00:00:09.900If Alberta wanted us to build a pipeline to the West Coast because they said, hey, we want, you know, we've got another two million barrels of oil per day that we want to ship to Asia and Japan.
00:00:22.080I would think that we'd be very open to having that discussion.
00:00:24.880For some reason, the federal government isn't prepared to make the changes.
00:00:28.620um i i have to say the the americans are still very interested valuable um a bitumen pipeline
00:00:34.920would be we'd be talking about a million barrels a day and all of alberta's energy resources oil
00:00:40.560gas bitumen all of our agricultural products are exempt from tariffs and and that's what we've got
00:00:45.800to be working towards okay so it looks like alberta's finally fed up of having to deal with
00:00:50.300the liberal government in canada as well as the woke crazy government out in british columbia
00:00:55.000that won't let us export our resources and our oil and gas.
00:01:00.220You won't play ball, and we're just going to bypass you altogether.
00:01:03.580We can't export out of British Columbia.
00:01:05.460Then we'll just go south, and we'll do to you what Saskatchewan did with the potash.
00:01:09.900You wanted the whole potash export terminal out of Vancouver.
00:01:13.500British Columbia ain't going to happen.
00:01:15.400We're going to export out of Washington state instead.
00:01:18.540Because if you don't want our energy and you don't want those jobs
00:01:21.260that our energy would produce in your province,
00:01:23.240then we're just gonna we're just gonna move on and it looks like premier danielle smith is going
00:01:28.200to be negotiating directly with the americans in both washington state as well as oregon good on
00:01:34.520her okay so we got an article from the western standard alberta-based newspaper bridger's
00:01:40.840proposed pipeline could reshape canadian oil exports to u.s refineries this is an article
00:01:47.160As of today, Calgary, a proposed pipeline to move Canadian, I would say, Albertan oil into the United States, is taking shape with a significantly larger capacity than first advertised, as developers look to expand export options and tap into growing demands south of the border.
00:02:06.600bridger pipelines project would cost roughly two billion dollars and eventually carry more than
00:02:12.340one million barrels of oil per day from the u.s canada border to wyoming initial plans filed
00:02:19.860in january with montana regulators outlined a smaller system capable of transporting about
00:02:25.200550 000 barrels per day of crude from near the border in phillips county through eastern montana
00:02:32.720and into Wyoming. But updated filings submitted in late March show a much more ambitious proposal.
00:02:40.200The 36-inch pipeline would stretch nearly 650 miles, about 1,050 kilometers, and ultimately
00:02:47.560handle up to 1.13 million barrels per day, though it is expected to begin operations at roughly half
00:02:55.660that level. The bulk of construction would take place in Montana, where about 435 miles of
00:03:01.820pipeline would be installed at a project cost of $1.96 billion. Developers say the route would
00:03:10.180largely follow existing pipeline corridors to limit environmental disruption and new land use.
00:03:17.100And the reason why this is incredibly important is because it is much easier for Alberta to
00:03:23.100deal with the United States in every sense of the word. It's just factually easier for Alberta
00:03:30.180to deal with americans when it comes to energy this is a map of north america here at the top
00:03:35.720you got canada at least the lower provinces and then you have the u.s here here's a pattern that
00:03:41.360you can immediately notice most pipelines actually all pipelines that are coming out of alberta
00:03:48.840got oil and gas pipelines go south except for one all of them except for one go south of the border
00:03:56.560The only one is the most recently built Trans Mountain, which goes to the ports out in Vancouver area.
00:04:03.480But all of the other pipelines, they go southeast into Saskatchewan and then Manitoba, and then they go south.
00:04:10.960Some of them directly south from Alberta.
00:04:16.200Even under Democrat governments, it's still easier to deal with the Americans than it is to deal with the rest of Canada.
00:04:23.220Now, you think in a country with the third largest oil reserves in the world, which Canada is, thanks to Alberta, you think that there'd be pipelines this way, more than one, there'd be some to the north, to the Arctic, and there'd be at least one or two to the east.
00:04:39.300but literally in order for the east end of canada ontario quebec and all that to get oil resources
00:04:46.420it has to go south into the u.s and then come back up into the east uh the east part of canada
00:04:53.900into eastern canada so you don't have direct pipelines and why is that because canada has
00:05:00.900blocked it time and time again time and time again alberta has pushed for pipelines so that
00:05:05.760the country is more self-dependent, it never happens. That's yet another reason why Alberta
00:05:10.760is looking for more sovereignty and more independence. Gas prices here are spiking
00:05:14.940because of the war in Iran. What are you doing to fix that? And especially considering that the
00:05:21.680largest oil refinery in our country is in New Brunswick. Is it time for the west to east pipeline?
00:05:27.740Your question about energy, I'm going to broaden it to a question of energy infrastructure.
00:05:32.460So whether it's necessarily the east-west pipeline, or more broadly, building out more rapidly our considerable energy assets here.
00:05:44.780We're in Nova Scotia. I'll be meeting with the Premier tomorrow.
00:05:48.220One of the things we'll talk about is Wind West.
00:05:50.960You know, a huge opportunity here to get renewable power, cheap power that we'll build out.
00:05:57.380We also have opportunities on the east coast in conventional energy.
00:06:02.460which we'll be exploring to build that out and across this country.
00:06:52.280hey, you guys are literally gonna destroy the economy
00:06:55.040and I'm trying to run my grift here for Brookfield.
00:06:58.020So please don't run any ads. In all this madness, in all this craziness, Alberta and Saskatchewan have been the two adults in the room actually working diplomacy for a change, making diplomacy the priority, realizing that the United States is not only our closest ally, but our biggest trading partner, second to none.
00:07:21.580This is what the map would look like. So the Alberta here, the energy, the energy powerhouse of North America, you got it right here. It will go down here, go through northwestern Montana, because that's near Glacier National Park, then north Idaho, and then entering, I guess, tweening in Washington to go south towards Oregon and into Washington ports as well.
00:07:48.500and then towards the Pacific Asian markets.
00:07:52.300This is what the Premier of Alberta, Daniel Smith,
00:07:54.640had to say today in regards to the pipeline project.
