00:05:49.120Way back into the 90s, I started the Alberta Independence Party when I was in my 20s.
00:05:54.020I got a lot of provincial involvement, though I was a volunteer and a young reformer with the Reform Party all the way back when Manning was running it.
00:06:00.760and got involved with what was the Alberta Alliance and that party provincially morphed into the Wildrose Alliance
00:06:07.680and then turned into the Wildrose Party, became the official opposition, split the vote, led to Rachel Notley coming in
00:06:14.500and then merged and created the UCP, which is now discontent through Jason Kenney out
00:06:19.820and the usual Alberta Hornets nests of politics continue.
00:06:23.760So what does it look like in terms of the leadership race out there?
00:06:26.940I'm hearing out here that Danielle Smith is by far and away the candidate to be.
00:06:31.180I believe so. She hit the ground running. I don't think the candidates really expected she would be able to take such a commanding lead. Most of the people thought she was a spent force in politics. And I have to admit, if it was a year ago, I would have said, no, Danielle's not, you know, she'll do great in journalism or shows are great. But politics, for your viewers who aren't familiar with the Alberta politics, there was quite that act.1.00
00:06:55.600some people see it as treachery when she crossed the floor when she was leading the Wildrose Party
00:06:59.400and really decimated the party. And I didn't think people would get over that. But that really
00:07:04.300hasn't been a top issue with her leadership. She came out with that sovereignty act she's pushing.0.98
00:07:08.780And she's just by the way the other candidates are responding to her, you can tell their internals
00:07:14.140are saying she's got a pretty strong lead. It seems to me that there's a lot of I don't want
00:07:20.880to call them socialists. They're more Marxists, really. It seems as though there's a lot of NDP
00:07:25.460influence that's made its way into right parties, not just in Alberta, but all across the country.
00:07:31.160If you look at Pierre Polyev, who his deputy leader is, it seems to me that that is an actual
00:07:38.980tactic being used by the left. What are your feelings on that? Well, I mean, traditionally
00:07:43.600in Alberta, it had been. I mean, when we'd had the progressive conservatives in for over 40 years,
00:07:48.840though if a socialist or basically yeah you know soft marxist i guess would be the nicest way to
00:07:54.200put it wanted to get anywhere near the levers of power they had to do it through that party they
00:07:59.000would infiltrate campaign right and act left once they got in and we're seeing that battle kind of
00:08:05.760happening i think also with the ucp the old progressive conservatives the the the left wing
00:08:11.500of the party is tried to entrench itself i mean it's a recently merged party and they're still
00:08:16.220battling from within. And you see that within that leadership race right now too. The Sovereignty
00:08:20.360Act, can you explain that to the viewers that don't know a lot about it? And I believe it's
00:08:24.560important. You may have heard my opening on that. I think that if Alberta is able to enact such an
00:08:29.880act, then other provinces are going to look at that and go, hmm, I think we can probably do that
00:08:35.020too. Yeah, well, it's an act that Daniel Smith proposed. And I mean, there's part of the
00:08:41.160discussion. It hasn't been fleshed out. They haven't exactly written the act. So some of the
00:08:44.820critique is pretty speculative on what it'd be about. But I mean, the basis of it is pretty
00:08:48.960clear. If there was any incursions from Ottawa upon things that Alberta considered are within
00:08:53.920their provincial jurisdiction, this act would empower the province to refuse to enact any of
00:08:59.280those legislations if they came in out here. If it was property rights, which we feel are
00:09:03.540provincial, and they came for, say, a handgun seizure, we'd say, no, we're not going to help
00:09:08.700you with that. Our police force, if we moved on to a police force or something, we're not going
00:09:12.380to take part in that, or we will take it to court. But we won't recognize legislations we feel step
00:09:17.080on our constitutional authority. Some people are saying it's outside of the Constitution.
00:09:22.600But I guess, you know, there's always going to be interpretations. Lawyers, I mean, they make a good
00:09:26.140living fighting about what every constitutional aspect means or doesn't mean. But at least the
00:09:30.680basis of what that act is supposed to be is to say, we're going to stand up for ourselves within
00:09:35.000the Constitution and not take any more guff from the government and they're going to have that
00:09:39.400legislated? Well, the way I see it is it reverses the onus and it puts the onus on the federal
00:09:45.020government to say, well, we're going to take you to court if you don't follow our edicts here.
00:09:49.380Whereas in the past, it's been we're going to have to enforce these laws. The province would
00:09:54.320just knuckle under and enforce these laws. And then they would be the ones who had to take the
00:09:58.340federal government to court. And those processes can take two, three, five years even. And all that
00:10:04.840while the act is in place and it becomes such a staple after five years of court activity
00:10:10.740that it stays in anyway. So this, the way I see it is just a mirror image of what the situation
00:10:16.920currently is. Yeah. Well, and I think it's taken the game and I think Albertans were ready for
00:10:21.140that. They're frustrated. They want to take the battle to Ottawa and quit playing defensive all
00:10:25.300the time, waiting until they smack at us and then responding, as you said, in the courts, which
00:10:29.160tie it up. And even if we win by then, it's the damage is done. Things like the carbon tax or the
00:10:34.700the tanker bands or the c69 i mean the list is long and every province gets to deal with these
00:10:40.360a lot of what alberta you know asks for we always get you know in trouble for are things that quebec
00:10:46.240and ontario are already doing it's just somehow it's evil when alberta proposes it and uh these
00:10:51.380things are not uh unprecedented or unreasonable to ask for the sovereignty act actually provides
00:10:57.100you know again just just more of a showing some teeth i guess you could say and people are calling
00:11:01.660get a secessionist move but i mean as a guy myself who certainly worked in the secessionist circles
00:11:06.160for a long time uh no if this act is successful what it does actually is it quells the people
00:11:11.460who want out it shows that the province can defend itself within confederation and that we you know
00:11:16.840can can assert ourselves it would actually put separatism on hold in alberta well you know that's
00:11:22.620an interesting question is there still an appetite for secession in alberta and if so what might that
00:11:28.460look like? Well, the standards run a number of polls on it, of course, and other publications
00:11:35.240have. And it's been kind of interesting. There's a 25% support that seems to be kind of solid. I
00:11:40.380mean, issue by issue, you might be a period of rage and people will be as high as 40 or times
00:11:44.700are a little good and it'll get as low as 15. But there seems to be a 25% core. And the term
00:11:50.400is independence, though. And that could look a number of ways. One of the polls we ran, the
00:11:54.500the highest one was well would you support independence if it included bc and saskatchewan
00:11:59.200manitoba you know that one gets the strongest support and that got quite high with a number
00:12:02.860of people but some people think it should be a province on its own there's a lot of questions
00:12:06.320but the discontent is definitely there and a lot of people concluding that we just can't seem to
00:12:11.680fix things within the canadian system and the only alternative is to is to go out i i don't think
00:12:16.820it's anywhere near a winning referendum vote at this point or anything like that but people should
00:12:21.540pay attention on how solid and determined that core of support for it is out in alberta i mean
00:12:25.760i've been watching it for a lot of years and i've never seen it so solidified like that it's not
00:12:29.860just a moment by moment rage it's people who have resigned themselves to it well we're seeing you
00:12:34.560know justin trudeau it seems like wherever he goes he gets booed he got booed in uh the uk the other
00:12:39.600night i'm not sure if it was because he was caught on video singing bohemian rhapsody the night before
00:12:45.240the queen's funeral procession or if it's just because of general discontent among britons in
00:12:50.960uh in the uk because of his support for the world economic forum but christia freeland was out in
00:12:57.020your neck of the woods recently uh and and word has it that she is trying to uh take a very large
00:13:03.500chunk of land out there and turn it into a game preserve for elk i believe it was thus rendering
00:13:09.260that portion of land completely unusable for oil companies or farmers is there any truth to that
00:13:14.760have you heard anything about that i've heard about it but i haven't seen any formal policy
00:13:19.600towards it sounds like it's still in an idea balloon stage and uh again it's uh yeah you know
00:13:25.580as ania's pointing out you know with caribou as well and and we do have woodland caribou that
00:13:30.280have had you know they've been threatened they've had some challenges but i worked in the oil field
00:13:34.100for a long time there was uh we've been able to work around it i mean the nice thing with caribou
00:13:38.920is they're migratory with with mitigation you can do things to uh reduce the impact as much as
00:13:44.140possible but uh yeah you know you can see that being a selling point again and and they like
00:13:50.960playing those politics of division because we look terrible if we say hey we don't we don't
00:13:54.280support this it's going to hurt us well of course they're going to play it and i want to look those
00:13:57.120those nasty albertans want to kill off the caribou and and uh uh you know drill their wells all over
00:14:01.960the place i could see it setting up for another uh just another uh divide and conquer political
00:14:07.100tactic which is what the the liberals tend to do pretty much all of the time cory morgan of the
00:14:12.940Western Standard is our guest. Corey, there's an article today in the Globe and Mail. This is not
00:14:18.380a resource I use a lot, to be honest with you, because I just find their journalism. And I want
00:14:25.480to get to this with you later on, the state of journalism in Canada today. But these guys did
00:14:31.400publish this article today. It says, Canada to make the Arrive Can app optional, dropping the
00:14:36.760vaccine requirement at the border by September 30th, although they will be holding on to the
00:14:41.840mask mandate. Why do you think now are they doing it? I mean, the court case that's actually heading
00:14:47.600to court tomorrow blew out of the water any scientific, you know, plans that the government
00:14:55.880had for enacting this whole thing in the first place. Basically, it was all about politics and
00:15:02.200bureaucracy. So why now? Why do you think now? What factors led to this? Yeah, because I wrote
00:15:08.980about that actually at the start of august some of those court documents were coming out with uh
00:15:13.400i think her name was little she was a civil servant uh in health and it was exposed that
00:15:17.540the reasons they even brought all that in were political it had nothing to do with health
00:15:20.720but why now i i think uh again they're scared of of polyev they they're they're realizing that
00:15:27.840they they're losing some ground i mean you know as you said earlier trudeau still seems to carry
00:15:32.800strong support i don't know what it takes to shake that guy loose but they've got to threaten
00:15:36.740on the horizon like they haven't seen. And plus, it's just getting harder and harder and harder
00:15:40.880to justify that. We're one of the last outliers on the planet holding on to these kinds of
00:15:45.560legislations and restrictions, and they just have no more choice. There's also court cases that are
00:15:51.860now starting to pile up, and they're in provincial courts right now. But I believe the case of Brian
00:15:57.040Peckford, I had him on a few months back, and he was talking about having his case move directly
00:17:52.840Their whole focus is taking social media campaigns on the left and making them trend like this, because as much as your average citizen doesn't watch those trends, media do watch those trends and influential people watch those trends and they have an impact.
00:18:05.800And it was just been fantastic to see a tweet organically take off like that, that Marty up north did.
00:18:13.040And it just went wild and it continues to.
00:18:16.500And these sorts of things shake them up.
00:18:18.000This was something happening on what they consider traditionally their turf.
00:18:21.300and it showed a lot of outrage i mean it was a a great campaign as we were seeing for people who
00:18:27.300weren't watching it they were very just personal things people explaining why they're not an
00:18:32.820extremist yet they're considered extremist you know hey i'm a 37 year old father of six who's
00:18:38.440worked all my life never committed a crime but because of my medical choices trudeau thinks i'm
00:18:42.860extremist who has to be dealt with and there were so many of those tweets and it humanized it it
00:18:47.920It wasn't the people they want to, you know, marginalize and claim are crazy extremists, fringe people.
00:18:54.780No, these were real people behind the keyboard, rational people, and it just snowballed.
00:19:00.160It was fantastic to watch, and you can see why it made them sweat.
00:19:03.340I heard somebody mention, I think it was yesterday or the day before, that this campaign on Twitter, the Trudeau Must Go hashtag,
00:19:10.600has had as much impact, if not more, than the Freedom Convoy back in January and February.
00:19:17.920I don't know if I'd go that far. I mean, it's had quite an impact. There's no doubt about it. As I said, you can't underestimate social media and how it impacts the general trends of policymakers and media members and the public at large. But I mean, the convoy itself was unprecedented. I mean, we've never seen anything like that.
00:19:34.560We haven't seen Canadians, typically passive Canadians, get up and cross a country like that and put up with so much in a peaceful protest.
00:19:46.360Again, it didn't seem to swing the needle overall, I guess, if you're looking at full public support one way or another when it came to restrictions.
00:19:52.380But it shook the government up and let people know authoritarians have limits.
00:19:58.560So I wouldn't say it's surpassed the convoys' impact yet.
00:20:02.380What would you say about the state of journalism in Canada today? And I'm not talking about the Western Standard or True North, TNC.news or Rebel News or shows like mine. And we seem to be sprinkled with shows like this all across the country now. Shows like this popping up and getting fairly good support based upon, I think, people actually moving away from this left-wing corporate media. But why have they gone to such extremes, do you think, to protect Trudeau and his minions?
00:20:32.260Yeah, well, I mean, times have changed.
00:22:43.700And it'll take, you know, there's going to be ups and downs, but I think media will improve and come along and settle into something good.
00:22:52.080You know, I mean, people will find a way to share information in an accurate way.
00:22:54.780Well, I hope you're right. But, you know, Bill C-11 is on the horizon and this is going through the Senate right now. I believe it's going through some committees there. They may try to make some amendments to it or they may just pass it out. Right. Or they may reject it basically to me.
00:23:09.040And I've read this bill and it's it's ridiculous in its length and scope that it could actually shut, you know, shows like mine, even networks like yours down based upon certain criteria the government comes up with or the CRTC or an outside committee that has yet to be formed comes up with says, yeah, I'm sorry you don't meet this criteria.
00:23:31.360You're no longer allowed on the Internet or you are allowed on the Internet, but we're going to downgrade your reach so nobody ever sees your show.
00:23:39.040I don't know if that is even challengeable in court.
00:23:43.920And, you know, as long as they allow us on the platforms, I don't think they would have a problem defending that case in court in terms of, you know, freedom of expression.
00:23:54.580The liberals, they want to throttle it.
00:30:19.360think he was a great prime minister, but I can respect him. He at least had some intellect to
00:30:24.080him. But Trudeau, I don't know what the appeal is in that, man, but it's real, and it's there,
00:30:29.680And as you said, in those polls, I mean, no matter how many of these embarrassing stunts he does, no matter how many stupid policies he releases, there's a core of support that will not let go on that guy.
00:30:40.180Okay, so we have to get to the next topic here, man.
00:30:42.600This is, I'm sure you've seen the photo.
00:30:45.660I'm going to bring the picture up here.
00:30:47.780I think I know where you're going already.
00:38:47.720And I wish they wouldn't do that because it undercuts the people who really are beholden to that group.
00:38:53.500Or the ones who really at least follow the ideology of that group.
00:38:57.400uh i think again the public exposure of who and what they are though has has dispowered them a
00:39:03.400little bit i mean even though they're always in the open they were always under the radar
00:39:06.660and this last few years no people do see uh who and what they are and i don't think uh any at
00:39:12.540least somewhat conservative leaning uh politicians for example are going to put up with uh any of
00:39:17.340their members attending any more of those conferences and showing up at those things
00:39:20.100they've lost that ability to draw them in like they used to but they're not going away you've
00:39:24.560seen the video of uh of klaus schwab talking about having uh infiltrated at least half of the
00:39:31.020cabinet of canada right yeah and did that send a shiver up your spine it does you know and it's
00:39:39.180believable but at the same time i don't necessarily know what to believe out of that man either i mean
00:39:43.000i don't think highly of him i i know he wants to infiltrate that many and i know that the liberals
00:39:48.120looking at the moves their cabinet does it's very possible he has it without doubt but at the same
00:39:54.680time he could be exaggerating but it's right in front of us and i it seems they've moved on almost
00:40:01.940to the point of trolling i mean now that they've been exposed for what they are he just ups the
00:40:05.900the talk even further as you said with videos like that i i don't know uh how to deal with them but
00:40:11.620there is a group of global elites who who want to pursue world marxism and that is the world
00:40:16.380economic forum and it's not being a conspiracy theory to point that out they say it they wear
00:40:20.300it on their sleeves so what then would be the purpose of a bill like c11 what do you think
00:40:27.920the purpose of that is well the purpose is for authoritarians to control information to control
00:40:34.220discourse uh everybody you know if we're going all the way back to 1984 any book talking about
00:40:39.080dystopian authoritarian future knows that you have to talk about controlling information discourse
00:40:46.100press conversation telling people how they can speak what they can say it's an integral part
00:40:51.360of that that's why the americans i mean in the revolution and drafting their constitution knew
00:40:56.600how important the first amendment was if you don't have free speech you don't have any other freedoms
00:41:01.560and uh it's very dangerous so what's your take on almost every world leader in the west a couple
00:41:10.400of years ago maybe it was a year and a half ago using the same catchphrase build back better
00:41:17.440all of them i don't know i mean i i don't have enough you know what i'm i'm interested in
00:41:25.400throwing these things at you because i really want to get your reaction on this i know that
00:41:29.420there's a lot of people that don't want to believe that these buggers these world economic forum guys
00:41:33.860are very infiltrated in our government and and the policies that our governments make but
00:41:38.640To me, it seems obvious. I'm just trying to figure out exactly what the rationale is here for the Americans to be allowing so many illegal migrants into their country. Millions now. As a matter of fact, since Biden has been president, they've got 4.9. That is the exact population of Alberta. You know, 4.9 million immigrants have come into their country illegally. And I'm happy to see what Ron DeSantis has been doing, flying them to Martha's.
00:42:04.340That was magnificent. If you want to expose those hypocritical, you know, champagne socialists who always point down to the South and say, hey, you're a bunch of racist whiners.
00:42:15.920You've got to let those guys in there. You complain about them being around. It's wrong.
00:42:21.800And then just it just took 50 of them in their backyard and those guys lost it.
00:42:25.920it right but it's not like you've got the george soros uh you know attorney generals down there
00:42:32.640you've got uh crime they're so soft on crime you've got california pretty much falling apart
00:42:38.480down there and i'm just wondering why these politicians allow this kind of stuff to happen
00:42:44.720with their policies is it just a byproduct of what their policies create or is it intentional
00:42:51.360Well, I think some of it's got to be intentional.
00:43:20.460Yeah. So, I mean, I can only I have to believe that Newsom has a bigger plan and it's the disruption and it's the Marxism of the sort that's being pushed by the WF.
00:43:32.360The only leap I won't make is I don't know if he's directly tied with them or being guided by them, but he's certainly sharing their views.
00:43:38.180Yeah. And this is the thing. This is the question that I was asking a couple of years ago.
00:43:43.000Okay, so why? Why are these guys, why are these world leaders all speaking the same way? Why are their policies so destructive for the very people they purport to govern? Why? What is the endgame here?
00:43:56.980And then ultimately you go down that rabbit hole and you see, well, uh, welcome to UN agenda 2030.
00:44:04.260Welcome to Klaus Schwab's world economic forum.
00:44:06.980Welcome to, uh, the UN and the ESG goals.
00:44:11.880And then you go, okay, that makes sense.
00:44:58.500And I think they convinced themselves they're doing the world good, that they're vain to the point that they think they're better than everybody else.
00:45:04.860Just put us on top and we will manage these sheep and make them all much better for their own good.
00:45:10.120We know we saw that in the Soviet Union.
00:45:13.020I think Lenin really thought he was making the Soviets a better place.
00:45:15.660I think Mao Zedong thought he was the best thing that China had ever had happened to them.
00:45:19.760But of course, history has shown that they're horrific people and the things they impose are doing so. And it's that same mindset coming from these authoritarians today.
00:45:28.840You know, what's interesting is there's so many people when you when you start telling them all of these things that you and I have been discussing these past few minutes and you tell them this stuff and they sit there with this look on their face.
00:45:39.760they're kind of like what no they'd never do that and then you say to them no no no you'd never do
00:45:48.380that they would do that as you point out they look at us like ants right a very good way to put it
00:45:55.560and that's what i was saying where i try i try to think what's in their mindset and that's why i
00:45:59.580kind of said they're they're these they have an elitist point of view they they don't think of us
00:46:04.720And as you said, we don't think that way.
00:46:07.440It takes a thought exercise to have to sit and try and put ourselves into their shoes because it doesn't make sense to us.
00:46:14.120But once you start looking at it that way, then a lot of their moves do start to make sense.
00:46:17.980All right, Corey, thanks for coming on tonight.
00:46:19.420Where can we find you on social media and where can we find you on the Western Standard now that you've reduced yourself to one measly day a week?

01:04:03.380Dr. Chris Allen Shoemaker is going to join the show tomorrow night.
01:04:08.280He was at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto for, I think, a period of 10 days talking to people about these experimental gene therapies and advising them to do the right thing, to try and get as much informed consent as they possibly can before making that decision to get their boosters.
01:04:27.060He will join the show tomorrow night, Dr. Shoemaker will.
01:04:31.620And again, if you guys want to talk to me about this rogue element within the freedom movement, which I believe could trigger another invocation of the Emergencies Act, or worse, you can email me, shadowdavis at gmail.com.
