00:04:46.720let me ask you i mean when you hear a politician
00:04:53.440ostensibly agreeing with pretty much the principle of why alberta at least so many people in alberta
00:05:02.280want to make their own country and then to hear him say something like that like
00:05:06.900how does that make you feel is it just another oh i mean it doesn't it doesn't bother me i mean
00:05:12.940i laugh like i said it's like you know he's got full-blown aids i mean that's how we look at it
00:05:17.380i mean he's in denial he just that won't happen that won't happen that won't happen it's like
00:05:22.240okay pierre there's 7 000 canvassers currently door knocking in alberta and what we're getting
00:05:29.100what's being reported back from our 7 000 door knockers is that at the doors right now and this
00:05:35.680is this is a report i got yesterday from one of our people that was out banging on doors in
00:05:40.460denisville the other night okay one third of people right won't sign the petition because
00:05:46.920they've already signed the petition right one third of people at the door um sign the petition
00:05:53.840and there's only a third of the people at the door effectively that are opposed to alberta
00:05:58.980independence so we keep you know so we think that we're you know we're well beyond any polling there
00:06:04.520was a recent poll that came out um showed you know that uh rachel uh parker had put out um an
00:06:11.760ecos poll that showed that we were over 41 percent in the polls now but that poll that you need to
00:06:18.740keep in mind ecos right because they're kind of liberal affiliated they've sat on that poll since
00:06:24.480september so i can tell you that since the petition campaign has started the energy for
00:06:30.960independence in Alberta you know is through the roof but most of the other polls that I've seen
00:06:36.700and I'm not trying to poo-poo this believe me I'm on your side when it comes to this I think
00:06:40.400the only hope that Canada has is Alberta forming its own nation and I know how that sounds too it
00:06:47.660sounds stupid but I think it's the only hope that the people of this country have really and you
00:06:54.200know for those of us outside of Alberta currently who believe in that movement and and are hoping
00:06:59.020so badly that it succeeds we want to come there um eventually once we can afford to uh to get out
00:07:06.580there and do that thing but the polls i'm seeing are showing 20 the latest one i think it came out
00:07:13.020last week and i'm not sure uh which company put it out but it was 20 20 20 of albertans want to
00:07:19.680leave which is down from what we thought earlier 30 or 31 yeah i don't believe any of those polls
00:07:25.520They don't square up at all with anything that we're seeing at the doors.
00:07:30.080They don't square up with, you know, the ECOS poll.
00:07:32.860They don't square up with the lines of, you know, literally, you know, the lines over a mile long going back into the dark January nights of Alberta of people enthusiastically waiting in line with their friends and neighbors to sign the Alberta independence petition.
00:07:48.760You know, there's a good old-fashioned Alberta word for polls like that, and it's just bullshit.
00:07:53.460you know i mean right you know they're you know it's liberal propaganda it's like you know at
00:07:57.460that point shadow you know we might just as well start believing whatever we see on cbc right have
00:08:03.440you done any uh left-wing media polls or uh media interviews lately no no they for whatever reason
00:08:09.620they don't have me on um i had a really good one with uh bashi capellos um uh a month ago uh you
00:08:17.420know when the conservative convention was on in calgary and um apparently i think the national
00:08:23.280consensus including from my friend Paul St-Pierre Plamondon in Quebec was that I kicked her ass so
00:08:29.100badly that CTV would never have me back on again that's funny because she she's the only one who
00:08:35.220might be able to do a reasonable interview with you the others are so confirmation bias that they
00:08:42.360would never be able to even speak the same language do you feel that way a lot of times when oh god I
00:08:48.040mean the CBC interviewers are the worst they've stopped having me on because I just I just make
00:08:52.700fun of them right it's like you know that's just you know okay that's a stupid question are you not
00:08:56.860embarrassed to be asking that question like one of my favorite ones is aren't you afraid that if
00:09:01.320alberta becomes independent you're going to be invaded by the united states of america and who's
00:09:06.500going to defend alberta from the united states of america right as if the united as if canada
00:09:12.940has an armed forces capable of defending canada against the united states of america right right
00:09:19.060But it's, you know, but it's that stupid narrative, these stupid narratives that they get a hold of that they want to run to distract from what's, you know, what they know is really going on, which is that Alberta independence is an immovable and unstoppable force, right?
00:09:34.040Because we know what we get when we vote for independence, right? No more federal income tax, no more GST, no more carbon tax of any form whatsoever, no more stupid regulations from Ottawa, no more capital gains tax, no more threats of the Liberal government taxing the equity in our homes, right?
00:09:53.360uh no more estate taxes no more you know no more bullshit from ottawa no more stupid politicians
00:09:58.780in ottawa but oh that gun looks really scary we better out lot and we've been told by our masters
00:10:04.660in communist china that you know that people shouldn't be allowed to own you know single
00:10:09.600shot 50 caliber rifles anymore because they might be used to stop chinese troops in the street you
00:10:15.460know stuff like that right so you know we're tired of it right and so we know what we get when we
00:10:21.100vote ourselves out of canada we get huge benefits for voting ourselves out of canada now what do
00:10:26.680people get if they vote to stay in canada oh i really got to get out to vote because i want more
00:10:32.780of the same miserable bullshit right like you know seriously i mean that's it that's when the
00:10:38.400referendum campaign actually starts and we're very confident now that you know that it will
00:10:43.120because we're you know we've been we've been having a very very successful um uh you know
00:10:48.340canvassing and signature gathering campaign right but um what's going on with this injunction let
00:10:54.220me ask you uh juno put this out i think maybe two weeks ago they say sign now alberta independence
00:11:00.140leader warns of looming court challenge and that there could be a forthcoming injunction that will
00:11:05.440take away your legal right to canvas out there i've never ever bullshitted you on your show once
00:11:12.140so i'll tell you straight up that i think the odds of that injunction issuing to stop collecting
00:11:17.160signatures you know are pretty low slim to none in fact those are the exact words the judge used
00:11:22.780in court when it was being suggested by Orla O'Kelly the lawyer for Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation
00:11:29.180who's seeking you know this injunction the judge said look the odds of me granting an injunction
00:11:34.580to stop signature collection in this province is slim to none right so you know I mean you know I
00:11:41.780mean that's that's where it's at I mean it's true that we're concerned about it and I think it's
00:11:46.200true that uh uh you know that we would like people to be campaigning and gathering signatures and we
00:11:52.980would like all of our canvassers to be gathering signatures like we're a hundred thousand signatures
00:11:58.060behind i mean we really you know we really want to get you know wait a minute clarify what you
00:12:03.180just said because some people might actually assume that you're a hundred thousand behind
00:12:06.540right now you were just using that as a metaphor i'm just yeah obviously just using that as a
00:12:10.420metaphor but that having been said we want people to you know people that care about a free and
00:12:14.720independent alberta you know we want you to get out and work and knock on doors and collect
00:12:20.220signatures and we want people to sign the petition as if the future lives of their children and
00:12:26.500grandchildren depend on it because they do right so you know we want everybody working as hard as
00:12:33.020they can here for these last six weeks um to get as high a number in as possible you know we always
00:12:39.420say we need this to be too big to write right um you know because we you know we're not very
00:12:44.680confident um uh you know in the elections alberta process uh they haven't shown us to date that
00:12:51.260they're the least bit unbiased right so you know we want to make sure that uh you know that we have
00:12:56.560way way more than we need uh going forward and on top of it it makes a very strong political
00:13:01.780statement right and that political statement is you know you know uh you know if we have 20 percent
00:13:08.600of the population of the voting public you know so say we get 400 000 signatures or five or whatever
00:13:13.680we have 20 or 25 percent of the voting public signing a petition to get out of uh alberta
00:13:20.280what does that tell you about the polls right that's you know 25 percent of people who are
00:13:25.920actually putting their name on you know on the line using vote with photo id right and there's
00:13:32.060a lot of difference between between people who are just willing to say in a poll versus actually
00:13:37.940putting your name out there people are scared you know like when sign here i'm not putting my name
00:13:42.960on anything right that's that moment you know is a big moment right it's getting them to sign on
00:13:48.900the dotted line and so you know when they do that that is showing an absolute dedication to the cause
00:13:54.920and you say that's going well i've seen some videos our friend martin belanger he he does
00:14:01.960a canvassing thing right yeah and i i don't know the context around it but that one video in
00:14:08.800particular aside from the old guy saying you're a traitor um the the woman who just stopped in
00:14:15.340front of his canvassing booth there and started just yelling at him uh then almost ripped his
00:14:19.740shirt off when he went to get her license plate number do you know what happened with that one
00:14:24.120no i have i haven't talked to marty but i you know i wish marty would be a little bit calmer
00:14:29.220about these things right she was i mean again i mean that woman was obviously suffering from a
00:14:34.880different form of aids right not alberta independence denial syndrome she had full-blown
00:14:40.080alberta independence derangement syndrome right you know so you know that poor woman was obviously
00:14:45.800some form of edp right you emotionally disturbed person and you know i think that when you're
00:14:51.000dealing with people like that you need to be calm and you've got to deal with them you know
00:14:54.820um you know in a manner that doesn't you know doesn't make you look just as crazy
00:14:59.680well in fairness to marty she did almost rip his shirt off him when he went to go well we didn't
00:15:06.480see we didn't see that in the video but uh you know i wouldn't i wouldn't uh and maybe that was
00:15:12.240very surprising to marty and that's why he had the whole high-pitched reaction that he had to it
00:15:16.760but um as far as it goes you know i would urge everybody when they're dealing with people like
00:15:24.020that to just be calm and you know and deal with them you know like demonstrate that you're the
00:15:28.360rational you know adult in the room and uh you know and uh you know and try to be as calm as
00:15:34.400you can because you know like you know the more energy you put into emotionally disturbed people
00:15:39.460the more emotionally disturbed they become quite often that is true but i mean let me let me ask
00:15:44.260you this is there a stock line that the leadership provides to the canvassers out there and there's
00:15:49.3407,000 of them, you know, and I'm sure they all face this kind of pushback from the mentally
00:15:54.800deranged people, the ones that will walk right up to your face and call you a traitor.
00:15:59.320Is there any kind of stock response that you recommend they use?
00:16:02.460Yeah, and that is, you know, that I'm, you know, I'm an Alberta elections, Alberta approved
00:16:09.040canvasser engaged in a lawfully constituted process and obstruction of canvassing contravenes
00:16:18.000the elections act and you could be subject to fines up to 25 000 so you know that's it right
00:16:24.920i mean you wouldn't try and have a conversation with him and actually turn him around somehow
00:16:28.520but no i mean it's politics right it's like you know like when you're knocking on doors i mean
00:16:32.980you're you learn not to waste your time at doors where people are intentionally wasting your time
00:16:38.120to try to keep you engaged with their silly left-wing garbage right yeah and by letting
00:16:43.400those people stand in front of a canvassing table and interrupt what's going on and keeping
00:16:49.740other people from signing because they're there doing you know engaged in their performative
00:16:54.260nonsense right you're you know you're basically preventing other people you know from being able
00:16:59.840to come and sign or be comfortable about coming to sign or whatever it is right so you know those
00:17:05.060you know those people needed to you know need to be dealt with you know calmly and rationally and
00:17:09.900moved on their way and if they won't move on their way and if they continue to obstruct then
00:17:14.280just phone the police right okay so what what about the people in the middle i mean you you
00:17:18.500guys have been going out doing the town halls still yeah oh yeah for sure there's another one
00:17:22.620in uh in spring bank coming up on tuesday that i'm looking forward to that uh mitch and i'll
00:17:27.680both be speaking at i hate that golf course but uh i'm not a fan of spring bank links but anyway
00:17:36.100um there's got to be i mean i think you've probably got let's just say whatever number
00:17:43.280it is that are absolutely staunchly committed to alberta sovereignty and then there's a bunch
00:17:48.600that are absolutely committed to keeping alberta in canada there's got to be a soft middle here
00:17:53.600are you are you finding that the people who are coming out to these town halls
00:17:58.200are all dedicated to the cause or are there people wanting we always ask at those town halls like
00:18:04.960how many people have been to a meeting before how many people are the first time whatever
00:18:09.040and it's usually more than half or three quarters that are there for the first time right so you're
00:18:14.420not in an echo chamber then no god no these aren't like revival tent meetings where we have the same
00:18:19.400people coming out over and over again to to sing hosannas right it's you know brother loves travel
00:18:25.540and salvation yeah yeah exactly right so so you've got people asking questions like there's people
00:18:30.740saying okay so what happens if what happens what do i do what happens the next day and this was a
00:18:35.960question of a viewer question actually because i put up an earlier tease post about the show tonight
00:18:40.840and i said so if you have any questions for jeff write them down one guy said well what happens
00:18:44.140after like right after the day after i said nothing but let's ask jeff about it well i mean
00:18:49.960the government doesn't change the day after i mean there's a vote but then there are political
00:18:54.480consequences that flow from that vote you know and if danielle smith and her government continue
00:18:59.220to be staunch federalists the day after uh uh you know a majority of albertans vote for independence
00:19:04.840then i think the consequence of that would likely be a an annual general meeting of the uh united
00:19:11.440conservative party and you know where danielle's you know basically told that if you're you know
00:19:16.640you continue to think that you're leading a federalist party when a super majority of your
00:19:22.240members favor independence and a majority of albertans have voted in favor of independence
00:19:27.540you know it's time for you to shuffle on right um you know i i don't see that coming i think
00:19:33.360danielle is going to have to get out in front of the parade sooner you know sooner rather than
00:19:37.160later um you know she's still playing her little federalist game and i think she was quite
00:19:41.120encouraged the other night by she went to a leaders dinner um in edmonton to keep in mind
00:19:47.180those are all very staunch danielle smith supporters it's edmonton so it's kind of you
00:19:51.860know leftish to begin with and somebody asked her you know what about alberta independence and she
00:19:58.040said something to the effect of well i hope i still have a few more months to convince you
00:20:03.040that um uh you know that alberta's place is within canada or whatever and she got a bunch of applause
00:20:09.960uh for that from the party faithful that were at that meeting and they took that as a big sign
00:20:15.680but i can tell you that's not where the heart and soul of the united conservative party is i mean
00:20:19.800And the majority, a super majority of UCP members are in favor of independence.
00:20:24.280And I think we saw that at the annual general meeting this year that you and I were talking about where, you know,
00:20:30.000Alberta independence got a standing ovation for by over, you know, 85 to 95 percent of the people for the 4000 people that were at that convention.
00:20:39.600And then when Danielle Smith started talking about her, you know, you know, her pipe dream MOU with Mark Carney,
00:20:45.980she was being roundly booed by people in the room because people understand what bullshit it is
00:20:51.560yeah what about the NDP and and the far left and the media and and all of that I mean
00:20:57.520whenever we talk about this stuff you and I specifically we never really talk about them
00:21:03.040are they anything to worry about no they're completely irrelevant I mean we saw that with
00:21:08.180their stupid recall campaign where they're trying to recall all these MLAs uh you know in Alberta
00:21:13.940they couldn't even garner 10 000 votes per constituency right i mean we have more support
00:21:20.280for that for alberta independence right and then you know and then on top of it i've heard already
00:21:25.220that nenshi's so unpopular within the nvp that they're already planning to stab them in the back
00:21:30.820before the next election and try to do what the liberals did right fire you know fire nenshi you
00:21:36.820know like two or three months before the rip drops you know bring in some shiny new female face that
00:21:42.840isn't you know that is like janice erwin yeah whoever like somebody you know somebody that
00:21:48.280isn't obese and you know whatever i don't think they've got much of a bench strength man yeah but
00:21:53.560anyway i mean that's i've heard rumblings that that's that might be what's going on in the
00:21:57.640background there i think i kind of think that nenshi's kind of dead man walking i mean the
00:22:02.380other thing that was really funny and i think was hugely embarrassing for him and i don't know why
00:22:06.280he did his health his health care you know is private but he actually publicly yeah yeah he
00:22:12.020publicly admitted that his doctor was prescribing him ivermectin off-label and my buddy eric bouchard
00:22:17.980if you ever see it did a great speech in the alberta legislature making you know praising
00:22:22.640ivermectin as a world-class drug and listing the nobel prizes and it's one and all this stuff and
00:22:29.300then talking about you know in fact it's so good that you know that mr nenshi's using it off-label
00:22:34.340compared to when he and his caucus were calling it horse pace horse paste right right so you know
00:22:40.000not so very long ago either i mean very long ago and then on top of it when we talk about not so
00:22:45.360very long ago as a lawyer this is very serious i am still representing doctors who are being
00:22:51.080persecuted by the college of physicians and surgeons for allegedly prescribing ivermectin
00:22:57.360during um uh you know during uh covid uh because it was off-label and nenshi's doctor apparently
00:23:05.160can get away with off-label use of ivermectin just fine and uh you know the college of physicians
00:23:10.820and surgeons isn't coming after him so it just goes to show the double standard right it seems
00:23:17.020to me that uh ahs and the college in all alberta is 100 corrupt i mean i've done a couple of
00:23:23.960episodes with dr mackis to william mackis he's leaving yeah he's leaving alberta because he's
00:23:29.960just being treated so terribly there and all he's trying to do is cure cancer yeah but anyway let's
00:23:35.740talk about the first nations chiefs from alberta getting on a plane i'm not sure if if they took a
00:23:44.140first class flight to the uk probably but they got on a plane they went to the uk they actually got a
00:23:52.740meeting with the king yeah and complained to the king about daniel smith somehow uh subverting
00:24:02.460justice or subverting the constitution of our country and because sovereignty is is illegal or
00:24:08.580unconstitutional and what the king said was oh i'm concerned let me know more
00:24:14.000yeah too much what was that all about what were they trying to do with that well first of all i
00:24:19.600think king chuck was way out over his skis on that one right because quite frankly i think it's
00:24:25.420unconstitutional completely inappropriate uh you know for charles to interfere in the internal
00:24:31.560political affairs of the province of alberta you know the other thing is he's not he's not endearing
00:24:36.880himself to people within the independence movement because there's a lot of you know when we talk
00:24:41.420about that soft soft middle there's a lot of people in that soft middle that would rather be
00:24:45.960the commonwealth of alberta and um you know and retain some sort of relationship with the crown
00:24:52.420you know simply promote our lieutenant governor to governor general uh you know have a new
00:24:57.580bicameral legislature and elected executive but we could call the elected executive person a prime
00:25:02.880minister or whatever it is right change our system away from west the westminster system
00:25:07.820but at the same time maintain a relationship with the crown but when charles is meddling in the
00:25:13.280internal affairs of alberta i mean he's making people so angry it makes the you know it certainly
00:25:18.880gives a lot more ammunition to the people that are pure republicans that want nothing to do with
00:25:23.720the monarchy after independence right so you know i don't think he did himself any favors um you know
00:25:29.760with that and quite frankly i i think danielle smith should have sent a letter of protest uh
00:25:35.700through the lieutenant governor and you know asked king charles to please mind his own business
00:25:41.280and not to meddle in the internal affairs of the people of Alberta.
00:25:49.620And, you know, and he shouldn't be, you know, you know, he needs to realize that, you know,
00:25:54.98044 chiefs do not necessarily represent the interests of every First Nations person in Alberta.
00:26:02.120I can guarantee you that we have far more treaty people in Alberta that have signed the petition
00:26:10.100than there are treaty chiefs in alberta like you know we there's thousands of first nations people
00:26:15.660that have signed the petition as far as we know to date and we have you know for uh you know metis
00:26:19.980people we have treaty people out actively canvassing out actively promoting alberta
00:26:25.620independence because they're not happy with uh the present system and who can blame them well so
00:26:31.800what was the game here then i mean these all of these first nations and 44 chiefs get together
00:26:36.840and do this and they had that press conference with nenshi too on the on the steps of the
00:26:41.360legislature in edmonton a couple of weeks ago as well i mean what you you have a unique relationship
00:26:46.480with first nations in alberta you've spent a great deal of your career as a lawyer uh working with
00:26:52.260them and i'm just trying to figure all of this out i mean as you've mentioned before you know
00:26:58.160if alberta does manage to pull away from canada those treaty rights don't go anywhere no that's
00:27:04.680well that's the whole thing right and on top of it if you read the value of freedom document that
00:27:08.960was prepared uh you know uh by alberta prosperity project to demonstrate to everybody how much
00:27:14.500better off alberta would be as a free and independent country uh you know that document
00:27:18.900expressly states that uh you know that the treaties will be respected and not only that
00:27:24.340it would provide an opportunity for treaty first nations to come to the table and negotiate things
00:27:31.560that they've wanted for decades right including constitutionalized resource revenue sharing
00:27:38.080that could see revenue to their communities triple right but instead of you know look and i and to be
00:27:44.140clear again because of my career and because of you know what i've seen in terms of the poverty
00:27:48.820of indigenous nations in alberta as a result of the way that they've been mistreated by canada
00:27:54.860the way that the treaties have been violated by canada etc right i wouldn't be doing this if i
00:28:01.260did not believe in my heart that the lives of treaty first nations people would be better off
00:28:06.080in a free and independent alberta than they are under the current paternalistic uh system uh that
00:28:12.800has been imposed on them you know by ottawa through the indian act and you know and it's not even the
00:28:18.060indian act so much it's the indian affairs bureaucracy and the federal bureaucracy i mean
00:28:22.440you know who in their right mind would think that federal bureaucrats you know um can take care of
00:28:28.020anybody right in a way that makes any sense yeah well they've never shown any signs of being able
00:28:34.180to do that like i you know what did reagan say i'm here from the government and i'm here to help
00:28:38.760i mean those are the words that you you don't want to hear no i'm sorry go ahead man no all right
00:28:46.160danielle smith is in a bad spot right now in my opinion and so she keeps trying you know she puts
00:28:53.500little morsels out there and what i say about danielle smith i mean if alberta does wind up
00:28:58.500staying within canada that she's probably an asset for alberta going forward if the if the
00:29:04.580whole movement fails and i'm not saying that it will i'm just saying if right because there's
00:29:09.540always possibilities going either way she puts morsels out there like yesterday when she made
00:29:14.560the maid announcement for example and this mou which we all know is never going to succeed
00:29:20.000We know Carney is going to leave the oil on the ground.
00:29:22.840He's a net zero guy, and he's never going to change that stance.
00:29:25.800I mean, he's responsible for GFONS and all of the other net zero,
00:29:29.640almost all of the other net zero organizations there are in the world
00:29:33.560because he was the climate special envoy for the UN for, what, four or five years, right?
00:29:39.040So we know that's never going to change.
00:29:42.060But what we've got with Danielle Smith right now
00:29:45.160is the Alberta sovereignty movement not happy with her
00:29:48.800because she continues to be this this federalist premier but on the other hand how is how is the
00:29:54.840NDP like targeting her for being this separatist premier when she has clearly stated time and time
00:30:01.560and time again that she wants Canada or Alberta to stay within Canada I mean that's that's got to
00:30:06.680be well and on top of it she came out the other week and actually flat out said that you know
00:30:11.100like somebody you know said well madam premier what about what Mr. Nenshi says that you need
00:30:15.900to come out and say that you support you know that you're that you're against independence
00:30:19.760and she goes every i'm you know i am leading you know the anti-independence movement every time
00:30:25.260i do something to improve our relationship with ottawa i'm leading the anti you know like basically
00:30:30.460leading the anti-independence movement i am you know i am leading through my action against
00:30:35.740independence i mean so that's i mean that's kind of where she's at and i mean a lot of us
00:30:40.200are you know think that she's screwed us again i mean she's screwed everybody in the wild rose
00:30:45.680party when she crossed the floor to the to the pcs and she literally got elected premier in alberta
00:30:51.200by courting the independence vote i mean my understanding you know um through various people
00:30:56.420that i know that were involved in her leadership campaign that you know basically the entire
00:31:00.900wexit list right party list was danielle's leadership campaign list so um you know and
00:31:08.760then when she was running and again she runs for premier she comes to that debate that was put on
00:31:13.520by APP hosted by Ezra Levant she's pandering to all of the separatists in the room saying oh yes
00:31:20.940and Ezra says well what's the or else Danielle what's the or else to Ottawa oh the or else is
00:31:26.080Dennis Modry in the APP so saying basically that if Ottawa doesn't behave themselves you know we're
00:31:32.100going to be going full-blown independence and of course you know she didn't mean any of it it was
00:31:37.060just cynical pandering to the people that she needed to get elected because you know keep in
00:31:42.780mind at the time and i was there right so you had brian gene who's probably you know as smart as my
00:31:47.980tabletop right um comes into a room full of separatists that basically says that his reason
00:31:53.580to be there is to be on the record and to stare the separatists in the face and tell us we're all
00:31:57.980a bunch of idiots for thinking that alberta should leave canada right so brian gene's supporters were
00:32:03.420all fervently anti-independence right then you had um uh taves right and uh you know taves was
00:32:10.280a kennyite so kenny had his hand up his butt making his mouth move right so he was just a
00:32:14.760puppet for kenny federalist right rayjan swani right who's basically as far left as the ndp i
00:32:22.580mean all of her people were were federalists so the only candidates that basically you know were
00:32:28.380being supported by the independence movement were danielle smith because she lied to enough people
00:32:34.120to convince them that she would support independence before she stabbed everybody in
00:32:38.020the back right and todd lowen who i was supporting because i knew he was the only guy that was
00:32:42.920running that was genuine in his you know in his belief and his statement that alberta would be
00:32:47.900better off outside of canada and he'd pursue that policy so you know danielle was she was a leader
00:32:53.900on the basis of people in the independence movement she was elected premier by the
00:32:59.420independence movement she ran on rob anderson's so-called free alberta strategy which was all
00:33:05.940about preparing alberta for independence and then she does the bait and switch instead of the you
00:33:12.080know the sovereign alberta act it's the sovereign alberta within a united canada act right and
00:33:17.880again just stabbed everybody in the back because that's what she does i just kind of you know i'm
00:33:24.020just trying to figure out why these federalists are so staunch in their beliefs and the only thing
00:33:31.180that i can think of and when we sit down and actually have a logical argument about this
00:33:35.320when you know we say alberta separate this is what it's going to be and you lay out all the
00:33:42.400benefits of that plan as opposed to staying within this woke nightmare country right the
00:33:48.440woke media and the woke institutions and the woke judges and all of that stuff the excessive
00:33:54.100taxation the you know the excessive regulation the lack of freedom you know i mean we can't even
00:34:00.420trust that the government isn't reading our texts and on our phones now with that new legislation
00:34:05.640that's been passed they want to be they want to be in every aspect of our lives they want to edit
00:34:11.320they want to edit the freaking bible they want to edit the torah they want to edit the quran
00:34:15.420heaven forbid that anybody's religious text you know has you know said something that mark miller
00:34:21.200doesn't approve of and i said you know and i was joking around and i said well so much for paul's
00:34:27.000letter to the corinthians and above all keep your women silent in church i said i said for a lot of
00:34:33.320guys that's the only piece they ever get but no no that's probably hate speech now right my question
00:34:41.040would be is the only arguments to stay within canada would be emotional right like some of the
00:34:47.740guys i've seen the videos and some of the guys who walk up and they yell traitor to whichever
00:34:52.480canvasser happens to be out there videoing at that moment traitor your father would be rolling
00:34:57.040in his grave my father fought for this country and he'd be ashamed of what it's become right i
00:35:01.920mean that's all emotional that has nothing to do with alberta albertans you know generationally
00:35:10.960benefiting from a sovereign country um how do you defeat that because the emotional argument
00:35:18.340as illogical as it is always seems to be the strongest it doesn't it isn't it isn't i mean
00:35:26.520first of all i think you've got to understand that there's a very deep well of uh in alberta
00:35:32.460of you know a very deep well of uh of eastern alienation in the province right so you know i
00:35:39.140think these people you know the people and then you know it appears like oh you know i'm joe rogan
00:35:43.220oh albertans are patriots they're strong patriots well a lot of that patriotism now has turned to
00:35:48.260patriotism for alberta i mean there's a lot of people that don't consider in alberta that don't
00:35:52.600consider themselves canadian anymore that's how bad it's gotten in this province in terms of the
00:35:57.540misgovernance that we've we've suffered under i think you'd be hard you know i mean and obviously
00:36:02.360we have those really super emotional people or people that have this strong attachment you know
00:36:08.040to canada but i think you know they're finding less and less and less reason to feel that way
00:36:12.980right and you know to the extent that um you know and again keep in mind alberta has an extremely
00:36:18.460highly educated population i think we have more university degrees per capita of any other
00:36:23.360province in the country certainly most post-secondary educated people of any of any
00:36:28.040province in the country when you look at all the trade certificates and trades you know
00:36:31.660licensed trades people in alberta i can tell you like 80 or 90 percent of the trades people in
00:36:36.600alberta favor independence and it's like yeah and they don't have this emotional attachment to
00:36:41.140canada they look at their you know they they look at the financial statement for their plumbing
00:36:45.720business their electrical business or guys that are still working you know by the hour union jobs
00:36:51.080or whatever they look at their pay stub they see how they put a red circle around how much income
00:36:55.800tax they're paying to the government of canada and they go oh i can't wait for independence
00:37:01.200you know that's what i say too you know when people are are asking me i go look at man um
00:37:06.240they've just spent hundreds of millions of dollars give it to lebanon 37 million or 370 million
00:37:14.220they gave how many billions to ukraine i mean all of the money that they're sending in one fell swoop
00:37:20.260is more money than 5 000 people like us will ever pay in income taxes in our lifetime 69 billion
00:37:30.560dollars plus to ukraine right and we all know that ukraine is a black hole of corruption right
00:37:37.840it's one of the most corrupt countries in the world right yeah i mean look at all the properties
00:37:41.640and ski resorts and yachts and all the rest of it that that zelinski owns right as an example
00:37:47.180does anybody believe that once 69 billion dollars goes into a black box called ukraine that can't be
00:37:54.840audited by any canadian official that can't be overseen by the rcmp that can't be accessed by
00:38:00.120the auditor general etc etc does anybody actually believe that billions of dollars of that money
00:38:07.120didn't find its way back into offshore bank accounts of various corrupt liberal um mps
00:38:14.240uh hangers on um you know uh former trudeau aids you know etc etc does anybody actually believe
00:38:22.340that didn't happen i mean if they do they've got to be the most naive people in the world
00:38:26.800and are still wearing their stupid elbows up shirts right right so but the thing is when you
00:38:33.180look at that you go man this is this is all the money i've ever spent in taxes in my life and
00:38:37.100it's not my choice to spend it on taxes they take it from me and they decide to spend it like this
00:38:42.740eventually that kind of anger and frustration will build into some kind of a tax revolt
00:38:49.200just that argument alone if you're talking to a federalist albertan may be able to open up their
00:38:57.320eyes a little bit no well and i oh for sure and i think i told you this story a while ago i mean
00:39:01.420it was kind of funny i got pulled over one morning by this fresh-faced uh rookie police officer and
00:39:08.100he was asking me why i was in such a good mood and i told him it was because i was coming back
00:39:11.720from a really really positive meeting with a bunch of business guys about alberta independence and he
00:39:17.180oh we support it too and what he meant was everybody on the car city police force and i
00:39:23.520said to him i said well i bet you do i said you're capable of taking a circle around your federal tax
00:39:28.780portion on your on your pay stub and understanding how much more money you're going to have in your
00:39:33.340pocket at the end of at the end of the day oh absolutely hey so i mean anybody that's on you
00:39:39.620know anybody you know that's on a wage and we say this all the time if you're if you're a nurse if
00:39:44.460you're a police officer welder plumber pipe fitter uh electrician whatever it is just take a red pen
00:39:51.600make a circle around your federal income tax contribution and then imagine your life with
00:39:56.300that money in your bank account and we've actually i actually had our chief economist the guy that
00:40:01.100i was working with with another team of bankers and economists to do the value of freedom document
00:40:07.340so i said hey i got a question for you so i said i think this is what we want to run on
00:40:11.060as our campaign for independence and i said what i want to know is on the basis of all of the math
00:40:19.160and the ai model that we use to produce the value of freedom document in year one year one of alberta
00:40:24.980independence let's imagine that's 2027 okay in year one of alberta independence on the basis of
00:40:31.440the fiscal capacity surplus in alberta can we afford to provide all of the services outlined
00:40:38.000in the value of freedom document including an alberta military okay um and afford to fully
00:40:44.740cut in year one um federal income taxes eliminated entirely and double cpp and oas payments to our
00:40:53.400seniors so anyway our economists went to work and they ran it through the model and the answer was
00:40:58.300yeah we could afford to do that and still have a fiscal capacity surplus of 10 or 15 billion
00:41:04.320dollars right and of course i'm talking you know so i'm talking about this and whatever and i don't
00:41:09.440know whether you saw it or not but um that um uh pudgy guy on um this hour has 22 minutes that
00:41:16.060looks like jason kenny is making fun of me and calling me names oh he can't even do math he's
00:41:21.240i'm the one that sent that oh that's right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 15 billion dollars you know
00:41:26.940like whatever you know doesn't jeffrey rath understand that we collect 50 we collect 15
00:41:33.180billion dollars a year in federal income tax in alberta where does he think that money's coming
00:41:38.080from and of course my response is i don't think if you and i ever talked about this on your show
00:41:41.880i don't think so no you sent me a clip so anyway my response to that was okay dumbass don't you
00:41:48.700understand that alberta sends 15 billion dollars a year to quebec i said we just have to end
00:41:55.640equalization to quebec and we can eliminate federal income tax in alberta all of which comes
00:42:01.200with alberta independence right yeah so the math the math isn't really complicated and for anybody
00:42:07.220to suggest that the math and the value of freedom doesn't math um is lying i mean that's all they're
00:42:14.040doing they're just lying it's propaganda it's complete bs right um i talked to pierre um
00:42:20.260about our value of freedom document by the way that's the leader of the bloc oh yeah that's the
00:42:27.360No, no, that's the leader of the Parti Quebecois, who's soon to become the premier of Quebec, right?
00:42:33.500And he said he had their economists go through our document.
00:42:37.680And he said, well, Jeff, you know, you need to understand our economists have looked at this document.
00:42:42.600And we actually think that Alberta will be much better off than you've set out in that document.
00:42:48.680And I laughed and I said, well, yeah, I said, Paul, it's because we're Albertans.
00:42:52.560We tend to under-promise and over-deliver.
00:42:55.280But I said, you need to understand that when we prepared that document, we wanted the numbers and the math to be unassailable, right?
00:43:03.500So we deliberately underestimated everything.
00:43:06.280Like, as an example, you know, we didn't do a calculation as to how much better off Alberta would be economically once we kept the entire $70 billion a year that we send Ottawa in Alberta and 100% of that $70 billion a year got spent in Alberta as opposed to somewhere else.
00:48:09.920No, no, I was just going to finish the point.
00:48:11.400And then, right, she goes on Juneau News and she acknowledges that one of the reasons that Alberta's doing so well is because of the strength of the Alberta independence movement, she's been able to strong arm Carney into getting rid of a bunch of restrictions on the Alberta economy, right?
00:48:25.760You know, I think Carney is terrified. And I'd called, because I heard I've got some connections in Ottawa, some pretty well-placed ones actually in the House of Commons, I'm not going to name names, but they told me two months ago, they said there's going to be an election this spring.
00:48:40.760mark my words there's going to be an election carney wants his majority but then something
00:48:46.780odd happened and that is the alberta independence movement started to really take off and really
00:48:52.620grow never mind what the polls are saying 20 25 30 whatever i think it's much higher than that
00:48:57.560i personally do i've spoken to so many people it's crazy and so he's terrified basically if
00:49:05.660carney gets a liberal majority through an election that's the we're gone we're gone
00:49:12.840yeah totally well no and even worse i mean or even better for us right is when he bribes his
00:49:19.460way to a majority without an election like did you see that nonsense where the liberals gave
00:49:24.740500 million dollars to the husband of that inuit um member of parliament to cross the floor
00:49:31.820from the um mdp to the liberals how and and the 500 million dollars supposedly is going to uh you
00:49:39.480know a holding company that has two employees how does a holding company with two employees
00:49:45.020spend 500 million dollars wasn't that on houses there's a modular homes or something well yeah
00:49:50.960yeah but that's the whole point how does a two-person company have the capacity to build
00:49:55.260500 million dollars worth of homes so i'll tell you how i'll tell you how right they're going to
00:50:00.880do a deal with brookfield brookfield will come in right and this person will be the titular head
00:50:07.080of this construction company where brookfield does all the work takes all the money and leaves
00:50:11.740this guy a couple three four five ten twenty million and they take the rest right yeah that's
00:50:16.840how that's gonna play out like you know he gets a majority man and and that's i i think alberta is
00:50:23.920that would be the tipping point oh man if he bribes his way to a majority it's even better
00:50:28.900than an election for us how do you see um like when this goes down and the petition goes through
00:50:37.560it's fine you've got your signatures everything's cool and then we go to the referendum in october
00:50:41.880and by the way i'm i was shocked about that you were saying last year that oh yeah we want it this
00:50:47.560year we want it soon uh i think you were talking spring but october was fine keith wilson was a
00:50:52.680little bit more conservative in his estimates he was thinking maybe 2027 so very good on you for
00:50:57.800making that prediction how do you see provincial migration in and out do you see a lot of wokies
00:51:05.060going well i can't stay here anymore people from alberta you know those kinds of people leaving
00:51:10.580the province going to bc i think it's one of the reasons that we have this job growth going on in
00:51:15.580alberta right now we have a lot of conservatives and i've met a bunch of them through them through
00:51:19.580the independence movement that have been selling their businesses in ontario and coming to alberta
00:51:25.160and buying businesses and restarting businesses in Alberta with money that they've taken out of
00:51:30.320Ontario because they want to be here for independence and they want to support the
00:51:34.020independence movement. And they see that Alberta, you know, is the only, you know, is the only sane
00:51:39.220jurisdiction in Canada. And the Alberta independence movement has literally been like a beacon of light
00:51:44.800to businesses in British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, you know, et cetera. You know,
00:51:51.260even the maritimes to sell you know to sell your business you know in whatever communist province
00:51:56.080you're in and bring the money to alberta and invest in in alberta and i think that's a big
00:52:01.640part of the job growth in alberta yeah you know what i think about alberta it's just such and
00:52:07.020always has been but i think more recently it's become just this wild hub of activity it's just
00:52:14.680got a buzz going on even more than normal i was talking to dallas brody the leader of one bc
00:52:19.560she was on the conservative convention i really quite enjoyed her she's yeah yeah she's pretty
00:52:24.240cool and so she uh i said so she was at the convention i said how was that for you she goes
00:52:29.380i can't even believe the difference you know you go to a place like bc which is run by the
00:52:34.700communists manitoba same thing run by the communists and there's just such a drabness to it
00:52:40.080and you know the background of bc is hilarious because it's beautiful there the mountains the
00:52:45.680trees i mean it's just a gorgeous gorgeous province and yet somehow she describes a drabness
00:52:51.160in society because of the way it's governed and alberta is go ahead today bc's population is
00:52:58.340shrinking and they're coming to alberta right people are packing up selling their shit in bc
00:53:02.640and moving to alberta okay so do you see a lot of the wokes leaving alberta so the population
00:53:09.700people remain the same and all we say is don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out
00:53:15.060right because i'm thinking about afterwards and i know you don't want to talk about afterwards
00:53:19.880because you're so busy working on making sure that this is a successful petition and then a
00:53:24.580successful referendum but afterwards when you win yeah um what does the political landscape
00:53:31.400look like once we get past the united conservative party and the ndp i mean would the ndp even
00:53:36.640continue existing in in an independent yeah but again you know the the form of constitution that
00:53:43.580we're looking at setting up um you know would certainly limit the amount of damage that any
00:53:49.460of them could ever do like we'd be looking at having an elected legislature um based on uh
00:53:54.740you know population we'd have an elected senate based on regions so the cities you know would
00:54:00.580have you know the you know senators based on the region that they happen to be in it'd be two per
00:54:06.160region so the amount of power the cities would have would be drastically reduced um which you
00:54:12.820know reduces you know the ability of all the welfare collecting you know woke folk you know
00:54:17.560to ruin the lives of those of us that live in rural Alberta right and then we would have an
00:54:22.440elected um executive and you know we sort of modeled this on the U.S. system but we'd have
00:54:27.820some differences right like nationally in Alberta we would have you know we would do what some of
00:54:33.040the states do we have an elected attorney general and we would have an elected auditor general who
00:54:38.560would be specifically tasked with jailing crooked politicians right they wouldn't be members of the
00:54:44.100cabinet they wouldn't be part of the government right they would be have a real external watch
00:54:49.420dog role that they would be expected to fulfill constitutionally if they wanted to maintain their
00:54:55.540jobs right um you know we bring in you know and because you know we've you know we've had 250
00:55:00.940years of experience watching you know uh uh the problems with the american system you know we we
00:55:06.800would have a line item veto for the executive so you know you can't have you know all of the
00:55:11.420pork barreling that goes on you know in the united states right where you know literally no you know
00:55:17.400you can't have this because it doesn't make sense or you know your writing already has like you know
00:55:22.260your constituency already has three hospitals you don't get two more just because you traded
00:55:26.880favors with somebody in the back room right get rid of the lobbying like no more yeah oh absolutely
00:55:32.500right and then you know somebody actually said this quite seriously the other day somebody's
00:55:37.300doing this poll like you know what do you um you know what do you think we should call our
00:55:41.540new leader should be president or whatever and i said servant in chief you know like i you know i
00:55:47.660want whoever is running this place to understand that they work for us and they're not some
00:55:52.780temporarily elected monarch that gets to lord over us the way that queen danielle does and
00:55:58.780you know and king carney does in ottawa right like you know i want humble leaders that are
00:56:04.120humble servant leaders working for the people and if they aren't working for the people they're
00:56:09.400going to be out on their ass that's what i want you know interestingly uh i've floated this idea
00:56:14.480on the show a few times right i know how to get rid of the rot in ottawa and that is move the
00:56:21.700capital. Move it. Get it out of there. All those bureaucrats. Can you imagine those bureaucrats
00:56:28.040moving to a place like Kenora, Ontario, the new capital of Canada? Of course not.
00:56:33.240Weaver in Saskatchewan. Weaver in Saskatchewan. Right. Like not a chance. Right. They'd be called
00:56:38.840out every second. They opened their mouths and tried to lord anything over anybody.
00:56:43.360Exactly. And that's that's what we need. So would you like in an independent Alberta,
00:56:48.780the nation of Alberta would you say okay Edmonton's no longer the capital we need something a little
00:56:53.700bit more humble uh something more down to earth you put it in Red Deer Lethbridge uh yeah wherever
00:57:02.320right I mean I mean there's there's we're talking even you know like Red Deer's possible um but
00:57:07.680again like you know we'd have the senate maybe have the senate sitting you know uh Edmonton the
00:57:13.480legislature in calgary the chief the the you know the the chief executive in red deer or medicine
00:57:19.600hat or wherever i mean we you know figure figure it out but i think you know again i think you're
00:57:24.760right i think we want to spread the bureaucrats out across the again across the province and not
00:57:30.180have the you know this incestuous mess that we have in edmonton right now i mean you get that
00:57:35.820group think going right you know amongst all of them and if the woke group think starts to
00:57:40.960permeate through that particular class of people then they all start thinking that way that's the
00:57:46.020problem with that's the problem with the media right now jeff i mean like the media in toronto
00:57:50.340you know what did you see who was that guy former cbc guy who was testifying at committee
00:57:56.780last week i forget his name but he i didn't see it he mentioned that that gilmore dude is it
00:58:03.040gilmore the bald-headed guy on the cbc i can't remember his name anyway he said that uh well
00:58:08.640during the convoy well tamara leach apparently she's got a different last name and and so and
00:58:13.640dude said well that's generally the case with people who live in trailers right that kind of
00:58:20.900bullshit right yeah i know i love tamara yeah she's awesome and she made a i actually texted
00:58:28.140her and said did you see this and she goes yeah i'm talking about it right now on rebel i thought
00:58:31.920it was funny but i mean just that kind of attitude that permeates through that class of people they're
00:58:38.060the ones who are talking to canadians about what canada is right and they love like they love
00:58:45.200talking like oh he's a yahoo he wears a cowboy hat he wow right yeah oh boss hog blah blah okay
00:58:52.720asshole i have i have an honors degree in political science calling your boss hog oh yeah yeah no that's
00:58:58.720this this hour has 22 minutes it's like uh and you know anybody that has the least bit of a
00:59:03.960metabolic issue they they like they trot that out every couple years because they're not the least
00:59:07.780been original but that's that's one that i get and uh you know and i don't care right it's whatever
00:59:13.260it is but they try to make you out to be some yokel and it's like okay as well i have an honors
00:59:17.200degree in political science from the university of alberta i have an honors degree in law from
00:59:21.120the london school of economics okay so i think i'm pretty much better educated than you are
00:59:25.420and that one case is at the supreme court of canada so call me whatever names you want try
00:59:30.380to make me out to be whatever yokel you want to you know you want to say that i am but you know
00:59:35.100i'm a very well educated very successful uh you know barrister at the top of my game professionally
00:59:42.100um and have been for years i've won cases that other don't know you know what right i'm we're
00:59:48.660all perfectly familiar with your resume but i don't don't let them know that because we don't
00:59:53.100want to let them we don't want to let them see you coming yeah no but you know one of my favorite
01:00:00.360ones too because you come on to these podcasts every time i go to a speaking engagement you
01:00:04.640know it's like somebody will come up to me it's like oh my goodness you're so much taller in
01:00:10.280person whenever we see you on videos like i just thought you're really short and i said no no no
01:00:15.920no i'm much taller and fatter in person because you're watching me on this little five inch screen
01:00:22.040unbelievable i find it all pretty funny okay man uh that's it best of luck with everything let's
01:00:29.800stay in touch let's do this again real soon uh let's do it when we're getting close to the
01:00:34.940deadline and i know that you guys don't make the numbers public but can you give us a little bit
01:00:41.200of a hint as to where you're at right now with the petition i've even just a little you know what
01:00:46.400um everybody keeps needs to keep working like we're a hundred thousand signatures behind that's
01:00:51.500that's what i'm telling everybody like we need everybody maximum effort for the next six weeks
01:00:56.480Because, you know, every hundred thousand signatures we get over what we need is that much more political power that we have in the province to tell the government of Alberta that we want a standalone one question referendum without any of these nonsense, you know, tell Danielle Smith to do her damn job questions.
01:05:05.040all right welcome back couple of things uh house of commons is not sitting this week
01:05:14.540pierre pauliev has been on his tour of uh united states of america not that that's the reason it's
01:05:19.940just that this was not a sitting week for the house of commons they'll be back next week trying
01:05:24.480to ram c9 through the house of commons once it comes back from uh committee for its final time
01:05:29.920that should probably happen monday or tuesday i mentioned this earlier in the week and then
01:05:34.680it goes to Senate. Now, the Senate may decide they want to study that bill more to see if it's
01:05:40.660valid, maybe make some amendments to it. They might want to study it in committee. Either way,
01:05:46.560or they might not. They might just ramrod it through, and it could be law as of next week.
01:05:52.060That is C9, the hate speech bill in Canada, which will, in my opinion, really chill,
01:06:01.480Maybe not completely freeze, but really chill, free speech in this country.
01:06:06.460And now the liberals are head up on this new C-22, which allows government officials to contact telecommunications companies to put traps on your phones, on your computers, without notice, without any kind of reasoning except for suspicion.
01:06:31.480to take all of your information off your devices.
01:06:39.060And it seems the police chief of the largest city in the country
01:12:19.280the real problem is this supporting authorized access to information act so it's a new act that's
01:12:27.200being introduced and we'll just skip right down here to the obligations on core providers that
01:12:35.160that being all the classes of electronic communication providers that were outlined
01:12:41.040by wiretap media that and this is where we start getting into this just no oversight whatsoever
01:12:49.140no need for any parliamentary debate, no need for a judge's review, the governor and council can just make regulations regarding these individuals with respect to making them develop, implement, assess, test, maintain operational and technical capabilities, including capabilities related to extracting and organizing information that is authorized to be accessed.
01:13:12.340So this is forcing the telecommunications providers to essentially spy on you and be ready to provide information as requested or demanded by the government.
01:13:23.720Of course, subsection B, the installation, use, operation, management, assessment, testing, and maintenance of any device, equipment, or other thing that may enable an authorized person to access information.
01:13:36.060So they can make regulations to force the telecommunications providers to install,
01:13:42.700use, operate, manage, assess, test, and maintain devices or equipment that will
01:13:51.260steal all of your data, spy on everything, review everything.
01:13:54.940Long story short, it is every bit as bad as Wiretapped Media suggested in their ex post.
01:14:05.500anybody thinking about moving to alberta right now or maybe just getting out of canada altogether
01:14:14.400i mean you move to alberta you think all right we're gonna have our own country and then they
01:14:18.060they lose the referendum that would suck you'd still be stuck in this country with
01:14:25.160at least three more years of mark carney and a majority government
01:14:57.500or the city of london tough to say but this is a very interesting piece that we got today
01:15:07.800from committee which is still on mp michael cooper of the conservative party of canada
01:15:13.700talking to a former csis officer called gary clement about chinese infiltration remember
01:15:19.840that mark carney in this mou memo of understanding he assigned with china includes cooperation on
01:15:26.460security and policing now why on earth would you sign a memo of understanding with china
01:15:33.340they're not exactly our friends it's okay to trade with them but that's as far as i would go
01:15:39.740i wouldn't bring them in to start security or military any kind of cooperation in that way
01:15:47.380because they will just move in lock stock and barrel and you won't be able to get them out
01:15:52.820So here's Michael Cooper talking to this former CSIS agent about how bad Chinese infiltration actually is in this country. This was today.
01:16:01.120The so-called strategic partnership with the Beijing dictatorship includes an agreement on law enforcement cooperation between the RCMP and Beijing's Ministry of Public Security.
01:16:13.540For the record, this is the same Ministry of Public Security that was involved in operating several illegal police stations in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver to spy, harass, intimidate and coerce.
01:16:25.660I ask for communities. Do I have that right?
01:16:28.840Okay. Is it accurate to say that Beijing's overriding consideration for law enforcement is to advance the interests of the Chinese Communist Party?
01:16:40.720Law enforcement in China is part of the PRC apparatus.
01:16:46.100You can't separate them from the government, and they do not operate under the rule of law.
01:16:52.140I experienced it firsthand. I experienced it on one occasion when just probably a year before I took my retirement.
01:17:01.880I was tasked with meeting a delegation from China.
01:17:06.240This is the last time they came over looking for people under an alleged economic offense, and I put it in quotations.
01:17:14.600And they wanted – they basically literally sat down in a room.
01:17:18.660There was four Chinese from the delegation and stated, we expect you to identify where they are and we'll look after it from there, quote, unquote.
01:17:29.560So, as you noted, we're not dealing with a regime that respects the rule of law, due process, judicial independence, or other legal and ethical constraints that our law enforcement are bound by.
01:17:44.140So is it fair to say that when Canada cooperates with such a system, with such a regime, we're not an equal partner?
01:17:53.500They have a total different agenda than what we have, and I think it puts – I don't see how the RCMP can operate under this secret agreement.
01:18:04.380I think it's flawed and it's dangerous to our – not our economic, but our security interests.
01:18:11.020Okay. So recently, 10 Hong Kong diaspora organizations sent an open letter to Mark Carney
01:18:19.520expressing deep fear and anxiety about this agreement. In essence, they are concerned that
01:18:25.800Beijing will use this agreement to target political opponents of the regime in Canada
01:18:30.660under the guise of law enforcement. You provided, I think, an example of that. Would you agree that
01:18:37.300those concerns are valid? Absolutely. In fact, that's the reason I believe the police stations
01:18:43.060were set up here in the first place. It's to push their agenda, and we have to understand
01:18:49.720that they have a number of united front organizations operating in this country,
01:18:55.920which also support anything that the alleged police stations would do. Well, here we have
01:19:02.220Canada's biggest security threat. We have a prime minister entering into an agreement
01:19:06.320with Canada's biggest security threat on matters of security and law enforcement.
01:19:10.560It would seem to me if there's any matter in which Canada should be reticent
01:19:15.540about getting involved with Beijing and cooperating on,
01:19:18.600it's on matters of security and law enforcement.
01:23:10.360So he's letting Chinese police and security
01:23:13.180into our country through that MOU he signed in January.
01:23:17.820And he's also allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs
01:23:20.920into the country let's not forget that each one with their own special chinese spy software
01:23:25.580and now you can't get a deal with the united states mexico is doing it there's a threat of
01:23:32.540no more free trade at all with the united states could you still support mark carney
01:23:37.920i don't know and then there's this whole lgbtq thing which is pretty much a dead stick in the
01:23:47.540United States. Look what happened to Juno News when they called a trans woman a man in one of
01:23:54.720their stories. And this trans woman, by the way, happens to be running for mayor of the city of
01:23:59.680Hamilton. Candace Malcolm explains. Sometimes there's just a story that's so insane that it
01:24:04.860makes you question, like, has everybody in the country lost their mind? And why don't we tell
01:24:09.660the truth anymore? This story is so crazy. So we'll start with the beginning. Melanie Bennett,
01:24:15.040a reporter with Juno News broke a story of a trans identifying sex worker enters the Hamilton
01:24:20.680mayoral race. So this is a man and he is running for mayor. He identifies as a trans femme,
01:24:28.100born male. Now he identifies as a woman. We stated the fact that he's a male and therefore we use
01:24:34.920he him pronouns. We believe in the truth. We believe in telling the audience the truth,
01:24:38.560which is that this is a man. Well, he did not like that very much. He sent a very angry email
01:24:44.580to Melanie Bennett, the reporter, and as well as myself and the Juneau News desk, demanding
01:24:50.280that we not misgender him, saying that his government identification, his government
01:24:56.820ID lists him as a female, including his birth certificate, social insurance number, and
01:25:01.740his passport, all lie and say he's a woman, even though he was born man.
01:25:06.580He says that we defamed him by accurately identifying him, and he says that he's going
01:25:11.540to sue us for defamation. And here he is online complaining that we misgendered him and asking for
01:25:18.740legal advice and basically just saying that he would like to sue us. I replied back saying that
01:25:24.940our editorial policy is to tell the truth. We refuse to be bullied into submission based on
01:25:28.620woke ideological pressures. Men are not women. Men cannot become women. We refuse to go along
01:25:33.760with the delusion. Just because the CBC and government agencies go along with the delusion
01:25:37.900does not mean, you know, news will, we will continue to actually report to our audience
01:25:41.620the difference between men and women. And you, my friend, are a man. Well, he really didn't like
01:25:47.160that because he is now posting about it on social media, trying to get attention from other woke
01:25:52.320journalists to scream from the rooftop, oh my goodness, there's a media outlet that's telling
01:25:57.380the truth that refers, refuses to cower to our bullying. We must stop them. We must sue them.
01:26:03.280we must go after them. Folks, what an insane world we live in. That we can't accurately describe
01:26:08.440a man and we can't tell the difference between a man and one. We have to pretend that men can
01:26:12.700become women. They can't. And Juno News and myself and Melanie Bennett will continue to
01:26:16.920report the truth because that's what we do. We tell the truth. We report the truth.
01:26:22.880I appreciate their stance on this. Candace's stance on this. I do.
01:26:27.060I think it's brave because in Canada, what will happen with a case like this?
01:26:33.280That person, that dude who thinks he's a woman running for mayor of Hamilton, will file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Ontario, and they'll go and they'll have their hearings, and Juneau News will probably be found guilty of, what, offending this person?
01:26:54.960and they will more than likely have to pay some kind of a hefty penalty
01:27:48.140from gwen morgan net zero is dead that is the climate emergency plan
01:27:54.140dead donald trump has exposed it to the world we know that there's no climate emergency yes we want
01:28:03.080a clean environment of course we do we don't want our lakes and air polluted but we also understand
01:28:09.140that the molecule carbon dioxide is not killing the planet net zero is dead so why is mark carney
01:28:17.720still pushing it. The PM did abolish the consumer carbon tax, though only by shifting it to
01:28:25.040business. So you can't say he abolished anything. Delegates at the World Climate Conference held in
01:28:33.5401979 adopted a declaration calling on governments to foresee and prevent man-made changes to the
01:28:39.220climate that might be adverse to the well-being of humanity. It was, in effect, a declaration of
01:28:44.960war against oil and gas, the oil and gas industry. At the time, now again, this comes from
01:28:51.200Gwyn Morgan, so he refers to himself. At the time, I was the president of a Calgary-headquartered
01:28:58.220oil and gas company that I'd co-founded, as well as volunteer president of our industry's public
01:29:04.020communication vehicle, the Independent Petroleum Association of Canada. My industry colleagues were
01:29:09.740reluctant to take on the global climate elite, but I believe doing so was vital to the future
01:29:15.200of our industry, which was the bedrock of Western Canada's economy. My public commentary was, of
01:29:21.000course, condemned as evidence that I was only out to save the oil and gas industry. But it wasn't
01:29:26.640just my responsibility as an industry leader that called me to challenge that World Climate
01:29:31.820Conference declaration. I knew that extremely hot temperatures had been occurring long before
01:29:37.340the first Kyoto conference, for example. In the 1920s, European immigrants settled in the verdant
01:29:43.560grasslands of southeastern Alberta. Some of those hopeful settlers were my wife's grandparents. A
01:29:49.080decade later, rain stopped falling and temperatures soared as high as 43 degrees Celsius. Hot, dry
01:29:56.480winds blew precious topsoil away, spawning choking dust storms. The dirty 30s had arrived.
01:30:04.380Starving settlers turned to eating rabbits, gophers, and anything else edible they could scrounge.
01:30:09.560Parents took their kids to school in blinding dust storms, clutching fence lines, and breathing
01:30:14.300through bandanas, and the wind kept blowing through the long, cold Alberta winters.
01:30:20.720Contrary to net-zero zealots rhetoric, half of Canada's 20 hottest days predated that 1979
01:30:27.760World Climate Conference. World Climate Change Conferences continued during the 1980s,
01:30:33.3801990s, each featuring more alarmist rhetoric than the last. At the 1997 conference in Japan,
01:30:41.52037 industrialized countries adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which committed them
01:30:45.660to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 5% below 1990 levels by 2012. The war on fossil fuels was
01:30:53.940on in earnest, and it was destined to escalate to ridiculous heights. At the 2012 conference in
01:31:00.260Qatar, the rich countries committed to reducing emissions by at least 18% below 1990 levels by
01:31:07.4402020. The naivete of those targets is breathtaking. Countries accounting for over half of global
01:31:14.580emissions like China, Russia, India, continued their rapid growth without constraint. Virtually
01:31:20.680all other Asian, Middle Eastern, and South American nations had no intention of playing
01:31:25.020the Kyoto game. Their emissions were going nowhere but up. The 22nd climate conference was held in
01:31:32.540Mexico, November 2016, a year after Canadians elected the Trudeau government. In keeping with
01:31:39.480the new prime minister's zealous embrace of the cause, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna led
01:31:44.440a delegation of 225, one of the largest among the 100 countries assembled, that cost taxpayers a lot
01:31:52.720in emissions spewing flights. Imagine our delegation's shock when just 24 hours after
01:31:59.140the conference opened, they heard the soon-to-be 45th U.S. President Donald Trump declare that
01:32:04.120man-made global warming was a big hoax promulgated by China and other countries wanting to steal
01:32:10.100American jobs. With all the major players sidelined, who was left to save the planet
01:32:15.140from climate Armageddon? Just the EU, Japan, and Australia with a combined emission share of 15%
01:32:21.620and Canada adding our minuscule 1.6 percent. But futility didn't deter the Trudeau government
01:32:29.340from saddling Canadians with carbon taxes and taxpayer-funded wind and solar power subsidies
01:32:34.840in pursuit of its net zero holy grail. Now we have a prime minister who is trying to appear
01:32:42.060less committed to the net zero mission, but the transformation of the UN Secretary General's
01:32:47.360special envoy on climate action and finance, has been less than biblical. True, one of his first
01:32:54.220actions on taking power was to remove the despised consumer carbon tax, but that was largely sleight
01:33:00.480of hand, moving the tax out of public view onto beleaguered businesses already struggling with
01:33:05.500Trump tariffs. Meanwhile, the foundations of the net zero emissions religion are crumbling rapidly.
01:33:12.300In 2021, Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote a pro-carbon tax book entitled How to Avoid a Climate Change Disaster.
01:33:19.960But four years later, in a letter published on the eve of the most recent UN COP conference, he advised too many resources are focused on emissions and the environment.
01:33:29.280More money should go toward improving lives and curbing disease and poverty.
01:33:32.540And he called out the doomsday view of climate change, urging world leaders to make a strategic pivot and focus on issues that have the greatest impact on human welfare.
01:33:43.240Now, we know who Bill Gates is, but he did remove his endorsement for this climate nonsense.
01:33:48.440net zero fatigued canadian should be asking their prime minister why are you weakening our already
01:33:54.640struggling economy with carbon taxes and wasting taxpayer money subsidizing wind farms when it will
01:34:00.840make no perceptible difference to the global climate he owes them an answer again that from
01:34:06.460gwen morgan to the financial post so here we are paying these exorbitant taxes and even though we
01:34:15.760can't see it at the pumps because you don't see these hidden taxes, right? You just think, oh my
01:34:20.480God, gas has gone up again. We see the exorbitant prices of groceries. I talked about this last
01:34:25.940night. This is all based upon transportation costs and energy costs, which are continuing
01:34:33.000to go up with Carney's climate tax regime on the largest emitters. That's why we're paying so much
