Summary

This is a map of North America. At the top of the map are the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. They are the two provinces that have been leading the charge in fighting for Canadian oil and gas exports to the U.S. and have been working to get concessions from the Liberal government in Canada. Now it looks like they are going to get their way.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 We've got Southboat talking about how to use the Keystone assets to build a new pipeline to the U.S.
00:00:03.980 Do they think, does that look like it's going to move?
00:00:06.720 I think that the Americans really want it.
00:00:09.340 Okay, so it looks like Alberta's finally fed up of having to deal with the liberal government in Canada,
00:00:14.340 as well as the woke, crazy government out in British Columbia that won't let us export our resources and our oil and gas.
00:00:21.960 And they're saying, you know what, you won't play ball and we're just going to bypass you altogether.
00:00:26.360 We can't export out of British Columbia, then we'll just go south and we'll do to you what Saskatchewan did with the potash.
00:00:33.440 You wanted the whole potash export terminal out of Vancouver.
00:00:37.220 British Columbia ain't going to happen.
00:00:39.060 We're going to export out of Washington state instead.
00:00:42.760 Because if you don't want our energy and you don't want those jobs that our energy would produce in your province,
00:00:47.600 then we're just going to move on.
00:00:49.480 And it looks like Premier Danielle Smith is going to be negotiating directly with the Americans in both Washington state as well as Oregon.
00:00:59.100 Good on her.
00:01:00.200 Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta had a recent sit down with Rebel News Ezra Levant.
00:01:04.920 And she was talking about pipelines and how the U.S. may be a lot easier to work with than Canada.
00:01:10.760 Let's have a listen.
00:01:11.720 So getting concessions on those two things have already had an immediate impact.
00:01:15.400 We've already heard that Enbridge is talking about expanding their line.
00:01:19.080 We've got Trans Mountain talking about expanding their line.
00:01:22.860 We've got South Bow talking about how to use the Keystone assets to build a new pipeline to the U.S.
00:01:26.540 Does that look like it's going to move?
00:01:29.260 I think that the Americans really want it.
00:01:32.120 All the conversations I've had with the U.S. is that they want to see more Canadian oil going down to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
00:01:37.720 I saw Donald Trump tweeting, saying he wants to retake the oil companies that were nationalized by Hugo Chavez.
00:01:45.360 So I think he's going to topple Venezuela.
00:01:48.180 They're a competitor to Alberta.
00:01:50.360 They are.
00:01:51.380 But, you know, I guess the way I look at it is we're a far more stable partner.
00:01:55.040 We do already have the existing lines.
00:01:56.900 We're responsible for, you know, 4.5 million barrels a day.
00:02:00.600 Most of that going to the United States.
00:02:02.100 A lot of it is the type of heavy oil that their refineries are tooled for.
00:02:07.580 And so it seems to me like why not work with the friend that you have that wants to work with you?
00:02:14.420 And that's the argument that we're making.
00:02:17.260 We've got a lot of friends in the U.S. that are making that argument on our behalf.
00:02:20.620 Well, and that's the reality.
00:02:21.940 That's the thing.
00:02:22.620 It's Alberta, as opposed to the majority of the elbows-up crowd,
00:02:26.840 the dog Fords, the premier of Ontario who had the brilliant idea to run an attack ad
00:02:35.060 against the country that you're trying to negotiate with
00:02:38.140 and, like, 90% of your industries heavily depend on.
00:02:42.080 Genius he is.
00:02:43.360 Not.
00:02:44.240 And then you have British Columbia, the green, crazy, woke, liberal guy,
00:02:50.200 David Eby out in British Columbia who was trying to do the exact same thing
00:02:53.960 until Carney told him, hey, you guys are literally going to destroy the economy
00:02:58.220 and I'm trying to run my grift here for Brookfield, so please don't run any ads.
00:03:05.360 In all this madness, in all this craziness, Alberta and Saskatchewan
00:03:09.900 have been the two adults in the room actually working diplomacy for a change,
00:03:16.860 making diplomacy the priority, realizing that the United States is not only our closest ally,
00:03:22.720 but our biggest trading partner, second to none, and our exports,
00:03:28.840 particularly our natural resources, oil and gas, as well as potash and other minerals,
00:03:33.980 90% of them go to the United States.
00:03:36.740 They're our biggest market and they're our friends.
00:03:40.200 Why would we behave differently, right?
00:03:43.940 So Danielle Smith has been working on diplomacy for a while.
00:03:46.960 She went to Mar-a-Lago.
00:03:47.940 She's met with President Trump multiple times.
00:03:49.760 Same with the Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe, who has also worked on diplomacy.
00:03:55.040 So they, unlike the other woke premiers, they actually have a friendship with the U.S. administration
00:04:01.740 and therefore doors are easier to open for them as opposed to the rest of Canada.
00:04:07.260 And the reason why this is incredibly important is because it is much easier for Alberta
00:04:12.780 to deal with the United States in every sense of the word.
00:04:17.800 It's just factually easier for Alberta to deal with Americans when it comes to energy.
00:04:24.640 This is a map of North America here.
00:04:26.720 At the top, you got Canada, at least the lower provinces, and then you have the U.S. here.
00:04:31.480 Here's a pattern that you can immediately notice.
00:04:35.580 Most pipelines, actually all pipelines that are coming out of Alberta, oil and gas pipelines, go south.
00:04:43.960 Except for one, all of them, except for one, go south of the border.
00:04:49.500 The only one is the most recently built, Trans Mountain, which goes to the ports out in Vancouver area.
00:04:56.900 But all of the other pipelines, they go southeast into Saskatchewan and then Manitoba, and then they go south.
00:05:05.000 Some of them directly south from Alberta.
00:05:08.420 Why? Because it's much easier.
00:05:10.660 Even under Democrat governments, it's still easier to deal with the Americans than it is to deal with the rest of Canada.
00:05:18.020 You think in a country with the third largest oil reserves in the world, which Canada is, thanks to Alberta,
00:05:25.160 you think that there will be pipelines this way, more than one.
00:05:29.340 There will be some to the north, to the Arctic, and there will be at least one or two to the east.
00:05:35.980 But literally, in order for the east end of Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and all that to get oil resources,
00:05:42.860 it has to go south into the U.S. and then come back up into the east part of Canada, into eastern Canada.
00:05:53.160 So you don't have direct pipelines.
00:05:57.180 And why is that?
00:05:57.940 Because Canada has blocked it time and time again.
00:06:01.200 Time and time again, Alberta has pushed for pipelines so that the country is more self-dependent.
00:06:06.020 It never happens.
00:06:07.880 That's yet another reason why Alberta is looking for more sovereignty and more independence.
00:06:12.760 Well, and Premier Danielle Smith is taking matters into her own hands.
00:06:16.000 This is a report, very recent article from the National Post.
00:06:20.420 Goes, Danielle Smith says she's open to shipping oil to Pacific via U.S. Northwest.
00:06:26.600 Basically, exporting out of Washington state.
00:06:31.580 This wouldn't be unprecedented.
00:06:33.220 Saskatchewan has already done it.
00:06:34.700 But there was a plan to build an export terminal out of Vancouver for Nutrien,
00:06:43.360 which is the biggest potash exporter in the world.
00:06:46.660 Potash being an agricultural product needed for U.S. agriculture.
00:06:50.960 And they just closed the deal with Washington state because it's a lot easier.
00:06:56.000 You got British Columbia and the woke government over there bad-mouthing Alberta and Saskatchewan resources.
00:07:02.440 So why would they want to deal with them?
00:07:04.700 And of course, the premier of British Columbia is acting all shock and indignant, going like, oh, I don't know why they would go and deal with the Americans when they could have dealt with British Columbia, their fellow Canadians.
00:07:18.400 Of course, you want to be the fellow Canadians now because you want the jobs and whatnot.
00:07:24.500 But you don't behave like it when there are proposals, energy proposals and other and other projects.
00:07:30.700 You behave like you're an enemy.
00:07:32.480 That's literally how you treat Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:07:35.000 Anyway, the article continues.
00:07:36.320 Smith's comments come just week after Saskatchewan-based potash giant Nutrien announced plans to build a $1 billion export terminal at Washington state Port of Longview.
00:07:48.420 We're going to read a little bit of the article, Ottawa, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she's keeping in mind that there are more than one ways to get Alberta oil to the Pacific coast.
00:07:59.460 Smith said in a year end interview with National Post that while her first preference would be to build a new West Coast pipeline through northern British Columbia,
00:08:08.380 she's willing to look across the border if progress stalls.
00:08:13.460 And this is just one to the West Coast.
00:08:16.340 There's also the fact that Southpaw, the company that was working on the Keystone XL pipeline,
00:08:23.480 is talking to the Trump administration about the potential of reviving Keystone XL under a different name, probably, but reviving Keystone XL.
00:08:33.220 A lot of the pipework has already been done.
00:08:35.340 A lot of the permits are probably still valid.
00:08:37.340 So, and President Trump has expressed interest in reviving that project to export nearly another million barrels of oil,
00:08:47.400 heavy crude from Alberta south to the Gulf of America.
00:08:52.240 One possible route to the Pacific Ocean could be through northwestern U.S. states of Montana, Idaho, and either Washington or Oregon.
00:09:02.560 This is what the map would look like.
00:09:04.280 So, yeah, Alberta here, the energy powerhouse of North America.
00:09:09.740 You got it right here.
00:09:11.540 It will go down here, go through northwestern Montana, because that's near Glacier National Park, then north Idaho,
00:09:19.500 and then entering, I guess, tweening in Washington to go south towards Oregon and into Washington ports as well,
00:09:31.060 and then towards the Pacific Asian markets.
00:09:35.300 You really can't blame Alberta.
00:09:37.240 You really can't blame Alberta.
00:09:38.960 The province is just getting tired, and Danielle Smith is acting accordingly.
00:09:43.860 She's acting like a premier who realizes, you know what, my people are just done.
00:09:48.900 They're just done with dealing with a country that is not acting like we're a part of it.
00:09:53.960 So if you guys are going to act unilaterally and you're going to reject our progress,
00:09:58.520 then we're going to find ways to negotiate directly with the Americans and get our products to market.
00:10:04.640 And the Americans are loving it.
00:10:06.200 They love Alberta south of the border, so it's a win-win.
