people think that it's ontario holding canada together no it's it's alberta's money if alberta
00:00:05.760
takes the amount of money that it sends to other provinces as a bribe including quebec this country
00:00:12.960

00:00:29.200

you i'll leave the full conversation in the link below you can check it out on the faith the nation
00:00:45.200
youtube channel let's get into the video when we've had 10 years where every single metric canada has
00:00:51.760
just gotten worse crime is higher groceries are more expensive you cannot afford a house immigration is
00:00:59.040
out of control and these people somehow convinced convinced you that a president from a completely
00:01:04.960
different country is to blame for all those issues that the liberals created it's insane wow yeah no the
00:01:11.840
way you put it i mean that's that's exactly you know that's definitely some you know the way to put it but
00:01:18.000
uh from i guess from uh from our side the way i'm looking at it because i you know i've been hearing
00:01:25.200
a little bit about the alberta separation even before you know the uh the canadian elections and it was
00:01:32.400
it was kind of my understanding that if canada had elected you know pierre pauliev and went the
00:01:40.640
conservative route then perhaps would it have been a little bit harder for alberta to
00:01:50.320
to be able to get referendum in other words electing mark carney didn't that really like propel
00:01:58.560
even more uh this movement for alberta separation so technically having carney in office doesn't that
00:02:05.360
work better for uh for the movement yeah honestly central canada kind of did us a favor on that one
00:02:12.400
that's the other angle on that obviously it's a bitter bittersweet thing to realize because
00:02:18.080
that definitely the liberals winning after the terrible 10 years we've had has put a fire
00:02:23.520
under albertans that we haven't had before we have we've never the premier herself will say danielle
00:02:29.920
smith that she's never seen support for alberta sovereignty in the mid-30s ever alberta's premier
00:02:37.120
says the desire to separate from canada has never been higher in this province i will say again that the
00:02:43.840
separatist sentiment was created by ottawa by policies that targeted our industry that chased
00:02:50.160
away investment and that are still in place today i take that seriously and i i hope that the federal
00:02:55.360
government takes that seriously and now there's some polls showing as high as mid 40s like this is a
00:03:01.760
very real situation in alberta that's brewing and there's a lot of people that are getting very
00:03:07.600
organized including like i said before the alberta prosperity project pierre winning i think would
00:03:14.480
have it would have toned down the temperature in alberta because he would have thrown on
00:03:19.760
thrown some things at us kind of like um stephen harper did not sure if you know who who that was
00:03:25.520
that was the last uh conservative prime minister here in canada he was a conservative and the alberta
00:03:32.240
independence movement wasn't nearly as high because he was pro energy uh he wasn't as pro energy as he
00:03:38.480
could have been um but he would placate the whole situation by giving alberta certain things certain
00:03:45.280
concessions that albertans wanted and and the economy was doing well and and life was you know
00:03:50.880
affordable here so we didn't have the need to go after independence as much as we do like a lot of
00:03:58.160
people this is for them is cents and dollars like they realize that alberta would be much better off
00:04:04.080
and that we've been taking advantage for way too long uh you mentioned danielle smith uh who is like
00:04:10.000
you're basically like you know alberta's governor that you know and just speaking in you know us terms
00:04:15.920
uh but she's the premier of alberta um what side do you think she's taking here because i've seen it
00:04:23.280
that she's kind of playing the middle road here she doesn't want to be too pro uh alberta independence
00:04:29.280
movement um and then she's also trying to talk about like uh having a free and you know independent
00:04:38.400
alberta within canada or or i can't remember the wording that she used uh where do you think she
00:04:43.760
actually stands in all of this yeah in the independence movement at least as far as i can tell i i try to stay
00:04:51.680
in touch with that movement as much as i can because that is really at this point politically
00:04:56.800
all i care about i just want to see alberta become independent from canada i think that's the best
00:05:00.560
thing that can happen to this to this province in this part of the world for the west to free itself
00:05:06.160
i think she's been playing the middle i think that's a decent uh decently accurate characterization
00:05:11.360
of what she's doing certain people within the alberta independence movement think that she's doing
00:05:16.960
the right thing she's trying to keep this grassroots you know keep it a volunteer movement a movement of
00:05:24.240
the people she doesn't want to politicize it others are saying that she's not brave enough that she could
00:05:29.280
take she could take more percussions she could install a firewall is what people call it here like like bring
00:05:37.120
our pensions here from ottawa you know alberta police like ontario and quebec have their own provincial
00:05:43.440
police get the rcmp which is our federal police get them out of here and bring an alberta police which
00:05:48.960
she has moved towards that but she could do it like immediately through a mandate because she's got a
00:05:53.840
majority government she could do many more things other people say that well she could do a lot less
00:06:00.080
she did just lower the threshold to make a referendum actually attainable and she's also bringing our
00:06:07.680
our our difficulties with ottawa she's bringing it to the to the spotlight by talking about it as much
00:06:14.720
as she can so just play in the middle i would say um as far as like an independent alberta uh let's say
00:06:22.320
you know the referendum happens and alberta gains their independence uh what does an independent alberta look
00:06:29.520
like economically uh what are some of the things that alberta is going to be able to strive on by
00:06:35.920
separating from canada and what are they going to be able to provide uh north america and even the
00:06:41.680
world as an independent alberta that's a really good question economically there is a document that
00:06:49.680
the leaders of the alberta prosperity project produced i appreciate the app because again they
00:06:56.880
are the most legitimate movement in alberta promoting independence and they created a fiscal uh budget
00:07:05.920
basically would be budget of what an independent alberta would look like removing ottawa from our
00:07:12.320
finances and it looks pretty damn good it's what i was telling you before for a lot of people this is
00:07:19.040
cents and dollars and they realize that alberta would simply just be fiscally better in every way
00:07:24.960
possible when you speak about the economy are we would be able to negotiate from a strong position
00:07:33.600
from a position of sovereignty we would negotiate with canada and the united states as an independent
00:07:38.880
nation and people say well you'd be a landlocked nation well okay aren't there any landlocked nations
00:07:44.800
that are successful i can think of two or three really quickly and you have switzerland you have
00:07:50.480
austria you have hungary all of these nations are landlocked and they have really good economies
00:07:56.240
when you have a province like alberta that is blocked at every single every single thing that it
00:08:01.120
tries to do to advance this economy it's blocked by bureaucracy by the federal government by other
00:08:07.280
provinces that are left-leaning like british columbia how is it different uh from being a landlocked
00:08:14.400
country if we're already a landlocked province if that makes sense so but if we were a country we at
00:08:20.400
least can negotiate by ourselves we don't have to get the federal government who already don't want to see
00:08:26.960
us prosper and don't want to see us get ahead negotiating for us we could also negotiate
00:08:33.440
directly with the united states which that's another point right there yeah that was going to be my next
00:08:39.520
um um i guess follow-up question is you know that's where the united states comes in because surely
00:08:45.600
uh with the the rich uh land that alberta has with its uh oil reserves and uh you know everything that
00:08:54.240
alberta offers you you better darn well know that donald trump is going to be like you know he's
00:09:01.120
going to be licking his lips and be like man i i know we can make a deal right we can help you guys
00:09:06.800
out you guys can help us and uh and so the landlock issue i think is really just uh an argument from
00:09:13.520
silence it's not even going to be an issue um for alberta because uh because again i mean there's going to
00:09:20.320
be other means uh to be able to negotiate with the united states and that'll open up you know east and
00:09:25.840
west coast uh right there if if alberta does nothing else but become its own independent nation uh and
00:09:32.080
that's assuming that saskatchewan and and the other provinces don't you know immediately follow uh to
00:09:38.560
join uh that's the other thing too is and we'll we'll get into a little bit of the 51st state thing
00:09:45.040
in a little bit but i want to focus a little bit more on canada per se if alberta does wind up
00:09:54.320
getting the referendum and declaring being able to declare independence by the will of the people
00:10:00.880
uh who what do you think is going to happen with the rest of western canada the rest of western
00:10:08.640
canada obviously this is all hypothetical because we don't know we'll see we'll see what happens in
00:10:13.600
spring of 2026 when the official referendum comes in and and we vote vote our way out of this mess
00:10:19.920
that is today's canada western canada specifically saskatchewan is very closely aligned with alberta
00:10:28.160
it's like its little brother or little sibling so if alberta left i think it'd be a domino effect
00:10:34.960
i don't know about manitoba because they're a bit more left-leaning over there although
00:10:39.360
rural manitoba is very conservative but winnipeg controls everything the capital basically
00:10:45.520
and then british columbia is very um very leftist to the vancouver area and the lower mainland
00:10:52.320
but what i can tell you right now is that if alberta separated the pressure for saskatchewan to
00:10:58.560
follow suit either join alberta in whatever alberta has become whether an independent nation or
00:11:04.720
part of the united states which is also being talked about i think saskatchewan would want to
00:11:10.320
follow it would be a domino effect there what happens with british colombia and manitoba that's
00:11:15.600
a little bit trickier especially with british colombia bc because it's in the coast and all of
00:11:21.360
that they might even try to just separate from canada themselves and be their own country as well
00:11:26.240
it will open a pandora box for sure or a can of worms like all hell will break loose because
00:11:32.960
people think that it's ontario holding canada together no it's it's alberta's money if alberta
00:11:38.640
takes the amount of money that it sends to other provinces as a bribe including quebec this country
00:11:45.840
falls apart so talk a little bit about that um there's in canada uh there's like subsidies
00:11:52.720
or i mean help me out a little bit obviously it's you know uh you're just my neighbor to the north
00:11:57.520
and i'm not too in tune and i'm trying to be but um within canada there's some kind of like subsidies
00:12:05.120
that each province pays to ottawa um and i think they call them let me out here equalization payments
00:12:15.200
yeah so tell us a little bit how that works how alberta's uh involved in that and what that looks
00:12:20.800
like for an albertan and uh yeah tell us about that yeah man it's the soviet socialist dream just north
00:12:28.480
of the 49th parallel guys uh we you have what they call have not provinces which are the biggest culprit
00:12:37.760
of all of these is quebec you know the frenchies out east that we albertans have really no love lost
00:12:44.800
for uh it's it's like a rivalry there um they canada what what they do is that they give they
00:12:53.280
take money from those provinces like alberta that are have a higher gdp production and then they
00:12:59.600
redistribute it equalization to equalize make things equal and keep the same standard of living
00:13:06.480
all over the country and on paper that sounds great but you know that the thing with socialism
00:13:12.320
right like at some point you run out of other people's money right to add insult to injury
00:13:18.480
for alberta specifically is the fact that those same provinces that are the biggest recipients of
00:13:24.880
funds coming from alberta and its energy industry are the biggest opponents and the most pronounced
00:13:31.600
opponents of the development of said industry that is the the irony that i i don't tire from talking
00:13:39.600
about every single day on my channel is the fact that quebec takes to the tune of 15 billion dollars
00:13:45.760
from alberta in equalization payments every year so you imagine a pipeline but of cash little literally
00:13:53.680
cash billions of dollars from alberta to quebec every single year but they will not allow
00:14:00.800
even a liquefied natural gas pipeline from alberta through quebec to the east coast
00:14:07.760
for us to continue to produce that money that they so enjoy to pay for their socialist programs
00:14:13.520
it sounds uh sounds very hypocritical uh if they like your money but they don't want you to make the
00:14:19.200
money all right thanks for watching thank you for subscribing special thanks to those of you who
