Hey everybody, it's PJ. Got a bit of an update for you guys on the Alberta independence front.
00:00:05.440
Got a video that I put up a couple of days back that had some issues with YouTube. I've now
00:00:11.300
addressed the concerns that platform had and hopefully this time there won't be any problems.
00:00:18.300
Hope you guys can enjoy the video. I know that the Americans would be under this president would
00:00:23.680
be interested in finding a way to get more product down to the U.S. because it just makes sense.
00:00:27.240
We can backfill into the U.S. to keep prices low for their consumers. That allows them to export
00:00:32.800
internationally, which satisfies their national security goals. And it's really a perfect
00:00:37.920
partnership. I think that's why we don't have tariffs on oil and gas right now is because it
00:00:41.320
is such a good relationship. Representative appointed by President Trump to explore the benefits of
00:00:47.320
either Alberta becoming an independent sovereign nation with economic union in the United States,
00:00:51.980
becoming a U.S. territory or pursuing full statehood. So those are our goals.
00:00:58.780
How has Canada lost their way? How has Canada lost their way to make you think you've got to join us?
00:01:03.240
Part of why it is that people in Alberta are fed up with being governed by idiotic politicians from
00:01:09.720
Quebec and Ontario that do not understand our province and do not understand that culturally
00:01:14.420
we're far more closely affiliated with our friends to the south in Montana than we are with all of the
00:01:20.820
people in Ottawa rigging their hands over the smell of diesel exhaust when people from Alberta come to
00:01:26.660
protest how badly we're being treated by Ottawa.
00:01:34.260
While the rest of Canada seems determined to continue their decay as long as they can keep their
00:01:41.120
elbows up, the province of Alberta continues to move forward in its further integration into the
00:01:48.380
American economy. A majority of Albertans are simply fed up with how the federal government has been
00:01:55.020
running the country into the ground and treating their province badly for many years, especially over
00:02:01.100
the last decade when the liberals under communist drama queen Justin Trudeau turned Canada from a decent
00:02:08.140
and respected country into an international laughing stock and a shadow of its former self.
00:02:14.940
Their woke socialist policies have caused incredible damage to this country. Some would even call it irreversible.
00:02:23.020
Yet those same liberals were rewarded by East and Central Canada with yet another four years in power.
00:02:30.460
An overwhelming majority of Albertans voted conservative. But in Canada, the unfortunate reality is it doesn't matter
00:02:40.700
what Albertans want. Even though they contribute the most per capita, their voices mean nothing in front of
00:02:48.220
those of Quebec and Ontario. This has made many Albertans realize that it is time Alberta leaves Canada and becomes
00:02:57.260
independent, maybe even joining the USA. So let's get into it. Very quickly though, if you enjoy these videos,

00:03:13.580
Two thirds of UCP voters support independence. It's not a majority of Albertans, but it's two thirds of UCP voters.
00:03:20.780
And traditionally members of a party tend to be more strided, more ideological, uh, more right wing than the,
00:03:29.260
than the public at large. I, if this goes to a vote of UCP members, I have a hard time seeing how this is
00:03:37.180
anything but a pretty resounding yes vote. The tactic of being able to say, we're putting it in the hands of
00:03:42.860
Albertans. If they initiate a referendum, they can have that vote. They can make that decision.
00:03:47.340
That's where it belongs and not within the party. Cause then you can rip your own party very
00:03:53.580
dangerously, or at least your base of support in a general election. I would hope there'd be a spirited
00:03:58.460
discussion and maybe along those lines. And again, I mean, this is as pro independence as we've ever
00:04:02.700
seen from a governing party in this province. And, and there's still room to push it further.
00:04:06.860
The thing is you're going to have huge political machines on the federalist side in this referendum.
00:04:15.260
Uh, you're going to have the Alberta NDP. You're going to have whatever small machines are for the
00:04:21.340
federal and, uh, the federal NDP and the liberals, which in a few pockets, there's something, but
00:04:26.780
nothing big, but the conservative party of Canada is going to do everything it can.
00:04:31.740
They have the most to lose politically with independency.
00:04:34.380
Well, and that's why I'm so committed to it being a grassroots individuals or, you know,
00:04:39.420
groups and movements rather, but trying to get into the party.
00:04:42.060
Canada is going to be here fighting against it surely.
00:04:45.660
Yeah. And you're going to have the, the Alberta NDP opposing it.
00:04:48.780
As the day gets closer for Albertans to vote in an independence referendum,
00:04:54.540
the more the federal government opposing parties and special interest groups are going to come out of the
00:05:00.780
woodwork to attack and undermine Albertans desire to obtain their sovereignty.
00:05:06.540
It's already happening where there's a concerted effort from leftist organizations
00:05:14.620
They're already coming up with falsehoods and attack ads.
00:05:18.380
Expect things to get much worse as voting day gets closer.
00:05:22.700
A majority of Alberta conservatives support independence.
00:05:26.620
Some are around 66% and some polls have general support ranging from 40 to 45%.
00:05:34.380
So very close to the 50% plus one that we would need in order to win the vote.
00:05:41.020
The Alberta government knows this, which is why they're careful not to interfere in the citizen-led
00:05:48.940
They don't want to anger their voting base, which seems determined to put independence to a vote in 2026.
00:05:56.620
Albertans are making their voices heard every chance they get,
00:06:00.540
and they're saying it loud and clear. They want independence.
00:06:04.940
Alberta independence is the elephant in this room.
00:06:09.100
Do you support Alberta exiting Canadian Confederation and becoming a sovereign nation?
00:06:14.860
This is something of a summertime tradition in Alberta.
00:06:22.220
This panel on a road trip of sorts, crisscrossing the province, taking the political temperature of Albertans.
00:06:31.820
The conversations that we have tonight and throughout the Alberta Next engagement process
00:06:39.180
A build is a way for Albertans to help map out a new place for their province in Canada.
00:06:44.700
I think the Alberta pension plan, personally, is the biggest leverage tool we have in any kind
00:06:54.700
I think if we just stopped sending Ottawa money, we would have so much in this province.
00:07:01.660
This town hall is packed. This journey, one these Albertans seem willing to take again.
00:07:08.380
People are frustrated. They're frustrated with the state of their relationship with Ottawa.
00:07:12.220
They're frustrated with decades-long grievances that they haven't felt they've been able to air.
00:07:16.540
Albertans have had enough of seeing their province send billions of dollars to Ottawa
00:07:22.300
and the rest of the country while that same country blocks their development at every chance they get.
00:07:31.660
Patience has run out and they're now demanding change from their government.
00:07:36.780
They're showing up to these town hall meetings that the provincial government is organizing
00:07:41.580
and telling them straight to their face that Alberta should simply stop
00:07:46.140
sending the rest of Canada money altogether, even if it's illegal to stop.
00:07:51.980
That's just how little patience Albertans have for the status quo.
00:07:56.460
The thing is, Albertans have realized that they have options.
00:07:59.740
One of their best and biggest options is to integrate more with the Americans,
00:08:05.580
who seem to be much more supportive of Albertans' aspirations and economic goals.
00:08:11.420
While Canada keeps blocking energy development for Alberta, President Trump offers to restart Keystone XL
00:08:18.940
and other energy projects which will see Alberta more involved in the American economy while the rest of Canada is hostile towards the United States.
00:08:29.500
The Alberta government knows this and they're moving forward with it.
00:08:33.580
You were in Washington and again, the Eastern press was saying,
00:08:42.060
He's open to being convinced by a good argument.
00:08:44.780
And what you saw is that he also said he'd like to see a restart of something like a Keystone XL pipeline,
00:08:54.140
I would love to see us get to a point where we can build more pipelines in Canada.
00:08:59.100
But if that doesn't happen, then I know that the Americans under this president would be interested in finding a way to get more product down to the U.S.
00:09:09.340
We can backfill into the U.S. to keep prices low for their consumers.
00:09:13.100
That allows them to export internationally, which satisfies their national security goals.
00:09:20.060
I think that's why we don't have tariffs on oil and gas right now is because it is such a good relationship where we both benefit.
00:09:29.020
Special thanks to those of you who have donated to this project.
