00:00:00.000 that i think is something that the presidency under is beginning to understand very well
00:00:04.320 certainly the interior secretary doug bergam and energy the energy secretary chris wright understand
00:00:10.160 that very well and so we're looking to see if we can normalize our our partnership so that
00:00:15.120 we can get into talking about what those new pipelines might look like i commented in a
00:00:25.120 previous video about what seems to be the strategy that the premier of alberta daniel smith is
00:00:30.160 following she's hinted several times about talks and meetings she's having with the trump
00:00:35.200 administration to work out a deal that's mutually beneficial for both the united states and alberta
00:00:41.760 it'll come as no surprise to anyone watching this channel that one of the major goals of president
00:00:46.400 trump is to achieve what he calls american energy dominance it will also come as no surprise to
00:00:52.800 those listening that one of alberta's main goals is to get more energy pipelines built
00:00:58.320 the leader of alberta's government has presented her demands to canada's prime minister
00:01:03.040 putting emphasis in how crucial this is if canada wants to continue being a united country
00:01:08.960 she's also hinted likely purposefully that our government is already in talks with top officials
00:01:14.800 from the trump administration who are willing to offer alberta that which canada isn't meanwhile
00:01:21.600 several chiefs traveled from alberta to ottawa to demand carney and king charles honor treaty rights
00:01:28.960 we need to hold the prime minister carney accountable we need to keep him his feet to the fire
00:01:35.600 and at task you know the king came here to read out you know the throne speech
00:01:42.880 you know very disappointed again no word about treaty
00:01:46.640 chiefs wanted to meet with the king to discuss concerns like resource revenue sharing and
00:01:52.720 protecting the environment but that did not happen they sound like they just found out that the british
00:01:59.680 monarchy could care less about their opinions or concerns it's really unfortunate but the way native 1.00
00:02:05.680 canadians have been mistreated especially by the crown is nothing new so i find it really ironic when
00:02:12.720 i hear aboriginal chiefs claim that they made a deal with the crown and place any sort of trust on
00:02:18.400 that so they went to ottawa to see the king and request an audience with him and the prime minister i
00:02:24.320 guess and it sounds like charles didn't even bother to give them 10 minutes again that kind of behavior
00:02:30.880 from the crown towards indigenous people is nothing new they've been doing that for hundreds of years 1.00
00:02:36.560 many people who oppose alberta independence seem to be misinformed about what treaty land actually means
00:02:42.720 from the sounds of it they think it's land that's fully owned by the native tribes and that because 0.64
00:02:47.600 of this alberta can't legally separate well i regret to inform you that's nonsense here's the reality of
00:02:55.200 what treaty land actually means you're looking at a tweet by alberta constitutional lawyer keith wilson
00:03:01.760 where he explains that treaty lands were ceded as in permanently given up to the federal government
00:03:08.640 then in the 1930s the natural resources transfer agreement saw the canadian federal government
00:03:15.200 transfer the ownership of that treaty land to the government of alberta reservations are continued to
00:03:22.000 be owned by the tribes and they only make up about 1.3 percent of alberta's total land mass
00:03:28.560 on a different note over 2 000 albertans showed up to the united conservatives event in calgary
00:03:34.640 where the premier spoke about her demands of the federal government and how she has no patience for 1.00
00:03:39.680 the status quo so let me say this as clearly as i can with all due respect to prime minister mark carney
00:03:47.200 anyone else on my medicine in our way i will not i cannot allow the status quo to continue
00:04:04.640 our government has committed to negotiating a new deal for alberta uh an alberta of a court if you will
00:04:10.240 first alberta requires guaranteed corridor and foreign access to tidewater off the pacific arctic
00:04:17.360 and atlantic coasts with the international export of alberta oil gas mineral minerals
00:04:23.440 and other resources
00:04:29.520 second the federal government must hand all federal interference in the development of provincial
00:04:34.800 resources by repealing the no new white wine slot c69 the oil tanker mat and then zero electricity
00:04:41.200 to make zero the gas for the tuesday's mat the net zero vehicle landing and any federal law
00:04:46.880 regulation is a force to regulate the rest of our commission's plastics commercial speech of
00:04:52.320 energy companies and so on third the federal government must refrain from imposing export
00:04:58.720 taxes or restrictions on the export of alberta resources without the consent of the government
00:05:03.280 in alberta and fourth the federal government must provide alberta the saving for capital federal
00:05:09.280 transfers and equalization as it's received by penetrating large
00:05:18.240 we'll see what happens but i don't have much hope for her demands being met
00:05:22.480 i'm also not dumb enough to trust the promise coming from a liberal
00:05:26.480 many albertans feel frustrated that she's even entertaining the possibility of staying a part
00:05:31.440 of canada under any conditions to this she's answered that her job is to try to improve alberta's
00:05:37.520 position within canada i'm personally not a fan of that approach i wish she just came out and 0.97
00:05:43.600 supported independence but she did implement the law making the referendum vote a more attainable
00:05:50.000 possibility if you will so i'll give her that i'll also give her credit for continuing communications
00:05:56.240 with the americans and advancing bilateral deals directly with the trump administration
00:06:01.680 she mentioned in a previous interview something to the effect of what will it look like to albertans
00:06:07.440 that it's much easier to make a deal on energy pipelines with the americans than it is within
00:06:12.160 our own country what will that do for national unity and she's got a solid point there once albertans 0.91
00:06:18.800 realize it's a lot easier to do business with our neighbors to the south and that our industry is
00:06:23.680 actually appreciated and respected by them why would we stay a part of canada the american aspiration
00:06:29.840 of energy dominance hinges on being able to have a partner who can backfill if there is any supply
00:06:36.720 disruption so the americans right now consume about 19 million barrels of oil a day and produces 13
00:06:42.240 million barrels and so you need to get the balance from somewhere we happen to have a particular brand
00:06:47.120 of heavy oil that isn't available in the u.s the only other partners you'd have to look at are places like
00:06:53.200 iran and venezuela or you'd have to retool your refineries and so i think because we have this
00:06:59.120 unique integrated relationship the the fact that we're able to sell about 100 billion worth of oil
00:07:04.720 products at a discount to the u.s the americans are able to upgrade it to a value of 300 billion and
00:07:10.080 then also be able to export their west texas intermediate internationally to meet strategic goals
00:07:15.920 that just seems to be like a mutually beneficial partnership and so the more the americans want to
00:07:21.600 export the more they'd be looking at canada to be able to backfill to keep prices low and stable for
00:07:27.200 consumers and so that i think is something that the the presidency under is beginning to understand
00:07:32.480 very well certainly the interior secretary doug burgum and energy the energy secretary chris wright
00:07:38.320 understand that very well and so we're looking to see if we can normalize our our partnership so that
00:07:43.760 we can get into talking about what those new pipelines might look like not only would we be able to
00:07:48.800 have i think a bitumen heavy oil pipeline that would link our heavy oil to the heavy oil refining
00:07:54.240 capacity in in the u.s gulf coast but also the opportunity for us to continue to provide additional
00:08:01.360 supply of gas so that it can feed the some of the european markets we think that there's a an equal
00:08:06.720 partnership there all right thanks for watching thank you for subscribing special thanks to those of
