I've met with over 20 members of Congress and Senate, and my message to the U.S. has been clear.
00:00:06.000
We know they want to achieve energy dominance, but the path to energy dominance doesn't stop at the U.S. border.
00:00:12.380
It starts with Alberta. To do this, we must work together, collaboratively,
00:00:17.340
and that means moving ahead as partners with a tariff-free relationship.
00:00:21.440
That's the message I brought to Washington this week.
00:00:30.000
So here's the truth. Alberta's done waiting for Ottawa to come around.
00:00:34.860
They're not gonna. The Canadian federal government's made it very clear.
00:00:39.740
They don't want Alberta oil and gas. They want net zero, carbon credits, and photo ops at climate summits.
00:00:46.800
While the Feds keep trying to kill off our energy sector, Alberta's taking matters into its own hands.
00:00:53.800
The Premier didn't sit around begging Carney for scraps.
00:00:56.900
She flew straight to Washington, met with Trump officials, senators, even cabinet members,
00:01:06.280
One where Alberta helps America become energy dominant,
00:01:09.760
and in return, gets treated like a part of the family, not the unwanted stepchild.
00:01:15.800
This isn't just some trade agreement. It's a crucial alliance.
00:01:20.260
And all of this is happening just days before Donald Trump lands in Alberta for the G7.
00:01:24.860
Alberta's not just looking south. It's basically moving south. And fast.
00:01:36.920
600 bucks in carbon taxes just to run my tractor this week. That's not sustainable.
00:01:42.800
These prices are insane. And then they tax us again for fuel to stock the shelves?
00:01:48.340
We're the only place in the world with this much wealth that needs permission to use it.
00:01:54.480
We drill the ground. They drain our pockets. Not anymore.
00:01:59.200
They talk reconciliation, then block indigenous resource projects.
00:02:28.340

So independence is not only something that we all should desire, should think is for the benefit of our children and our grandchildren and our families.
00:02:59.380
Becoming independent from Canada is now a matter of urgency.
00:03:03.960
Canada is literally planning the destruction of our culture, the destruction of our economy,
00:03:09.120
the robbery of all of our savings and home equity, all under the guise of the World Economic Forum slogan that we're all going to own nothing and be happy.
00:03:19.680
So again, I want to thank everybody tonight for coming out.
00:03:23.240
I want to thank everybody for listening to our message this evening.
00:03:27.220
It's very important that we all continue to band together.
00:03:29.900
The way I see it, Albertans have had it, plain and simple.
00:03:35.060
Folks are starting to realize that staying in this broken federation isn't just holding us back, it's dragging us down.
00:03:42.600
Taxes through the roof, crime worse than ever, out of control mass immigration, and our kids can't even find a summer job.
00:03:55.000
Meanwhile, politicians in Ottawa call that a success.
00:04:02.500
You can hear it at independence town halls and rallies.
00:04:07.760
The crowds are bigger, the energy is real, and people are talking seriously about independence.
00:04:18.260
The federal government and their media lapdogs can't get rid of this one.
00:04:23.140
It's growing, it's organized, and it's moving forward.
00:04:27.940
And that's a hallmark of Albertans, is that we believe there should be limits on the role that government has in our lives.
00:04:34.380
We don't want to wake up in the morning and have the government tell us every single thing we can and can't do that day,
00:04:39.880
and tuck us in at night and promise to keep us safe, because we know governments can't actually do that.
00:04:45.600
We're too incompetent and increasingly corrupt.
00:04:49.120
But Albertans want to have freedom of choice of the decisions they make in a day and how they live their lives.
00:04:54.940
Albertans realize that sometimes we're going to fall down as individuals, and we're going to get up and dust ourselves off,
00:05:00.200
and we're going to put our head into the wind and our shoulder to the wheel, and we're going to move forward.
00:05:04.500
That's our culture, and that's our history of homesteaders and ranchers and so on, oilmen.
00:05:11.640
And so I think some people will be attracted not just because of the obvious economic advantages,
00:05:19.200
They don't want government dictating every aspect of their lives.
00:05:30.980
That safe, decent, clean, and affordable place we were proud to be a part of.
00:05:39.020
What we've got now is a top-down, socialist nanny state that wants to control what you drive,
00:05:44.780
what you eat, how you hit your home, and even what opinions you're allowed to share.
00:05:50.920
Sure, Albertans are not going to put up with it.
00:05:53.820
We believe in working hard, minding our own business, and being left alone.
00:06:01.260
The rest of the country might be sleepwalking into tyranny,
00:06:09.680
but because we're not going to roll over and play nice while the federal government strangles the future of our kids.
00:06:20.160
I'm making Alberta's pitch to rebuild our relationship through more free trade, not less.
00:06:26.080
We have a long-standing trade relationship with the United States,
00:06:31.420
and the more than 450,000 kilometers of pipeline that connect our two countries is proof of that.
00:06:37.740
And we have big ambitions to double our oil and gas production.
00:06:41.940
And while we're actively advocating for an oil pipeline to the West Coast,
00:06:45.920
we also want to sell more to the United States.
00:06:50.780
With highly integrated supply chains, the more oil we sell to the United States,
00:06:58.540
We know that the U.S. needs heavy oil and natural gas so they can refine it,
00:07:02.880
power their homes and businesses, keep prices low, and also export it around the world.
00:07:08.280
I've met with over 20 members of Congress and Senate, and my message to the U.S. has been clear.
00:07:14.760
We know they want to achieve energy dominance, but the path to energy dominance doesn't stop at the U.S. border.
00:07:23.100
To do this, we must work together, collaboratively, and that means moving ahead as partners with a tariff-free relationship.
00:07:29.620
That's the message I brought to Washington this week.
