00:00:00.480 Ambassador Huckstra said, in essence, it's a compliment if Donald Trump wants Canada on his team.
00:00:06.080 He only works with people he likes.
00:00:07.160 If he wants you to be the 51st state, it means he likes you guys.
00:00:10.180 What do you say to that?
00:00:11.380 About Canadians coming together, I think, obviously, the exception to that would be the conversation that is playing out now in Alberta.
00:00:18.060 And I'm not trying to suggest by any means that it's a majority of Albertans, but there is a secessionist movement there.
00:00:22.800 You're about to find out.
00:00:23.400 And we're closer to the possibility of a referendum.
00:00:25.280 You talked about the government not creating that sense of unity.
00:00:28.580 Hey, everybody.
00:00:30.000 PJ The Belt.
00:00:31.580 Hope you're all having a good day.
00:00:34.240 Today, I'd like to react to a video from the CBC.
00:00:38.660 And I know, don't judge me.
00:00:40.340 I watch the CBC, so you don't have to.
00:00:43.080 But not really.
00:00:44.480 It's an interview having to do with Alberta independence.
00:00:46.980 And as you guys know, I am all about Alberta independence.
00:00:50.280 This interview is with Stephen Guilou, Alberta's favorite liberal French man.
00:00:57.820 He's the radical liberal climate activist that does everything in his power to try to destroy Alberta's energy industry.
00:01:09.380 In this interview, they ask him in regards to Alberta independence and why he thinks that the movement continues to gain in support.
00:01:18.760 Any answers?
00:01:19.720 And we're going to be watching that interview and providing commentary for it, commentary about it.
00:01:24.960 It's always very interesting to see how these people talk about Alberta.
00:01:31.160 This guy in particular, Guilou, is one of the people that hates Alberta the most.
00:01:38.440 He'll ask me, how do I know?
00:01:39.920 Well, he's been one of the people that attacks Alberta the most.
00:01:43.420 Not just our energy industry, but our culture, our way of life, our farmers, everything that makes Alberta what it is.
00:01:55.840 In this video, he talks about how the liberal government has actually been good for the province of Alberta.
00:02:01.860 And how we're all just a bunch of ungrateful rednecks.
00:02:04.800 Let's get into it.
00:02:06.020 Yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump brought back some of his sharpest rhetoric.
00:02:15.920 Canada Day celebrations are coming up tomorrow.
00:02:18.780 And just yesterday, Trump renewed his threats to Canadian sovereignty.
00:02:22.700 The digital service.
00:02:23.400 People don't realize Canada is very nasty to deal with.
00:02:26.020 I love Canada.
00:02:27.720 Frankly, Canada should be the 51st state.
00:02:30.080 Okay, it really should.
00:02:31.420 Because Canada relies entirely on the United States.
00:02:35.220 We don't rely on Canada.
00:02:37.240 That's a fact.
00:02:38.940 Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, welcome back to the program, Minister.
00:02:42.340 Thank you very much.
00:02:43.620 Obviously, you want to start talking about these Canada-U.S. negotiations because they are so front of mind for so many Canadians on the digital services tax.
00:02:51.300 Did Canada get anything in exchange for rescinding this tax?
00:02:54.500 Yeah, nothing.
00:02:54.980 Well, first, people need to understand I'm not part of those group of ministers that are negotiating daily with members of the U.S. administration.
00:03:02.480 God, I dislike this guy.
00:03:07.100 Do you ever feel that way when you see a man or whatever this is?
00:03:11.880 You see him and you just go like, dude, what the hell is wrong with this guy? 0.92
00:03:16.040 You know, just a weasel of a man. 0.87
00:03:19.500 You know, he did a lot of damage.
00:03:21.680 He did a lot of damage, especially to Western Canada and Alberta.
00:03:24.640 A lot of damage was done by this little guy.
00:03:27.380 I think Canadians can see and understand how challenging things are with the current administration.
00:03:34.040 Whether you're Canada, whether you're Europe, whether you're Australia, it doesn't matter.
00:03:38.680 It's a challenging relationship.
00:03:41.080 And I think what the prime minister and the negotiating team are trying to do is to make sure that we come to a good place.
00:03:46.960 And it may be bumpy before we get there, but there's a lot of things that are on the table.
00:03:54.340 And I think looking at one specific element and saying, oh, my goodness, you know, what just happened here and losing sight of the big picture.
00:04:01.600 At that point, you may be aware of the U.S., the White House Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt, said today, Canada caved.
00:04:07.840 Pierre Polyab is out there saying you guys are elbows down.
00:04:10.440 This was a core pitch to Canadians during the last election campaign, right?
00:04:15.520 Elbows up, fighting for Canada.
00:04:18.260 Do you worry that in the minds of Canadians, you've perhaps undermined that pledge?
00:04:22.700 No, I don't.
00:04:23.360 They lied.
00:04:23.940 Again, I think that we will be judged on what the end result will be.
00:04:28.700 Can we make sure that all of those tariffs, whether it's steel, whether it's aluminum, are gone, that we protect Canadian jobs, that we protect the Canadian economy?
00:04:37.600 And I think that's what Canadians will judge us on and not, you know, whether this or that particular aspect of it was in or out of the deal.
00:04:45.960 Donald Trump continues to talk about supply management as a frustration, as a Quebecer, certainly an issue that you're very politically aware of.
00:04:52.660 The U.S. ambassador told us that if that was the only thing holding up a deal, he's pretty sure Mark Carney could find a way to work around the law.
00:05:00.640 The parliament just passed that one put forward by the Bloc Québécois, protecting the supply management sector.
00:05:06.640 Supply management, for those of you who don't know, especially those of you south of the border, because you guys don't have that, you guys have a real free market.
00:05:14.520 Supply management is basically protections for mostly the province of Quebec, surprise, protections for their dairy industry.
00:05:22.400 It also includes poultry and other elements there, but it's mostly for the Quebec dairy industry.
00:05:28.640 And it is so stringent, it is so authoritarian, that recently I read that they arrested a man, a farmer, because he was, I think his chickens were producing excess eggs.
00:05:46.600 And so he was selling it in his neighborhood, he was selling it to his community, and they either fined him or arrested him.
00:05:54.500 And this is nothing new. I made a video about this before, about supply management.
00:05:58.920 You guys can find it. I'm going to put the link below, or I'm going to put the link somewhere here on the screen, where Trump, that's his biggest thing that irritates him the most is the supply management.
00:06:08.680 And honestly, if Trump was able to get rid of that for Canadians, just like the digital services tax, he'll be doing us a major favor.
00:06:16.220 As much as the lefties and those, the communists, there's nothing Trump can do that they won't come up with something to, you know, Trump can cure cancer, and they'll say, hey, you took my right to have cancer.
00:06:27.540 Back in March, we now have a motion that's been adopted by Parliament, both the House and the Senate, on this issue.
00:06:37.920 This is important, not just for Quebec. It's important for many parts of the country, and we will stand by it.
00:06:44.480 And so I just want to be crystal clear about what you are saying there.
00:06:47.460 The ambassador is saying, if it all came down to this, Canada would solve this.
00:06:52.240 And you're saying, if it all came down to this, Canada would stick by the supply management sector?
00:06:56.540 As I said earlier, I'm not part of the negotiating team. I'm not at the negotiating table.
00:07:02.620 What I'm saying is that the Prime Minister has been very clear that supply management is not on the negotiating table.
00:07:08.360 That's what I'm saying.
00:07:09.580 Yeah, you are the minister responsible for Canadian identity, and of course we know that part of this conversation about what's happening with the United States very much sort of touches on that.
00:07:18.260 The ambassador suggested that the Prime Minister had implied this 51st state business was a term of endearment.
00:07:24.200 I suggested that those were perhaps not the words Mark Carney had used, but Ambassador Hoekstra said, in essence, it's a compliment if Donald Trump wants Canada on his team.
00:07:33.660 He only works with people he likes. If he wants you to be the 51st state, it means he likes you guys.
00:07:37.760 What do you say to that?
00:07:38.700 With all due respect to the President of the United States, we've had a long-standing relationship with the United States of America, whether it's economical, whether it's social.
00:07:52.640 I mean, lots of people go to the United States, lots of Americans come here.
00:07:55.940 We have friends there, we have family, vice versa, but we're different.
00:07:59.640 We have, our culture is different. We have two official languages.
00:08:04.240 We value and promote indigenous cultures in this country.
00:08:09.780 We see the world in a very different way.
00:08:11.880 When he says that they see the world differently, yeah, I mean, the United States is an open free market where freedom is more valued.
00:08:19.780 They have the most robust constitution in the world, and in Canada, they jail pastors during COVID.
00:08:26.400 They, you know, froze people's bank accounts for donating to a protest, to a democratic protest.
00:08:35.520 Yeah, they see the world very differently.
00:08:38.460 The United States obtained its independence by fighting the King of Britain.
00:08:43.960 Canada obtained its independence.
00:08:46.420 I don't know how independent Canada is when they're still a monarch.
00:08:49.720 Basically by saying, pretty please, can we have our own flag and our own little constitution?
00:08:56.400 And I hate to say this, it pains me to say this, you know, but that's, that's the reality.
00:09:02.340 You have an elected Senate in the United States.
00:09:05.120 In Canada, it's an appointed Senate, corrupt institution, appointed by the prime minister.
00:09:12.860 In the United States, there's 100 senators, because there's 50 states.
00:09:16.640 And each state, no matter how many people there are, what the population is like, how big, it doesn't matter.
00:09:23.020 Each state gets two senators.
00:09:25.360 Not so in Canada.
00:09:26.680 Take, for example, the Maritimes, New Brunswick.
00:09:30.100 I believe they have 10 senators.
00:09:31.800 They have less than 2 million population.
00:09:33.860 They have 10 senators, 10 appointed senators.
00:09:36.640 Then you take Alberta, 5 million population.
00:09:39.940 We got six senators.
00:09:42.260 Let that sink in.
00:09:43.220 Yes, we view the world very differently.
00:09:46.480 The United States is a lot more pro-freedom, pro-equality under the law.
00:09:52.640 Canada is a place where there's groupthink, and there's, law applies different to different groups.
00:10:00.320 It's also a country of the rule of law, the United States.
00:10:03.660 You commit a crime, you go to jail.
00:10:06.560 In Canada, you commit a crime, and it's, you're out on bail.
00:10:09.860 The victim hasn't healed from whatever you did to them.
00:10:13.900 They're still at the hospital, and you're already out on bail.
00:10:16.820 And I could keep going on and on on the differences.
00:10:19.280 About Canadians coming together.
00:10:20.840 I think, obviously, the exception to that would be the conversation that is playing out now in Alberta.
00:10:25.920 And I'm not trying to suggest by any means that it's a majority of Albertans, but there is a secessionist movement there.
00:10:30.660 You're about to find out.
00:10:31.260 And we are closer to the possibility of a referendum.
00:10:33.000 You talked about the government not creating that sense of unity.
00:10:36.660 Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said that the federal government created the secessionist impulse, the separatist impulse.
00:10:44.380 And because of that, it is your problem to fix.
00:10:47.980 What do you say to her?
00:10:48.740 I think, unfortunately, Premier Smith is acting like a pyroman firefighter.
00:10:55.740 Like, on one side, saying that she's trying to put out the fire, and on the other side, just adding fire to it, adding gas to the fire.
00:11:05.120 It works really well in French.
00:11:06.440 I don't know how well it works in English.
00:11:07.520 Pyromani, it's a pyromaniac.
00:11:09.440 Pyromaniac.
00:11:11.700 Pompier pyromane, we would say in French.
00:11:13.560 The reality is that this federal government and the previous federal government have worked hard to create the best possible conditions for all Canadians.
00:11:24.800 I mean, let me give you an example.
00:11:26.280 She says that we've hurt the Alberta economy.
00:11:29.280 When Prime Minister Trudeau came into power in 2015, Alberta produced about 2.5 million barrels of oil.
00:11:36.060 When Prime Minister Trudeau left, Alberta produced about 4.5 million barrels of oil.
00:11:40.540 So this idea that somehow, because of the Trudeau government, the resource-based economy of Alberta was hurt is simply not factual.
00:11:49.620 Like, the numbers just don't add up.
00:11:52.620 And she can continue saying these things, but it's simply not true.
00:11:56.260 The CBC is just this BS machine.
00:12:00.420 They're just spewing BS all day with our tax dollars.
00:12:05.100 This is why you really have to watch alternative media.
00:12:07.640 It's not that Alberta, it's not that Alberta has to thank Trudeau for growing its production during the time of its government.
00:12:16.280 It's that Alberta was so resilient that despite all the attacks from the liberal government, including big time because of this guy here, Gibault,
00:12:25.780 despite of their efforts to destroy the Alberta energy industry, Alberta still managed to grow.
00:12:32.160 That speaks to the resilience of Alberta and the fight that the government of Alberta has put up against them.
00:12:39.760 They've taken them to court in regards to multiple laws, including C-69, the carbon tax, and a bunch of others, dozens of times.
00:12:48.380 Sometimes they've won, sometimes they lost.
00:12:50.380 It's not that you helped us, you POS.
00:12:55.060 It's that Alberta is so resilient and the spirit of Alberta is so strong that our industry managed to still thrive despite of your efforts to hinder it and destroy it.
