In a country that desperately needs a win, the attacks are now coming from the woke premier of British Columbia, David Eby, who s decided that Alberta doesn t get to access his coast to export the oil and gas all in the name of the climate scam green agenda.
00:00:00.000Right now, the province of BC, the premier of BC, is not a threat to the pipeline project of the premier of Alberta, because there is no pipeline project.
00:00:11.320Well, I can tell you that Albertans are questioning whether Canada works, and I'm not telling anything you don't know.
00:00:18.580There's a very active group that thinks Canada's broken.
00:00:22.020And so I suppose I could just go down to the United States and start working with American counterparts to see if we can build more pipelines.
00:00:29.680They've expressed an interest in restarting the Keystone XL.
00:00:32.700So, Premier, why not just pick up the phone and call Washington?
00:00:36.660Why waste your time making the case for Alberta energy to a country that has never appreciated it?
00:00:42.760This is where things get very interesting.
00:00:45.540You see, Alberta is speaking in non-certain terms at this point.
00:00:49.780This country, that is Canada, either works or it doesn't.
00:00:53.940And if British Columbia is going to attack Albertans and our industries for wanting access to market, then what's the point in being a part of this country?
00:01:05.560Alberta should just look south at a neighbor who's actually wanting to work with us for a change.
00:01:21.380Looks like Canada has gone back to its old ways of blocking and undermining any efforts for Alberta to develop our energy resources.
00:01:31.080In a country that desperately needs a win, the attacks are now coming from the woke premier of British Columbia, David Eby,
00:01:42.000who's decided that Alberta doesn't get to access his coast to export the oil and gas, all in the name of the climate scam green agenda.
00:01:53.580We'll be covering this and Alberta's reaction to it all in today's report.
00:01:58.400But before we start, do me a favor, hit the like and subscribe button if you support these videos.
00:02:04.780Thank you. And let's get back to the report.
00:02:07.360A significant piece of the B.C. economy, a significant aspect of the social license we have to deliver major projects like that and projects that are coming is the support of communities up and down our amazing coast here in British Columbia.
00:02:20.980And so if you want to put that goodwill at risk, if you want to threaten these projects and say, you know,
00:02:27.740we know that your goodwill and your support is dependent on a tanker ban, that the fishing grounds that you count on, the tourism you count on,
00:02:35.520the lifestyle that you enjoy as a coastal community member, that it's protected by the tanker ban.
00:02:41.380If we want to say we're going to get rid of that tanker ban and we're going to go after your way of life,
00:02:48.240let's at least make sure that the conversation is about a real project.
00:02:53.100Right now, the province of B.C., the premier of B.C. is not a threat to the pipeline project of the premier of Alberta because there is no pipeline project.
00:03:04.020There is a public relations department. There is a crown corporation with 14 million dollars.
00:03:12.540The only way currently that that project is going forward is with tens of billions of dollars of public money.
00:03:19.980And if this is, in fact, another another multibillion dollar federally funded Alberta project,
00:03:27.680then where is the multibillion dollar federally funded project in British Columbia?
00:03:32.300The irony in this whole thing is that this guy is trying to frame his argument around blaming Alberta for the liberal government
00:03:39.740having to fund the Trans Mountain pipeline, which was finally completed, I believe, last year.
00:03:47.140What it doesn't understand or is willfully ignoring is that the feds had to jump in and fund this project
00:03:56.220because their destructive anti-energy policies made it nearly impossible.
00:04:02.300for the private sector to move ahead with the construction of the pipeline.
00:04:08.140Liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau created an environment that was so hostile to energy development
00:04:16.180that the original private sector proponent pulled out of the project altogether
00:04:22.820and the feds ended up having to buy it from them.
00:04:27.140And now a pipeline that was only supposed to cost around five and a half billion dollars
00:04:33.960ended up costing around thirty four billion dollars.
00:04:50.420Now, but of course, David Eby knows this, but it will lie to his people like the professional politician that he is.
00:04:57.240What he fails to realize is that Albertans have zero patience for people playing games, whether in Ottawa or Vancouver.
00:05:07.240Well, I can tell you that Albertans are questioning whether Canada works and I'm not telling anything you don't know.
00:05:15.060There's a very active group that thinks Canada's broken.
00:05:18.680And so I suppose I could just go down to the United States and start working with American counterparts to see if we can build more pipelines.
00:05:26.420They've expressed an interest in restarting the Keystone XL.
00:05:29.140And I suppose we could maybe sell another million or two million barrels a day additional to the United States.
00:05:33.720But I believed the premiers and I believed the prime minister when they said they wanted us to work like a country,
00:05:38.480that they wanted us to open new markets.
