00:12:08.820Well, I mean, Dave and I were talking a little bit about this on Monday.
00:12:12.700And one of the things that has always puzzled me is that when it comes to the Alberta oil and gas sector, I mean, I spent most of my adult career working in the oil and gas sector out here.
00:12:23.020And I've always been shocked that our political leaders weren't flying all over the world and shouting proudly from the rooftops how environmentally friendly and efficient our oil and gas industry is here.
00:12:34.300So I need to dig into it a little bit more. But, you know, the thing is, I think that a lot of people don't realize that there's just about nothing that you can touch anymore or use or wear that doesn't come from a petroleum-based product, including their laptops and their cell phones.
00:12:53.540So, you know, the attack on Alberta oil is just, in my opinion, it just boggles the mind.
00:13:00.500Well, to me, it's like, well, what do you guys, what do you guys, is this a death wish for us?
00:13:05.060How do you think we stay alive in the eight months of winter out here on the prairies?
00:13:09.300How do you think we get around this vast landscape?
00:21:29.000There's a number of groups that are super delighted about the results.
00:21:34.820people who are anti-israel very happy today so it's a bit of a broad brush that uh jason is
00:21:41.980using there let's zero in on the policies we like the ones we don't like this is going to help uh
00:21:47.620with the repudiation really of trump's tariff policy uh this is going to help us in terms of
00:21:53.520our trade negotiations and i'm big time supporter of that but in terms of uh getting elected in the
00:21:59.540u.s hugely are people who would like to see no borders who would like to see actually no
00:22:04.980immigration rules now you just brought up in the previous question an example of somebody's here
00:22:09.820that's very dangerous so we're going to be there's going to be advantage advantages for us there but
00:22:16.840some of trump's policies were actually beneficial to canada so it's got to be done on a policy by
00:22:21.940policy approach not a broad sweep saying that everybody's mag and north whatever that means
00:22:27.340Well, Tamir Leach, who do you think he was really taking aim at there?
00:22:31.820Well, I mean, just to your point, Mr. Day, and I respect your friendship with Mr. Kenny, however, I've also been beat up several times in both the media and stuff too.
00:22:45.000And I guess the thing that really disappointed me with Mr. Kenny these last few months was some pretty disparaging posts that he made, a lot of name calling with people that he didn't agree with, which I personally don't find professional.
00:22:59.900I think that you can express your opinions without disparaging others and calling people names.
00:23:04.720And I just don't know why he started behaving that way.
00:23:10.400But as somebody who campaigned with his conservatives during the 2019 election, I find it very disappointing to see some of this behavior out of him.
00:23:21.360So when it's about who he's targeting, you know, it's people like me.
00:23:24.760It's the people that he calls the dirty, traitorous separatists or whatever.
00:23:29.820So when really all we were ever advocating for was, you know, to exercise our democratic right to express ourselves and have our voices heard.
00:23:40.040Yeah, well, maybe the explanation is that hurt people hurt people.
00:29:03.700Look, the whole purpose of this ridiculous exercise was to save the finance minister's
00:29:08.240seat, a seat that's 44% below the average population.
00:29:11.980That is a lot of work to save a seat for a minister who couldn't even carry the vote for Canada in his own riding.
00:29:17.900Yet it's clear that the commission took instruction from the government to start saving other ministers.
00:29:23.420Does the Premier expect Albertans to believe it's just a coincidence that every single change the commission recommends attempts to save a UCP minister?
00:29:33.160Okay, so Nguyen Nanshi is big mad, is big mad about their perceived gerrymatter.
00:29:40.640So they're accusing the UCP of gerrymandering, that is, you know, rigging the electoral map to get their guys in the good books, whereas Danielle Smith in the UPC is saying, well, no, actually, this is a better representation in Alberta demographics.
00:29:57.640um they're fighting back really hard and danielle smith says uh says that they are going to lawyer
00:30:05.480up okay if the ndp continues to challenge this this boundary change they are going to lawyer up
00:30:13.460this is yeah here we go so this from our friends at the cbc uh danielle smith promises to lawyer up
00:30:20.480if the ndp pursues its challenge on this on this boundary change yesterday we talked about
00:30:26.140uh ag the attorney general of alberta mickey amory and he sent about the best tell-off letter i have
00:30:35.580ever seen through elections alberta so in in addition to the whole ndp going wild about these
00:30:43.460potential boundary changes um or these intended boundary changes i'll say you've got the other
00:30:49.320side you've got the other side saying we're just going to fight you tooth and nail no matter what
00:30:54.060and the way that the government of Alberta is responding
00:31:20.500to undertake elections in the province.
00:31:24.060Like, they're almost calling their bluff. The UCP sounds as though they are absolutely committed to seeing this change go through. And as the government in power, they are absolutely able to do this. This is part of their purview. But they're not delaying another election. They're not taking the word of Elections Alberta on its face. And they're really pressing them.
00:31:48.720Tamera Leach. Do you think that Elections Alberta deserves to be pressed by the government of
00:31:54.800Alberta? I absolutely do. I mean, they have, this is, we're a year out. We are 12 months out. And
00:32:03.280you know what would happen if you or I couldn't do our jobs? We would lose it and we would be
00:32:09.460replaced. And so I think these guys just need to, you know, get their nose to the grindstone and do
00:32:14.740their jobs it's in their name elections alberta this is you have one job it's right there in the
00:32:22.720name yeah if there's any confusion the alberta government is saying like let us help you clear
00:32:28.840it up like maybe maybe you won't get so much money for it and that's another part of this
00:32:32.960is elections alberta is claiming that it's you know poverty stricken and it needs you know ever
00:32:38.240more ever bigger increasing yes and uh the the government of alberta seems like it's not playing
00:32:43.900So that's always good to see. I love when the government reigns in a bureaucracy the way that the government of Alberta currently is.
00:32:52.720Can we skip to number 12? One of the people that you and I both saw at the Calgary Rebel News live event was Premier Danielle Smith.
00:33:02.320And she was there to give to give an update on some of the things that they've done in Alberta to sustain conservatives.
00:33:10.800So can we watch that clip real quick?0.99
00:33:13.900We've protected fairness in women's sport, making sure that girls and women can compete against other girls and women rather than other girls and women.1.00
00:33:24.380We've protected kids from being given life-altering drugs and surgery to change their sex or gender.
00:34:36.360We are not going to send out our police, and we are not going to send out our prosecutors to go after those who bought their guns legally.
00:34:42.540These are victories that conservatives can be proud of.
00:34:45.460Tamera Leach this is this is yeah it it was great but I was I was going to ask you
00:34:54.200was there anything that was missing from that list was there anything there that you could
00:35:01.100have been like yep that's great but we could go one step further and for me okay for me
00:35:05.940it is the discontinuation of prosecution of regular Albertans and Saskies by the federal
00:35:12.900government. That would be the one thing that I would add to that list to make Alberta less
00:35:18.960permeable by Ottawa's bad ideas. What about you? Well, I loved her speech. I thought she did really
00:35:25.200good. And, you know, she did list all those. And those are all very important topics. And I think
00:35:29.320BC should take note. So we'll see what happens with their new government there. I'm very excited
00:35:34.460for them, actually. I really enjoyed her speech. You know, her and Ezra sat down and had a little
00:35:39.600fireside chat for a few minutes following that and he um offered her up some challenges um but
00:35:45.060overall i i thought she did really well i thought uh i think we're on the right track in a lot of
00:35:49.700areas yeah i do too well certainly danielle smith um is the best listener out of all of the premieres
00:35:57.800i feel like she really really hears the people of alberta when they um when they approach in good
00:36:03.980faith and when they have something important that they want to share with her okay nobody got
00:36:08.260Nobody's government does a better job at listening than Danielle Smith's government.
00:36:13.360The problem where I see it, okay, is when they're listening to those federal authorities,
00:36:18.860is when they're listening to outside people, is when they're listening to consultants and
00:36:22.360lobbyists and all of the various sort of, well, we'll say the spheres of influence that
00:36:28.540surround a person like the premier, okay, that's when she steps into trouble.
00:36:33.400But as far as I'm concerned, this was necessary.
00:36:36.440It is a roadmap for the rest of the provinces to de-woke their institutions.
00:36:41.920And this is critical to get the woke out of our institutions to address what's happening in our post-secondary institutions, in our elementary and high schools with vapid union activism.
00:36:53.180She's nipped that right in the bud for years.
00:36:55.480We've been saying the DEI directives under the professional development banner of public sector employees is insane.
00:37:05.220It is off the hook. And that's how they inject bad ideas into provinces. So if anything, what I just heard Danielle say there is that there is an effective restraining order against Ottawa by the people of Alberta to just protect themselves and insulate themselves against some of those more corrosive and damaging ideas.
00:37:27.680So they should for sure be commended for that.
00:37:31.340If only we could just make Ottawa stop persecuting our people the way that they are known to.
00:37:54.180Let's follow up this Danielle Smith stuff with the Justice Center, because they are wondering if Danielle Smith is going to follow through with reforming the Alberta Human Rights Act.
00:38:08.480John Carpe, this is our friend from the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, has some really good points as to why we might want to do that.
00:38:19.300Nobody should be prosecuted by a government body for expressing their opinion.
00:38:24.180Yet Canada's four western provinces have laws on the books that facilitate exactly that.
00:38:30.540In British Columbia, former school board trustee Barry Neufeld was prosecuted and was ordered by the BC Human Rights Tribunal to pay $750,000 to some gay teachers in Chilliwack who felt hurt and offended by Barry's advocacy for not having children get exposed to transgender ideology at their school.
00:38:52.360In Alberta, Benita Peterson is currently being prosecuted by the Alberta Human Rights Commission
00:38:57.480for objecting to a black and white crosswalk in her town being repainted the rainbow colors.
00:39:05.540It's her opinion. You can agree or disagree.
00:39:09.040But unfortunately, Benita Peterson will be entering her final week of legal proceedings in December.1.00
00:39:16.740If she had to pay for her own legal defense, she would be out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars.
00:39:23.700The Justice Center, thanks to the generosity of donors, is funding her legal representation.0.98
00:39:30.040Benita Peterson shouldn't have to defend herself in the first place.
00:39:33.860She expressed an opinion on a political topic, which she should be free to do in a democracy, but not in Alberta.
00:39:41.940These speech prosecutions exist because of Section 3 of the Alberta Human Rights Act,
00:39:47.500which authorizes citizens to be prosecuted for expressing their opinions.
00:39:52.680Back in 2005, Ezra Levant was prosecuted by the Alberta Human Rights Commission
00:39:57.980simply for running a news story about the Danish cartoons.
00:40:02.320Alberta Report was prosecuted because someone disliked a news story it had published.
00:40:08.020We're not talking about a defamation action where somebody claims that their reputation was unfairly tarnished.
00:40:15.280I'm talking about an Alberta Human Rights Commission prosecution over a story that was politically incorrect.
00:40:22.960A youth pastor in Red Deer, Stephen Bazan, was prosecuted by the Alberta Human Rights Commission over a letter he wrote to the Red Deer advocate.
00:40:31.700so john carpe there gives us a laundry list of westerners who have been uh who have found
00:40:40.540themselves we'll say in the crosshairs of their provincial human rights tribunal sometimes it's
00:40:46.860called a commission depending on what province you're in um tamara leach this brings us back
00:40:52.860to what danielle smith sort of said at the rebel news live event even though we've taken on even
00:40:59.860though we've taken on the professional regulators, some of the DEI stuff, we protected girls and
00:41:06.360women in sport. And that's so important. We protected children from being able to medically
00:41:13.360transition in Alberta. It is the only province that's done that. But hearing John Carpe talk0.99
00:41:19.420about this, there is a reason, there is a reason why people with dissenting views find themselves
00:41:27.000often on the receiving end of a human rights complaint in British Columbia, in Alberta,
00:41:33.600in Saskatchewan. Do you think that the time has come to Merrileach to disband the human rights
00:41:42.340commissions and the human rights acts in these provinces? Oh, you're muted.
00:41:48.240sorry about that yes uh 100 i mean they've really become just so woke and uh i mean like you was
00:41:58.160talking about barry neufeld or any of these cases really 703 quarters of a million dollars because
00:42:04.460you said something that hurt somebody's feelings and that's really what it's come down to you know
00:42:09.000and i've often i often speak about that i mean canada is crossing into a slippery slope where
00:42:13.740We don't follow the rule of law anymore.
00:42:17.400We need to protect our freedom of speech.
00:42:19.860We need to stop this type of censorship.
00:42:22.820Canadians need to be free to speak their mind and express their opinions without fear that, you know,
00:42:27.780somebody who woke up and just wanted to be offended about something today decides to go after them for.
00:42:35.140Yeah, and it's an obvious tactic by left-wing activists to use the human rights tribunals and commissions.
00:42:43.740um to to to sort of just nip any dissent in the butt something john carpe said there that was
00:42:51.420i think really relevant is when barry newfeld um spoke out against the promotion of really
00:42:57.900dangerous concepts to kids he was speaking in the best interest of the kids and as john carpe said
00:43:03.580you know he was fought tooth and nail through the human rights commission by a couple of gay teachers0.65
00:43:08.940and i just i just wonder um i just wonder who we're prioritizing you know is it the employment
00:43:15.740experience of childless people in the public service or is it the parents with kids that0.85
00:43:22.220they're actively trying to um silo away from all of this crazy adult garbage um well i think one
00:43:29.260of the one of the problems is is that while you know our governments will tell us that everybody0.93
00:43:34.860is equal um it's just in canada there are some people that are more equal than others and i mean
00:43:40.400this is a huge huge problem and this is what happens when you kowtow and cater to uh special
00:43:46.820interest groups so true so true and this is what this is often what the human rights tribunals do
00:43:53.400is they create the the intersectionality of the oppressed groups get so pared down and so pared
00:44:02.160down and so pared down that at the end of the day, they're making rulings. And these are rulings
00:44:07.340that are sort of apart from our typical justice system, right? Like they independently operate
00:44:15.160at arm's length from our justice system. So we have this parallel universe where if they don't
00:44:20.680get you one way, they can get you the other way. Like is this, was this the point of human rights
00:44:26.460commissions. And I can tell you, I can tell you just going back, it would be, oh, 10 or 11 years.
00:44:34.660I interviewed the former Saskatchewan Human Rights Commissioner about 10 or 11 years ago.
00:44:42.020And now he is a Justin Trudeau appointed Senator in Ottawa. So if you think that Human Rights
00:44:48.700Commissions don't have the ability to infiltrate into your life, you're wrong. And I think that
00:44:54.600we should have a conversation about their usefulness in this, in this capacity, or whether
00:44:58.800they've gone so far off of their mandate that they don't make sense anymore, especially from a cost
00:45:03.580standpoint. These commissions, these commissions, if you can imagine, don't come cheap, you guys.
00:45:10.740Right, I can imagine. So let's, let's, right, like, yeah, yeah, let's pay ourselves.
00:45:16.660I think, you know, like so many of our institutions, you know, I think they start off
00:45:21.860with pure intentions great intentions stanford liberty and justice and all that but they're
00:45:27.180morphing into these more type of activist organizations as we're seeing uh in the human
00:45:33.740rights tribunals as we're seeing in our very own judiciary um and a lot of these institutions it's
00:45:39.780quite it raises a lot of alarm bells you know we need to get back to that common sense approach
00:45:45.460Yes. And luckily for British Columbia, they get to they get to revisit this with their brand new B.C. conservative government in British Columbia.
00:45:55.920One of the things I really, really hope for, I guess, premier, is he a premier designate, Lauren Dirksen, is that he really takes it, like blows open the NDP's books, blows them open and eliminates anything that doesn't serve the mandate or the people of British Columbia.
00:46:16.940Because these crazy, absolutely crazy, unhinged left-wing activists have been able to permeate the public institutions to a point where it's bastardized the outcomes for the public.
00:46:33.300And so I'm actually really, really excited for BC to be able to undo some of this, you know?
00:46:41.780But should Alberta and Saskatchewan follow suit?
00:46:46.460I think we need a very serious review, a review of these types of organizations to find out, you know, what what they can do to be to become, I guess, less biased or maybe more fair and less reliant on feeling offended and hurt feelings.
00:48:55.140And is he calling, okay, is he calling those MLAs incapable?
00:49:01.640Like, is he saying, oh, the MLAs that come here are just going to have so many urbanites that they won't even possibly be able to?
00:49:08.660It's a fractional amount as it pertains to the whole number, Jeremy.
00:49:13.740Like, you're splitting hairs over this issue, but I do think it says something as it pertains to the left's way of pushing back against the UCP.0.94
00:49:24.400And make no mistake, Danielle Smith has got some people gunning for her eventual position.
00:49:31.780And it's really interesting when they all say the same thing at the same time, don't you think, to Mary Leach?
00:49:36.260Yeah, they just start parroting each other.
00:50:42.460now the advisory panel was unanimous and that includes two ndp appointed panelists
00:50:50.220on restoring two rural ridings slated for removal retired justice brian o'ferrell said in the report
00:50:55.740that the panel's proposals are legally sound and not unconstitutional if this electoral map is
00:51:01.240passed in the legislature how does the ndp plan to respond so if the government passes a
00:51:08.220gerrymandered map that essentially lets them cheat going forward, we will see them before.
00:51:13.600That's defamatory language, Christina. Now, the advisory panel was unanimous,
00:51:18.200and that includes two NDP-appointed panelists on restoring two words.
00:51:23.060Tamara Leach, when even the CBC is fact-checking the NDP, what does that say to you? What does
00:51:33.900Well, yeah, that's really, let's not forget, you know, that before the federal election, what did the Liberals do in a lot of Ontario writings, they did exactly the same thing. And we didn't hear these people pushing back. In fact, that was one of the reasons that contributed to Pierre Polyev losing his seat there.
00:51:55.080um so it's gerrymandering when the conservative parties do it but obviously totally fine and
00:52:02.160acceptable if it's a party for the left-leaning party yeah yeah and even though even though the
00:52:08.020CBC was pushing back there just a little bit I mean it was it was the most gentle pushback they
00:52:14.140could have um they could have you know sort of wielded against the NDP in their in their gentle
00:52:20.280softball questions but you really have to ask yourself when you have the entire mainstream
00:52:24.580narrative running in one direction what is it that they're trying to avoid that's always where
00:52:30.660my head goes anyway yeah uh hey maybe let's talk about let's let's talk about this saskatchewan
00:52:38.140um saskatchewan firefighting plane so uh this is a nice little saskatchewan story it's 16 on the
00:52:44.500schedule, Olivia. The CBC, our friends over there at the CBC, says that a new firefighting plane
00:52:55.860that was purchased by the province of Saskatchewan isn't actually able to scoop water from lakes.
00:53:06.000So it's not one of those direct drives. This is what it looks like.
00:53:13.680This is a land-based air tanker that will join the fleet in La Ronge. So for anybody that doesn't know, La Ronge, Saskatchewan is deep, deep in the boreal forest. And as many, many places across the country in these last several years, they've seen some pretty, well, devastating, devastating summer fires.
00:53:35.300uh so tamir leach do you think that there do you think that there is um a little bit of a glitch in
00:53:42.420the matrix here why would you buy a plane that has to land to to fuel with water i don't know
00:53:49.480that is i haven't read that story yet so i don't really know but i'm not really sure what its
00:53:53.360capabilities are however i mean that does seem a little strange that if if you know that's a lot
00:53:59.180of time if you got to land and refill and then take off again but who knows like me actually
00:54:06.600yeah yeah yeah i would be i would be too because the you know the the really humongous ones are
00:54:13.940the ones you see filling in motion so they'll come out of the sky low over uh low over a lake
00:54:19.200scoop in the belly and just with the forward forward momentum shut the hatch and away they
00:54:23.940go to the next fire. So, um, I would be, I would be interested to know in how they think that this
00:54:30.880is going to, uh, help the people of Northern Saskatchewan when there might be a fire coming
00:54:36.640towards you. Uh, maybe the, especially in those situations where like time is really of the
00:54:42.280essence, you know, you don't sometimes, especially if there's high winds, um, you don't have a lot
00:54:45.660of time. They're not going to have time to, to land, refill, and then take off again.
00:54:50.140that heats up a lot of minutes but then again oh well but then again we're we're not in the um
00:54:56.140you know maybe there is a great explanation maybe we reach out to the government on this one to just
00:55:00.440explain their thinking explain your thinking why this plane is a problem number one they are
00:55:06.840humongously cost prohibitive prohibitive to both operate to fly like if you buy a plane if a
00:55:12.980province buys a plane there are base costs to that plane like humongous base cost to that plane
00:55:18.480because it's a federally regulated industry, right?
