00:13:28.400the entire left is going to be pushing back on this. So this means the NDP and they're going to
00:13:33.740get their union buddies to go ahead and push back on this. The federal government is going to push
00:13:39.060back on this. All of the media, the left wing corporate media is going to be pushing back on
00:13:45.360this. And he said they might possibly spend billions of dollars in marketing against Alberta
00:13:52.100sovereignty simply because they know it would be more expensive to lose Alberta from Canada's
00:13:56.540economy than it would to spend that kind of money keeping it trying to convince people not to sign
00:14:03.620that petition trying to convince people to say hey you know what it's better off that we stay
00:14:08.060in canada like staying an abusive relationship so here's a cbc piece today that was written by a guy
00:14:15.700called jason markusoff who is a cbc reporter slash analyst out of calgary and jason says
00:14:23.340Daniel Smith's reform is this. We're talking about Bill 54 here is nudging Alberta separation vote
00:14:29.940from if toward when UCP bill slashes total of signatures needed to force referendum activists
00:14:36.800were already planning. And yeah, it has been in the planning stages. But once again, there's still
00:14:42.040a lot of disagreement. It's almost like if you guys have ever seen the movie or sorry, the miniseries
00:14:46.600John Adams starring Paul Giamatti as John Adams, the second president of the United States,
00:14:52.860They go through all of the hoops that they needed to go through in order to form a new nation separate from Britain, the United Kingdom.
00:15:04.020In this period piece, obviously, in the 1770s and the 1780s, it's remarkable how much fighting there was, at least according to this particular depiction, between states.
00:15:14.520Some states didn't want to fight against the UK.
00:24:01.620That's why Smith announced its latest constitutional challenge against the federal emissions policy on Thursday, this time the clean electricity regulations.
00:24:09.700The Alberta NDP is far from persuaded, of course, it's calling Smith a separatist herself.
00:24:16.060Look at how Daniel Smith deals with the NDP in the legislature.
00:24:19.300We will fight to bring prices down. Why won't this premier commit to getting good deals for Albertans?
00:24:24.480Mr. Speaker, we're well on our way with the NDP having only received 6.4% of the vote
00:24:32.200yesterday. That's a complete repudiation of all of the extreme policies that have been
00:24:37.640advanced by the Liberal NDP coalition. And I think it opens the door for us to have a
00:24:42.400constructive relationship about a more moderate approach so that we can develop pipelines,
00:24:46.860we can develop rights of way, we can end some of these destructive policies, and we can
00:24:51.480move forward on addressing issues of energy security affordability and a reasonable plan
00:24:56.240to reduce emissions over a time frame that I believe our business will be able to meet
00:25:00.900in other words it's like Danielle is telling that NDP MLA just sit down sweetheart we're
00:25:08.760going to take care of everything don't worry about it here here's a lollipop
00:25:12.240however they go on to say in this particular story even flirting with a referendum to separate
00:25:23.160kills investment in the economy and damages relationships with first nations people we'll
00:25:27.700get to that in just a second that came from ndp mla christina gray it's not going to help it's
00:25:33.380going to make us the laughing stock of canada well i i highly doubt that
00:25:37.860i mean the laughing stock to who anyway the laurentian elitists the left-wing corporate
00:25:46.480media who cares multiple first nations chiefs have warned smith to tamp down separate the
00:25:53.860separatist threats because alberta is on the land of treaty six seven and eight those treaties with
00:25:59.320the crown and alberta lacks the authority to interfere with or negate those treaties
00:26:04.500Troy Knowlton, chief of the Pecani Nation, said,
00:26:07.940proceeding down a path towards separation cannot be undertaken
00:26:10.580without the consent of Alberta's First Nations.
00:26:12.900Smith hasn't done anything to separate yet.
