Well, first of all, in the Alberta Transition Council, you know, as Dennis noted, my co-lead, it's only one piece of the puzzle.
00:00:10.900
You know, we all know many people that have said, well, what's the monetary policy going to be?
00:00:16.240
What kind of trade agreements are you going to have?
00:00:18.140
How are you going to provide for continuity of air service?
00:00:22.540
and uh you know i'm a trade unionist am i still is my is my red seal uh certificate still going
00:00:29.400
to be recognized in saskatchewan or can i go on a shutdown in bc so we need to have all those
00:00:36.220
answers for those questions so that's the purpose of the alberta transition council
00:00:41.280
dennis and i have a joke when we summarize what the alberta transition
00:00:45.400
council's about it's about a bunch of old smart people just figuring out how to make it work
00:00:54.540
right no drama just very mechanical but there's an element that we have to reach that's interested
00:01:02.420
in that but let me give you an example the polling that Ezra Levant had recently had done
00:01:08.300
suggested that a lot of people who are on the fence actually didn't want those details that
00:01:14.500
completely threw me but then someone pointed out to me and it caused me to understand what they
00:01:19.260
meant so years ago FedEx did a new ad campaign on television where their commercial showed your
00:01:27.500
package being dropped off at a FedEx store following it on the truck to a sort center on
00:01:33.100
conveyors up a thing and 15 guys handling it and then onto an airplane through another sort center
00:01:38.380
and blah blah blah you know and it's it's my mom's ashes i'm sending them to my brother you know and
00:01:45.500
it's like their sales dropped by 12 overnight so they abandoned the ad campaign and they replaced
00:01:52.780
it with an ad that said we'll get your parcel where it needs to be in 24 hours in other words
00:01:58.200
people don't necessarily want to know as dennis was discussing how the sausage is made on an issue
00:02:05.500
like this there are people that want to know that and you need to show them so the person who doesn't
00:02:11.940
want to know who wants to know if their package is going to get there in 24 hours trust the guy
00:02:16.940
who looked at the system said don't worry it's going to be okay so there's that part of it um
00:02:22.440
we have to use emotion too i can imagine many different types of ads and things that we can
00:02:29.080
do because the reality is Ottawa's causing hardship they're doing some bad stuff and
00:02:37.200
you know I don't see it as my role given that whatever that is to be the emotional person
00:02:46.660
I'm trying to show and have been for the last year that there's a this is a sensible proposition
00:02:53.480
there's a legal pathway and it makes a lot of sense but that i fully support we're gonna have
00:02:59.540
to use all the tools and it is an emotional thing you know our kids are being held back
00:03:07.440
it's real cost of living you know all the things i talk about so no we absolutely the different
00:03:13.560
groups will have to to tell the emotional story as well just i just want to refer we have a lady
1.00
00:03:40.960
we're just talking about, she's a little lady,
1.00
00:03:46.680
confident in what we're talking about, confident
00:03:48.580
and what we're advocating for because the fear will go away.
00:03:53.740
And to me, listening to a former premier of the province of Alberta
00:04:05.320
He was governing the province and now the only response he has
00:04:13.280
We should be able to laugh at that, confidently laugh at that.
00:04:18.580
And this is for people that don't want to know how the sausage is made.
00:04:24.000
How I've explained it to a few people is we have kind of incompetent government now with Ottawa
00:04:32.040
and we could have possibly incompetent government in Alberta or better government in Alberta.
