00:00:00.000 Hey, you bunch of fucking separatist wackos. 1.00
00:00:03.880 How you doing? Feeling good about yourselves? 1.00
00:00:06.180 You're an embarrassment to this country. 0.98
00:00:07.920 I think the idea of separating is just a crackpot idea. 0.95
00:00:11.580 To become a landlocked province with no coastal access,
00:00:14.300 losing all of our trade agreements, having to build our own military.
00:00:18.260 54? This is what we think of you.
00:00:21.320 You're garbage like that. 1.00
00:00:23.600 Oh boy. 1.00
00:00:25.640 The enemies of Alberta independence are out in full force today.
00:00:28.860 They sound a little pissed about the whole thing, don't they?
00:00:32.720 But hey, I told you this was coming, didn't I?
00:00:36.160 The more they realize Albertans are not bluffing
00:00:38.720 and that we're serious about pursuing our freedom,
00:00:41.380 the more unhinged they'll become.
00:00:44.200 Expect worse to come from those people. 0.92
00:00:46.700 I know I do.
00:00:47.460 I'm an Albertan and I unequivocally reject the idea of separation.
00:00:59.980 Why won't Danielle Smith say the same? 0.99
00:01:03.940 Hey, Alberta. 1.00
00:01:05.280 Hey, you bunch of fucking separatist wackos. 1.00
00:01:08.980 How you doing? Feeling good about yourselves? 1.00
00:01:11.200 You're an embarrassment to this country. 0.99
00:01:12.700 Everything you have, everything that you have enjoyed, 1.00
00:01:17.220 cherished, and benefited from
00:01:19.840 comes from being part of one of the greatest countries on the planet. 1.00
00:01:24.880 You guys have your heads so far up your asses 0.99
00:01:27.460 that you obviously can't see what pricks you are. 1.00
00:01:30.860 The way you are treating indigenous people, 0.99
00:01:33.560 the way you are treating your fellow citizens,
00:01:37.800 your fellow Canadians, 1.00
00:01:38.580 you guys are a bunch of creepy little pricks. 0.99
00:01:43.460 Alberta will never separate from Canada. 0.98
00:01:46.080 It's never going to happen
00:01:47.140 because people like me are going to stand up,
00:01:50.160 throw their shoulders back, 1.00
00:01:51.420 and keep fucking yelling 1.00
00:01:53.100 and keep standing up for what I know is right. 0.99
00:01:58.120 And what you guys are doing is...
00:02:01.580 Well, someone forgot to take her medication today. 1.00
00:02:05.340 Anyway, this is why I believe public shaming
00:02:08.260 should make a comeback in our society.
00:02:10.620 I mean, the potty mouth on this broad,
00:02:13.620 and at her age,
00:02:15.300 this woman could easily be somebody's grandma.
00:02:17.920 Who am I kidding?
00:02:18.480 She's probably the town's lonely cat lady. 1.00
00:02:20.160 But still, what are you, like 65, 70 years old?
00:02:24.680 And here you are talking like you're some high school girl
00:02:27.200 struggling with puberty?
00:02:29.320 Seriously, we should all shame people who don't act their age. 1.00
00:02:32.740 The world would be a better place for it.
00:02:35.780 Now, let's dig for the half argument she made somewhere 1.00
00:02:39.180 within that hate-filled, profanity-ridden rant.
00:02:42.780 She's saying Albertans should be grateful
00:02:44.580 for what Canada does for us, right?
00:02:46.960 Well, I guess we should be thankful
00:02:49.120 for having billions of dollars taken from our province
00:02:51.840 every year to subsidize the rest of the country,
00:02:55.220 while that same country blocks our ability
00:02:57.680 to generate the wealth they feel entitled to take from us.
00:03:00.360 Yes, we should absolutely thank you all for that.
00:03:04.740 Not to mention the fact that Alberta
00:03:06.300 is grossly underrepresented in Parliament,
00:03:09.440 the Senate, and the Supreme Court.
00:03:11.720 But hey, it's all good, and we should be thankful.
00:03:15.360 The irony of this whole thing is
00:03:17.420 how she says Alberta is never going to separate,
00:03:20.840 while at the same time insulting Albertans. 0.91
00:03:23.600 That's just how entitled and delusional these creatures are. 0.91
00:03:26.940 Keep it coming, though. 1.00
00:03:29.000 Every time one of you opens your filthy mouth, 0.99
00:03:31.680 the more signatures we collect for Alberta separation. 0.98
00:03:34.820 We also passed a law that will allow
00:03:37.000 referendum on separation.
00:03:39.700 Alberta businesses' leaders say that
00:03:41.720 even talking about separation
00:03:43.200 is scaring away potential investment.
00:03:45.320 At Atko's annual shareholders' meeting,
00:03:47.880 the energy company's leadership team
00:03:49.440 spoke at length about first-quarter headwinds
00:03:51.980 like tariffs and the unpredictable market.
00:03:54.680 Atko's CEO says the threat of Alberta separation
00:03:57.340 may be the biggest problem.
00:03:59.460 She believes such talk makes it hard
00:04:01.060 to convince international partners
00:04:02.780 to invest in large-scale energy projects
00:04:05.060 here in Alberta.
00:04:05.660 If we're going to have a separate province,
00:04:10.220 are our Japanese partners or our South Korean partners
00:04:13.960 wanting to invest in a multibillion-dollar plant
00:04:17.500 in the heart of Alberta
00:04:19.320 and say, well, what are the rules going to be?
00:04:21.440 Who's going to trade with this?
00:04:22.580 How do we get to Tidewater?
00:04:23.860 How do we get our product to our country?
00:04:26.360 They are very concerned.
00:04:29.420 She says she is optimistic
00:04:31.740 about some of the new faces in Ottawa,
00:04:34.180 especially the prime minister,
00:04:36.100 who she believes has an economic record
00:04:39.480 that proves he can help Canada
00:04:41.560 become the energy superpower that it's hoping to be.
00:04:44.620 Follow the money.
00:04:47.460 That's what you have to do
00:04:48.620 every time one of these CEOs
00:04:50.160 comes out against something
00:04:51.520 they have zero knowledge about.
00:04:53.640 Her company, Atko,
00:04:55.580 receives multiple federal grants
00:04:57.720 from the Canadian government.
00:04:59.420 No wonder she wants to keep things 1.00
00:05:00.960 the way they are.
00:05:02.200 It works for her
00:05:03.140 and her company,
00:05:04.860 even if it doesn't work
00:05:05.980 for everyday Albertans.
00:05:07.860 Interesting how she says
00:05:08.940 she's optimistic
00:05:09.880 about Mark Carney's economic record.
00:05:12.700 The British will have something 1.00
00:05:13.920 to say about that.
00:05:18.420 A rallying cry from First Nations chiefs
00:05:21.600 as they fight Alberta's separation.
00:05:24.100 Hundreds coming together
00:05:25.460 at the steps of the legislature
00:05:27.140 Thursday afternoon
00:05:28.620 to deliver a united no.
00:05:31.340 I want to respectfully remind the premier
00:05:35.540 that this land that we stand on today
00:05:37.800 is treaty land
00:05:38.720 and is not yours to take
00:05:40.420 or make sweeping decisions about.
00:05:42.840 This is a violation of our treaty,
00:05:45.480 a threat to peace and friendship
00:05:47.100 we agreed upon.
00:05:48.620 Earlier in the day,
00:05:49.620 the Onion Lake Cree Nation
00:05:51.160 told the world
00:05:52.100 they are taking it to the courts.
00:05:53.880 This is based on precedent.
00:05:56.160 This is based on the constitutional section
00:05:58.220 that we do have those Aboriginal rights
00:06:00.560 and they precede the Constitution.
00:06:03.440 Onion Lake first announced intentions
00:06:05.300 to sue in 2022,
00:06:06.860 but its legal team says
00:06:09.060 that process was stayed
00:06:10.620 pending an election
00:06:11.960 and a hope that Alberta
00:06:13.760 would have a change of heart.
00:06:15.480 Honorable Ms. Smith.
00:06:16.460 For some,
00:06:17.900 those hopes died late Wednesday
00:06:19.540 with the passing of Bill 54.
00:06:21.800 Once in effect,
00:06:22.960 it will lower the number of signatures
00:06:24.740 needed to trigger a referendum,
00:06:27.140 including one on separation,
00:06:29.180 from about 600,000 Albertans
00:06:31.180 to 177,000.
00:06:35.180 The chiefs were clear
00:06:36.120 they want Bill 54 scrap.
00:06:38.320 As Chief Tuckeroa stated, 0.99
00:06:40.320 it's garbage. 1.00
00:06:41.560 Alberta's Indigenous Relations Minister 1.00
00:06:43.580 acknowledged the chief's fierce objections
00:06:45.880 to Bill 54.
00:06:47.780 Later, Rick Wilson joined his caucus mates
00:06:50.360 in voting for an amended version
00:06:52.620 which says no referendum
00:06:54.560 will violate treaty rights.
00:06:56.820 I've become great friends with them
00:06:58.180 and to understand
00:07:00.640 that they're hurting right now,
00:07:02.420 it makes me hurt
00:07:04.220 and I want to work with them.
00:07:05.820 But this chief says
00:07:07.000 the justice minister's
00:07:08.440 last-minute non-derogation clause
00:07:10.980 means nothing to him.
00:07:12.680 People are tired of the rhetoric.
00:07:15.640 They're tired of the direction
00:07:17.340 where we can see it going,
00:07:19.500 you know,
00:07:19.820 and not being included
00:07:21.380 in some of those discussions,
00:07:22.540 you know,
00:07:23.520 we feel like we're second-class citizens
00:07:25.800 in our own country.
00:07:27.340 This is why you never capitulate
00:07:29.220 to people who have their own agendas.
00:07:31.600 The Alberta government
00:07:32.640 added an amendment to the law
00:07:34.260 to reassure the Indigenous leaders
00:07:36.360 that the treaties will be respected
00:07:37.960 by an independent Alberta
00:07:39.680 after a referendum,
00:07:40.700 which wasn't even necessary
00:07:42.580 because the Supreme Court
00:07:43.900 already ruled
00:07:44.840 that First Nations
00:07:46.000 are supposed to get a seat
00:07:47.140 at the table
00:07:47.680 during independence negotiations.
00:07:49.680 But they clearly don't care.
00:07:51.700 They know who signs their paychecks
00:07:53.140 and that's all they're worried about.
00:07:55.240 Alberta's premier says
00:07:56.320 she wants the province 0.99
00:07:57.360 to stay in Canada
00:07:58.640 but will respect the results
00:08:00.360 of a referendum.
00:08:01.300 You know what,
00:08:02.060 I think, though,
00:08:02.920 if you want a meaning relationship
00:08:04.600 that she has to repeal that bill. 0.99
00:08:09.200 To quote a line
00:08:10.400 from the treaties,
00:08:11.360 chiefs are resolute.
00:08:13.100 They will oppose separation
00:08:14.640 as long as the sun shines,
00:08:16.940 the grass grows,
00:08:18.120 and the rivers flow.
00:08:20.520 Alberta
00:08:21.000 or any other province out there
00:08:22.620 can't separate from Canada.
00:08:24.440 It's Indigenous land.
00:08:26.080 It's our land.
00:08:26.640 It's unconstitutional.
00:08:29.800 First of all, my guy,
00:08:31.320 I appreciate everything you're doing
00:08:33.280 at Frog Lake First Nation
00:08:35.460 exposing the corruption.
00:08:37.660 But we gotta get real here.
00:08:39.500 Indigenous land rights
00:08:40.440 don't tie Alberta to Canada.
00:08:42.520 They exist regardless
00:08:43.500 of what flag flies over the territory.
00:08:46.480 If Alberta separated tomorrow,
00:08:48.080 treaties wouldn't vanish
00:08:49.160 and Indigenous sovereignty
00:08:50.540 would still be recognized.
00:08:52.480 In fact,
00:08:53.160 a sovereign Alberta
00:08:54.020 could offer more direct partnership
00:08:56.120 with First Nations
00:08:57.200 than Ottawa ever has.
00:08:59.360 Let's not pretend
00:09:00.320 the federal government
00:09:01.220 has been some shining example
00:09:02.940 of Indigenous respect.
00:09:04.780 It's been the opposite.
00:09:06.460 Sovereignty for Alberta
00:09:07.600 doesn't erase Indigenous rights.
00:09:10.100 It opens the door
00:09:11.160 for a better,
00:09:12.620 more accountable relationship.
00:09:15.440 And before everybody spouts off,
00:09:18.240 this guy has no clue
00:09:19.340 who's what he's talking about. 0.97
00:09:21.140 He's just some white guy.
00:09:23.960 Yeah.
00:09:24.840 Have a great day.
00:09:26.120 All right.
00:09:26.760 Thanks for watching.
00:09:27.900 Thank you for subscribing.
00:09:29.340 Special thanks to those of you
00:09:30.560 who have donated to this project.
00:09:32.340 It is much appreciated
00:09:33.580 and it helps me continue making videos.
00:09:36.140 See you on the next one.
00:09:37.380 Peace.
