00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be completely straight with you on this one.
00:00:03.440 Something very serious is going on in Canada right now.
00:00:06.780 And I don't say that lightly because the rumors that we're hearing about the things that were said behind closed doors,
00:00:12.980 they change how we look at the Alberta independence situation.
00:00:16.880 Now, here's the thing. You're not seeing this on the news yet.
00:00:20.080 You're not hearing from politicians talking about it or anything like that because it didn't happen publicly.
00:00:26.480 This happened in private, and the people talking about it, they're all saying the exact same thing.
00:00:31.980 Something was said about just how far the federal government is willing to go to prevent Alberta from separating.
00:00:39.540 Now, think about that for a second, because we've already seen what government going too far looks like here in Canada.
00:00:46.360 People's bank accounts frozen, people put in jail, emergency powers being used illegally.
00:00:52.380 All of this took place not very long ago.
00:00:55.080 so let me ask you something if they were willing to do that to protesters
00:00:59.400 what do you think happens when it's a province trying to become independent
00:01:03.480 and this is where it starts getting serious because at the exact same time we're talking
00:01:17.620 about this there's movement not loud not public but quiet military presence and military exercises
00:01:25.040 increasing here in alberta the canadian forces base in suffield alberta will see an increase in
00:01:30.560 activity this summer according to the acting commander at cfb suffield the size of the base
00:01:35.420 and infrastructure is bringing back interest for increased military use base is being brought back
00:01:41.140 operations expanding and i've talked about this before but now the timing feels very different
00:01:46.600 So you got to ask yourself, is that just a coincidence or what's really going on here?
00:01:51.900 And then you start hearing other things, claims about foreign security from China, of all places, showing up in Alberta's oil patch.
00:02:01.000 Heavily armed guards, just sit with that for a second, because now you've got federal pressure, military movement, and a foreign presence all building in the exact same place at the exact same time, right as Alberta's pushing toward a referendum vote.
00:02:16.160 And if you think this is all just noise, look at what's already happened.
00:02:20.300 The Stay Free Alberta petitioners say they have already collected 178,000 signatures supporting Alberta separatism.
00:02:28.040 That's the amount needed to trigger a referendum.
00:02:30.700 But now an Alberta judge has put the signature validation process on pause.
00:02:35.020 This comes after a trio of First Nations took the petition to court, looking for it to be rendered void,
00:02:40.680 arguing it infringes on their treaty rights.
00:02:43.300 Now, this decision is not a pause on the collection of signatures.
00:02:46.160 It impacts what comes after that.
00:02:48.000 But the petitioners have until May 2nd to get those signatures into Elections Alberta for validation.
00:02:53.900 After a failed attempt to get the two sides to agree to a pause, the judge has issued one herself for one month,
00:02:59.420 while she takes the time to make her final decision about whether the petition should be shut down beyond that.
00:03:04.780 The courts have already stepped in and blocked the delivery of petition signatures.
00:03:10.140 So it's not just talk anymore.
00:03:11.300 The process itself is being slowed down, interfered with, and maybe even stopped.
00:03:17.180 So now ask yourself, if the vote can't go through, but the pressure keeps building, what happens next?
00:03:22.920 Alberta independence leader warns of looming court challenge and that there could be a forthcoming injunction that will take away your legal right to canvas out there.
00:03:32.660 I think it's true that we're concerned about it, and I think it's true that, you know, that we would like people to be campaigning and gathering signatures, and we would like all of our canvassers to be gathering signatures like we're 100,000 signatures behind.
00:03:47.740 But that having been said, we want people to, you know, people that care about a free and independent Alberta, you know, we want you to get out and work and knock on doors and collect signatures.
00:03:57.740 And we want people to sign the petition as if the future lives of their children and grandchildren depend on it because they do.
00:04:06.080 And this is where I need you to really pay attention, because now there are claims coming out from inside the independence movement, not random people.
00:04:14.340 some of the leadership actually saying that they got a call from someone who was actually there
00:04:20.080 at the private visit there were no cameras no press and when Carney was asked what he would do
00:04:25.460 if Alberta moved forward with independence this is what he allegedly said um you know I'm going
00:04:31.300 through my emails and messages from you know from my office staff and I see this one message from
00:04:35.500 one of our staff saying hey this person from Hamilton wanting to talk to you about Mark Carney
00:04:41.080 saying that he's going to invoke the Emergencies Act in the face of Alberta independence.
00:04:45.460 So this tweet is from Jeffrey Rath, one of the leaders of the Alberta independence movement,
00:04:49.100 and it goes breaking. I just received a call from a Stelco employee in Hamilton, Ontario.
00:04:55.640 That person advised me that it was present when Mark Carney visited the Stelco still plan in
00:05:00.640 Hamilton, Ontario on March 29th, 2026. They advised that when Mark Carney was asked what he
00:05:07.540 would do in the face of an Alberta independence vote, Mark Carney replied that, quote, there will
00:05:12.560 be no Alberta independence because I'll invoke the Emergencies Act. This was not reported by any
00:05:19.640 mainstream media outlet who were present. It demonstrates that Mark Carney has zero respect
00:05:24.320 for the rule of law, the Constitution of Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada, or the Parliament
00:05:29.660 of Canada. This should surprise no one. Now, listen, that's an alleged account. But if that's
00:05:35.980 even partially true that's not politics anymore that's a real thread of force and if that's the
00:05:42.040 mindset behind the scenes then alberta's in a lot more than a political fight right now
00:05:46.440 it's in the crosshairs and here's what makes this even bigger this doesn't stay inside canada well
00:05:52.920 alberta is a wealth of natural resources but they they won't let them build a pipeline
00:05:58.680 And to the Pacific, I think we should let them come down into the U.S.
00:06:05.940 And Alberta is a natural partner for the U.S.
00:06:10.060 They have great resources.
00:06:12.080 The Albertans are very independent people.
00:06:16.200 Rumors that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.
00:06:20.640 The United States is watching very closely.
00:06:23.800 Energy, trade, leverage.
00:06:25.480 Alberta is not just another province in this particular situation.
00:06:28.680 it's strategic so now step back and look at everything together pressure inside the country
00:06:35.560 legal interference military movement a foreign presence and now claims that the use of extreme
00:06:42.460 power is on the table so you know i take the number i phoned this person back and had a lengthy
00:06:49.540 conversation with them they seemed extremely credible i mean you know i asked the question
00:06:53.520 three or four different ways in terms of what happened the person pointed out that on the 29th
00:06:57.640 when Carney was touring this plant, CTV was there,
00:07:01.680 other mainstream media was there.
00:07:03.260 This is another one of those events
00:07:04.620 where Rebel News was locked outside of the building
00:07:07.140 they weren't allowed in, right?
00:07:08.700 So you didn't have any real independent media there.
00:07:12.440 And this individual advised me
00:07:14.020 that they were completely shocked when they heard the question,
00:07:17.960 well, what are you gonna do
00:07:18.880 in the face of Alberta independence?
00:07:20.720 And Mark Carney replied,
00:07:21.960 well, in the face of Alberta independence,
00:07:24.840 I'm gonna invoke the Emergencies Act.
00:07:27.280 And this person said, look, I reached out to you because I thought it was important that, you know, that you as a leader of the movement are aware that this is what Mark Carney is thinking and planning and that, you know, that you should be prepared, you know, for any and all contingencies when it comes to Mr. Carney because he doesn't seem, you know, particularly well balanced mentally.
00:07:45.600 So we're all left wondering, how far does this go? And if you're seeing this the same way I do, subscribe because I promise you I will keep you informed every step of the way.
00:07:57.280 It's coming. It's rolling around the bed. And I ain't seen the sunshine. I don't know where.
