Transcript
00:00:00.000
this is an observation from experience in these separation issues it is often advanced
00:00:07.040
that vote for this and we will strengthen your our hand in a future negotiation that is a very
00:00:12.320
dangerous bluff that is a very dangerous bluff is 50 plus one enough no it is not is 50 plus one
00:00:19.120
enough no it is not all right everybody we're out here on the road in beautiful central alberta
00:00:27.600
pj got the missus with me hey everyone and uh there's been a lot going on in alberta as usual
00:00:34.480
um after the announcement from premier danielle smith which i personally found disappointing
00:00:41.120
uh there's been a whole lot going on in this province ever since politics uh nationally
00:00:48.080
has been all about alberta separation because there is a referendum that is going to be on the
00:00:53.120
october uh 19th ballot regarding alberta independence unfortunately it's not a binding
00:01:00.880
referendum which is what made me be disappointed in the premier's decision uh some people argue
00:01:08.160
that that's a good thing their argument is that um we have more time to convince more people
00:01:15.200
um i i just believe that the premier is kicking the uh the can down the road that's where i'm at
00:01:21.120
i've heard the argument i've listened because it's people who support independence who argue
00:01:25.760
that it's not necessarily people from the other side it's people who support independence that
00:01:29.680
say that that might be a good thing to give it more time to try to win this referendum and though
00:01:34.320
i agree that we got to win this referendum even if it's non-binding it'll send a strong message
00:01:39.920
and obviously to lead to the binding referendum i think the premier is again just taking the easy
00:01:46.160
way out here and i'm playing the middle and choosing not to call it binding one when she could
00:01:51.760
yeah yeah i agree i was disappointed with it too and i wasn't surprised though that's what i expected
00:01:59.040
her to do to be honest you did say it yeah yeah i did tell you that i wasn't surprised um unfortunately
00:02:05.760
i don't believe she is for independence she's still kind of playing the middle with everything
00:02:10.240
but i don't think she's pro-independence and she's said it herself a million times
00:02:14.480
that she wants us to stay in this communist country so you know now i want to be clear
00:02:20.400
i support alberta remaining in canada that is how i would vote on separation in a provincial
00:02:25.920
referendum yeah that's what it is some people say that well if she didn't want us to have a
0.58
00:02:30.560
referendum she would just shut it down not so easy it's not as simple as that she knows
00:02:36.080
even her the president of her party of the ucp has indicated that they're aware of the fact
00:02:41.920
that the majority of the membership of the party is pro-independence yeah exactly politicians know
00:02:47.520
like especially in a place like alberta where we like the previous premier was ousted for not
00:02:54.960
keeping his word for being a conservative in name only pretending like he cared about the people
00:03:01.040
and not really executing and keeping his word so she knows she knows that she can't just i'm
00:03:06.400
going to shut this down and she can't just do that she can't so that that's the reality here
00:03:11.680
is not that she's necessarily being benevolent uh politicians will politic like someone said
00:03:17.040
in the comments in the comments the other day yeah she's been a politician she's trying to play the
00:03:21.600
middle um i give her credit we're due when she does positive things but i think she could have
00:03:26.240
called the referendum and she took the easy way out trying not to offend those who will never vote
00:03:32.240
for her people on the left they'll never vote for her but she doesn't want to offend them so that's
00:03:37.040
that's just what happens right was not a great move oh i was gonna say did you hear about what
00:03:43.440
happened with mark carney that he was caught on a hot mic moment apparently saying that
0.98
00:03:47.920
that Alberta independence is stupid and Danielle should have shut it down.
0.95
00:04:17.920
So I got, I mean, I think that the headlines.
0.99
00:04:22.660
Apparently the guy was caught talking to one of his ministers.
00:04:27.120
I think he was doing some sort of housing announcement or something like that.
00:04:30.900
And he was having a conversation, I think with the housing minister.
00:04:35.880
And like the media is always recording and it's like he forgot that the media is always recording
00:04:40.820
and there's hot mics all the time and stuff like that.
1.00
00:04:43.240
And he was caught saying something along the lines of like, oh, it's stupid.
0.99
00:04:47.060
you got an off-ramp, just take the off-ramp, like, why are you insisting in this thing?
1.00
00:04:53.720
And the media later on, of course, asked him about it, and he was playing the fool.
0.95
00:04:58.300
He was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
0.98
00:05:01.660
It's got nothing to do with that, and then he dropped a word salad.
00:05:05.220
Yeah, Prime Minister, I'm hoping you can clarify some remarks that you made after the scrum on Monday.
00:05:10.680
When you were leaving the press conference, you spoke with Minister Robertson,
00:05:15.640
what are you doing this is stupid you've got an offer and take it that to me
0.99
00:05:20.080
sounds like you're talking about Daniel Smith and the Alberta referendum I was
1.00
00:05:23.500
talking to Minister Robertson can you clarify what you were discussing in that
00:05:27.880
point in time because the scrum was about what the Smith was about Minister Robertson
00:05:33.100
look I have I think if I'm gonna I'm gonna take your question about the
00:05:42.520
relationship with canada and alberta canada and the federal government and uh and the provinces
00:05:47.260
oh i didn't say it yeah you didn't say it to the cameras that you didn't you didn't know the
00:05:52.600
cameras were on that's why you told the truth for once yeah yeah and then he also said apparently
00:05:58.900
that the 50 plus one voting for independence is not enough and won't result in alberta separation
00:06:12.240
And I would just recommend that you read the Clarity Act.
00:06:15.360
Not surprisingly, the Clarity Act is very clear.
00:06:18.040
And there's a series of conditions, which I responded in the House for the rectum.
00:06:26.600
Canada is not going to negotiate in good faith.
00:06:29.160
The whole Clarity Act thing, the Supreme Court decision, which happened after the two Quebec referendums,
00:06:35.860
they needed to bring clarity into the situation of secession and separation of a province from Canada.
00:06:40.660
And they created this law, right, like this, some sort of roadmap for everything.
00:06:48.580
It indicates the Clarity Act that upon a successful referendum, the province,
00:06:54.320
the province that wants to separate has to enter negotiations with the federal government
00:07:00.080
and then consultation with first nations and all of that needs to happen but i've always said that
00:07:06.480
alberta is going to have a hard time getting good faith negotiations from canada from ottawa
00:07:12.240
the federal government yeah the only places that might give some good faith to alberta which
00:07:18.720
they're doing it right now even in the possibility of a referendum is really saskatchewan and maybe
00:07:24.620
the yukon or i don't even think the northwest territories but the the two places mainly
00:07:30.420
saskatchewan being the ally of alberta the real ally um scott moe when you look at the press
00:07:36.760
conference that they had recently in kind of naskins scott moe was the one that said hey i'm
00:07:40.800
not going to tell albertans what to choose i'm no i'm nobody to lecture albertans that's their
00:07:44.940
choice to make and then you have the guy from manitoba and the other loser from bc uh talking
0.97
00:07:52.220
about this is dangerous and you should never allow it and this is ridiculous and blah blah blah
00:07:57.740
that a unified canada is what enables all of the work that we want to do together
00:08:03.100
to build a strong economy to build the kind of country that we want in the absence of a unified
00:08:07.900
Canada. We will be poorer. We will not be as successful. We will give comfort to people who
00:08:16.480
want to break up our country and sell it for parts. I'd like to respond. So I think we know that
0.69
00:08:24.140
that is not correct. A lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith. Specifically, and we spoke
00:08:29.940
about this so I don't mind repeating this. It is not up to the petition gatherers to fulfill the
00:08:36.360
duty to consult it is up to you as the alberta government to fulfill the duty to consult and in
00:08:42.260
this case when there is clearly going to be an impact on well-established existing hunting and
00:08:48.080
fishing rights by putting up an international border if some would have their way the judge
00:08:53.840
ruled and i would agree with the judge's ruling that that is going to infringe on rights you think
00:08:58.460
you're getting albertans to not choose you're actually pushing more of us to be even more
00:09:03.580
determined to do it when you're so entitled so again they're not long story short they're not
00:09:09.580
going to negotiate in good faith i don't count on that i think the way alberta is going to obtain
00:09:14.400
is independence it's not necessarily going to be through negotiations like that like canada saying
00:09:19.100
oh sure this is acceptable terms you go ahead and you be a country now no it's going to go the way
00:09:24.560
of international recognition i've said that ad nauseum it's going to go the way of international
00:09:29.720
recognition probably by the way of the united states saying you know what we recognize the
00:09:35.440
referendum result we recognize the will of albertans and we recognize them as a state we
00:09:41.700
acknowledge their statehood like nationhood and when that happens i've always said what is canada
00:09:48.520
really going to do what is official canada ottawa what are they going to do when the united states
00:09:53.440
especially under donald trump offers international recognition say in 2027 or 2028 just before
00:09:59.640
trump leaves office offers international recognition to albert they're not going to do
00:10:04.200
anything it's going to go the way of taiwan uh for those of you who don't know taiwan
00:10:08.040
is a small island just south of china china claims it as its own but it's taiwan has received
00:10:15.140
international recognition from other countries including the u.s and basically protects it from
00:10:21.040
china in one way or another uh and it doesn't matter how much china thinks that taiwan belongs
00:10:27.360
to it taiwan is a nation and people know that right it's a country and it's just how it is
00:10:32.400
exactly yeah carney also thinks we're bluffing apparently he thinks our whole movement is a
00:10:38.080
giant bluff you surprised about that that he thinks we're bluffing no he's arrogant so i wouldn't put
00:10:44.880
it past him to think that we're bluffing this is an observation from experience um in these
00:10:50.560
separation issues it is often advanced that vote for this and it's a free option vote for this and
00:10:58.800
we will strengthen your our hand in a future negotiation that is a very dangerous bluff
00:11:03.580
that is a very dangerous bluff yeah he was talking apparently supposedly talking about how the uh
00:11:10.500
like brexit was a a bluff too that backfired or whatever and a lot of people will argue that
00:11:17.660
brexit is a negative thing but the uk like the uk has been doing better yeah since they exited the
00:11:25.980
european union the european union as a whole is worse off than it was when the uk was a part of
00:11:33.720
it and the uk is better off it's just the uk is not necessarily doing amazing but they'd be doing
00:11:40.100
they'd be doing worse if they were a part of the eu yeah and the reason why it is not doing as good
00:11:45.100
as it possibly could is because you got people like keir starmer running the show in there
0.81
00:11:49.680
importing the third world and pretty much turning the united kingdom into a third world country
0.52
00:11:55.160
it's it's like it's not like don't threaten us with a good time look they pretend to not care
00:12:02.960
they've been pretending to not care about alberta separating for forever mark carney has been trying
00:12:07.940
to keep a poker face but it just shows every now and then you just see him angry when he gets
00:12:12.200
gets asked a question about alberta leaving confederation and you can see he just disdains
00:12:18.500
the question he hates it um they can pretend all they want they're all worried they're all worried
00:12:23.800
i think the most sincere person uh nationally when it comes to the alberta separation conversation
00:12:29.320
was the premier of the yukon i believe it was he said look if alberta separates we're screwed
00:12:36.060
yeah like i mean they will have a really tough time i don't think i'll be able i'll ever be able
00:12:41.680
to recuperate to recover from alberta separating and that's the reality and they know that but
00:12:48.260
it's like a an abusive husband he doesn't recognize what he's doing to his wife he doesn't
00:12:55.880
recognize the damage that is and harm that is causing to her until he's about to lose her
00:13:02.320
exactly yeah you you know you just b word you b word you're not gonna go anywhere i don't even
00:13:08.400
care leave whatever and then when he realizes she's leaving or that she could get better somewhere
00:13:13.520
else the guy goes like oh no please don't leave me you know it's just this toxic relationship
00:13:18.800
right yeah but we don't even get that that part because we're told oh you know you're just not
00:13:24.780
leaving god please stay please let's work it out we'll give you some concessions and stuff they're
00:13:30.320
pretending to do that i don't think that it's happening but we don't even get that that courtesy
0.98
00:13:35.360
that quebec got when they were trying to leave oh please we love you stay in our country yeah we
0.98
00:13:40.980
don't get any of that we're just complaining whiners apparently over here it's just like
0.97
00:13:45.200
quebec yeah like with quebec which a lot of people argue that they never meant to separate they used
00:13:50.880
it as a bluff they used it as a bargaining chip as a bargaining chip to get as many concessions
00:13:56.940
out of Ottawa as possible you just got to look at the economic reality economically alberta
00:14:01.380
is a contributor to the cofers to the to the budget right Quebec is really a
00:14:07.440
drain Quebec is a deficit to the country if Quebec left financially speaking
00:14:14.040
Canada would actually be better off yeah like we would have a more balanced
00:14:18.240
budget if Quebec left because they're I'm talking economically be that as it
00:14:22.620
may whatever reason it is that they're doing they're they're a deficit the
00:14:27.180
point of the fact of the matter is that they are a deficit and Alberta is a
00:14:31.200
a surplus a net contributor heavily so some people say that they're just you know they're
00:14:37.060
bluffing they're they're just trying to get as many concessions as possible and to be fair they
00:14:41.160
did yeah quebec is the along with ontario a province that gets three guaranteed supreme
00:14:48.180
court justices they get a lot more seats in parliament than alberta does they also get to
00:14:53.800
make their own laws they're like a mini country they just got to make it official at this point
00:14:57.940
so a lot of people say they're bluffing you know albertans are not albertans who want independence
00:15:04.180
they actually like we actually want to separate because we genuinely believe that alberta would
00:15:09.300
be better off not only economically which is a given but politically and societally speaking
00:15:15.620
in every aspect we could control our immigration have a better society um lower lower crime uh
00:15:23.220
higher employment levels uh way of life better exactly protecting cowboy culture uh without by
00:15:31.640
avoiding importing people who won't adapt to the local culture and want respected protecting english
00:15:37.080
you know english no woke bs english would be the official language the only one wouldn't have to
00:15:42.380
cater to a province halfway across the country uh that speaks french and we have to put both
00:15:47.180
you know a million reasons so again uh but albertans are not we're not bluffing here man
00:15:52.880
like we actually believe genuinely that we will be better off as an independent nation.
00:15:58.480
Yeah and our intention is to leave, we're not trying to bluff. I did hear though the future
00:16:04.800
premier of Quebec Paul St Pierre was saying that Carney stepped out of line calling the referendum
00:16:11.280
a bluff. Your reaction since Daniel Smith announced that she'll start the process for a future and
00:16:18.080
potential referendum how do you react about this uh what's happening in alberta i'm surprised
00:16:25.120
at what carney said i think the premier of alberta daniel smith is just doing her job as a premier
00:16:32.880
saying that of course they are free to consult their population and of course they're a parliament
00:16:38.080
free of making any laws so for mark carney to all of a sudden start saying that it's a bluff
00:16:44.960
it's dangerous i think it's really out of out of line and i'm not sure where that is heading but i
00:16:50.480
guess we do have some support over at quebec for our movement well i'm not surprised he would say
00:16:56.800
that uh carney did step out of line and again it shows the disdain the bad faith uh that he already
00:17:04.080
has we're not even in we haven't even entered negotiations or anything like that and he is
00:17:10.480
already dealing in bad faith already talking about you have condescending is right 50 plus one is
0.99
00:17:17.120
not enough it's a stupid movement you have an off-ramp premier smith take it um you know you're
0.98
00:17:24.320
not alberta would be alberta's not going anywhere uh it's a bluff and you guys shouldn't do it
0.99
00:17:31.520
brexit is a disaster and alberta would just be a disaster just like brexit he's saying a million
00:17:36.720
things like that um and he thinks that that's effective at getting people to not support it
00:17:42.280
the more he opens his mouth the more he keeps yakking about alberta uh being worse off separating
00:17:48.380
the more reason people want to support it especially given the fact that a majority of
00:17:53.900
people in alberta voted against him in the last election so another thing is that just shows that
00:17:59.560
the mou the piece of paper that's all that it is there's nothing else on there that that's just a
00:18:05.780
bunch of garbage like it's just a piece of paper to get people to think there's some progress
1.00
00:18:10.540
happening when in the background we already know what he thinks he thinks our movement's stupid
1.00
00:18:14.820
he thinks it's a bluff it's not going to happen so the mou was just a paper to get us to be quiet
0.97
00:18:20.420
probably it's it's not worth the paper it is written on people know it in alberta that's why
00:18:27.500
danielle got booed at her own agm last year and she's probably gonna get booed again if she still
0.95
00:18:33.620
got the job because a lot of people are coming for her job there's a lot of drama going on out
0.90
00:18:38.320
here in alberta man like yeah people are coming for her job she might get kennied she might get
00:18:43.560
kennied and for those of you who don't know the reference jason kenny is the premier the previous
00:18:49.320
premier of alberta who got ousted like i said for being a conservative in name only the guy
0.88
00:18:55.060
imposed vaccine mandates and and lockdown stuff and then was a hypocrite because he was celebrating
0.63
00:19:01.660
and partying at a rooftop party without a mask and without anything while albertans were forced
0.99
00:19:08.020
to be locked down and rules for the not for me exactly just the biggest hypocrite people can't
0.94
00:19:13.400
stand the guy in alberta we just can't stand him and and he's now one of the federalists we've got
00:19:19.060
to stay in canada and all that um she exactly but anyway thank you guys so much for watching
