00:01:06.640able to hear me okay sounds good it said cool cool cool hey larry how's it going shout out to
00:01:13.760you my friend welcome everybody welcome welcome welcome this is monumental night i'm excited i
00:01:21.920got goosebumps i mean i shouldn't be getting excited i've been watching politics for the past
00:01:26.840year and and then uh however long before that and i mean for one year as a youtuber now and
00:01:33.760forever long before that as a voter and um i should know better than to get excited because
00:01:39.040politicians just do whatever works for them but honestly i think this one time the outcome is
00:01:45.060fairly predictable the outcome is fairly predictable because the pressure from albertans
00:01:50.440the pressure from albertans is insane the amount of pressure albertans are putting on our government
00:01:56.520is something to be proud of it is something to be proud of i mean the mainstream media thinks that
00:02:03.580when they say ah it's just about 30 percent of albertans who support independence that that's
00:02:07.200supposed to be an offensive thing if it's true that it's only 30 holy crap what a powerful
00:02:13.080influential uh determined 30 that is and boy am i ever proud of that 30 of alberta patriots but i
00:02:22.700I think it's actually something closer to 40 to 45 percent, which is what internal polling by the APP, Alberta Prosperity Project and Stay Free Alberta actually has shown is 40 to 45 percent.
00:02:36.320And for those of you who have been keeping up with the channel, you know that even native Albertans, First Nations, Aboriginals, their support is around 46 percent.
00:02:47.780think about that for a second 46 percent and the opposing side i think is 42 so if it was up to
00:02:56.720native albertans uh we'd be we'd be an independent nation tomorrow as much as the the mainstream
00:03:03.700media like to say otherwise we would be an independent country tomorrow if it was up to
00:03:09.780our first nations uh but if you listen to the media everybody everyone in the first nations
00:03:17.120everybody in the reservation everybody in the rest is against independence and that's not so
00:03:23.320the chiefs the chiefs who are part of the gravy train right those who benefit from the status quo
00:03:29.240those are against independence but the the band members oh and i've met many of them
00:03:36.880the band members a lot of them do support alberta independence and again i've had the privilege of
00:03:42.060meeting at least a half a dozen of them and that's when i'm not working when i i'm able to
00:03:46.900go to some of those activities and events, rallies and such.
00:03:51.280So again, we're probably polling 40 to 45 percent.
00:03:54.660And for context, for context, I'm not even going to give you the Brexit example, which,
00:03:59.600by the way, Brexit was never supposed to happen.
00:12:38.420And they remain skeptical that last week's pipeline agreement between Ottawa and Alberta will actually lead to a new pipeline.
00:12:46.440It's pantomime. It's all for show. We're not going to get a pipeline out of that.
00:12:50.960It's just dangling the pipeline in front of our eyes. We're not going to get a pipeline out of that.
00:12:55.560All right. Let's see if the premier is going live yet.
00:12:58.560OK. All right. We're going to be she's going to be live soon here.
00:13:01.660Let me just leave it here and mute it and mute it so that we can, in the meantime, be talking.
00:13:10.820There's a much higher chance, a much higher chance of Wyoming, the Wyoming, Alberta, Wyoming pipeline being approved than there is of us getting a pipeline to British Columbia.
00:13:22.940When you already got the premier in British Columbia talking smack about I don't want Alberta's dirty oil going through B.C., you know.
00:13:32.620freedom train with the super chat thank you so much for the super chat freedom train i
00:13:37.580appreciate it thank you very much the train is coming and it ain't stopping it's not stopping
00:13:45.100i appreciate the super channel man thank you so much so yeah like the video i put out today
00:13:53.180shows just how different the approach is you got the laurentian elite in canada you got
00:14:00.060wf davos world economic forum mark carney dangling the little illusion of a pipeline a promise of a
00:14:08.620potential pipeline if alberta meets a million prerequisites that no other energy superpower in
00:14:15.660the world no other energy producing jurisdiction take even norway and the norwegians are very
00:14:22.220liberal people and even they don't have a carbon tax even they don't have to deal with this with
00:14:28.220just how stringent the rules are for alberta to produce its own energy the amount of things you
00:14:34.860have to do and you already have the grifty you know the the grifter's chiefs uh chiefs um first
00:14:41.660nations and aboriginals already coming out and saying now we're against the future potential
00:14:46.140pipeline and carney then says yeah if they don't agree then we don't we don't get a pipeline
00:14:51.820however you look south montana yep come right through we would love more alberta oil right here
00:14:57.340Wyoming is like, yeah, we'd love to have you. You got Governor Gordon. And he's like, yeah, we would love to have more Alberta oil coming through Wyoming all day, every day.
00:15:07.540let's build that pipeline and president trump approved it with the stroke of a pen that quickly
00:15:12.660just like that just like that meanwhile we have a promise of a promise of maybe one day if we
00:15:19.380satisfy 10 prerequisites we might just eventually be able to export oil out of our own fellow
00:15:26.900country's coast right and still we just won't get that pipeline see here get a super chat
00:15:37.540from burn gal is that how you pronounce your last name man gall gal either way thank you so much man
00:15:45.700thank you for the super chat i appreciate you i really am thankful okay you guys can't even see
00:15:51.380my face there thank you so much thank you i appreciate it and thank you to freedom train as
00:15:56.260well uh yeah we're not we're not gonna get a pipeline they're just dangling the the whole
00:16:02.340possibility of a pipeline here you go just you know increase your carbon tax um increase your
00:16:09.380carbon tax and do all kinds of stuff and humiliate yourself in front of a lord carney king carney
00:16:16.420and maybe then we will consider potentially letting you export your most uh valuable resource
00:16:24.340as a part of this country it's like we have to buy a membership to be an equal partner in this
00:16:30.660so-called federation what's the point what's the point okay did the live stream begin because it's
00:16:36.660looking like it's buffering hold on a second here guys let's let's try to let's try to reload this
00:16:42.000thing here because sometimes okay it's it's still not live it's still not going and we're live so
00:16:49.140uh she's late like the politician that she is she's late but well i hope she at the end of the
00:16:58.520I just hope she calls the referendum and calls the right referendum
00:17:01.420because Lucas Huck's question is a joke.
00:17:06.480It's like, should Alberta stay in Canada?
00:17:09.640It's like asking, should this guy stay blue?
00:17:11.900He asked it that way because it's noncompliant.
00:17:15.420It doesn't comply with the Supreme Court's decision,
00:17:20.000which created what they call the Clarity Act.
00:17:23.680The question has to be clear, concise, precise,
00:17:26.860and it has to be asked the right way so that it complies
00:17:30.880with the, what do you call it, with parliament
00:17:35.600because parliament is supposed to approve it.
00:17:37.620I mean, that's another thing that I don't like
00:17:39.600about this whole process, but there is the one thing
00:17:42.660they talk about, which is called international recognition
00:17:45.240that the Supreme Court did reference in that comment
00:17:51.540that they made that none of that excludes the possibility
00:17:55.140of international recognition and in all honesty i believe that'll be that'll probably be the way
00:18:02.580alberta is gonna have to end up going not only in canada upon a successful referendum is going
00:18:07.900to negotiate in good faith i don't believe so and pardon me if i'm being pessimistic i don't
00:18:14.100think today's canada will if if enough albertans choose to vote yes come october i don't think
00:18:21.880canada let's alberta go without making its life impossible they'll make it impossible for alberta
00:18:28.560to actually become independent because they like they're losing their golden goose and canada has
00:18:33.860just become that kind of a country canada is not the country that we knew 15 20 even 10 years ago
00:18:40.960a respectable country that wasn't perfect but overall uh there was minimal corruption there
00:18:47.360was some corruption but there was minimal corruption no major scandals trudeau threw
00:18:51.320all that out the window there's been corruption non-stop in any self-respecting country Justin
00:18:57.760Trudeau would be in jail right now arrested there's so many scandals S&C Lavalin the Green
00:19:05.080Slush Fund the Yagakan Island I don't even have the time to mention all of them there's a long
00:19:12.620list and Mark Carney has a million conflicts of interest with the whole Brookfield thing and he's
00:19:18.220already like breaking rules and such canada's not going to let alberta go without a fight is what
00:19:22.960i'm trying to say but the ultimate thing the trump card if you will is international recognition and
00:19:30.720the trump administration has already multiple times uh has already mentioned one way or another
00:19:38.780either covert or overtly or clearly that they support democracy and that they would support
00:19:44.580an independent Alberta like that, they would offer international recognition.
00:19:48.120And that's the game changer right here.
00:19:50.440I've told you guys ad nauseum multiple times.
00:20:55.060My fellow Albertans, tonight I wish to speak with you about the debate we are having in this province on the future of Alberta and Canada.
00:21:02.560Last week, an Alberta judge released a decision finding that the Citizen Initiative petition
00:21:06.920organized by the group Stay Free Alberta on the issue of Alberta separation is unconstitutional
00:21:12.980because in the judge's view, there was not adequate consultation done with the First Nations
00:21:17.460Band about the potential effect of the petition on their treaty rights. This ruling fundamentally
00:21:23.140misinterprets the nature of the duty to consult, which was never meant to prevent citizens from
00:21:28.140making their voices heard through a democratic process. Now, I want to be clear. I support
00:21:33.860Alberta remaining in Canada. That is how I would vote on separation in a provincial referendum.
00:21:39.620It is also the position of my government and my caucus. However, despite my personal support for
00:21:45.440remaining in Canada, I am deeply troubled by an erroneous court decision that interferes with the
00:21:50.960democratic rights of hundreds of thousands of Albertans. Albertans who volunteered, prepared
00:21:57.120petitions, made their case to fellow citizens, and appear to have secured the required amount
00:22:02.480of signatures necessary under Alberta law to hold a provincial referendum. The fact is that between
00:22:08.840the Forever Canada petition requesting a referendum on Alberta remaining in Canada and the Stay Free
00:22:15.000Alberta petition requesting a referendum on leaving Canada, approximately 700,000 Albertans have
00:22:21.600signed a petition requesting a vote on this issue. And I, as Premier, will not have a legal mistake
00:22:27.300by a single judge silence the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans. That's not the Alberta
00:22:33.060way. Alberta's future will be decided by Albertans, not the courts. Our government will therefore be
00:22:39.780appealing the decision to Alberta's Court of Appeal and, if necessary, the Supreme Court of
00:22:44.580Canada. But this process will take many months and possibly years before being addressed by those
00:22:50.520higher courts. In the meantime, under our legal system, this troubling court decision is binding
00:22:56.340law in Alberta until it is successfully appealed. This means that it is unlikely the courts will
00:23:02.620permit Elections Alberta to hold a binding provincial referendum on separation until this
00:23:07.520incorrect ruling is overturned or clarified. But there is another way to hear from Albertans while
00:23:13.520we wait for our legal appeal to be heard. That is why I'm announcing today that I will be requesting
00:23:18.480our government, add an additional question to the October 19th referendum vote announced
00:23:23.180previously. The additional question will be, should Alberta remain a province of Canada?
00:23:29.760Or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian
00:23:34.120Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should
00:23:39.640separate from Canada? Because this proposed referendum question does not directly trigger
00:23:45.180separation, but if successful, would ask Alberta's government to commence the legal process necessary
00:23:50.980to hold a binding referendum on the matter. The recent court ruling would not be applicable,
00:23:55.960and the referendum question I outlined could proceed. This question will also ensure the
00:24:01.340700,000 signatories to both the Forever Canada petition and the Stay Free Alberta petition
00:24:06.900are respected, and the will of Albertans is heard. Kicking the can down the road only prolongs a very
00:24:13.300emotional and important debate, and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans
00:24:18.120wanting to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society. It's time to have a vote,
00:24:24.140understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on. Now, obviously, Alberta's first ever
00:24:30.100provincial vote on our province's future in Canada is of monumental importance. As such, I feel it is
00:24:36.240important to clearly state my personal position so Albertans know where I stand. I first want to
00:24:41.920assure Albertans that our government will respect the outcome and direction received on all of the
00:24:46.320referendum questions being voted on this October 19th. Our government has already launched the
00:24:51.480website, albertareferendum2026.ca, with a significant amount of background information
00:24:57.540on the immigration and constitutional questions previously announced, and I hope every Albertan
00:25:02.560will take the time to explore that website in detail. As to the specific issue of separation,
00:25:07.700I have repeatedly stated that the position of the UCP caucus and UCP government is to build a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.
00:25:17.400I have never deviated from that position, and I will not do so now.
00:25:21.000I will therefore be voting for Alberta to remain in Canada, while continuing to work each and every day to restore and strengthen provincial rights under the Canadian Constitution.
00:25:31.280The fact is, Canada was founded on this very principle.
00:25:34.380Canada is very different from the United States and many other Western democracies.
00:25:39.500For example, the United States centralizes the majority of power and decision-making in its federal government.
00:25:46.700In Canada, we chose a decentralized federation composed of very unique and diverse provinces left to govern themselves in almost all matters.
00:25:55.260With the main exceptions of national defense and international affairs.
00:25:58.020over time our federal government has sought to move towards a more centralized american style
00:26:03.660system with ottawa attempting to take over many provincial areas of jurisdiction using all manner
00:26:09.900of legislative judicial and financial leverage i categorically reject ottawa's attempts to do so
00:26:16.360and call on all provincial leaders and mps to undo the extensive damage that centralization
00:26:21.720of power in ottawa has done to our country economically and with respect to national
00:26:26.560unity. I am fiercely loyal to both Alberta and Canada, but I truly believe our country is so
00:26:33.220much stronger and more prosperous when we respect the rights of provinces and empower them to govern
00:26:38.620themselves with minimal federal interference. Albertans, not Ottawa. Quebecers, not Ottawa.
00:26:45.400And all the other provinces must each be empowered to control our own direction and destiny,
00:26:50.900Whether it's energy policy, agricultural practices, policing, firearms ownership, or how to administer our social programs, the days of Ottawa dictating and interfering in provincial affairs must come to an end.
00:27:04.420The future economic success and unity of our country depends on that.
00:27:05.680How is it going to come to an end if you're not calling a binding referendum, lady?
00:27:09.040When I was first elected premier, I was very concerned that it would be almost impossible to restore provincial rights stolen from Alberta and other provinces by the Trudeau-Sing government in Ottawa.0.98
00:27:19.720However, our government went to work anyway to see if we could.0.86
00:27:23.360We have been relentless in making our voices heard,
00:28:10.900We fought hard and refused to accept the status quo.
00:28:13.900And the result? Well, my friends, we have started to win. Over the course of the last two years, the tide of national public opinion on resource development, provincial rights, energy policy, and a host of other issues began to turn. Our Alberta oil sands went from a national target to a national treasure. Pipelines went from impossible to a national imperative.
00:28:36.900Justin Trudeau's anti-Alberta, anti-energy policies became a national embarrassment,
00:28:41.300one of several, that ultimately cost him his prime ministership.
00:28:45.220The Leave-It-In-The-Ground NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, was electorally annihilated.
00:28:50.200And the federal Liberals, led by their new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney,
00:28:53.840adopted most of Alberta's positions on energy and resource development.
00:28:57.380In fact, the current Prime Minister has worked very constructively with our government
00:29:01.340to craft an Alberta-Ottawa Energy Agreement, or MOU, as it is often called. This has already
00:29:07.280attracted tens of billions of dollars in investment for new pipelines, natural gas-run data centers,
00:29:13.240electricity generation, and so much more. Under that energy agreement with Ottawa,
00:29:18.580the destructive federal electricity regulations are gone. The economically disastrous oil and
00:29:24.420gas production cap has been scrapped. New pipelines carry nearly a million barrels of
00:51:14.220out of British Columbia that are pre-approved,
00:51:15.920And he's crying and whining about a potential pipeline that hasn't even been approved.
00:51:21.880There's an MOU. That's all there is, which is basically an IOU paper.
00:51:26.860An MOU not worth the paper it is written on is all Alberta has.
00:51:31.120And we had to agree to a carbon tax, an industrial carbon tax in order to get a promise of a pipeline.
00:51:38.880And this guy still British Columbia Premier, basically the governor of British Columbia, for those of you south of the border.
00:51:45.920This guy is already complaining about a potential pipeline which hasn't even been agreed or, you know, hasn't even been approved fully yet or at all.
00:56:38.920suck loving crazy leftists right with these people sinos you guys call rhinos1.00
00:56:45.720i hate it because it's like you you got elected a conservative0.99
00:56:50.660that danielle smith specifically got elected on a on a sovereignty platform sovereignty within a
00:56:58.180united canada okay how are you making a sovereign within canada where's where's alberta police
00:57:03.260where's alberta pension and she's kind of moved on those things but you can do it faster man
00:57:08.840Go ahead and actually do it. Get the RCMP out of Alberta and get the Alberta sheriffs to take over for them.
00:57:16.200We're already running deficits. Doesn't matter if we run higher deficits. Just get it done.
00:57:20.560Make us sovereign in the meantime. Quebec has its own police.
00:57:24.160Quebec doesn't need the RCMP and they probably do it because they're like, hey, once we become an independent country,
00:57:28.660why would we want to have national Canadian police in our in our land?
00:57:32.560No, we want to have our own police who is loyal to Quebec and Quebec alone.
00:57:35.720where's the alberta pension plan he creates an alberta pension plan and we don't have to worry
00:57:41.800about the seniors that are worried about oh i'm going to lose my pension if we separate from
00:57:46.500canada because we've we would already have our own pension separate from canada alberta keeps
00:57:52.320his pension quebec already has that quebec has its own pension plan so that when they do if they
00:57:59.320ever because i don't think quebec really wants to separate there may be some individuals that
00:58:04.700really want to separate and they believe quebec would be better off independent but institutionally
00:58:09.500as a as a province quebec loves taking money from alberta to fund their socialist programs
00:58:16.620and they're addicted to that equalization money so i don't think they want to separate as an
00:58:21.100institution there may be some real quebecois patriots who want to see their province separate
00:58:26.460but as an institution as a as a government they don't want to um continue just a supporter from
00:58:32.220texas wishing you all the best thank you so much my friend i appreciate you uh appreciate each and
00:58:38.060every one of you who've uh taken the time to be sharing uh this live with me here disappointed
00:58:45.420definitely disappointed i expected her to finally pick a side and she didn't say oh i'm against it
00:58:53.580she didn't because of course some people say well she didn't she didn't come out and say oh we're
00:58:57.260not getting a referendum at least we're getting one she didn't glass half full i guess this was
00:59:04.060the moment there's no longer like nuance there's no longer nuance in between maybe she is maybe
00:59:12.620she's not she's playing 4d chess no no no no no that time has passed in my opinion my humble
00:59:19.980opinion this was the time for her to finally pick a side and if if she's not gonna pick a side right
00:59:26.380if she's gonna say or if she is gonna pick the other side which she actually did um i'm pro uh
00:59:31.740federalist but i'm gonna do right by the people and put the referendum to them i don't think you
00:59:36.540guys are gonna win i don't think it's gonna happen right just like they thought before brexit brexit
00:59:41.260is never gonna win we're gonna stay a part of the european union and then they got surprised
00:59:45.900but here it's binding because i i can call it as as the premier here i called it you have a
00:59:52.860a referendum and it's binding and we're ready to go if you guys voted my hands are clean i i did
00:59:58.640what i could to convince you otherwise but what she is again she's playing the middle playing
01:00:03.640technicalities if we vote yes what happens is that we possibly enter negotiations to maybe leave0.90
01:00:12.620that's what i heard i didn't hear if we if enough of you vote yes in alberta for independence then
01:00:20.340we start building a country immediately you know we start the negotiating process of how we build
01:00:27.340that country right away not negotiating process to be convinced otherwise to not separate or whatever
01:00:35.460so i don't know very disappointed definitely disappointed um they and this this sign right
01:00:42.980here this sign right here kind of had me excited this was the uh minister of industry who put this
01:00:48.980tweet out today before the before this address and that kind of had me excited i was like oh man
01:00:54.960this this might be a sign pun intended right uh welcome to alberta signs right and welcome to
01:01:00.820alberta strong and free so they're modifying the welcome to alberta i'm like oh maybe that's that's
01:01:05.780a statement that they're picking the side of sovereignty finally that they're gonna pick a
01:01:11.180side but we just found out that they're playing games still they're not saying no but they're
01:01:17.500not saying yes and not saying yes is pretty much saying no to me at this point because at this
01:01:23.580point it's no longer again she shouldn't be playing games at this point so it's just not
01:01:28.500good this is what i was hoping for this is what i was hoping to hear that's what he could look like
01:01:35.160the day after alberta becomes independent from canada but it wouldn't be her anymore it wouldn't
01:01:40.640be her it'd be somebody else we win a referendum a real one it wouldn't be her because i don't
01:01:46.140think she's keeping her job i'm gonna keep an eye out on that but i don't think she's keeping her

01:06:13.240and i'm gonna leave you guys with this clip from president trump how he views canada this is how
01:06:19.180president trump views canada this is a recent conversation he had talking about canada because
01:06:24.360canada still doesn't have a deal every other country in the world has uh managed to get a0.98
01:06:30.020deal with the united states the biggest economy in the world but canada is keeping their dumb0.98
01:06:34.780elbows up right i'm gonna keep those elbows up even though our economies in the in the toilet0.96
01:06:42.240our dollar 72 cents to the american dollar lower than ever uh we got two million canadians
01:06:49.820needing necessitating a food bank in order to survive uh and we still want to keep our elbows
01:06:56.420up and they want to make a deal with the united states this is what president trump had to say
01:07:00.720when they asked him uh are you willing to accommodate canada at all economically to try
01:07:05.520to make a deal with them this is what he had to say watch no i'm not look we've been ripped off
01:07:10.760for years and we're not going to be ripped off anymore no i'm not going to bend at all aluminum
01:07:15.000or steel or cars we're not going to bend we've been ripped off as a country for many many years
01:07:21.560we've uh been subjected to costs that we shouldn't be subjected to in the case of canada we're
01:07:29.320spending 200 billion a year to subsidize canada i love canada i love the people of canada i love
01:07:34.880I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. How good is Wayne Gretzky? He's the great one. But we have I know many people from Canada that are good friends of mine. But, you know, the United States can't subsidize a country for 200 billion dollars a year. We don't need their cars. We don't need their energy. We don't need their lumber. We don't need anything that they that they get.
01:08:03.700We do it because we want to be helpful. But it comes a point when you just can't do that.
01:08:08.460You have to run your own country. And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state.
01:08:13.720We don't need anything they have. As a state, it would be one of the great states anyway.
01:08:19.400This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it between Canada and the U.S.
01:08:28.060just a straight artificial line somebody did it a long time ago many many decades ago and
01:08:34.680makes no sense it's so perfect as a great and cherished state keeping oh canada the national
01:08:45.920anthem i love it i think it's great keep it but it'll be for the state one of our greatest states
01:08:51.800maybe our greatest state but uh why should we subsidize another country for 200 billion cost
01:08:59.100us 200 billion dollars a year and again we don't need their lumber we don't need their energy we
01:09:04.640have more than they do we don't need anything we don't need the cars i'd much rather make the cars
01:09:08.880here and there's not a thing that we need now there'll be a little disruption but it won't be
01:09:15.620very long but they need us we really don't need them i and we have to do this i'm sorry we have
01:09:21.960to do this yes president trump ain't bending one bit and mark carney's about to find out the thing
01:09:28.900is he doesn't care because most of his money ironically and this is what the elbows up crowd
01:09:34.100does not understand or refuse to understand a no worse blind man than he who who refuses to see
01:09:41.380and open his eyes um they refuse to realize that mark carney's investments 90 of them are south of
01:09:49.460the border 90 of mark carney's portfolio is south of the border what does that tell you about whether
01:09:59.380he wants canada to get ahead or not like that alone should disqualify this dude he should he
01:10:06.580should have to get rid of all his u.s assets put him in in in canada's assets in canadian assets
01:10:13.940you shouldn't be allowed to do that his motivation is to literally destroy the canadian economy
01:10:21.380why would he do otherwise think about it guys if 90 of your money is in a different country than
01:10:29.620the one you're in you're literally invested somewhere else what motivation do you have as
01:10:35.220a human being as a corruptible that we all are except for our lord jesus christ right as corruptible
01:10:41.540as we all are what motivation financially would we have if we have nothing invested or very little
01:10:49.060invested in the country that we're supposed to serve but we got it invested somewhere else
01:10:55.220brookfield is buying pipelines in the united states and yet alberta has to jump through hoops
01:11:01.140to get a pipeline to the coast and then you have secretary of the treasury scott besant
01:11:08.840saying hey come down here come on down to the u.s we'll get you to the to the washington coast or
01:11:15.780oregon we'll figure it out and our permits are a lot faster we're not playing games down here
01:11:20.820we want to build we want to drill baby drill and they already revived keystone xl it's already
01:11:28.780it's going to start next year or right like right away alberta's talking about sometime maybe
01:11:33.840possibly in september if he jumps through all the hoops next year september next year and it's still
01:11:41.480not approved and trump just with the stroke of a pen like today's video if you haven't watched it
01:11:45.900go and watch it it's a video called trump just gave alberta what canada failed to and he talks
01:11:52.540about the contrast between how the u.s treats alberta and how canada treats alberta and i'm
01:11:59.820not saying we should become the 51st state though i personally believe we will be better off as a
01:12:04.020state than us staying in canada but i want alberta to be an independent country an independent
01:12:10.520republic of alberta but just look at the contrast in how the americans treat alberta when it comes
01:12:16.760to working with us versus how canada treats alberta when it comes to our energy sector
01:12:23.720and generally speaking politically prime ministers are picked before our votes are even counted here
01:12:31.480guys think about that as an alberton by the time they start counting our votes
01:12:40.280quebec and ontario already picked the prime minister how how is that for a functioning country
01:12:46.760the votes the way that the u.s has it going is every vote matters
01:12:53.660because the electoral college creates this situation where places like california that
01:13:01.160have literally 40 million people have a certain amount of electoral uh i don't know what they're
01:13:08.720called i think delegates but then places in montana in north dakota are just as important
01:13:13.660and you got to win them if you if you want to win our votes they don't matter alberta has 34 seats
01:13:21.980in parliament with a population of 5 million people atlantic canada as a whole has 32 seats
01:13:28.760with less than 3 million people so they only have like two seats less and we have 2.2 million people
01:13:36.460more than than them on equal representation and they know it and they don't want to fix it
