An update on all things Alberta independence and other interesting topics. Final draft fiscal plan to be released on Monday, June 23rd, press conference to be announced on June 26th, byelection in Olds, Didsbury and Three Hills, and much more!
00:00:00.000Hey everybody, it's PJ. Here's an update on all things Alberta Independence and other interesting topics. Let's watch.
00:00:12.980Okay, so we have a tweet put out by Jeffrey Rath on X.
00:00:18.100Breaking, Alberta Independence Headquarters, final draft fiscal plan to be press-released on Monday, June the 23rd.
00:00:26.000Press conference to be announced on June 26th.
00:00:31.000So this is that document that I made a video about the other day where the Alberta Prosperity Project and its leadership has released basically a budget for what an independent Alberta would look like fiscally speaking.
00:00:44.000So economically, the amount of revenue that it would generate, the amount of money that we would save without having to send all the money that we send out to Ottawa to distribute to other ungrateful, I would say, provinces, including Quebec.
00:01:00.320So they're going to be releasing it on Monday, June the 23rd, and there's going to be a press conference, the news and all that.
00:01:09.180Here you have another tweet from Jeffrey Rath where he tags the Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, where he says,
00:01:17.120Danielle Smith will use or misuse her authority under the Referendum Act to call referendums on pensions and policing to be held at the same time as an independence vote.
00:01:29.760But she won't use her power to call an independence vote on a standalone question.
00:01:34.900Her base is getting pretty fed up with the game playing that she and Rob Anderson are engaged in.
00:01:42.520That's one of the accusations that is being thrown Danielle Smith at this time is that she's going to be using the referendum day to ask a whole bunch of other questions,
00:01:54.320which is going to obviously muddy the waters on the Alberta independence issue.
00:02:00.020And the thing is, the whole Clarity Act, the law that governs the referendum question on how, you know, how Alberta could gain its independence legally says one of the main things.
00:02:14.720And that's why it's called the Clarity Act is that the question has to be very clear, concise, specific to avoid confusion.
00:02:21.840Otherwise, the courts are basically going to throw it out.
00:02:25.180So Danielle Smith, if she indeed is planning on having other questions being asked at the same time, that doesn't look good.
00:02:33.960It's a big red flag because, again, you're just going to be confusing the electorate, confusing the confusing the voters with a whole bunch of different questions.
00:02:43.900Here we have the Alberta Prosperity Project official account on account on X Twitter saying.
00:02:50.480And the funny thing is, an independent Alberta takes care of the policing and pension questions in one solid swing.
00:02:59.640So there's no need for more questions.
00:03:07.180An independent Alberta by default means that we would need to come up with our own policing plan, our own pension plan, our own health care plan, and so on and so forth.
00:03:17.320So asking redundant questions at the same time as you're asking the main most important question, which is Alberta independence.
00:03:26.600Should Alberta become its own country and separate from Canada?
00:03:29.460Then you're just, again, muddying the waters, making things more confusing.
00:03:34.580And I wonder why she wants to do that.
00:03:54.800A by-election is a local election at the provincial level.
00:03:57.640For those of you south of the border and in other countries that may not know, I don't know if there's an equivalence there.
00:04:02.400But basically it's an election to elect a member of the legislature or the legislative assembly at the local level and the U.S. would be at the state level, the state legislature.
00:04:12.860This one is an important one because there's a candidate who's running specifically on an independent platform for Alberta independence.
00:04:23.300His name is Cam Davis, and then there's a whole bunch of shenanigans that happen with the governing party, which is Daniel Smith, Daniel Smith party, the ruling party in Alberta, where they basically parachuted this candidate.
00:04:38.300They didn't go through the normal process, the normal procedure of having the grassroots elect this candidate.
00:04:45.520They instead handpicked her and put her in there.
00:04:48.480She's supposed to be a farmer from the area and all that.
00:04:51.900But again, why wouldn't you let the electorate choose her instead of handpicking her and putting her in there?
00:04:58.880Biden is facing a crisis and it's a crisis of democracy.
00:05:04.300If you allow the United Conservative Party of Alberta to appoint a vaccine pushing pronoun using socialist as your UCP representative,
00:05:17.780without any consultation with the grassroots of this writing, without even allowing a debate.
00:05:26.780If you, as the people of this writing, do not stand up and say, no, you do not get to dictate democracy to us.
00:06:21.060And then, again, it's no coincidence that this particular by-election happens to be the one where there's a candidate running on an independence platform.
00:06:32.420Another thing in particular about that area of Alberta, Old Stitsbury, Three Hills, is that in the past, I believe in the 80s,
00:06:40.320they elected a candidate who was running as an Alberta independist or souverentist.
00:07:00.020Now, there's allegations of her having her pronouns on her social media.
00:07:03.740There's allegations of her having to do with the whole vax mandates and stuff like that.
00:07:10.600I don't have the facts on that, but that's what's being allegated.
00:07:14.120You, in this writing, have an opportunity to send a message not just to Danielle Smith, not just to Alberta, but one that will resonate across the globe.
00:07:28.100Because there's a candidate running on independence, definitely there's a lot of attention to this particular by-election.
00:07:35.820There's attention at the provincial level, absolutely.
00:07:39.780But there's also national attention, and I would dare say international attention.
00:07:43.540If a candidate running on Alberta independence just a couple of months after a federal election with all the uproar we're hearing about Alberta independence and how the support for the movement continues to grow,
00:07:58.820So if a candidate purely running on a platform that is independence-based, Alberta independence, that will send, that will make huge news, that will make big-time news, that will be a big statement for sure.
00:08:16.360And we have this document, which I shared on my YouTube channel.
00:08:20.700It's basically a graphic that explains why it is in the best interest of all three groups who support Alberta independence, or all three who have different stanzas on it, to support yes.
00:08:34.440Because there's a group who believe that Alberta should look for a better deal within Canada, not separate altogether, but become more sovereign and independent within Canada.
00:08:47.240They have to vote yes, they should vote yes, because if you want Alberta to reform Canada, well, if Alberta, it says here, because if Alberta breaks from Canada, other provinces will follow, and Ottawa will literally go bankrupt.
00:09:19.380If Alberta left, Ottawa goes bankrupt, because Ontario, which is the biggest economy total,
00:09:27.860the biggest total economy in Canada, couldn't sustain what Alberta's been doing.
00:09:33.380Even though Ontario, because of the amount of the people, most people live in Ontario, the population that they have is the biggest economy in Canada, provincially.
00:09:43.080They do not generate the amount of money that Alberta does and contributes to Confederation through equalization payments.
00:09:53.360Alberta has a younger population, more productive, and therefore they produce more revenue for the country.
00:10:00.000So Ontario and Ontario wouldn't want to do it either because they're already running deficits and they're not even doing half of what Alberta is doing when it comes to equalization.
00:10:07.280So the country is going to fall apart if Alberta leaves.
00:10:10.680And another thing is the fact that other provinces are going to want to leave.
00:10:14.760Specifically, I'm looking at Saskatchewan.
00:10:30.200You want Alberta to stay independent from any other country.
00:10:33.220You should also vote yes for obvious reasons.
00:10:35.780Don't even have to explain that, right?
00:10:37.280You got to vote for independence if you want independence.
00:10:39.560And then there's those who want Alberta to become a part of the United States, whether as a state, the 51st, the coveted 51st state, or like Trump would say, the cherished 51st state, or as a territory protectorate, whatever you may call it, then you have to vote yes for independence.
00:10:57.900That's the first step for Alberta to try to join the union is to become independent.
00:11:04.020You cannot, I mean, you could, the U.S. is the most powerful country on earth.
00:11:08.800It could pretty much do whatever it wants, but you can't legally incorporate a territory of another country.
00:11:19.500They have to become independent, and then there's a whole process to be followed.
00:11:22.760The only people that should vote no to Alberta independence are the people who believe that the country is doing well the way it is.
00:11:30.960They believe that Canada, with the highest housing crisis, where our homes cost anywhere between twice as much to three times more than they cost just south of the border, where you have working people visiting food banks, working families that require and need a food bank in order to survive.
00:11:51.960The drug crisis, the drug crisis, the out-of-control immigration that we're having out here, the fact that our children and our youth cannot find jobs anywhere, there's just no jobs for our youth.
00:12:05.180If you believe that all of that is okay, and things should stay the way they are, then you vote no, you vote against independence.
00:12:15.660You think Canada's perfect just the way it is? Well, vote against independence.
00:12:19.620But if you believe that Canada needs reforming, if you believe that Alberta should just go its own way and not worry about Canada anymore, or if you believe that Alberta should become a part of the United States, all three of these options, you should be voting yes for independence.
00:12:42.040Latin America and the Caribbean warming faster than global average, the Arctic warming nearly four times, Asia is warming faster than the global average, Africa warming faster than the rest of the world, the US is warming 60% faster than the world is, Europe warming almost twice as fast, Russia climate is hitting up faster, Australia is warming faster than the global average.
00:13:14.100Those of you who are even older than me know that they've been saying this for 30, 40 years, since the 80s, the world is, the sky's falling, the world is ending, we're all going to burn up, they used to call it global warming, now they're calling it something else.
00:13:31.000And look at this graphic, this picture right here, they just in 2017, if you look at the date, they used to show the temperatures with normal colors, more like just a satellite picture, more like normal colors.
00:13:46.140And they were telling you what the weather was going to be, and you have temperatures there ranging from 20 degrees to 32 degrees, that's probably Celsius, if it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit, that'd be pretty damn cold.
00:14:03.360But yeah, probably Celsius, so 20 degrees to 32 degrees, you know, you're looking at a summer, right, your average summer temperature, and you have the exact same graphic, or the exact same map in the picture, the bottom picture, in 2022, and the colors have completely changed.
00:14:22.520The colors are looking like the world is on fire, the world is burning, the irony of this is that the temperatures in 2022 are actually much lower on average than they were in 2017.
00:14:37.460So it's actually, the world is actually cooled in the five years in between, you're looking at an average of 30 something in the top picture, temperature wise, and at the bottom, most of them are in the low 20s, 22.
00:14:52.52022, 22, 22, 22, 23, 25, low to mid 20s, but the picture, you look at that color, and mentally you're thinking, oh my gosh, the world is on fire, the world is burning, I need to pay more carbon taxes, I need to get me an EV, I need to stop eating so much red meat, so it's all about control people.
00:15:15.860Meanwhile, in Alberta, first day of summer in Alberta.
00:15:22.520You got snow, you got snow, first day of summer in Alberta, and you got snow all over the place, man.
00:15:30.640Yeah, I heard that in southwestern Alberta, it was snowing heavily, closer to the foothills and the mountains.
00:15:40.280I don't know about that global warming that they keep talking about, I guess maybe the carbon taxes, we paid a lot of carbon taxes, we paid way too much carbon taxes, and now the world is cooling.
00:15:51.780I guess we achieved what we were looking for, we wanted to change the weather by paying taxes to the government of Canada, and it worked out, people.
00:15:59.480We did it, we did it, round of applause, we did it, we managed to cool the planet by paying more taxes, and here's another funny one, another ironic fact.
00:16:11.860Antarctica gains ice for first time in decades, reversing trend of mass loss, study finds.
00:16:18.080Yeah, the world is actually getting colder, you know, it's been raining quite a bit out here in central Alberta, which I'm super thankful for too.
00:16:29.040We were having a lot of forest fires, there was a whole bunch of arson happening too, and that's factual.
00:16:35.820I made a report on this, on this channel, and I provided sources.
00:16:41.180The RCMP arrested two individuals in Saskatchewan, there were several more arrested in Winnipeg.
00:16:48.580A bunch of, 65% or something like that, of fires were human caused out here in Alberta, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it's always arson, there's also the possibility that someone was just negligent.
00:17:00.820You know, they threw a cigarette butt out the window, they didn't properly put out a fire when they were camping.
00:17:06.680There's a lot of instances like that, but there's also people who have ill intentions, and they're doing, you know, doing bad things in our wooded areas.
00:18:16.780We've been trying to build a pipeline from the west, from the prairies, to the East Coast.
00:18:22.980If you guys south of the border can believe this, Alberta cannot supply, even though we're sitting on the third largest oil reserves in the world.
00:18:32.400Alberta, however, cannot supply oil to our own East Coast, to New Brunswick.
00:18:38.320New Brunswick, through their Irvine refinery, brings in millions and millions of barrels of oil yearly from Saudi Arabia.
00:18:51.760But if Alberta tries to sell oil to its own country, there will be all kinds of red tape, all kinds of issues, all kinds of blockades and problems.
00:19:45.200It is a fact that the emissions reporting requirement on Saudi oil being sold in Canada is less stringent than for Canadian oil being sold in Canada.
00:19:59.120Who in this Liberal government wants to stand now to defend this incomprehensible policy?
00:20:05.580The Honourable Secretary of State for rural development.
00:20:16.960We support oil and the development of all energy options.
00:20:22.160But we also support the indigenous community, Mr. Speaker, because we realize as a country we must engage the indigenous community, for even for them, this is a journey of economic and social justice.
00:20:34.660The benefits of anything we do, oil or gas or development, that engages indigenous people will be long-lasting, Mr. Speaker.
00:20:41.160We must reach all the people of our great country, including the indigenous community, in every corner of our country.
00:20:48.900What does that have to do with the fact that Saudi oil comes right into our East Coast without any issues, yet Alberta oil is blocked at every single chance?
00:21:03.340They put all kinds of red tape and restrictions on our own oil, Canadian oil, right?
00:21:10.540We're part of this country, Team Canada, right?
00:21:13.720All kinds of restriction on our energy.
00:21:16.180But the Saudis bring their tankers all up in our East Coast.
00:21:21.100And this guy brings up something about indigenous people and all that completely to distract.
00:21:27.400To distract the word salad having nothing to do with energy development.
00:21:32.200Indigenous people would benefit from more Canadian energy development.
00:21:36.520And a lot of them, many of them, I would dare say majority of them, actually support creating more opportunities right here in Canada by developing our own energy.
