If Alberta were to be independent, it could pretty much be assured that America would still want to buy all that oil, no matter whether Alberta was independent, sovereignty would remain a province, and guess what? Well, guess what, the feds are desperate to drag Alberta into the same mess the rest of the country is drowning in.

00:00:00.000 Now a major province is considering separation.
00:00:04.040 That's how well things are going up north.
00:00:06.940 And by the way, when you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done with a ruler,
00:00:12.280 and that's what it was. Some guy sat there years ago and they said, brah.
00:00:15.980 Well, when you take away that and you look at that beautiful formation,
00:00:19.760 there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that.
00:00:24.340 America's been a very reliable and positive partner for Alberta.
00:00:30.700 And we think that's a great relationship, and we should continue that relationship and grow it.
00:00:37.020 If Alberta were to be independent, it could pretty much be assured that America would still want to buy all that oil,
00:00:44.640 no matter whether Alberta was independent, Sovereignty Association, remained a province.
00:00:49.160 Let's say the vote is a yes vote.
00:00:51.000 which, I mean, we track this. My view on this is Danielle Smith is standing up for her 0.89
00:01:02.740 constituents. She's going to bring more wealth, more jobs, and more prosperity to Alberta. I 1.00
00:01:08.520 think they're what we would call a donor province. They send more money to Ottawa than what they get
00:01:14.380 back alberta pretty much the last free corner of canada and the one place in the country that
00:01:21.500 hasn't completely lost its mind and guess what ottawa hates that of course the feds are desperate
00:01:28.360 to drag alberta into the same mess the rest of the country is drowning in but here's the twist
00:01:33.460 alberta is the one province that can actually lead the west out of this disaster
00:01:39.320 Saskatchewan's itching to follow, but Alberta's got to lead the way.
00:01:43.760 And of course, the critics are already screaming.
00:01:46.660 Funny how the people who oppose freedom always seem to be the ones who never want regular folks to prosper.
00:01:53.620 But this time, it's different.
00:01:56.440 This movement isn't fading out after a few months like before.
00:02:00.300 No, no, support is climbing.
00:02:02.620 The latest survey now shows that 45% of Albertans want independence.
00:02:08.220 That's nowhere near fringe anymore. That's nearly half of the province saying,
00:02:13.100 we're done with Canada and they're pushing for independence. So let's dive in.
00:02:21.340 Danielle Smith recognizes it. She talks about it. I think she just put out a post this week
00:02:27.260 from Ciro Week. Great conversation with our Secretary of the Interior and our Secretary
00:02:32.220 of energy. You know, we want to ship 2 million more barrels of oil per day to the U.S. America's
00:02:39.300 been a very reliable and positive partner for Alberta. And we think that's a great relationship
00:02:46.900 and we should continue that relationship and grow it. It's a very interesting approach to
00:02:52.060 the Trump administration. Here's why we're really, really good and why you should consider us moving
00:02:58.120 forward. That's a pretty, from our perspective, that's a pretty good approach to our trade team
00:03:04.760 and to the president. I should tell you, she's being called a traitor for having that kind of 0.96
00:03:09.640 a constructive rapport with the U.S. A lot of authoritative pundits and even other politicians
00:03:17.580 have said by not pricking back at President Trump, by trying to be constructive, she has
00:03:25.620 sold the country out, what would you say to them? They can say whatever they want. My view on this
00:03:31.620 is Danielle Smith is standing up for her constituents. She's going to bring more wealth, 1.00
00:03:38.200 more jobs, and more prosperity to Alberta. And I think when you bring jobs and prosperity
00:03:43.280 and wealth to Alberta, I think they're what we would call a donor province.
00:03:49.440 they send more money to ottawa than they what than what they get back well like i said before
00:03:56.140 albert and saskatchewan will not be denied the days of just going with the flow and hoping for
00:04:01.660 the best outcome are over these two provinces are united in standing up to the woke liberal
00:04:07.180 government out in ottawa and they're not taking no for an answer anymore particularly when it
00:04:13.380 comes to the development of their oil and gas industry. You see, for the longest time, the
00:04:19.400 Liberal government here in Canada has made it its mission, basically, to eradicate oil and gas
00:04:25.360 in the name of implementing some sort of imaginary green utopia in a country, of course, where
00:04:32.020 temperatures are unbearably cold for six months out of every year. As a result of this, the Canadian
00:04:38.640 government has caused enormous damage to the economies of both alberta and saskatchewan
00:04:44.480 for well over a decade affecting millions of livelihoods and people who call this two provinces
00:04:50.320 home but the west has had enough and they're taking matters into their own hands what we're
00:04:55.760 talking about tonight is ottawa over do you want to hear the answer ottawa overtaxing us i mentioned
00:05:02.880 that at the beginning of the evening that they we are our our program costs are 70 percent of all
00:05:09.760 tax dollars we only collect 40 percent ottawa collects 60 percent and then they use political
00:05:15.520 means to transfer it alberta year after year has 20 to 25 billion dollars that is siphoned out of
00:05:22.800 our system to go to ottawa so that it could be spent mostly in quebec but also in other places
00:05:28.800 THAT IS THE NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS
00:05:29.960 IN THE BORDER.
00:05:30.900 I DON'T KNOW IF THE VOTE IS
00:05:33.520 THE VOTE LIBERAL.
00:05:34.580 FOR SIMPLICITY'S SAKE,
00:05:36.360 LET'S COMPARE OURSELVES TO OUR 0.59
00:05:38.240 NEIGHBOR TO OUR NORTH, CANADA.
00:05:40.000 IN 2015, THEY GOT JUSTIN
00:05:41.780 TRUDEAU'S VERSION OF PROGRESSIVE
00:05:42.920 GOVERNANCE AND WE GOT TRUMP'S
00:05:45.240 POPULISM.
00:05:45.600 AND EVEN WITH THE BIDEN
00:05:47.400 INTERREGNUM, AMERICA HAS SURGED
00:05:49.560 PAST THEM.
00:05:50.840 START WITH INCOME. 1.00
00:05:52.140 AMERICANS ARE DRAMATICALLY 1.00
00:05:53.640 WEALTHIER THAN CANADA AND THE
00:05:55.620 GAP, THAT IS ONLY WIDENING.
00:05:57.220 ALABAMA, WELL, THEY'RE NOT TIED
00:05:59.240 WITH ALABAMA, THEY'RE BEHIND
00:06:00.580 ALABAMA.
00:06:01.080 SAME POPULATION AS ALBERTA, BUT
00:06:03.900 LOWER UNEMPLOYMENT, STRONGER
00:06:05.780 INDUSTRY, AND MORE PRODUCTION IN
00:06:07.780 ALABAMA.
00:06:08.280 TODAY WE LEARN THAT MERCEDES-BENZ 1.00
00:06:10.180 IS INVESTING $4 BILLION IN THE
00:06:12.820 STATE WITH MORE THAN $7 BILLION
00:06:14.860 PLANNED ACROSS U.S. OPERATIONS.
00:06:16.940 WOW.
00:06:17.740 SO CANADA IS LOSING JOBS TO THE
00:06:20.660 DEEP SOUTH OF AMERICA.
00:06:21.900 THE SAME DEEP SOUTH, BY THE WAY,
00:06:23.580 THAT SNOOTY CANADIAN ELITES LOVE 0.88
00:06:25.420 TO LOOK DOWN ON.
00:06:26.340 And Canada's response is, apparently, to sell out to the communist Chinese. 0.90
00:06:31.460 They're opening their automobile market to Chinese EVs at preferential rates.
00:06:36.980 What could go wrong?
00:06:38.520 Canada has gone from declaring China as their biggest security threat to this.
00:06:44.120 I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership
00:06:47.080 sets us up well for the new world order.
00:06:53.260 The Canada most of the world knew about, which was a country known for its safety, high standard of living, strong middle class, and respected around the world, no longer exists.
00:07:05.480 That's the unfortunate but self-evident reality many Canadians are forced to contend with nowadays.
00:07:12.660 Out of all Canadians, few are more understanding of this situation than Albertans.
00:07:17.940 The population of this province has seen the writing on the wall for at least a decade.
00:07:23.260 While most of the rest of Canada has been willfully marching into their own demise
00:07:27.880 by electing and re-electing the people responsible for the country's decay,
00:07:33.580 Alberta, as well as Saskatchewan, have rejected socialism overwhelmingly every chance they get.
00:07:40.380 The unfortunate thing is, in Canada, the system was designed to do what it does
00:07:46.500 regardless of what Alberta or Saskatchewan may or may not want.
00:07:49.900 This has been the reality for over 100 years, and it seems that finally a large enough group
00:07:56.120 of Westerners have had enough and are ready to break the chains.
00:08:00.300 And on the immigration front, their problem is even worse than ours. 0.83
00:08:03.580 Populations are rising faster than housing supply.
00:08:07.280 Costs are going up.
00:08:09.080 Systems are under strain.
00:08:11.580 Now, a major province is considering separation.
00:08:15.160 That's how well things are going up north.
00:08:18.060 But, heck, at least their progressives have their priorities straight.
00:08:21.760 What happens, by the way, when an actual woman cuts in line ahead of a fake trans woman at one of their conferences?
00:08:29.240 Well, they throw down their gender equity cards. 1.00
00:08:32.540 I was standing here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.
00:08:36.800 That's my point of privilege.
00:08:37.960 This card was used in an inappropriate matter.
00:08:41.540 And while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity, even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender.
00:08:49.940 These cards for individuals like myself, who identify as a black woman, have no value outside of this space.
00:08:58.760 I'm dropping my gender equity card and raising you to woke. It's crazy. 1.00
00:09:04.440 But you could actually imagine that happening, right, in Mom Donnie's New York or Karen Bass's L.A.
00:09:08.940 Alberta doesn't have to vote to separate before we start seeing an economic impact, a social impact, a political impact.
00:09:16.780 And so the fact that this has has gained steam, I think, is surprising.
00:09:21.120 These petitions are building huge teams. They're building volunteers.
00:09:24.860 They're building databases of people who are on, you know, believe in what they're doing.
00:09:29.140 And so, again, this is doing it's galvanizing the argument on both sides.
00:09:33.500 So should this go to a referendum? They're already this is the organizing that needs to be done.
00:09:38.460 we're already seeing happen in real time indeed keep it up albertans they're worried and they're
00:09:44.160 paying attention now let's keep showing up in droves to the town halls and rallies all over
00:09:49.120 our great soon-to-be republic let's sign the petition and bring others with us let's make it
