00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.220It's pretty obvious that Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to now kill his own pipeline
00:00:12.020agreement in response to 14 Liberal MPs signing a letter saying that they oppose the agreement.
00:00:19.260Carney probably moved too fast inside his own caucus without letting people know what his plan
00:00:24.860was, because the funny thing about this whole situation is Mark Carney clearly doesn't actually
00:00:30.760want to build a pipeline. If you follow the agreement that he signed with Danielle Smith,
00:00:35.820there are so many stipulations in it, and he hasn't gotten rid of things like Bill C-69 and
00:00:41.240Bill C-48. It's obvious there was never supposed to be a pipeline resulting from the agreement,
00:00:47.880at least from the Liberal side. I believe Danielle Smith believes in the agreement,
00:00:52.320But Mark Carney doesn't actually want the pipeline to get done, but now he's having to preemptively kill the agreement way sooner than he thought because the 14 liberals can't even stand there being a piece of paper that says that there might be a pipeline someday in the future.
00:01:08.080And now the excuse that Mark Carney has settled on to justify the death of the pipeline in the near future is Alberta separatism.
00:01:17.880Even he is starting to open up on Danielle Smith in not as intensive a way, but in a similar way that British Columbia Premier David Eby went after her and claiming that she was threatening separatism to get her away.
00:01:32.700Anyways, I have to take you to these clips from a news conference in just a second here,
00:01:36.960but I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on the video,

00:01:51.900It makes the channel way more sustainable for me.
00:01:55.020But this is a press conference that happened this morning where Carney was asked about
00:01:59.940the question on separatism on the ballot and he starts talking about immediately pivoting the
00:02:05.740conversation to how bad this is for investor confidence and and money would all flee Alberta
00:02:11.420uh what do I think of the question uh in terms of the specifics of the question we have an
00:02:16.940obligation as the federal government uh to look at the question and determine whether it's consistent
00:02:22.180with the clarity act that that is uh underway uh ultimately uh if there are questions around that
00:02:29.240questions about the clarity of the of the question if you follow uh that would be a role for parliament
00:02:34.920i'm not saying that's the case but i'm just we're just in the process of doing our due diligence
00:02:40.440i will say i will make the following observation though about the question and it's
00:02:44.360this is an observation from experience um in these separation issues it is often advanced
00:02:52.840that vote for this and it's a free option vote for this and we will strengthen your
00:02:57.720our hand in a future negotiation that is a very dangerous bluff that is a very dangerous bluff
00:03:03.560you saw i saw firsthand what happened in the united kingdom when the view was vote for this
00:03:09.000it'll be soft and then we'll negotiate etc and they end up and they're still 10 years later
00:03:13.640trying to undo what people didn't think they were voting for but what they ended up having uh
00:03:20.840You know what? You can understand what I mean by what he's doing there.
00:03:27.460That why did him being asked about what he thought about the question for the separatist referendum have to turn into, you know, that's a very dangerous bluff to make.
00:03:36.960And talking about how, like, investment and all these different things were such a failure in Brexit and whatnot.
00:03:43.180Because I'm going to get to some other clips here.
00:03:44.900I think it's going to become clear that what he's also trying to do is basically, again, set the path for why the separatist agenda is what is killing the pipeline.
00:03:58.600It's I mean, the premier has proposed this, the question and other questions with it.
00:04:04.500As I said earlier, Tom, we will look at we will discharge our responsibilities, look at consistency of the of the question about a question.
00:04:14.280if I can put it that way on separation our consistency of that with the
00:04:19.400clarity act so it is what it is it's there we have to discharge our
00:04:22.920responsibilities as I said the premier doesn't always take my advice and but I
00:04:31.020but I can I finish my little jab right there the premier doesn't always take my
00:04:36.060advice acting as if like basically Daniel Smith is cowboying out on this
00:04:40.800one again it's going to be slow it's going to be subtle at first but he is going on the path of
00:04:46.520saying oh my goodness i want to build a pipeline then danielle smith that did this and i can't
00:04:52.140negotiate with someone threatening to separate even though that's completely untrue he's putting0.98
00:04:57.460on the ballot because i had enough petition signatures and when the courts shut it down
00:05:01.480it was her democratic duty to make sure that some version of the question still made it onto the
00:05:06.640ballot uh please um look is it helpful to uh ask these fundamental questions no it's not helpful
00:05:12.520of course it's not it's not helpful to ask these questions it's democratic to ask these questions
00:05:18.320oh daniel smith's not being helpful right now she should be shutting down democracy in her own
00:05:23.260province if she wants a pipeline uh is it uh is it the um democratic will of uh uh albertans did
00:05:31.280they vote for this in the last provincial election no they didn't it wasn't on the uh wasn't on the0.98
00:05:35.260ballot paper yeah because idiot there was a citizen's petition it is something that leapfrogs0.98
00:05:41.800an issue onto like basically the issues of the day it basically gives it forces the government0.99
00:05:49.360to make this a topic to debate you can't say well they didn't vote for this last provincial election
00:05:54.320it's like okay yes they didn't but 700,000 people signed two separate petitions on this issue
00:06:02.160So now there is a referendum question about it.
00:06:05.140Oftentimes, a government can use, and Daniel Smith is doing this on other referendum questions.
00:06:10.220She has other referendum questions about immigration and other topics, basically to give herself license to do things on those files if a vote comes back and, you know, Albertans agree that Alberta should take more control over immigration.
00:06:24.820She has given herself the license to now touch that issue, whereas then people couldn't say, hey, you never ran on that.
00:06:30.420I'm like, I didn't. I put a vote to people and they voted for me to do something about it.
00:06:34.860So I'm doing something about it now. But he's trying to go back to 2023 and be like, oh, my goodness, you didn't run on this.
00:06:40.800Like, yeah. Yeah, it was part of the citizens petition, idiot.1.00
00:06:44.100What, he's been watching too much David Cochran and doesn't understand the concept.1.00
00:06:48.640Albertans, did they vote for this in the last provincial election? No, they didn't.
00:07:08.500I'll repeat, the core approach here and reality is positive.
00:07:17.720There's tremendous strengths that Canada brings to Alberta, and Alberta brings
00:07:21.780to canada uh we are absolutely stronger together we're better together we're better people we're
00:07:27.220wealthier uh together um you know my uh my colleague corey hogan points out rightly
00:07:32.740uh that median wealth in canada is 23 higher than the united states it's not something people would
00:07:38.100think no if they don't think that because it's not true it's not true sorry when we make like what
00:07:44.740is it we make let alp canada's average income or median income is lower than alabama which is in
00:07:52.260the lower half of american states when it comes to income no we're not 23 higher in terms of median
00:08:00.180wealth than the americans that's patently insane but why is that the case it's because we take care
00:08:06.500of each other because we focus on things like affordability because the people who live here
00:08:11.620will um will get uh child care uh the people who live here will get health care people live yeah
00:08:17.700guys we have 23 percent more median wealth will be or whatever our wealth is 23 higher because
00:08:23.860we have government programs i guess oh who do you think is paying for it all the people who are
00:08:28.260broke dude here will get high quality education uh for their kids uh they're uh if they're retiring
00:08:34.980here uh they'll get oas and gis because canadians take care of each other it's not perfect can it
00:08:42.260get better do we need to continue to work together as provinces and federal governments absolutely
00:08:47.460are we making progress the alberta accord is one of many examples you'll see many many more what
00:08:53.700uh what minister roberts yeah so that went absolutely nowhere at the end but again the
00:08:59.700The whole point is just to he makes a terrible case for Canada, by the way, like goodness, the separatists should just use clips of Mark Carney talking and it will increase the amount of people who votes for separatism because it's just he's just so dismissive in claiming that, oh, no, we're actually wealthier than the United States.
00:09:17.080Oh, no, we're actually doing great on affordability. Oh, I know, you know, there's some problems, but overall, we work together.
00:09:22.980It's like, no, you don't. Alberta keeps getting kicked in the face for no reason.0.54
00:09:25.840But now I want to get you to specifically a question about the pipeline, because a reporter from the Globe and Mail asked a question about basically if Alberta broke the deal in some way, or this deal is basically imposing a $1.5 billion penalty on Alberta for not going along with the carbon tax scheme, even if no pipeline actually gets built,
00:09:53.380because there's no timeline for delivery.
00:09:57.220That agreement expressly says that to get out of the deal,
00:10:01.080Alberta simply or the federal government...
00:12:55.360It's like 34 million people in California.
00:12:57.700If California tried to pass that tax, you know that Donald Trump would throw Gavin Newsom into the river by his extremely blown out hair.
00:13:08.560He would toss him into a meat grinder if he tried to do a massive increase on taxes of all revenues of streaming services in California.1.00
00:13:18.020There would be a riot between the federal government and California state government, because that's stupid. You are hurting the economy for no reason, and it seems to be out of spite, because a 15% revenue tax, that's on top of their corporate taxes and all the other taxes that they're paying.0.96
00:13:36.720It's basically like they're basically just hoping that the American streaming companies are just pathetic enough that they're going to pay for it, thinking, well, we still make 1% profit, so I guess we'll stick around and just make the Americans basically pay for the streaming services for everybody else.
00:13:53.680Or your actual costs for paying for a streaming service is going to go up massively.
00:14:19.540Another day, another tax hike from Mark Carney and the Liberals.
00:14:23.120Now they're planning to make it more expensive for Canadians to use streaming services.
00:14:28.200Conservatives are calling on the Liberal government to scrap the Netflix tax hike
00:14:31.520so Canadians can afford to stream their favorite shows.
00:14:34.080And imagine that at the same time that Mark Carney was at a press conference talking about how he's helping make things more affordable for Canadians, which really is just him ripping off a bunch of money from the printing press and just throwing it at you.
00:14:48.400At the same time, he's making life more affordable.
00:14:50.940He's also going to make a thing that everyone owns, probably one or two streaming services at least.
00:14:56.940and you're going to pay at least 15% more on it
