Transcript

00:00:01.000 The governments keep talking about how they have these wonderful plans for home building.
00:00:05.940 You know what they need to do?
00:00:07.500 Only one thing.
00:00:09.720 Get out of the way.
00:00:11.940 Get out of the way.
00:00:18.040 That, of course, was Conservative leader Pierre Paliyev talking about housing in Canada.
00:00:23.420 His solution? Get out of the way.
00:00:24.900 The government, get out of the way.
00:00:26.240 We've got the private sector in Canada to build houses.
00:00:29.240 We don't want government-building, Soviet-style block housing.
00:00:33.580 We won't be talking much about housing today, but we've got some great topics.
00:00:38.080 I'm so happy you joined me today.
00:00:39.960 This is David Creighton broadcasting to you live from Ottawa.
00:00:44.100 We'll be back momentarily with more.
00:00:46.180 Stand on guard.
00:00:47.140 Thank you for tuning in today.
00:00:53.140 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie.
00:00:57.620 Your home is your castle.
00:01:00.860 We're calling on the government to introduce and immediately pass the Stand on Guard Law.
00:01:06.460 But we also need to resolve to resist.
00:01:10.560 Yes, please like the station.
00:01:21.760 Share it now with your friends and family so we can get those numbers up.
00:01:25.860 Please subscribe if you haven't already.
00:01:28.260 And you might need to re-subscribe because, yes, people have been known to be unsubscribed without even being aware of it.
00:01:39.080 So here we are, one day away from the anniversary of September 11th.
00:01:43.060 And, by the way, if you have a chance to watch Tucker Carlson's show on that this week, I highly recommend it.
00:01:48.580 I think it's going to be extremely interesting.
00:01:51.300 And he's already, of course, begun that.
00:01:55.020 Trying to keep you up to date on a lot of things.
00:01:56.860 I'm waiting to hear back today from Katie Passatney in British Columbia with the Universal Ostrich Farms.
00:02:05.440 The deadline passed yesterday for the temporary stay of the so-called cull.
00:02:13.400 So I'm waiting to hear back what's going on.
00:02:16.260 And, of course, they're awaiting an answer from the Supreme Court to see whether or not their case can be heard.
00:02:24.740 And we are still encouraging all of you to notify politicians, your MP, Mark Carney, Pierre Polyev.
00:02:35.940 Let them know how you feel about this so-called cull in British Columbia and how incredibly disastrous this is.
00:02:43.800 But before we get to my special guest today, who is going to be Jeff Rath.
00:02:48.880 And, of course, Jeff's been on the show multiple times.
00:02:51.120 He's the legal counsel for the Alberta Prosperity Project.
00:02:55.840 Very, very knowledgeable.
00:02:57.680 And, of course, he's an advocate of Alberta independence.
00:03:01.160 And we want to keep that issue out there.
00:03:03.780 And it's up to you whether or not you think this is a good idea or a bad idea.
00:03:09.700 I'm not an advocate for either side.
00:03:12.560 I'm sympathetic to both sides in this case.
00:03:16.620 But I can certainly understand why Alberta sped up.
00:03:20.600 And that's something we always talk about on this station.
00:03:25.180 Equalization is draining that province out of tens of billions of dollars going to so-called have-not provinces.
00:03:33.080 So, here's what I think might be the most important story of the week.
00:03:40.640 And we don't know how this is going to end.
00:03:44.500 But I have been talking about this now for months.
00:03:47.220 This just happened yesterday.
00:03:48.500 Poland shoots down Russian drones in its airspace for the first time.
00:03:51.820 Accuses Moscow of active aggression.
00:03:53.400 How many times have I warned about how alliance systems led to the First World War and how this alliance system calls NATO, which is way too big, way too complicated, too many members in the club.
00:04:11.460 So, the potential for war is always very real because there's just literally 90% of Europe belongs to NATO now.
00:04:23.620 So, could we be going to war with Russia over Poland?
00:04:28.680 Do you see the irony in this?
00:04:30.360 The Second World War was precipitated because Germany invaded Poland and Britain and France were committed to maintain Poland's sovereignty.
00:04:47.800 Canada declared war independently for the first time in the Second World War, September 13th, actually, when we decided we were in the war as well as part of the British Empire.
00:04:56.680 But, you know, the irony of that whole episode is that we never defended Poland.
00:05:04.320 We never went to Poland to defend it from Germany or, at that time, Russian Soviet troops came in from the east and occupied the eastern half of Poland because of a secret protocol with a Molotov-Ribbentrop pact,
00:05:25.040 which gave Germany the green light to invade Poland without fear of fighting a two-front war.
00:05:32.100 But, of course, the irony is we never defended Poland in the Second World War, and we ended up giving it to Stalin,
00:05:39.640 handing it over to Stalin at the Yalta Conference as their sphere of influence.
00:05:46.840 So, Poland got screwed twice in the Second World War.
00:05:53.280 Now, if Poland is going to be the precipitating event for the Third World War, God help us, because we do not want a nuclear war.
00:06:03.300 And I've been saying this constantly, but it's just amazing how history does seem to repeat itself.
00:06:07.740 So, I want to show you a little bit of Mark Carney acting like a fool.
00:06:14.660 This is a fascinating little clip here. I hope you enjoy this.
00:06:17.960 The federal government planning to change its climate change policies and targets for 2030 and 2035.
00:06:25.900 Well, the focus, as we stressed on Friday, and we will be going in more detail in the coming weeks,
00:06:36.100 our focus in this very rapidly changing global economy is on what we call climate competitiveness.
00:06:42.540 So, we see becoming low carbon in any industry as being a key driver of competitiveness.
00:06:49.080 So, let's take conventional oil and gas, for example, offshore oil and gas, Beta-Nor is an example.
00:06:56.480 That's one of the lowest carbon new oil fields, depending on how you develop it,
00:07:02.180 but that's the intention, one of the lowest carbon conventional oil and gas opportunities,
00:07:08.120 conventional energy, but oil and gas opportunities that this country has.
00:07:11.540 So, we look at that as a way of being competitive in conventional energy.
00:07:16.180 At the same time, we look at the immense opportunity in hydro, again with Churchill.
00:07:22.840 That doesn't just unlock $225 billion, and you know your numbers, Premier, $225 billion for Newfoundland and Labrador.
00:07:31.520 It creates enormous clean power that's going to be one of the key factors for manufacturing going forward,
00:07:38.080 for artificial intelligence, data centers going forward.
00:07:40.880 It creates a host of new economic opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec across Canada.
00:07:47.060 So, that focus on what can we do in order to drive emissions down in a way that makes the country more competitive is crucial.
00:07:55.700 Last point on it, and I can't stress this enough.
00:07:58.220 Our home-building strategy, Build Canada Homes, you'll be hearing more of that in the next few days.
00:08:02.280 That's not just about doubling the number of homes we're building in this.
00:08:09.100 This is the Soviet-style block housing that Mark Carney has talked about repeatedly.
00:08:15.220 He has no plan for housing.
00:08:19.340 And I like Pierre Polly's plan better.
00:08:21.380 Get out of the way, Mark Carney.
00:08:23.340 Government, get out of the way.
00:08:24.400 ...country by the end of the decade, or within the next decade.
00:08:26.880 It's about creating a new industry that is lower carbon, that's more efficient,
00:08:31.800 that homes themselves are more energy efficient by more than 20%, 25%.
00:08:35.700 And all of that will get our emissions down and make us more competitive.
00:08:40.900 So, that's the focus of the government.
00:08:43.620 The government is focused on results, making companies, businesses, industries more competitive.
00:08:51.340 Yeah, this is the kind of evasive talk you get from Mark.
00:08:56.880 The question I have is, how has he gotten away with this for his entire career?
00:09:04.980 Because he's talking the same way now as he always has, and we'll see that in a minute.
00:09:09.320 But it's embarrassing to listen to Mark Carney.
00:09:12.440 It really is.
00:09:13.680 With CBC News, Prime Minister, how do you plan to pay for these support measures?
00:09:17.620 Will it be adding to the deficit or through cutting programs?
00:09:21.100 The, so the measures we're taking, the Strategic Response Fund, liquidity so that businesses can pivot to grow.
00:09:29.980 What I'm talking about principally today, the Regional Tariff Response Initiative,
00:09:33.620 $80 million for Atlantic Canadian small, medium-sized enterprises, so they can invest in the future.
00:09:39.720 Those are investments.
00:09:40.900 Those are proud investments.
00:09:42.200 They're ambition investments for the future.
00:09:44.980 Investment is code word for government spending.
00:09:48.080 I've been hearing it for so long, I'm sick of it.
00:09:51.560 Governments don't make investments.
00:09:53.060 They spend your tax dollars.
00:09:55.100 And what the government is going to do, what we're in the process for the next budget,
00:09:59.360 is focusing on reducing waste, reducing unnecessary federal spending,
00:10:05.160 reducing the duplication in federal spending,
00:10:07.520 becoming more efficient in federal spending,
00:10:09.280 so that we have the room, we have the force to support our businesses so they can invest for the future.
00:10:15.280 That's what we're doing.
00:10:16.400 And a key message from today.
00:10:20.940 This is a very evasive babbling.
00:10:23.940 Yes.
00:10:25.600 The FSB was chaired until November of 2000.
00:10:28.920 Now this is a video that was sent to us by one of you good viewers.
00:10:35.160 And it shows you that nothing has changed with Mark Carney.
00:10:40.200 Mark Carney has never made any sense.
00:10:42.760 And he's gotten away with this for his entire career.
00:10:45.600 Now, of course, he's a bona fide politician.
00:10:49.080 And he knows exactly how to talk like a politician.
00:10:52.100 He says nothing.
00:10:53.900 And he means nothing.
00:10:55.160 2011 by Mario Draghi.
00:10:57.720 And has been chaired by Mark Carney ever since.
00:11:00.860 Both men are former Goldman Sachs executives.
00:11:03.340 Carney was chairman of the FSB when Osborne sent the letter that led to the DOJ's decision not to prosecute HSBC.
00:11:11.860 That was more than half a year before Carney joined the Bank of England as its governor.
00:11:17.040 As governor, Carney was asked by Parliament in 2016
00:11:20.860 if he and Osborne had discussed the HSBC case before the DOJ decided not to prosecute in 2012.
00:11:28.380 There are three possible answers to Andrew Tyree's yes-no question.
00:11:33.560 Yes, no, and I don't recall.
00:11:36.280 No and I don't recall are easy and harmless too.
00:11:40.180 Yes is easy as well.
00:11:42.020 But yes would mean that Carney discussed HSBC with Osborne
00:11:45.580 in his capacity as head of the Financial Stability Board,
00:11:49.400 not the Bank of England,
00:11:51.020 which he wouldn't join until the following year.
00:11:53.360 Tellingly, Carney chooses door number four,
00:11:57.160 which is evasive babbling.
00:11:58.960 It seems clear that there was some kind of intervention.
00:12:02.980 Were you aware of it?
00:12:04.140 Did the Chancellor discuss this with the government?
00:12:08.280 With respect to,
00:12:10.160 no, I'm not aware of,
00:12:12.600 I mean, we have discussions.
00:12:14.780 At least, can I speak in general terms?
00:12:16.520 Well, I've spoken on specific terms.
00:12:20.540 What I want to know is,
00:12:22.220 have you discussed this case with the Chancellor of the Checker
00:12:26.440 prior to the decision being taken by the attorney?
00:12:32.600 The specific case prior,
00:12:34.140 which decision is taken?
00:12:35.580 I mean, I've discussed...
00:12:37.460 Well, a decision has been taken
00:12:38.980 not to prosecute HSBC.
00:12:42.800 Carney never does say whether or not
00:12:44.840 he and Osborne discussed the case
00:12:46.640 before the DOJ decided not to indict,
00:12:49.780 testifying only that they didn't discuss meddling in the case,
00:12:53.360 a qualifier so elastic that this testimony is meaningless.
00:12:57.580 What Carney undoubtedly wants to know from counsel
00:12:59.960 is whether he can avoid answering yes
00:13:02.400 to the unqualified question
00:13:03.960 on grounds that when he did discuss the HSBC case,
00:13:08.040 Carney wasn't yet the Bank of England's governor,
00:13:10.620 in which capacity he's now offering his testimony.
00:13:13.500 Not getting the answer he wants,
00:13:16.380 Carney tries his first ruse again
00:13:18.160 of testifying in general terms,
00:13:20.860 but doesn't repeat his earlier mistake
00:13:22.880 of telling Tyree that this is his strategy.
00:13:25.860 He thus succeeds in deceiving Parliament
00:13:27.960 on two key points.
00:13:30.040 From my perspective,
00:13:31.780 my experience,
00:13:33.440 the judgments of the Department of Justice
00:13:36.700 and other U.S. judicial authorities,
00:13:40.080 and there are many,
00:13:41.820 they are black boxes,
00:13:45.200 and they make their decisions
00:13:46.620 based on their information.
00:13:48.220 We will have,
00:13:49.580 as the Bank of England
00:13:50.640 and the PRA,
00:13:52.180 we will have discussions
00:13:53.600 on their request
00:13:55.700 with U.S. financial stability authorities
00:13:58.320 in general terms
00:13:59.520 about some of these issues.
00:14:01.700 Carney's testimony
00:14:02.780 that the Department of Justice
00:14:04.220 is a black box,
00:14:05.760 sealed off from outside influence,
00:14:07.920 is both false and deceptive.
00:14:10.360 What Carney fails to mention
00:14:11.660 is that FSB representatives
00:14:13.440 were inside that black box
00:14:15.220 the entire time,
00:14:16.740 not only threatening
00:14:17.540 the destruction of both hemispheres
00:14:19.300 over indictment,
00:14:20.540 but relaying internal DOJ intel
00:14:22.720 back to the FSB,
00:14:24.520 which succeeded in getting the DOJ
00:14:26.460 to abandon its prosecution plans.
00:14:29.240 Once that happened,
00:14:30.120 in fact,
00:14:31.160 George Osborne couldn't even wait
00:14:32.660 three weeks
00:14:33.360 to announce that none other
00:14:34.580 than Mark Carney would become,
00:14:36.300 in July of the following year,
00:14:38.240 the first non-British governor
00:14:39.620 of the Bank of England
00:14:40.740 in its 318-year history.
00:14:43.980 Carney's testimony
00:14:44.760 that the DOJ makes decisions
00:14:46.680 in a black box
00:14:47.740 is simply ludicrous.
00:14:49.800 So is his testimony
00:14:50.860 that American authorities
00:14:52.200 initiate discussions
00:14:53.320 with British officials.
00:14:55.160 It was George Osborne
00:14:56.200 who wrote to Geithner and Bernanke,
00:14:58.140 not the other way around,
00:14:59.480 and FSB chairman Mark Carney
00:15:01.780 damn well knew it.
00:15:03.800 Indeed, the FSB set up
00:15:05.360 its initiative on cooperation
00:15:06.920 and information exchange
00:15:08.380 so it can reach out
00:15:09.800 to national authorities
00:15:10.980 for intel
00:15:11.680 and bring non-compliant countries
00:15:13.680 to heel.
00:15:14.920 The so-called information exchange,
00:15:16.840 in fact,
00:15:17.480 is openly regarded
00:15:18.740 as a tool of coercion.
00:15:20.220 So here we have a man
00:15:28.620 who has made his entire career,
00:15:31.120 who has spent his entire career
00:15:32.340 being evasive,
00:15:33.380 never telling you the whole story,
00:15:35.780 never even wanting
00:15:36.820 to tell you the whole story.
00:15:38.080 And he's still getting away with it.
00:15:39.380 It is a mystery to me
00:15:40.940 why Mark Carney
00:15:42.400 still enjoys
00:15:43.440 the high approval rating he does.
00:15:45.140 when he's,
00:15:46.520 quite accurately,
00:15:48.100 he is Mr. Net Zero,
00:15:49.880 not just in terms of
00:15:50.840 the environmental,
00:15:52.420 radical environmental policies,
00:15:54.100 but in terms of his achievements.
00:15:57.000 Zero
00:15:57.480 since he's been
00:15:58.740 prime minister for five months.
00:16:00.740 Here's an incredible story
00:16:02.240 because
00:16:02.760 this goes to show you
00:16:04.400 how
00:16:04.860 broken
00:16:05.980 Canada
00:16:06.540 is.
00:16:08.100 This is
00:16:08.560 incredible to me
00:16:10.420 that the people
00:16:11.280 in Taranjo,
00:16:12.960 one of the most liberal cities
00:16:14.400 in Canada,
00:16:14.940 are rebelling
00:16:16.440 against
00:16:17.280 photo radar.
00:16:19.900 And that started
00:16:20.500 with a couple of
00:16:21.280 photo radar machines
00:16:23.880 being
00:16:24.180 brought down.
00:16:26.320 Now we're up to
00:16:27.420 what is it,
00:16:28.940 13 or 16?
00:16:29.620 I was knocking them out
00:16:30.820 under cover of darkness.
00:16:32.300 At least 16 were
00:16:33.440 speed cameras
00:16:34.960 knocking them out
00:16:35.920 under cover of darkness.
00:16:37.180 At least 16 were damaged
00:16:38.760 just last night.
00:16:39.720 The city is calling it
00:16:41.220 coordinated vandalism.
00:16:43.300 CDV's Alison Hurst
00:16:44.520 is in Toronto
00:16:45.200 with the mystery
00:16:45.920 and the controversy.
00:16:47.560 Alison,
00:16:48.220 what are police
00:16:48.860 saying today?
00:16:52.080 Sandy,
00:16:52.820 police are taking
00:16:53.760 this very seriously.
00:16:55.280 They say that
00:16:55.880 overnight,
00:16:56.520 these 16 speed cameras
00:16:58.140 were vandalized.
00:16:58.860 They have additional
00:17:00.460 resources coming in
00:17:01.580 to help them
00:17:02.140 investigate
00:17:02.600 and look at all
00:17:03.460 of the,
00:17:04.200 analyze everything
00:17:05.800 they can to try
00:17:06.600 and track down
00:17:07.220 the suspects.
00:17:08.220 And this also happened
00:17:09.500 just a couple of days
00:17:10.820 after another speed camera
00:17:12.580 on the other side
00:17:13.420 of the city
00:17:13.980 was vandalized.
00:17:15.100 That was the seventh time
00:17:16.120 it was vandalized.
00:17:18.500 So they are taking
00:17:20.440 a service-wide approach.
00:17:24.000 This is a,
00:17:28.860 so people in Toronto
00:17:34.660 apparently are really
00:17:35.920 fed up with petty
00:17:37.140 dictators like
00:17:38.100 Olivia Chow.
00:17:39.460 I would never have
00:17:40.760 imagined this,
00:17:41.580 16 of these things
00:17:42.800 brought down
00:17:43.300 because people are
00:17:44.900 just reaching
00:17:45.840 the apex
00:17:47.140 of frustration
00:17:49.140 with government
00:17:52.080 authoritarianism.
00:17:53.200 and this is a
00:17:54.240 perfect example
00:17:55.000 of it.
00:17:56.400 You know,
00:17:56.740 I hate these things
00:17:58.200 but I,
00:17:58.660 what I,
00:17:59.100 what I go
00:18:00.080 and tear one down
00:18:00.980 with,
00:18:01.160 no,
00:18:01.300 it's against,
00:18:01.720 I don't break the law
00:18:02.480 but I understand
00:18:04.080 why people are doing this.
00:18:06.120 But what I,
00:18:06.920 what I find amazing
00:18:08.020 is that they're doing
00:18:09.520 this in Toronto
00:18:10.580 and in one of the
00:18:13.640 most liberal cities
00:18:14.620 in Canada.
00:18:16.200 This,
00:18:16.540 this,
00:18:16.880 this to me
00:18:17.520 is absolutely
00:18:18.560 astonishing.
00:18:23.200 So we're just
00:18:24.020 waiting on Jeff Rath.
00:18:25.260 He was,
00:18:25.800 he was a little
00:18:26.660 confused over
00:18:28.280 Mountain Time
00:18:28.900 versus Eastern Time.
00:18:29.860 I think he thought
00:18:30.380 I meant 10,
00:18:31.720 15 Mountain Time
00:18:33.160 but he's,
00:18:34.480 he's going to be
00:18:35.000 joining us shortly
00:18:35.960 and until then
00:18:38.700 I want to,
00:18:39.720 I've got something
00:18:40.220 else to share with you
00:18:40.880 because this is
00:18:41.680 another sign of the times.
00:18:43.520 This is Barrie,
00:18:44.760 Ontario,
00:18:46.000 town,
00:18:46.540 I,
00:18:46.780 city I know
00:18:47.260 very well.
00:18:48.300 I used to live
00:18:49.240 not far from there
00:18:50.180 in the Midland
00:18:51.100 Penitentiary
00:18:51.700 Area
00:18:52.220 and
00:18:54.360 it's very funny
00:18:56.640 because Barrie
00:18:57.400 was the only
00:18:58.420 Ontario
00:18:59.340 riding
00:19:02.080 to vote
00:19:03.540 reform.
00:19:04.300 Yes,
00:19:04.560 there were two
00:19:05.040 Canadian Alliance
00:19:06.060 seats but there
00:19:06.740 was only one
00:19:07.700 reform MP
00:19:09.340 in Ontario
00:19:10.200 and he
00:19:11.060 was from
00:19:11.960 Barrie.
00:19:13.240 So there
00:19:14.140 you go.
00:19:14.880 That's a,
00:19:15.260 that's a little
00:19:15.820 tidbit for you.
00:19:17.700 But there's a
00:19:18.760 state of emergency
00:19:19.660 has been declared
00:19:20.600 in Barrie
00:19:21.260 and let's
00:19:21.940 find out why.
00:19:23.600 Proceeding
00:19:24.400 everyday bylaws.
00:19:26.560 The cities
00:19:27.060 have enacted
00:19:27.740 to create
00:19:28.540 and maintain
00:19:29.200 order.
00:19:30.480 The Barrie
00:19:30.840 Police Department
00:19:31.560 operates as an
00:19:32.400 arm's length
00:19:32.920 police service
00:19:33.920 overseeing law
00:19:35.040 enforcement
00:19:35.480 or the lack
00:19:36.840 thereof being
00:19:37.540 told by the
00:19:38.220 justice system
00:19:38.880 that it's a
00:19:39.240 waste of time
00:19:39.940 to enforce
00:19:40.860 drug possession
00:19:41.660 or drug use
00:19:42.300 laws.
00:19:43.120 This because
00:19:43.960 often those
00:19:44.560 same judges
00:19:45.400 just mentioned
00:19:46.680 throw the
00:19:47.720 cases out
00:19:48.400 and warn
00:19:49.120 the prosecutors
00:19:49.840 to steer
00:19:50.540 away from
00:19:51.280 such charges.
00:19:52.820 While I
00:19:53.140 support the
00:19:53.840 county's plan
00:19:54.600 to deliver
00:19:55.120 new space
00:19:55.780 and the
00:19:56.120 Hart Hub
00:19:56.500 we have
00:19:57.420 all simply
00:19:58.360 run out
00:19:59.680 of time.
00:20:01.000 The city
00:20:01.340 of Barrie does
00:20:02.020 not have
00:20:02.660 control over
00:20:03.960 this emergency
00:20:04.820 until now.
00:20:06.920 Today I'm
00:20:07.380 announcing that
00:20:07.920 I've declared
00:20:08.500 a state of
00:20:09.020 emergency
00:20:09.420 in the city
00:20:09.920 of Barrie
00:20:10.320 as I requested
00:20:11.440 the former
00:20:11.880 administration
00:20:12.440 to do.
00:20:13.520 While we wait
00:20:14.280 for the county's
00:20:14.980 long-term plan
00:20:15.680 to be implemented
00:20:16.360 the city of
00:20:16.920 Barrie is
00:20:17.680 immediately
00:20:18.120 instituting
00:20:18.740 the state
00:20:19.100 of emergency
00:20:19.720 to reclaim
00:20:20.640 our streets
00:20:21.240 our boulevards
00:20:21.980 our parks
00:20:22.560 our squares
00:20:23.240 our feeling
00:20:23.880 of safety
00:20:24.520 and our order.
00:20:26.560 While this
00:20:27.040 order will not
00:20:27.600 appoint federal
00:20:28.320 judges that
00:20:28.940 protect the
00:20:29.400 rights of
00:20:29.740 citizenry
00:20:30.280 to live in
00:20:31.020 a free
00:20:31.400 and lawful
00:20:31.880 society
00:20:32.400 it will
00:20:33.300 address the
00:20:33.800 problem
00:20:34.140 from the
00:20:34.480 ground up.
00:20:35.960 Barrie City
00:20:36.420 Council
00:20:36.860 has already
00:20:37.780 done so
00:20:38.820 much.
00:20:39.920 In 2023
00:20:40.800 we provide
00:20:41.920 an additional
00:20:42.440 1.65
00:20:43.280 million
00:20:43.800 increasing
00:20:44.600 our funding
00:20:45.340 to local
00:20:46.080 social service
00:20:46.820 agencies.
00:20:48.160 Also in
00:20:48.720 2023
00:20:49.520 we ended
00:20:50.720 the prisoner
00:20:51.500 drop-off
00:20:52.100 program in
00:20:52.720 downtown
00:20:53.060 Barrie
00:20:53.480 that left
00:20:54.140 individuals
00:20:54.740 in our
00:20:55.080 downtown
00:20:55.420 from around
00:20:56.420 the province
00:20:56.900 of Ontario
00:20:57.400 when they
00:20:58.100 left
00:20:58.460 incarceration
00:20:59.420 at
00:21:00.220 Penetang.
00:21:01.620 In 2025
00:21:02.560 with the help
00:21:03.740 of our police
00:21:04.300 resources
00:21:04.740 and I see
00:21:05.120 our deputy
00:21:05.820 chief here
00:21:06.300 today
00:21:06.560 deputy
00:21:06.900 we funded
00:21:08.280 an additional
00:21:08.760 17 offers
00:21:09.620 to officers
00:21:10.520 to enforce
00:21:11.100 the law
00:21:11.480 right here
00:21:12.520 in our
00:21:13.120 downtown
00:21:13.440 center.
00:21:14.680 Also
00:21:14.960 just a couple
00:21:15.660 of weeks
00:21:16.000 ago
00:21:16.280 we created
00:21:17.140 an additional
00:21:17.580 55 affordable
00:21:18.620 and supportive
00:21:19.140 housing units
00:21:19.860 with many
00:21:20.620 more to be
00:21:21.200 approved
00:21:21.600 in the coming
00:21:22.400 months.
00:21:25.060 So Barrie
00:21:26.100 has had it
00:21:26.780 with the
00:21:27.100 anarchy in
00:21:27.680 the streets
00:21:28.160 with homelessness
00:21:29.200 with chaos
00:21:30.520 they've had it
00:21:31.360 and as I
00:21:32.920 said this was
00:21:33.460 the only
00:21:33.920 riding in
00:21:35.080 Ontario to
00:21:35.680 actually elect
00:21:36.380 reform MP
00:21:37.160 back in
00:21:38.400 1993
00:21:39.700 I believe
00:21:41.080 yes
00:21:41.440 93
00:21:41.880 and Jeff
00:21:43.240 Rath
00:21:43.660 has appeared
00:21:44.340 Jeff thank
00:21:45.040 you for
00:21:45.400 for joining
00:21:46.080 us
00:21:46.460 and we're
00:21:49.060 we're all
00:21:50.520 we're all set
00:21:51.300 here
00:21:51.520 yeah
00:21:52.700 so I wanted
00:21:54.040 to hear one
00:21:54.940 of your
00:21:55.160 your post
00:21:55.880 here
00:21:56.160 which I find
00:21:57.860 I think
00:21:58.420 really encapsulates
00:21:59.560 the situation
00:22:00.280 and I wanted
00:22:00.920 to mention
00:22:01.420 as you said
00:22:02.560 to me this
00:22:03.000 morning
00:22:03.300 70%
00:22:04.180 of United
00:22:05.000 Conservative
00:22:05.580 Party
00:22:06.060 supporters
00:22:07.020 are supporting
00:22:08.060 Alberta
00:22:09.120 independence
00:22:09.680 that's not
00:22:10.240 that I can't
00:22:11.700 see how that's
00:22:12.140 going to make
00:22:12.540 Daniel Smith
00:22:13.200 feel very
00:22:13.620 comfortable
00:22:14.060 because of
00:22:15.240 course that's
00:22:15.680 her ability
00:22:16.360 and she's
00:22:17.860 still right
00:22:18.600 you know
00:22:18.880 she's still
00:22:19.360 governing as
00:22:20.200 a federalist
00:22:20.780 so I think
00:22:21.200 that's going
00:22:21.600 to be
00:22:22.260 increasingly
00:22:22.860 problematic
00:22:24.140 but what
00:22:25.760 you say
00:22:26.160 here I
00:22:26.560 think is
00:22:27.720 the essence
00:22:28.300 of why
00:22:28.920 Albertans
00:22:29.520 and a lot
00:22:30.520 of other
00:22:30.820 people across
00:22:31.320 Canada as
00:22:31.780 well are
00:22:32.080 just fed up
00:22:32.760 with this
00:22:33.840 dysfunctional
00:22:34.560 country
00:22:34.900 and you
00:22:35.180 say the
00:22:35.460 concept of
00:22:36.040 Canada and
00:22:36.580 Canadian
00:22:36.960 nationhood
00:22:37.440 was based
00:22:37.900 on a very
00:22:38.280 fragile
00:22:38.820 fictional story
00:22:40.120 but needing
00:22:40.500 to work
00:22:40.900 together for
00:22:41.400 the common
00:22:41.740 good
00:22:42.000 yeah
00:22:42.920 and we
00:22:43.700 were all
00:22:44.480 taught that
00:22:45.040 from a very
00:22:45.460 young age
00:22:46.020 that this
00:22:46.360 was a
00:22:47.060 confederation
00:22:48.320 and we
00:22:48.660 all were
00:22:49.120 in it
00:22:49.360 together
00:22:49.780 except if
00:22:51.280 you were
00:22:51.480 living in
00:22:51.860 the west
00:22:52.300 that's
00:22:53.460 we knew
00:22:53.860 this concept
00:22:55.940 was completely
00:22:56.580 shattered
00:22:57.000 by Trudeau
00:22:57.540 and Kearney
00:22:57.980 stealing 50%
00:22:59.220 of Canadian
00:22:59.740 wealth and
00:23:00.220 equity by
00:23:00.760 doubling the
00:23:01.380 money supply
00:23:01.960 ending bodily
00:23:03.200 integrity through
00:23:03.960 COVID mandates
00:23:04.800 seizing bank
00:23:05.860 accounts and
00:23:06.360 protest supporters
00:23:07.120 implementing massive
00:23:08.520 taxation of every
00:23:09.660 aspect of life
00:23:10.480 engaging in
00:23:11.580 massive propaganda
00:23:12.520 campaigns through
00:23:13.860 bought and paid
00:23:14.640 for legacy media
00:23:15.780 utilizing military
00:23:17.500 psychological warfare
00:23:18.580 against citizens
00:23:19.560 outlying legal
00:23:20.560 firearms declaring
00:23:21.760 martial law against
00:23:22.740 peaceful protesters
00:23:23.920 mandating marginally
00:23:25.440 functional electric
00:23:26.420 vehicles
00:23:27.040 well and that could
00:23:28.840 go on I
00:23:29.380 encourage people to
00:23:30.580 have a look at
00:23:31.240 your your ex
00:23:32.200 posts here
00:23:32.940 because you
00:23:34.880 put it all
00:23:35.520 here in a in
00:23:36.500 one massive
00:23:37.320 paragraph in
00:23:38.240 terms of why
00:23:39.020 this country has
00:23:40.900 become dysfunctional
00:23:42.320 and do you
00:23:43.420 think Mark
00:23:43.920 Carney is just
00:23:44.780 continuing to
00:23:46.900 add fuel to
00:23:49.060 the fire as
00:23:50.620 as he continues
00:23:51.820 to alienate not
00:23:53.500 just Albertans but
00:23:54.500 large swaths of
00:23:55.400 other Canadians
00:23:56.280 we actually think
00:23:57.700 that Mark
00:23:58.180 Carney is a
00:23:58.880 separatist I
00:23:59.840 mean he's the
00:24:01.120 you know he's
00:24:01.900 the he's the
00:24:02.640 biggest proponent
00:24:03.600 of separatism in
00:24:05.600 Canada I mean
00:24:06.820 every time we
00:24:07.540 turn around and
00:24:08.280 we're grateful to
00:24:09.100 him you know he
00:24:10.080 gives Albertans
00:24:11.240 another you know
00:24:12.360 massive new
00:24:13.380 reasons for
00:24:14.240 leaving Canada I
00:24:15.800 mean like in
00:24:16.580 whether he's doing
00:24:17.580 this intentionally or
00:24:18.780 just blundering from
00:24:20.600 idiotic idea to
00:24:22.040 idiotic announcement
00:24:23.700 you know I'm not
00:24:25.220 sure but everything
00:24:26.800 that he's doing
00:24:28.000 spells the end of
00:24:29.220 Canada I mean
00:24:30.660 you know there's
00:24:31.620 nothing that he's
00:24:32.460 doing that fosters
00:24:34.320 Canadian unity or
00:24:36.840 that makes anybody
00:24:37.820 in Alberta want to
00:24:38.860 stay I mean that's
00:24:40.180 the I mean that's
00:24:41.100 the amazing thing
00:24:41.880 about Carney I
00:24:42.620 mean every time we
00:24:43.660 turn around you
00:24:45.680 know there's some
00:24:46.400 new idiotic idea
00:24:47.700 coming out of
00:24:48.400 Ottawa that just
00:24:49.580 makes people's
00:24:50.300 lives worse and I
00:24:51.200 guess you know and
00:24:51.680 the other thing is
00:24:52.440 and I mean this is
00:24:53.020 one of the big
00:24:53.520 issues for you know
00:24:54.440 Albertans right now
00:24:55.420 is that we're at
00:24:57.560 eight and a half
00:24:58.200 percent unemployment
00:24:59.100 our and of course
00:25:00.940 the legacy media
00:25:01.920 they're bought and
00:25:02.540 paid for have you
00:25:03.240 seen anything in
00:25:04.540 you know CBC or
00:25:06.640 CTV or global
00:25:07.960 about the massive
00:25:09.300 depression that
00:25:10.960 economic depression
00:25:12.220 that Canada is
00:25:13.140 currently in that's
00:25:14.360 what eight and a
00:25:14.820 half unemployment in
00:25:15.740 Alberta spells right
00:25:17.460 we're in an economic
00:25:18.740 depression right now
00:25:20.640 in Alberta and
00:25:21.820 what's his response
00:25:23.040 his response is to
00:25:24.640 continue to send
00:25:26.320 every year you
00:25:28.240 know literally you
00:25:29.320 know two or three
00:25:30.200 like full of people
00:25:32.880 to this province that
00:25:34.320 we don't have the
00:25:35.100 jobs for we don't
00:25:36.220 have accommodation
00:25:36.880 for we don't have
00:25:38.780 water for we don't
00:25:41.180 have electricity for
00:25:42.280 we don't have
00:25:42.860 hospital beds for we
00:25:44.420 don't have classroom
00:25:45.340 seats for I mean our
00:25:47.320 province is in a
00:25:48.320 crisis and he's
00:25:49.800 continuing to take
00:25:50.880 snow shovel full of
00:25:52.180 snow shovel full of
00:25:53.900 third worlders and
00:25:55.540 dumping them on our
00:25:56.460 province like it's
00:25:58.060 just absolutely
00:25:58.900 ludicrous what's going
00:26:00.200 on and people in
00:26:01.080 Alberta are literally
00:26:02.560 at a tipping point
00:26:03.500 right now we're in a
00:26:04.740 crisis and Carney's
00:26:06.360 answer is to continue
00:26:07.620 to double down on
00:26:09.200 his you know
00:26:09.880 international mobility
00:26:11.320 program immigration
00:26:12.900 program that hasn't
00:26:14.820 abated since the
00:26:16.340 beginning of the year
00:26:17.280 when Carney himself
00:26:18.360 acknowledged that we
00:26:19.280 have an immigration
00:26:20.020 crisis like eight and
00:26:22.040 half percent
00:26:22.880 unemployment and he's
00:26:24.360 still literally shipping
00:26:25.640 the third world to
00:26:26.660 Alberta by the
00:26:27.580 plane load I mean
00:26:29.060 there's a new plane
00:26:29.840 arriving every hour
00:26:31.480 filled with these
00:26:32.640 people that we can't
00:26:33.640 accommodate you know
00:26:35.080 and it's destroying the
00:26:36.040 quality of life in this
00:26:37.140 province it's destroying
00:26:38.220 life you know as we
00:26:39.780 know it for Albertans
00:26:41.040 and Carney and all of
00:26:42.660 his World Economic
00:26:43.500 Forum buddies don't
00:26:45.420 seem to care because
00:26:46.460 they see every one of
00:26:47.780 these new people that
00:26:48.780 arrives in Canada is
00:26:50.640 you know basically as
00:26:51.800 another new input for
00:26:53.840 Brookfield and all of
00:26:55.080 their cronies that
00:26:56.260 will then be plugging
00:26:57.340 into the electrical
00:26:58.800 grid that they haven't
00:27:00.380 built yet that's
00:27:01.800 literally going to
00:27:02.520 siphon money from you
00:27:04.100 know Albertans pockets
00:27:05.360 out of the you know
00:27:06.040 out of their back
00:27:06.720 pocket you know into a
00:27:08.440 wall socket into an
00:27:10.080 electrical grid that's
00:27:11.180 going to be owned by
00:27:11.980 Brookfield with all
00:27:12.940 their small modular
00:27:13.780 nuclear reactors and all
00:27:15.400 the rest of it to
00:27:16.440 siphon all of this money
00:27:17.580 offshore to Carney's you
00:27:19.200 know personal offshore
00:27:20.400 bank account like
00:27:21.840 people people in
00:27:22.940 Alberta are just you
00:27:24.500 know shocked that this
00:27:26.260 is continuing to go on
00:27:27.540 we're you know we're in
00:27:28.280 an economic crisis and
00:27:29.960 Carney is running
00:27:30.740 around telling
00:27:31.320 everything everybody
00:27:32.040 that everything's fine
00:27:33.160 and all we have to do
00:27:34.540 is continue to stick our
00:27:35.740 thumb in the eye of our
00:27:36.840 American neighbors to
00:27:37.840 the south and join the
00:27:39.360 European Union and
00:27:40.460 everything's going to be
00:27:41.320 fine like you know and
00:27:43.600 housing starts for
00:27:45.360 instance I think are the
00:27:46.660 worst in what 90 years
00:27:48.300 which puts us back in
00:27:49.340 the Great Depression
00:27:50.040 so I've been seeing a
00:27:55.040 lot of you know charts
00:27:57.200 and graphs and whatever
00:27:58.260 it is I mean we're in
00:27:59.660 the midst of the biggest
00:28:01.240 population boom in
00:28:02.620 Alberta's history yet our
00:28:04.720 housing starts are about
00:28:06.020 the same level that they
00:28:07.040 were in the 1970s so you
00:28:09.840 know what's going on is
00:28:10.900 not sustainable it's like
00:28:12.940 I said destroying the
00:28:13.860 quality of life of people
00:28:15.060 in this province and if
00:28:16.040 people think you know
00:28:17.160 people think that
00:28:18.480 Albertans aren't going to
00:28:19.480 vote to separate from
00:28:20.980 Canada when our
00:28:22.560 unemployment rate this
00:28:24.280 time next year is going
00:28:25.820 to be nine and a half
00:28:26.780 or ten and a half percent
00:28:28.140 you know they're crazy
00:28:29.420 like Carney's literally
00:28:30.460 destroying the foundation
00:28:31.660 of this country yeah I
00:28:33.880 would have to agree now
00:28:36.000 I wanted to ask you about
00:28:36.880 this article because this
00:28:38.160 is from July 22nd a very
00:28:39.960 obscure news source and the
00:28:42.440 only reason I bring it up
00:28:43.600 is because somebody picked
00:28:44.780 this up last night on
00:28:45.720 YouTube and trumpeted the
00:28:47.800 claim out there that the
00:28:49.520 Trump administration was
00:28:50.820 offering a 500 million
00:28:53.260 dollar transition fund not
00:28:57.380 not for the Alberta
00:28:58.420 Prosperity Project but for
00:28:59.860 Alberta to transition from
00:29:02.040 independence to being the
00:29:03.920 51st state now this is all
00:29:06.660 attributed to Dennis Modry
00:29:08.340 and of course I it calls him
00:29:11.400 the former CEO of the
00:29:12.540 Alberta Prosperity Project
00:29:13.880 in this article I wasn't
00:29:15.060 aware that he had he had
00:29:16.520 stepped down from that but
00:29:18.180 two and two important
00:29:19.720 things that he says here is
00:29:21.100 that when we walked into the
00:29:22.120 conference room in
00:29:22.840 Washington the first
00:29:24.120 comment was we recognize
00:29:26.060 and support Alberta
00:29:27.020 becoming the sovereign nation
00:29:29.740 for the first time and I'm
00:29:31.560 sure that's something you
00:29:32.300 could probably confirm but
00:29:35.660 here's the contentious part and
00:29:37.400 we were talking earlier and I
00:29:39.880 think you basically explained
00:29:41.260 to me that there's not a lot
00:29:43.260 of substance to this because
00:29:44.920 Modry says we talked about a
00:29:46.380 500 million dollar transition
00:29:48.860 alone that we would only draw
00:29:51.060 down on it on as necessary as
00:29:54.100 we work with the U.S. to
00:29:55.760 transition from a province to
00:29:57.440 a country said Modry he also
00:30:00.040 claimed that they discussed the
00:30:01.540 plan to prop up Alberta's
00:30:03.820 currency where quote the U.S.
00:30:05.780 agrees to take every Alberta
00:30:07.340 citizen's Canadian dollar and
00:30:09.480 then exchange it for one U.S.
00:30:11.420 dollar so it's sort of a
00:30:14.100 bizarre thing because I
00:30:15.340 thought these meetings were
00:30:16.340 you know being held in some
00:30:18.000 sort of you know relative
00:30:19.400 confidentiality so you know is
00:30:23.420 is Modry correct here or how
00:30:25.800 did you assess this he got way
00:30:27.960 out in front of his skis on
00:30:29.320 that one but you know to be
00:30:31.800 clear I mean you know the you
00:30:33.960 know one of the things that
00:30:34.940 we're interested in doing you
00:30:36.180 know keep in mind that we're
00:30:37.220 you know APP is an
00:30:38.320 educational organization you
00:30:40.220 know looking to educate
00:30:41.120 people on the benefits of
00:30:42.380 independence so one of the
00:30:44.620 discussions that we were
00:30:45.740 having with the United States
00:30:47.220 and it wasn't 500 million
00:30:48.940 dollar loan what we were
00:30:51.060 talking about was potentially
00:30:52.880 the availability of credit
00:30:54.580 swaps which effectively would
00:30:56.160 amount to a line of credit
00:30:57.580 to support Alberta through you
00:31:00.840 know negotiations with Canada so
00:31:02.840 that we're not negotiating from a
00:31:04.320 position of weakness obviously
00:31:06.000 people on our team include you
00:31:08.020 know bankers economists
00:31:09.380 actuaries accountants a lot of
00:31:11.180 very high-powered people and
00:31:13.140 that was one of the things that
00:31:14.500 they were interested in knowing
00:31:16.540 as to whether or not you know we
00:31:19.660 could negotiate either directly
00:31:21.040 with the U.S. Treasury or you
00:31:23.000 know other U.S. financial
00:31:24.200 institutions you know on you know
00:31:26.200 the government of Alberta could
00:31:27.520 negotiate credit swaps to
00:31:29.680 support the you know to support
00:31:31.640 the ongoing fiscal health of
00:31:33.420 Alberta through negotiations
00:31:35.680 nothing you know there are no
00:31:37.600 promises made there's no you
00:31:40.860 know no over okay if you guys
00:31:42.720 are going to separate and become
00:31:43.820 the 51st state we're going to
00:31:45.320 give you 500 million or 500
00:31:47.520 billion dollars in credit swaps I
00:31:49.580 mean you know that wasn't on the
00:31:51.000 table our meeting in Washington
00:31:52.380 was you know was preliminary there
00:31:54.660 are more meetings scheduled that we
00:31:56.740 are going to be having on a going
00:31:58.240 forward basis you know but again it
00:32:01.780 shouldn't be surprising anybody
00:32:03.220 that the professionals that we're
00:32:04.980 involved with you know including
00:32:07.700 you know bankers are interested in
00:32:10.040 having answers to these questions
00:32:11.600 that we can share with our fellow
00:32:13.120 Albertans and of course what I can
00:32:15.240 tell you is that the support for
00:32:17.620 Alberta independence in the United
00:32:19.380 States is extremely high obviously
00:32:23.080 from a national security
00:32:25.260 perspective the United States sees an
00:32:28.500 independent Alberta as you know the
00:32:31.740 controls Alberta energy and has is a
00:32:35.360 favorable you know as favorable to the
00:32:38.040 United States and continuing a healthy
00:32:40.920 trading relationship with the United
00:32:43.780 States as being far preferable to an
00:32:47.260 Alberta that's being controlled by all
00:32:50.860 the people in Ottawa that are literally
00:32:52.580 you know from our perspective being
00:32:53.860 controlled by communist China you know
00:32:56.040 so does the United States government
00:32:57.440 want a government in Alberta you know
00:32:59.300 that's free independent free market
00:33:01.300 oriented that's very interested in
00:33:03.860 entering into a common market type of
00:33:05.940 arrangement with the United States
00:33:07.480 where we have the shortest free trade
00:33:09.480 agreement in human history that
00:33:10.980 literally says there will be zero
00:33:12.920 tariffs on both sides of the US
00:33:15.440 Alberta border on all goods and
00:33:17.960 services crossing the Alberta border of
00:33:20.440 course the US is interested in that of
00:33:22.280 course any citizen of Alberta interested in
00:33:25.320 the prosperity of themselves their
00:33:27.080 children their families etc you know
00:33:29.420 would be interested in that you know
00:33:31.900 did we have discussions in and around
00:33:33.840 economics and you know what economics
00:33:37.200 could look like of course we did we'd be
00:33:38.780 foolish not to but you know they are
00:33:41.220 simply discussions I can you know and
00:33:43.660 what I can you know what I what I can
00:33:45.400 advise is that in preserving the
00:33:50.260 confidentiality of these discussions that
00:33:52.300 that discussions are ongoing and that
00:33:56.380 the United States administration in the
00:33:58.460 same way that they're very favorable to
00:34:00.320 the self-determination of Greenland as
00:34:03.600 was announced by President Trump during
00:34:06.340 his inaugural address to the joint
00:34:10.020 session of the US Congress where he
00:34:13.060 announced that he was in favor of
00:34:15.020 self-determination for Greenland the
00:34:17.100 sense that we have is that the present
00:34:19.660 administration in the United States of
00:34:21.880 America is extremely supportive of
00:34:24.800 self-determination for Alberta and what
00:34:28.840 we take from that is that the minute
00:34:30.500 Alberta votes itself independent from
00:34:32.520 Canada that recognition from the United
00:34:35.420 States would be forthcoming so you know
00:34:38.020 nobody should be surprised by this it's
00:34:39.740 not you know this isn't new news you know
00:34:42.040 to be clear I'm not sure where you know
00:34:44.220 this professor Turley is it you know as
00:34:46.100 he calls himself on YouTube you know
00:34:49.080 why he thought taking that out of
00:34:50.720 context and making such a big deal out
00:34:53.560 of it was you know it was you know was
00:34:55.540 such a scoop but yeah I mean that's
00:34:57.080 YouTube everybody wants clicks and
00:34:58.600 everybody you know wants whatever I mean
00:35:00.560 I think a lot of this started in July
00:35:02.680 with you know we call them little Tommy
00:35:04.460 nothing burger now I think I told you
00:35:06.140 why the guy running that other phony
00:35:07.520 petition or that fake petition in
00:35:09.160 Alberta that the court referred to as a
00:35:11.440 legally irrelevant nothing burger Lukasik
00:35:13.980 was accusing APP of being funded and
00:35:17.560 paid for by the Trump administration and
00:35:21.260 by the U.S. government which of course
00:35:22.880 is you know it's completely false but I
00:35:25.640 mean that's what you expect from you
00:35:27.060 know Thomas Lukasik who runs around the
00:35:29.020 province lying to people about the legal
00:35:31.300 impact of this stupid petition that he's
00:35:33.260 running and whose entire mission in
00:35:36.140 life I don't even call him forever
00:35:37.380 Canada anymore I call them forever
00:35:39.240 communism you know is running around
00:35:41.700 the province of Alberta gulling gullible
00:35:44.480 seniors and others into providing him
00:35:49.640 their names and addresses and
00:35:51.280 information that can be used for Tommy
00:35:53.680 nothing burger to start his own
00:35:55.100 political party you know in terms of you
00:35:57.860 know by signing this petition you know
00:36:01.100 can try to convince them that he's doing
00:36:02.700 something that has any legal meaning
00:36:04.240 yeah well I think it's it's clear
00:36:07.640 though the United States is prepared to
00:36:09.340 recognize an independent Alberta and
00:36:11.880 would entertain Alberta then deciding if
00:36:15.340 the people so chose to become the 51st
00:36:18.140 state because the American Revolution might
00:36:20.680 not have succeeded had they not achieved
00:36:23.220 foreign recognition from France for
00:36:25.540 instance oh and and that was vital
00:36:28.300 absolutely but I think what everybody
00:36:30.880 needs to keep in mind here is that you
00:36:34.100 know the vast majority of people involved in
00:36:36.540 the Alberta independence movement are in favor
00:36:38.600 of a free and independent Alberta right
00:36:41.080 we're not going to jump out of one bad
00:36:42.880 relationship and into another I mean we
00:36:45.440 know more you want to be governed by the
00:36:48.800 U.S. Department of Treasury and the you know
00:36:52.300 what used to be the IRS then we want to
00:36:54.860 continue to be governed by the CRA we don't
00:36:57.120 want to be governed by you know the you know
00:36:59.340 the Environmental Protection Agency of the
00:37:01.880 U.S. we want all of our environmental
00:37:04.000 policies which will be strong and protective
00:37:07.240 of the Alberta environment and our beautiful
00:37:11.000 natural landscapes which are such a big part of
00:37:13.860 the appreciation of which is such a big part of
00:37:15.940 the Alberta of Alberta culture you know we don't
00:37:19.140 want people making environmental laws for Alberta
00:37:21.820 you know 5,000 miles away we want them made here
00:37:26.020 you know under a new Alberta constitution that respects
00:37:29.220 everybody's rights you know including the treaty and
00:37:31.900 aboriginal rights of Alberta's indigenous people
00:37:34.520 like we don't want you know to get rid of one
00:37:36.940 foreign government in Ottawa and replace them with a
00:37:39.800 foreign government in Washington D.C. and the
00:37:42.160 people that we're meeting with in the United
00:37:43.800 States of America are very respectful of that
00:37:46.420 all of our briefing you know notes and briefing
00:37:48.840 papers refer to you know an independent
00:37:51.840 commonwealth of Alberta all of their briefing
00:37:54.440 notes and briefing papers refer to you know Alberta
00:37:57.660 independence and you know in an independent Alberta
00:38:01.760 you know to the chagrin of some members of our movement
00:38:05.540 we are not a 51st state movement you know we see ourselves
00:38:09.720 as an independence movement wanting to form an independent
00:38:13.280 commonwealth separate and apart from Canada and the United
00:38:16.900 States but with extremely strong financial and economic ties to the
00:38:21.360 United States because we see the U.S. as our natural ally you know
00:38:25.500 unlike Mark Carney who sees communist China as his natural ally
00:38:30.420 right yeah that's precisely it so right
00:38:34.440 Premier Daniel Smith has been doing a lot of town halls lately I think you
00:38:39.300 know under the auspices of Alberta next
00:38:42.620 last week I think it was she was at a town hall somebody asked her but why
00:38:47.760 aren't you spending more for education I've never seen the Premier quite so
00:38:52.420 angry in her response and she said why are we spending more on education
00:38:57.360 because we're giving billions of dollars to Quebec and Ontario and she just
00:39:01.720 laid it on the line and and just said equalization is not going to last forever
00:39:07.280 we can't do it this way forever and but I'm wondering if what she's saying
00:39:12.760 out there which of course is addressing the discontent the alienation in Alberta
00:39:17.860 is it satisfying Albertans or is it just giving Albertans more reason to say well
00:39:24.780 why are we in confederation then how can we get rid of equalization because
00:39:29.760 Pierre Paglia has since stated repeatedly he wants equalization to continue as in the
00:39:36.540 status quo well every federalist says that because they know that they can't get
00:39:41.180 elected nationally unless they can bribe Quebec and Ontario Quebec Ontario in the
00:39:46.280 Maritimes with Alberta's money so you know Pierre Paglia as far as I'm concerned
00:39:50.880 is not an Albertan it was an insult for him to come and run in Battle River Crowfoot
00:39:55.720 you know as a as a federalist I mean you know we don't want him here right we
00:40:01.980 don't want federalist politicians in Alberta that support equalization that
00:40:07.020 support you know the biggest trade irritant that Canada has with the United
00:40:11.040 States is supply management I mean why is it that single moms poor indigenous
00:40:16.620 families you know the working poor across this country which is now probably you
00:40:22.040 know thanks to Carney 98% of the country why is it that the working poor in in
00:40:27.520 Canada should be paying 400% more for milk you know milk dairy eggs you know etc you
00:40:35.480 know and again it's to appease Quebec there's lots of multi-millionaire
00:40:39.480 slash billionaire Quebec dairy interests that you know have been paying off
00:40:44.360 politicians in Ottawa for years and as a result we're prepared to let the entire
00:40:49.560 national economy crater and I guess Quebec's now paying the price you know take
00:40:53.960 your pick do you want supply management or do you want to be able to continue to
00:40:57.640 sell cheap aluminum because you subsidize your aluminum manufacturers with
00:41:02.180 electricity right you know pick one you can't have both right but again that's you
00:41:08.960 know that's the nature of you know that's the nature of dealing with Quebec and
00:41:12.560 Canadian federalism you know there it's constant appeasement of Quebec so the
00:41:19.040 liberals can continue to control the government so you didn't see Pierre
00:41:25.060 Pauliev's by-election victory as some kind of referendum on federalism in the
00:41:30.740 problem no I mean prior to that by-election the so-called by-election victory I mean who
00:41:35.040 else are those who else are those people gonna vote for they're not gonna and I
00:41:38.620 don't mean to be rude but they're not gonna vote for some independent you know
00:41:42.120 independent LGBTQ candidate you know former master corporal you know running as an
00:41:50.480 independent in a bad cowboy hat in you know Ballard River Crowfoot I mean who else
00:41:54.900 are they gonna vote for you know they're not gonna vote for a liberal you know so you know
00:41:59.220 everybody needs to remember there's a legé poll that was done shortly before the
00:42:02.620 election that literally showed that 70% of all conservative voters in Alberta like
00:42:08.600 that voted conservative in the last federal election favor independence right so you
00:42:13.720 can't tell me that that changed overnight and all those people that voted for
00:42:17.020 Pauliev you know have eschewed you know independence and want to be good
00:42:25.020 federalists again right I mean you know that is who else are they gonna vote for I
00:42:29.220 mean you know a buddy of mine who's a very religious individual described who lives
00:42:34.260 very close to Battle River Crowfoot said you know if you want to talk about
00:42:38.460 Central Alberta being the Bible Belt of Alberta you need to understand that Battle
00:42:43.300 River Crowfoot is the buckle of the Bible Belt in Alberta right yeah so you know those
00:42:49.000 people have a strong sense of civic duty I mean it's really ingrained in them that they
00:42:53.420 have to get out and vote they do get out and vote and the question there was who the hell
00:42:59.160 else were they gonna vote for you know one of the 200 yahoos that was put on the ballot
00:43:03.560 were they gonna vote for Bonnie Critchley no you know they didn't have anybody else to
00:43:08.240 vote for and I think a lot of people in Alberta go well at least if we vote for Pauliev you know
00:43:13.740 maybe you know maybe somebody will get our guns back you know but again you know for me none
00:43:20.740 of the answers come from Ottawa all of the answers come from Alberta um declaring itself um uh you
00:43:27.620 know independent from um uh from Canada and just taking control of our own destiny and making our
00:43:34.240 own laws here because obviously the laws being made for us in Ottawa you know aren't working
00:43:38.940 so I guess final question when when do you see Albertans getting that opportunity to vote in a
00:43:45.660 referendum on on the future well obviously I mean we're dealing with you know we're dealing
00:43:49.880 we're dealing with a court process now that's not going to be over until December the judges declared
00:43:56.220 and said that we're going to have a hearing in uh at the end of November and he'll have his decision
00:44:00.920 out before um January or before before Christmas I can't for the life of me see any court would declare
00:44:09.080 that a a question seeking to amend the constitution of Canada could be unconstitutional I mean on its
00:44:16.560 face the entire this entire court process is silly but I mean we're having to you know we're going
00:44:21.840 through it in the meantime I mean we're continuing to uh uh garner support we're talking in town halls
00:44:27.880 you know um every night across the province hundreds and hundreds of people are showing up in small
00:44:33.700 towns I was I was in one in Cremona the other night you know teeny little speck on the map in Alberta
00:44:38.980 off of Highway 22 over 150 people showed up all of them completely in favor of independence I'm
00:44:46.040 going to be in foremost on Friday which is way down by the U.S. border everywhere we go we're speaking
00:44:51.260 to pack calls full of Albertans in favor of independence the other thing people need to
00:44:55.960 understand is all of these what's next calls that Danielle is holding um you know more than 50 or 60
00:45:02.620 percent of everybody showing up at those meetings are in favor of independence I mean we have very you
00:45:07.740 know we have some loud you know loud mouth NDP people or loud mouth you know you can't take my
00:45:13.380 pension away people who don't understand that nobody's going to lose their pension if Alberta
00:45:17.560 has its own pension plan whatever but you know by and large those halls are filled with people in
00:45:23.220 front of in favor of independence one of the most common questions that Danielle gets is why are you
00:45:27.600 wasting our time asking us if we want a pension a police force and all this other stuff that's what we
00:45:32.220 elected you to do why aren't we talking about independence that's what we need and that's
00:45:37.020 what we want why are you wasting our time with all this other stuff right so that's the most common
00:45:43.180 question that Danielle is at these meetings right and that's the sense of it too is people are coming
00:45:48.100 out to tell her Danielle we need independence stop wasting our time on all this other nonsense the
00:45:53.800 Canadian constitution is unamendable and the only way to fix the way things are in Alberta is to get
00:45:59.760 the hell out of Canada well Mark Carney is in Alberta today I don't think he really appreciates
00:46:06.340 the depth of animosity and alienation in the province he's I think delusional to some degree
00:46:13.920 but there he is again and I don't think he has much to offer the province oh I mean give it you know
00:46:22.680 like and I think we're there now because somebody asked this question at a you know at a town the
00:46:26.860 Cremona town hall on Monday you know who who they think was the worst is a worst prime minister Mark
00:46:32.000 Carney or Justin Trudeau and overwhelmingly everybody in the room raised their hands to say to say that
00:46:37.580 they thought that Mark Carney is a far worse prime minister than Justin Trudeau so he's well on his way
00:46:43.340 to becoming the most hated and reviled politician you know in the history of Alberta I mean people see
00:46:49.660 him for who he is Albertans are well educated you know people they see what Mark Carney is doing to
00:46:56.980 this province you know every every time they go to the airport and we see another plane load of
00:47:02.000 eight or nine hundred people being flown in directly from the third world you know to Calgary to take
00:47:08.760 jobs away from kids in Alberta you know people just shake their heads and go this isn't my country
00:47:14.260 anymore what the hell is going on indeed what the hell is going on that's a good question right
