When Trump says Canada is going to be the 51st state, he's really talking about Alberta. Alberta has a bevy of untapped rare earth minerals, the world's largest geothermal energy sources, and some of the largest natural gas and oil deposits. They have a gateway to the Arctic, and that's important because that's a gateway into the Arctic. And they have the lowest cost power in North America right now.

00:00:00.000 Go ahead. We're getting Alberta is the linchpin. So when Trump says Canada is going to be the 51st
00:00:05.120 state, he's speaking, you know, he's vamping, he's having a little fun. But what he's really
00:00:10.280 saying, because I know a lot of the guys in charge of the Albertan separatist movement or their
00:00:14.640 prosperity movement, Alberta, they've already met twice now with the State Department.
00:00:19.640 The Albertans are ready to vote in the next six months. They're getting out of the Canadian Union.
00:00:24.320 They're going to become an independent state, independent country. We're going to recognize
00:00:27.740 them. And that's going to put them on the pathway to becoming the 51st state. And here's why that's
00:00:32.940 important. Alberta has a bevy of untapped rare earth minerals. They have the world's largest
00:00:38.840 geothermal energy sources. They have the world, some of the world's largest natural gas and oil
00:00:44.680 deposits. So when Trump says Canada is becoming the 51st state, he's really talking about Alberta.
00:00:49.820 And that's important because that's a gateway to the Arctic. This is one of those moments where you
00:00:54.540 don't know whether to get mad at the guy or thank him, because he's making the job of Alberta
00:00:59.340 independence supporters a lot easier. I mean, Mark Carney's easily the most effective advocate
00:01:05.820 for Alberta to separate from Canada. And that's a lot to say, considering the fact that his predecessor
00:01:12.080 was Justin Trudeau. If I'm Donald Trump, and I genuinely have ambitions to expand the American
00:01:19.560 empire to bring forth manifest destiny, if you will, I'd be incredibly happy to see the way
00:01:26.540 Carney's treating Alberta and Saskatchewan. I'd be celebrating it. I mean, because I know that it
00:01:32.200 will make it a lot easier to convince Albertans to want to join the USA with a real constitution,
00:01:38.800 equal treatment under the law, and unlimited access to the largest economy in the world.
00:01:43.900 And plus, I get to incorporate a new state or territory with massive wealth and conservative
00:01:50.160 values just north of Montana. I mean, come on. There's this video on Twitter put up by Steve
00:01:56.760 Bannon, former Trump advisor, where they talk about how the Alberta independence movement would be
00:02:04.080 reshaping North America, particularly if Alberta decided after obtaining its independence from Canada
00:02:11.320 to join the United States. Let's have a listen.
00:02:14.820 President Trump's argument to Canada is, and they've just kind of blew it off, but when he talks
00:02:18.920 about defense, what he's making the point on the Arctic is that Canada is kind of like Ukraine,
00:02:25.720 right? The Chinese and the Russians are up there, and they see the undefended northern territories of 0.95
00:02:30.340 Canada. They're going to take a bite. The Canadians got to understand something.
00:02:34.020 They already are.
00:02:34.580 They're going to intrude in your territory, and they're going to dare you to do anything about it,
00:02:38.880 and you're going to turn to Big Brother. Go ahead.
00:02:41.220 We're getting Alberta is the linchpin. So when Trump says Canada is becoming the 50s first state,
00:02:46.580 he's really talking about Alberta, and that's important because that's a gateway to the Arctic.
00:02:51.580 Greenland is another gateway to the Arctic. So when we talk about hemispheric defense,
00:02:55.860 we're not just talking about Latin America. We're talking about the polar regions too, Steve,
00:03:00.000 and how they all link together.
00:03:01.700 Governor Kevin O'Leary talking about Donald Trump expressing his desire to make Canada the 51st state,
00:03:09.440 but he was really talking about Alberta because of its wealth of energy.
00:03:15.460 Very quickly, do me a favor and double check if you're still subscribed to the channel. I know some
00:03:19.480 of you have complained that YouTube has been unsubscribing. Some of you, so please double check
00:03:25.280 if you're still subscribed. If you are, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Make sure to press the bell icon,
00:03:29.900 which we'll send you a notification every time we upload a new report. Thank you.
00:03:34.420 And who's got the lowest cost power in North America right now? Alberta, Canada.
00:03:39.460 Six trillion cubes of stranded natural gas. Unlimited resources there. Nobody has anything like that,
00:03:47.680 and I think that's why you heard Trump talk about turning Alberta into a state. He knows what they
00:03:52.680 have. They're not going to agree to do that, but the country's loaded with that kind of power,
00:03:57.020 both electrical, nuclear, and gas and oil. Look, Kevin's got a point when he says that Donald Trump
00:04:03.080 doesn't really mean all of Canada when he talks about the 51st state, maybe playing games and stuff.
00:04:09.120 He doesn't want all of Canada. It'd be just a California with a lot of land, you know. It'll
00:04:16.800 almost certainly vote Democrat. But Alberta, on the other hand, that's a completely different story. 1.00
00:04:23.220 This is a land with massive wealth, energy-wise, and also minerals, rare earth minerals. And it would
00:04:34.900 be a conservative state. But if Alberta became independent and either joined the U.S. as a state
00:04:42.940 or stayed independent and created an association with America, become the closest allies, and have
00:04:50.820 complete and open free trade, it's a completely different story. It would change North America
00:04:56.800 significantly and massively. Look, in my opinion, Mark Carney's pushing Alberta closer and closer to
00:05:03.260 the United States. Every time he ignores the concerns of Albertans, every time he ridicules the
00:05:09.200 premier, every missed opportunity to treat Albertans with respect, opens the door to Alberta further
00:05:15.980 integrating into the American economy as a result. I mean, it's always been easier for Albertans to
00:05:21.960 negotiate with Americans than with the rest of Canada. So why not just go all the way, you know?
00:05:28.020 Carney is certainly pushing the province in that direction. Here's what I mean. Here's a recent
00:05:34.040 article from the Calgary Herald titled, Alberta gets diddly squat from Carney, Danielle Smith, soldiers on.
00:05:42.420 Pipelines ditching anti-Alberta and anti-oil patch federal laws. Carney lets Albertans stew in our own
00:05:52.080 outrage. Completely disrespecting the province. Where's the party? Where's the pipeline? Where's the big win
00:06:00.440 for Alberta on Grey Cup week? Yes, it wasn't supposed to be this way. And since I'm not negotiating with
00:06:07.240 Prime Minister Mark Carney and his liberals, I can cut through the crap. We were told many times by 0.99
00:06:12.620 Premier Danielle Smith how she had a deadline for Carney to meet. She wanted Carney to put a 0.99
00:06:18.320 bitumen pipeline to the West Coast on his list of nation building projects to be fast tracked for the
00:06:25.160 green light. She also demanded the Liberal Prime Minister scrapped or seriously make over anti-oil patch
00:06:34.560 laws brought in by the Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:06:40.000 And the clock would run out on those demands come Grey Cup week. That was the understanding of most
00:06:45.920 Albertans. It's Grey Cup week. Well, that was last week. This article is as of November 13th.
00:06:54.320 Albertans didn't score a touchdown and didn't kick a field goal in this big game of real world politics.
00:07:01.040 Alberta didn't even manage to punt the ball into the end zone and squeeze out a single point. 1.00
00:07:07.520 At least not yet. Nope, Alberta got nothing. Shut out. A goose egg. Oh, other places did well.
00:07:15.240 Carney put three BC, British Columbia, projects on his favored list and it didn't take long for BC Premier
00:07:22.720 to stick it to Alberta and Premier Smith. Quote, it is no surprise to me there is no heavy oil pipeline
00:07:31.360 on the list. It is a figment of a communications person's mind in Alberta, says Eby. So this is why I
00:07:39.680 say that Mark Carney is one of the biggest proponents, biggest advocates for Alberta independence. The way he
00:07:46.640 continues to treat the people of Alberta is a reminder as to why we need to get the hell out of
00:07:53.340 Canada as soon as possible. Hey, if you've made it this far, thank you so much for watching. If you'd
