00:00:00.000 I'm going to do my best Prime Minister Mark Carney impression in just a second here.
00:00:05.940 No pipelines for you.
00:00:08.480 No pipelines for you.
00:00:10.540 That's as good as it's ever going to get.
00:00:12.860 But yeah, Mark Carney has basically said there is not going to be any pipelines under his government
00:00:18.600 because they are doing what I was predicting they were going to do,
00:00:22.860 and they are outsourcing saying no to some other body.
00:00:26.940 Instead of just saying that they don't want to build pipelines,
00:00:30.420 they're going to say, well, the private sector doesn't want to build pipelines.
00:00:34.140 Yes, we've completely crippled the industry and made it not economically viable
00:00:38.140 in order to build a pipeline under the current conditions.
00:00:41.860 But, you know, that's the free market's fault.
00:00:45.000 They were the ones who failed, not us crippling them and demanding that they run anyways.
00:00:50.180 This is maddening because you will see people say,
00:00:53.960 well, see, we told you just the private sector doesn't want to invest.
00:00:57.500 Carney's saying yes.
00:00:58.680 Bob Canoe's saying yes.
00:01:00.060 David Eby's saying yes.
00:01:01.380 But it's the private sector saying no.
00:01:03.980 No, they are not saying no.
00:01:05.920 The private sector wants to build pipelines.
00:01:08.700 They want to develop more oil and gas.
00:01:10.940 But what we have in this country right now is the tanker ban and Bill C-69,
00:01:18.400 which can run oil and gas companies through the ringer if they want to start any new projects,
00:01:24.200 which means that you will never get anything actually done because of all of the regulations,
00:01:29.820 because of all the legal challenges,
00:01:31.860 and having the government suddenly cut off the project of nowhere because an indigenous ban doesn't want it,
00:01:37.200 even though they should have zero say over whether or not a pipeline is going from Alberta to the West Coast or to the East Coast.
00:01:46.440 But anyways, I'm a little frustrated in this video.
00:01:48.900 You can tell.
00:01:50.420 We're going to get into it in just a second, guys,
00:01:52.540 and I'm going to go over like the CBC article on it
00:01:54.700 and some interesting clips of things that Mark Carney is saying both today and in the past.
00:01:59.880 But before we get into it, I just want to mention, guys,
00:02:02.440 if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on the video.
00:02:04.740 Also, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber so we can hit 100,000 by mid-December of this year
00:02:10.160 and leave a comment on what you think about all of this.
00:02:13.860 Also, if you live in the city of Calgary, I just want to reiterate my support for Sonia Sharp for mayor.
00:02:20.280 If you live in the city of Calgary and you want the most viable conservative candidate to get in,
00:02:25.740 make sure you get a lawn sign for Sonia Sharp.
00:02:28.060 I have them linked in the description below.
00:02:29.980 She actually just did a great announcement today saying she is going to shut down the Sheldon Schumer safe injection site 0.82
00:02:37.340 because it is just a repository for crime and addiction.
00:02:42.400 So she's been doing a very good job on crime and addiction stuff,
00:02:45.680 and she's also the only one actually wanting to cut stupid spending. 1.00
00:02:49.460 So anyways, without further ado, let's get back to the story at hand, which is no pipelines for you.
00:02:56.080 So in the CBC headline, they immediately just start kind of taking what the government's doing at face value,
00:03:02.660 which is kind of annoying, but we'll read through it.
00:03:04.860 This headline says,
00:03:06.480 No oil pipeline on the list of projects of national interest.
00:03:10.900 Subhead says,
00:03:11.780 Private company has not raised a hand so far to develop such a project.
00:03:15.700 And the article states right at the beginning,
00:03:18.700 As Prime Minister Mark Carney's government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected,
00:03:25.420 Radio Canada has learned that no pipeline is on the list, according to three sources.
00:03:30.820 Quote,
00:03:31.300 There is no oil pipeline project on the table, unquote, one of them said,
00:03:36.340 despite the federal government promising to make Canada, unquote, energy superpower, unquote.
00:03:41.040 Quote,
00:03:41.560 Well, they mean that in the sense that we're going to have a bunch of worthless solar panels and wind farms around that have to be heavily subsidized by the government.
00:03:49.940 Carney has never ruled out the idea of supporting the construction of a new pipeline.
00:03:54.340 Quote,
00:03:54.600 We have to choose a few major projects, not necessarily pipelines, but maybe pipelines we'll see, unquote.
00:04:01.140 He said on the French language TV show,
00:04:03.480 Tout le monde en parle, during the election campaign.
00:04:06.780 I mean, this is just obnoxious to me.
00:04:09.640 It goes on to basically just say that, like, and rightfully so, it quotes, it quotes Danielle Smith, saying that, of course, you're not going to get private investment.
00:04:19.420 At the same time, you have industry killing regulations in place.
00:04:23.040 This hasn't skipped anyone's notice.
00:04:25.680 It's almost trite to point it out at this point, that you need to get rid of Bill C-48 and Bill C-69 if you actually want any of this stuff to get done.
00:04:34.540 And that's what Pierre Polyev has been saying.
00:04:37.420 That's what every conservative has been saying.
00:04:39.500 You even get non-conservatives saying that, yeah, you kind of got to get rid of these things.
00:04:43.480 Like, you have former liberal MP Wayne Long saying, yeah, the government messed up on energy because it made it so that it's, you just can't invest.
00:04:51.120 There's just no chance that it's going to be a better area to invest in than heading down to Texas or heading to another country with oil and gas.
00:04:58.180 But now I want to jump to something that was going on today, which was the liberal caucus speech that Mark Carney just gave.
00:05:10.100 And in it, he's just talking about how, you know, we're getting all this stuff done.
00:05:14.400 And he knew the controversy that was already out in the media when he was saying these things.
00:05:19.040 He could have reassured people that, no, no, no, right around the corner, we may put out a pipeline.
00:05:24.060 But no, he doesn't say it because it's just not a priority for him or that politics is like hockey.
00:05:30.200 It doesn't build character.
00:05:32.500 It reveals it.
00:05:34.400 OK, and the character of our government will be revealed by our focus and our delivery.
00:05:42.420 Well, apparently not on a pipeline or at least they have revealed themselves when it comes to pipelines.
00:05:49.040 Our focus on our delivery.
00:05:50.300 We're all here to get big things done for Canadians at a scale and a pace that hasn't happened for generations.
00:05:58.840 And that means, well, a lot has happened since January, since we saw each other at Laurier Heights.
00:06:06.760 The change is only just beginning.
00:06:10.080 The change is only just beginning.
00:06:12.080 The spring session of parliament was all about action.
00:06:15.460 The swearing in of our cabinet was among the fastest following election ever.
00:06:21.760 The beginning of the new parliament was the most rapid in Canadian history.
00:06:25.740 We did not waste time.
00:06:27.740 Remember, we didn't waste time.
00:06:29.640 That's why we had a two week session in which we passed a purely symbolic bill that actually doesn't change anything because they can already fast track projects for through regulations.
00:06:39.340 That's just a power of cabinet in general.
00:06:42.380 And then they won a vacation.
00:06:43.880 And then he went and rubbed Doug Ford's feet at his at his cottage on the lake.
00:06:50.240 Like what?
00:06:51.680 We're at a breakneck pace.
00:06:53.680 We we made our we formed our cabinet in record time.
00:06:57.480 Like, yeah, it's like the fourth term of the government.
00:07:00.400 Obviously, it was going to be pretty fast on choosing who was going to sit where.
00:07:03.980 On day one, day one, our government canceled the consumer carbon tax because it was divisive.
00:07:10.240 We brought down the price of gas for all Canadians.
00:07:12.940 And again, I love how he'll never actually say it was a bad policy was divisive.
00:07:16.920 It was a divisive policy.
00:07:18.040 People just didn't like it or it was just a bad policy.
00:07:21.860 You know, I'd have more trust in Carney getting anything done.
00:07:24.820 That's good if he could actually put his finger on why specific policies were bad.
00:07:30.380 In fact, how about we just cut away from this because this is just tablum.
00:07:34.640 I just wanted to highlight the fact that the man is just still talking in slogans.
00:07:39.180 Again, the pipeline controversy was already out there for hours by the time he delivered that speech.
00:07:44.640 He could voice pivoted and said, I know there are people out there who don't like that.
00:07:47.920 We don't have a pipeline approved, but we're going to get to it in the next six months.
00:07:51.500 We want to work with private companies in order to get rid of these regulations so that they feel comfortable to invest.
00:07:56.820 No such thing was stated.
00:07:58.680 And in fact, they will not get rid of these bills, probably just because the conservatives want them to do it.
00:08:03.840 And the liberals have actually had to retreat on so many issues so far.
00:08:07.580 I think they are now like unwilling to admit to being wrong on anything else at this point.
00:08:12.480 But let's jump back in time to 2013 with an old federal version of Brian Jean, who had fantastic hair, by the way.
00:08:23.340 Honestly, he still has good hair.
00:08:24.560 But Alberta's current energy minister and then I believe energy, was he still the energy minister back then?
00:08:31.500 Regardless, they're in a standing committee on finance.
00:08:34.200 And he was talking and he was asking questions to the 2013 version of Mark Carney.
00:08:41.420 And Mark Carney states in this answer that he believes that Canada needs better energy infrastructure to get more investment, you know, like pipelines.
00:08:49.640 So this is and we have highlighted this issue again in this report, as you would have seen.
00:08:54.120 This is ultimately an issue of pipeline and refining capacity.
00:08:57.760 It is not our view.
00:08:58.660 It is not our view that this is an issue of deficient U.S. demand.
00:09:03.140 We do not.
00:09:03.860 We see the possibility of American, quote, energy security in a few decades.
00:09:09.780 But that's in a North American context that includes a substantial increase in exports of Canadian crude to the U.S. market.
00:09:17.640 Obviously, there is an advantage to having as many options as many customers as possible and multiple options from an infrastructure perspective that can be supported by the.
00:09:29.680 So if I can summarize what you're suggesting is the only thing we can do and the best thing, if we use your 2020 vision, as you suggested to Mr. Bryson, is to concentrate on pipeline capacity and refining capacity.
00:09:42.020 Is that fair to say?
00:09:42.640 This is this is an infrastructure issue.
00:09:44.660 Yes.
00:09:45.280 And I agree.
00:09:46.540 We should be getting we should be getting pipelines built in order to expand our capacity to supply oil and gas products, not just to the United States, but to Europe as well.
00:09:56.200 But the government's not interested in that, which is why we're not expanding LNG capacity for us to be able to export to the to Europe very well.
00:10:04.840 And our, you know, no pipeline.
00:10:07.680 But we're just going to pretend like, oh, this is just completely out of our hands there.
00:10:11.520 You know, there's policy and there's details and it's all just complicated.
00:10:16.300 I just want to cut to one commentator speaking on this issue this morning, who is actually a former professor of mine, Dwayne Bratt, who is on CTV News.
00:10:25.020 He's also, for some reason, been going on about the whole Daniel Smith book ban.
00:10:28.500 I never understand how people with PhDs are willing to just parrot the dumbest talking points about how, like, oh, Daniel Smith is banning books.
00:10:36.160 No, she's banning explicit materials from elementary, middle school and high school libraries.
00:10:43.300 Yes, some written explicit content can be in high school libraries.
00:10:46.720 That's things that take place in, like, The Handmaid's Tale and whatnot.
00:10:50.780 But goodness, everyone was acting so obtuse on that issue.
00:10:54.080 But I find it interesting what he says here about the idea, well, the government could always still do a pipeline.
00:10:59.720 It's like, no, it was obviously the thing that they had to deliver now or they were going to lose a lot of credibility.
00:11:05.060 Let's talk about the relationship between the federal government and the province of Alberta right now.
00:11:11.740 We know Kearney's going to be meeting with Smith.
00:11:14.060 What do you think they'll talk about?
00:11:15.500 What are Smith's priorities?
00:11:17.480 Oh, I think the stuff that's going to come up is the pipeline.
00:11:21.160 And we're hearing that that is not in the first wave of projects coming out of the major project office.
00:11:28.440 And the Kearney government will say, look, there's no private developer.
00:11:33.100 There is no project.
00:11:34.640 How can we approve something that doesn't exist?
00:11:38.440 And I am sure that Daniel Smith's rebuttal is going to be these nine laws.
00:11:44.320 You need to change those laws, like the tanker ban off the northwest coast of B.C., like the emissions cap, like the EV mandate.
00:11:52.780 And if you don't change those, you're not going to get a developer to come forward.
00:11:57.260 So I think there's going to be a bit of crosstalk between the two on this initiative.
00:12:04.740 But Kearney has raised expectations that eventually there will be a pipeline approved.
00:12:10.500 He put a pipeline executive, Don Farrell, in charge.
00:12:14.040 He put the project in Calgary.
00:12:16.660 That's raising expectations in the Alberta government about what is going to happen.
00:12:21.280 Dwayne Bratt, he's a political analyst with Mount Royal University.
00:12:24.540 I would just disagree with the idea.
00:12:26.280 Well, not really the idea.
00:12:27.960 I do agree with him that they've raised expectations, but that Don Farrell was ever a good sign.
00:12:33.280 I think it was like the Western Standard who did a whole expose on who Don Farrell was.
00:12:38.560 It's someone who was actually put in charge back in when the Alberta NDP were in government in Alberta in phasing out coal.
00:12:45.760 So I don't think the person who is very much indicated that they're on the green side of energy issues is going to be the person approving pipelines or who's going to be reasonable at all.
00:12:56.280 But, yeah, generally speaking, I think I made it sound like I disagreed with Dwayne Moore when that clip started, but I think I read a quote.
00:13:03.200 But, yeah, no, generally, yeah, this is all Mark Carney's.
00:13:06.100 This is all an issue of Mark Carney's own making.
00:13:09.560 He was the one who indicated that he was going to do this, and now he's not doing it.
00:13:13.780 And regardless of what he indicated, he should be doing it.
00:13:16.360 And I just want to now talk about this other journalist who has been trying to naysay conservatives on this.
00:13:24.440 So Brian Lilly was just commenting on this individual, Norman Spector, talking about how there's not going to be a pipeline.
00:13:31.560 And Brian Lilly says, this will be hugely detrimental to national unity.
00:13:35.580 I really don't think people in Eastern and Central Canada understand what is happening in the West.
00:13:42.580 And David Musgrove says, then the free market should step up and fund a pipeline.
00:13:48.140 If not too bad, that's capitalism, baby.
00:13:51.340 And this other person called him out for his just completely obtuse opinion.
00:13:56.480 And I just want to read another quote here from David Musgrove because I find it obnoxious.
00:14:00.980 David Musgrove says, what does it tell you that private companies don't want to build a pipeline?
00:14:06.120 It tells me they don't see a reasonable rate of return in the long run.
00:14:09.660 Sorry, it's just business.
00:14:10.820 The free market can get it can be tough.
00:14:13.020 Alas, as conservatives say, the market knows best.
00:14:16.400 Yet somehow there is green energy projects being started all across Canada that only exist on subsidies.
00:14:24.980 They only exist on massive subsidies and massive tax breaks.
00:14:30.020 And yet we're going to blame the private sector for not building a pipeline when there are massive negatives to trying to start a pipeline through regulations and taxes.
00:14:38.720 Like we have an emissions cap, which is effectively a production cap.
00:14:43.340 And we're just going to say here, like, oh, my goodness, private sector failed.
00:14:46.700 It didn't fail.
00:14:48.160 The government failed the private sector, not because the government didn't subsidize them.
00:14:53.120 Nobody's demanding a subsidy.
00:14:54.760 They want a regulatory landscape that is sensible.
00:14:58.980 If it doesn't exist, why would they say, OK, this project could go well or it could end up costing us double and then just get shut down at the very last second because the government is trying to play to the green crowd? 0.70
00:15:11.540 The government has screwed over, like, resource development companies in the past.
00:15:16.780 You remember the tech mine?
00:15:18.080 I believe that was canceled in 2019 or 2018.
00:15:21.300 It was effectively ready to go.
00:15:23.860 And then the government just said, nah, nah, it's not in line with our green agenda.
00:15:29.340 Oh, there's no there's no business case for it, even though it was ready to go.
00:15:32.540 So it's just so obnoxious when you have people just deliberately acting obtuse when it comes to when it comes to the differences between effectiveness in the oil and gas industry and the green energy industry.
00:15:46.480 I was watching on I believe it was Ben Mulroney show the other day.
00:15:50.800 They had on some conservative guy.
00:15:53.900 I think he was a former advisor, Stephen Harper.
00:15:56.080 And then they had Max Fawcett on from the National Observer.
00:15:59.180 And when the when it was reasonably pointed out by both Mulroney and the former advisor that nobody wants these EVs unless you give them massive tax breaks, that Max Fawcett said, well, that the government does need to be supporting the demand market.
00:16:16.140 They need to be supporting consumer demand if we're to get this industry off the ground, which means it's a fake industry.
00:16:23.460 It's not a real industry if people need to be paid money in order to buy the product.
00:16:27.260 If you have to compensate people a massive amount in order to manufacture or purchase something, then it's not a very viable industry, is it?
00:16:36.860 Whereas you never have to tell people to like the other to try and raise demand so that people buy new gas or diesel powered vehicles.
00:16:44.600 They want them and they purchase them on their own on their own initiative, even while there is actually a lot of subsidies to buying EVs.
00:16:53.600 But these people will never understand that they'll never seem to clue into the fact that they'll condemn the free market for not building pipelines when there is all these barriers.
00:17:02.300 But then they'll say, well, the government needs to give a leg up to the EV manufacturers into the EV dealerships.
00:17:09.400 But anyways, that should be it for this video, guys.
00:17:13.560 I think this is actually going to have a pretty significant impact on Mark Carney's polling in the next week or two,
00:17:20.180 because he's kind of already slapped at the former NDP voters who voted liberal in the last election with the Air Canada fiasco,
00:17:28.640 which, by the way, the proposed government deal has already fallen through and they look even dumber now.
00:17:33.500 And now they're slapping at the conservative turned liberal voters in the last election.
00:17:38.380 You get a lot older voters who are like, they were irrationally saying, Paulie was too much like Trump.
00:17:44.420 And so I'm voting liberal.
00:17:45.860 Well, the liberals still suck.
00:17:47.960 And I think a few of them are maybe going to clue into that.
00:17:50.720 And I think you're going to see a couple percentage points now head back towards conservatives from the liberals.
00:17:56.160 You've probably seen already three or four points go from liberal to NDP.
00:17:59.940 Now we're going to see a few points go from liberal to conservative.
00:18:04.260 But anyways, with that being said, again, if you live in Calgary, get yourself a Sonia Sharp sign.
00:18:10.040 You know, like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment.
00:18:13.000 And I will see you guys all next week.
