PJ The Belt - Canada RAMPS UP Army Presence in Alberta as Referendum Looms

00:00:00.000 The Canadian Forces base in Suffield, Alberta, will see an increase in activity this summer.

00:00:04.500 According to the acting commander at CFP Suffield,

00:00:07.000 the size of the base and infrastructure is bringing back interest for increased military use.

00:00:12.860 Oh boy, here we go.

00:00:16.100 The timing on this one couldn't be more interesting.

00:00:20.580 I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not going to lie to you.

00:00:24.400 I'm not surprised because this is exactly the kind of thing

00:00:28.500 that will start happening as Alberta gets closer and closer

00:00:32.240 to an official independence referendum.

00:00:35.560 And I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to this,

00:00:38.700 but I'm going to say it again.

00:00:40.500 Ottawa and the Liberals will do anything and everything

00:00:44.260 to make sure Alberta does not walk away from this mess 0.67

00:00:48.160 because they know that the second Alberta leaves,

00:00:51.520 the Canadian economy falls apart completely.

00:00:55.400 This country doesn't survive without Alberta. Now, look at what just happened. Canada announces it's doubling its army presence right here in Alberta. Now, they're not saying this has anything to do with independence in the referendum. Of course, they're not.

00:01:13.600 But come on, the timing, seriously, while signatures are being collected, while volunteers are out there in the cold, day after day, while this movement keeps building momentum, suddenly, more military presence? Really?

00:01:34.760 Oh, yeah. Well, there's talk about Alberta separating.

00:01:37.900 That won't happen.

00:01:38.720 What was that about?

00:01:39.480 it won't happen um people some people are frustrated uh but they you know there's some

00:01:45.540 legitimate frustrations but at the end of the day Canada's going to be united and Albertans I'm born

00:01:51.540 and raised Alberta and Albertans are seriously patriotic very patriotic yeah and at the same

00:01:57.540 time you've got the federal media machine working overtime attacking the movement mocking it trying

00:02:05.980 to discredit it, anything to make it look like it isn't real or legitimate. So this is the article

00:02:12.900 right here titled, Canadian Army Plans to Boost Activity at Alberta's Massive CFB Soffield.

00:02:20.860 And this was as of yesterday, March 26. A sprawling military base in southern Alberta can expect to

00:02:28.820 see more activity this summer, says the commander of the Canadian Army. Lieutenant General Michael

00:02:35.540 Wright told an audience at a defense trade show Thursday that Canadian Forces-based

00:02:40.720 Sawfield, the country's largest training area, will be used increasingly as a testing

00:02:46.740 hub for new technology and for increased training.

00:02:51.320 Quote, Sawfield is a training base that we have not used very much over the past 10 or

00:02:56.040 11 years, but in an agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom, we're going to be

00:03:02.020 starting to use it increasingly this summer end quote set right at the defense airspace and

00:03:08.300 security exhibition of western canada i i think look um the real problem here is if the trump

00:03:16.400 administration has been willing to meet with canadian separatists in secret um which is a

00:03:24.540 clear intervention in our domestic politics we get quite rightly exercised when we see this

00:03:31.080 happening, this kind of interference in our domestic politics from the People's Republic of 0.84

00:03:34.940 China, we should be equally concerned when we see it coming from the United States. 0.99

00:03:39.080 The comments of Secretary Besant demonstrate mischief is at play here. And I would not be,

00:03:45.380 given the way that Donald Trump conducts himself, the least bit surprised if he

00:03:50.140 weighs in heavily on this prospective referendum. I think the government of Canada should be sending

00:03:56.740 very clear signals that that would be a bridge too far to step into an effort to tear apart our

00:04:04.960 country. We could not tolerate that. There would have to be sanctions and an effort to create an

00:04:10.900 alliance like Denmark did very effectively against Trump's threats to invade and annex

00:04:15.340 Greenland. But here's the problem for them. You can't fake momentum like this. You can't fake

00:04:21.520 thousands of people showing up and hundreds of thousands of people signing the petition.

00:04:28.720 So now the question becomes, is this just routine or are we starting to see how far they're willing

00:04:36.500 to go as things get more serious? Because one thing is clear, this is not slowing down.

00:04:44.060 The deadline is coming and the signatures continue coming in. And whether they like it or not,

00:04:50.540 Albertans are pushing this forward so like you I'm left wondering why now why
