PJ The Belt - Carney Just Showed Alberta His TRUE COLORS..

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

00:04:20.480 Oh yeah, I heard about that.

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

00:05:00.060 I was talking to my minister.

00:05:01.660 It's got nothing to do with that, and then he dropped a word salad.

00:05:04.420 Convenient.

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,

00:05:14.140 and I want to read what you set out. 0.99

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

00:06:06.180 Is 50 plus 1 enough?

00:06:07.800 No, it is not. 0.98

00:06:09.480 For under a Clarity Act, it is absolutely not.

00:06:12.240 And I would just recommend that you read the Clarity Act.

00:06:14.580 It's very clear.

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.

00:06:23.440 Yeah, that's the thing.

00:06:24.860 I've been saying this for months.

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.

00:06:46.560 They are not going to respect that.

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
