Stand on Guard with David Krayden - TRUMP BACKS Alberta Independence： Interview w Jeff Rath in DC Meeting ｜ Stand on Guard

00:00:00.000 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.

00:00:03.680 We need a political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.

00:00:08.640 Hey, thanks for watching our live stream.

00:00:11.640 I'm the host, David Craig.

00:00:13.220 In the meantime, have a look at some of these clips

00:00:15.320 and take the opportunity, please, to like this broadcast,

00:00:19.420 ring the bell, or subscribe.

00:00:22.620 And we're stepping up in every way we can

00:00:25.500 because we know that Russia must win this war.

00:00:28.640 It's a story that Ukraine must win this war.

00:00:31.780 But freedom is something you earn every day.

00:00:35.400 I don't know that the government currently has fiscal anchors.

00:00:39.940 Your home is your castle.

00:00:43.540 We're calling on the government to introduce and immediately pass

00:00:46.420 the Stand on Guard Law.

00:00:50.640 But we also need to resolve to resist.

00:00:58.640 So we're coming at you live from Ottawa right now.

00:01:06.320 Earlier in the day, of course, I sat down with Jeff Rath,

00:01:11.600 who was part of the contingent.

00:01:14.140 I want to make this quite clear at the beginning of the broadcast.

00:01:17.080 He was part of the contingent from Alberta that went down to Washington, D.C.

00:01:21.820 to meet with key Trump aides at the cabinet level.

00:01:27.360 Jeff Rath was part of a triumvirate that came from Alberta to Washington.

00:01:32.880 And Donald Trump has given his approval of Alberta independence.

00:01:37.240 He will recognize an independent in Alberta.

00:01:40.320 Now, that is, of course, extremely, extremely important.

00:01:44.240 And so, but before we go to this interview, I want to make it quite clear that

00:01:54.040 we've got comments coming on here.

00:01:57.840 I can't get rid of them.

00:01:58.660 All right.

00:01:59.200 There we go.

00:02:00.240 And I want to make it quite clear that I just got off the phone with Katie Passatne

00:02:05.780 of the Universal Ostrich Farms.

00:02:08.080 She's given me an update on what's happening out there.

00:02:10.340 So, after the Jeff Rath interview, we'll have the segment devoted to the latest.

00:02:17.040 And, of course, one of the birds died yesterday.

00:02:20.200 And it seems to be, apparently, because of gross neglect.

00:02:25.520 The CFIA is out of control, is off the rails.

00:02:28.620 This cannot continue.

00:02:32.160 And, like I said, Katie will be on the show next week at some point.

00:02:36.620 And we'll be giving you updates as required.

00:02:39.200 God only knows what's going to happen tomorrow, but we'll have our eyes peeled.

00:02:43.220 So, let's go to this interview with Jeff Rath right now.

00:02:45.900 And after that, we will talk about Universal Ostrich Farms and what Katie is saying.

00:02:52.520 Thank you so much for joining me today.

00:02:54.620 My guest, of course, Jeff Rath, legal counsel for the Alberta Prosperity Project.

00:02:59.580 And before we get started, Jeff, I just wanted to show you a clip here.

00:03:02.860 I just find this unbelievable.

00:03:04.300 This is the leader of the Black Quebec law.

00:03:07.160 The government seems to announce a deal with Enbridge and some other major companies

00:03:13.220 to put forward a pipeline proposal, an oil pipeline.

00:03:16.160 Fortunately for you, I think it's not going to go to Quebec.

00:03:18.140 It's going to go to B.C.

00:03:19.340 You've been critical of the Alberta government before.

00:03:21.420 What do you make of them going forward?

00:03:22.780 Let's imagine that Quebec is an independent and free country.

00:03:27.020 We will go on the world's stages to say that Alberta is destroying the environment of the whole planet. 0.99

00:03:34.160 The whole planet, just Alberta.

00:03:39.620 That's incredible.

00:03:40.800 I know you recently met with the PQ.

00:03:43.220 I think they were probably a little more reasonable than this guy, this blockhead, 1.00

00:03:47.000 who is just talking nonsense.

00:03:49.460 But when you hear stuff like that, material like that, what do you think?

00:03:54.480 Are these people living in the same universe as the rest of us?

00:03:56.780 Well, I think what that tells us is that any dream that Daniel Smith has of getting some

00:04:04.780 sort of pipeline deal done with Canada is complete fantasy.

00:04:10.960 So Carney said repeatedly that for him to approve a pipeline is going to require a national consensus.

00:04:17.480 And read that from Carney's perspective.

00:04:20.980 You know, for me to approve a pipeline, it's going to require me staying in power.

00:04:25.980 And it seems to me that Mr. Blanchet is saying that, you know, any pipeline approval,

00:04:31.880 if he's true to his word and he actually believes that Alberta oil and gas development

00:04:37.480 is more dangerous to the world, then the arteries clogged by Poutine, right, that he's not going

00:04:44.900 to support Carney's government if Carney approves a pipeline.

00:04:48.680 So again, it just underlines to Albertans why Canada doesn't work, why we need to get

00:04:53.420 out of Canada, and why this entire country is broken.

00:04:58.380 And that from an Alberta perspective, we just need to get the hell out.

00:05:02.480 Well, I have a clip from Daniel Smith earlier this week.

00:05:05.620 I want to talk about that, but let's get to the real news here.

00:05:09.040 Of course, you met again with high-level, cabinet-level members of the President Donald

00:05:13.700 Trump administration this week.

00:05:15.400 Tell us about it.

00:05:16.860 What transpired, and what do you think the consequences will be?

00:05:21.160 Well, I mean, I think one of the big things is I think it sent a bit of a shockwave through

00:05:25.880 both the provincial government in Edmonton and Carney's government in Ottawa.

00:05:30.720 I mean, our contacts with the Trump administration are every bit as good as theirs.

00:05:35.620 Right?

00:05:37.140 And obviously, you know, these meetings wouldn't be taking place if there wasn't a massive amount

00:05:46.220 of support within the Trump administration, if not from the President himself, for a free

00:05:52.220 and independent Alberta, you know, for self-determination for the province of Alberta.

00:05:56.360 You know, in the same way that President Trump announced that his joint address to Congress

00:06:00.620 that he supported self-determination for Greenland, you know, it's clear that the Trump administration,

00:06:06.200 as a matter of policy, supports self-determination for Alberta.

00:06:09.720 Right?

00:06:10.440 So, you know, that's the first big takeaway.

00:06:13.480 And then, you know, the nature of these conversations in the meetings, you know, are confidential.

00:06:17.420 But, you know, I wouldn't surprise anybody to know that the types of things that we would

00:06:22.540 be talking to them about would be, you know, immediate recognition for Alberta by the United

00:06:29.160 States as an independent country upon a successful referendum.

00:06:32.940 That immediately upon the United States recognizing Alberta as an independent country upon a successful

00:06:40.680 referendum, that we would immediately enter into the shortest free trade agreement in world

00:06:46.920 history, being less than one page of paper that says simply that there will be complete free trade

00:06:53.480 between Alberta and the United States, that there will be no tariffs on either side of the American

00:06:59.800 and Alberta border, that there will be a free transposition of goods and services between

00:07:08.620 Alberta and the United States with zero tariffs, and that the U.S. and Alberta effectively would

00:07:15.940 create a common market between, you know, our two countries that would allow us both to prosper.

00:07:23.120 So, you know, so those, you know, obviously would be would have been the, you know, would have

00:07:26.680 been the major topics of conversation, you know, from our perspective, you know, we are, you know,

00:07:32.520 also would have, you know, wanted to talk to the U.S. about, you know, the benefits to the United

00:07:39.100 States of an independent Alberta. You know, one of the biggest benefits to the United States,

00:07:44.340 obviously, of an independent Alberta is freeing up the world's third largest oil reserves

00:07:50.900 from control by a Communist Party of China adjacent government in Ottawa. I mean, you know,

00:07:58.100 we now live in a country, you know, Canadians now live in a country where the Prime Minister of Canada

00:08:03.400 is more closely aligned with the Communist Party of China than he is with our largest ally in the

00:08:10.840 United States of America. You know, and we see that every time, you know, and I think Carney's literally

00:08:15.840 one of the biggest drivers, obviously, is one of the biggest drivers of independence for Alberta. 0.99

00:08:21.520 Every time we turn around, the man does something new that's completely stupid and complete anathema 0.98

00:08:27.700 to the province of Alberta and the United States that does nothing but benefit Communist China. I 1.00

00:08:33.520 mean, we just have to go back last week, the government of Canada, you know, the Parliament

00:08:39.620 of Canada, in response to a resolution put forward by Pierre Polyev, who also seems to be wanting

00:08:45.760 to support Alberta independence, put forward a resolution to say that they're going to end

00:08:51.840 the carbon cap on the province of Alberta. And Carney and his government voted unanimously

00:08:58.400 to maintain the carbon cap against the government of Alberta. So obviously, that's not in the US

00:09:04.080 interest that, you know, Carney's because the carbon cap is effectively an emissions cap,

00:09:08.080 let's be straight, right. So, you know, the United States of America doesn't favour, you know,

00:09:13.600 Alberta oil being shut in, it doesn't favour production caps in Alberta, you know, the United

00:09:19.600 States wants Albertans to be able to produce as much oil as they can physically produce,

00:09:25.600 to help the United States maintain a stable and affordable oil price, so that people don't have

00:09:32.160 to pay more for gasoline of the pumps, diesel fuel to move their goods, and to allow both, you know,

00:09:37.680 the Alberta economy and the US economy to thrive. Right? I mean, everybody knows, or anybody who isn't

00:09:43.280 an idiot, okay, knows that one of the largest inputs to, you know, the price of goods in North America, 0.98

00:09:49.600 you know, is the cost of energy. So, you know, we all want, you know, stable, low energy prices, 1.00

00:09:56.560 and Mark Carney and Communist China wants to continue to make sure that the economy of North America does not 0.54

00:10:03.360 function as well as it should. Because, you know, a North American economy functioning at full capacity,

00:10:10.960 you know, the Chinese see that as a threat to their global hegemony. Full stop. And I mean, you know, 0.88

00:10:16.880 we're, you know, like, we're, you know, Glenn Beck, I can now say that we were at the State Department,

00:10:21.040 right, because Glenn Beck apparently this week confirmed that and has released that to the public. So,

00:10:27.200 so that's out in the public. So obviously, I mean, the US State Department, one of its biggest roles is

00:10:32.720 offsetting, you know, Chinese plans for total global domination, and the ongoing efforts of the 0.97

00:10:38.880 Chinese to cripple the North American economy, you know, whether it's through cyber attacks, 1.00

00:10:43.920 flooding our countries with fentanyl, now using Canada, you know, as the major source of fentanyl

00:10:51.200 manufacture, you know, in North America to, to destroy, you know, the United States and Canada from

00:10:57.920 within, you know, etc. So obviously, I mean, the US State Department and the US government has a

00:11:03.600 national interest in thwarting, you know, these evil tactics and strategies being deployed by China 0.99

00:11:11.200 in furtherance of its global domination. You know, so I mean, you know, and obviously from an Alberta

00:11:17.680 perspective, and you know, as a guy with an honours degree in poli-sci that at one point in his life was

00:11:21.440 studying foreign policy, it was a, you know, as an honours degree in law from the London School of

00:11:26.240 Economics. I mean, these are the types of things that we agree with, with the US State Department,

00:11:32.240 and see that Alberta, you know, and Canada should have the same interest. But Mark Carney, unfortunately,

00:11:38.720 you know, apparently is more communist Chinese than he is North American.

00:11:43.120 Right, yes, that's more his direct affiliation has been over the years. Interesting that Trump would

00:11:49.600 talk about an independent Alberta and not, not the 51st state, he's still talking about Canada

00:11:55.040 as a 51st state, whether he's jesting or not, it's hard to, it's hard to say, but he specifically

00:12:00.080 talked about Alberta as an independent Alberta, not as necessarily a 51st state. So,

00:12:05.760 well, there's a, there's a reality to that. I mean, that was, you know, that, again, hypothetically,

00:12:11.920 would have been one of the things that could have been discussed at that meeting. And, you know,

00:12:16.320 and that is, you know, that the, you know, from our perspective, and a US perspective in the State

00:12:21.840 Department, there's a recognition that for Alberta to become a state, and it's the same way that Alaska

00:12:26.800 became a state, you know, they had, you know, the Democrats were concerned that, you know, that,

00:12:31.840 you know, conservative Republican Alaska, you know, very much the same types of attitudes,

00:12:37.040 you know, as real Albertans, independent, you know, want to stand on their own, want very little

00:12:41.760 government interference in their lives. You know, that, that Alaska would want to be, 1.00

00:12:47.760 or they brought Alaska into the Union, that Alaska would add two more Senate seats to the Republican

00:12:55.040 side of the ledger. So the trade off was they brought Hawaii in at the same time, right? So,

00:12:59.600 you know, so let's have the hang loose people from Hawaii come in, and they'll vote Democrat, 0.93

00:13:04.160 and the, you know, the, the Alaskans will vote Republican, and there's a balance. So, you know,

00:13:11.120 the Republicans, I think, are of the view that if they tried to bring Alberta in as a state,

00:13:16.480 that the Democrats in the Senate would be demanding not just Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rico

00:13:20.640 and Washington DC as a trade off. And there's no appetite on the southern side of the border

00:13:25.280 right now to open up any discussions of statehood, because I don't think there's any interest in

00:13:31.440 further upsetting the balance of power, either in the Congress or the Senate,

00:13:35.760 by creating two states that would vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

00:13:38.960 It shouldn't surprise anybody that that would be the conversation or that that would be the,

00:13:48.000 you know, that that would be the position of Republicans in the United States and the U.S.

00:13:52.000 administration.

00:13:52.480 Yeah. I wanted to get your comment on this, this counter-referendum that's going on here from this

00:14:01.360 former MLA. Do you believe these numbers? He's claiming 233,000 signatures. I find that,

00:14:10.880 I frankly find that hard to believe, Chief.

00:14:12.800 Well, we were, we were, we were, we were surprised by it, but apparently, I mean,

00:14:16.480 I've confirmed it. Apparently that's, they've turned in to Elections Alberta, 230 somewhat signature,

00:14:22.400 230,000 signatures. But when you look at the fact that they're, you know,

00:14:27.040 that they're going in and they're gathering signatures from people with dementia in memory

00:14:31.440 care units and old folks homes and, you know, all of these places where people haven't got a clue

00:14:36.640 as to what they're signing. And, you know, that people don't even understand what the question

00:14:44.400 really means, remain in Canada, you know, like forever, whatever, you know, you know,

00:14:51.040 like, what does that question mean? It's already been referred to by a judge as a legally irrelevant,

00:14:56.000 nothing burger of a question. The judge's words were nothing burger, not mine. So the judge referred

00:15:00.880 to that question as a legally irrelevant, nothing burger. So, you know, our attitude is, first of

00:15:06.640 all, you know, we are, you know, we're, we're surprised that, you know, the cassock was that

00:15:10.800 organized, but, you know, they had all the unions on side, all of the lefties were on,

00:15:15.120 all the left wing people at Alberta were on side and we're going out working for them. So, you know,

00:15:21.840 we're not, you know, we're not shocked that that's where they're at. They have 25 days to go. They'll

00:15:27.040 probably need another 100,000 signatures if they're to have a buffer, you know, to make sure that,

00:15:31.760 you know, that they, you know, that all of their signatures comply. You know, and then at that point,

00:15:38.400 it's kind of a big, so what? I mean, they put forward a policy question that's not binding, right?

00:15:44.480 The question that we're going to be putting forward will be a binding constitutional question.

00:15:49.200 Under the Referendum Act, our question has to be held as a standalone, you know, as a standalone

00:15:57.040 question, right? So, by the time little Tommy's question gets on a referendum ballot with a bunch

00:16:04.240 of other questions, you know, first of all, everybody in Alberta could vote no, which just

00:16:08.880 opens the door, you know, to our question. Second of all, the government has the discretion as to whether

00:16:14.160 to put that question on the ballot or not, or to put our question on the ballot, because obviously,

00:16:20.560 you know, that question of Lukasik's doesn't comply with the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act requires that

00:16:25.760 a question leading to separation states that the province wants to cease being a province of Canada

00:16:34.640 and wishes to become an independent country, which is what our question does, right? So Lukasik's question

00:16:41.040 really doesn't mean anything, you know, from that perspective. You know, I mean, it just is what it

00:16:46.960 is, frankly, you know, I mean, you know, did it surprise me that he could, you know, get,

00:16:52.160 be that organized? A little bit. But, you know, again, he's a former deputy premier. I mean,

00:16:56.800 you know, he's got all of the, you know, all of the former socialist, progressive, conservative,

00:17:01.440 you know, welfare premiers on side, like, you know, fast Eddie Stelmac, and, you know, some,

00:17:08.080 you know, and a lot of the progressive conservative ilk that, you know, that do very well on government

00:17:14.320 subsidies and handouts, right? So, you know, it's not, it's not totally surprising, right? You know,

00:17:20.000 I mean, he told Danielle several months ago that he had 147,000 or a month and a half ago that he had

00:17:25.760 147,000 signatures, and I kind of shrugged at the time, and I said, oh, with those numbers,

00:17:30.240 you'll make, you'll, you'll, you'll probably make us 300. Yeah, no, but I, I suppose it's feasible.

00:17:37.040 It's feasible. Yeah, as you say, he's, he's scouting the outer regions of the province to find,

00:17:42.720 to find some of these people. Well, the other thing is, the other thing is, too, there's a real,

00:17:46.960 there's an issue for him, because I think under the old act to get a question on the ballot,

00:17:51.520 you know, that you needed to have 10% of the vote from two thirds of the constituencies in Alberta,

00:17:59.520 and I'm not sure that they've managed to pull that off, or that they're going to manage to pull

00:18:03.680 that off either. They, you know, I'm sure they got a lot of, a lot of signatures in Edmonton,

00:18:10.480 right? You know, they got, you know, they, I'm sure they've gotten quite a few signatures,

00:18:14.880 you know, from old folks homes in Calgary, right? You know, but, you know, do they have 10%

00:18:21.520 from two thirds of the constituency associations across the province? It's doubtful.

00:18:26.320 So, but we'll see. You know, we'll see. I mean, we're, we, you know, again, you know,

00:18:29.840 like, as the judge said, we just see the whole thing as a, as a big nothing burger,

00:18:33.920 and we're not overly concerned about it at this time.

00:18:36.720 Were you surprised? We were talking yesterday, and, and you said you weren't really surprised,

00:18:40.800 but I was surprised that Pierpoli of this week said, don't pay any attention to what the premiers say

00:18:46.400 or do. It's all up to Mark Carney in terms of a pipeline. I mean, this guy has a

00:18:51.200 seat now in Alberta, supposedly, and he's supposedly fighting for, for Alberta as an,

00:18:57.280 as a member of parliament. Why would he say something like that? Because it seems to me

00:19:03.200 to be playing right into Carney's hands. Well, Jenny Byrne must still be giving him

00:19:07.200 political advice. I'm not sure. Right? Like, you know, he's been stepping all over

00:19:12.160 Danielle. I'm like, Danielle, unfortunately, and I say this, and I mean this, unfortunately,

00:19:16.640 Danielle is one of Pierre's big supporters. One of Pierre Pauly has big supporters.

00:19:21.760 And in fact, I know for a fact, talking to, you know, Mitch Sylvester and talking to other people

00:19:27.520 that are very, very close to the government, Mitch has excellent connections. He's a constituency

00:19:31.760 association president, that the main reason that Danielle Smith did not just instantly repatriate 0.94

00:19:38.240 the Alberta pension and send a letter to Alberta pension, or the Canadian pension plan,

00:19:42.560 demanding that they return Alberta the $365 billion of the pension plan fund that belonged to Albertans,

00:19:49.840 is that Pierre Pauly have literally begged her not to, because that would make his life more

00:19:54.480 difficult running for prime minister. And so Danielle, oh, yes, we have to get a conservative 1.00

00:19:59.120 government in Ottawa, because, you know, conservative government in Ottawa will be the savior of Alberta.

00:20:04.080 So, you know, Danielle did not repatriate, you know, the Alberta cost, or the Alberta pension plan,

00:20:08.800 or CPOK, sorry, Canadian pension plan dollars, at the behest and whining of Pierre Pauly have.

00:20:16.960 Then Pierre Pauly have last week, really screwed Danielle, when he put forward that motion on the

00:20:23.680 carbon cap, because don't forget, I mean, Danielle has been burning political capital, like a drunk 1.00

00:20:28.400 lighting cigars with $100 bills, right? By going, oh, I'm getting along really well with Mark Carney,

00:20:34.160 and my new boyfriend, Mark Carney, and I'm getting along really well. And he's a really good guy,

00:20:38.400 and he's going to give us what we want. And, you know, I'm wooing him, and he's been wooing me,

00:20:42.640 and oh, my goodness, we're going to get pipelines, and all the world is going to be so wonderful,

00:20:46.560 because Mark Carney's really a good guy, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:20:49.520 So anyway, you know, so, and of course, she's getting nothing. So she hasn't got one of the nine

00:20:55.520 bad that she refers to as the bad laws repealed. She hasn't gotten a pipeline. And then last week,

00:21:02.640 along goes, and every time you turn around, she says, oh, I'm on Team Canada, and I'm so excited. Look,

00:21:06.720 I'm wearing my red blazer and my white shirt, and I'm dressed up like a Canadian flag, and I'm so

00:21:10.400 happy to be part of Team Canada, you know, like she's doing all that. And then, you know, along

00:21:14.720 comes Blanchette, and there would never be an Alberta pipeline, because Alberta oil is filthy

00:21:19.120 oil, and it's polluting the world. Or David Eby, it's like, our pristine British Columbia coast will

00:21:23.680 not be imploded with Alberta oil and all this, you know, garbage, right? Every time, and I've said this

00:21:28.800 more than once, because this has been going on for six months. Every time Danielle says that she's on Team Canada,

00:21:33.920 and this is going to get her a pipeline, one of these bozos, whether it's Eby or Blanchette, 0.83

00:21:40.640 or, you know, Legault, come out and literally cross-check her in the mouth. So, like, she's on

00:21:46.160 this team, Team Canada, and every time she turns around, she gets elbowed in the head, cross-checked

00:21:50.640 in the mouth, punched in the face, you know, whatever. I mean, who wants to be on that team,

00:21:55.440 right? So there's been six months of this. Like, her political capital has just been flying out the

00:22:00.400 window, right? And then last week, it was the same thing, right? It's like, you know,

00:22:05.040 Pierre Polyev thinks it's a good idea for his perspective, because that's all he cares about,

00:22:09.920 is what's good for him, right? Not what's good for Danielle, and not what's good for Albertans,

00:22:14.560 puts forward this motion on, you know, the carbon cap on Alberta industry, and the Carney government

00:22:21.280 votes unanimously to say no. So that left Danielle with, like, no room to move. She's looking really 0.95

00:22:29.600 stupid, because she's given Carney six months. Not only has she gotten nothing from Carney with 1.00

00:22:34.240 regard to these so-called bad nine laws, tanker ban, carbon cap, you know, etc., etc. You know,

00:22:40.640 Carney, again, just slaps her in the teeth, votes along with all of his Liberal members to unanimously

00:22:46.320 vote to uphold in Parliament, you know, the emissions cap and effectively production cap on Alberta

00:22:53.360 oil and gas. And then that left Danielle with no room other than to come forward with this

00:22:58.960 desperate gambit. And I call it her pipeline proponent gambit, where, you know, she announces

00:23:05.360 this big fanfare, and oh my goodness, we have this major announcement coming up, I'm going to make this

00:23:10.400 major announcement. And then she announces that, you know, she's going to go on her hands and knees, 1.00

00:23:16.720 and big Mark Carney is a project proponent for a pipeline through British Columbia. You know, I mean,

00:23:24.400 for Albertans, I mean, this was just like an embarrassment. You know, like, you know, and I

00:23:30.320 think you and I were talking about this offline. So I'll try to keep my language a bit, you know,

00:23:33.360 on a Sunday morning, if you're trying to keep my language a little bit more in line. But you know,

00:23:36.880 Albertans are going, what the FNF like is going on here? Like, going and begging the FNF

00:23:41.760 federal government for an FN pipeline? Like, are you FN out of your mind? Right? That's, I mean,

00:23:46.080 that's the reaction of the normal, you know, the normal Albertan. And of course, what happened was that

00:23:51.280 Polyev left her no room politically, other than to do that. And then when she does it,

00:23:56.480 so she's now, you know, literally has her butt hanging out in the wind, then Polyev comes out

00:24:01.920 and says, Oh, and by the way, the only person in Canada that can approve a pipeline is Mark Carney.

00:24:07.200 So everybody just needs to ignore any provincial premier who has anything to say about pipelines.

00:24:14.160 And I mean, so again, like, you know, she came out with this, her pipeline proponent gambit,

00:24:18.800 and then Polyev stepped all over her. There's going to be a little bit of pushback here. We

00:24:23.040 already have the premier to the west. Sorry to interrupt there. I wanted to show you this clip

00:24:28.320 because it's interesting to me, Danielle almost sounds like she's giving a pitch for separation

00:24:35.520 and independence in this clip without exactly doing so. Obviously, there's going to be a little bit of

00:24:40.000 pushback here. We already have the premier to the west of us calling this not realistic, essentially a

00:24:44.960 distraction. So how do you plan to deal with some of the opponents to this project, whether it's

00:24:50.480 the premier next door, whether it's some of these indigenous groups, whether it's just activists who

00:24:54.960 don't want a pipeline? So I will continue, as I said, to work to build the coalition of partners who are

00:25:01.760 going to be on board with this. But this is a Canada project. And this is a test of whether Canada

00:25:07.920 works as a country. Because if we can't build with the collaboration of the federal government

00:25:13.840 and between provinces, if it's everybody gets to get their products going to market except Alberta,

00:25:18.880 that's not a country. A country is one where we support each other.

00:25:23.920 Yeah, well, what do you say? Well, she's playing both sides against the middle, 1.00

00:25:28.960 right? I mean, she's embarrassed, right? And she's rightly embarrassed, right?

00:25:33.360 You know, and this is what she's been doing. And then on top of it, I mean, she's basically now,

00:25:39.520 you know, she's trying to reset the clock, because her six months is up coming up, you know, at the end 0.94

00:25:44.800 of October. So, you know, she's been, you know, privately signaling to everybody that there's going to

00:25:49.840 be some and not so privately, maybe now, but that there's going to be some big announcement before

00:25:55.680 Grey Cup, that's going to be a complete game changer, right? And so maybe she thinks that by putting this

00:26:01.120 pipeline, you know, you know, like, on, you know, on, you know, like, begging, you know,

00:26:06.080 for a pipeline, by being project proponent, that Mark Carney might actually, oh, my goodness,

00:26:13.120 condescend to put her pipeline proponent project on the list on the next list of federal major 0.90

00:26:22.480 projects, right? Potential federal projects, five or 10 years from now, right? So that's what's going on.

00:26:29.120 And so, and again, from our perspective is, first of all, Danielle, so what that you're applying for

00:26:33.440 a pipeline, you know, as a pipeline proponent, it's embarrassing that the Premier of Alberta

00:26:38.400 and the Government of Canada have created economic conditions and regulatory conditions

00:26:43.520 that are so abysmal that nobody with capital wants to put this project forward on their own,

00:26:49.680 and the government has to do that. I mean, that indicates how broken Canada is,

00:26:54.320 that we can only get projects like this bill, if, you know, some, you know, a five year planning

00:27:00.800 office in the government comes out with its five year plan and puts the project on the list,

00:27:05.920 and then industry itself won't even build it, you know, the government has to come forward as a,

00:27:10.640 you know, as the proponent to build the project. To me, it sounds a lot like Mussolini's Italy's 0.63

00:27:15.840 challenge Russia, you know, major projects get built on a five year plan with the government,

00:27:22.320 you know, being the ones leading the projects, etc, etc. So I think it's embarrassing that,

00:27:27.440 you know, that she's tacitly admitting that she's, she's standing for or accepting,

00:27:33.520 you know, an economic condition or a country that is so broken, that only, you know, only the government,

00:27:41.280 you know, can make these kinds of projects happen, you know, is point one. And then, you know, point

00:27:46.480 two, you know, is that, you know, she's making it absolutely clear that, you know, Canada's not

00:27:53.360 working, but she hasn't, you know, you know, to say, like, she said, six months ago, oh, well,

00:27:59.040 unless I get my nine bad laws struck down, right, you know, this is going to create a national unity

00:28:06.240 crisis, right? So she gave them six months, we're now at the date for the national unity crisis.

00:28:11.760 And now she's literally, you know, scrambling to try to create herself another six months of breathing 0.99

00:28:16.960 room, where she can run around the province in her red blazer and her white shirt dressed up like a 0.99

00:28:22.000 Canadian flag saying that she's on Team Canada. You know, so I mean, none of us are impressed. I mean,

00:28:27.200 it's, you know, there's a lot of people, you know, there's a lot of Daniel Smith apologists in Alberta,

00:28:31.840 you know, that are saying that, you know, that, oh, yeah, you know, this is all, you know,

00:28:38.800 this is all, you know, just a big mind game on her part. And she's trying to teach Albertans that 0.70

00:28:44.160 Canada doesn't work. And she's trying to bring along the soft middle to separation, because 1.00

00:28:49.760 she's just proving to everybody once and for all that there's no fixing Canada, you know, you know,

00:28:56.400 you know, I'm sure she's doing that. But I don't think she's doing it on purpose. Right? I, you know,

00:29:01.680 I honestly, you know, everybody thinks she's playing chess. I don't even know that she's 0.95

00:29:05.040 playing checkers that well. Well, it's certainly she's walking a, a high wire tightrope right now.

00:29:13.600 And it's, it's extremely, I think, exacting upon her. But for me, I don't think that's the analogy

00:29:22.160 anymore, David, I think she's floundering around in the net underneath the underneath 0.99

00:29:25.920 That might be a little rough. But no, but it's true, right? I mean, it's, you know, like,

00:29:33.360 you know, like, she gave him six months to fix things. Well, have we seen anything get fixed?

00:29:37.600 No. And, you know, on, you know, literally on the eve of the six month deadline, they voted

00:29:42.480 unanimously in Parliament to extend the carbon cap and emission cap on Alberta and the production cap

00:29:48.080 on Alberta. So, you know, how is how, how has she accomplished anything in six months, other than,

00:29:55.520 you know, show Albertans that Canada is well and truly, you know, well and truly doesn't want

00:30:00.880 Alberta as part of the country? Well, she, when she was at these town hall meetings, and I think that

00:30:06.880 at least showed, you know, how she takes the situation very seriously. And she's, she's accounting

00:30:11.920 for that. But she talked about somehow recouping equalization payments at one at one particular

00:30:17.520 meeting. And I, I covered that as a story one morning. And I thought, you know, I don't know if this

00:30:23.680 is going to work, the way you're outlining it. But for me, the best argument that you have

00:30:30.640 in advocating for Alberta independence is that equalization ain't ever going to change in this

00:30:36.640 country, because peer poly and the Conservative Party candidate is committed to it. And well,

00:30:42.080 that's why, you know, that's why we put together this document called the value of freedom, where

00:30:46.640 we show that Alberta currently in CPP UI and tax revenue, send $70 billion plus a year to Ottawa,

00:30:55.120 and we get less than $20 billion a year back, an independent Alberta, you know, free from, you

00:31:01.200 know, Canada, and so called equalization, would have a 30 to $50 billion a year fiscal capacity surplus,

00:31:09.040 after funding our own our armed forces, tripling the spend on Indigenous people in Alberta, you know,

00:31:15.040 paying for our own immigration and deportation program, you know, paying for our own border security

00:31:20.560 and border patrol, you know, etc, etc. Like, the numbers just do not add up for Alberta to stay in

00:31:27.680 Canada. And I've said more than once, Mitch Sylvester actually personally hand delivered

00:31:32.960 a copy of this document to Danielle at a meeting that they had. And, you know, we've been telling,

00:31:38.400 and we've been hand delivering them to MLAs and, you know, and others in the government. And we're

00:31:43.840 telling them, unless you enact that document, and unless you support Alberta independence,

00:31:48.800 you know, you are violating your fiduciary obligation to the citizens of Alberta,

00:31:54.000 you know, you're mismanaging this province, you're mismanaging our finances. And, you know,

00:31:58.560 you know, who elected you to continue to preside over sending $70 billion a year to Ottawa,

00:32:05.360 when we only get $50 billion a year, we only get $20 billion a year back in questionably,

00:32:11.120 you know, questionable quality services, and a bunch of, you know, transfers that have all these

00:32:16.160 strings attached, you know, to them, like, you know, Canada Health Act transfers, you know,

00:32:21.920 where they tell Alberta that we can't drastically reform our healthcare system by bringing in private

00:32:27.280 options, so the people that have money can actually get healthcare in Alberta, instead of having to go

00:32:31.520 spend millions of dollars at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, and so on, right? You know, I mean,

00:32:37.600 those are the types of things Albertans want, but we can't do it because of the Alberta, or because of

00:32:41.520 the Canada Health Act, and they keep threatening to cut, then threatening to cut off our health

00:32:46.000 transfers if we do. You know, we want Ottawa completely out of Alberta, and now the next

00:32:51.600 thing is, and this is, you know, I guess this is kind of news, but, you know, Mitch Sylvester and

00:32:57.120 others that are affiliated with the independence movement are organizing a massive rally in Edmonton

00:33:03.840 at the legislature on the 25th of October, because of the Carney's planned ongoing gun grab, right?

00:33:13.360 I mean, you know, and again, we, you know, we heard, and I can't even pronounce his name,

00:33:17.680 you know, or even remember his name, but, you know, the-

00:33:20.320 The public safety minister?

00:33:21.600 Yeah, the, you know, Minister Chipmunk, you know, who, you know, doesn't even know, you know,

00:33:28.640 what a PAL or an RPAL is, you know, telling on tape, telling one of his constituents that this

00:33:34.560 whole program, you know, is simply in place to appease voters in Quebec, and to make sure

00:33:39.920 that Liberals keep getting elected in Montreal, right? So, you know, basically Albertans are

00:33:46.080 going to, you know, lose or become criminals if they don't turn in, you know, legally owned firearms

00:33:52.240 that have never been ever once used in the commission of a criminal offense in Canada. Like, you know,

00:33:58.640 you know, certain people have like 28 pound target rifles that have been criminalized,

00:34:04.320 right, or prohibited, you know, that they've been shooting legally on their farms and ranches,

00:34:08.240 or, you know, you know, for, you know, for decades, that have now just a stroke of a pen, because,

00:34:13.920 you know, Justin Trudeau got a memo from his handlers in the Ministry of State Security in

00:34:18.240 Communist China, you know, telling him the Chinese would be a lot more comfortable if Canadians didn't 0.98

00:34:24.240 have, you know, rifles that were capable of taking out an engine block on a Chinese BMP

00:34:30.640 in their possession when the Chinese rolled into, you know, Canada, you know, all of a sudden, these 1.00

00:34:35.520 firearms end up on a list, or alternatively, you know, 22 caliber Gopher rifles, you know,

00:34:41.840 that, you know, have been listed simply because they look scary, right? You know, I mean, on and on

00:34:48.640 and on. And then Trudeau's benighted plan was to box all of these things up into, into containers

00:34:54.400 and ship them to Ukraine, you know, which is ludicrous. I mean, you're ex-military, right? So,

00:34:59.360 you know, think about, you know, like, the utility of container loads of mixed-matched firearms that

00:35:06.880 don't have standardized ammunition, standardized magazines, maintenance manuals, you know, whatever,

00:35:13.120 whatever, I mean, could you imagine a Russian Spetsnaz unit trembling at the sight of a bunch

00:35:18.400 of 65-year-old conscripts holding, you know, confiscated Canadian Gopher rifles?

00:35:23.920 No, it's, you know, I mean, it's ludicrous, right? And this is how policy has been made in Canada,

00:35:31.280 and why Albertans are so fed up. We see this, it's like the ostrich farm thing, it's a private property

00:35:36.800 issue. These firearms are property of people in Alberta that have been using this property legally

00:35:44.080 and lawfully for decades. We're not a problem, but all of a sudden somebody in Ottawa decides that our

00:35:50.080 property offends a bureaucrat, so all of a sudden we're told that unless our property, you know,

00:35:56.320 is turned over for destruction by the Canadian government, right, that we're going to be

00:36:01.360 criminalized. It's, you know, it's basically the ostrich issue writ large from coast to coast to

00:36:06.480 coast in Canada. Yeah, well, I wanted to, I wanted to touch on that briefly here, because I don't

00:36:10.080 think the federal government has ever looked more ravenous than it does right now. With the gun grab,

00:36:15.760 they've got three censorship bills in front of parliament, possibly a fourth, actually. You can

00:36:22.560 actually say there's four censorship bills to restrict free speech, censor anybody on the internet.

00:36:28.720 We've got grand surveillance programs, not a word, by the way, from Pierre Polyev about any of these

00:36:34.560 censorship bills. Oh, of course not. And the ostriches. I didn't know the CFIA was a criminal 0.93

00:36:40.800 organization that acted above the law, that could act with impunity from animal cruelty legislation.

00:36:47.120 It can do basically whatever the hell it wants, and without anybody questioning this in the government.

00:36:54.080 And of course, Polyev says, well, it's incompetent, but he manages to answer the question about the

00:36:58.640 ostriches without mentioning ostrich and the answer. And it's extremely unnerving to listen

00:37:04.960 to him talk about this issue, because he doesn't want to say, this is gross negligence. This is

00:37:09.920 outrageous overreach of government. He just wants to say, well, just another example of liberal

00:37:14.560 incompetence. And farmers are confused. No, farmers are not confused. Farmers know what the hell this

00:37:20.640 government wants. They want their property, they want their land, they want their animals, and they want

00:37:26.000 their livelihood. That's what this liberal government wants. And is Canada working for Katie Pasadenae

00:37:32.480 and the folks who own that farm? Absolutely not. Canada's not working. And I don't know what their

00:37:39.760 politics are in terms of Alberta independence, British Columbia independence. I know they're very angry

00:37:46.560 with this liberal government and with Mark Carney doing nothing. And with Pierre Polyev giving half-assed

00:37:51.440 responses like that. So has there ever been a better time? Pierre Polyev is no friend of freedom. He's no

00:37:58.720 friend of Alberta. I mean, and I was saying that when he was running, you know, when he was running in

00:38:05.360 Battle River Crowfoot. I mean, he was actually he ran in the federal election on the basis that he would

00:38:10.880 maintain transfer payments for Quebec because he wanted to get elected in Quebec. He also said that he was

00:38:16.480 going to do nothing to touch supply management. Apparently now dairy's on the table in the trade 0.69

00:38:22.320 talks with Mark Carney, so elbows down, right? You know, as they had been, they had to be. I mean,

00:38:28.160 we're not, you know, but again, to what degree has our national economy been jeopardized, right, by,

00:38:34.480 you know, by Mark Carney perpetuating this foolish trade war? I mean, you know, they should have gotten

00:38:39.760 rid of supply management on day one, the minute Carney was elected. It's the biggest, one of the biggest trade

00:38:45.680 irritants for the Trump administration. You know, it's almost like number one on their hit list.

00:38:51.760 And it's such a small portion of our economy, you know, who cares other than for the, you know,

00:38:57.440 to the extent that they don't want to give up votes in Quebec. But we're going to, we're going to destroy

00:39:02.000 the national economy because, you know, there's certain there's, you know, there's, you know,

00:39:07.760 basically a dairy cartel in Quebec that has been making billions off of this. And keep in mind,

00:39:13.440 when we talk about, you know, the dairy cartel, if it wasn't for supply management,

00:39:18.320 everything that they're doing, you know, would offend the Competition Act and would be illegal.

00:39:22.640 I mean, it's like the, you know, it's what they do with milk and dairy in this province is like

00:39:27.200 what the Weston's were doing with bread on steroids, right? You know, I know it's not a measly 75 cents a

00:39:33.120 loaf or 25 cents a loaf or whatever it is. This is, they literally have jacked up the price of milk and

00:39:38.880 cheese and dairy products and eggs and pork and whatever in this province by four in this country

00:39:44.480 by 400%. So think about that, right? Every working poor family, which is now almost everybody in Canada,

00:39:53.120 is paying 400% more for milk, dairy and, you know, milk and dairy than they should be. Every poor

00:39:58.800 Indigenous family in this province in this country is paying 400% more for milk and dairy than they should

00:40:04.240 be. You know, every single mom in this country, you know, is being, you know, is being, you know,

00:40:10.240 is being preyed on by these people. And our government just maintains it because it's important to

00:40:15.680 maintain votes in Quebec. You know, Canada is governed, and I've been saying this for years,

00:40:20.320 by one of the most corrupt governments and systems of government in the world. I mean, I think you'd have

00:40:25.760 to go back to the old Soviet Union to see how badly Canada is now being, has now being operated. I mean,

00:40:32.960 Canada used to work, you know, on a system, you know, where, and again, the only real checks and

00:40:38.400 balances in our system under the Canadian constitution, you know, was the principle of

00:40:42.240 responsible government and, you know, quaint 19th century notions of honour, right? So this is why the

00:40:49.440 Prime Minister is right honourable and ministers are honourable, right? So if a minister gets caught

00:40:55.040 trying to fix a, you know, trying to fix a parking ticket for one of his, you know, one of his donors or

00:41:00.400 whatever it is, you know, that's, that's something that's dishonourable, and they're expected to

00:41:04.560 resign. I mean, back in the 70s, ministers would be forced to resign, you know, if they were found

00:41:09.680 doing the things that our public safety minister did recently, you know, like, you know, by offering

00:41:15.680 to pay for his, you know, oh, well, everybody else can go screw themselves. But you know, with your guns,

00:41:20.640 just tell me how much money you're going to be cheated, you know, when you turn your guns in,

00:41:25.040 and I'll personally make up the difference out of my campaign funds, I'm sure it wouldn't be out of

00:41:28.880 the minister's personal pocket, so that you'll be okay, screw everybody else, right? I mean, you know,

00:41:34.560 if that had been Bryce Mackesy or anybody in the 70s, you know, that minister would have been expected to

00:41:40.480 resign, because that is not honourable behaviour, right? But all those quaint notions, obviously, of

00:41:47.920 honour and, you know, you know, and right honourable behaviour, went out the window during the

00:41:53.120 Trudeau regime, I mean, there's been a slow erosion over time. But you know, the SNC-Lavalin scandal,

00:41:58.480 you know, where you've got SNC funneling money, you know, into the government, and then it turns out 0.73

00:42:03.520 that SNC is a company whose corporate practices include, you know, hiring prostitutes to secure 0.82

00:42:09.280 government contracts and whatever else, right? You know, etc, etc. And then scandal after scandal, 0.91

00:42:15.200 after scandal, after scandal, you know, getting Trudeau would resign? Of course not, because the word

00:42:20.000 right honourable has completely lost any meaning. You know, like back in the day, and you know,

00:42:25.200 in Great Britain, you know, if, you know, if a Prime Minister had behaved in such an embarrassing

00:42:32.000 manner to Queen Victoria, you know, they would be expected to immediately tender their resignation.

00:42:37.680 You know, let's go back to the whole ad scam, you know, scandal, right, where they're funneling

00:42:42.960 hundreds of millions of dollars into, you know, into the pockets of, you know, various Quebecly

00:42:50.000 tenants to buy votes in the 95 referendum, right? You know, to this day, all of those files are sealed,

00:42:56.960 and we're not, you know, we're not allowed to know, you know, who were, you know, who in Quebec were

00:43:00.960 receiving all of the bribes, and who was paying all of the bribes. I mean, that's one of the reasons,

00:43:05.360 it was interesting, Plamondon, Monsieur Plamondon was sharing that story with us. He said that was one of

00:43:10.160 the reasons that he became a paykist, was that when he was a young lawyer working at the, you know,

00:43:15.920 the big national firm he was at, that firm was attached to the ad scam inquiry, and when he saw

00:43:21.600 the level of corruption, you know, in the federal government, and the degree to which the federal

00:43:27.360 government would just openly and blatantly corrupt and bribe its way through the politics of Quebec,

00:43:34.000 you know, at that moment, you know, Monsieur Plamondon became a committed paykist, and was committed to

00:43:39.120 getting Quebec out of Canada, just because of all of the corruption, you know, in the Canadian regime

00:43:45.840 in Ottawa. So, I mean, you know, Canada has become a kleptocracy, and now nobody turns the hair at,

00:43:51.760 you know, at Carney's 103, you know, ethics violations. I'm sure there's more than that now.

00:44:02.400 Well, you know, I mean, and I don't think anybody, I challenge anybody to name a project

00:44:08.480 that made the national major projects list that doesn't have a Brookfield tie-in, that's not going

00:44:14.640 to basically funnel money from a Canadian taxpayer, you know, into a major project through Brookfield

00:44:21.840 into Carney's offshore bank account. You know, Canada has literally become a joke. We're the most corrupt

00:44:27.280 country in the world. With an authoritarian government that just wants us to suffer, and

00:44:33.360 I think Mark Carney, Marx's Carney is the best argument you have for Alberta independence. It

00:44:38.400 remains that, and you're not getting any help from the official opposition. So all I can say,

00:44:44.480 Jeff, is that I don't think things have looked better for your cause since perhaps the

00:44:50.960 twilight years of Pierre Trudeau. And I would think if you're not a 50% support now for independence

00:44:58.880 in Alberta, I think you're going to get there within the next six months. So I know you're working

00:45:04.000 hard on this issue, and we're going to continue to watch what happens. And I think what you're doing

00:45:10.560 and what you're calling for might just be inevitable.

00:45:14.080 Well, I think it is. And there's been, I don't know if you've heard of Martin Armstrong, but

00:45:19.920 Armstrong economics. You should actually look them up and look up Armstrong economics on

00:45:25.440 Alberta independence. Armstrong has a really, really solid track record at determining political

00:45:34.240 outcomes by an analysis of economic factors. And Armstrong economics has actually predicted

00:45:41.920 that Alberta will be an independent country within two years. So, I mean, that's, I really do.

00:45:47.680 And I think everybody in Alberta has a sense now that it's inevitable. And even, you know,

00:45:51.600 Danielle Smith with her recent, you know, this is a test for Canada as a country. I mean,

00:45:56.160 the reason that she keeps playing both sides against the middle is that she's trying to be very careful 1.00

00:46:02.560 to try to hang on to the reins of power. And she's literally told people,

00:46:06.240 one not going to become a David Cameron, you know, you know, and resign if, you know,

00:46:12.160 Alberta votes itself independent. I think the real question for Danielle is to whether,

00:46:16.400 is whether or not she can continue playing both sides against the middle and hold on to her base, 0.99

00:46:21.520 because our base, her, you know, her base is just shaking their head every time she comes up with

00:46:25.600 anything now. And more and more and more people are not believing anything she says. I mean, she still has

00:46:31.600 diehard supporters and apologists in Alberta, but, you know, people are looking on more and more and

00:46:37.360 more with complete disbelief, you know, anytime, you know, and you notice she hasn't said I'm on

00:46:42.960 Team Canada, or I believe in a strong Alberta within the United Canada in the last week.

00:46:49.600 Right. I mean, that used to be her tagline slogan, you know, it was almost like, you know, I'm Jesse

00:46:56.080 Waters, and this is my world, right? You know, Danielle almost closed off everything she said 0.99

00:47:01.120 with, I believe in a strong Alberta within the United Canada. We haven't heard that from her

00:47:04.960 in the last week. So who knows? No, we haven't. Jeffrey Rath, legal counsel for the Alberta

00:47:10.080 Prosperity Project, advocate for Alberta independence. Thanks for coming on the show again. We're going to

00:47:14.960 stay in touch. And there's so much happening right now. It's hard to keep up with everything,

00:47:19.360 but we're going to keep up with the story. Thank you again, Jeff. No, thank you, David. It's always

00:47:23.280 an honor and a pleasure to come on. So thank you. And we'll see you again soon. Bye for now.

00:47:29.920 And of course, with Jeff Rath, legal counsel for the Alberta Prosperity Project, advocate for Alberta

00:47:36.400 independence. And it's very important to note that Jeff was part of the group and that went down to

00:47:42.480 visit with Donald Trump's key cabinet members and advisors. And Donald Trump has lent his support

00:47:51.600 to Alberta independence. So this is big, big news. National Post printed it. As far as I know,

00:47:59.280 though, Jeff has not been interviewed by any podcasters, broadcasters or mainstream media

00:48:05.440 since he's come back from Washington. So this is this is big news. We're proud, proud to be carrying the

00:48:10.080 story here. Proud to be carrying it. Wanted to I never say wanted to show you something here. And if

00:48:19.360 the producer could put this on the screen, this is a once again, a clarification of what the Supreme Court

00:48:27.760 is up to here or what the Supreme Court has ruled in terms of the respondent being the Canadian Food

00:48:37.440 Inspection Agency in this case. And the Supreme Court clearly states in its order that the respondent,

00:48:47.680 CFIA, shall maintain custody of the birds that are subject to the notice to dispose and the applicant

00:48:54.000 shall not interfere with the respondent's custody of the birds pending the decision on this motion

00:48:59.280 and the application for leave to appeal. R is the CFIA exercising proper custody. What do you think of

00:49:09.600 when you hear custody? Well, if you have custody of your children, if you have custody of your children,

00:49:17.120 you're supposed to be looking after them, caring for them, feeding them, clothing them. Obviously,

00:49:21.760 the ostriches don't need to be clothed, but they need to be fed and given water. These ostriches are 0.99

00:49:26.640 suffering from dehydration. We don't know if they're being fed. And as I said at the top of this

00:49:32.640 broadcast, Spirit, one of the hens, ostrich hens, died yesterday. It clearly looked like she died of

00:49:41.680 neglect, despite the CFIA's erroneous report that this was a pre-existing condition. B.S.

00:49:50.320 We are sick of hearing the lies from the CFIA. This is an organization that is all about terrorizing animals.

00:50:02.240 And they're nothing but a bureaucratic death squad. That's all they are.

00:50:08.160 Now, let's listen to Katie and the latest from Katie. As I said, I was on the phone with her

00:50:13.840 just prior to coming on this broadcast. And I don't know how she holds up as well as she does.

00:50:21.520 It's just constant conflict. She's had her farm occupied by hundreds of RCMP officers who remain on the scene. 0.98

00:50:30.480 All of these CFIA executioners who are not cooperating, they literally cannot talk to the CFIA agents.

00:50:41.840 They have to send an email to the head office in Ottawa.

00:50:47.200 They can't check on the care and safety of their birds.

00:50:51.680 They have no idea what's going on. I talked to Katie. I said, can you even tell me how many

00:50:55.600 birds are still there? And she said, we can't confirm or verify that. So, you know, I'm not saying

00:51:03.120 399 anymore or even 398 because we don't know. This is an absolute travesty.

00:51:11.120 And not only that, the CFIA is putting poisonous material on the ground. I wonder why they've been doing that.

00:51:19.440 Now, let's listen to Katie here. And I'll show you some expo. Shame on you, Canadian Food Inspection Agency. 1.00

00:51:29.360 Shame on you. Hi, everyone. Katie with Universal Ostrich Farms. 0.99

00:51:32.880 Um, so it's been brought to my knowledge. We knew yesterday we saw Spirit throwing her head back.

00:51:39.200 Um, you know, we put the signs on today to show us a picture of our hen, right?

00:51:45.600 They're not tubing her. She's just doing the kick of death. They're not tubing her. They haven't

00:51:50.960 taken care of her. If, I know, just let me speak. If we, if we would have just been allowed to care for her.

00:52:01.680 And that is usually a classic sign of an ostrich struggling and suffering and, uh, their end of

00:52:09.280 moments. So I just got confirmed or confirmation that Spirit is dead. Um, she died and probably

00:52:17.680 in extreme pain, dehydration and suffered. And now under the CFIA's care for about a week and this,

00:52:26.400 this hen's dying. It looks like they're not actually administering the electrolytes and doing all the

00:52:32.240 things they're supposed to and the farm is just torn up about it. Canadian Food Inspection Agency

00:52:39.600 you've been caught and I want you to know you've been caught on camera and this is on you.

00:52:48.160 See what happens when all the police drones are flying so low. Go away. The police drones are flying

00:52:55.200 so low. They're putting our birds through fences. You want the death of that bird? Our family

00:53:02.400 is on you. So we have video of you taking our bags of electrolytes that you were supposed to be

00:53:13.760 administering. You were supposed to be giving her for survival and for her health to help her heal, 0.93

00:53:22.080 to help her not suffer for her to have a chance just like we would have done. And you've been caught

00:53:30.400 on camera twice taking that bag of electrolytes and once going not even in the vicinity of where she was

00:53:41.360 walking behind a tree and dumping the electrolytes out.

00:53:47.680 Did you get that? This is huge. Katie has the evidence on the CFIA deliberately getting rid of 0.93

00:53:58.160 the electrolytes. This is beyond neglect. This is intimidation. This is intentional neglect.

00:54:08.640 This is intentional. Now we used to say in the military when somebody really screwed up we'd say

00:54:13.920 charge the bastard. That's exactly what should happen here. Somebody needs to be charged here. 0.99

00:54:18.800 Somebody needs to be charged.

00:54:20.960 You are absolute criminals and you will be held accountable for animal cruelty. 0.79

00:54:28.960 You are hiding behind police tape and badges. Fear of your accountability and fear that you will be exposed. 0.98

00:54:41.920 This is the first time you're going to be held accountable. You've operated with excessive freedom

00:54:48.000 and no accountability for 21 plus years under the stamping out policy and this is time. It is time

00:54:55.680 in Canada that we see this organization fall to its knees and we repair come up. We're going to build a

00:55:05.600 brand new incredible organization that is going to protect you. It's going to protect your animals.

00:55:12.560 It's going to protect your rights and this organization is not going to hide. It is going to be transparent.

00:55:19.840 It's going to be honest and it's going to be truthful and it's going

00:55:24.400 to be something that we can all be proud of. Shame on you Canadian Food Inspection Agency. You just ripped

00:55:32.720 one of our family members away from our family. You made her suffer.

00:55:42.160 So Katie's talking about rebuilding this organization, just bringing it down and rebuilding

00:55:48.000 something new. Something that actually does care for animals. That's really about inspection and not

00:55:53.360 execution. Right on, Katie. 1.00

00:56:01.360 Right on. And that's exactly what needs to happen to this organization.

00:56:06.320 And here, I want to, I want to go to my, to my X page here and to show you a couple things.

00:56:15.920 Because, you know, we've got, we've got time.

00:56:17.680 I still haven't ruled out. I still haven't ruled out going out there. I don't know, but we'll see.

00:56:24.240 But I'm hoping we have a freedom week here with good news for Chris and Tamara.

00:56:30.160 They're being sentenced on Tuesday. I'll be there in the courtroom.

00:56:33.840 I hope we have a political solution. When Mark Carney meets his good buddy, Donald Trump this week,

00:56:41.200 I hope Donald Trump has a word for him. And that's leave those birds alone. That's what I'm hoping to hear. 1.00

00:56:48.560 That's what I'm hoping to hear. And of course, this has been just, look at the Canadian Food

00:56:54.000 Inspection Agency. X site. Safeguarding food, animals and plants in Canada. What a crock of S-H-I-T that is. 0.97

00:57:05.760 So here it is. A rooster at Universal Ostrich Farmers was seen on video wobbling and then

00:57:10.560 falling to the ground. Word has it that the CFIA has been spraying the field around the kill pin

00:57:17.200 with a disinfectant called Prevail, which is not safe to be consumed by animals.

00:57:24.880 This is what these people, this execution squad is all about.

00:57:33.760 And as I mentioned, you know, on Tuesday, Tamara Leach and Chris Barber received their,

00:57:39.040 they could concede, it's possible if the Crown wins this, wins the day.

00:57:46.480 The Ontario Crown wants eight years for Chris, seven years for Tamara, eight years in jail for mischief,

00:57:54.800 for peacefully protesting.

00:57:58.000 The Canadian government has spent over three years and millions of dollars prosecuting

00:58:02.000 Tamara Leach and Chris Barber for mischief.

00:58:03.680 As they let drug dealers, rapists and other violent criminals out on bail within hours of being arrested.

00:58:10.880 This is what an authoritarian regime looks like.

00:58:13.440 Who bet it does.

00:58:15.520 You bet it does.

00:58:19.200 Thanks again, Drea Humphrey for the excellent reporting out there.

00:58:22.720 And there's Katie on the mic, you know, just, she has worked so hard on this story.

00:58:29.600 My heart goes out to her every day.

00:58:31.920 Universal Otters Farm calls for criminal charges for whoever is responsible for the death of their hen

00:58:37.680 that was neglected in the CFIA's care.

00:58:40.320 No more allegedly neglected.

00:58:42.320 No more apparently neglected.

00:58:44.640 The CFIA is about death for animals.

00:58:48.640 That's all it's about.

00:58:49.440 It is a bankrupt, vanquished government bureaucracy.

00:58:55.040 And it needs, it needs to be terminated.

00:59:03.440 And, yeah, here it is, yeah.

00:59:08.480 This is just sad, sad, sad, sad.

00:59:10.560 I am just so, I'm so fed up with what has gone on here now.

00:59:22.000 I've been on this story since early May.

00:59:23.680 I'll continue to be on this story this week.

00:59:26.400 And thank you for all of you who appreciate me being on this story.

00:59:31.040 Because I think it's, it is literally, I think it's one of the most important stories of the year.

00:59:40.320 And he's perhaps of the decade.

00:59:44.800 Because, you know, we talked to Jeff Rath for 45 minutes in the first part of this broadcast.

00:59:50.880 And Jeff Rath is saying, what does Canada have left for Alberta?

00:59:54.960 What does Canada have left for Canadians right now? 0.92

01:00:00.480 This is a, this is a government, as I said in my interview with Jeff Rath.

01:00:04.000 It's got four, three or four censorship bills in front of Parliament right now.

01:00:10.720 But there's nothing else they want to talk about except restricting free speech.

01:00:14.160 And kicking people off the internet for saying things they don't like.

01:00:18.240 What else is the Liberal government doing?

01:00:20.240 They have a big gun grab.

01:00:22.400 Not, no, not the criminals in Toronto and Montreal and Vancouver.

01:00:26.160 They want to take the guns away from the farmers in the prairies or in rural Ontario.

01:00:32.720 Yeah, even rural Quebec.

01:00:34.800 They want to take the guns away from farmers.

01:00:39.120 And why?

01:00:39.760 And as our public safety minister, I'm sorry if I get his name wrong, Ananda Sangra, I think.

01:00:46.000 If he admitted in a private conversation that the gun ban isn't going to work.

01:00:55.040 It's unworkable, but it's only going through because of votes in Quebec, as usual.

01:01:01.600 What a corrupt, what a revulsive government this is, revolting government this is.

01:01:12.080 But that's how Canada works these days, folks.

01:01:16.560 And I'm ashamed to say it's come to this because I remember a better Canada.

01:01:24.960 Even under Liberal governments, it was a better Canada than it is right now.

01:01:29.680 And I don't have the confidence that even a change of government is going to make the country

01:01:33.840 that much better or that much different because things have really gone downhill.

01:01:43.440 So I thank you for watching today.

01:01:45.200 Keep Katie and her family and those ostriches and that farm and your thoughts and your prayers 1.00

01:01:54.880 on this Sunday afternoon and this Sunday evening.

01:01:59.920 Send them your love and your concern.

01:02:05.360 And just let them know that you're on their side.

01:02:09.920 And we're going to win this.

01:02:11.840 We're going to win this fight with bureaucracy, with authoritarian government.

01:02:16.480 It might be a political solution.

01:02:21.760 Or it might be a judicial one.

01:02:23.280 The Supreme Court might come down in the next couple of days and say, hey, we're going to hear the case.

01:02:29.760 There's been so much bad publicity for the government, they might just decide it's worth hearing this case.

01:02:36.880 I'm hoping and praying that happens.

01:02:38.320 If that doesn't happen, I'm hoping and praying for a political solution.

01:02:43.360 And that might involve Donald Trump telling Mark Carney he needs to do something about this.

01:02:50.560 Because he ain't happy.

01:02:53.840 And it's too bad.

01:02:55.440 It's taken pressure from the United States government to potentially end this catastrophe.

01:03:02.880 To intervene.

01:03:05.920 Because our own government, our own politicians, in the aggregate, there have been some major exceptions,

01:03:12.800 like Scott Anderson, the member of parliament for the area that includes Edgewood, B.C., where Universal Ostrich Farms is located.

01:03:20.160 He's done a great job of liaising with the farm and supporting the cause.

01:03:25.620 Not so much from Pierre Paulio, who has been a little bit less than clear.

01:03:32.880 About what should happen here.

01:03:35.360 Yes, the liberal government's been incompetent.

01:03:37.920 But we need to say more than that.

01:03:39.700 We need to say that animals must be at least tested before anything else happens.

01:03:44.280 And this operation is called off.

01:03:47.920 We shut down the CFIA right now.

01:03:51.120 That's what needs to happen, folks.

01:03:53.520 Thank you for watching today.

01:03:55.520 I'll be back again at the usual time tomorrow.

01:03:57.920 Thank you for your patience in this broadcast today.

01:04:01.000 And I'll see you all at 10 o'clock on Monday.

01:04:04.440 And Tuesday, we'll be in court and we'll bring you the results as soon as we know them.

01:04:12.440 God bless you all.

01:04:14.600 God bless what's left of my country.

01:04:17.200 Godspeed to all of you.
