00:04:32.240alberta freaking out because people can uh sign the petition down in arizona i think karen morgan
00:04:37.280is hosting let me let me take a look guys let me see if he's got it live because i don't i don't
00:04:40.800want to be out of the loop is she started contributing income taxes the moment they arrived
00:04:46.160that is the story of the vast majority of our amazing Canadians who arrived here during that
00:04:51.520time and are now citizens these Albertans were and are a huge strength to our economy and provincial
00:04:58.240culture and then came Justin Trudeau's disastrous open border immigration policies which have caused
00:05:04.240an unprecedented strain on our health care education and other social programs in just the
00:05:09.440last five years of trudeau's tenure alberta grew by almost 600 000 people to more than five she's
00:05:15.280talking about immigration although audubon throttled our most important job creating
00:05:19.280importations and prioritized immigration away from economic migrants and instead focused on
00:05:24.880international students temporary workers and asylum seekers deportation 600 000 people in five years
00:05:31.680is like adding the city of calgary or edmonton in five years although sustainable immigration has
00:05:38.080always been an important part of our provincial growth model throwing the doors wide open to
00:05:42.880anyone and everyone across the globe has flooded our classrooms emergency rooms and social support
00:05:48.400systems with far too many people far too quickly as just one example our student population has
00:05:54.400skyrocketed by more than 80 000 students in just the last four years and more than 140 000 students
00:06:00.720now having english as their additional language is it any wonder that our teachers and students
00:06:05.920are struggling so much with classroom complexity and crowding. To sum up our budget challenge,
00:06:11.900low oil prices combined with an out-of-control federal immigration policies are together
00:06:16.100driving unsustainable budget deficits, not just here, but across the country. That's the problem.
00:06:22.620So what's the solution? Today, I want to share with you a three-part strategy to address this
00:06:27.700budget challenge without resorting to deep and disruptive cuts to core social services.
00:06:31.980The long-term strategy was announced last year. Our government has already initiated an investment plan to build the Alberta Heritage Fund to more than $250 billion by 2050.
00:06:41.980We are already ahead of schedule. By reinvesting rather than spending interest earned in the fund each year, and investing the bulk of large surpluses in years with high oil prices like we saw in 2023, our government has already doubled the Heritage Fund from roughly $16 billion in 2021 to almost $32 billion today.
00:07:01.980That's how quickly you can move the dial.
00:09:04.000First off, our government will not be implementing drastic cuts to social services.
00:09:08.920The approved wage increases for our doctors, nurses, and teachers will remain in place so we can continue to attract the skilled professionals needed to catch up with our growth.
00:09:17.640Albertans have learned from experience that during times of low oil prices,
00:09:21.580the key is to limit increases in spending and focus it on building the schools,
00:09:26.100health facilities, roads, and other infrastructure needed to build a strong
00:09:29.560and diversified economy with a world-class standard of living.
00:09:33.500So instead of drastic cuts in upcoming budgets,
00:09:35.660we will instead be cutting unnecessary bureaucracy,
00:09:38.620improving efficiencies in program delivery,
00:09:40.880and prioritizing needs before wants as much as possible.
00:09:44.060We will continue to limit overall government spending increases to below inflation and population growth, implement more income testing for social programs so they are more financially sustainable, and critically, we will address head-on the challenge of out-of-control immigration levels that are overwhelming our core social services.
00:10:02.560The changes we need to make to immigration are a significant departure from the status quo, and therefore, I am seeking a referendum mandate from Albertans to implement them.
00:10:11.700On October 19th, 2026, we will hold a provincial referendum primarily focused on how Albertans want our government to deal with the issue of immigration, as well as steps we can take as a province to strengthen our constitutional and fiscal position within a united Canada.
00:10:27.300These were far and away the issues most strongly identified by Albertans during last year's Alberta Next Panel town halls and online submissions.
00:10:36.180And in my view, it is time to act on them.
00:10:38.160The fact is Alberta taxpayers can no longer be asked to continue to subsidize the entire country through equalization and federal transfers, permit the federal government to flood our borders with new arrivals, and then give free access to our most generous in the country social programs to anyone who moves here.
00:10:53.960This is not only grossly unfair to Alberta taxpayers, but also financially crippling and undercuts the quality of our health care, education, and other social services.
00:11:03.300The October 19th referendum will therefore include the following questions.
00:11:07.060Number one, do you support the government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purpose of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration, and ensuring Albertans have first priority to new employment opportunities?
00:11:22.920Number two, do you support the government of Alberta introducing a law mandating only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially funded programs, such as health, education, and other social services?
00:11:40.000Number three, assuming that all citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to be resident in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially funded social support programs?
00:12:02.620Number four, assuming that all citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now,
00:12:09.600do you support the government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their families' use of the health care and education systems?
00:12:21.360Number five, do you support the government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate, or citizenship card, to be eligible to vote in a provincial election?
00:12:36.060To strengthen Alberta's constitutional and fiscal position within the United Canada, we will also be asking you the following questions on the referendum ballot.
00:12:43.980Do you support the government of Alberta proactively working with other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution in the following ways?
00:12:51.600A. Have provincial governments and not the federal government select the justices appointed to provincial King's Bench and Appeals Courts.
00:13:00.080B. Abolish the unelected federal Senate.
00:13:03.980C. Allow provinces to opt out of federal programs intruding on provincial jurisdictions such as health, education, and social services without losing any of the associated federal funding for use in their own provincial social programs.
00:13:17.500d better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving a province's laws dealing
00:13:24.560with provincial or shared constitutional areas of jurisdiction priority over federal laws when
00:13:29.980in conflict with one another i look forward to the debate on these critically important ideas
00:13:35.040and to receive your decision on the questions outlined so that our government can get to work
00:13:39.920on implementing an immigration policy that puts the needs of albertans first as well as constitutional
00:13:45.400reforms needed to make Alberta stronger and more sovereign within a united Canada.
00:13:50.700In closing, I want you to know how confident I am in the judgment of Albertans on these and
00:13:55.260other delicate issues. Although there are some politicians and commentators that fear direct
00:13:59.760democracy, such as referendums, I do not. I trust the judgment of Albertans. I know that as a
00:14:05.600province, we will thoughtfully ponder, debate, and ultimately come to a wise decision on these
00:14:10.300questions that will benefit our families and our fellow Obertans for generations, just as we've
00:14:15.320always done. May our beautiful province forever remain strong and free. Thank you and good night.
00:14:21.020all right so that was the premier's announcement that was relatively quick relatively brief
00:14:44.760i don't even have any more material for you guys i that's it i thought she was going to
00:14:49.640talk for like an hour or something guys no i'm just kidding i did uh i did have some things that
00:14:55.300i wanted to talk to you guys about uh take advantage of the time that i have and i also
00:14:59.960want to discuss what just happened uh what do you guys make of this like it looks like she's
00:15:05.740finally going after um what's happening with immigration like the ridiculousness of our
00:15:12.400immigration system it has become completely unsustainable anyone who lives in alberta
00:15:17.900actually here's here's a good one um the number one name uh they were lying too he's like oh the
00:15:24.880the number one name the number one baby name out here in alberta they were saying it was uh what
00:15:31.100was it babe noah so my wife is like oh look baby name is no i guess we're not we're not all lost
00:15:37.520yet um number eight was mohammed right but someone brought up the fact that um mohammed like there's
00:15:46.960different ways to spell that name right there's like mohammed with two m's there's with one m
00:15:53.120there's with an a there's with an e there's with a u there's with a o there's a million ways to spell
00:15:58.640that name right and when you put all of those together it just so happens that mohammed it's
00:16:07.040actually is actually number one by far in alberta let me let me just find the report for you guys here
00:16:16.960and um that is incredible that is incredible and not in a good way literally unbelievable like
00:16:27.280in a province like alberta in a western province with western heritage
00:16:31.840number one baby name now is mohammed we're not we're not in libya not in lebanon we're not in
00:16:43.300syria we're not in iraq iran no no no no no we're in alberta and the number one baby name
00:16:49.500is mohammed that is incredibly troubling they're the ones having the majority of the babies
00:16:58.000that's how a civilization ends and gets replaced yes i said it replaced call me a racist
00:17:07.220youtube's probably gonna you know decide to do something dumb with this video and you know
00:17:12.640it'll probably be gone after i don't know after an hour of being posted but whatever i'm gonna
00:17:18.160say it that's how population gets replaced um and the problem is majority of those people they don't
00:17:24.560they don't adapt they don't respect the customs they don't respect the local culture
00:17:30.880oftentimes there are exceptions and i'm always happy to see the exceptions when i do
00:17:36.160meet those exceptions but generally speaking man they they don't adapt they don't they're not trying
00:17:43.360to they're not here to take part all right they're not here to take part they're here to take over
00:17:48.720and uh yeah that's uh article by the western standard new alberta's top baby name mohammed
00:17:57.220despite government report saying otherwise uh this came out what two days ago alberta has
00:18:03.180announced his top baby names for 2025 and the results are consistent with the trending names
00:18:08.460for both uh boys and girls from a year earlier with a few changes one notable mention is mohammed
00:18:14.920topping the list for baby boy names despite government claiming it's in eighth place
00:18:19.200this is because mohammed has many different spelling variations including mohammed mohammed
00:18:24.880you guys can see them all right here i know can't make the image bigger than that to just name a few
00:18:31.160With all this counted, Mohamed is number one baby name in Alberta in 2025, totally more than 270 babies with that name.
00:18:41.020It ain't even close. I was like, oh, no, good. I guess we're not all lost.
00:18:45.100I guess, you know, Western Canada is not all lost.
00:18:56.140It's not even close. It's not even a debate that the names out in Ontario are not Canadian, typical Canadian baby names. They're all Middle Eastern, Arabic or Indian names. Do with that as you will.
00:19:16.000all right all right let's uh let's see get to some super chats here know about west alberta
00:19:24.420with the super chat thank you we need to do these things now not wait till october to debate it
00:19:30.540why kick the bucket till then we have to leave now 100 my friend 100 what are we doing like why
00:19:38.300why is she calling a referendum just start cracking down on immigration right now like this
00:19:43.960is the thing that frustrates me about premier smith i i do cut her the slack she is a politician
00:19:50.160she needs time these things do take time but certain things it's like come on ma'am come on
00:19:56.700ma'am like just get to it like start working on these things right now like she could take away
00:20:02.220the benefits right away she's got a majority government it is in her jurisdiction like
00:20:08.120Deportations is a trickier one, but there are ways to incentivize them to leave or disincentivize them from coming in, if you know what I mean.
00:20:21.020You know, like, take away the benefits.
00:20:23.980Make it that they need to spend at least two years here before working, paying taxes before they get any benefits.
00:20:30.480I bet you a majority of them won't even come here anymore.
00:20:44.600Give them 24 months paying taxes first.
00:20:47.200Get a job for 24 months if you truly want to live in Alberta.
00:20:50.980And when you do that, like I did as an immigrant myself, been paying taxes here for nearly two decades, then maybe then you can apply for benefits.
00:21:03.860A lot of these people just show up. They show up to Alberta and they just start taking, man. They just start taking. And it's not what your country can do for you, right? What can you do for your country? So another super chat by Nova West. Thank you. Federal government are importing people, giving citizenship for people to join our military. That's not, oh, I'm going to talk about that. That's going to go so well. Yeah.
00:21:28.880Just when you think Canada has reached maximum levels of stupidity, incompetence, and just crazy desire to destroy itself,
00:21:43.220you get another day goes by and you realize that they're going to start importing foreigners to be in the Canadian military.
00:21:51.220Literally, they're going to hire foreigners to defend the country.
00:27:57.160I mean, Trudeau had training with CCP soldiers at the time.
00:28:03.000I think Obama was in power and Obama wasn't going to do anything.
00:28:07.060I can only imagine what would happen if that happened under Trump.
00:28:10.940like you got ccp soldiers north of the 49th parallel just training up here um that that
00:28:19.540that's likely the direction that they're headed is to hire chinese soldiers um get them to to
00:28:30.000get into canada and gather intel oh where is it uh okay there we go here's um here's the report
00:28:40.480right here from zero hedge um literally that's that's what they're doing now they're gonna hire
00:28:47.120foreigners to be in our military and that right there is our top general that's our toughest
00:28:53.680soldier here in canada that uh that old lady right there is our top soldier yeah
00:29:01.760other news we got fox news ripping mark carney a new one laura ingram just went off on him
00:29:09.700uh how he's betraying uh canada's closest ally by causing up to china and making moves like the
00:29:18.200one he just made announcing that he's going to be hiring foreign soldiers to serve in the canadian
00:29:23.400military that is part of the g7 and part of the commonwealth and this is what she had to say
00:29:29.800show you guys here this better way to watch it this is what she had to say prime minister mark
00:29:35.560carney thinks he scored some big victory now that china is allowing canadian citizens to travel
00:29:41.320there visa free why would you want to travel there christmas in china break in beijing little r&r
00:29:48.020with the ccp oh this is ludicrous so carney would rather make a big statement turn his back on the
00:29:54.960United States, the country's largest trading partner, closest ally, to kowtow to the commie?
00:30:02.580Canada was amongst the first to hear the wake-up call, leading us to fundamentally shift our
00:30:09.240strategic posture. And I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well
00:30:16.260for the new world porter. Such a snake. Such a snake.
00:30:24.960is here to react gordon shang gatestone institute senior fellow uh gordon first of all on the trade
00:30:30.480issue we have to set the record straight here china sells us the united states 76
00:30:39.200of its exports where do they think those exports are going to go now china is going to buy all
00:30:45.920that you know all the automobiles the maple syrup the timber no they're not they never have and
00:30:53.120they never will in hell is that going to happen so what's going to happen to their exports
00:30:58.960well you know they're obviously going to have to go to the u.s um you know in 2024 which was the
00:31:04.880last year for which we have figures canada's merchandise trade surplus against the u.s was
00:31:10.16062.0 billion dollars last year it'll be probably around 45 billion dollars there's no way that
00:31:17.520Canada can redirect that to China or any other country. Canada and the U.S. are closely tied
00:31:24.140together, and that's a fact. There's nothing that Carney can do about it. So what is he referring
00:31:30.160to when he says the new world order? Is this a new world order where the communist Chinese set
00:31:37.600up some type of formal relationship on Canadian soil? Because Trump's not going to put up with
00:31:43.340Yeah. When he was at Davos, Carney talked about how the middle powers were going to exert power and band together. And I guess that's what he's talking about. He's talking about a world really without the U.S. where Canada is more oriented towards Beijing than Washington.
00:32:00.860But he's got to remember that the Chinese are actually pressuring Canada in the Arctic, and Canada can't defend its Arctic.
00:32:18.540We're integrated, but Carney can't create this divorce that he's been talking about.
00:32:23.920Well, it's just a laughingstock, but what is visa-free travel?
00:32:28.700who would want to go to china tell our viewers what happens when you bring your phone to china
00:32:36.540a regular pump yeah well they just take everything off your spy and they implant software there
00:32:42.440and this visa fee travel you know carney should remind the canadian people that
00:32:47.840china took two canadians as hostages in december 2018 the two michaels and they held them for
00:32:54.8401,019 days because Beijing was pissed with Ottawa. They also gave a death sentence to another
00:33:01.640Canadian because they were angry at the Canadians. So these are hostages that China has taken,
00:33:09.940and Carney can't really protect Canadians in China, and he has to understand that as well.
00:33:15.660Gordon, I'm going to say this. We're going to check back in a year. We'll see how the U.S.
00:33:20.420economy is doing and then we'll see how the canadian economy is doing okay oh we don't even
00:33:26.100have to check in a year it's already we already know i mean the canadian economy is dead last on
00:33:33.300the g7 and i think it's dead last on the g20 and i think it's second to last in the oecd
00:33:40.260which i think are 36 countries um i think the only one that did worse i think was luxembourg
00:33:47.460that tiny little state nation state out in in central Europe Canada is dead last and our
00:33:57.540inflation is out of control especially when it comes to food like there are over two million
00:34:03.260Canadians visiting food banks every single month in order to survive it's unbelievable what's
00:34:11.660happening in this country um let me just get to another super chat here from theresa mccleary
00:34:20.600question do you think that these things smith just listed would not help alberta separating a bit
00:34:29.020easier i think they would i think they would you know they would they absolutely help like i i i
00:34:36.200I'm thankful that she's finally addressing the elephant in the room, which is that one of the biggest issues that this country is having, and Alberta is no exception as being, unfortunately, a part of Canada still, is immigration.
00:34:50.460The levels are just too high in the quality of the immigrant that is coming in today.
00:35:05.660You have the example of an immigrant who comes in and speaks the language, works hard, has a profession, some sort of certificate that is useful, comes in, doesn't take any benefits, you know, doesn't use your social programs.
00:35:20.640Then you have an immigrant who does the complete opposite, doesn't speak the language, doesn't care to learn the language.
00:50:31.420so here is okay let me go like this this is the thing that really like i really can't get over
00:50:39.580the fact that we are hiring foreign foreign soldiers i don't i don't know of any other
