00:00:00.000 Canada is facing a secession movement and it's happening in Alberta, home to Canada's largest
00:00:06.980 oil and gas reserves, an energy powerhouse. Now, petitions are circulating across the
00:00:13.360 province calling for independence. Supporters say Alberta pays more into Canada than it gets back.
00:00:21.360 All of this as Prime Minister Mark Carney tries to manage the trade talks with President Trump.
00:00:27.560 Ladies and gentlemen, this is huge. This is absolutely wild. I mean, Alberta independence
00:00:34.480 just took over the entire country of Canada today and the liberals did not see it coming.
00:00:40.500 This is what everyone in this country is talking about right now. Press conferences, emergency
00:00:46.540 meetings, national meltdowns, you name it. It's all happening and you can see it on their faces.
00:00:53.380 I mean, Mark Carney is furious. The federal liberals, Eastern politicians, they all tried
00:01:00.660 to ignore this movement. They tried to bury it and now they're panicking because they can't.
00:01:06.660 This is not a fringe movement anymore. This has gone mainstream and they're freaking out
00:01:13.060 because they've lost control. Let me show you what's happening in Canada today.
00:01:17.860 Okay. So this crazy Thursday began with a report from the Financial Times where they explain that
00:01:24.220 the Trump administration has held multiple meetings with fringe separatists from the oil rich
00:01:31.500 Canadian province as a rift deepens between Washington and Ottawa. We got a picture of Jeffrey
00:01:38.440 Rath here. They're saying exclusive and a lot of people have called them out on that because
00:01:43.780 this exclusive what multiple independent journalists have reported on this, including myself for months
00:01:51.580 now, almost a year. I started reporting on this, I believe back in May, which is when I started
00:01:56.960 this YouTube channel because they've made it very public. These people are speaking like they've uncovered
00:02:01.940 some secret, some, you know, some conspiracy in the dark that the leadership of the Alberta
00:02:09.340 independence have been carrying out in the dark. This has been very public. They're looking for support
00:02:15.800 for after a successful referendum. Once Albertans decide that they no longer want to be a part of
00:02:22.460 Canada and the yes vote on a referendum wins, then we're going to need international recognition.
00:02:28.200 That is one of the most important elements of creating a new nation, a new country is getting other
00:02:34.100 recognized countries to recognize your nation. But then we had immediate reaction to the news and
00:02:40.020 pushback from Canada's politicians. And one of the first ones to come out and condemn the whole thing
00:02:46.340 is the premier of British Columbia, David Eby, who was throwing the T word around that T word is
00:02:53.720 treason. And he was throwing it all over like to just take and pause a moment. I read an article last
00:02:59.020 night in the Financial Times about a group of people from Alberta. I won't describe them as Albertans
00:03:04.940 who went to the White House. What are you going to describe them as of the United States to break up our 0.88
00:03:10.220 country. Now, I understand the desire to hold a referendum to talk about the issues we want to talk about in
00:03:16.780 Canada. We got free speech. That's important. But to go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up
00:03:23.940 this country. And that word is treason. It is completely inappropriate to seek to weaken Canada, to seek to go
00:03:36.180 and ask for assistance to break up this country from a foreign power and with respect to the president who 0.55
00:03:43.700 has not been particularly respectful of Canada's sovereignty. I'm going to be raising that issue at this table.
00:03:48.740 I think we need to draw the line at people seeking the assistance of foreign countries to break up this
00:03:53.300 beautiful land of ours. They're not looking for assistance to break up Canada. Canada's already broken up.
00:03:59.740 They're looking for assistance in getting recognition for an independent Alberta once we vote to get the hell out of
00:04:05.420 this broken country. And throughout the day, more and more politicians came out pushing back on Alberta
00:04:10.740 independence. Here's Federalist Doug Ford speaking on the matter.
00:04:15.660 And, you know, I'm a little disappointed that they they've done this, but this is an opportunity
00:04:22.100 for Premier Smith to stand up and say enough is enough. Enough is enough of what? It's a perfectly
00:04:29.840 legal process, according to the Constitution. Enough democracy. Enough giving the people of Alberta a voice
00:04:38.420 for a change. Enough of what dog? And either you're with Canada or you're not with Canada.
00:04:44.860 We're with Alberta. I'm with Canada right across the board. And we're with Alberta. And then you have the
00:04:50.100 Aboriginal Chiefs who held a press conference to condemn Alberta independence. Daniel Smith and the UCP
00:04:58.620 government do the right thing and resign. Why? Why? Because from here on in forward, the road is going to get
00:05:09.500 rocky and rough. Daniel Smith has conspired with the separatists to Bill 14. The Premier changed the law
00:05:19.060 after the court told her it was a breach of our treaties to proceed this way.
00:05:22.660 So, Premier Smith and the UCP cabinet, I hope you have your bags packed.
00:05:32.060 Because when this referendum is defeated, I will gladly walk you to the border.
00:05:37.760 But when the referendum is successful, Chief will be happy to welcome you at our border of an
00:05:43.880 independent Alberta. And then you had that other gentleman talking about a court ruling and a
00:05:48.240 decision which was made a few months back saying that the petition was unconstitutional, which makes no sense
00:05:54.700 whatsoever because the Supreme Court has already ruled on this, that provinces in Canada have the legal right
00:06:01.660 and the legal ability to petition for a referendum and even have a referendum on independence.
00:06:08.780 And that if that referendum is successful, then all of Canada must enter negotiations on said referendum on
00:06:17.000 independence. There are many First Nations Albertans who support Alberta independence because they know
00:06:23.040 that an independent Alberta would be more willing to negotiate in good faith with First Nations as
00:06:29.120 opposed to the way Canada has treated them for hundreds of years. And we have this tweet from Rob Schneider,
00:06:35.460 one of my favorite comedians, not only because of his comedy, which is great, very funny, but also because of his
00:06:42.020 politics. The guy is a man of common sense. And he reposted this video of Calgary's super successful
00:06:49.400 independence rally from last Monday. This right here is the reason they're freaking out. The momentum
00:06:56.100 is palpable and they know it. Look at the crowds. That's what they're worried about. That right there is what
00:07:09.100 they're worried about. This is why they're coming out. This is why they're on full attack mode. They're
00:07:21.180 worried. Look at the crowd. Look at the crowd. And he keeps going in the back. Look. That's why they're worried.
00:07:32.980 Nearly 5,000 people in a winter night in Alberta's biggest city of Calgary. Biggest indoor rally of
00:07:47.960 any political movement in this province. And here's yet another reason why they're really worried. This
00:07:53.780 is not only happening in Calgary. This is happening all over Alberta, even in small towns. Got a tweet
00:08:00.020 here from Freedom Honey where he shows an anti-Alberta independence group called Reboot Alberta where
00:08:08.560 they post and they say, I just passed a local hotel that is having a signing to separate from Canada
00:08:16.020 and it's packed. It's causing traffic issues. It's very disheartening. Amanda says, you have the reactions
00:08:25.740 right there. You can see sad faces, angry faces. Some people probably trolling them. Some thumbs up.
00:08:32.320 They know this is getting real. They know the momentum is palpable. They know the enthusiasm is
00:08:38.520 undeniable. So they're having to go on the attack mode. At the beginning, they were trying to ignore
00:08:44.480 us. They were trying to just dismiss them. There's just a bunch of redneck Albertans. But they're now 1.00
00:08:50.280 realizing that minorities, people like myself who aren't white, First Nations, people of all colors,
00:08:57.300 all backgrounds, all ages are coming to the fold and joining the Alberta independence train.
00:09:03.220 And they're worried, sick. They're panicking. You can see it on their faces. This is why they're
00:09:09.360 going full attack mode. The attacks are only going to get worse and worse as we get closer to referendum
00:09:15.320 day. This movement has also been gathering international attention from our friends south
00:09:20.500 of the border. We have a tweet here with a short clip from Real America's Voice where they talk about
00:09:26.180 Alberta independence. Let's watch. First of all, thank you guys for coming on the show this morning.
00:09:30.620 I appreciate it. A lot of our viewers are watching this story as it doesn't get enough media attention
00:09:38.980 here, but I'm glad we're talking about it. But is it time, guys, to make Alberta great again?
00:09:45.320 It's always time to make Alberta great again. In many ways, it is the greatest of the provinces.
00:09:50.580 I'm a bit biased. I was born there. Yes, it is.
00:09:52.540 So let me give your viewers a few facts they may not know. Unlike the United States, which fought a war
00:09:57.440 over secession in Canada, it's actually legal. The Supreme Court has outlined a process that if there
00:10:03.940 is a clear question in a referendum that has a clear majority, it's legal.
00:10:09.560 Legal. Remember, Quebec tried to do that several times. The second thing to know is that the petition,
00:10:16.460 you mentioned the petitions, that's actually a formal legal process. If these petition gatherers
00:10:22.980 can get, I think it's 177,000 names calling for the referendum, it will happen. And I know you showed
00:10:30.240 some footage of thousands of people meeting to sign those petitions. So I think it's very likely that
00:10:35.880 they will meet that threshold. And then it's coming down to a counterpoint. And we haven't really seen
00:10:40.360 one start in earnest yet. Should Alberta be independent? 0.88
00:10:44.460 It is absolutely. I can tell you that having worked in Alberta's oil and gas industry, it's,
00:10:49.320 we fuel the country and they reap the rewards. But it was set up that way from inception.
00:10:55.500 Alberta did not have our own access to natural resource rights until the 1930s.
00:11:00.940 That's true. Eastern Canada set up the West as a resource colony. And Albertans, quite frankly,
00:11:06.880 are sick and tired of it. We're tired of paying the bills for the rest of the country.
00:11:10.380 That's it. And I'm going to leave you guys with this thought. They're calling Albertans who support
00:11:14.660 independence Alberta patriots. They're calling us traitors, right? They're saying it's treason.
00:11:20.160 However, Quebec did the exact same thing in pursuing their independence. They had delegates go to the
00:11:25.620 United States to shore up support, potentially a future recognition upon a successful referendum.
00:11:32.440 Nobody ever called them that, at least not to the extent and with the intensity that Albertans are
00:11:37.880 being attacked. They were actually, many of them were being begged to stay a part of Canada, even
00:11:43.600 though Quebec is really a drained on Canada's resources. And we as Albertans would know that
00:11:48.980 because we contribute the most to equalization and Quebec consumes the most from equalization.
00:11:54.780 So that's what's happening in Canada today. Alberta independence is the talk of the town
00:11:59.660 and the attacks are coming from every angle. But Alberta patriots keep pushing forward and keep
00:12:06.180 working. Well, thank you for watching. If you want to continue to get updates on this story and not
