00:00:00.000 I expect actually provinces after the independence of Quebec or maybe after the independence of Alberta that would be before Quebec's independence.
00:00:08.460 And the idea that an independent Quebec or an independent Alberta would not negotiate exactly as Canada is kind of negotiating right now.
00:00:21.220 So Donald Smith went to Florida and negotiated directly with Donald Trump.
00:00:25.280 But at least it would be our own diplomacy and our own voice in Washington negotiating with maybe a tone of voice that is not as arrogant as Justin Trudeau.
00:00:35.120 Because I think part of the problem is that apart from showing the colors of his socks, Justin Trudeau irritated the world by being a mix of very poor intellectual capacity and very high arrogance.
00:00:50.580 The fear of many is that we become very vulnerable if we separate from the point of view of the states.
00:00:57.360 He doesn't have any respect for Canada. I don't know.
00:00:59.640 OK. Well, thank you for saying that because it's not as if he's respecting Canada.
00:01:04.620 It's not as if the Canadian army can stop the American army if they decide.
00:01:09.280 I mean, there is a fear campaign that is irrational.
00:01:12.500 The arguments from the federal is pure fear, irrational fear.
00:01:15.780 So we had in one week an invasion of Russia, an invasion of the Americans, giving Quebec to Donald Trump.
00:01:23.900 I mean, the next step is an invasion of aliens.
00:01:26.160 So that's one thing.
00:01:26.920 Why would he not come into Quebec if he's ready to annex Canada? 0.87
00:01:29.880 Why would he not annex Quebec? 0.67
00:01:31.300 If he wants to annex Canada, he can do it right away.
00:01:34.560 And there's no way we can defend it.
00:01:36.680 OK, so who the heck is this guy with the annoying French accent and how is he relevant to the conversation about Alberta getting the heck out of Canada to become an independent country? 0.55
00:01:47.560 Well, let me introduce you to Paul St. Pierre.
00:01:50.220 He's the leader of a political party in Quebec, which will almost certainly win the next election in that part of Canada.
00:01:57.260 The party Quebecois is leading in every single poll under his leadership.
00:02:01.320 And St. Pierre has promised to call a referendum on independence for Quebec when he forms government.
00:02:07.680 And I know you're probably still wondering, what does that have to do with Alberta independence, PJ?
00:02:11.860 Well, besides the obvious fact that both provinces are still a part of Canada currently, and both are looking to separate from Canada for their own reasons,
00:02:21.000 there's also the very important fact that this guy has stated his support for Alberta independence publicly.
00:02:27.700 And he is an elected official in the province of Quebec.
00:02:31.320 He recently visited Alberta to express his support for our independence movement.
00:02:36.220 But he went even further and asserted that an independent Quebec would be one of the first jurisdictions to recognize an independent Alberta.
00:02:44.560 He reportedly met with the leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project, where there was talk of collaboration between the two independence movements.
00:02:52.340 This is very significant for Alberta patriots, as we add an elected official who is likely to be the next premier of a province next year, expressing support for the movement.
00:03:04.060 In his latest interview, he reiterated his support for Alberta sovereignty and dropped some shocking revelations about Canada that you're not going to want to miss.
00:03:12.620 So it's not about fighting.
00:03:16.520 I expect, actually, provinces after the independence of Quebec, or maybe after the independence of Alberta, that would be before Quebec's independence.
00:03:25.360 In any case, I expect provinces to just talk to each other and agree that we want as much business, as much easygoing business as possible.
00:03:35.820 I expect them to cooperate directly, but in all respect of their parliaments, instead of having the abuse of power that comes from a very few people in Ottawa.
00:03:46.160 The fear of many is that we become very vulnerable if we separate from the point of view of the states.
00:03:53.180 President Trump has big ambitions, lofty ambitions.
00:03:58.040 I mean, Quebec, an independent Quebec for him, I don't know that he would respect in the same sense,
00:04:03.780 because I would think that the first thing he would want to do is, I'm sure he'd love it if we used the U.S. dollar on a certain level,
00:04:11.580 but he, basically, it's a dangerous situation, only that he would think that he could come in.
00:04:19.620 He doesn't have any respect for Canada, I don't know.
00:04:22.000 Okay, well, thank you for saying that, because it's not as if he's respecting Canada.
00:04:26.880 It's not as if the Canadian army can stop the American army if they decide, I mean, so...
00:04:33.120 You not worry about him trying to, you know, like, become, take Quebec.
00:04:37.460 I mean, Quebec has a lot of advantages for him.
00:04:39.380 We've got, you know, hydroelectric power, we've got everything.
00:04:43.220 We've got natural resources.
00:04:44.680 It's always been the case.
00:04:45.700 I know, but, like, if he senses that, like, we're weak on a certain level,
00:04:51.280 that he would come in and pounce, that doesn't ever scare you?
00:04:54.200 I mean, there are two things.
00:04:56.480 First of all, there is a fear campaign that is irrational, and it's normal.
00:05:00.840 Every time there's a willingness to make Quebec a country, the arguments from the federal is pure fear, irrational fear.
00:05:09.800 So we had in one week an invasion of Russia, an invasion of the Americans, giving Quebec to Donald Trump.
00:05:17.780 I mean, the next step is an invasion of aliens.
00:05:19.680 But why is it an invasion, to Bill's point, about the U.S.?
00:05:23.420 So that's one thing.
00:05:24.380 Why would he not come into Quebec if he's ready to annex Canada? 0.87
00:05:27.320 Why would he not annex Quebec? 0.67
00:05:28.780 If he wants to annex Canada, he can do it right away, and there's no way we can defend it.
00:05:34.540 So he's not doing it.
00:05:35.860 To me, that's one of the most ridiculous and ironic statements some Canadians make as a reason for Alberta or any other province to stay in Canada.
00:05:45.620 You have people literally saying, well, if we separate, it'll make it easier for the Americans to invade in a nexus. 0.85
00:05:52.840 I have a hard time not laughing in their faces when they come up with such a delusional take on our current situation.
00:06:00.140 How do they not realize that if the Americans actually wanted to take over Canada by force, there is literally nothing stopping them?
00:06:09.640 Of course, there are some brave men in our military.
00:06:13.140 But the numbers, the equipment, the technology, and just sheer power isn't even close.
00:06:20.000 You're talking about the most powerful country on earth going against the Canadian military that has been neglected for many years by the liberal government.
00:06:30.820 Not to mention the fact that many Canadians would likely welcome the Americans as liberators. 0.56
00:06:36.460 But I digress.
00:06:37.260 The idea that an independent Quebec or an independent Alberta would not negotiate exactly as Canada is kind of negotiating right now.
00:06:49.400 Because in terms of being weak, what we saw under Kearney is basically provinces doing whatever with no coordination, acting as if they're countries.
00:06:59.780 So Donald Smith went to Florida and negotiated directly with Donald Trump.
00:07:03.600 And Dogford started TV ads without consulting anyone, not Quebec for sure.
00:07:09.800 And it translated into an extra 10% in tariffs in Quebec.
00:07:14.500 And then you have the Prince Edward Island who has its own team going around the U.S.
00:07:20.680 So you already have a very disoriented and dis...
00:07:28.660 I mean, it's just separate interests that are doing their own thing.
00:07:31.200 And Mark Carney that has no bargaining power, that had very clear promises about what he would do in terms of negotiating with Donald Trump, he respected none of those promises?
00:07:42.400 You see, those comments right there speak to the reality that Canada is already fragmented as a country.
00:07:50.180 This federation is so dysfunctional that individual provinces are already acting as independent countries as we speak.
00:07:58.800 In certain aspects, the provinces trust the Fed so little that everyone is doing their own thing to try to survive the chaos that has been caused under liberal rule.
00:08:09.860 So, particularly over the past 10 years, there is no cohesion or unity whatsoever.
00:08:17.480 Only a federal government bribing certain regions to keep them happy at the expense of others.
00:08:23.840 I give Canada 10 years before the facade falls apart.
00:08:29.000 Mark my words.
00:08:29.780 An independent Quebec would not be in a better or worse position, but at least it would be our own diplomacy and our own voice in Washington negotiating with maybe a tone of voice that is not as arrogant as Justin Trudeau.
00:08:44.380 Because I think part of the problem is that apart from showing the colors of his socks, Justin Trudeau irritated the world by being a mix of very poor intellectual capacity and very high arrogance.
00:09:00.600 And I think there's a price in terms of diplomacy with the Americans and with other European countries around the world.
00:09:07.860 So, our own diplomacy would be more modest, less arrogant, and I think smarter in terms of representing our own interests.
00:09:16.320 But there would be no guarantee of the difference, right?
00:09:18.100 There would be no guarantee of the difference, better or worse.
00:09:20.120 It's just another nation, country, province, whatever.
00:09:23.440 There is no guarantee indeed of better or worse.
00:09:26.300 It's just that it's our decision and our interest.
00:09:29.120 That's the principle of democracy.
00:09:30.440 Democracy is about deciding for yourself, with your people, not having a domination from another people on your political will.
00:09:40.400 It's just that.
00:09:41.440 And we have the same mentality of not being for sale.
00:09:45.680 Like, you can't buy our stance.
00:09:48.860 You can't influence whoever, whatever law becomes to us.
00:09:53.080 We are perfectly free and we give a direction exactly like in the 70s.
00:09:58.280 So, in that sense, I think that's why I have hope in terms of bringing people together.
00:10:28.280 Say in a way.
00:10:42.280 Say in a way.
00:10:46.000 Say in a way.
00:10:50.280 Say in a way.
00:10:55.320 Say in a way.
