00:05:05.980I wish I was because I love this place, but I am an Albertan by choice.
00:05:09.800I like to believe that Alberta adopted me and its culture and its traditions, its day-to-day and its people.
00:05:22.320It's everyday people, not the political types, not the people in Edmonton.
00:05:26.440That place is a freaking, well, there's exceptions, but that place is mostly a freaking socialist cesspool, Edmonton.
00:05:33.220But yeah, I, you know, and I love it as it is, as it was. And that is why I'm so protective of what Alberta is. I definitely appreciate it.
00:05:46.200And as I tried to study more history, more the history of what made this province become what it is today, the economic powerhouse of Canada, I've learned to appreciate it more and more.
00:06:02.120And it is something that I'm passing down to my children who come from a line of Albertans as far as multiple generations.
00:06:09.120generations but i'm trying to instill that in them that whatever alberta is that western spirit
00:06:16.460is worth preserving and that is also a big part of why pj developed started it's because like i
00:06:25.300said before i've noticed what is happening to canada guys i've realized that um what we had
00:06:33.880even just 10 years ago. It's rapidly changing, and it is not changing for the better.
00:06:40.320Any one of you who's paying attention will know that things are changing for the worse,
00:06:46.380and they're changing very rapidly, very quickly. And I'm not the only one who's noticed. That's
00:06:52.760why the independence movement is taking off. That's why there are so many Albertans,
00:06:58.100more than ever before. And it doesn't matter what the government paid media,
00:07:02.100emphasis on the government paid part. It doesn't matter what the government paid media says.
00:07:07.760This movement has never had as much traction as it has today. I live in rural central Alberta,
00:07:16.780and especially in rural Alberta, you can see the support that there is for this province to
00:07:23.180finally go its own way. People have had enough. There's a saying here in Alberta that goes,
00:07:31.420on election day it's like well they're they've already decided who's going to be the next prime
00:07:37.380minister at the border between ontario and manitoba so by the time they're counting votes
00:07:42.400here we already know who the prime minister is going to be and this is one of those grievances
00:07:46.660that albertans have had for decades for decades and decades as i've studied
00:07:51.480uh the the mistreatment the historical mistreatment from ottawa and the laurentian
00:07:59.760of leads to Alberta. I wanted to show you guys certain things here, and we're going to be doing
00:08:09.000this for about probably half hour. This is my first time, so please bear with me. But I wanted
00:08:15.280to show you guys certain things here. I'm going to see how I can share my screen. I wanted to
00:08:19.120show you certain updates when it comes to the Alberta independence movement. Those who oppose
00:08:25.980it are already let me see if i can show you guys this here already out there let me show you guys
00:08:33.020this uh are you guys able to see this hold on maybe not i guess let me add it there there you
00:08:38.380will okay so as you guys can see here this right here this guy this individual is one of the main
00:08:48.700opponents of alberta independence he's a former politician who came in basically out of nowhere
00:08:58.060uh his name is there it is thomas lukasic i've probably butchering his name but
00:09:05.100he put out this tweet a few days back where he makes an accusation
00:09:12.460a baseless accusation and i call it baseless because he doesn't have any receipts
00:09:17.420uh people have been calling him out at least those who support the alberta prosperity project
00:09:23.900to provide receipts for the claims that he's making so this individual here is running a
00:09:30.940campaign backed by the federal government to basically have a competing referendum
00:09:39.660at the same time as we're going to have that independence referendum he deposited the paperwork
00:09:45.260right before the alberta prosperity project did and the the thing with him though is that
00:09:52.300he applied under the law under the laws that were governing before which means that he's
00:09:58.300going to have to get like 600 000 signatures and he's going to have to um get it in 90 days as
00:10:05.020opposed to the pro-independence group which waited until july the 4th poetic date i know
00:10:11.740They waited until July the 4th because the numbers were going to be dropping down to, I think, 177,000 or something like that, a number around that, and 120 days to do the collection of those signatures.
00:10:25.700This individual did it first, and he expressly said that he wanted to do it to ruin the chances of the Alberta Prosperity Project for us to have our own referendum.
00:10:38.860The interesting thing, and this is what the leadership of the Alberta Prosperity Project has said before, I try to stay in touch with what they're saying, is that because the question is constitutional, the question that the Alberta Prosperity Project is posing, which is for Alberta to separate, should Alberta separate from Canada and become its own country?
00:11:00.000I'm paraphrasing here. That one takes precedent over his, which is, should Alberta stay? Should
00:11:07.080the government policy be that Alberta stays as a part of Canada? So that is a question of policy.
00:11:12.700So constitutional questions take precedent over policy. Anyway, so he tweeted here,
00:11:20.260you ask where Alberta Prosperity Project separatists get their money from?
00:11:24.240Danielle Smith's close friends, Dennis Modry, and Jeff Rath negotiated funding from Trump
00:11:31.780for their secession effort. Then he tags an article
00:11:37.280from a leftist tabloid called, you guys can see it right here, dsmog.com. I read the entire
00:11:51.060article and they're basically saying that they infiltrated one of the alberta prosperity project
00:11:57.540events which i i don't doubt these people are going to do anything and everything to try to
00:12:03.220destroy this movement to try to undermine it diminish it and it you know and discredit as
00:12:10.440much as possible so i'm not surprised and they're claiming that they spoke with dr modry and dr
00:12:15.460Modri told them that Donald Trump and the Trump administration offered them a $500 million loan
00:12:23.260for them to try to separate from Alberta, and that'll be the fund. But then they don't provide
00:12:33.080any sort of audio file. They don't provide any sort of statement directly from Dr. Modri. They
00:12:38.760didn't interview him. They didn't interview him after the statement or anything like that.
00:12:44.200And yeah, Jeff Rath here calling out the lie. He says, that is a flat out lie. It's the only way
00:12:53.580Tommy the Comey, as he's referred to by his former colleagues in the legislature, can pretend he
00:12:59.980isn't completely relevant. Of course, lies are the only thing we can expect from little Tommy
00:13:05.880hashtag alberta independence p.s it's spelled secession not cessation he went and uh he went
00:13:16.700and uh corrected him on the way he spelled it i suppose so yeah so this is the latest here
00:13:22.680these people are making accusations i told you guys they're gonna get down and dirty they're
00:13:28.640going to do all kinds of, they're going to come up with all kinds of attacks, all kinds of mud
00:13:35.460slinging. These people have the machinery of the federal government behind them. Some of us are
00:13:45.820making the mistake of underestimating their capacity. I'm not one of those people. They
00:13:53.180have the federal government behind them you think canada is just going to let alberta their cash cow
00:13:59.940leave you think they're just going to allow alberta to take the 13 trillion dollars of confirmed
00:14:09.780oil reserves there you know you think quebec is going to allow the this province that sends them
00:14:17.60013 billion dollars each year and the maritimes who depend literally you have nova scotia for
00:14:24.320those of you south of the border this is one of those small provinces in the atlantic our east
00:14:29.200coast nova scotia a third of their budget 33 of their budget comes from transfers from alberta
00:14:39.440let that sink in for a minute 33 of their annual budget comes from transfers directly from alberta
00:14:48.320alberta transfers between 20 and 25 billion dollars a year out of which 13 to 15 go to
00:14:54.080quebec alone and then the rest is you know shared by small have not provinces like nova scotia new
00:15:01.920brunswick others in the maritimes and then you have uh i think manitoba is also a recipient
00:15:07.440I think even Ontario got a little bit of equalization payments. It's this Soviet style
00:15:14.460form of wealth redistribution that we have out here in Canada.
00:15:22.080So yeah, that's what's happening. Little Tommy, like Jeff calls him, he's out there doing his
00:15:27.480thing. He's already got a website. He's got supposedly an army of volunteers. I wouldn't
00:15:52.160They're going to have all kinds of support.
00:15:55.420I wouldn't be surprised if they get the signatures.
00:15:57.800the question is which of the two referendum applications takes precedent over the other
00:16:08.660and the alberta prosperity project makes a compelling case that because our question is
00:16:15.460constitutional it should take precedent over the other one which is a policy one
00:16:21.680and ultimately they're just trying to subvert democracy if you don't agree that alberta should
00:16:28.500separate from canada vote no the question is going to be clear and simple do you agree that alberta
00:16:35.800should separate from canada and create its own nation state something along those lines yes or
00:16:41.660no do you disagree with it vote no but they don't want the referendum people they don't even want
00:16:47.560the referendum to happen. And why is that? You may wonder. Well, once a referendum begins,
00:16:54.240there's going to be a lot of attention, international attention. You better believe
00:16:59.020national attention. There's going to be so much attention on the reason why this particular
00:17:03.740portion of Canada is looking to separate. You're going to have Fox News, CNN, all the mainstream
00:17:11.380media in the United States, which by the way, they're already covering it. I've seen a bunch
00:17:16.460reports from CNN. I've seen when they're not talking about President Trump and Epstein and
00:17:20.900all that other stuff. They've done reports on Alberta independence, and I've showcased and
00:17:28.160featured some of those here. And that's the thing, is that there's going to be so much attention,
00:17:36.180and they don't want it to get to that point. Because once it gets to that point, you're now
00:17:40.640gathering international attention and more information is going to come out they these
00:17:47.120people thrive on the whataboutism okay you're gonna separate but you're gonna be landlocked
00:17:53.360what about being landlocked okay uh what about the pension what about the free health care
00:17:59.920which is the biggest scam ever there's no such thing as free free means that someone else is
00:18:05.360paying for it. There's no such thing as free and our healthcare is in shambles. When you have to
00:18:11.980wait 13 hours sitting in an emergency room between 8 and 13 hours to see a doctor, that's not
00:18:19.960healthcare. That's something else. When you have people dying in surgery weightless, which is a
00:18:27.520scandal here in Canada. Man, this is not healthcare. I pay around 40% taxes. 40% of my
00:18:36.600income goes to taxes. That's your average Canadian. A report came out recently, not sure
00:18:41.740if you guys are aware, that Canadians pay more in taxes than we pay in food, housing, and clothing.
00:18:51.660Essentials. Let that sink in for a minute, people.
00:18:57.520Now, Canadians, for those of you south of the border, your friends here north of the border, on average, pay 42% of their income in taxes, 42%.
00:19:11.720I don't even think California, California, charges that much in taxes.
00:19:19.500I don't even think Hawaii charges 42% in taxes.
00:19:22.920Can you guys, south of the border, let me know which of your states is the highest taxed?
00:19:28.760I would assume California or I think one of those Democrat states in New England or Hawaii, because obviously the paradise tax, right?
00:19:41.920And then we talk about free health care.
00:19:46.540Oh, if you're a faith donation, if you're in Florida, man, you're set.
00:19:49.840There's pretty sure there's no state income tax down there.
00:19:52.920I was in the Orlando area last year, Brevard County. Beautiful, beautiful country out there, man. Beautiful beaches, the Space Coast. Love it down there, mate. If Alberta doesn't make it, doesn't exit, I might just end up having to go south.
00:20:09.360yeah no state taxes in florida fairly certain so yeah so this this people thrive in the what
00:20:18.440about ism and ignorance uh the fact that a lot of people especially the elderly are going to be
00:20:23.700well what about health care what about pensions what about you know passports and things like
00:20:29.700that well for and being landlocked the the being landlocked one is is hilarious we're already
00:20:36.320landlocked. We're already landlocked. Here's something I wanted to show you guys. Speaking
00:20:41.480of being a landlocked country, here's one. I'll show you guys. Where is it? Where do
00:20:48.520I have it? Okay. Recently, this is little Tommy there talking. Recently, this report
00:20:59.720came out right here. This report came out right here. This is the premier of Manitoba
00:21:06.240Wab Kanu, he was recently elected out there. He's indigenous, native Canadian. And a report came
00:21:16.600out that says Manitoba Premier Wab Kanu refrained from signing a new interprovincial trade agreement
00:21:24.420between Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, citing the need for indigenous consensus before endorsing
00:21:31.900any major infrastructure project. That sounds beautiful. That's usually what they do. They
00:21:38.100find these things that are very polarizing. We need indigenous consensus first. Well, there's a
00:21:44.400whole lot of native chiefs who have come out in support of pipelines because they can buy in.
00:21:52.620They have a stake in the game, but they listen normally to the ones that oppose. Those are the
00:21:58.580ones that they listen to, to the ones that make the most noise. So, yeah, so we're already
00:22:03.480landlocked. I don't know if you guys saw the report in which I talked about Ontario, Black
00:22:09.840Dog 4 coming out to Alberta and saying that it's going to support pipelines. Then Saskatchewan
00:22:15.060recently signed on to that agreement to create a corridor to go to the north with Hudson Bay
00:22:24.120to connect with the Arctic, icebreakers there, and transport energy, oil, minerals,
00:22:29.960just a whole lot of minerals in Saskatchewan, a whole lot of uranium, which is a very important
00:22:36.140mineral, if you guys know, and then moving a pipeline all the way from Alberta to southwestern
00:22:42.520Ontario because Quebec doesn't want any pipelines through their land. They only like money pipelines
00:22:48.700from alberta to to quebec um so yeah so you got there you go you got manitoba to get to ontario
00:22:55.180you got to get through from alberta you got to get through saskatchewan manitoba then you get to
00:23:00.780ontario and you already got manitoba say no we're not interested we need to have consensus meaning
00:23:07.020we need to have a hundred percent agreement in order for us to be able to build a pipeline
00:23:12.860so say you got 10 native chiefs 10 of them and a good seven of them agree with that pipeline and
00:23:21.380its importance and they have buy-in they have a stake they got a percentage in that pipeline
00:23:27.040development if there are three rogue chiefs who got paid by the green zealots and and the
00:23:34.120and the scammers from from the whole climate change thing then there's no consensus de facto
00:23:41.700There's no consensus. So we're already landlocked. We got British Columbia, the communist premier of British Columbia saying that a pipeline to the northwest coast of British Columbia is out of the question. He's not going to support it. So we're already landlocked. Those Albertans who believe, well, we're going to be, you know, we're going to be stuck here and we're a country.
00:24:06.000Another thing is there are multiple countries that thrive being landlocked.
00:24:10.080You have Switzerland, which is the best example.
00:24:13.160Switzerland is one of the richest countries on Earth.
00:24:30.660The U.N. grants landlocked countries access to ports as long as it's a legitimate nation state, which that's what we're pushing for Alberta to become.
00:24:42.520You have other European countries like Austria, Czech Republic that are doing really well.
00:24:50.880The whole pension thing, not sure if you guys are aware, but the pension thing is an easy one.
00:24:58.580Alberta over-contributes to the Canada pension plan. Over-contributes.
00:25:06.840About 35 to 40% in over-contributions because we have a younger population,
00:25:14.380a younger working population. The rest of Canada has a more older people, right? So a lot of them
00:25:20.380are retiring. So their draw in the CPP, the Canada pension plan, is much higher than Alberta with
00:25:27.500this worker population being much higher and less people retiring. So there's a report which came
00:25:35.940out from the Fraser Institute showing that we as Albertans would get about 45% more. I think the
00:25:42.640number, the amount of retirement money you would get staying in CPP is around 270 something thousand.
00:25:49.920But if we had our own pension with equivalent funding for what we contribute to the CPP, be like on the low end, like 350, on the high end, like 420.
00:26:03.940So these are the questions that we need to answer for people.
00:26:08.420These are the things that why I started this channel.
00:26:13.620It's to answer those questions and those doubts that people have.
00:26:18.500alberta this is a fact here alberta it would be much better off financially they can't dispute
00:26:25.660this that's why they come up with things like oh trump is sending them half a billion dollars
00:26:30.180for them to separate from canada they're always going to bring trump into the picture
00:26:35.180that is how the liberals pull pull this curtain over the eyes of canadians
00:26:40.740was by bringing in the boogeyman orange man bad orange man bad orange man bad orange man bad and
00:26:47.500they said that over and over again, over and over again. They hammer that on with the help of their
00:26:53.520bodies in the government paid media. By the way, those of you south of the border, your president,
00:26:59.640Donald Trump, just canceled all funding for public broadcasters. Canada, on the other hand,
00:27:08.220Mark Carney just promised an increase for the CBC, our public broadcaster.
00:27:13.820So you guys south of the border, God bless you all, are moving in the right direction thanks to your president.
00:27:21.620PBS and all these publicly funded fake news organizations are getting defunded south of the border.
00:27:31.020While we here are increasing our taxes and increasing our contribution to be propagandized or to get propaganda.
00:31:38.440canada exported 30 billion to china and imported brought in 87 billion worth of goods from china
00:31:49.160so we have a deficit a very pronounced trade deficit with china they export a lot more than
00:31:58.600they import from us 30 billion to their 87 that they send to us on the other hand canada with
00:32:05.880America, here we go, we exported, we sent to Americans well over a half a trillion dollars
00:32:11.720worth of goods when south of the border from Canada. We produced 593 billion dollars worth of
00:32:19.480goods and we sent them to our cousins south of the border. In return we also imported nearly half a
00:32:28.040trillion 484 billion dollars from the usa uh we imported worth of goods the reason why i like this
00:32:38.280post right here is because they bring up china the canadian government and their bodies in the
00:32:44.040government paid media have been pushing really hard for canada to realign itself with both europe
00:32:49.400the eu to be more specific and china there was literally a post that i published um
00:32:58.040that i published on my channel talking about from the from the globe and mail which is one
00:33:03.080of those government paid newspapers here where they say maybe it's time that canada changes
00:33:10.920its relationship with china changes its relationship with america and incorporates more
00:33:16.280with china believe it or not that's one of the main newspapers in our country they're talking
00:33:21.640about Canada becoming more aligned with China in 2025, while $87 billion we import from them
00:33:32.800and we only are able to sell to them $30 billion worth of goods. That is not even a tenth of what
00:33:39.600we sell to the Americans. We sell to you guys south of the border $593 billion, yet the whole
00:33:49.220elbows up you know chicken dance people are trying to stick it to trump by becoming the most difficult
00:33:58.420group of people to negotiate with trump made those declarations very recently that canada
00:34:04.900is the most difficult he called us nasty he called canadians nasty it's right here
00:34:10.340this is if not all we haven't really had a lot of luck with canada i think canada could be one
00:34:20.660where they'll just pay tariffs not really a negotiation uh we're working very diligently
00:34:26.660with europe the eu which covers a lot of turd you know a lot of territory a lot of countries
00:34:32.260and that's the big one right now we have the confines of the deal with china
00:34:36.180we haven't we haven't really uh we don't have a deal with canada we haven't been focused on
00:34:44.000letters go out they're a page and a half that means they have a deal it's done they pay that
00:34:50.240tariff and that is a contract essentially and they can come into the country they're going to
00:34:55.120pay a tariff i'm going to keep it minimal i'm going to keep it you know i'm not looking to
00:34:59.240hurt countries i could i could do that too but i'm not looking to do that but when that letter
00:35:04.460goes out that august 1st is going to come and we will have most of our deals finished if not all
00:35:10.780we haven't really had a lot of luck with canada i think canada could be one where they'll just
00:35:17.660pay tariffs not really a negotiation we're working very diligently with europe so as you guys can
00:35:26.380hear there president trump basically explaining how difficult canada has become to deal with
00:35:34.460They're not even trying to negotiate. Sometimes you wonder what their agenda is. I'm fairly cynical when it comes to liberal politicians, really all politicians in general, but especially liberal politicians in Canada, because they've shown us time and time again just how corrupt they are.
00:35:52.420I still can't believe Canadians voted them in again after the 10 years we've had.
00:35:57.520Canada has genuinely and factually gotten worse in every single measurable metric.
00:36:04.780There ain't a single Canadian who can point out one thing that got better over the past 10 years.
00:40:49.060I mean, you can visit Calgary, I suppose, but stay rural. Edmonton is pretty socialist. It's
00:40:53.740not a representative of who we are. Richard Rogers, PJ The Belt, what do you do as a
00:41:02.920livelihood when you aren't on the channel? My friend, I'm a transportation guy. I drive for
00:41:07.840a living. That's why I do mostly voice. I do it from the vehicle when I'm driving commercial
00:41:13.920vehicles. I'm not a semi-truck driver. I'm a hot shot guy, deliveries and stuff like that. And
00:41:19.200I'm also a shuttle driver. I drive buses on demand and stuff like that. So that's why you
00:41:24.420hear more podcast format. I bring my microphone with me. I share the news of the day and you hear
00:41:29.180my voice sharing that information. So that's what I do. I'm a transport guy. TCC Gaming. I just got
00:41:37.480here hey man kevin's kevin i i'm gonna butcher your name my friend kevin stankiewicz um i
00:41:45.200appreciate your support man you're one of our members thank you so much when will the vote be
00:41:49.320the vote is being pushed for 2026 and i believe that the alberta prosperity projects is pushing
00:41:55.660for spring of 2026 they were pushing for 2025 jeffrey rath especially is impatient he's like
00:42:03.800And I mean impatient in a good way. He just wants to get this done. He wants to put it to a vote because he has confidence that Albertans have just had enough. And he doesn't want this to just, you know, to kind of be quelled by propaganda. But we're looking at 2026, highly likely.
00:42:20.780uh where where where okay question sarah s after alberta poolside of canada independence or joining
00:42:31.760usa what are possible other provinces that may follow if i had to take a guess the closest would
00:42:38.420be saskatchewan fairly obvious they are the most closely aligned with us um politically culturally
00:42:47.080and just mentality, you meet a person from Saskatchewan, people call them Saskatchewanians.
00:42:53.700I just call them people from Saskatchewan. They are very aligned with Albertans, especially those
00:43:00.980who live in the rural areas. It's oil and gas over there too. They don't have as big of a deposit
00:43:07.520as Alberta does, confirmed deposits, but agriculture, some of the biggest deposits,
00:43:14.360if not the biggest, of potash, which is a material used for agricultural production.
00:44:13.240Maybe they take a chunk of what we're entitled to in order to keep Banff and Jasper and Waterton Lakes and Buffalo all the way in the north.
00:44:22.840I don't see how, like, we're an independent country.
00:44:25.460Like, take the USA, for example, and you have Yellowstone, and it's owned by England.
00:44:32.280You know, the former, because you guys used to be a colony of England, right?
00:45:02.100We probably need to be independent for some time,
00:45:06.200Although some people are saying that going independent might be more difficult and dangerous than joining America.
00:45:12.580If we join America, we're joining the best constitution in the world and we have the protection of the most powerful military in the world.
00:45:18.940So I see because take Texas, for example, Texas didn't join the union.
00:45:23.440They were a country for like nine years before they joined.
00:58:23.600And I want to shout out as many people as I can here.
