00:15:20.020Technically speaking, the federal leader of the NDP, whether they have seven seats in the House of Commons, 2747, it doesn't matter, is the top of that power structure.
00:15:30.200He is technically the boss of all the NDP premiers and leaders of the opposition or leaders of NDP parties all across the country, provincially speaking.
00:15:42.060So, yeah, up until last night, Jagmeet Singh was the boss of Wab Kanu, the boss of David Eby in British Columbia.
00:15:49.960What's his name in Alberta there? The former mayor of Calgary. I forget his name.
00:15:54.180But, yeah, that's how the NDP works, whereas the conservative parties are unaffiliated.
00:16:00.200they have nothing to do with each other now that didn't stop doug ford the premier of ontario from
00:16:07.460trying to create the vision of division between conservative parties and this is jamil javani
00:16:18.040who won his uh is it oshawa was he did he win in oshawa last night so many seats around the gta
00:16:24.040it's hard to keep track but he won his seat last night and here he is being interviewed by some
00:16:29.220left-wing corporate media reporter and speaking out about what Doug Ford did during the election
00:16:33.720camp. Congratulations, first of all. Thank you very much. Yeah, we have a great team here in
00:16:37.260Bowmanville, Oshawa North. Very excited and happy to bring home a victory. I do want to ask you,
00:16:41.520Mr. Giovanni, because you've just spoken to your supporters, a large group that's here at the pub
00:16:45.280here in Bowmanville, North Oshawa, and you said to them, among other things, that Doug Ford was a
00:16:51.040problem for you in this campaign. You said that he sabotaged the Conservative campaign. That's
00:16:56.500your words you said he was a hype man for the liberals take me through how you how you see that
00:17:01.860yeah well look Doug Ford just went through an election I have differences of opinion with him
00:17:06.720I don't like how he's managed health care or education but out of respect we didn't say
00:17:11.280anything federal party we didn't get in his way when it was our turn to run an election he couldn't
00:17:15.520stay out of our business always getting his criticisms and all his opinions out distracting
00:17:20.280our campaign trying to make it about him trying to position himself as some kind of political genius
00:19:19.740was it last night that you texted me and asked how i was doing or was it this morning i can't
00:19:25.380remember this morning it was this morning i texted you a couple uh i think right before
00:19:30.200the election i'm like how how are you feeling this is we're on tinterhooks a little bit and
00:19:35.480you gave quite a response actually i did if i might share it uh let me find it you you said
00:19:42.360something like oh you said something dramatic oh god can i share it yeah go ahead i said
00:19:49.720on another note like we talked about something else and then i said on another note this election
00:19:54.700is a nail biter a and you said anita i'm terrified i'm trying to channel it if carney wins i'm
00:20:03.420getting out of canada yeah you know i've been on the phone with some people today about that very
00:20:09.860thing now getting out of canada might mean a move to alberta yeah i mean that's become a very hot
00:20:18.820topic just today jeff rath who is a calgary lawyer and part of the alberta prosperity project
00:20:25.920wrote a note today on his sub stack requiem for canada i'm going to get to that later on in the
00:20:32.200show what's your take on all of this what what's your take on what happened last night
00:20:36.380oh i i've shared this to my youtube and youtube doesn't like really when you say certain things
00:20:43.180But, oh gosh, I still have a hard time believing that the results are the results.
00:20:51.300And I think that how did this, I don't know, I feel like this, you know, I'm trying, I'm tripping over my words because there are certain words you're not allowed to say.
00:21:02.100But a lot of people sort of say there are no elections, there are only selections.
00:21:06.660so am i supposed to believe like i've said before that carney even though being a billionaire and
00:21:13.720and you know putting all his money in this blind trust and giving up the millions of dollars has
00:21:19.660given up everything and his life in europe to come here and go you know what canada needs me
00:21:24.980so i'm here for you canada and i'm gonna come here and rub elbows with mike myers and get my
00:21:31.640elbows up because i'm here to save you rub elbows you know like yeah he's gonna start doing deodorant
00:21:41.420commercials or something but it's like do we really believe that this guy that's making a
00:21:46.460kajillion dollars is like no i'm giving it all up because canada needs me i think that there are
00:21:53.600forces at play that kind of put him here and i think with the media backing him it really did
00:22:01.440veil a lot of people's opinions like podcasters like us we sort of I think you do more than me
00:22:06.680but dig deep we dig deep so we can talk we know all the funny business but do you think that
00:22:12.720regular people know the funny business you know that's difficult to say I don't know what the
00:22:20.000you see it's difficult when you do what we do to understand how the average person consumes their
00:22:27.800news right and where they consume it from uh and and how much they pay attention i mean i i do know
00:22:34.360just from studies from my years in media that when we're talking about print people generally
00:22:39.020will read the headline and maybe maybe the first paragraph and when it comes to news watching on tv
00:22:44.400whether it's cbc or any of the others i don't know if they watch any longer than five minutes just
00:22:49.580the top story of the day maybe then they get distracted or they turn on a hockey game or
00:22:53.580or whatever so i i don't know how that works uh you know what i do know is that this show has
00:23:01.420been growing i know that yours has been growing and and there's a lot of young youtubers out there
00:23:06.320who have gotten huge following so that's a good sign that people are yeah they're people people
00:23:12.260are starting to to wake up and see that there is stuff that the left-wing corporate media is not
00:23:17.740showing them but you know this whole elbows up thing i mean it seemed like it was mostly boomers
00:23:24.400and again you know there's a lot of boomers i'm a fringe boomer i'm like maybe a week away from
00:23:29.840being generation x so i'm kind of caught right in the middle of that but i know there's a lot
00:23:35.240of boomers who who watch this show and they're disappointed with other people in their generation
00:23:40.840i'm just wondering how they were so easily fooled and once they seem to have made up their minds
00:23:45.720you could not get them to think about anything else yeah I think so many factors went into it
00:23:52.420when I go to rallies or you know freedom rallies that I've been going to for years now I see a lot
00:23:57.940of boomers but there's also that big facet of society that that we're very afraid to say I mean
00:24:04.720like I work in a medical clinic in the daytime so I see the public and the public likes me the public
00:24:10.740probably a lot of the people don't i'm like batman like they don't know that i podcast
00:24:14.920on the side or who wouldn't like you come on i swear people come in and they tell me all about
00:24:23.120their lives and life stories and i make friends with people and then if i drop a little something
00:24:28.240about politics i'll talk to the ladies like ladies in their 70s and they'll go i don't like
00:24:33.700that polyev oh no he's bad news you know he's he's only for himself he's so arrogant and these
00:24:40.520are people that are just watching the news right and all these things that we sort of uncover the
00:24:46.220plagiarism the ruby dala the mess with the chandra aria the all the the brookfield the everything
00:24:52.800they have no idea about any of this stuff no because you know when you watch a two-minute
00:24:59.020piece that donna friesen is throwing to on global national it doesn't is never going to make palya
00:25:04.420look like a hero they are never going to be that balanced it's always even if they're sort of half
00:25:09.980doing a good job they sway to make Carney look good and particularly the CBC because they're
00:25:15.880getting a raise yeah they're going to be enshrined in law too from what Carney promised yeah right
00:25:22.780now they're just a line on on the budget every year but now Carney wants to enshrine them
00:25:30.360in law make them a statute that the CBC is by law Canada's broadcaster and must be funded to
00:25:37.840the tune of x amount of dollars every single year so now going forward if polyev does win one of
00:25:44.840these days um he's going to have to rescind that law and come up with a new one what do you think
00:25:51.880the chances are of this government going any longer than a year it is a minority going longer
00:25:59.100than a year meaning we'll have another election you think yes yes that because people will up
00:26:04.560rise up and be like no no well you know what the situation that we face is the same situation that
00:26:11.520we faced in the last three elections it's a liberal minority it's a strong minority it's
00:26:15.920three seats away from a majority government and even then you know if it became a majority
00:26:20.180one liberal dies or doesn't show up for uh for a vote and they go down um so you know what do you
00:26:29.400think this government will be able to do i mean there's seven ndp and one green who they're going
00:26:35.140to have to make a deal with if they do you know they're in i mean they might have another one of
00:26:39.660those supply and and confidence deals that they had with jagmeet singh but the ndp is rudderless
00:26:45.140right now they haven't got a leader and even their house leader peter julian lost last night so
00:26:49.920we don't know who's going to be running that show for the foreseeable future no we don't but they
00:26:55.100will pick somebody will do you think the NDP will carry on and the liberals need the NDP
00:27:01.820to to form a coalition to have that majority right and equally people have bandied about
00:27:07.780the idea of the bloc getting together with the conservatives do you foresee that
00:27:13.080I can see them voting together the bloc and the conservatives on issue by issue basis but I can
00:27:22.520And I can never see the Conservative Party of Canada ever, or any party for that matter, forming an actual alliance with the bloc.
00:27:32.640They want Quebec out of confederation.
00:27:34.480And, you know, any national party that, you know, signs an oath with them is signing their own death warrant, in my opinion.
00:27:41.820But then again, from what we saw last night, I mean, the East doesn't, like you say, low information turnout, people voting with their feelings.
00:28:12.280Like, the Bloc and the Conservatives might be more similar than they'd like to admit.
00:28:17.700But the bloc are so ridiculous with the pipelines and the oil and the gas and the, you know, having the pipelines have to, they don't let the pipelines go across Canada. You have to go through the states to get to Quebec. And it's like, do you not drive a car? Do you not have showers? You don't fly in planes, people in Quebec? You don't use gas stoves? You don't like what you what is your problem with oil and gas is so much that they export it from countries that we don't need to.
00:28:44.320That's a huge problem. And that goes against the conservative sort of philosophy on cultivating oil and gas. So I can't see the marriage happening there, but it sure would be nice if they could put aside their differences. But one other thing is, boy, do we ever pander to this separatist party? You know, like they're so small, but we sure do as a nation pander to their needs.
00:29:09.940and some people are so anti-French now too it's like why did we even bother doing these French
00:29:16.500debates and this and that boy do we ever this is essentially a separatist party they say Canada
00:29:22.680we don't like you like you know Tabernak we they want to separate yet we sure do embrace them in
00:29:30.480the political stratosphere you know I think Jordan Peterson is the one who said there's a huge
00:29:37.500disproportionate number of quebec ministers and mps in the house of commons maybe it's just
00:29:45.000ministers because most of those mps do come from quebec i think they got 40 of the 80 or 78 seats
00:29:51.840that quebec has last night and so yeah there is a large french contingent of mps in the house of
00:29:59.700commons and a large french contingent in any liberal government generally speaking of ministers
00:30:04.740The reason there isn't in conservative governments, if we ever get one again, is because they only get between 10 and 12 MPs elected in that province.
00:30:12.960So, you know, this country is so, you know, have you seen a map since last night's election?
00:58:19.980Jeff Rath, Alberta Prosperity Project.
00:58:25.160now i've got another one here for you guys from gordon kessler gordon kessler is an old school
00:58:31.020alberta separatist i suppose or sovereignist we can say gordon kessler let me throw this
00:58:36.740up on the screen here quickly so we can tell you who he is gordon kessler's stunning victory in
00:58:42.600the february 1982 by-election for the western canada concept received national media attention
00:58:48.520Kessler was the first separatist politician elected in Canada outside of Quebec since the 1870s,
00:58:56.080although his activities were primarily related to opposing official bilingualism and the introduction of the metric system.
00:59:03.820After the win, Kessler became leader of the party.
00:59:06.060He won the Olds Didsbury Electoral District, defeating Stephen Stiles of the PCs and Lloyd Quants of the Social Credit Party and three other candidates.
00:59:14.340He was in office for a very short time, but he has always remained a staunch Alberta
01:01:47.080But it was a threat to Ottawa, it was a threat to Peter Lougheed and his conservatives.
01:01:53.820And so I'm telling you this because unless you're willing to sacrifice in the coming
01:02:06.340days, you will not only be serfs, you'll be worse.
01:02:14.000Just remember, Mark Carney is one of the engineers of the philosophy that says you
01:02:22.760will own nothing and you will be happy and i promise you mark carney meant every word of it
01:02:37.400i believe every single word that he says
01:02:44.760guy's been around currently 80 years old one of the original alberta sovereignists
01:02:52.760Danielle Smith had a message on X this morning and then released something in a press conference later this afternoon we didn't think was coming until probably Friday.
01:03:02.640So I'm going to go through this real quick.
01:03:03.920And again, don't forget, you guys, all access Nighthawks at ShadowDavis.com, an incredibly special treat for us all tonight.
01:03:13.720I found something very cool we're going to watch.
01:03:19.400And that's coming up in about 10 minutes.
01:03:20.760So Daniel says this morning, I congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney on his minority, makes a point of saying minority government election victory last night.
01:03:29.600I also want to sincerely thank Pierre Polyev for his powerful and principled advocacy against the last decade's punitive taxation and anti-resource policies that have made our country weaker, more divided and overly dependent on the United States.
01:03:44.620Mr. Poliev's vision for a safer, more affordable, united, and prosperous Canada drove the policy
01:03:50.080debate in this country for the last several years and has inspired millions to see the
01:03:55.140unique potential of our nation. While liberals and New Democrats demeaned and demonized Albertans,
01:04:00.820our values and our industries for political gain, Mr. Poliev made empowering Albertans and
01:04:07.040our energy sector a cornerstone of his campaign. His respect and admiration for Albertans could
01:04:13.040not have been clearer. He is and continues to be a true friend of Alberta. As Premier, I invite the
01:04:21.220Prime Minister to immediately commence working with our government to reset the relationship
01:04:25.760between Ottawa and Alberta. With meaningful action rather than hollow rhetoric, a large majority of
01:04:32.960Albertans are deeply frustrated that the same government that overtly attacked our provincial
01:04:37.500economy, almost unabated for the past 10 years, has been returned to government.
01:04:44.440As Premier, I will not permit the status quo to continue. Albertans are proud Canadians that want
01:04:50.720this nation to be strong, prosperous, and united, but we will no longer tolerate having our industries
01:04:57.120threatened and our resources landlocked by Ottawa. In the weeks and months ahead, Albertans will have
01:05:03.500an opportunity to discuss our province's future, assess various options for strengthening and
01:05:08.520protecting our province against future hostile acts from Ottawa, and to ultimately choose a path
01:05:14.000forward. Wow. As Premier, I will facilitate and lead this discussion and process with the sincere
01:05:23.720hope of securing a prosperous future for our province within a united Canada, so he makes a
01:05:30.140point of saying that. That respects our province's constitutional rights, facilitates rather than
01:05:36.460blocks the development and export of our abundant resources, and treats us as a valued and respected
01:05:42.520partner within Confederation. Our government will be holding a special caucus meeting this Friday
01:05:48.620to discuss this matter further. I will have more to say after that meeting is concluded.
01:05:55.200So we expected to wait until Friday to hear what their plan was.
01:06:03.180But this was announced later on this afternoon.
01:06:06.420Alberta sets groundwork for referendum day after liberal election victory.
01:06:12.480The Citizen Initiative Act would see a standardized threshold of 10% of eligible voters signing a petition that could trigger a referendum.
01:06:23.020And here is Danielle Smith talking about just that.
01:06:25.620We are expanding opportunities for Albertans to be involved in direct democracy
01:06:29.680by making changes to the threshold needed for successful citizens' initiatives.
01:06:34.520The signature collection time for citizens' initiatives will be extended from 90 days to 120 days.
01:06:41.100We are also improving the process by setting the threshold to be 10% of the number of eligible voters
01:06:47.480who participated in the last general election as opposed to being either 10 or 20 percent of total
01:06:53.640registered voters so the western standard asked danielle smith about the timing of
01:07:04.600this announcement the day after a federal election and whether she's considering a sovereignty
01:07:09.320referendum we were going to introduce this legislation regardless of what the outcome
01:07:14.440of the election was, she said. To hold an independence referendum in Alberta currently,
01:07:21.420the process can be initiated through two primary mechanisms under existing legislation,
01:07:26.120the Referendum Act and the Citizen Initiative Act. A petition must collect signatures from
01:07:31.400approximately 600,000 eligible voters, about 20 percent of Alberta's eligible voters, based on
01:07:37.160the 2019 election turnout within a 90-day period. If passed, this new law will cut that number
01:07:43.860needed in half to 10 percent. And it also lengthens the period in which they can collect signatures
01:07:54.440from 90 to 120 days. Weeks before the federal election, Smith issued a series of demands for
01:08:01.900the next prime minister, warning that inattention to them could spark an unprecedented national
01:08:07.780unity crisis so this subject comes up once again and i'm certain that many liberal supporters in
01:08:15.980the laurentian elites out east are laughing that this will never pass the last poll we saw
01:08:23.180regarding western separation or alberta sovereignty had them sitting around 25 or 30
01:08:28.640apparently it was even higher in saskatchewan so what happens if this happens if alberta goes to
01:08:36.380a referendum, a massive marketing campaign for starters. And believe me when I tell you that
01:08:42.260even though there are many disparate groups who all believe in the same thing, making Alberta a
01:08:47.660sovereign nation, they do have disagreements on minor things. And I'm certainly hoping they all
01:08:52.300come together very soon and work those, work those differences out because that could be such a
01:08:58.060strong, strong movement inside of Alberta. But there are big money people involved in this
01:09:05.780movement my friends and they can't afford the best marketing professionals and the best advertising
01:09:12.200campaigns that money can buy billboards ads all over alberta for three months alberta sovereign
01:09:19.980they'll come up with a slogan i'm sure think about the advantages for you and your family and
01:09:26.500they'll probably list all of those 10 advantages that i was talking about earlier in the show
01:09:31.760tonight on billboards all across calgary edmonton red deer lethbridge medicine had all the
01:09:38.720the big and medium-sized cities and probably along the highways as well highway two highway one
01:09:45.500because they know that rural alberta will go along with this this is not about alberta joining the
01:09:55.500United States as a territory or as the 51st state, this is about Alberta becoming a sovereign
01:10:03.980entity unto itself. If it does, and Jeff Rath told me a couple of weeks ago that the plan is to have
01:10:14.840a referendum before Christmas, if they can get 50.1% and a great question that Jeff has already
01:10:24.060written for the ballot for the referendum referendum question then they can leave next
01:10:31.200thing negotiation with the federal government after they open the constitution
01:10:37.120so this process could take a while or it might be very quick and if alberta goes
01:10:46.520you can bet that within 12 to 18 months saskatchewan follows
01:10:52.440that is it oh hang on i've got one more thing i want to share with you guys before we
01:10:59.340go tonight on social media and again we're going to the extension for the nighthawks
01:11:03.960all access pass holders on shadow davis.com in just a few minutes let me throw this up here
01:11:08.500real quick i saw some questions in the comments earlier people were asking about the ppc what
01:11:14.240happened to the ppc well they only got 144 000 votes last night less than one percent of the
01:11:19.780popular vote. And even though we did hear some stories this morning about the PPC affecting
01:11:25.020the results in some areas, I think Brampton in particular, it didn't work out that way when it
01:11:32.320came to the final totals. But Maxime Bernier on X today says, many people may be wondering today,
01:11:38.900is there a future for the People's Party? The answer is yes, of course there is. In only six
01:11:46.740years, our presence has had a huge impact on Canadian politics, even though we have not yet
01:11:51.280elected any member of Parliament. We propose a unique mix of principles and policies that no
01:11:56.600other party offers. Six years ago, the PPC was the only party talking about the disastrous impact of
01:12:02.720mass immigration on our economy and society. Today, everybody knows we were right. The PPC was the
01:12:09.760only party that opposed lockdowns and vaccine mandates during the COVID years. The PPC is the
01:12:15.520only party that wants to protect our children against the crazy gender ideology the ppc is the
01:12:20.880only party that fights for our provincial autonomy and proposes a radical decentralization of the
01:12:26.520canadian federation the p well you get it maxime bernier says the ppc will continue whether he's
01:12:35.200right is anybody's guess don't know how long this new government this new minority government is
01:12:41.740going to last. You can bet that they'll be trying to form some kind of alliance with the NDP,
01:12:46.640and maybe the NDP, being so weak as they are right now, actually decide to fold their tent
01:12:51.660as a party and merge with the Liberals. And you know that they can always count on Elizabeth May's
