00:00:00.000Premier Smith, the Southwell Pipeline to the U.S. is fully subscribed.
00:00:04.080It has signed contracts with so many oil producers, it will be full for the next 20 years.
00:00:08.800The Kearney Pipeline project has no customers signed up.
00:00:11.740Isn't it obvious that no one in the industry actually believes this is going to be built?
00:00:15.480Certainly not enough to put their own money into it.
00:00:18.320Well, thanks for the nice neutral question.0.98
00:00:21.880You know, we think Alberta might be the ideal place to get and fill those requirements,
00:00:27.900fill those needs that we believe that we have, but at the same time, if we can't strike a deal
00:00:33.320with Alberta, we will go to other places in the world and we'll find other sources of oil.
00:00:40.540This is another one of those irrefutable reasons Alberta would be much better off
00:00:44.800independent from the mess of a country that is today's Canada. And hear me out, you got all this
00:00:50.160pantomime, the photo ops, and all the whole show that they got going on here in Canada for a
00:00:56.140pipeline, the whole MOU memorandum of understanding between Alberta and Canada, basically a deal that
00:01:04.700the province of Alberta has to make with their overlords in Ottawa in order for them to allow
00:01:11.200Alberta to export its own resources, even though the constitution already allows it. But again,
00:01:17.380they wipe their butts every day with the Canadian constitution, so there's no surprise there.
00:01:21.460But then you see the contrast with our partners south of the border, our friends in Montana and Wyoming, and how President Trump is treating Alberta and Alberta resources. Despite everything that the mainstream media will have you believe, that Trump just wants to destroy the Canadian economy and everything else. Maybe he wants to destroy the eastern Canadian economy, but Alberta has always viewed it in a favorable eye. Alberta and western Canada in general, particularly Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:01:48.360You see, Trump has already paved the way for a one million barrel a day pipeline from Alberta to Montana and into Wyoming.
00:01:57.600Alberta Premier Danielle Smith taking to social media to applaud the approval,
00:02:01.860saying the United States is our most important trading partner
00:02:04.860and that Alberta will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.
00:02:11.280All right, President Trump signing a presidential permit to revive portions of the Keystone pipeline,
00:02:16.980creating thousands of jobs after the project was scrapped by the Biden administration in 2021.
00:02:22.660The Bridger pipeline expansion will be able to carry more than half a million barrels of oil a day
00:02:27.560from Canada through the United States, boosting America's energy dominance and lower gas prices.
00:02:33.240For the prime minister, but the premier might want to weigh in as well.
00:02:35.980On the pipeline, are you still prepared to pursue it over the objections we've heard from the man standing next to you?
00:02:42.220Well, two things. One, I'll just repeat what I just said in French, which is that more
00:02:50.760detailed discussions of the pipeline, I think, are best kept to later today. I will have
00:02:57.500an availability with the Premier of Alberta. Secondly, I'll refer back, and of course the
00:03:02.720Premier, the tanker ban remaining in place, proceeding with carbon capture associated
00:03:11.120or other emission reduction measures associated with that and full partnership and consultations
00:03:18.300partnership over time with First Nations, so Section 35 equivalent partnership.
00:03:23.840North America is a huge deal in terms of long-term energy dominance and energy security.
00:03:31.400Slightly different than the last administration.
00:03:34.880None of the humiliating rituals that Alberta has had to put itself through in order to
00:03:38.880get favor with the laurentian elite types in mark carney and his whole cabinet which is basically
00:03:45.120trudeau 2.0 none of that has been needed our premier having to sign this mou this deal that
00:03:51.200is not worth the paper it is written on none of that has been needed president trump already signed
00:03:55.680the permit and they're pretty much ready to go start building that pipe south of the border and
00:04:01.600this is exactly what i'm trying to say here it's not necessarily that alberta needs to join the
00:04:06.240the united states is that alberta would be much better off as an independent country because
00:04:09.480alberta wouldn't need to go groveling to basically go beg for a pipeline and virtue signal and and0.93
00:04:17.120and have the indian chiefs who are all basically corrupt and part of the system and benefit while0.90
00:04:23.600their people are living in misery they're blocking projects that would make their people get jobs and0.93
00:04:28.800be and have more prosperity and be wealthier but again they benefit from the status quo so of course
00:04:33.920they want to oppose everything that signifies progress for the country, because that's their
00:04:38.420marching orders. They get their marching orders from anti-oil individuals, anti-oil organizations,
00:04:45.340and from the federal government, who also happens to be anti-development, anti-oil,
00:04:49.840anti-Alberta, generally speaking. Alberta is ideal. We have the infrastructure in place already,
00:04:55.220you know, accelerate the pace of oil going through the pipelines and those types of things.
00:05:00.340But if Canada decides, no, we'd rather ship that oil somewhere else and we don't want to ship it to the United States, again, that's a decision that Canada can make.
00:05:09.320But America is not going to wait for that decision.
00:05:12.520We will go to other places in the world to look at where we can get that oil from.
00:05:17.640Could you characterize for Canadians who are watching tonight your view of how important that integration is and where you see the future of it going?
00:05:25.280I think we share a lot of common values.
00:05:28.020It's a wonderful thing to be able to have that cross-border communication.
00:05:32.860Alberta and Wyoming have talked a lot about energy prospects that we can do together.
