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.
00:00:16.100
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
00:00:35.560
And I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to this,
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,
00:00:55.400
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.
00:01:39.480
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
00:04:58.400
