00:00:00.000 The pipeline will only be advanced with the following prerequisites being met.
00:00:05.080 The first is the building of pathways, renamed the Oil Sands Alliance.
00:00:08.400 Secondly, it requires that British Columbians share substantial economic and financial benefits
00:00:13.940 from projects that include or impact them.
00:00:16.880 And thirdly, it requires fully respecting Canada's duty to consult under Section 35 of the Constitution.
00:00:24.120 This is a presidential permit authorizing the Bridger Pipeline, sir.
00:00:27.680 This is a transporter pipeline similar to the old Keystone XL pipeline.
00:00:32.180 It will significantly expand our ability to move oil around North America, oil and gas around North America.
00:00:38.020 And that's a scrap that I'm willing to have with the federal government.
00:00:40.940 This is their work, and they have failed to do this.
00:00:43.700 We've been asking for them to do this since the 1930s.
00:00:46.240 This is another one of those irrefutable reasons Alberta would be much better off independent from the mess of a country that is today's Canada.
00:00:53.260 and hear me out you got all this pantomime the photo ops and all the whole show that they got
00:01:00.380 going on here in canada for a pipeline the whole mou memorandum of understanding between alberta
00:01:07.140 and canada basically a deal that the province of alberta has to make with their overlords in
00:01:14.040 ottawa in order for them to allow alberta to export its own resources even though the constitution
00:01:21.780 already allows it but again they wipe their butts every day with the canadian constitution so there's
00:01:26.660 no surprise there but then you see the contrast with our partners south of the border our friends
00:01:33.540 in montana and wyoming and how president trump is treating alberta and alberta resources despite
00:01:39.780 everything that the mainstream media will have you believe that trump just wants to destroy the
00:01:44.020 canadian economy and everything else maybe he wants to destroy the eastern canadian economy but alberta
00:01:48.900 he's always viewed it in a favorable eye alberta and western canada in general particularly alberta
00:01:54.260 and saskatchewan you see trump has already paved the way for a one million barrel a day pipeline
00:01:59.940 from alberta to montana and into wyoming alberta premier danielle smith taking to social media to
00:02:07.380 applaud the approval saying the united states is our most important trading partner and that alberta
00:02:13.140 will continue to deliver energy to help secure north american energy dominance all right president
00:02:19.140 trump signing a presidential permit to revive portions of the keystone pipeline creating
00:02:24.740 thousands of jobs after the project was scrapped by the biden administration 2021 the bridger
00:02:30.820 pipeline expansion will be able to carry more than half a million barrels of oil a day
00:02:35.380 from canada through the united states boosting america's energy dominance and lower gas prices
00:02:40.900 The transporter pipeline similar to the old Keystone XL pipeline will significantly expand
00:02:46.340 our ability to move oil around North America, oil and gas around North America. It's a huge
00:02:51.640 deal in terms of long-term energy dominance and energy security. Slightly different than the
00:02:55.980 last administration. None of the humiliating rituals that Alberta has had to put itself
00:03:01.280 through in order to get favor with the Laurentian elite types and Mark Carney and his whole cabinet,
00:03:07.660 which is basically trudeau 2.0 none of that has been needed our premier having to sign this mou
00:03:13.680 this deal that is not worth the paper it is written on none of that has been needed president
00:03:18.540 trump already signed the permit and they're pretty much ready to go start building that pipe south of
00:03:25.000 the border and this is exactly what i'm trying to say here it's not necessarily that alberta needs
00:03:29.800 to join the united states is that alberta would be much better off as an independent country because
00:03:33.480 Alberta wouldn't need to go groveling to basically go beg for a pipeline and virtue signal and have 0.99
00:03:42.260 the Indian chiefs who are all basically corrupt and part of the system and benefit while their 0.99
00:03:48.060 people are living in misery. They're blocking projects that would make their people get jobs 0.99
00:03:52.840 and have more prosperity and be wealthier. But again, they benefit from the status quo. So of
00:03:58.240 course, they want to oppose everything that signifies progress for the country because
00:04:02.600 that's their marching orders they get their they get their marching orders from anti-oil
00:04:07.800 individuals anti-oil organizations and from the federal government who also happens to be
00:04:12.820 anti-development anti-oil anti-alberta generally speaking i think it's a positive um you know in
00:04:17.760 a world where we haven't had a lot of positives and i think uh this needs to be an all of the
00:04:21.720 above approach not only uh with the bridger pipeline approval keystone xl or the now known
00:04:28.500 and the South Pole project, we need that to move forward as well.
00:04:32.500 Alberta and Wyoming have talked a lot about energy prospects that we can do together.
00:04:38.380 This is just one of those.
00:04:39.820 Yeah, I saw that you've taken some meetings with various ministers
00:04:42.600 from the Alberta government over the last number of months.
00:04:45.640 Could you characterize for Canadians who are watching tonight
00:04:48.180 your view of how important that integration is
00:04:51.280 and where you see the future of it going?
00:04:54.260 I think we share a lot of common values.
00:04:56.900 We both understand how important it is that we use energy correctly, that we continue to improve the technology, and that we, in fact, can power the nation of this continent.
00:05:12.120 And being able to work together on these issues is something that we've done historically, and I think it just makes us both move forward much more aggressively.
00:05:20.580 if you look at the the benefits that can derive from the kind of relationship that we have
00:05:26.820 and the ability to be able to share those energy resources you understand that this country has
00:05:32.340 really no problem being able to power our world so as you guys saw right there wyoming is ready
00:05:37.940 to build that pipeline so is montana they're all ready we don't have to go through the whole
00:05:43.460 humiliating ritual that we're going through with canada basically begging mark carney to
00:05:48.580 allow alberta to build a little pipeline to the west coast the united states has even indicated
00:05:54.020 multiple times and the most recent one was with secretary of treasury scott besant where he said
00:06:00.180 you know what if alberta wants to build the pipeline to the west coast just come to us
00:06:04.420 we'll get you we'll get you to the washington coast well alberta is a wealth of natural resources
00:06:10.500 but they won't let them build a pipeline to the Pacific.
00:06:15.820 I think we should let them come down into the U.S.,
00:06:20.380 and Alberta is a natural partner for the U.S.
00:06:24.500 They have great resources.
00:06:26.540 The Albertans are very independent people.
00:06:30.680 Rumors that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.
00:06:35.280 We know how to get stuff built down here,
00:06:37.360 And if you come out here, we'll get that pipeline built in partnership with you.
00:06:41.180 We'll treat you like equals.
00:06:42.920 And this is, again, like I said at the beginning of this video, another one of those irrefutable reasons why Alberta would be much better off as an independent country.
00:06:50.140 Because we wouldn't need approval from Ottawa, who truly does not want to see Alberta develop.
00:06:56.160 Because the developed, stronger, more economically strong Alberta is a threat to them.
00:07:01.260 They view it as a threat to their power.
00:07:04.280 And their goal is to keep Alberta shackled to this sinking ship.
00:07:08.480 So make sure that as we have a referendum coming up, you remember that.
00:07:12.300 Remember that your pocketbook would be much better off in an independent Alberta because there would be no ideology, none of that BS here.
00:07:19.960 We would build a country anew that respects the rule of law, actually allows industry to develop unencumbered, unhindered.
00:07:27.740 and where we can actually build things, get jobs, get to work, pay lower taxes, have a stronger
00:07:33.660 dollar. Remember, YouTube doesn't like conservative channels like this one, but if you do, remember to
