00:15:43.800I love it. It was absolutely beautiful. If it really happened. And last night, have your Millet, the president of Argentina, got up and gave him what for, said socialism's coming right to the Western world.
00:15:56.180We need to do something about it. He said those words. So that was a great thing. But that video, I believe, was planted by the World Economic Forum.
00:52:53.580All they have to do is continue to allow people to get brainwashed by the constant misinformation thrown at us by the media, perhaps through the Canadian behavioral society or behavioral sciences department and let us do it to ourselves.
00:53:10.940You know, look at how many people voted for an for the NDP here in Alberta and they elected an NDP government there.
00:53:19.360The NDP constitution literally says that they want society to return or go to communism in not so many words, because that's the only way we can live.
00:53:28.960They say that personal property is not sustainable. They say that personal homeownership businesses owned by private corporate entities are unsustainable.
00:53:36.640that's all in the ndp constitution and people vote for it we are asking for our own extinction0.80
00:53:41.840because we're too dumb to realize what's coming the environment minister of this country proudly0.90
00:53:48.300stood up in the house of commons during question period about a month ago before christmas and he0.96
00:53:52.860said i am a proud socialist yeah and nobody said anything except for guys like you and i it's
00:53:59.340amazing i got into a conversation let's call it on x twitter a couple of days ago and even
00:54:05.980some today about a federal election. We've all seen the polls. We see that Justin Trudeau is
00:54:12.860facing annihilation in the next election, if we have one. He's down at 25 percent. Polyev and the
00:54:19.960CPC is up around 40 percent. The NDP is in their standard 18 to 19 percent. And then you've got
00:54:25.420the PPC around four, maybe 5%. And I agree with the PPC platform, but I'm a realist. And I don't
00:54:36.020think that they have a hope in hell of winning even a seat, nevermind government, or even enough
00:54:41.980MPs to influence a minority government. So that's out. As far as I'm concerned, there is no political
00:54:49.180solution or is there i think what needs to happen is is a poly of government for four years which
00:54:55.520would give us time to develop our own thing that comes from the people but as you say too many
00:55:01.160wins and people get soft they roll over they want to go back to their real lives what can we do if
00:55:07.020there's not going to be an event there's not going to be a moment where people all rise up together
00:55:12.220i mean let's remember you know that freedom convoy came together because we were sick and tired of
00:55:17.520being pushed around and told what we could and couldn't do in our own homes by our provincial
00:55:22.600and federal governments. We'd had enough. But there isn't really any one thing we can hang
00:55:29.580our hats on right now. I know there's a movement afoot to start another million person march in the
00:55:34.760next couple of months. But that to me is going to be shipped with a toe tag too, because people
00:55:42.180just can't get up for it. So what can we do then? Just continue to encourage people to get
00:55:48.720more involved in the electoral process? Or what? I'm going to make people really angry with my
00:55:56.700response. So before I do that, what were those numbers again, the polling numbers?
00:56:01.720Polling numbers on average, because this comes from 338 Canada. So if we're talking federal,
00:56:07.420polyav cpc is up around 40 percent liberals in at 25 percent ndp around 18 or 19 then you've got
00:56:15.620the block standard six or seven percent you've got the greens at five and then you've got the
00:56:20.480ppc anywhere between three and five percent so if that's the way the election went tomorrow we
00:56:25.160would have a justin trudeau government no no no no we'd have a cpc no we have government sure we
00:56:31.580would if you add the ndp and the liberal government polling numbers together you beat the the cpc
00:56:37.420Yeah, but that's popular vote together. We're talking about votes in writings, right? So you know the way our system works. I mean, you get enough votes and you get enough writings.
00:56:48.020The projection is that the CPC would have a super majority of 200 seats in a 343-seat House of Commons because they're adding five seats this year, four of which are thought to go to the CPC because they're in rural areas or in Alberta.
00:57:06.080one in quebec would go to the liberals so it's going to be a massacre in this next election
00:57:13.040pierre polly maybe that's the black swan event we're going to see who knows
00:57:17.200maybe trudeau wins another minority by the skin of his teeth what can we do do we have to get
00:57:24.440involved at the local level is that where it starts first of all i'm not 100 convinced that
00:57:29.840is going to be a CPC government just because um you know I think it's going to be I think it's
00:57:36.460going to be a lot closer than what people think people are going to be buying into the NDP lies
00:57:41.000which they already are that people in Alberta actually believed that if Daniel Smith won the
00:57:45.600election that she was going to sell our hospitals and they'd have to pay to go see a doctor even
00:57:49.740though it's enshrined in our constitution that that can't happen they believe that and so I'm
00:57:55.440not 100% convinced that Polivar would win. Now, as to what we do, the awareness stuff is great.
00:58:04.840Going on that convoy was the most incredible experience of my life, short of watching my
00:58:08.900kids be born. Also, that was the most horrendous time of my life, but another story. But it's time
00:58:16.660to get to work. Seriously, it's time to get to work. We spend so much time worrying about where
00:58:23.320we're going to convoy next or where we're going to go have a camp out next and we're ignoring
00:58:29.200the reality that we need to do some work and get involved and engage municipal level
00:58:38.840and the provincial level for me i don't have a lot of faith in the federal government in this
00:58:46.740country ever ever giving the west a fair shake and that could be a whole nother show i'm happy
00:58:54.180to go go down that uh trail with you sometime but the reality is separation i actually you know what
00:59:00.640i mean i wouldn't mind getting into that just touching on it at least i was thinking about
00:59:04.580that today if there is another liberal government in this country the west is going to be screwed
00:59:08.880over again and i think that at that point it should be at least talked about in a serious way
00:59:14.140that that would put the wind in the sails for sure yeah i think that's maybe the event we need
00:59:19.920the reason i mention it is because uh right from right from the start right from when we
00:59:26.540joined confederation all the western provinces and colonies when we joined confederation
00:59:31.200clifford sifton actually let the cat out of the bag in 1904 when he gave a speech
00:59:35.760in where the hell was he i think he might have been in manitoba saskatchewan anyway i'm
00:59:42.060paraphrasing here but he basically said uh the all canadian patriots being the people in central
00:59:47.880canada and the east wish for the uh the the prairie provinces and the west to join this
00:59:54.140confederation so that the great trade of the prairies could be used to enrich the lives of
00:59:59.360those in the east and build up their factories like never before something like that so he really
01:00:03.700did say we want you guys to join so we can use your wealth to enrich our lives here and nothing
01:00:08.840has changed the way our constitution is designed the way our political structure is in this country
01:00:13.700the west has never had an effective voice um preston manning tried to to remedy that with
01:00:20.100the reform party with the slogan the west wants in we want a seat at the table we want to help
01:00:24.720chart the course of this country it has never happened the vote ends at the manitoba border
01:00:28.720central eastern canada have always controlled the uh the chart of the course of the country
01:00:33.240and there's nothing we can do about it in Alberta our premier and Albertans for the most part whether
01:00:39.860they know it yet or not want the sovereignties afforded to us under the constitution and we
01:00:44.900want them now and one of the things that's on the table right now that we're working on is an Alberta
01:00:49.780pension plan now people might say well what's wrong with the Canada pension plan let me count
01:00:54.920the ways the Canada pension plan is horrendous and from an Alberta perspective that we contribute
01:01:02.340on average $3 billion more to CPP than our pensioners receive. That's just the way it is.
01:01:09.060The province of Alberta commissioned a study done by LifeWorks Consulting, and that LifeWorks
01:01:15.940report, using the current formula within the federal legislation regarding pension plans,
01:01:21.240has determined that Alberta has contributed $353 billion more to the Canada pension plan than our
01:01:28.680our pensioners have received that piece of legislation says if a province withdraws
01:01:33.180this is how it's calculated and the fund has to pay that back to the province so
01:01:37.740now we've really poked a hornet's nest here because we want to control our own pension
01:01:42.660why is it because um it's going to magically be better well yes it will magically be better
01:01:48.580but the key is albertans have a voice and we can determine who governs our province if we don't
01:01:56.220like what's going on with their pension plan we can use our voices get it become civically engaged
01:02:01.820we can uh we can vote them out or vote them in and have those things change if albertans or people
01:02:08.780from manitoba or saskatchewan don't like the pension plan the canada pension plan they cannot
01:02:14.040get the federal government to change it to benefit them just like equalization we can't get the
01:02:19.300federal government to change these things to benefit us because right from the very beginning
01:02:24.700the idea was that the western provinces would enrich the lives of the east okay so if you want
01:02:30.440to talk about a political solution the first thing we need to do in every province across this
01:02:34.660country is we need to take back every sovereign jurisdiction that we have under the current
01:02:39.040constitution pensions policing immigration uh provincial tax collection and there's one more
01:02:47.460i always forget what it is but we need to take control of those things and stop allowing the
01:02:53.440federal government to pretend they're a national government. We are a confederation in this
01:02:59.260country. The provinces are not ruled by a federal government. The federal government has their areas
01:03:05.560that they're supposed to work in. We have ours. We are sovereign provinces. We have sovereignty
01:03:11.120in almost all areas and the federal government approaches on it all the time. With the climate
01:03:15.620change BS, with the health BS, they just bribe the provinces to abdicate their health sovereignty
01:03:20.780by offering them billions of dollars which most provinces did right so we need to take it back to
01:03:27.260our provinces and we need to start saying no we're going to grow up and do these things on our own
01:03:31.320and we're not going to let the federal government chart our course forward anymore we want to live
01:03:36.140by the boundaries of the confederation which literally means against federation so that that
01:03:41.300is the first step and that those five things um that actually lays the foundation and paves the
01:03:47.560way for an independent province, any province, should the federal government go down a path
01:03:52.760that we don't want to go. Let me ask you this, because you're in Alberta, and Alberta is a very,
01:03:57.720it's a rich province. It's got oil, it's got money, it's got 5 million people. It's probably
01:04:05.140the second most important economic engine in this country, and definitely number one when it comes
01:04:10.460to natural resources. So it's easy to talk that way coming from there. I'm in Manitoba. This is
01:04:16.260a have not province this province gets the second most money each year in federal transfer payments
01:04:22.520because we just can't afford ourselves apparently in manitoba and we can't seem to develop anything
01:04:28.060here in manitoba and we've got more people on the dole per capita in manitoba than anywhere else in
01:04:33.880the country what do you do with manitoba what do you do with a province like that i mean that's
01:04:38.700a really good question it's never going to stand up on its own well i don't know about never
01:04:43.980Alberta didn't stand up on its own until, as a matter of fact, people don't know this,
01:04:48.000but Quebec propped up Alberta for years when we went through some really, really tough times
01:04:58.220Innovate, get rid of government regulation, allow, encourage industry to be there.
01:05:03.340There's so many things that can happen when government gets out of the way.
01:05:08.400It's amazing what happens when government gets out of the way.
01:05:11.600So you take control of your own futures in your own provinces and you deal with those issues that we all face.
01:05:19.960Well, a have not province can become a have province very quickly.
01:05:23.020But let me just let me just point this out for a minute.
01:05:25.540As an Albertan, I recognize that probably most of the people in this country feel very similar to the way we do.
01:05:33.180We might not all believe in the same things, but we probably believe that we don't want to be tyrannized by a federal government or any government for that matter.
01:05:39.380so if that's the case um and that's what's occurring in this unbalanced relationship
01:05:45.800we have with the federal government it becomes apparent that one of the participants or more
01:05:50.820has to stand up and say enough is enough alberta like you say um we are a half province we could
01:05:57.540put a glass dome over this province and the only thing we would lack is a new iphone every year
01:06:04.260seriously we have everything we need here we can be isolated you need a seaport is what you need
01:06:09.360me a seaport you've got to get those goods out tomorrow right well our biggest trading partner
01:06:16.540is the united states we export 97 of our goods and services to the united states and not only that
01:06:22.060um right now i get that all the time people say well alberta's landlocked okay well first of all
01:06:27.580um does access to tidewater ensure that you're going to be prosperous venezuela has uh 50 of
01:06:33.720its country is on the on the ocean and how they have ports everywhere are they prosperous sweden
01:06:37.920has no ports at all they don't have any oil and they're landlocked are they prosperous well they
01:06:42.680sure as hell are so you know being landlocked number one doesn't guarantee or or that you're
01:06:47.360going to be prosperous or not number two the almighty dollar and reality is always the uh the
01:06:54.020the balancing factor when it comes to economics and trade it is mutually beneficial for two parties
01:07:01.100to trade with each other so let's just say for instance alberta decided hey we've had enough of0.99
01:07:05.620this bullshit. We're going to be independent. We still love you guys on either side, but we're0.99
01:07:09.820just going to govern ourselves. Why would we stop trading? Why would BC stop trading? Why would
01:07:15.100the Eastern provinces say, hey, we don't want to trade with Alberta or put sanctions on us or
01:07:21.700things like that? That's just not how trade works these days. And if it happened, well, okay, BC,
01:07:26.400you don't want to trade with us. Well, you don't want our oil that you refine in Burnaby and make
01:07:30.96090% of the jet fuel for this, the Western provinces. Okay. Then get it somewhere else,
01:07:35.520you know? So that, that whole idea doesn't, it doesn't really hold any water. And even more than
01:07:40.740that, people don't realize right now, we are policy locked. We don't have ports in this,
01:07:48.020in Alberta. We can move our goods and services if we were allowed to, but there's policies that
01:07:53.000prevent our goods and services from moving either way. And when I, that's oil and oil products,
01:07:57.180Right. So we're policy locked. If we were under not under the boot of the federal government, we wouldn't have those policies landlocking our products here in this province.
01:08:05.660interesting um when you say that money is king obviously talk about trade why would they not
01:08:12.600want to trade with us it seems as though politics is becoming more important than the almighty
01:08:18.840dollar these last few years how many times have you heard about an event that won't be accepted
01:08:25.180by a certain venue because of the guest who may be appearing i mean i'm trying to do it right now
01:08:30.800yeah i saw that happen just yesterday somebody was telling me they were trying to get a venue
01:08:35.420in Saskatchewan somewhere, but they couldn't because the management said, we don't like who
01:08:40.580you're bringing in. So we have to scramble around. So the DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion,
01:08:46.980is playing a very large role. Why would Barack Obama cancel an entire pipeline that was going
01:08:52.520to service his country with natural gas from Canada? It doesn't make any sense, unless of
01:08:58.920course his pockets are being lined and no doubt they were and probably still are. But that's what
01:09:03.700i'm saying now it's politically speaking and i'm not even talking about politics i'm talking about
01:09:09.220you know biases here they're allowing biases to get in the way of business like larry fink
01:09:16.780from blackrock will take away he will actually sell shares in a large corporation let's call it
01:09:23.940disney unless disney plays ball with his philosophy which is selling girls boys toys and selling boys
01:09:32.320dresses i mean the world is upside down so every piece of logic that you just brought up well i
01:09:39.300happen to agree with those people don't look at it like that it's a funhouse mirror my friend
01:09:44.520it's crazy but ideology can you can only go so far basing your actions and your policy on
01:09:53.700ideological fallacy eventually as my friend tanner today says reality will slap you in the
01:09:59.980face, and we just got slapped in the face in Alberta. When the NDP government was in power
01:10:04.960here, they decided they're going to be so virtuous, and they're going to be leaders on the global
01:10:09.800stage, and they're going to phase out Alberta's coal power plants early. Now, I don't know if you
01:10:14.580know this, but Alberta coal plants were the cleanest coal plants in the world. Our emissions
01:10:18.760were extremely low. We were super innovative, technologically advanced. We made the most out
01:10:25.080of our resource. We did it responsibly and ethically, and we produced cheap power for
01:10:29.120Albertans. Well, it wasn't good enough for the NDP, so they phased that out. They cost Albertans
01:10:33.540to the tune of, I think, $1.8 billion that we had to pay. Our ratepayers are paying. I'm paying that
01:10:39.880on my bill every month to pay off that debt for phasing that out early. That was an ideological
01:10:45.620based policy. It didn't have basis in reality. And now what's happened, and this isn't just the
01:10:52.700NDP's fault, the Conservative government has a part to play in this as well. We just had a period
01:10:56.880in Alberta where we were seeing temperatures up to minus 50. Minus 51, I think, was the coldest
01:11:02.060place in Alberta last week. Well, when it's minus 50, you need some power and you need some serious
01:11:08.580power. We had an emergency alert issued by the government of Alberta that the Alberta Energy,
01:11:14.860whatever it is, was saying we're at a critical risk of rolling blackouts and brownouts across
01:11:21.180Alberta people didn't reduce their consumption in Alberta we have all hell for a basement we have
01:11:27.840so much natural gas in this province that we could literally heat our homes for free export gas all
01:11:35.140over the world and still have as much money in royalties as we do right now we have that much
01:11:40.200energy and we had to cook in the microwave because an ideological ideologically based policy
01:11:48.420kicked our ass it's just like uh the the climate guilbeau's no more gasoline powered vehicles
01:11:57.480i love electric vehicles they're awesome they're fun to drive it's like a unlimited torque curve0.98
01:12:04.180however it's not sustainable to replace everything with them we had rolling blackouts using um i can't
01:12:12.520shoot, I just saw the numbers today. The number of megawatts we use per day in Alberta
01:12:19.060that we had to shut off our ovens and stuff and microwave food instead is less than what it would
01:12:25.980take to charge EVs if we replaced 60% of our fleet in Alberta with EVs.
01:12:33.580So what happens if we're all trying to charge cars on a grid that can't support it? Reality
01:12:40.360is going to slap a lot of people in the face, right? So that's my long answer to your question
01:12:46.240is there's going to be some pain while we wait or while reality starts slapping us and wakes people
01:12:53.840up to say, hey, maybe it's not a good idea to say we're not going to drive the vehicles
01:12:57.940that work in the winter. Maybe we're not going to phase out exploitation, production, and export
01:13:06.080of the very resource that enriched human flourishing and prosperity more than anything
01:13:11.040else across history, save the whales, save lives, expanded medicine, extended, uh, every,
01:13:18.980everything, you know, so that that's really the answer is that eventually reality slaps
01:13:35.780Where do I go? How do I sign? I mean, we've got a petition right now that Lesley Lewis has to submit to the House of Commons by February 7th to remove Canada from the United Nations because of that World Health Organization treaty they want to sign in May, among other things.
01:13:52.620that's got 85 000 signatures right now the petition to remove or at least have a non-confidence vote
01:13:59.680in the house of commons got 387 000 how do we wake people up and get them involved
01:14:06.800i see these things as kind of uh it's like the tide right something happens the government does0.85
01:14:17.580something stupid people suffer this tide of people that want to get involved comes in the tide raises
01:14:23.560and there's this big swell and then something happens and people are like oh we fixed it a1.00
01:14:28.940little bit and it goes it ebbs it goes back out i think the only thing we can do is prepare
01:14:34.800so that when there's that big like that big flow of tide that big movement happens we can harness
01:14:43.620the energy of that and be ready to do something with it had we been ready with the alberta
01:14:49.200prosperity project and the idea of a referendum on independence um during the early phases of
01:14:56.020the covid lockdowns things might be different right now um but the reality is there's a lot
01:15:03.140of people they just aren't going to wake up and then there's there's actually two groups of people
01:15:07.840There's the woke left mob who think that all of these things are great and they're not going to wake up until their kids are going hungry or they're freezing in their homes because their solar panels aren't working.
01:15:20.500But we also, I'm sorry if I'm going to offend you with this, we also have the awake right mob where they're, I got to say it, but I'm going to get slammed.
