00:00:00.000 give communities a direct stake in the projects and to what a virtue signaling buffoon uh again
00:00:07.080 uh i i think uh questions uh what is it with liberals and the in the stuttering uh
00:00:13.860 justin trudeau was insufferable like that too it's like come on man i'm a trucker transport guy
00:00:20.260 and i'm more articulate than you are believable okay so it's supposed to be pipeline announcement
00:00:27.140 day today in Canada, more specifically in Alberta, the federal liberals have been dangling this
00:00:34.620 little carrot in front of Albertans for months now, for the better part of a year, saying that
00:00:39.720 we're going to get this magical pipeline that is going to make all of Alberta's problems
00:00:44.040 for decades and decades. All of those problems are going to somehow go away because of a West
00:00:50.160 Coast pipeline. And I mean, I'm not going to lie to you. The government of Alberta has been
00:00:55.600 participating in the bs you know in the in the gas lighting of albertans making him think that
00:01:01.760 this pipeline is somehow an indication that canada is looking to redeem itself and to treat alberta
00:01:08.000 fairly and anyone who follows uh what i've been talking about for the past year when it comes to
00:01:13.280 alberta's issues in confederation in canada know that a pipeline is nothing but a little crumb
00:01:19.760 and this is what mark carney had to say about it let's have a listen we're also clear that today's
00:01:24.800 canada bc agreement will maintain the federal north coast tanker ban there you go the the
00:01:34.080 premier of alberta has been promising that that's going to go away there's going to be some sort of
00:01:37.600 exemption or something like that for alberta to be able to export its oil to this part of bc this
00:01:44.240 part of british colombia which is actually closer to asian markets and we make it much more efficient
00:01:49.440 to export alberta oil to japan south korea and other asian countries but now the tanker ban
00:01:57.200 this self-imposed limitation that no other oil producer has except canada continues to be in
00:02:03.840 place with a proposed route of a new trans provincial pipeline under the bilateral
00:02:09.600 agreement with canada and alberta we will build inclusively in true partnership with first nations
00:02:17.600 including those here alongside the salish sea that means indigenous ownership to give communities
00:02:24.300 a direct stake in the projects and to what a virtue signaling buffoon he had other things to
00:02:30.820 say when the press asked him about how this indicates that alberta will not be able to
00:02:35.580 export out of the northern coast of bc and this is what he actually had to say uh again uh i i think
00:02:41.660 questions uh directly with respect to a proposal from alberta are best answered this afternoon i
00:02:47.340 I just it's it's their proposal, their pipeline, obviously working to, you know, and I want to reinforce.
00:02:55.200 What is it with liberals and the in the stuttering?
00:03:00.160 Justin Trudeau was insufferable like that to say a million us in between every other word.
00:03:05.520 It's like, come on, man, I'm a trucker, transport guy, and I'm more articulate than you are.
00:03:11.220 Believable. Of course, what the premier said a few moments ago in this spirit of cooperative and collaborative federalism.
00:03:17.340 uh to make things possible a huge range of things possible uh so uh you can draw your own conclusions
00:03:23.700 so there you have it you can draw your own conclusions you can put two and two together
00:03:28.180 and realize that he's basically telling you that there's going to be no pipeline to the north
00:03:31.900 and there's already people talking about there might be a pipeline to the south
00:03:35.940 danielle smith has created this expectation that there's going to be a pipeline and she's betting 0.99
00:03:41.060 the house on there being a pipeline thinking that that's going to be a solution to alberta's
00:03:46.060 separatist sentiment, the Alberta independence movement. The reason why a pipeline to the north
00:03:50.540 is important, in my opinion, is twofold. Number one, if it's allowed, if it's approved and they
00:03:55.440 remove the tanker ban or they give Alberta an exemption, it indicates a willingness to negotiate
00:04:00.980 in good faith with Alberta, a willingness to accommodate Alberta and recognize the contributions
00:04:05.860 that this province continues to give to this country, though undeserved. And secondly, it
00:04:13.200 actually makes a difference let's take a quick look at this map right here and you got to remember
00:04:17.020 this is a map in 2d the planet is a sphere so there's the curvature of the earth so you have
00:04:24.300 edmonton here this is alberta right here and then you have the west coast of canada which is
00:04:28.560 basically british columbia this line here indicates alaska i know the border's weird you'd think this
00:04:35.320 line right here would be where alaska ends but no alaska gets a big chunk of the coast here too
00:04:41.120 and it actually ends right around here that's the international boundary so what alberta is hoping
00:04:45.960 to do at least the government of alberta is to the oil comes from right around here edmonton the
00:04:50.940 pipeline anyway and it will come out through the north coast go up up up up up and get out of
00:04:56.520 kitty mat out here or prince prince uh rupert somewhere up in the north coast the existing
00:05:03.420 pipeline trans mountain goes out of down here that even though it looks small you're looking at a very
00:05:09.140 large scale distance. You're talking about four to five hour distance, probably 500 kilometers.
00:05:13.940 And again, due to the curvature of the earth, exporting out of here puts you a lot closer to
00:05:20.100 Asian markets in Japan and South Korea, which is where Alberta is hoping to export its oil.
00:05:27.240 So it's a lot more convenient to export out of here also because these are deep water ports.
00:05:32.880 Vancouver, Port of Vancouver is also overcrowded. So there's a multitude of reasons why it'd be a
00:05:38.220 lot better to export out of here but of course the liberals are not interested they're more 0.97
00:05:42.740 interested in virtue signaling and then there's the native indians a lot of them who many of them 0.98
00:05:47.880 who are paid by foreign institutions foreign organizations that pay them and are anti-oil 0.60
00:05:53.700 to protest and block every single project that is in the national interest let alone in alberta's
00:05:58.920 interest so carney pretty much put the nail on that coughing saying that there's the tanker ban
00:06:04.100 remains in place another crazy thing about this tanker ban is that alaska continues to export oil
00:06:11.080 without any issues alaska keeps using these exact same waters and these exact same passages
00:06:17.820 that are right here in front of you down through anchorage in the valdez port and they go down
00:06:24.520 the west coast including bc's coast to get to seattle over here and to get to oregon and and
00:06:31.080 California. Only Canadian tankers carrying Alberta oil are not allowed to use these waters here.
00:06:39.240 Alaska continues to use the water, no problem. There are 2 million barrel a day tankers that
00:06:44.640 are going in these waters every day. And these lines are not representative of the specific
00:06:48.740 routes, but it indicates that they're using these exact same waters that you can see on your screen
00:06:53.180 right here that Alberta oil is not allowed to use. In order to go from Anchorage at the Valdez
00:06:59.320 port to seattle washington and other ports in the u.s west coast you can see massive tankers like
00:07:07.160 this one going up and down that coast every single day transporting millions of barrels of oil up and
00:07:13.960 down that coast and again you can see these are the exact same waters it's just one is on the
00:07:19.080 on one side of the border and the other ones are on the other side of the border and you have major
00:07:24.920 massive tankers going up and down that coast all the time mark carney's government the liberals
00:07:30.040 here in canada have made a million prerequisites for alberta to get this pipeline that is going to
00:07:35.080 end up solving nothing albertans who have decided that they've had enough of canada and they want
00:07:39.960 to see their province become an independent country don't think a pipeline is anywhere
00:07:44.200 near enough to satisfy the long-standing issues that alberta has in confederation but the contrast
00:07:50.600 that i want to outline here is that while carney promises and makes a million empty promises and
00:07:56.760 dangles this little pipeline dream in front of albertans a pipeline has already been approved
00:08:01.800 south of the border about a month or two ago you have president trump signing an executive order
00:08:06.440 that effectively approves alberta's latest pipeline this is a presidential permit authorizing
00:08:12.600 the bridger pipeline sir this is a transporter pipeline similar to the old keystone xl pipeline
00:08:18.760 will significantly expand our ability to move oil around around North America oil and gas around
00:08:24.120 North America. It's a huge deal in terms of long term energy dominance and energy security.
00:08:28.760 Slightly different than the last administration. They wouldn't sign a pipeline deal as we have
00:08:35.320 pipelines going up. So that's what's going on out here. Do you think Alberta will get
00:08:39.000 that pipeline to the West Coast or is it all a pipe dream? Let me know in the comments.
