00:00:00.000 oh boy this is big this is very big i mean you have canada's cia saying
00:00:13.520 that they're worried about foreign interference foreign interference when it comes to alberta
00:00:20.880 and quebec sovereignty you guys are going to want to watch this one so the canadian cia or the
00:00:27.440 canadian equivalent of the cia ceases is already painting the alberta independence movement
00:00:34.320 as something more than what it actually is a large group of albertans who are tired of seeing their
00:00:41.520 province being taken advantage of by laurentian canada and the liberal government tired of seeing
00:00:48.720 their province disrespected and taken for granted in a system which was designed to keep things
00:00:54.880 that way for the benefit of eastern canada and the detriment of alberta as well as saskatchewan
00:01:02.640 you see they're already creating this narrative that this is all a foreign campaign to divide
00:01:11.360 canadians not the result of decades and decades of unfair corrupt governance now why would they do
00:01:19.840 that really why i got my theories to control the narrative from the beginning to justify spying
00:01:27.440 on their own citizens to undermine and discredit the movement i could go on and on but you already know
00:01:34.320 the story title of this article from the cbc canada's propaganda network css braces for possible foreign
00:01:45.200 interference as alberta and quebec i sovereignty manipulation of information could be a problem
00:01:52.880 says the head of the spy agency manipulation from who
00:02:01.040 with canada facing not one but two possible sovereignty referendums in the coming years
00:02:06.160 the head of the country's spy agency is bracing for the possibility that foreign adversaries could
00:02:12.800 tried to could try to meddle in them interesting interesting that he would say that before we even have
00:02:23.600 a date for the referendum i told you guys on this channel many times before that there ain't a single
00:02:30.880 thing that the federal government there isn't a single thing that the feds won't do 0.90
00:02:38.880 that the feds will not do to undermine stifle and hinder this movement they're not going to let the
00:02:46.960 golden goose the cash cow leave without a fight and they're worried about it notice that even in the in
00:02:54.320 the title of this it says alberta first for the longest time quebec has been threatening to leave
00:03:02.080 you know and they're more worried about alberta leaving it is not because of oh the alphabet or
00:03:08.720 something alberta independence is getting a lot more attention than the quebec sovereignty i have my ideas
00:03:16.480 as to why they know when albertans say we want to leave we mean it we don't necessarily want concessions
00:03:23.200 although obviously we'll take them if they come our way but albertans like myself who are determined
00:03:30.480 to see their their province become an independent nation because we know we'd be better we'd be much
00:03:36.080 better off in that situation than the one we're currently in we don't care so much for
00:03:44.160 concessions we know there ain't a single thing canada can give alberta that is better than what alberta
00:03:49.920 could give itself becoming an independent nation so that is in my opinion why they're worried about
00:03:57.600 alberta independence more than quebec independence also quebec leaving would actually be a net positive
00:04:05.840 financially speaking for canada alberta leaving would be the end of canada financially
00:04:13.680 the article continues quote we definitely have to be attentive to the possibility of information
00:04:20.320 operations or interference again from who from who dan rogers director of the canadian security
00:04:27.920 intelligence service ceces told cbc's power and politics on thursday rogers was responding to
00:04:34.960 questions about the prospect of referendums in both alberta and quebec on the issue of independence and
00:04:40.960 emerging concerns that foreign adversaries could see them as fertile ground to interfere with a g7 country
00:04:51.600 i'm probably gonna make this an anti-trump thing an orange man bad thing you know elbows up thing you
00:05:00.160 know the americans are enemies not china not you know not uh other adversaries no it's it's it's the us
00:05:11.200 literally our closest ally country that in my opinion is the reason we haven't been haven't been invaded
00:05:18.320 by china in our north because the canadian military is in shambles it's literally because
00:05:25.040 of norad which is mostly provided by the united states that china hasn't invaded our north there's not a
00:05:33.760 whole lot of defense up there but yeah the americans are enemies according to the cbc and other government
00:05:42.400 paid prostitute media anyway the article continues he says he said cis doesn't have a role
00:05:51.120 in quote canadians exercising their opinion end quote but agreed the manipulation of information could be a
00:05:57.520 vulnerability roger says any time foreign adversaries seek to divide canadians and amplify certain
00:06:04.800 narratives is a concern for the spy agency that's going to be the angle they're going to take
00:06:12.000 to spy on on on the alberta independence movement and and the people pushing it forward watch watch the
00:06:20.560 next 12 months as the referendum approaches quote our core job is looking at threats to the security
00:06:28.960 of canada which includes foreign interference he said we have to position ourselves to be able
00:06:35.360 to identify those intentions and actions by foreign states the sovereignty's party quebecois pushing
00:06:43.680 forward with a plan to hold a referendum if it forms government in next year's election the party has
00:06:49.280 launched two referendums on quebec sovereignty in 1980 and 1995 and lost both yeah but second one in 1995
00:06:57.840 they very nearly won it very nearly wanted it was nearly 50 50 50.5 to 49.5 something along those lines
00:07:07.280 don't quote me on it but i know it was very very close and there was a lot of influence from the
00:07:12.800 federal government um according to the party quebecois leader saint-pierre plamondon who so far
00:07:20.480 is leading in public opinion polling has promised to hold a third referendum by 2030 if his
00:07:27.440 delivered a win by voters alberta is also in the throes of a heated debate on whether it should
00:07:35.920 separate earlier this year premier danielle smith government reduced the number of required
00:07:41.600 signatures to hold a referendum in the province yeah she made it a little bit easier when it comes to
00:07:49.840 the attainability just how attainable it is to get the amount of signatures he was a
00:07:54.880 an unsurmountable unsurmountable amount before in a very short period of time now it is a more
00:08:03.440 achievable target number of signatures in more time
00:08:08.960 smith has said she wants a sovereign alberta to stay within canada but also says there is a growing
00:08:15.040 number of albertans who are unhappy with confederation unhappy is an understatement
00:08:19.200 most albertans who support independence are simply done with canada i don't happy we're well i guess
00:08:26.080 unhappy is one of the one of the words i would put it as done we're done with canada it's just there's
00:08:34.320 there's no saving it anymore we're not interested if you go back long enough um
00:08:41.360 um preston manning which was one of the leaders of seeking western representation
00:08:51.360 in canada within canada he used to say the west wants in basically meaning we want a voice in this
00:08:59.040 country because you know saskatchewan alberta manitoba mainly saskatchewan alberta
00:09:05.760 our two provinces that have been used to particularly alberta with our wealth of
00:09:14.080 resources and our hard working culture have been used and abused by eastern canada by the federal
00:09:22.320 government and there's there's been very little representation there was the reform party with
00:09:30.320 preston manning which was seeking to make alberta more relevant at the national level that was the
00:09:38.320 that was the motto was the west wants in but at this point the west wants out we're not interested in
00:09:44.240 negotiating danielle smith may be doing it she may be trying to get some concessions to try to appease 1.00
00:09:51.280 the movement it's not going to happen most of the people i talk to and i am involved in this movement
00:09:59.280 to the extent that i'm involved in talking to people this channel trying to have the conversations
00:10:06.640 and most people who support alberta independence are simply done they're not looking for concessions
00:10:11.680 they're not no we want to separate we know we would be better off as a nation anyway the article continues
00:10:19.920 concerns about foreign adversaries meddling in referendums largely stem from allegations that
00:10:26.640 russia try to interfere in the 2016 brexit referendum that's a good reference that they're bringing up
00:10:33.920 because a lot of people are well that'll never gonna happen and albert will never separate it's
00:10:37.840 never gonna happen that's exactly what they said about brexit and that is exactly what they said about
00:10:43.600 president trump twice he's never gonna win he's not gonna beat kamala harris it's not happening he's
00:10:50.720 gonna be the next president trump showed the world twice and a big example very relevant is brexit brexit
00:11:00.800 wasn't supposed to happen but then it did roger sat down with power politics after delivering his first
00:11:09.440 annual speech in which he warned of both china and russia's significant intelligence interests in the
00:11:16.640 arctic that's what i was talking about earlier if it wasn't because we're neighbors with the americans if
00:11:22.160 if it wasn't because alaska is right there and that's american land we'd probably be speaking chinese up here
00:11:30.800 what if china literally wanted to invade canada i'm sure there's a lot of brave warriors here in our military there's
00:11:39.200 just not enough of them there's a lot of them there's not enough of them all right and they're under
00:11:45.520 equipped underpaid and overworked our federal government has not taken care of our troops
00:11:55.360 our military is in shambles so you better believe the reason why a much bigger power like china who is 1.00
00:12:03.760 interested in the arctic hasn't taken over and invaded canada is because we are next to the most powerful
00:12:11.520 country in the world and we're their ally we're part of nato part of norad don't kid yourself don't think
00:12:20.560 it's out they're afraid of our rangers you know our our northern rangers with their you know their
00:12:26.400 huskies and stuff and no it's because they know america would jump in immediately america's not
00:12:34.160 letting it happen that would literally start world war three so yeah we gotta thank the americans
00:12:43.760 for our defense china he said is seeking an economic foothold in the region while russia's arctic posture
00:12:52.080 remains unpredictable and aggressive china also continues to target canada's sensitive information 0.63
00:12:58.480 yeah they're all in here i made a story about the fact that they're allegedly and reportedly there's
00:13:06.000 already chinese stations or military operations out out in our east coast there's already chinese
00:13:14.400 operations out in prince edward island reportedly so yeah china has a big interest in canada
00:13:21.760 and in controlling canadian interest quote chinese spies have tried to recruit canadians
00:13:29.120 with access to government plans intentions information and military expertise through social media
00:13:36.080 and online job platforms he said that is the end of the article this is big
00:13:44.720 this is a very revealing article talks about what i've been mentioning on this channel before
00:13:53.360 previously the fact that they're gonna get they're gonna try to get ahead of the narrative
00:13:58.000 we're gonna try to make this more than what it actually is they're gonna say this is foreign interference
00:14:03.760 they're gonna say it's the americans it's donald trump all over again and not albertans who are tired
00:14:10.400 no it's not that it's the russians it's the chinese it's the americans this is gonna get
