Rebel News Podcast - Alberta election eve： Four thoughts on Jason Kenney's likely landslide victory

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. This is your last full dose of pre-election news about the Alberta provincial

00:00:07.280 election. I think it's everything but a fait accompli that Jason Kenney will rout the socialist

00:00:13.360 hordes. I think it's going to be a slaughter, frankly. I keep thinking of that line from

00:00:18.760 Barrett's privateers. Barrett was crushed like a bowl of eggs and the main truck took off both

00:00:24.480 me legs. I think it's going to happen to Notley without the take off me legs part.

00:00:28.100 Hey, by the way, before we get to the show, can you do me a favor and become a premium

00:00:33.480 subscriber? It's eight bucks a month. You get the video version of the show, which I think is pretty

00:00:37.840 cool. You get access to Sheila Gunn-Reed's show, David Menzies' show, and you support The Rebel.

00:00:42.020 I'd be really grateful if you did that. Go to therebel.media slash shows. All right, here's my

00:00:47.220 all Alberta episode. You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast. Tonight, what does the change in

00:00:55.080 government mean for Alberta and for the rest of the country? It's April 15th, and this is

00:00:59.320 the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:02.580 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:06.280 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:10.360 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:14.940 bloody right to do so.

00:01:16.200 The other day, I made six suggestions. Some of them were easier than others to do

00:01:25.680 on what Jason Kenney could do as premier to fight back against anti-oil and gas extremism

00:01:31.780 by environmentalists. Some of it would be as simple as instructing a cabinet minister to do it under

00:01:37.200 what's called a mandate letter. That's a fancy way of saying a detailed job description that the

00:01:43.160 premier gives each cabinet minister, or just issuing an order in council that is just to

00:01:48.200 decree something. No vote needed for certain things. Setting up a special police force to

00:01:53.420 counter environmental extremism, just like police right now have a special vice squad or a fraud

00:01:58.820 squad. Specialist police, experts in the given area of law enforcement to stop the vandalism,

00:02:03.680 mischief, trespass. Another would be to use Department of Justice lawyers to go after the white-collar 0.98

00:02:09.560 aspects of environmental extremism, especially abuse of the Canadian and U.S. tax laws by lobbyists

00:02:15.540 who pass themselves off as bona fide charities. Another idea was using Canada's version of the

00:02:20.100 U.S. RICO statute that targets organized crime. Go after groups like Greenpeace that commit crimes

00:02:25.920 as part of a fundraising model. And then there's passing new laws like the South Dakota law against

00:02:31.240 riot boosting. Anyways, I had six ideas. I won't go through them again. Frankly, Kenny can start some of

00:02:36.780 this literally on his first day in office. That's what Trump did. I don't know if you remember. He was

00:02:42.380 ready to go on day one, the day of his inauguration. He got right to work. He made so many policy

00:02:47.800 announcements, decisions in the first hours and days after he was inaugurated, just to set a new tone.

00:02:54.080 Some of it was merely symbolic, I grant you, but others were real things. You'll recall that he approved

00:02:58.340 the Keystone XL pipeline and the Dakota Access pipeline within, I don't know, hours of becoming

00:03:04.500 president. He had obviously been planning those weeks in advance. He just did them quickly as a

00:03:10.560 symbol. The Dakota pipeline is working great, by the way. It's been up and running for more than a year.

00:03:14.480 I'm jealous. I think Kenny needs to take steps on day one and he needs to root out NDP plants in the

00:03:22.060 government, like the Obama holdovers who undid Trump in so many ways the past few years, caused so much

00:03:27.760 trouble. So I'd like to talk about today a little bit, a list of challenges Kenny will face that have

00:03:34.760 nothing to do with policy ideas, really. They have to do with mischief and underminers once he becomes

00:03:41.620 the premier, which I think is quite certain tomorrow. I think there are troubles coming his way, but each

00:03:47.160 of the troubles are actually an opportunity if he handles them right. Maybe that's obvious.

00:03:52.180 Obviously, all of this is contingent on him winning the election, but I know enough about my home

00:03:55.860 province to know that it's a done deal. Rachel Notley and the NDP destroyers, it's not even

00:04:01.000 passionate anymore, the whole thing. It's resolved. That's different. I think the people of Alberta,

00:04:08.100 I don't think there's any drama. I don't think they're hot-blooded anymore. There's no contest.

00:04:12.020 I think they're just resolved. We're going to throw them out. I know the left-wing media and

00:04:16.880 Notley's union front groups have been making a lot of fights. This is a very dramatic election.

00:04:20.400 No, it ain't. I mean, they've been focusing on non-core issues. They're obsessed with student

00:04:27.680 sex clubs in high school, so that's what they are. Now, I know the NDP cares a lot about that,

00:04:32.840 but I don't think that's in the top 10 list of any Albertan unprompted. There's just no debate left

00:04:39.680 that all that's left is finding out the exact numbers, just how many votes and how many ridings

00:04:44.980 Jason Kenney will win. I think he could get up to 70 out of the 87 ridings. Okay, so if that happens,

00:04:52.880 what should he do? I think on the very first day, he needs to fire a lot of holdovers from the Notley

00:04:57.940 era. He needs to purge dozens, probably hundreds of people, entire agencies if need be. Take Ed

00:05:04.560 Whittingham, an anti-oil sands extremist formerly with the Pembina Institute, a lobby group that takes

00:05:09.320 foreign money to attack the oil sands. Rachel Notley just appointed him to the Alberta Energy Regulator.

00:05:13.800 That's the quasi-judicial tribunal like an energy court, really that approves or denies pretty much

00:05:19.140 anything involving oil and gas. Whittingham has to be fired on the very first day. The same way that

00:05:26.280 Doug Ford, the new Ontario Premier, cleaned house at one of its problem childs, Ontario Hydro, the huge

00:05:32.480 politicized boondoggle pact with appointees by his predecessor, Kathleen Wynne. Do you know that

00:05:39.680 Doug Ford also canceled more than 750 wind and solar contracts signed by the Wynne government?

00:05:47.580 Obviously, they were junk, extremely expensive, many of them patronage gifts to connected insiders,

00:05:52.160 all of them a signature liberal platform. Just cancel them. Boom. Gone. Let them see if they want. 1.00

00:05:57.020 Get out. Gone. You're done.

00:05:59.560 Kennedy needs to immediately fire the Notley underminers. They shouldn't be that hard to find. 1.00

00:06:03.480 Many of them only moved to Alberta from other provinces after her surprise win in 2015. To me,

00:06:08.600 they're epitomized by this guy, Nathan Rotman. He's Notley's chief of staff. He came from Toronto,

00:06:14.600 where he was a junior staffer on the losing campaign of a hard left-wing candidate for mayor.

00:06:21.000 Her name was Olivia Chow. I was actually Jack Layton's widow.

00:06:23.240 Seriously, some doorknocker for the third-place loser in a Toronto city election became the

00:06:29.660 chief of staff to the premier of Alberta. Had he even visited Alberta before he was given that job?

00:06:36.180 Obviously, he's a political staffer and would be let go anyways, but there are dozens, maybe hundreds

00:06:40.640 of such interlopers, carpetbaggers, as they were called in the U.S. after the Civil War. Fire them 0.99

00:06:46.100 all. And quick, just all of them. Gone. Get out. Not just to send a message. Not just to save money.

00:06:52.660 But otherwise, they will become malicious holdovers like Donald Trump faced when he took

00:06:56.600 office. The entire collusion myth that was finally buried by Robert Mueller a few weeks ago was juiced

00:07:02.180 up by Obama appointees who stuck around under Trump and colluded against Trump and used their access

00:07:09.320 and information and connections and resources to plant little time bombs for him, to leak about him,

00:07:14.020 to set him up. They'll absolutely be doing that to Kenny and his MLAs. They need to all be fired.

00:07:20.520 When in doubt, fire. And given that Notley hired, what? Was it 50,000, 60,000 excess bureaucrats in

00:07:27.040 the past four years? I think the default bias should be to over fire, not under fire. When in doubt,

00:07:31.960 throw him out. And again, I would hope that Kenny would have some sort of transition team in place

00:07:38.200 who was already working on these things while Kenny was campaigning. There are probably things that need

00:07:42.320 to be done right away to cancel abominations like Alberta's carbon tax, or like the war on coal plants

00:07:48.660 in the province, like other agreements that Notley signed on behalf of the government. Cancel,

00:07:52.480 cancel, cancel. There should be a hundred canceled in the first week. Cancel that bizarre last ditch

00:07:57.000 purchase of billions of dollars in railway tanker cars, for example. Just cancel it. Cancel the kooky

00:08:03.900 tricks and programs and grants like the free solar panels in a province where there's snow on the roof

00:08:08.420 half the year. Cancel it. And all the while, a no shredding order should go out to bureaucrats. 0.51

00:08:13.700 Don't shred any documents. You know they're going to break the law, but you should try and enforce

00:08:18.160 it anyways. I've told you before about an old Roman concept from the ancient days of damnatio

00:08:25.600 memorie. It's Latin for damn the memory, condemn the memory. It was a shocking totalitarian exercise

00:08:31.360 by Roman emperors, especially when it came to family feuds. An emperor would send out an order that

00:08:36.800 anything, everything having to do with a damned person was to be obliterated. So if someone was to

00:08:43.280 have their memory damned, condemned, every single law approved by that condemned former politician

00:08:50.620 was to be nullified and reversed. Every appointment they had ever made, every decision they had ever

00:08:55.020 made was to be reversed. It was as if they never existed. And what was Orwellian about it was that

00:08:59.740 it went further. Their pictures were scraped off. You see the missing picture there? Someone on person?

00:09:05.480 Pictures were scraped off painting. Statues were smashed. It was very Stalinistic in its style.

00:09:09.860 Obviously, we don't believe in that. But there was nothing done in the past four years in Alberta

00:09:13.840 that shouldn't be undone. Nothing. No appointment made should be kept. No spending, no taxing,

00:09:20.700 no decision that shouldn't be undone. I could be wrong here and there. Out of the thousands of

00:09:26.600 decisions, you could find one or two tiny exceptions. But that's the point. The default should be to

00:09:30.640 damnatio memorie. Delete everything. Reset everything. You could probably count the exceptions

00:09:36.720 on one hand's fingers. More to the point, that has to be the spirit. That has to be the corporate

00:09:42.100 culture now. Not just switching team colors. Not just new personnel. Raise it to the ground.

00:09:49.900 Now, obviously, you're going to have an entrenched opponent to that. Namely, those same public sector

00:09:53.740 unions who were so enriched by Notley, who were so grossly overrepresented in Notley's caucus,

00:09:58.180 and who spent lavishly as third-party advertisers to assist Notley in the recent campaign. I mean,

00:10:03.080 hell, Notley's own husband is a government union leader. Half her MLAs were union bosses,

00:10:09.740 including this. I'm sorry, I'm going to use the word freak. He's a freak. Rod Loyola. I'm sorry,

00:10:14.860 I'm going to flick this on you. You have to watch this. Do not look away. Take a look.

00:10:18.240 About to hit the mic quiet, subversively. Coming at you with ingenuity, breaking down,

00:10:24.960 indoctrination of capitalist commodification that's taking over your mind. Attacking you all the time

00:10:30.800 through daily media blips like drive-by hits. The clip just hit the ground. We've been broken and

00:10:36.300 bound, tied up behind enemy lines. Incarcerating, confined. To break free, we need to have an urban

00:10:41.980 guerrilla mentality. Observe your enemy. Analyze strength and weaknesses. Use the same ammunition.

00:10:49.380 Oh, man, I forgot my lines.

00:10:52.140 Yeah. I swear to God, that guy actually became an MLA under Rachel Notley. Seriously. It's the same guy

00:10:58.420 here. Longly Hugo Chavez. Longly the values that he stood for. Compañero Presidente Hugo Chavez.

00:11:10.620 I know you think I'm kidding. You think there's no way that guy could be a Notley MLA. I swear to God,

00:11:18.580 he is. Anyways, yeah. So expect Rod Loyola to return to a life of, well, he's not exactly a

00:11:24.500 businessman, is he? Expect him to return to a life of being a perpetual student and a union organizer.

00:11:30.380 And to scream bloody murder about any cuts to come. Yeah, fair enough. But this election wasn't

00:11:34.300 just a referendum on Notley. It was a referendum on her friends. Out of province interlopers like 0.53

00:11:39.920 Nathan Rotman. No one cares about them. And the in-province profiteers, the public sector unions,

00:11:44.660 that didn't care about the job losses in the private sector because there was a true economic boom in the

00:11:49.360 public sector. Seriously. Well, nearly 200,000 Albertans suffered from the destroyed oil patch.

00:11:53.900 It's never been better to be a civil servant in Alberta. So yeah, they're going to squawk. So what?

00:11:59.460 They just lost. Elections have consequences. It'll be interesting to see if Kennedy has the fortitude

00:12:04.800 to stare down the union. So when they march in the streets, when they put their students on strike in

00:12:09.180 the schools, Ralph Klein stared them down. He brought in modest cuts 25 years ago. Klein didn't

00:12:16.340 blink. I wonder if Kennedy will. So you've got the holdovers, some of whom will quietly slink back to

00:12:22.680 Toronto or Vancouver. Others who will simply continue their campaign from outside power, the labor unions

00:12:27.380 and the front groups. Now they have all sorts of sources within the government, holdovers that won't

00:12:31.280 be rooted out, who will leak information in them. I mean, the battle will continue. It always does with

00:12:35.520 these radical leftists. That's the Alinsky way. The second challenge, though, is the media.

00:12:41.700 Kennedy loves the media, or at least he loves playing along with them. It worked for him pretty

00:12:46.740 well when he was a cabinet minister in Ottawa because he gave the media what they wanted.

00:12:51.000 He was the immigration minister. He gave record high immigration levels and

00:12:54.800 subsidies to ethnic groups. What media would fight against that? They loved it. 0.92

00:13:01.120 Kennedy took that cooperative, even submissive approach into Alberta,

00:13:04.020 and it didn't work for him so much. I mean, the CBC put a record setting. I said seven to you

00:13:09.380 before, but look at this. There are now eight journalists on this one story here. The CBC has

00:13:14.720 eight journalists digging into a single scandal on Jason Kennedy that he colluded with a stalking

00:13:20.620 horse candidate to attack Kennedy's rival in the UCP leadership race a couple years ago. I think it

00:13:25.880 looks bad. And I think if they did what they said was done, it was unnecessary. But seriously, so what?

00:13:31.400 No one cares. We have an NDP to kick out now. That's the most important thing. That's the only

00:13:36.700 thing. But the fact that the CBC has put not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,

00:13:41.360 not seven, but eight, eight, eight reporters on that one story, more than they have on the SNC

00:13:46.560 live line story, shows you all you need to know about the media now. They were obsessed with the

00:13:52.260 student high school sex clubs. They were obsessed with things Jason Kennedy said when he was a student

00:13:57.120 himself 30 years ago, they were obsessed with any minutiae or trivia from some candidates' Facebook

00:14:02.860 pages years ago. It was quite something. Even my old Sun News colleague, Charles Adler, I think he went a

00:14:09.080 little bit crazy. Remember this? The misogynistic crap, the homophobic sewage. And they're saying

00:14:18.400 people who hate LGBT people are highly attracted to the party and running for the party. But the people

00:14:26.580 who are LGBT people, the targets of the hatred, they're not running for the party. Many people in

00:14:32.480 the LGBT community right now, Mr. Kenney, feel you're using this family as a campaign prop. Why are so many 1.00

00:14:39.300 people who bash gays and bash women, why are so many people who bash Muslims attracted to the United

00:14:48.580 Conservative Party? Why are the knuckle draggers attracted to your party? If you're wondering what that is, 1.00

00:14:55.720 Jason Kenney agreed to a half hour interview with Charles Adler. Why would Kenney even talk to any

00:15:02.460 media outside Alberta to begin with in the campaign? And why would he talk to haters like

00:15:06.940 the CBC state broadcaster to begin with? Didn't Donald Trump teach us that you don't have to bend

00:15:11.040 the knee to the fake news media, not in the age of Twitter and Facebook? Kenney is so obviously afraid

00:15:16.920 of what the CBC thinks of him. I don't know all the details of all the candidates that Kenney threw

00:15:21.500 overboard. I think it was all exaggerated. But it was like Kenney gave the CBC itself a veto over his

00:15:27.240 campaign. No one cares. No real people care. The media went absolutely wild against this guy,

00:15:34.260 for example, a Kenney MLA named Devin Drieschen. Because look at that. Oh my God, everybody. Oh my

00:15:39.660 God, look, he wore a Donald Trump Make America Great Again hat. Oh my God. You know, he's from

00:15:44.920 rural Alberta, south of Red Deer, Innisfail. Do you think that weird Trump derangement syndrome that

00:15:49.840 absolutely grips the CBC and Charles Adler and the Toronto Star, do you think they feel the same way

00:15:55.100 about it? Innisfail, Alberta. I say that because Kenney, of course, has given the rebel the cold

00:16:00.560 shoulder, even though I should tell you the majority of his candidates and Kenney himself

00:16:04.280 are rebel supporters, as in their subscribers or they otherwise interact with us, our petitions,

00:16:09.660 our social media. And this isn't about me or the rebel, but it's my point. We have close to

00:16:13.640 100,000 supporters in Alberta. Why would Kenney care more about what the CBC in Toronto thinks about

00:16:19.140 him than what 100,000 of his own grassroots Alberta members and grass tops activists care? Why does he

00:16:24.560 care what Wendy Mesley or Rosemary Barton think of him? Why does he care about what Charles Adler

00:16:28.580 says? Why did he stick around that interview for half an hour to be abused like that?

00:16:33.400 I'm worried about this because the media and the public sector union bosses will be the true

00:16:37.600 official opposition in Alberta going forwards. And you need a certain contempt for the media,

00:16:41.760 as Donald Trump has, if you're going to survive. I don't think Kenney has that. I think he actually

00:16:45.740 tries to please them. I predict that will be a big problem for him. But there's another problem I

00:16:50.140 predict too. I call it the entryists. Entryists. For the past four years, the NDP has got rich off

00:16:56.060 Alberta. I mean, the party itself, NDP carpetbaggers like Nathan Rotman and Brian Topp, the Toronto

00:17:01.700 union boss who was Rachel Notley's first chief of staff, and say, Sapporo Berman, who got paid to be

00:17:06.420 on Notley's advisory board. And same with others too. Ed Whittingham, got that sweet Alberta energy

00:17:13.740 regulator gig. They all got personally rich. Personally. Mainly the lobbyists. So I remember,

00:17:19.380 well, back in 2015, all of a sudden, all these oil companies and construction companies and

00:17:23.460 property developers didn't know anyone in the new government. How would you know a new Democrat?

00:17:27.300 You think you knew Rod Loyola, that weirdo beat poet? I don't, oh my God, I got to get in touch with

00:17:32.860 Rod Loyola. No one knows him. Yeah, no one knows him. He's a hobo. So for 40 years, these oil companies

00:17:38.580 knew who to call when you had a question or a problem or to ask a favor. Suddenly they didn't know

00:17:43.560 who to call. And so all of a sudden, absolute losers. Some of them literally failure to launch

00:17:50.840 socialists, literally still living in their parents basements. Like the other guys at that

00:17:56.080 beat poet. They bought a suit and said, um, I'm a lobbyist now. I'm an NDP lobbyist now. So well,

00:18:03.880 company, if you pay me a hundred million, hundred thousand dollars, I can help you navigate through

00:18:09.460 this new world. I can hook you up. You need me? Just give me a hundred grand retainer. It happened

00:18:12.980 and they got paid. Dozens of Rod Loyola's hobo friends. Some became millionaires. Of course, 0.94

00:18:20.560 they didn't actually help the oil companies. They actually pacified them. They told the old

00:18:24.420 companies, don't rock the boat, cooperate, don't argue, don't publicly criticize, stay quiet on the

00:18:28.400 carbon tax. We'll help you out. So these millionaire NDP hobo lobbyists actually suffocated what should

00:18:34.580 have been a robust oil and gas response to Notley. I remember my friends at CAP, the Canadian

00:18:39.360 Association of Petroleum Producers, telling me they thought they, I think we can work with

00:18:43.260 Rachel Notley. We've got some real NDP lobbyists on the side and it's not going to be so bad.

00:18:49.100 So they decided not to publicly criticize her. How'd that work out? How did that work out four

00:18:53.660 years later? What a disaster. My point today is, look, you have all these progressive conservative

00:18:59.560 lobbyists who have been lean for four years, haven't had the hundred grand retainers from oil

00:19:05.860 companies. They're hungry for the fat of government again, all lining up for the gravy

00:19:09.920 train. Now, being a lobbyist is legal and helping companies connect to the government is fine in

00:19:15.640 principle, I suppose. But many of these bring with them the old corruption of the red Tory

00:19:19.520 politics with them. The old, I don't know, Jim Prentice, Ed Stelmack, Alison Redford Tories.

00:19:25.760 There's a whole subset of conservatives who actually deeply believe in the carbon tax or carbon pricing or

00:19:31.160 pollution pricing, as Gerald Butts and Trudeau call it. Preston Manning himself, I hate to say it,

00:19:35.780 drank that Kool-Aid. Failed Ontario PC leader, Patrick Brown, totally bought into it. It's not

00:19:40.400 what real grassroots conservatives want, but it's what lobbyists want who get huge contracts to push

00:19:45.720 it on the government. Even if the past few days, I've seen would-be lobbyists jockeying to get a piece

00:19:54.960 of the action as moderate sensible conservatives, not like the deplorables who are actually going to get

00:19:59.720 Kennedy elected tomorrow. These are the entryists I'm worried about. Some of the red Tories in 0.96

00:20:04.880 Kennedy's own caucus and a lot of the perpetual hangers-on and would-be lobbyists who were thrown

00:20:09.580 out by the Wild Rose Party. They snuck back into the United Conservative Party, and I can assure you

00:20:14.280 there's a lot more money in being a pro-carbon tax lobbyist than being against it. It's one of the

00:20:19.060 reasons Preston signed up. Something to watch out for, not just for us, but for Kennedy himself.

00:20:24.120 But I suppose the last thing, the last challenge is in some ways a good one, a healthy one,

00:20:29.380 is Justin Trudeau. You see how he's railing at Ontario's Doug Ford every day these days? Him and

00:20:36.220 Catherine McKenna. It's amazing. You'd think Justin Trudeau and Catherine McKenna were running to be the

00:20:41.060 Premier of Ontario or something. Just endless. I can't understand it. Ford's most popular thing

00:20:45.600 is to be against the carbon tax. McKenna and Trudeau are pushing a hated tax. It's weird to me.

00:20:51.880 But boy, they're coming for Doug Ford, excuse me, hammer and tong, and he fights back. I love it.

00:20:56.900 Well, if there's anyone they hate more than Doug Ford, it's Jason Kenney, especially if he keeps

00:21:02.660 his promise to repeal Alberta's carbon tax and helps the fight nationally. At least in Ontario,

00:21:08.280 Trudeau thinks, well, maybe he could win some seats federally. Trudeau knows he can't win in Alberta,

00:21:12.040 so he's going to go scorched earth, just like his father Pierre Trudeau did. It will be interesting

00:21:16.160 to see if Kenney fights back and how hard, and if he does it all, and how he does it all. If he follows

00:21:22.060 Doug Ford's example, maybe he teams up with Ford and Saskatchewan's Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba's

00:21:27.380 Premier Brian Pallister, that could be interesting. Can they form a counterweight to Trudeau and help

00:21:31.740 fight his bad ideas, save the country, not just the provinces? Frankly, I think they have to team

00:21:35.740 up like that to survive. Either they kick Trudeau out of Parliament, or he's going to kick them out of

00:21:40.480 their provincial legislators. Those are four thoughts on what I think is the eve of Jason Kenney's

00:21:46.060 landslide victory. Number one, fire as many incumbent staff as possible to clean the house, 0.91

00:21:51.260 and then fire some more, and then when you think you're done, just fire a few more, and then just

00:21:54.140 randomly fire another 10%. Get rid of the underminers, or risk sabotage, like Donald Trump did from the 0.67

00:21:59.480 Obama holdovers. Move immediately to cancel contracts, programs, to put your enemies on the

00:22:04.060 back foot. If you don't move on them, they're going to move on you. Number two, can you resist being

00:22:09.340 bullied by the mainstream media? So far, it's Kenney's biggest weakness. The very fact that he went on

00:22:13.740 Charles Adler's talk show and let himself be trashed for half an hour. We didn't play

00:22:18.360 Kenney's submissive replies, but Adler basically trashed Kenney for half an hour, and Kenney didn't

00:22:23.600 hang up or say, I'm sorry, this is done, you're just being gross. It shows how afraid Kenney is to

00:22:27.940 offend the media, including out of the province. He has to learn to hate the media as they hate him.

00:22:34.340 He has to learn like Trump has learned in order to survive. Third, can Kenney guard against lobbyists who

00:22:40.840 will bend his ear, always proposing to pull the party to the left. Failed or just retired or just

00:22:46.340 hungry ex-conservatives who want to make some money for the first time in their life, want to be fancy,

00:22:50.940 want to be accepted by polite society, just like Preston Manning, who when I worked with him 20 years

00:22:55.640 ago, he fought against the Kyoto Protocol. Well, now he writes op-eds in the Globe and Mail supporting a

00:23:01.160 carbon tax and telling liberals how to implement it. Now entire conservative lobby groups will be coming

00:23:06.960 to tell Jason Kenney to be a Patrick Brown, not to be a Ralph Klein. I think it's a risk, a similar

00:23:11.760 risk to the media party risk. But the last fight hopefully will be like a splash of cold water to

00:23:17.320 Kenney's face. Justin Trudeau coming to kill him and use him as a punching bag for the delight of the

00:23:23.300 rest of the country, a foil for Trudeau in the upcoming election. And hopefully the reality of that

00:23:28.620 will cause Kenney to come to terms with the other three threats. We'll see. I'm still wrapping my head

00:23:33.020 around things. I'm still figuring it out. I'm still thinking out loud, trying out my ideas on

00:23:36.780 loud, trying to figure it out. Let me know your thoughts. Send me an email. And I guess that's

00:23:40.220 okay because the election hasn't even happened yet. Maybe I'm too early. By the way, we're going to be

00:23:45.060 having a live election night show tomorrow on YouTube starting at 7.45 p.m. Alberta time,

00:23:52.320 9.45 p.m. Eastern time. Sheila Gunreid and Kian Bexty will be at Jason Kenney's election night

00:23:58.060 headquarters in Calgary. I'll be here in our Toronto outpost. It'll be great. I'm looking forward to it.

00:24:03.080 Until then, let's talk next with Lord Gunter of the Edmonton Sun. And we chew these things over.

00:24:09.760 That's next on The Rebel.

00:24:24.360 Well, it is just after 8 p.m. if you're watching this as soon as we upload it. 8 p.m. Eastern time,

00:24:32.400 6 p.m. Alberta time, which means that 26 hours from now, if I'm correct on the time of day,

00:24:40.960 Albertans will have chosen their next government. Every single poll for months has suggested that

00:24:48.300 the United Conservative Party, led by Jason Kenney, will win a majority. Some polls say it'll be a

00:24:55.080 wipeout. I myself think Kenney will win, oh, almost 70 out of the 87 seats. I suppose we should always

00:25:03.520 beware. I mean, the Dewey defeats Truman headline from last century is a reminder of predicting things

00:25:11.620 before the voters have their say. But I think it's a done deal. But what will it mean to the war against

00:25:18.680 oil, gas, pipelines, and jobs? Well, very interesting article in the Edmonton Sun today by our friend

00:25:24.460 Lauren Gunter. The headline is Vivian Krauss, the tar sands campaign and the election. Joining us now

00:25:30.660 to talk about it is our friend Lauren Gunter. Hey, Lauren, great to see you again.

00:25:35.020 Good to see you.

00:25:36.900 It's a very interesting article. It's something I've cared about for a decade since I wrote the book

00:25:41.680 Ethical Oil. Most of the anti-oil activists in Canada are not your friendly neighbor, your concerned

00:25:49.980 girl guides troop, you know, organic, natural volunteers. They're not. They're not even Canadian 0.99

00:25:55.680 in many cases. And they're almost never, at least the organizers, are almost never volunteers. I mean,

00:26:02.180 they're paid professional foreign lobbyists. Tell me a little bit about what you wrote about in your

00:26:09.460 column today, please. Well, I can't take any credit for the work that was done. It all comes

00:26:14.060 from a BC researcher named Vivian Krauss, who I have to admit, I probably haven't given enough ink to

00:26:21.440 her. I've dealt with her in the past and corresponded with her back and forth. She has some very, very good

00:26:26.300 information. And what she has found that over the last decade or so, an organization largely funded by

00:26:34.540 billionaire foundations in the United States, a group called the Tar Sands Campaign, has raised about

00:26:43.300 $900 million and funneled that into environmental and indigenous organizations in Canada. So when you

00:26:53.260 hear, you know, environmental groups say, oh, we're the little guy fighting against big oil. Well,

00:26:59.520 most big oil companies don't put anywhere near the amount of money into pumping up pipelines that

00:27:06.120 this campaign has put into tearing down pipelines or preventing pipelines from being built. And so

00:27:12.060 Krauss has not only documented that very, very well, and how those organizations, for instance,

00:27:18.940 helped fund the court challenge that last August caused the Federal Court of Canada to

00:27:25.180 invalidate all of the construction permits for the Trans Mountain Pipeline. And that's why it still

00:27:31.940 has not gone ahead. But the other thing she's found is that some of the organizations like Progress

00:27:37.840 Alberta and Lead Now, who get this money, have been working very actively in this current provincial

00:27:43.960 election to get the new Democrats reelect. Certainly working very actively to keep Jason Kenney

00:27:50.140 from becoming the premier, because the stated purpose of the whole Tar Sands campaign has been

00:27:58.880 to, quote unquote, landlock Alberta oil. Now, you and I have talked about this before there,

00:28:04.240 but our other names for this is called demarketing. You can pump as much oil as you want, but we're

00:28:08.860 going to make sure you can't sell it anywhere. And I think it's fascinating that the people whose

00:28:14.580 objective is to demarket and landlock Canadian oil have decided to champion the Alberta NDP,

00:28:23.580 who claim to be the big fans of pipelines, but their supporters clearly are not. And what do the

00:28:31.580 supporters know that the rest of us don't? Well, yeah. You know, it's funny. In the last few

00:28:37.680 months, and especially this campaign, Notley has tried to rebrand herself as a defender of pipelines,

00:28:43.140 but her staff picks her, you know, there's an old saying, personnel is policy. Who you hire is a

00:28:50.360 reflection of you and what you believe in. As I showed, I think it was yesterday, Notley's staff

00:28:57.000 have been working for Greenpeace in her office. She had professional Greenpeace activists in her office

00:29:03.720 because when she was an opposition MLA, I remember one of them got arrested for doing a stunt at Ed

00:29:12.780 Stelmack. And so you have Sappora Berman, as you point out in your article, Sappora Berman of Greenpeace,

00:29:19.060 you have Karen Mahone arrested for riding on Burnaby Mountain against the Trans Mountain pipeline.

00:29:24.900 These were people placed in senior positions. Let me throw one more fact at you, Lorne.

00:29:30.940 The first chief of staff to Rachel Notley's energy minister was Graham Mitchell, who came from LEED now in Toronto.

00:29:40.000 He was a foreign-funded anti-oil lobbyist, literally registered to lobby against the oil sands,

00:29:46.200 hired from that anti-oil sands lobby group, and placed directly as chief of staff to Rachel Notley's energy minister.

00:29:53.040 And we know, too, that one of the other organizations that has received indirect funding from the tar sands

00:29:58.380 campaign is the Pemini Institute, which likes to portray itself as a sustainable development think

00:30:05.000 tank. Anytime that we call them anti-oil, they get all itchy about that. But they are receiving money

00:30:13.380 from the tar sands campaign. And their most recent executive director, a fellow who stepped down in 2017,

00:30:19.780 Notley just appointed him to, within the last couple of months, appointed him to become

00:30:25.080 director of the Alberta Energy Regulator. So she knows, perhaps, that her time is coming to an end

00:30:31.540 as premier, and she's going to load up as many of the appointments as she can,

00:30:37.120 a la John Turner in the 1984 federal campaign.

00:30:43.340 And one of them is an anti-oil campaigner that she's put on the Alberta Energy Regulator.

00:30:50.700 And he was, his organization received money indirectly from the tar sands campaign. So

00:30:57.680 it's an intricate network. Vivian Krauss has done a tremendous job in uncovering it.

00:31:05.000 And the beneficiaries of it in Alberta are the Alberta New Democrat.

00:31:09.020 Yeah. You know, Jason Kenney has talked that he's going to try and push back against these

00:31:13.580 groups, and I hope he will. There are a lot of things he can do. I mentioned some in the show

00:31:17.880 yesterday. Lauren, I don't know if you ever heard, did we talk about riot boosting? It's a phrase I

00:31:25.880 had never heard until just a few weeks ago. South Dakota has introduced a bill against riot boosting.

00:31:32.640 And it's just anyone who is a booster for anti-oil and gas riots. Anyone who organizes,

00:31:38.340 cajoles, encourages. Now there has to be, it has to be a real, urgent, imminent, like you can't just

00:31:44.540 be hollering on Twitter, hey guys, you should riot. You have to be right in there inciting a riot. But it

00:31:49.980 allows either governments or private companies or private citizens to sue, sort of like under a

00:31:56.300 RICO statute or under a, you know, an anti-gang legislation. And what I find interesting is it

00:32:02.680 allows companies to reclaim their damages times three. So if you had a pipeline that was broken,

00:32:08.660 it cost you a million dollars to fix, you can now go after Greenpeace for three million, even if-

00:32:13.840 My understanding is even if you have a pipeline delayed, that doesn't actually have to be damaged

00:32:17.620 to it, but there can be damage to your books, you know, to your profits or to your balance sheet.

00:32:23.240 And you can sue for that as well. So interesting. I don't think we're going to see any of that in

00:32:29.720 Canada. But who knows? Kenny seems quite sincere about taking legal action against these

00:32:38.420 organizations that are working intently, directly, with the express purpose of ending Alberta's economy.

00:32:47.020 And despite the fact that they are working, not in secret, they don't make any secret about the

00:32:53.600 fact that they're trying to upend Alberta's economy. Despite that, the fact that that's their

00:32:57.920 goal, who are they supporting in this election? They're supporting the Alberta NDP.

00:33:02.480 Yeah. You know, I wonder if Kenny has the toughness to go through with this. I mean,

00:33:07.760 let me give you a small example. Did you know that Syncrude, which is one of the largest oil companies in

00:33:14.780 the oil sense? I think it might be the largest. They sued Greenpeace for trespass once. Did you

00:33:21.760 even know that, Lorne? No, I did not. And it was just amazing to me, because you would think Greenpeace

00:33:26.140 would be squawking about it and shaming Syncrude. Most people I ask haven't heard of that. And I think

00:33:32.260 it's because the discovery process is so embarrassing. And the last I looked at the lawsuit was

00:33:39.080 moving extremely slowly. But one of the things Greenpeace had to do, Lorne, was to go through and show

00:33:44.960 their list of relevant records. So that included all the emails to the local hooligans, all the expense

00:33:53.360 chits, all of that stuff. We'll show some of them on the screen here. So I don't think Syncrude was

00:34:00.060 looking to make money by suing Greenpeace. Syncrude makes money by selling oil. But by exposing and

00:34:07.200 rooting around and shining the light of scrutiny, now, I don't know why Syncrude hasn't been noisier

00:34:12.280 about it. But that's the way to kill these foreign groups, is to turn over the rock and watch them 1.00

00:34:17.940 squirm in the light. A lot of the big oil companies, even if they are, for instance, like Syncrude,

00:34:24.640 suing Greenpeace for trespass, really are very reluctant to make big noise about this, because

00:34:33.360 they really don't want to provoke more protesters. They don't want to upset governments. You remember

00:34:41.720 when Rachel Notley brought in her carbon tax in November of 2015, there were people from the four 1.00

00:34:49.760 largest oil sands companies on stage with her. Now, what we didn't know at the time was that they had

00:34:54.300 all cut deals with her, that their companies would have far fewer emission restrictions put on them

00:35:00.000 than others in the industry. But there they were saying, oh, no, we want to be socially responsible

00:35:06.700 corporate citizens, et cetera, et cetera. They play that PR game. You know what? And I don't think

00:35:11.660 it's a game. Unfortunately, I think an awful lot of those CEOs, they live in rarefied air. 0.61

00:35:17.560 Their jobs really aren't under threat from silly government policies. And so they do, you know,

00:35:25.420 they don't want to go to a cocktail party and have someone come up and poke them in the chest and say,

00:35:29.340 you're going to ruin the planet for my children. And so they go along with these silly emission 0.79

00:35:36.800 reduction fairy tales like social license. And that's, I think, probably why Syncrude's not making

00:35:43.540 more of a fuss about what it's learning from the Greenpeace lawsuit.

00:35:47.120 You know, you're so right about those fancy CEOs. I think of Murray Edwards,

00:35:52.000 the billionaire who was one of the four men on stage with Rachel Notley there. I think he has

00:35:57.300 since decamped for London. It's a little bit fancier there for him, I guess, with all those other oil

00:36:02.500 barons, the Saudis mainly. I think that they have a lot to answer for. I mean, they're businessmen. I

00:36:11.100 suppose they were looking out for number one, looking out for their shareholders. But politically,

00:36:14.440 they, I think, helped sink the province because they undermined any opposition

00:36:18.840 from the industry. One of my ideas I had on yesterday's show, and I'm sorry, I'm going over

00:36:24.180 it with you and you may not have had the benefit of watching it. I had one of my six suggestions

00:36:28.640 was that Kenny not meet with self-hating oil executives. So if there's someone out there who's,

00:36:37.920 you know, sponsoring the Pemida Institute annual gala, Shell does that, Suncor does that. If there's

00:36:44.120 someone out there who's saying, we love a carbon tax, Jason Kenney, as premier, should not be mean

00:36:48.620 to them. He shouldn't tax them or punish them. He should just say, you know what? I run a province

00:36:54.800 of 4.5 million people. A lot of them are hurting. I'm going to meet with the guys who don't like the

00:37:00.160 pain. You carbon tax boosters, you can meet, you can meet amongst yourselves. I'm not going to give

00:37:05.360 you any face time. You big executive managers who report to a board of directors of a publicly traded

00:37:13.260 company, do whatever you do. I'm interested, if I'm, Kenny, I'd say I'm interested in the guy who

00:37:19.840 has 120 people working for him in an oil field service company or the four guys who were just

00:37:25.180 put out of work as welders because, you know, the little company that they had that did part of a

00:37:31.100 pipeline no longer has enough business to keep them employed. Those are the people who make up

00:37:35.880 the backbone of Alberta. And sure, it'd be nice if the big fancy pants executives would come along. 1.00

00:37:42.760 I'd love them to understand how the short-term protection of their shareholders' interest is in

00:37:49.340 their long-term harm. It's going to do long-term harm to their companies. But if they don't want to come

00:37:56.240 along and be nice, then there are hundreds of companies and hundreds of thousands of working

00:38:02.620 Albertans that Kenny should be meeting with instead. Yeah. Well, it goes to that fancy pants, 0.67

00:38:07.540 people at a cocktail party. If, I think his name is Steve Williams. I think he's still running Suncor.

00:38:12.860 I haven't followed it that closely. If these fancy international jet-setting millionaire go to the art

00:38:19.880 auction and buy a million-dollar painting, collect fine wine kind of oil man, who probably started

00:38:26.580 off in cowboy boots with a pickup truck and now are just trying to impress their new friends. If they

00:38:34.020 are marginalized, if Jason Kenny won't take a phone call from Murray Edwards anymore, if Jason Kenny or

00:38:40.640 his energy minister won't take a meeting with Suncor anymore or Shell anymore, then you're playing on

00:38:47.800 their ego and they're wanting to be polite society. You have a premier's oil and gas gala and they're

00:38:55.720 not invited. Maybe you can turn peer pressure to your benefit. I guess I'm just saying, you know,

00:39:02.920 10 years ago... He doesn't need to go cozying up to them. I mean, whether or not he has a boycott of

00:39:07.580 those guys, I don't care. Yeah. But he doesn't need to cozy up to them. He doesn't need to play

00:39:11.760 favors, you know, he doesn't need to play favorites with them and try and win them over.

00:39:17.840 They'll either come over or they won't. You know what? I remember when I wrote my book,

00:39:22.220 Ethical Oil, and I would give talks about it, and I was often asked to speak to oil companies in

00:39:26.780 Calgary. And people would say, why are you doing that? Why are you always, you know, giving a sermon

00:39:32.180 to the choir? Why are you always preaching to the converted? And I thought, no, no, no, you misunderstand

00:39:38.460 it. That's where the problem starts. The problem starts from self-hating oil executives whose minds have

00:39:45.460 been conditioned and colonized by the Sephora Burmans. They're, I mean, like I say, a lot of 1.00

00:39:50.600 these oil companies are sponsoring the Pembina Foundations, sponsoring the Green Pieces, believe

00:39:55.120 it or not. And I think that you have to start by getting oil men to respect themselves. If they

00:40:01.940 don't respect themselves, how could a premier respect them? How could a prime minister of all

00:40:05.300 Canada respect them? It starts by stopping the self-hating disease.

00:40:10.840 Yeah, for sure. And it also starts by going back to the science of climate change and global warming.

00:40:17.940 When you concede that climate change is happening and it's going to be bad and it's caused by human

00:40:25.200 activity, how do you argue against stopping it? Yeah, right.

00:40:30.160 What you have to do is say, look, there's all sorts of scientists who, solid, high-profile

00:40:37.760 scientists at respectable universities who don't think this is happening. And here's why they don't

00:40:42.560 think it's happening. And the reason that's important is that then you don't have to argue,

00:40:46.980 well, yes, we know that we're going to destroy the climate, but we just can't destroy the economy

00:40:51.580 too. So you have to let us destroy the environment in order to keep people working. And that's basically

00:40:56.980 where we've gotten to with people of a conservative ilk in the Western world, is that they concede

00:41:04.400 the science of climate change, but then they have to make economic arguments that it's too expensive

00:41:11.340 to do anything about it. And as soon as you do that, you say, oh, I'm okay for destroying the environment.

00:41:16.800 I just don't want to see people lose their jobs over it. Yeah. Well, let me ask you, I haven't,

00:41:21.020 now that I think about it, I haven't heard Jason Kenney in an extremely clear way address the science

00:41:26.500 issue. I don't know if he has. Have you seen him do so? No, I haven't. You know what it did to

00:41:32.540 Danielle Smith in 2012, though, when she, in the last week of the campaign, decided to take on the

00:41:38.840 science of global warming. I think it's one of those things that's been so ingrained. We're now

00:41:43.220 into the third generation of children going through public schools who've been indoctrinated with the

00:41:49.140 climate change sermons. And it's going to take a long time to start backing that up and start

00:41:57.100 pulling people away from that mentality. And so it's something that I think the next Alberta

00:42:02.020 government has to start to do. And even if it's just taking baby steps. Yeah. Well, it's very

00:42:06.880 interesting. I'm hopeful. My one fear, Lauren, I have a few fears, but my one of them is that Jason

00:42:13.180 Kenney, because he lived in Ottawa for so long and the media has so much power in Ottawa, I fear he's

00:42:20.560 too submissive to them and he cares too much about what the CBC says. And I'm worried that he, unlike

00:42:28.200 Trump, who has a healthy contempt for the media, I'm worried Jason Kenney will let the media shape

00:42:33.820 him. And they're certainly setting themselves up to be the official opposition. Am I just indulging my

00:42:39.440 own antipathy? You know what, Jason's a very tough guy. And he could have at many occasions when he

00:42:44.920 was immigration minister, fallen for the political correctness attacks that the CBC and the Toronto

00:42:51.400 Star and the Globe and Mail and the rest of them were launching at him about, for instance, the manual

00:42:56.620 they had for newcomers to teach them Canadian values or the idea that, you know, take a look at the one

00:43:02.400 example right now. He and Stephen Harper set up the safe third country rule. So if you'd come to Canada

00:43:11.100 from a safe country, you couldn't claim refugee status here. And there was gnawing and gnashing 1.00

00:43:17.460 and wailing and, oh, that's so racist. You're condemning people to death. I can't believe you did.

00:43:24.800 What have the liberals just done in the most recent budget document? They've done even more than that.

00:43:30.780 They'll send people back to countries that aren't on our safe third country list if they've come here 1.00

00:43:37.680 illegally. So, you know, he put up with a whole bunch of attacks when he was immigration minister, fewer

00:43:45.060 when he was defense minister, but he's a tough guy. And I do think he's actually he actually means to set up

00:43:51.420 a war room to go after people like the Tar Sands campaign who are trying to under deliberately trying to

00:43:58.140 undermine the Alberta economy. Well, it's gonna be very interesting. I am looking forward to it. I

00:44:03.700 think it'll be the beginning of a healing for Alberta. It's not gonna happen immediately. And

00:44:09.000 the beginning of a fight back nationally. Doug Ford has been very good on the carbon tax. Of course,

00:44:16.240 Scott Moe in Saskatchewan has been excellent, but he's one premier in a small province. I think when

00:44:22.540 Jason Kenney joins that trio right there, and in some cases, Francois Legault of Quebec, I think

00:44:28.280 you're starting to see some pushback against Justin Trudeau. Yeah, absolutely. Last word, I know I've

00:44:33.640 kept you very long here. Is there anything you're looking at in tonight, tomorrow's results? Is there

00:44:40.200 anything you're wondering about? You know what? We may not know the results on Tuesday. There have been

00:44:46.260 over 220,000 votes cast outside of the ridings in which the people reside. This is the first time

00:44:54.440 that the Alberta elections have allowed you to vote anywhere in the province during the advance

00:45:00.480 polls. You can't do it during election day, but in the advance polls, you could vote in any advance

00:45:05.480 poll, whether it was in your riding or not. There's 220,000 plus ballots that were cast there,

00:45:12.000 and they will not be counted until starting at 1 p.m. the day after the election. And there are going

00:45:19.440 to be ridings. There are some ridings that have received as many as 5,700 ballots from outside of

00:45:26.340 the riding. And so I can see a situation where it's pretty obvious the UCP are going to win, but it isn't

00:45:33.040 mathematically certain, and the NDP won't concede, and we'll have this count going on until Thursday or

00:45:39.980 Friday at drawing it all out. So that's the one concern I have.

00:45:45.300 Isn't that interesting? Well, Lauren, thanks so much for your time and your advice. I look forward to

00:45:49.520 talking to you after tomorrow's election. It'll be very interesting, and to watch Alberta's recovery.

00:45:55.080 Thanks for your time, my friend.

00:45:56.340 You bet.

00:45:56.920 All right, there you have it. Lauren Gunter, senior columnist with the Edmonton Sun. Stay with us.

00:46:01.620 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:46:09.980 Hey, welcome back on my monologue Friday about Rachel Notley being shocked, just shocked, that anti-oil science

00:46:17.620 protesters are being foreign-funded. Ron writes, Notley says, I'm frustrated by it, of course.

00:46:23.800 Frustrated that the scam has been unearthed by Vivian Krauss. Yeah, yeah, it's just nothing could be less

00:46:29.280 credible. And like I say, it wasn't just back in the day when she was anti-pipeline. She literally put Ed 0.97

00:46:35.360 Whittingham and the Pemina Institute on the energy regulator just like a month ago.

00:46:40.740 Bruce writes, I love the coverage you're giving to this Alberta election. My feeling was the same

00:46:44.740 for last year's Ontario Conservative victory. Thanks for the reassurance about Bozo eruptions not being

00:46:49.320 an issue in this election. Well, I haven't been on the ground in Alberta that much. I got to be here

00:46:53.640 in Toronto most of the time where our main operation is. But you've probably seen some of the amazing

00:46:58.280 videos by my friends Sheila and Kian. They have been so busy and so well-received, and I talk to them

00:47:03.920 each every day. Frankly, I tell them every time I say, I wish I was out there. They're doing so

00:47:08.380 much good stuff with the lawn signs, the Stop Notley book, the banner jumbotron truck that Kian had.

00:47:15.320 I think they're doing great. I hope you'll agree. Oh, by the way, Kian showed me his video about

00:47:19.960 Anne McGrath, the communist candidate running for Rachel Notley in Calgary Varsity. That is the number

00:47:26.100 one most watched video on YouTube of any channel, us, CTV, CBC, Global. It's the number one most watched

00:47:35.560 YouTube video about the Alberta election. Isn't that something? Just in terms of raw number of

00:47:41.300 viewers, that video by Kian was the most watched video in the Alberta election. That's a fact.

00:47:48.300 Speaking of Kian, Jan writes, I just love Kian. He's smart. He's cool. And he was born to be a rebel

00:47:55.480 between Sheila and Kian. Albertans are in good hands. Good luck with the election. Can't wait to

00:47:59.760 watch it. Well, you know, my feelings exactly. I'm very proud of them both. They're very, very different

00:48:04.840 in their backgrounds and personalities. And I think they're a great pair also. And they work together

00:48:09.220 closely, as you can see. And, you know, we call Sheila the bureau chief because she's sort of the boss 0.98

00:48:15.080 out there. And she works with Kian. And I think it's a very harmonious, like this really got a lot

00:48:20.820 of smarts, a lot of initiative taking. I'm very proud of our Alberta team. And maybe I call myself

00:48:25.820 an honorary part of the Alberta team because that's where I was from originally. Well, folks, that's

00:48:30.000 our show for today until tomorrow. Election day in Alberta. There's so much going on tomorrow.

00:48:35.360 But by the way, you don't have to be from Alberta to want to give Notley the boot. Am I right?

00:48:39.500 Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home. Good night.

00:48:43.320 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:48:45.080 Keep fighting for freedom.
