00:00:00.000 Northern Gateway Pipeline. Cancelled. Energy East Pipeline. Cancelled. New oil sands expansions. Cancelled. Hundreds of billions in investment capital for new ports, pipelines and projects. All gone.
00:00:16.940 Donald Trump is renewing the call to build the Keystone XL Pipeline. Cam Alberta's Premier says she's on board.
00:00:23.020 Tara, Danielle Smith jumped in right away to support U.S. President Trump's call to resurrect the defunct project. Taking to social media, President Trump called on Calgary-based TC Energy, well, not by name, or another company to return to the U.S. to finish the pipeline that would bring Alberta oil to U.S. refineries.
00:00:42.200 Trump said under his watch, Keystone XL would acquire easy regulatory approvals and an almost immediate start.
00:00:49.980 Danielle Smith took to X to say this project should have never been shelved. Lower costs for American families is a big win.
00:00:57.100 Here's the thing I find irritating about Eastern politicians.
00:01:01.620 The reason I find it irritating is because we could have had Energy East, which would have expanded our ability to support our friends in Eastern Canada and also been an export market off the East Coast.
00:01:15.400 We could have had Northern Gateway, which would have expanded and supported export markets in a more substantial way off the West Coast.
00:01:24.820 And Eastern politicians advocated against those things.
00:01:29.240 And so we went to work on expanding our access to the United States.
00:01:33.420 Looks like the gloves are off.
00:01:35.920 The neglect and sabotage of Alberta and Saskatchewan by Eastern politicians will not be tolerated by Westerners anymore.
00:01:45.660 And this is the hill they're ready to die on.
00:01:48.920 I don't believe Canada will come out of this crisis united.
00:01:52.700 Wexit is only gaining in support, and the prairies are ready to separate and leave the Canadian socialist experiment behind.
00:02:06.400 Danielle Smith isn't exactly whispering anymore. 1.00
00:02:11.060 She's drawn a line in the sand.
00:02:13.420 She went straight after the Eastern politicians whose so-called green policies have bled Alberta's energy industry of billions. 1.00
00:02:21.520 Smith reminded Ottawa that Alberta isn't here to play doormat anymore. 1.00
00:02:28.300 Respect, she says, is no longer optional.
00:02:32.120 And she ain't alone.
00:02:34.040 Saskatchewan's Scott Moll also made it crystal clear.
00:02:38.520 His province isn't about to keep propping up a broken, lopsided system that favors the East at the West's expense.
00:02:46.340 Looks like the prairie premiers have finally found their spines. 0.92
00:02:51.760 Let's dive in.

00:02:56.700 I appreciate it.
00:02:57.660 Which is why Albertans call it an oil and gas production cap.
00:03:02.480 The funny thing about this particular emissions cap, it wasn't imposed on any other type of production.
00:03:07.960 Not on the production of cement, or steel, or aluminum, or any other product mined or manufactured in Canada.
00:03:15.660 Nope, the cap was placed on just one single sector.
00:03:19.240 Oil and gas.
00:03:20.000 You can probably understand why Albertans are mighty unhappy about that.
00:03:24.120 The Conference Board of Canada just released a report concluding that this cap will cost the Alberta economy roughly $1 trillion in lost GDP,
00:03:33.120 150,000 jobs, and $200 billion in provincial revenues by 2050.
00:03:38.980 And the Canadian economy stands to lose even more.
00:03:41.720 The results of these federal anti-energy laws have already been catastrophic to the Canadian economy and our investment reputation around the world.
00:03:50.980 Northern Gateway Pipeline.
00:03:52.820 Cancelled.
00:03:53.840 Energy East Pipeline.
00:03:56.020 Cancelled.
00:03:57.320 New oil sands expansions.
00:03:59.700 Cancelled.
00:04:00.960 Hundreds of billions in investment capital for new ports, pipelines, and projects.
00:04:05.420 All gone.
00:04:07.140 To the United States, the Middle East, and anywhere else but here. 1.00
00:04:11.720 It's so bad, in fact, that in order to complete the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion to Vancouver,
00:04:17.040 Ottawa had to step in and buy the project from a private company that lost billions trying to navigate through all this government red tape,
00:04:24.940 and ended up spending tens of billions of dollars more than initially budgeted due to cost overruns caused by their very own anti-energy legislation.
00:04:33.580 We should all be glad it was finally built, but it should have been the private sector who built it.
00:04:38.860 In any event, all of these laws combined constituted one of the greatest acts of national economic self-harm in our nation's history.
00:04:46.420 No other nation would ever think to phase out its most valuable assets worth tens of trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs for its people.
00:04:54.940 That would be utterly self-destructive.
00:04:57.900 And yet, that is exactly what Canada has done to itself.
00:05:01.160 More and more Albertans, and Westerners in general, have figured it out.
00:05:07.320 Canada's house is a mess, and no one's coming to fix it. 0.99
00:05:11.760 An Albertan-Saskatchewan alliance?
00:05:14.460 Now that could be a powerhouse.
00:05:17.500 Energy rich, economically strong, and standing tall in the world.
00:05:22.260 And, adding the United States factor, President Trump has openly talked about unleashing Western energy for North America's benefit,
00:05:31.260 and even voiced support for Western self-determination.
00:05:35.740 That's not exactly small talk.
00:05:39.040 Texas once did something very similar.
00:05:42.240 First, they became independent, and then they chose to join the United States.
00:05:48.260 The parallels are impossible to ignore.
00:05:51.140 You've also said that you want a pipeline to be in the first wave of the fast-track national projects.
00:05:57.720 The focus right now is getting C5 to work by building the social license, particularly with the national indigenous groups.
00:06:05.700 That seems to be the focus, rather than changing the regulations.
00:06:09.240 It may be the first wave of projects comes out before they do anything with the regulations.
00:06:13.460 Can you live with that?
00:06:14.900 Because I know this has been a real political flashpoint between you and the federal government.
00:06:19.780 And based on what they say about wanting projects that are high chance of success and lots of support,
00:06:26.040 I don't know if a pipeline is going to get there by the fall when it starts.
00:06:28.580 Well, I can tell you that Alberta, as the owner of the resource, we can be one of the guaranteed shippers on that line. 0.53
00:06:35.320 And that's what we did an announcement with Enbridge in January, saying that we're prepared to do that, and we are prepared to do that.
00:06:41.460 And so if we have to help to underwrite a proposal in that way by guaranteeing barrels so that others in the industry are able to have the confidence,
00:06:51.460 that's normally the way pipelines get built, is they line up the producers first.
00:06:54.720 And so the problem that we have is that the producers aren't going to line up as long as there's an emissions cap that would require them to curtail their production.
00:07:01.400 So the sequencing, though, becomes a problem, right, for you and to meet the demands of the letter you sent?
00:07:06.520 Which is why I'm asking for those nine bad laws to be either substantially modified or repealed.
00:07:13.620 I like pipelines, and pipelines in every direction are good things.
00:07:16.460 And I'm glad to see the Americans see how important Alberta and our economy, especially the energy industry, is to the United States.
00:07:22.120 The premier of Alberta isn't just talking tough.
00:07:26.200 She's playing chess.
00:07:27.940 She set down a list of demands to Ottawa, knowing full well that the federal liberals will never deliver.
00:07:35.680 At the same time, she's out hosting town halls, rallying Albertans to the idea of real independence.
00:07:43.500 And when, inevitably, those demands are not met, she'll have the perfect case.
00:07:49.680 Confederation cannot be salvaged.
00:07:53.940 And Alberta deserves to chart its own course. 0.88
00:07:57.960 Looks like she's building a roadmap to freedom. 1.00
00:08:01.460 One broken liberal promise at a time.
