00:01:19.660 the online harms act he's he's he was a fighter during the covid pandemic on the side of freedom

00:01:28.700 he's affiliated with the freedom convoy to a large degree but he's also going to bring a blue ribbon

00:01:36.640 panel that's what i'm calling it to washington to petition donald trump for statehood not for canada

00:01:43.000 but for alberta because he's had enough and i'm going to put that interview on in a short time

00:01:49.400 don't miss this it's incredible we got him yesterday at his office and he was on with me

00:01:56.840 yesterday afternoon i want you to see this it's fantastic but this is all about you remember this

00:02:03.120 old cartoon i'm sure uh hundreds of you saw it throughout your education elementary school

00:02:09.160 onwards i i remember seeing this in about grade six or seven and this is this is one of his points and

00:02:16.680 this is jeffrey rath sub stack encourage you to read it but we'll be getting into some of the

00:02:24.440 details about why are people getting so desperate and i'll tell you why

00:02:30.920 because retaliatory tariffs that we are being promised by justin trudeau by jagmeet singh

00:02:45.720 and by the official opposition leader pure polio these are not patriotic this is not somehow

00:02:54.680 a way of getting back at the americans it's a way of punishing canadians

00:03:00.920 more tax the only guy political leader is pointing this out is maxine bernier whom i had on the show

00:03:09.000 yesterday i hope you had a chance to watch that interview and all those people out there

00:03:16.600 i'm in the bag for the conservatives of pure polio i'm in the bag for freedom and justice

00:03:21.880 and for canada and for small c principal conservative

00:03:26.280 pure polio talks in favor of i'm all for him when he doesn't i have to criticize that maxine bernier

00:03:32.360 is the only politician who's pointing out that retaliatory tariffs are not good have a look at this

00:03:37.480 graph this is incredible canada with retaliation we are headed for higher inflation

00:03:48.520 we're headed for potentially 75 percent tariffs not including 21 percent carbon tax that's coming

00:04:00.600 on april 1st and jeffrey rath talks about that in this interview so add it up folks that's over a hundred

00:04:09.320 percent well actually no it's it's it's almost a hundred percent 90 96 percent potential punishment

00:04:20.520 that's where we're headed on this now justin trudeau and the liberal government had a chance yesterday

00:04:28.280 to shut this off but nope they're not going halfway

00:04:34.600 another senior government official said the u.s proposed dropping some and but not all of its

00:04:40.680 tariffs the canada pulled its retaliation which is tariffs on 30 billion worth of american goods right

00:04:46.280 away before rising to 155 billion in three weeks time the provinces are also pursuing their own

00:04:54.280 countermeasures ford is threatening to shut off the electricity now as jeffrey rath says that's an

00:04:59.080 act of war alberta too is pulling liquor off the shelves canceling u.s contracts government contracts

00:05:08.600 and of course the feds want saskatchewan to weaponize fertilizer and potash alberta has already 0.64

00:05:15.640 said forget keep your hands off for oil and gas you're not going to use those in this tariff or in

00:05:21.640 this trade war we are in the midst of a crisis right now i can't say this enough you know and

00:05:28.600 a lot of people are just brushing it off and saying it's no big deal we're going to fight back bye

00:05:33.480 canadian this is a real chance to wave the flag this is a real chance to go down in in flames this is a

00:05:41.400 catastrophic economic environment that we have never been in before in our lifetime this is worse than

00:05:48.840 2008 when the banks crashed this is like 1929 when the stock market crashed and precipitated

00:06:00.360 a decade of depression that's how bad this potentially could be this is why as maxime

00:06:06.840 bernier and as daniel smith told me as well premier of alberta cool it let's get through this let's not do

00:06:16.120 anything hasty or drastic and justin trudeau of course called donald trump yesterday and said hey 0.93

00:06:23.560 donald after i just insulted you and said you're pretty dumb justin trudeau says donald what do we 0.94

00:06:29.960 need to do what have i been telling you folks for the last four or five weeks justin trudeau did not 0.98

00:06:37.800 deliver on his promise for the border his 1.3 billion dollar border security plan is over six

00:06:44.440 years that never changed there's never been ten thousand personnel frontline personnel sent to the

00:06:50.680 border he never had any intention of doing that he appointed a f czar i have to say that

00:06:57.400 i have to describe that drug that way because sometimes it gets me in trouble

00:07:00.440 who was an advisor to justin trudeau who was a deputy minister in the trudeau government we

00:07:08.280 need someone like rick hellyer who's outside of the liberal government that's who we needed

00:07:13.080 as an f czar now donald trump wrote back to justin trudeau yesterday he said justin trudeau of canada

00:07:19.240 called me to ask what could be done about tariffs i had to ask him that i told him that many people have

00:07:26.360 died from from the f drug that came through the borders and nothing has convinced me that it has

00:07:35.320 stopped he said that it's gotten better but i said that's not good enough the call ended in a somewhat

00:07:40.520 friendly manner he was unable to tell me when the canadian election is taking place which made me

00:07:49.160 curious like what's going on here i then realized he is trying to use this issue

00:07:55.640 to stay in power good luck justin what have i been telling you all for the last three months

00:08:02.600 the liberal government wants a trade war because they want to use it to stay in power

00:08:09.240 that's what this is all about folks and that is a shame i'm going to run through a few things here

00:08:18.600 before we get to the interview and this is going to be good i can promise you that

00:08:22.200 i try to annihilate ontario i will do everything uh including cut off their energy with a smile on my

00:08:30.200 face so and i'm encouraging every other province to do the same quebec manitoba bc we all have to act 0.62

00:08:37.960 in unison out east they rely on our energy they need to feel the pain they want to come at us hard

00:08:44.600 we're going to come back twice as hard now and of course jagmeet singh going to keep the government

00:08:52.200 in power that's that's month that's monday's jagmeet singh that's wednesday's jagmeet singh

00:08:58.040 tuesday jagmeet singh says he's going to bring the government down remember this guy is just not

00:09:04.120 plausible to vote down at the government at your earliest opportunity do you still stand by that

00:09:10.680 statement and do you think now is the time for an election now is the time to put workers first

00:09:16.200 we need support for workers first put in place in place working an election afterwards

00:09:25.480 yeah thank thank you for that jagmeet here is how peter navarro first a close

00:09:31.720 advisor to donald trump is putting the situation they're very serious about the drug problem at the

00:09:37.960 border and but i don't want to contribute to that what i want to say to every world leader who gets

00:09:44.120 up in arms when all we're asking for is fairness and to have them stop killing our people is please

00:09:50.200 listen to us canada could do a lot more canada has been taken over brett by mexican cartels they bring up 0.97

00:09:58.920 they bring up these pill presses and printers and the medicines that they fake

00:10:06.520 you can't tell the difference yeah it's major companies can you need a spectographer to do

00:10:12.600 yeah i'm going to move to the interview now and i i tell you this this is a pleasure to show you this

00:10:19.480 i i've never spoken to jeffrey rath before and it was a great experience and i'm going to be

00:10:25.720 consulting with him again in the future on a number of issues like i said in bill c63 and if we ever have

00:10:32.200 to see that ugly piece of legislation again but it's interesting to note that we're facing the

00:10:38.520 same kind of western alienation that is more pronounced in alberta that we did in the early 80s at the end of

00:10:45.800 pier trudeau's reign and now we're at the end of justin trudeau's reign we're having the same sense

00:10:52.120 of western alienation in western canada especially alberta and of course we're facing another

00:11:00.680 crisis at that time you know the federal government was trying to take alberta's oil and gas away

00:11:06.760 well they've threatened to do that again right now during this tariff war this trade war so history

00:11:14.120 does kind of repeat itself and i remember at the time in the early 80s a lot of people were interested

00:11:21.320 in the western canada concept party a lot of people were interested in westfed under elmer newtson

00:11:28.280 we're back there again and this is what is happening in alberta watch this before i let you talk i'm

00:11:36.760 sorry for going on but your sub stack article i just want to read a couple of sentences from it

00:11:43.000 because i think it's beautifully written and very self-explanatory as you say with the election of

00:11:48.280 donald trump alberta has a unique opportunity to shed its inferior status as a canadian proverb province

00:11:55.160 and you put that in quotation marks effectively a colony of ontario and quebec and become an american

00:12:00.760 state there is no doubt that president donald trump would happily announce alberta statehood as the

00:12:07.720 greatest real estate deal since the louisiana purchase as the culmination of the american 250th

00:12:15.080 anniversary celebration the good news for president trump is that thanks to the quebec secession

00:12:21.240 reference at the supreme court of canada trump doesn't have to buy alberta from canada albertans

00:12:27.560 only need to vote to leave so i'll i'll begin there and perhaps we can start with it with the fact that

00:12:38.360 obviously donald trump's talk about canada being the 51st state didn't get you interested in the

00:12:46.040 possibility of alberta no longer being part of canada so no no i've been i've been feeling this way for

00:12:53.960 quite a long time and i have to say it really came to a head for me um when justin trudeau

00:12:59.720 unnecessarily declared the war measures act um against my fellow albertans who simply went to

00:13:06.600 ottawa to peacefully protest uh you know his ridiculous um uh you know anti-canadian unconstitutional

00:13:15.240 violations of our rights you know as as they thought they should be able to as canadian citizens but 0.62

00:13:21.160 apparently you know if you're from alberta and you drive a diesel truck nobody in ottawa wants to

00:13:26.840 be reminded as to how their groceries are delivered and you know we need to take our dirty smelly diesel 1.00

00:13:32.440 trucks and our dirty smelly oil and go home or face 10 years in an ontario prison so that's where you

00:13:39.160 know this really gelled for me but i have to say that you know i'm a fifth generation albertan my daughter

00:13:45.000 remember obviously as a sixth generation albertan and uh i've always considered myself more albertan

00:13:51.560 than i've considered myself canadian over the years and this i mean the the last you know the the you

00:13:58.680 know the the eight years of the trudeau regime have really been the last straw not only for me but

00:14:03.480 you know for a lot of my fellow albertans who are you know extremely well educated professional people

00:14:08.920 with you know uh multiple university degrees you know we're fed up and we see no reason to continue 0.99

00:14:15.480 being governed by complete idiots from ontario and quebec that don't even know that you know where 1.00

00:14:21.240 their oil comes from you know they thought that they could shut the the tap of alberta oil off the 1.00

00:14:26.440 united states to punish president trump um for tariffs and that would teach him a lesson well they're 0.96

00:14:32.440 all too dumb to know that their own oil comes from alberta goes down through you know michigan up through 0.98

00:14:38.600 line nine um illinois and then into uh you know back into ontario and quebec so if they shut off 0.98

00:14:44.840 alberta oil they'd effectively be doing what a lot of albertans suggested that we should do going back 0.92

00:14:50.280 to the law heat days which is to let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark but they're going to be 1.00

00:14:54.120 doing it to themselves i mean you know it's just ridiculous that we're governed by people that are so 0.99

00:15:01.000 ignorant of the basic structure of their own economy you know and like the rest of us in alberta like 0.89

00:15:07.960 normal people in alberta are going like we just can't be governed by these people anymore they're 1.00

00:15:11.160 just too stupid to deal with and then yesterday we had doug ford apparently hadn't learned the line 0.99

00:15:16.680 nine lesson red face jumping up and down you know telling you know the trump administration if they're 1.00

00:15:22.280 going to tear off ontario that he's going to flip the switch and cut off the power to cut off the

00:15:27.240 energy to north the north the northeast so literally what he was threatening amounted to an act of war

00:15:32.520 because if it crashed the northeast power grid there's going to be at least i would guess at

00:15:37.800 minimum five or six hundred deaths you know whether it's from you know traffic lights going out or

00:15:43.160 hospitals you know ventilators failing you know generators not kicking in and all the rest of it

00:15:48.280 so trump is you know i'm sorry you know um ford was literally trying to threaten president trump

00:15:54.040 with um you know killing at least 500 americans by shutting off the electricity to north north the

00:15:59.880 northeast well completely again forgetting the lesson that we thought they learned a month earlier

00:16:05.640 which is all trump had what happened to do is go to illinois to the bottom of line nine turn the tap

00:16:11.400 and shut off all of the oil to ontario and quebec like you know we're just being governed we're being 0.99

00:16:17.080 governed by childish stupid people and um albertans are fed up with it well it's interesting too that 0.99

00:16:25.880 this trudeau has intensified western alienation i think to the same degree that his maybe father or at 1.00

00:16:33.880 least the other trudeau pierre trudeau intensified western alienation it was at the tail end of

00:16:40.840 pierre trudeau's tenure as prime minister that westerners became very angry especially albertans

00:16:46.360 but donald trump talked last night in his address the joint session of congress about taking the

00:16:54.280 panama canal back no ifs ands or buts he's he's taking it talked about greenland he said greenland is

00:17:01.880 we're going to allow the people there to make a decision but we're encouraging them to come to

00:17:06.920 the states he did not specifically talk about canada as a 51st state talked about tariffs quite a bit

00:17:13.400 but do you think this is a unique opportunity for people like yourself who have who have fought for

00:17:19.960 western or albert let's call it alberta independence you think this is a unique opportunity to to promote

00:17:27.400 that concept to to sell that concept to some people in alberta who might otherwise not have considered

00:17:33.880 it as a viable option but if the end result is statehood or i think you would even prefer being

00:17:41.640 a territory of the united states do you think that that makes this more palatable to a lot of albertans

00:17:48.600 well let's start with you know the benefits of this to my fellow albertans and keep in mind the current

00:17:53.720 polling in albertas 34 of albertans are in favor of alberta independence right so that's you know

00:18:00.200 that's almost two million people we're close to you know we're close to uh um uh you know we're close

00:18:05.240 to uh 5 million in population now right so that's without them being told what the benefits would be

00:18:12.520 of alberta independence from canada no longer would we be sending 15 billion dollars of hard-working

00:18:19.240 albertans uh you know uh tax dollars to quebec every year so that quebec could have gold played

00:18:24.520 the social services that alberta only dreams of at the expense of alberta so that quebec can then have

00:18:30.440 these social services paid for by alberta um uh while running surplus budgets and while alberta is

00:18:37.160 continuing to have to borrow money to pay our doctors and build our roads and the rest of it right

00:18:41.800 you know i think that's that's a big selling feature but the other thing is that

00:18:45.720 if alberta became independent from canada right we would have no more federal income tax you know

00:18:53.800 forget about tariffs everybody keeps forgetting that the the trudeau junta um is preparing to slap us all

00:19:00.120 with a 21 increase in the carbon tax in april you know which is going to be probably as crippling or

00:19:06.280 more crippling to the canadian economy than the tariffs that have been levied by president trump because

00:19:11.480 it's right across the board on all energy all home heating trucks uh uh cars anything people need to

00:19:18.440 go to work all of the inputs into everything that we have groceries you name it they're adding a 20 you

00:19:23.800 know they're adding a 21 um kicker on on energy costs right and maybe the reason that trudeau's so

00:19:30.360 mad about this and thinks it's the end of canada is because he doesn't want to back off on his 21

00:19:36.520 carbon tax he's already booked that and cooked that into the books and all of a sudden if trump

00:19:41.400 president trump puts tariffs on the united states maybe trudeau can't afford his carbon tax anymore

00:19:46.200 because it's going to be even more damaging to the canadian economy but again you know albertans

00:19:50.680 are fed up with all of this right the idea that somebody in ottawa could suggest that plant fertilizer

00:19:57.400 specifically co2 is harmful to them and that they should be paying you know double and triple what 1.00

00:20:03.880 they would normally pay for home heating and you know gas and diesel for their trucks to go to work and

00:20:08.520 farm and and live their lives you know we're just not down for that anymore you know we're not we're

00:20:13.480 not with it and especially when you look at the climate reductions in canada being such a drop in

00:20:18.440 the bucket globally that even if we met the most optimistic climate targets available the increased 0.74

00:20:26.520 output from india and china annually make any savings that we get by you know from kicking the crap out of 0.99

00:20:33.400 day-to-day working albertans you know completely you know a complete nullity so all of this is symbolism

00:20:39.880 it's also jibo you know you know our uh you know the gibberish you vote can go talk to uh says that he can

00:20:46.120 talk to india and china from a period you know from a perspective of moral authority so they're harming 1.00

00:20:51.880 albertans and destroying the lives of the citizens of alberta so that jibo can hold his head up high when he goes to hector and

00:20:59.880 lecture um india and china about the fact that they're continuing to build coal-fired power plants 0.99

00:21:06.360 i mean this is the stupidity that we live with on a day-to-day basis that rankles university 0.99

00:21:12.280 educated albertans who understand that everything that's going on is just a massive fraud 1.00

00:21:19.240 yeah and i think you're preaching the converted in terms of how ineffective this carbon tax is at

00:21:25.240 reducing anything except the amount of cash in your wallet the amount of money in your bank account

00:21:35.560 but let's let's keep going through the benefits of albert independence so no yes go ahead no carbon tax

00:21:41.560 no um uh no um uh excise tax no gst you know and basically we what we could have in alberta because

00:21:49.800 we're no longer going to be spending or sending 15 billion dollars a year to quebec who cooks their 1.00

00:21:55.400 books so they can pretend that they're a have-not province that money can all stay in alberta

00:22:00.200 and we could have one of the lowest tax rates in you know in north america in alberta we could have a

00:22:05.320 flat you know 10 or 15 percent income tax rate for both individuals and corporations and that would

00:22:11.240 be that and then if alberta voted for independence with um a view or with the immediate agreement of the

00:22:19.400 u.s that would we would become a u.s territory like the u.s virgin islands as an example or guam or 0.76

00:22:25.320 american samoa or puerto rico well the status of an american territory is that the citizens of that

00:22:32.760 territory actually pay u.s um uh federal tax so we wouldn't have to pay u.s income tax either we would

00:22:39.320 be paying local tax and the benefit that the the united states would get out of the out of that

00:22:44.840 arrangement is free access um to alberta markets the ability of american financial institutions and

00:22:51.320 banks to you know to locate and do business in alberta um obviously we'd have a thriving dairy

00:22:56.600 industry in alberta because we'd be out of supply management and you know alberta dairy farmers could

00:23:01.960 have as many here dairy cows as they wanted and produce as much milk and cheese as the market would

00:23:07.560 would support um you know there's so many benefits to um uh you know alberta becoming independent

00:23:15.720 under the you know under the umbrella of the u.s that that if this were properly sold to the citizens

00:23:23.000 of alberta including the fact that their tax burden would be more than halved and the vibrancy of their

00:23:30.440 economy would likely more than double right who wouldn't vote for that you know and then you know and

00:23:36.600 then you know and then of course the sales pitch to you know to the you know all the all the 20

00:23:40.600 year old kids is oh and by the way you don't have to go through u.s customs to go to vegas anymore

00:23:44.840 right and i mean i think there's a lot of albertans that would vote you know would vote for it on that

00:23:48.920 basis right you know i think culture i mean we're far sorry go ahead no i was going to say i think if

00:23:55.240 you had talked about this idea or when donald trump first started talking about the idea of canada being

00:24:02.840 the 51st state it was dismissed by i think a large majority of canadians being just impossible

00:24:08.840 don't don't go there but i believe the tariff issue has been so badly mismanaged not just by

00:24:17.480 the federal government not just by the trudeau liberals but now by the official opposition

00:24:21.880 conservatives because i'm hearing pure poly of talk exactly like justin trudeau now about about

00:24:27.080 what to do about the tariffs hit back as hard as possible or he sounds like doug ford he sounds who

00:24:32.120 sounds like justin trudeau they're all talking like this i had i had a very good conversation

00:24:37.000 this morning on air with maxime bernier i think he's the only federal politician of course not

00:24:42.520 even in the house of commons who's talking about just cool off before this gets worse don't talk

00:24:49.320 retaliatory tariffs but i think this has created an environment where what you're talking about

00:24:55.960 seems feasible for the first time in decades well and i don't and i'm great i'm grateful for it

00:25:03.080 because i mean for you know for the first time i think we're at a tipping point in history i really

00:25:07.320 do and i think that alberta leaving uh canada and becoming an independent territorial republic of the

00:25:15.000 united states is you know is far more likely now than it has been uh you know in a hundred years i mean

00:25:22.360 there's no two there's no two ways about it albertans are fed up um you know and again a lot

00:25:27.720 of this for me goes back to covid um you know when you know when uh all of the science indicated that

00:25:33.800 the covid vaccines didn't stop transmission of the coronavirus didn't prevent people from catching the

00:25:38.920 coronavirus there was absolutely no reason whatsoever that a healthy adult with no symptoms whatsoever

00:25:45.960 you know couldn't at their own risk of catching you know coronavirus from somebody who's been vaccinated

00:25:51.320 get on an airplane and travel the world as he always has but no i was a prisoner of alberta

00:25:56.760 for three years thanks to justin trudeau and i think i facetiously remarked at the time at one

00:26:01.880 of the meetings we were having on alberta independence is that i am so you know ticked

00:26:06.440 off with trudeau and the government in ottawa that i'm just gonna i'm ready to just take my

00:26:11.720 province and if they're not gonna let me travel i'm just gonna take my province and leave

00:26:15.480 because i'm tired of it i'm sick you know there's lots of us that are sick and tired of it

00:26:18.920 you know having a bunch of people in ottawa that don't understand us don't understand our culture

00:26:23.240 don't like us don't like our culture constantly sneer at our dirty oil and our diesel trucks and

00:26:29.960 how backward and redneck we all are i mean yeah i'm a backward redneck with an honors degree in

00:26:34.680 political science from the university of alberta and an honors degree in law from the london school

00:26:38.440 of economics so i guess i'm a pretty backward redneck but i mean that's how we're treated by ontario

00:26:43.480 and uh ottawa on you know on the on the regular and a lot of albertans are just fed up with it

00:26:49.960 yeah i think a lot of a lot of canadians are fed up as well but

00:26:54.600 i i don't think there's been a rational response from ottawa on this and you mentioned the similarities

00:27:01.080 to cobit i could not agree more because during covet of course we had this blanket opinion shared by the

00:27:08.760 government the federal government all provincial governments municipal governments and of course

00:27:14.040 the media and the education system all repeating the same talking points and it's happening again

00:27:20.360 right now with how do we get over these tariffs well we increase them to 75 percent by retaliating

00:27:26.280 against the u.s and things will be better and it's insanity and when nobody in ottawa is saying

00:27:32.120 anything different i agree with you it's like we are being told what to say what to think but i but i do

00:27:38.120 believe this is going to pop up elsewhere just as it did with the freedom convoy which which i covered

00:27:43.720 i was there february 2022 i was there when the emergencies act was declared i was there when they

00:27:51.480 when peaceful protest was crushed by three police forces and some sometimes international police forces

00:27:59.240 i was there and i wrote about it and just as an aside next wednesday uh i i i've been promising to

00:28:07.080 mention this every day this week is the verdict day for tamara leach and chris barber i've been at

00:28:13.480 their trial since it opened just after labor day a year and a half ago this is a mischief trial and i mean

00:28:20.600 i'm sure you've got lots to say about that as well and but in next week we're going to find out what

00:28:26.440 happens to these two and i'm hoping it's good news but the freedom convoy changed things in canada i i i

00:28:34.760 i can't say enough about what their heroism did for canada and for and for stopping to some degree

00:28:42.920 the tyranny of trudeau but i think we're as you said we're at a tipping point right now in canada

00:28:48.680 and i think virtually anything is possible and we haven't been there in quite a while i'm with you 100

00:28:56.760 first of all i want to say i know tamara leach personally and hold her in extremely high regard

00:29:02.280 and in fact i you know i would say you know i've met her i met her husband i love tamara leach she's a

00:29:07.880 wonderful human being who's been horribly mistreated and railroaded by one of the greatest sham criminal 0.62

00:29:14.120 trials you know in canadian history and uh you know if the verdict is anything other than not guilty or

00:29:21.240 alternatively if you know tamara leach's liberty is any impinged any further after having drug her back

00:29:28.040 and forth across the country in manacles and chains on several occasions um you know you know that's

00:29:35.080 you know as far as i'm concerned just a complete travesty and underlines everything that's wrong

00:29:40.200 with um you know the justice meted out by east you know by you know by ottawa uh towards albertans and

00:29:46.920 i mean that's you know and i i mean that sincerely from the bottom of my heart tamara leach is a hero as

00:29:52.040 far as far as i'm concerned i feel the same way that you do that the freedom convoy was a peaceful

00:29:57.960 protest in perfect you know in perfect harmony with the spirit of canada people lined up on

00:30:04.360 overpasses and on highways right across the country as you know as a peaceful protest went to ottawa to

00:30:10.520 express our views to our government and you know you know indigenous elders end up being run over by riot

00:30:17.800 horses at the order of justice trudeau and now we have to listen to david lemetti and some other

00:30:22.520 jackass joke about the fact that they're really sorry that they didn't have access to leopard tanks

00:30:27.240 i mean this is this is why you know this is why albertans are fed up and why it is that we do not

00:30:32.600 think that uh alberta has a place in canada anymore you know and quite frankly you know from a cultural

00:30:37.640 perspective we have far more in common you know i would say that with people in montana than we do

00:30:42.200 anybody you know with you know with some obvious exceptions david you don't want to be overly

00:30:46.840 generalized or be overly bigoted but you know we have far more in you know in common with people

00:30:51.800 in montana than we do with the citizens of ottawa who can't stand the smell of diesel and the odd horn

00:30:57.560 honking yeah the commonality is definitely north south in this country it's never been east west

00:31:02.920 and we've artificially at times i think bound this country together with a with a federal government

00:31:08.600 that's always usurping provincial autonomy but we that's that's a discussion for another day but when

00:31:15.640 do you think you're going to get this delegation together and down in washington well we you know

00:31:20.920 we've had i've said several steering committee meetings today i mean i'm working with people

00:31:25.560 we're putting together um you know a package of you know of materials and and briefing notes and those

00:31:31.720 types of things i mean we're not we don't want to go down there um and come across as anything other

00:31:36.280 than serious professionals with a serious professional message that we want to deliver and you know on top of

00:31:41.560 it you know we want to um you know we want to you know there's a number of questions and another a

00:31:46.520 number of items that our fellow albertans will want to have answers to and we'll want to have

00:31:50.600 you know discussions with uh you know people at the appropriate level in the united states as to how

00:31:55.320 those concerns can be met including you know converting uh you know alberta pensions into us dollars at

00:32:01.560 par things like that that are you know of concern to you know people in alberta living on fixed incomes that

00:32:07.240 you know aren't necessarily going to benefit from the massive economic boom that's going to be created

00:32:11.880 by you know freeing the alberta economy from the yoke of canadian federalism right so you know there's

00:32:17.240 a number of you know there's a number of issues that we're you know that we're discussing and that

00:32:20.360 we know that need to be addressed in a very you know serious and sober manner and you know on a sort

00:32:25.800 of on a fact-finding basis it's our hope that the delegation that will be going to washington

00:32:30.600 will be able to address uh those issues uh with members of the trump administration and that we

00:32:36.280 would then be able to come back to alberta and answer questions that our fellow citizens would

00:32:40.600 have and hopefully even uh you know even get some time with the uh um you know with the alberta

00:32:46.280 conservative caucus the governing party caucus to explain to them who we are what we are why we

00:32:51.240 feel the way that we feel and why it is that we think that the alberta legislature should be voting

00:32:56.760 sooner rather than later um to schedule a referendum six months from now um so that we can have

00:33:03.400 the gears in motion um so that president trump will be able to you know announce the freedom of alberta

00:33:09.640 um you know as part of the uh us 250th anniversary uh celebrations well i think it's it's great if you

00:33:17.320 can't sit down with the with the provincial conservatives i think premier daniel smith who's

00:33:22.200 a personal friend of mine we both worked at the calgary herald many years ago i have a lot of respect at

00:33:28.200 and admiration for daniel i think she's done all of the heavy lifting with these tariff negotiations

00:33:34.120 she's the only political leader in canada who seems to understand donald trump and whom donald trump

00:33:40.840 seems to understand but i think at the very least jeffrey if you can get down to washington

00:33:47.240 and get the attention of these dunderheads in ottawa who think we can somehow win a trade war going

00:33:54.120 toe-to-to-toe with the most powerful nation on the earth and that canada is not going to descend

00:33:59.480 into a great depression with a capital g and a capital d i think at least you've achieved something

00:34:06.760 because i am sick to death not just of the trudeau liberals right now i'm very very disappointed in

00:34:12.360 pier polia who i've known for many many years and i'm very disappointed with him adopting trudeau's

00:34:19.880 talking points and i think if you can shake up what's happening i and i wrote a substack warning

00:34:27.000 against that very thing i had a very lengthy um uh discussion over an hour and a half with my own

00:34:32.280 personal mp saying whatever you do do not let pierre polia go the way of aaron o'toole and you know

00:34:39.880 simply mimic liberal talking points you know like aaron o'toole i think lost the election because his

00:34:45.320 whole platform was well we're going to lock you down nicer and we're going to vaccinate you less

00:34:50.360 you know uh you know less ferociously i mean that's not what people wanted to hear you know and

00:34:55.880 you know and the same thing with this you know aaron o'toole's mealy-mouthed approach to the convoy

00:35:00.120 right so you know and i i told my member of parliament i said we can't have pierre doing the

00:35:04.920 same thing he has to you know he has to um come out with his own platform and following that

00:35:10.760 conversation i actually wrote a substack it was entitled little justin trudeau starts a tariff war

00:35:16.600 and i set out a 13-point plan as to how all of these tariffs could have been avoided um you know

00:35:21.880 and then i expected you know that i would i would hope that pierre would adopt his conservative party

00:35:26.760 policy but of course the problem we have is that there are too many people in ontario and quebec

00:35:33.400 who suffer from a very extreme form of trump derangement syndrome and i think that pierre

00:35:39.080 polyev and his political advisors are concerned that if he says anything that's the least bit

00:35:45.560 complimentary of president trump or indicating that in large degree president trump is right

00:35:51.960 let alone even suggesting that we should apologize um you know it's the canadian it's the canadian

00:35:57.240 national sport for god's sake i don't know why we can't say we're sorry to the united states for

00:36:01.240 cheating them out of billions of dollars by cheating by embezzling money through our lack of

00:36:05.960 nato funding over the last two decades i mean what's so hard about acknowledging the fact that

00:36:11.080 we're spending barely more than one percent of gdp on uh our nato treaty obligations when the

00:36:17.400 obligation is clearly two percent and we've allowed our military to atrophy to the point where canada is

00:36:22.920 clearly barely sovereign anymore and it's just a military protectorate of the united states yet

00:36:28.840 instead of you know instead of acknowledging that you know we're still worried about our chief of

00:36:32.840 defense staff who's more concerned with making sure that there's tampons in the men's infantry barracks 0.99

00:36:38.280 than ensuring that you know that we're that she's lobbying her masters in ottawa to make sure that

00:36:44.280 we're spending 43 billion a year on defenses required by the nato treaty i mean this is what we're dealing

00:36:50.280 with exactly and you know i think there's an old statement attributed to richard nixon the u.s

00:36:57.960 president nixon he said in the primaries you run to the right and the election you run to the center

00:37:04.920 i think pauliev is aware of this statement i think he really believes that he can do the aaron tool

00:37:09.880 thing aaron o'toole who i who i knew from the for my military days and i was once again very vastly

00:37:17.640 disappointed with aaron tool decision to be a red tory and become just like the liberals but i i think

00:37:23.480 if pauliev decides that he can actually win an election i know who he's listening to

00:37:28.360 it's the communications department of the conservative party of canada many of whom

00:37:33.080 i know they're the same people who submerged stephen harper in his last four years and told him

00:37:40.360 yeah you've got a majority but don't do anything truly conservative because you've got to think about

00:37:45.640 the next election so what happened in the next election he got torpedoed by justin trudeau so he he

00:37:51.160 missed an opportunity to do some truly great conservative historic projects never got around

00:37:57.240 to it because he was worried about reelection and it turned out he was defeated anyway so i i think

00:38:02.680 pauliev needs a reality check i've invited him on my program i've known i've known pierre since before

00:38:08.760 he even became an mp but no they're saying nope can't do it right now and i said hey i promise i won't

00:38:16.760 even talk about ukraine no but i mean that's what i was saying in my substack it's like i'm telling my

00:38:22.280 fellow albertans by all means you know vote for pierre pauliev in the next election because it'd be

00:38:27.960 you know it would be helpful for alberta to have a voice a bigger voice in the government provided that

00:38:32.840 pierre can win but the way he's going i don't know that he can um you know a bigger voice in the

00:38:37.320 government to help ease alberta out of canada but don't think for a second don't think for a second

00:38:43.240 that pierre pauliev is going to do anything to change the structure of canadian federalism

00:38:47.320 that he's going to do anything to stop the bleeding of albertans billions and billions

00:38:52.680 and billions of dollars into you know into social service programs in quebec that we could only dream

00:38:57.320 about having in alberta um you know etc etc pierre pauliev knows he's going to get elected you know

00:39:03.080 out of that same you know toronto 905 belt um uh you know montreal nexus along with the maritimes that

00:39:10.360 you know the trudeau gets elected out of and he knows that they are that so many of them are so

00:39:15.160 trump deranged that if you do anything that take the mealy-mouthed approach that he's taking right 0.94

00:39:20.680 now that he's not going to get elected and i just think it's pathetic i really do me too 0.87

00:39:27.400 you're talking to the converted yeah jeffrey rath attorney but freedom fighter and i i don't

00:39:34.440 want you to take this the wrong way but you're fighting for alberta i appreciate that in your

00:39:39.480 own way i think you're also fighting for a canada i can vaguely remember that really stood up for

00:39:45.080 values and principles that i i believed in and what i've seen from the last decade from the trudeau

00:39:50.760 government i can't believe any of that which is why i'm not out there saying damn that donald trump

00:39:57.000 because donald trump is bringing down the woke forces of dei critical race theory and all of these 0.80

00:40:04.200 these horrible toxic systems that have infected our government our military our school system

00:40:11.800 so i'm not going to throw donald trump out because i'm having a disagreement over tariffs because i think

00:40:17.000 in the long run donald trump could be very good for canada if in fact we allow that to happen but

00:40:23.880 thank you for your fight but but no i i really do appreciate that i think what people need to

00:40:30.760 internalize is i don't think at any point anybody either terry or quebec specifically asked president

00:40:37.080 trump what he's looking for you know in in order to avoid tariffs right i mean what you know what trump

00:40:43.000 is saying is if you take reciprocity at face value we'll only tear a few what what um uh what you tear

00:40:49.720 us i mean that's actually the perfect definition of free trade if we have zero tariffs on you you

00:40:57.000 have zero tariffs on us and we all go forward but instead we have all these canadian sacred so-called

00:41:01.880 sacred cows that we defend like supply management boards i mean dairy marketing boards have been

00:41:08.920 screwing canadian consumers from coast to coast to coast for you know for decades single moms having 1.00

00:41:15.000 to pay you know twice or three times the price that they should be paying for milk and cheese

00:41:19.320 because there's a bunch of rich multi-millionaire farmers in you know in you know mainly in quebec

00:41:24.520 and ontario but certainly we have them in alberta as well that benefit from having these um uh dairy

00:41:29.880 marketing board quotas um that allow them to produce milk within the milk system that effectively have

00:41:35.880 turned into licenses to print money and you know and our canadian trade negotiators refuse to let that go

00:41:43.240 and allow wisconsin cheese into canada so we're gonna you know we're literally gonna sacrifice the entire

00:41:48.840 canadian economy on behalf of uh on behalf of uh licensed milk producers this is ludicrous

00:41:57.640 and that's the country we live in so jeffrey rath thank you for joining me today and i i encourage

00:42:03.000 you to keep fighting for freedom and that's that's something we can all agree with and that's what this

00:42:07.480 country needs most of all so i'll probably be in touch with you again on some other issues we'll

00:42:12.680 see what happens with bill c63 and other things and uh potential class action suits on covid there's

00:42:20.520 a lot of subject matter i know you cover well i appreciate you joining you'll probably you'll

00:42:25.240 probably want an update as we're getting closer to leaving for washington and then you'll probably

00:42:28.920 want to hear back from me when we get back to the results yeah no i would definitely like an update

00:42:33.880 at that point so we'll so we'll certainly stay in touch all right thank you for joining me today

00:42:39.320 and we'll we'll talk again my pleasure thanks for having me there

00:42:43.480 yes thank you for coming on the show jeffrey rath and thank you for all your comments i had a chance

00:42:56.920 to put some of your comments up today i know some of you just love this guy some of you don't don't

00:43:01.080 agree with him i mean i think it it's an illustration this is why i did this interview of how desperate

00:43:07.720 things are people are looking for alternatives to the chaos that reigns in ottawa right now because

00:43:15.080 the federal government and the official opposition are in lockstep towards disaster they're marching

00:43:21.800 towards a chasm they're marching towards disaster and this is why we need to have alternate opinions on

00:43:29.320 the show and like i say some of you don't like maxine bernie some of you do but we need to hear what

00:43:35.400 they're saying because right now as jeffrey rath mentioned we're in the midst of another covid

00:43:42.520 narrative where there's only one narrative out there in the mainstream media and believe me if you

00:43:48.920 have another narrative on social media on independent media on new media it's being suppressed and we need 1.00

00:43:56.200 to hear something else other than let's get those damn americans let's punish the americans with 1.00

00:44:02.200 reciprocal tariffs because all those tariffs are are taxes on canadians thanks for watching today i 0.99

00:44:08.360 think we've you've said enough i'll be back again tomorrow with all the news you need to know and

00:44:16.600 let's continue to resolve to resist tyranny in this country and let's continue to fight for freedom thank

00:44:22.680 thank you for watching
