so this alberta next panel it was alberta sovereignty within a united canada in a way
00:00:08.620
this is kind of like a consensus finding slash they're kind of probing the public in a way
00:00:14.600
but it's hard to know like you only get a small sample it is something that the ucp could say
00:00:22.740
like well here's how we advocated for alberta sovereignty within within a united canada
00:00:28.600
here's what we did we had this kind of response in these different places here's all the different
00:00:34.700
thoughts we had and based on this this is how we're moving forward so what what could happen is
00:00:40.620
if all the things they're proposing to ottawa fall through and nothing happens they could say well
00:00:48.100
based on these alberta next panels this is how like maybe we're going to take a step further and maybe
00:00:53.780
they lean into alberta independence or it could go the other way and they just play this game of
00:01:01.840
we're going to have another letter and another panel and we're this is their way of trying to appease
00:01:07.300
alberta independent supporters they're kind of playing this like we're still we're solving it
00:01:14.260
from within i don't know what your thoughts are on that well you know you kind of said it in a way
00:01:20.440
that was interesting before we hit record where he said you know are you are they shooting down the
00:01:24.780
middle you know they got two targets and they're shooting down the middle of like well daniel smith
00:01:30.240
is an interesting one because the people who know her and the people like people who we've interviewed
00:01:34.040
like bruce party and you know um like marty up north you know guys who know her on a more personal
00:01:41.100
level kind of they're a little coy about it because they i don't know if they maybe want to say too much
00:01:46.140
but they get the idea that she's kind of like a true you know she's a true libertarian like
00:01:51.340
independent at heart and um she could just be playing the game right now but it's hard to know
00:01:57.220
it's hard to know because there's so many politicians you know in canadian history but in in just you know
00:02:03.520
in recent north american history really where there's such hope surrounding them and there's such like
00:02:08.660
oh man this guy's gonna really shake up the system or this this girl's gonna really shake up the
00:02:13.420
system and then they they get in you know to some position of influence and they just get so
00:02:18.920
mellow and so like comatose with their like what happened to all the fire you know so i don't know
00:02:26.320
i i i would like to think that yeah she's being cautious she's collecting data and then you know
00:02:32.960
when an actual referendum vote happens then she can point at this and say listen we did our due
00:02:37.880
diligence like you say we collected the information this is what we were hearing from albertans
00:02:42.380
and you know if if the federal government wants to say well that's not a it's not a convincing
00:02:47.840
enough majority or whatever they might want to try and throw our way if we get a uh if we do get a
00:02:53.840
uh convinced what we believe to be a convincing majority vote for independence then she can point
00:02:59.740
to all of this documentation of like here's the here's the video evidence of of what we had
