00:00:26.380But what he's really saying, because I know a lot of the guys in charge of the Albertan separatist movement or their prosperity movement, Alberta, they've already met twice now with the State Department.
00:00:36.640The Albertans are ready to vote in the next six months.
00:00:39.260They're getting out of the Canadian Union.
00:00:41.340They're going to become an independent state, independent country.
00:00:44.080We're going to recognize them, and that's going to put them on the pathway to becoming the 51st state.
00:00:49.160This is one of those moments where you don't know whether to get mad at the guy or thank him, because he's making the job of Alberta independence supporters a lot easier.
00:00:58.260I mean, Mark Carney is easily the most effective advocate for Alberta to separate from Canada.
00:01:04.840And that's a lot to say, considering the fact that his predecessor was Justin Trudeau.
00:01:10.280If I'm Donald Trump and I genuinely have ambitions to expand the American empire, to bring forth manifest destiny, if you will, I'd be incredibly happy to see the way Carney's treating Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:01:24.480I'd be celebrating it. I mean, because I know that it will make it a lot easier to convince Albertans to want to join the USA with a real constitution, equal treatment under the law, and unlimited access to the largest economy in the world.
00:01:39.240and plus i get to incorporate a new state or territory with massive wealth and conservative
00:01:45.320values just north of montana i mean come on kevin o'leary talking about donald trump
00:01:51.720expressing his desire to make canada the 51st state but he was really talking about alberta
00:01:57.680because of its wealth of energy very quickly do me a favor and double check if you're still
00:02:03.700subscribed to the channel i know some of you have complained that youtube has been unsubscribing
00:02:08.580some of you so please double check if you're still subscribe if you are thank you so much
00:02:12.840i appreciate it who's got the lowest cost power in north america right now alberta canada six
00:02:18.380trillion cubes of stranded natural gas unlimited resources there nobody has anything like that and
00:02:26.020i think that's why you heard trump talk about turning alberta into a state he knows what they
00:02:30.540have they're not going to agree to do that but the country's loaded with that kind of power
00:02:34.620both electrical nuclear and gas and oil look kevin's got a point
00:02:38.580When he says that Donald Trump doesn't really mean all of Canada, when he talks about the 51st state, maybe playing games and stuff, he doesn't want all of Canada be just a California with a lot of land, you know, it'll almost certainly vote Democrat.
00:02:55.060But Alberta, on the other hand, that's a completely different story. This is a land with massive wealth, energy-wise, and also minerals, rare earth minerals. It would be a conservative state.
00:03:09.980But if Alberta became independent and either joined the U.S. as a state or stayed independent and created an association with America, become the closest allies and have complete and open free trade, it's a completely different story.
00:03:26.900It would change North America significantly and massively.
00:03:29.960Look, in my opinion, Mark Carney is pushing Alberta closer and closer to the United States.
00:03:35.400Every time he ignores the concerns of Albertans,
00:04:29.400We did, in Article 3210 of the KUSMA, agree to essentially say that if Canada wanted to enter into a trade agreement, a free trade agreement with a non-market economy, we would have to give all of our parties, but really, let's be frank, we're talking about the United States, notice, and they would be able to get out.
00:04:46.740The United States, since that time, they would probably think of strengthening the language that they would use in some of the other agreements they've since signed.
00:04:54.920So the way that that's being portrayed by Mr. Cartier in his speech, I think it seemed a little disingenuous to me, to be honest, given that we have 3210 already in Kuzma.
00:05:03.540We'll have to see exactly the text and the language that was being proposed.
00:05:06.880But the basic concept, though, I think you and I have talked about this before.
00:05:11.500You know, if you look at the European Union, when I got out of law school, it was called the European Communities.
00:05:17.300And at a certain point in time, roughly around the same amount of time, interesting enough, between when we had the NAFTA and now, the bigger parties in that arrangement said, guys, we've got to actually firm this up a bit.
00:05:30.180We can't have you guys doing your own, your own, your own, going your own way.
00:05:34.040And they strengthen their customs union.
00:05:35.420So although we look at it differently in Canada, it's not so extraordinary, I would say, that a bigger party would say, now that I'm facing more competition from China, I want you guys, in return for this market access to the world's biggest market, I want you to do more.
