In this week's episode, the guys discuss the latest in the ongoing saga of the "$400 billion" deal between the Alberta Party and Dennis Modry, and the Canadian government. They also discuss whether or not the deal was actually a deal at all, and if it was done at all.
00:00:00.000uh one gentleman in particular uh charlie angus was out uh the other day there's a clip going
00:00:07.240around and we'll link that in our in our description but he specifically was mentioning
00:00:12.000some some fairly uh egregious accusations um at your group i'm wondering if you would speak to
00:00:18.360that and um and maybe respond a little bit to his claim the first thing charlie did was he said that
00:00:23.480he's not very happy with you know the fact that we're breaking up canada and i would like to
00:00:28.680wonder, as a lifelong NDP MP who spent his whole life trying to sabotage Alberta oil,
00:00:37.560how he could be angry with the fact that the people of Alberta are not happy with what's
00:00:41.320coming down from Ottawa. I find that totally hypocritical, and he's not understanding how0.70
00:00:47.800we could feel that way. And the rest of the thing is that these guys are talking about,
00:00:53.240Dennis Modry is saying that they were offered $500 million from some foreign entity, the Americans in this case.
00:01:00.280He has no proof of that because it never happened.
00:01:03.480The conversation that he's alluding to is actually, and I was in the room when Dennis Modry brought this up,
00:01:12.360He said $400 billion, not million, and it was for a line of credit alone to float Alberta in the chance that Alberta became independent so that the people wouldn't have to worry about money.0.52
00:01:27.160Now, I want to explain to you how silly this is.
00:01:30.840Dr. Dennis Modry, who is a retired cardiothoracic surgeon, if he was sitting across the table and he was asking for $400 billion,
00:01:43.840you would ask him, well, what gives you the right to think that you can negotiate for $400 billion first of all, and what do you have for security?
00:01:51.840Because if you've ever been in a bank, unless you have more security than a loan, they're not going to lend you any money.
00:01:57.840And the other part of it is that we could very easily do that in Canada, which I think would be the way to go with the assets that we have.
00:02:06.840So you know what? Yeah, they're looking to say, oh, and there's Russian interference.
00:02:12.840I've got to share something with you guys. The worst thing for them is exactly what we have.
00:02:19.840And they're trying to pin all this fundraising and stuff on one big entity that's going to give us $500 million.
00:02:26.840Well, what's really happening here is hundreds of thousands of Albertans
00:02:31.840are donating $20 to $50 to $70 to make this run.
00:02:36.840We're not beholden to any big group. We never took any money from Americans.
00:02:41.840Unfortunately for them, this is a big movement of people that feel very strongly
00:02:47.840about a free and independent Alberta. Like it or not, that's where we are.
00:02:52.840we are so the they can try to put us in jail i'm sure that's the point of this whole thing for0.73
00:02:59.800for treason but why are we not talking about the communist chinese and the involvement with0.59
00:03:05.160the liberal party and the you know i mean cisa said uh already that communist china is our biggest
00:03:11.000enemy and we have all this election interference going on in the trudeau era with 11 mps saying
00:03:16.360you know they were aided by the communist chinese that is legitimately treason and how come mr
00:03:22.760Angus's government that propped up the Liberals doesn't want an investigation into that.0.95
00:03:30.660And just one more point, too, that I'd say about that interview from Charlie Angus.
00:03:35.340He was asked very specifically about, I think that interviewer that was asking him questions
00:03:41.540was sort of maybe on our side or at least trying to stir something.
00:03:45.220Yeah, because he says, he asked Charlie, like, would you have said the same thing to the
00:03:51.340um, to the Quebec separatists in the nineties. Uh, and he said, well, you know, to, to Charlie
00:03:56.280said, well, to my knowledge, the, um, the party Quebec didn't, uh, didn't go to any foreign nations
00:04:01.060asking for funding or recognition or something. And actually that's literally exactly what they
00:04:05.280did to the French. They asked for funding and recognition from the French, or at least a line0.93
00:04:09.200of credit and recognition from the French. So yeah, no, there is no difference. And, and none
00:04:13.720of that is, is a classifiable. Yeah, but there is one big difference, the FLQ.
00:04:21.540There is one big difference there, the FLQ.
00:04:24.540And back in those days when they declared a national emergency based on what they were doing.
00:04:29.540And the funny thing is, if you look through that historically, our former Prime Minister Trudeau was actually involved with most of the people that were in the FLQ.
00:04:40.540So, you know what, that makes that even more interesting.
00:04:43.540And if you go back and look at the history of it, there's very direct lines between all of these people and the former Prime Minister Trudeau.
00:04:52.340But the whole thing is that we're trying to do this absolutely within the rules, within the law, and we are. We absolutely are.
00:04:59.840So as a consequence to that, they have a problem with that, I'm sure. So we're going to continue to do that.
00:05:05.900We've been trying to find a place to have a rally for a month.
00:05:11.500There's nobody letting us go do anything anywhere.
00:05:15.900They're giving us, oh, six, eight months to a year before you can do this.
00:05:29.340We tried to organize a street parade, but they're telling us that you need a permit to do it,
00:05:33.460it's going to be a year down the road basically before you can get a permit uh so so now we're
00:05:37.860we're we're still looking for options so keep the faith uh you know maybe we'll just have to march
00:05:43.300around bonnieville uh so we'll get 100 000 people to send on bonnieville we'll go around loose lake
00:05:50.580yeah exactly 100 so yeah so that's kind of where we are with all of that so you know what we're
00:05:57.460we're working hard to make sure everything's done but just to further the unified message point
00:06:01.700When we were SFA and we were the proponent of the question, we were running the whole thing.
00:06:08.700It was easy to do, because there was only one proponent, and we were dealing with one question, and we were all focused on doing one thing.
00:06:17.700We knew that the minute these TPAs came into play that we would not necessarily lose control of it,
00:06:24.700but the whole thing was that there was going to be a whole bunch of people with a whole bunch of different messages out there.
00:06:30.700Truthfully, you can't collude with them. If you're a member of a third party, you can't collude with another third party. Those are the rules.
00:06:39.700The rules are definitely there so that we can't win. Just understand that. Those third party rules are ridiculous.
00:06:46.700The government has no rules. They're using our money to campaign against us, and we've got to raise $5,000 per person at max and put them all in place.
00:06:58.700If you're not a third party, you cannot have an opinion about which side of this you stand on.
00:07:04.700If you spend $1,000, then you have to become a third party.
00:07:07.700But what I'm going to say to everybody out there is that for an individual, that $1,000 is a lot of money to spend.
00:07:15.700Keep track of your receipts. If anybody says you can't do this, you can't support one side of this,
00:07:21.700or you can't support our side of it is who I'm most concerned about, just keep track of your receipts.
00:07:26.700And until you're over $1,000, you can say whatever the heck you want.
00:07:52.300yeah the third party advertising rules get they get complicated because i know that they could
00:07:59.260be weaponized at any time even like weekly reporting and what if you miss something and
00:08:05.140one little detail and now you're slapped with administration fines and that's one thing if
00:08:11.060you're a massive political party and like what's a five thousand dollar fine what about a smaller
00:08:16.280creator what about people like that five grand could could ruin somebody um if they are attempting
00:08:23.600so even this just this notion that this is all foreign funded is hilarious we we actually
00:08:29.240discovered that we we got a hit piece against us it was actually it was in january and it was the
00:08:35.280prairies exposed people and they did a hit piece and they said we were part of a shadowy network
00:08:40.740of foreign funded um propaganda which is funny we're just driving to these events and like we're
00:08:48.020bringing our own gear and we're filming and like we're editing we just happen to have some skills
00:08:52.580like we're volunteering our time just like hundreds of and thousands of other people that are just
00:08:58.900they they see value in advocating for change which means you don't need to be paid to do that
00:09:06.980If it's an important goal, like this idea that there's no other, there's no other explanation than foreign funding assumes that nobody would advocate or nobody would be pushed to a point that they would actually stand up and volunteer their time in a manner like this.
00:09:26.860So it's, I find it hilarious, but it doesn't really match reality at this point.
00:10:13.960They're using the same playbook all over the place.
00:10:16.780I was talking to a gentleman from New Zealand today, and he says they're doing the same thing there as here,
00:10:20.460except they're further down the road than we are.
00:10:22.340So what we're saying is that, you know, we're not in control.
00:10:25.800If there is foreign people helping us online, I don't know anything about it,0.97
00:10:30.260and i'm basically technically illiterate so i couldn't do it myself so as and we're not0.91
00:10:36.420definitely not paying anybody to do it because we don't have that kind of money so uh they're on
00:10:40.980their own yeah it's a um like james says i mean it's a it's it's a uh it's an admission that they
00:10:49.620they could never see themselves doing anything on mere principle they'd have to be paid for it
00:10:54.660But also it's a, it's a, um, well, I think it's a cope. I think it's just a pure coping mechanism to not have to contend with the very real arguments and the very, like, I mean, I still have yet to hear, I mean, everyone in this movement says it all the time. Show us an argument, like, give us a reason to stay, give us a real plan, give us something that makes sense and that we can actually, you know, run the numbers on and be like, oh yeah, you know what? We never thought of that. You're right.
00:11:22.540But they won't do that. They'll just demonize. They'll just throw, you know, fake polls at the wall. And I mean, it really is telling that they truly have nothing to contend with the very real concerns and the hard numbers that we've presented them.0.80
