Western Standard - Canada must close the immigration floodgates now!

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Good day. Welcome to the Cory Morgan Show. Last one of August. Ah, summer's coming to an end

00:00:35.700 already. Matt, what are you going to do? Seasons come, seasons go. At least our legislature and

00:00:40.620 parliament will be in session soon, so political junkies and nerds like me can enjoy watching

00:00:44.840 them all scream at each other and get nothing done. The show is live. I see Jordan already

00:00:49.720 in the comment scroll. Hey guys, you know, send your comments, questions, ideas my way. I see

00:00:54.220 them all. I don't necessarily read them all out, but I appreciate them. Just try to keep it civil.

00:00:59.380 I got Drew Barnes coming on in a little while.

00:01:02.120 He's running for mayor of Medicine Hat.

00:01:03.720 You might remember he was a MLA with the Wildrose Party.

00:01:06.400 He was one of the loyalists who didn't cross when Daniel Smith did her ill-advised floor crossing there.

00:01:13.040 Plus, we're going to have a news check-in again with the original Dave.

00:01:17.980 He's back.

00:01:19.220 And lots of other news and good stuff and stuff for me to go on about.

00:01:22.940 I'm tired and crabby today, so I'll have some good ranting on why that is a little later.

00:01:26.920 All right, so we've got something new here at the Standard, too.

00:01:29.560 The Western Standard is proud to partner with a teleprompter that won't start.

00:01:35.620 There we go.

00:01:37.060 Okay, well, we're partnering with the Solid Gold family, and there we go.

00:01:41.260 Radio Network, Alberta's very own internet radio, fully owned and operated right here at home.

00:01:45.740 You can catch your shows and live streams on Husky at 5, Nashville on 3, and Vibe on 2.

00:01:51.440 Three of the 27 unique channels that Solid Gold family brings to listeners across Alberta.

00:01:56.340 Check them out today, sgfrradio.ca. That's sgfrradio.ca. So I'm sure if you look Solid Gold

00:02:04.540 Radio in Alberta, you'll find it. It's one more way you can listen to us. And hey, get your

00:02:09.380 streaming, keep things in Alberta. It's where it belongs. All right, now what I'm going to get on

00:02:14.880 about here. Let's talk immigration. Yes, common subject. I mean, controlled immigration, you know,

00:02:19.760 managed immigration. It's a good thing for an economy and a society. Mass immigration, 1.00

00:02:24.520 which is different, leads to socioeconomic disaster. Canada has been suffering from the

00:02:29.860 effects of mass immigration for years. The Trudeau government opened the floodgates and

00:02:33.760 used mass immigration to shield the results of its economic incompetence. Pouring people into 0.80

00:02:38.120 the country offers a meager and short-term economic boost. It keeps the national GDP growing so they

00:02:43.440 could point to one positive economic indicator. Unfortunately, while mass immigration gives us a

00:02:49.840 larger economic pie. It splits that pie among more people. Thus, our GDP per capita has been falling

00:02:54.900 behind other developed nations. In other words, we're becoming poorer and fast. The usual suspects

00:03:00.220 in academia, political circles, and legacy media spent years attacking, labeling anybody who dared

00:03:04.340 to question the mass immigration levels as being bigots and rednecks. Even the CPC didn't dare

00:03:09.240 question the immigration floods for fear of progressive backlash. In fact, they're still

00:03:13.900 really not speaking up on it now as they should. As the damage from mass immigration continues to 0.99

00:03:18.500 Mount conversations did begin in hushed tones that we might need to tap those brakes. Canada's

00:03:24.060 already failing health care system. It's been reaching collapse as demand is overwhelming our

00:03:28.360 ability to access services. Undaunted, the fools in power said we must treat this problem through 0.98

00:03:33.180 increasing immigration to fill staffing levels. But the problem is few of the new immigrants brought 0.98

00:03:37.840 medical skills with them, however. We didn't need more Uber drivers. We need more doctors. 0.90

00:03:42.680 Just more ailments came in to burden the system with. The situation with housing is the same.

00:03:47.260 housing growth couldn't keep up with the floods of new citizens. Existing citizens were being

00:03:50.840 priced out of housing markets while immigrants were housed in hotels at a cost we've now discovered

00:03:55.260 is over a billion dollars. Urban settings with cheap housing are becoming outright ghettos as

00:04:00.760 immigrants overload and overwhelm rental housing units. While Trudeau made it a hill to die upon, 1.00

00:04:05.460 Carney hasn't been afraid to reverse course with some of Trudeau's policies such as the carbon tax.

00:04:10.300 Now Carney's hinted that immigration's levels should be curtailed and when he did he was

00:04:14.180 applauded by the same academics, of course, and media figures as a pragmatic visionary for saying

00:04:19.380 what they accused others of intolerance for saying only a year ago. At this point, though,

00:04:23.420 who cares about the hypocrisy with the about face on the immigration policies? Just do something.

00:04:27.940 We must stop this mass influx of bodies. And it really doesn't matter who's doing it. We can go

00:04:31.960 down the road of I told you so later. The problem is Carney's well over half a year into his tenure

00:04:37.580 on the prime ministerial throne. And we're starting to see that he's incapable of follow

00:04:41.520 through. He's all talk and no action. He's another Mr. Dithers. We're seeing that with 0.83

00:04:46.060 this constant capitulation on trade issues, and now we're seeing it with immigration. The

00:04:49.900 Liberals have tried to hide and cover up the numbers, actually, and we're withholding figures

00:04:54.580 for immigration. Canada, think about this, was bringing in 260,000 permanent immigrants per

00:04:59.920 year in 2014, just before Trudeau got in. Now we're on track to have 422,000, despite Carney's

00:05:07.540 vowed to reduce it to 395. How hard is it just to say bloody no? Temporary foreign workers are 1.00

00:05:12.900 still flowing in as our refugees and potential permanent citizens. Hundreds of thousands of

00:05:17.200 people with expired visas. They've been misplaced and we can't even seem to manage to deport the 1.00

00:05:22.440 child sex offenders we get in our courts from other countries. With temporary immigrants added 1.00

00:05:26.600 to the total, whether on a student or work visa, Canada's had an annual population increase sitting

00:05:30.980 at a staggering 900,000 per year. We can't sustain this. Asylum seekers have been put up in hotels. 1.00

00:05:36.260 I mentioned that earlier. It's absurd, though, when we have a housing crisis impacting many

00:05:40.500 Canadians. The Liberal government invited recent immigrants to bring in their parents and

00:05:43.280 grandparents now. It's as if they're going out of their way to bring as many people who will be

00:05:46.940 dependent upon the state as possible. Think about that, though. State dependents tend to vote

00:05:51.260 Liberal, don't they? Social disorders on the rise in some areas. Check out Brampton sometime if you

00:05:55.400 want to see something special. As immigrant populations rise and are introverting rather 1.00

00:06:00.700 than adapting to Western values. Communities are ghettoizing and crimes committed by immigrants 1.00

00:06:04.400 holding cultural values that don't gel with Western values

00:06:06.880 while they're growing,

00:06:08.440 with so many issues pressuring the nation.

00:06:10.740 It can be tough to prioritize sometimes.

00:06:12.520 This one shouldn't be tough, though.

00:06:13.760 We've got to stem the tide and get our country in order.

00:06:17.360 Stopping all immigration isn't reasonable, 1.00

00:06:19.180 but we can and must cut it dramatically.

00:06:21.340 The current levels are pressuring all Canadians,

00:06:23.520 and it isn't fair to immigrants or citizens alike.

00:06:27.000 The Liberals finally admitted the numbers are too high, 0.96

00:06:28.780 but lack the balls to do anything about it. 0.98

00:06:31.020 They must be pressured, 0.99

00:06:32.320 and people must continue to demand

00:06:33.700 that the immigrant should be brought under control. 1.00

00:06:35.920 I'm going to talk a little about the UK as to what happens when you don't.

00:06:39.440 It's already going to take years to catch up in the mess as it is.

00:06:41.900 All right, that's what I wanted to start my rant about anyways.

00:06:44.480 But let's get on to our news editor, Dave Naylor.

00:06:47.720 The original Dave, back.

00:06:49.040 Back.

00:06:49.920 Bigger and better than ever.

00:06:51.060 From grand parenthood out in BC.

00:06:53.160 Yeah.

00:06:54.080 Unbeknownst to either of us, we were in the same small BC area.

00:06:57.980 Yeah.

00:06:58.200 In beautiful Yale.

00:06:59.860 It is beautiful down there.

00:07:00.800 Now, you were gold prospecting.

00:07:02.920 Yes.

00:07:03.540 And you're still here.

00:07:04.980 So I take it you didn't find the mother load?

00:07:06.880 No, no, no.

00:07:07.760 No mother load. 0.98

00:07:08.500 Enough to keep me happy, you know, washing gravel and then with that weird little hobby.

00:07:12.600 But it was fun.

00:07:13.320 It was good.

00:07:14.020 And you're in a tie again.

00:07:15.540 I am.

00:07:16.500 But that's just today.

00:07:18.280 As I said, the color on this shirt is unusual.

00:07:20.340 It doesn't sit right.

00:07:21.200 It sits all over.

00:07:21.720 I mean, hardly a fashion maven anyways.

00:07:23.400 But I thought, ah, fine.

00:07:24.280 I'll put a tie on it.

00:07:25.240 Don't get used to it.

00:07:26.720 No, I was telling you yesterday, do you want to talk about your drive home now or are you

00:07:30.020 saving that for later?

00:07:30.920 I'm going to save that for later because I've got quite a bit to say about that.

00:07:33.200 But my drive home yesterday, yes, what should have been a six-hour drive turned closer to, what, a 15-hour drive or so, thanks to our…

00:07:43.780 Trucking industry.

00:07:45.080 Yes, and our RCMP and our road clearance and a lot of issues that I laid on that beauty.

00:07:51.900 I'm going to have to run back to my desk then and listen.

00:07:54.420 Yeah, I'll go on a little later about it.

00:07:56.540 Yeah, we've got a horrible story leading off the website at the moment.

00:08:00.460 Another school shooting in the States.

00:08:02.880 First week of classes down there in Minneapolis at a Catholic church and all the students, sorry, at a Catholic school. 0.99

00:08:10.020 And all the students were inside this Catholic church when a scumbag opened fire through the windows. 0.99

00:08:16.920 He was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. 0.99

00:08:20.940 So he fired estimates of 50, 100 rounds.

00:08:24.860 Cops confirmed dozens

00:08:26.660 Killed an 8 year old and a 10 year old

00:08:28.980 As they prayed in their pews

00:08:30.860 Just a horrible story

00:08:32.940 The guy

00:08:34.680 The killer has been identified

00:08:36.220 And he changed his name a little while ago

00:08:38.640 Into a woman's name

00:08:39.680 So he was a Robert, now he's a Robin 0.51

00:08:42.500 And his picture is

00:08:44.740 On our website if you want to go

00:08:46.420 Check it out

00:08:47.580 And apparently his mother worked at the school

00:08:50.160 So

00:08:50.880 There you go

00:08:52.900 we're we're waiting for more details on that um i apologize now because if anybody's eating

00:09:00.020 i'm going to ruin their lunch uh calgary uh pizzeria called uh famoso neapolitan pizza

00:09:07.860 has been shut down by alberta health services for massive rodent infestation mouse crap everywhere

00:09:15.700 fruit flies uh uh you know you name it if it was vermin it was in this place and

00:09:21.620 They've got a long list of things that they have to clean up before they can open again.

00:09:26.540 Interesting story from our friends at Black Locks Reporter today.

00:09:31.340 They're dealing with a case of a CRA manager, a tax man, who was fired for watching TV in his office.

00:09:39.660 World Cup. I mean, come on, it's the World Cup. You've got to be able to watch it, right?

00:09:43.980 But these differences, these people are paid on taxpayers' dime.

00:09:48.020 and his firing was overturned because apparently this is routine at CRA

00:09:53.260 and even the managers do it for, you know, big sporting events like the Olympics

00:09:57.820 and the World Cup and hockey and, you know, everybody gathers around

00:10:03.360 and they take turns from harassing citizens like you and I

00:10:06.480 and they watch hockey for a couple hours.

00:10:08.760 Wonderful, you know, when you get a six-figure income,

00:10:10.800 you go on strike every few years, you have, you know,

00:10:13.760 probably four weeks paid vacation a year, a massive pension plan

00:10:16.620 And, yes, they crack down on us because they might be $50 short on the tax return. 0.99

00:10:20.400 And you watch TV while you're there rather than you're doing your damn job. 0.98

00:10:23.960 Nice work if you can get it. 0.99

00:10:25.180 Boy, it sure is.

00:10:26.020 We went up the road.

00:10:26.760 It's too bad I hate math.

00:10:28.140 Yeah, it's too bad I hate civil servants.

00:10:30.300 I won't even apply there.

00:10:31.700 I don't think it would work out well.

00:10:32.980 And speaking of going on strike, Canada Post's quarterly results out yesterday.

00:10:39.620 Only $450 million loss this time.

00:10:42.680 And they had a big Buy Canadian sort of advertising campaign, and it obviously didn't work.

00:10:50.920 And they're going to lose more than a billion dollars this year, and they're going to go on strike.

00:10:55.540 And Posties probably watch a lot of daytime TV, too.

00:10:59.880 Well, yeah, they get a little upset when I call them mailman tees online, but I'm getting sick to death of them.

00:11:03.460 You know, they used to use that excuse that, hey, don't worry.

00:11:07.420 You don't have to pay for it.

00:11:08.660 It's self-funding.

00:11:09.180 No, it's not.

00:11:09.740 Now the bailouts are coming in the billions.

00:11:11.560 It's coming out of my pocket.

00:11:12.680 for you guys to sit around and deliver junk mail once a week.

00:11:15.460 You know, the whole time I've been in Prittis,

00:11:18.100 been there 12 years now,

00:11:20.000 I've never gotten a letter on Friday.

00:11:22.380 Oh.

00:11:22.760 Amazing.

00:11:23.300 That's interesting.

00:11:24.040 Nobody ever mails me something on Friday.

00:11:25.880 Have you gone to check out the Prittis golf course

00:11:27.940 to see if there's like mail trucks

00:11:29.300 lined up as they play around?

00:11:32.980 Yeah, you know,

00:11:33.900 and when I lived in Calgary,

00:11:35.360 I rarely got mail on Friday too.

00:11:36.760 It was just strange, you know,

00:11:38.240 though apparently they deliver five days a week.

00:11:40.740 Yeah.

00:11:40.980 I can't oppose it.

00:11:43.760 Speaking of dinosaurs and people getting paid too much for too little.

00:11:46.580 No, I mean, if you want to save money, all Carney can do is just chop it.

00:11:51.580 Mail once a week.

00:11:52.500 Hey, holy cow, look at that.

00:11:53.940 Exactly.

00:11:54.500 Bring all the bills at once.

00:11:55.900 Not on a Friday, though.

00:11:57.220 No, on Fridays.

00:11:58.500 All right.

00:11:59.160 All right, well, that's it.

00:12:00.100 I'm going to rush back to my desk and listen to your tale of woe.

00:12:03.000 All right.

00:12:03.720 Well, I'll let you go.

00:12:04.980 Thank you for the update.

00:12:06.180 And then I'll start pissing and moaning about the state of British Columbia Highways.

00:12:09.400 All right.

00:12:09.700 Can you give me 30 seconds?

00:12:10.980 Sure. And yes, that is our news editor, Dave Naylor. That's what I like to remind folks,

00:12:17.060 the reason Dave curates and puts out all those stories, that important stuff and things are on

00:12:22.340 the go. Everything from, yes, nasty restaurants to unfortunately the most horrific of things,

00:12:28.420 school shooting. But it's because you guys have been subscribing and that's how we stay independent.

00:12:32.740 That's how we can report on these things and others are afraid to go after the government.

00:12:35.860 get online guys it's 10 bucks a month hundred dollars for a year westernstandard.news

00:12:40.780 slash subscription it's it's well worth it keeps us rolling and if you've already subscribed thank

00:12:45.620 you very much so yes i might as well go on about what happened yesterday so i was driving back i

00:12:49.900 was on vacation for a little bit in bc there we were driving back for people unfamiliar with it

00:12:54.480 you got rogers pass it's a stretch of the trans canada highway it's probably one of the most

00:13:00.100 isolated stretches of main highway in all of canada there's no it's in the tallest of the

00:13:05.560 Rocky Mountains. There's no possible detour you can take if there's an accident on it. A trucker

00:13:12.620 managed to crash in one of the tunnels. It turns out there were minor injuries. I've double checked,

00:13:17.940 I've triple checked. It was only minor injuries, but he plugged the whole tunnel solid as he crashed

00:13:22.880 his truck there. Now, we had the poor fortune of just getting there just before the accident

00:13:28.860 happened, Jane and I, and we sat on the highway in 25 degree weather, no cell coverage, middle of

00:13:35.560 nowhere for eight hours. A police officer did roll by at about hour number two and told us all

00:13:43.680 that the accident should be cleared in an hour to an hour and a half. It took eight hours with no

00:13:49.900 injuries. What the hell are they doing? And the other part that gets me is the communication.

00:13:54.800 there were families in those cars roasting there were senior citizens there were people running

00:14:00.140 out of gas people finally u-turned just communicate you know one of my biggest beefs with the rp rcmp

00:14:06.160 in general they hate communicating they feel that every little bit of information has to be kept

00:14:10.820 from us just come out and tell us tell people hey we've got a truck sitting there and for some

00:14:17.520 reason we're incapable of moving it and you should perhaps turn around and head back to revelstoke or

00:14:23.820 on the other side to golden. 6,000 cars a day go through that pass. So I would estimate after eight

00:14:30.780 hours, there were what, 4,000 or so during the day, all backed up sitting there and they wouldn't tell

00:14:36.480 us a bloody thing. You know, when I worked in the States, I remember working around Pittsburgh and

00:14:42.800 you'd go in rush hour and they'd have tow trucks stacked up and down the roads for every rush hour

00:14:46.780 because when there's an accident, they prioritize getting traffic flowing. If somebody's injured,

00:14:50.860 they get them the heck out of there and then they scrape that road clean and get the bloody 0.94

00:14:53.800 traffic going again. When we took the biggest highway in Canada and corked it up for eight

00:14:58.580 hours for a non-injury accident, having thousands of people sitting out in the hot pavement and you

00:15:03.060 couldn't even have the courtesy to come down and tell us what the hell is happening. Yeah,

00:15:07.640 a pretty big fail on the part of the RCMP. I know they do a lot of good work, but communication is

00:15:12.700 not their forte and they got to get on with it. All right, let's communicate with my guest. I've

00:15:16.800 been looking forward. I haven't talked to Drew in quite a while. It's Drew Barnes, as I mentioned

00:15:20.520 earlier, Albertans will remember him from the Wildrose Party. He was one of the great loyalists

00:15:25.280 who didn't do the foolish floor crossing. And now he's actually a glutton for punishment running 0.98

00:15:30.920 here in Medicine Hat. Hey, Drew, how you doing? Oh, Corey, I'm great. Great. Thanks for talking

00:15:36.320 to me today. Oh, I appreciate you being able to come on. You know, we're coming up to an election,

00:15:42.160 a civic one, of course. And it's always been one of my big gripes is not enough people are paying

00:15:47.180 close enough attention to these issues. That's your closest politicians to you, actually. And

00:15:52.360 there's a lot of big issues going on. So I'm happy you've taken that up. So I guess we'll

00:15:57.860 start with, you know, what inspired you to kind of jump back into public life and head for the

00:16:02.940 mayor's chair? Well, Medicine Hat is, you know, a great place to live. I'm proud to be from the

00:16:09.700 economic engine of Alberta and from Alberta being the economic engine of Canada. But we haven't

00:16:15.760 grown in many many years our current city council is in chaos so so i'm running on the idea of

00:16:22.300 refocusing council refocusing medicine hat on fiscal responsibility fiscal discipline i'm

00:16:29.200 committed to not increasing taxes for three years i'm committed to the idea of growth reasonable

00:16:35.160 manageable growth for medicine hat and because of the chaos and the dysfunction that's currently

00:16:39.720 going on in council cory i must have had 100 medicine hatters in the last year asked me to

00:16:44.180 consider doing this. So I'm grateful that they had the trust in me and I'm happy to give it a try.

00:16:50.320 Yeah, and none of you might be familiar with it, but you've had kind of some bizarre stuff going

00:16:55.260 on in the Medicine Hat, mayoral chair and council lately. Is there going to be a move for a number

00:17:00.860 of new councillors to kind of come in and try and sort all that out or what's going on?

00:17:04.320 Yeah, absolutely. Eight positions, 23 have already signed up for councillor,

00:17:10.020 including four that are working with me as we support each other and that's none of the

00:17:15.840 incumbents. So 23 brand new faces. There's some real good fiscal responsibility, budget

00:17:22.260 responsibility people in there and that care about the growth of Medicine Hat and care about,

00:17:28.560 you know, making our streets safe again, making our downtown core safe again. You know, Corey,

00:17:34.260 we we've had some crazy boondoggles here where our city has made busy streets tremendously narrow

00:17:41.260 and for putting in wide bike trails and that kind of thing they've made the city you know unsafe

00:17:47.640 in some respects uh looking to please a small group yeah those municipal issues are kind of

00:17:54.140 the same everywhere we go and and so not everybody's necessarily familiar with medicine hat it's

00:17:58.100 actually one of the more sizable little cities in Alberta. And it's been a city that initially

00:18:04.320 had a heck of a lot of local wealth. I mean, Medicine had its own gas company. I don't know

00:18:08.600 if it still does or not, but you built some fantastic infrastructure there, the Esplanade,

00:18:13.320 things like that. They're magnificent. But I guess no amount of revenue can keep up with

00:18:19.380 mismanagement if it's been poorly kept. Yeah, Corey, that's exactly it. Our Esplanade,

00:18:23.880 our big marvel leisure center our new arena for the taggers are fantastic facilities uh we were

00:18:29.880 blessed we used to make you know tens and tens of millions in oil and gas exploration we're the gas

00:18:35.320 city uh but through that field depleting through mismanagement uh that gas department is now a

00:18:41.320 liability i understand the city has it has it for sale and is accepting bids on it i'm hearing that

00:18:47.000 the bids that are coming in are actually negative bids which speaks to to how badly they've managed

00:18:52.040 it. But Corey, we do have an opportunity. We have kept our license to generate electricity

00:18:59.080 and sell electricity to all Albertans onto the grid. My goodness, two winters ago, Alberta really

00:19:05.700 needed us when we almost had to have a blackout or at least a brownout. And Medicine Hat was able

00:19:11.780 to step it up with our natural gas peakers and sell electricity to all of Alberta. So there is

00:19:16.800 some opportunity. We just need to focus on the proper things, and that's keeping government

00:19:22.440 small, keeping taxes low, focusing on growth for Medicine Hat, and as I've been saying, refocus

00:19:28.400 City Council away from this chaos and infighting. Yeah, you're definitely due for a fresh start out

00:19:33.720 there, I think. I saw some of the things, they almost reminded me of the old Dar Hetherington

00:19:37.280 stuff in Lethbridge from long ago, for those who've been in Alberta long enough to remember.

00:19:41.540 it's sometimes it just needs a reset uh another issue that's been big and happening i i've had

00:19:48.500 some misgivings a little is the relationship though between the municipalities and the

00:19:52.460 provincial government you know it's similar to the provincial government the federal government

00:19:55.920 it's just like politicians can't resist reaching into the jurisdiction of others you've got to work

00:20:00.640 closely and hopefully cooperatively with the provincial government but there's also times

00:20:05.200 to tell the provincial government hey hands off right yeah absolutely especially when it comes

00:20:10.180 to enforcing things like you know money for you know road narrowing and and stuff where it's not

00:20:16.580 it's not going to be permissible it's not going to be safe also you know our our homelessness and

00:20:23.880 our crime problem has has increased dramatically uh mostly a federal government program with judges

00:20:29.860 that aren't holding people accountable and responsible but also our province can help us

00:20:34.620 put some adequate supports in our province can help us put some adequate responsibility and for

00:20:41.480 when people do break crimes with break and enter and theft there's some areas where we need them

00:20:47.060 but but for the most part things have run better when decision making is local things run better

00:20:52.880 when government is small and taxes are low and that's why i'm running on a three-year property

00:20:56.900 tax increase freeze medicine hat we're the only municipality of size that does that what a shot

00:21:03.640 in the arm that'll be for our residents our business and for our tracking growth

00:21:07.300 right on uh so when it comes to the crime and homelessness uh it seems i remember maybe i could

00:21:17.540 be off a few years ago one medicine had married announced that they'd ended homelessness out there

00:21:21.460 managed to i i take it that was only a temporary situation then it's become acute again yes exactly

00:21:28.620 it's like so many other places it's become acute and and it's time for us to put in the proper

00:21:33.300 supports for those suffering from homelessness and vagrancy but cory it's also time for us to

00:21:38.340 hold accountable and responsible those that break crimes break and enter theft you know break our

00:21:44.420 laws rather you know it's we have the situation where you know our good police are are frustrated

00:21:51.060 because of such a catch and release situation but still as mayor i'm going to insist that

00:21:56.980 those that break our laws are held responsible.

00:22:00.760 Does Medicine Hat have a municipal police force or is it still RCMP there, actually?

00:22:06.740 Because that can make a difference on how much the municipal government can have a say in prioritization of police services.

00:22:12.120 Yeah, exactly. We have a great local police force. 0.88

00:22:15.300 We have a local police commission and we do have and city council will have some influence.

00:22:21.000 Great. Yeah, because I mean, that's been an issue in Calgary.

00:22:23.860 it's been interesting to watch actually some of the back and forth between the municipal and

00:22:28.480 provincial I mean the provincial government sort of shoved sheriffs in because the municipal

00:22:33.980 government here in Calgary didn't want to prioritize keeping the transit system safe

00:22:38.340 and it sort of kicked their butts in gear but it really should be better to see initiatives like

00:22:42.840 that coming from the bottom up rather than the province again stepping in to take care of those

00:22:45.920 things right yeah yeah essentially like like the police the main job of the police is to ensure

00:22:50.320 that your community is a safe place to conduct commerce and recreation and business. And all

00:22:56.980 through Canada, that has diminished, that has failed. I mean, in Calgary, you know, the problem

00:23:02.580 is acute. One of my sons in Calgary, him and his girlfriend refused to ride the train, even though

00:23:07.400 it went stop to stop because they didn't feel safe. And that's ridiculous. And it's ridiculous 0.94

00:23:12.640 to let harmful lawbreakers continue to influence the 99% of us that are good, outstanding citizens.

00:23:20.320 So what about other areas such as safe consumption sites and those sorts of harm mitigation facilities?

00:23:27.880 It's been another blurry area, whether the municipalities should be dealing with that or the province.

00:23:33.760 Is there a facility like that in Medicine Hat?

00:23:36.500 No, there's not. The NDP tried to open one when Rachel Notley was premier.

00:23:42.820 I was grateful to be MLA then and fight it.

00:23:44.960 I was grateful that the city of Medicine Hat and it was stopped by the UCP government.

00:23:49.680 So it actually never opened, although the building still still sits vacant today after considerable government cost.

00:23:56.160 And, Corey, we've seen it. Free housing, free drugs, free food doesn't solve the problem.

00:24:00.840 It only makes it worse. So so we're not going to go down that road.

00:24:04.620 I've talked to many medicine hatters knocking on the door and the number that like Daniel Smith's Premier,

00:24:10.820 Daniel Smith's plan to force three time offenders into some kind of a rehabilitation is quite popular.

00:24:16.900 I just hope to see it accelerate.

00:24:19.680 Yeah, we certainly need to see more treatment. I mean, the people on the streets are still suffering. I mean, they can be dangerous, they can be problematic. But we do have to remember that they are somebody's kids. If we could just get them into treatment, easier said than done. But it's better than enabling, I guess, as we've seen in so many other jurisdictions. So natural gas is still an industry like what other industries are core to Medicine Hat today? Like what sort of industries are you maintaining? And what are you hoping to develop?

00:24:45.240 Well, we still have a lot of oil and gas, thank goodness, because we developed the British military training base next door way back 60 or 70 years ago.

00:24:56.080 We have a lot of expertise in the city when it comes to oil and gas, and we have a lot of hardworking risk takers.

00:25:01.640 Agriculture, of course, we're big, big on ranching, and we have a lot of grain farmers.

00:25:05.440 And even as you go 10 or 15 miles west towards seven persons, there's all kinds of irrigated land where people are growing potatoes and peas and seed canola and canola.

00:25:14.460 So a huge amount of agriculture.

00:25:16.940 Corey, lots of natural gas industry still, whether it's Goodyear making tires, Methanex making methanol, Canadian fertilizers.

00:25:25.740 Cancarb makes catalyst recovery, which is like in your tires and many, many things.

00:25:30.640 We have many, many plants like that.

00:25:33.000 And we have a good, strong local small business community, too.

00:25:37.040 Unfortunately, too many of the small ones are telling me, though, that the property tax increases the last few years have been a burden and a hardship.

00:25:43.800 Many are still having difficulty getting out from under the COVID losses and the COVID restrictions, and they're just looking to fire up and get going.

00:25:51.860 So as mayor and a proud, proud medicine hatter, a proud, proud Albertan, I'm going to do everything I can to get taxes low, permits and development quick, and get out of their way so they can prosper.

00:26:03.960 Great. And how about housing? Has it been keeping up out there?

00:26:08.140 it's been a challenge in some areas and costs have been getting high development can be mired

00:26:12.500 in red tape and things such as that i know from your political thinking red tape is going to be

00:26:16.280 something you're going to want to slice through but how has it been in medicine had is there

00:26:21.060 lots of available housing or you still try to construct more um yeah thanks for that question

00:26:26.560 no it's a problem um we haven't grown much in the last few years uh hardly at all but we haven't

00:26:34.120 built thing I think housing starts in Medicine Hat last year was like 11 only 11 housing starts

00:26:39.400 so there's a shortage of revenue property there's a shortage of affordable homes for people to buy

00:26:45.140 but one of the good things about my campaign so far is that I've been talking to some of the

00:26:49.940 builders and developers who have great plans for attainable housing initiatives and affordable

00:26:55.520 housing for those that want to rent so so we're on track to ensure that Medicine Hat has a very

00:27:00.400 very good supply of attainable and affordable housing and that will attract uh young people

00:27:05.000 that will attract employees for people to bring their investment in their and their businesses

00:27:08.720 here and uh yeah it's a and red tape has of course been a problem too but uh the plan is

00:27:15.540 to streamline city hall instead of saying no the answer we want the answer to become here's how you

00:27:20.980 get to yes right on yeah and i mean i just want to make a plug for your city in general uh you know

00:27:25.940 medicine hat's really an underrated little city is it's so beautiful down in the river valley with

00:27:29.840 that downtown if if you just blast by it on the highway and don't take a moment to go in and

00:27:34.080 actually have a look at you don't realize what a nice little gem is hiding out there in southwest

00:27:38.740 alberta as people are kind of leaving the major cities they're learning they can work from home

00:27:43.020 you know destinations like medicine hack could could turn into a place like where are you looking

00:27:46.660 to draw in new citizens perhaps oh absolutely uh the goal is 2,000 2,500 a year so we have some

00:27:53.840 reasonable manageable growth so we maintain our easy quality lifestyle now but Corey your

00:27:59.620 exactly right. We're still quite affordable compared to big cities. We're still quite

00:28:03.940 affordable to the rest of Canada and that has attracted some people for sure. The fact that

00:28:09.260 we own our own electricity company and our own ability to generate electricity is a huge

00:28:13.620 opportunity to help our citizens. The fact that we're on two major highways, Highway

00:28:18.940 1 and Highway 3 to Lethbridge and the Crowsnest Pass, great, great opportunity for warehousing

00:28:24.520 and businesses. The fact that we are an electric generator in a world of data centers and a growing

00:28:30.780 demand for electricity needed for technology really poises Medicine Hat exceptionally well.

00:28:36.280 We just goes back to the chaos that our council has been in the last four years,

00:28:41.440 infighting, lawsuits, calling the province in to do an investigation report. Corey, I am asking

00:28:48.080 the people of Medicine Hat to support me and refocus on putting Medicine Hat first and the

00:28:53.380 needs of Medicine Hatters first. Great. Well, before I let you go, then where can people find 1.00

00:28:59.420 more information on your campaign, whether they want to make their mind up whether or not to vote

00:29:03.600 or whether or not to support and take part in your campaign? Okay. Thank you, Corey. DrewBarnes.ca.

00:29:08.620 It's on Facebook, Instagram, and X. I've opened a campaign office right beside McDonald's on

00:29:14.380 Dunmore Road here in Medicine Hat. We're going to full hours on Tuesday right after Labor Day.

00:29:19.700 So to all the citizens and voters of Medicine Hat and to all my friends around Alberta,

00:29:24.480 please continue to reach out to us.

00:29:26.200 Please continue to support us and help us refocus Medicine Hat.

00:29:30.300 All right on.

00:29:31.120 Well, thanks for making your run and coming on to talk to us about it today, Drew.

00:29:34.400 We'll be watching the race as it develops with interest.

00:29:38.100 Corey, thank you very much.

00:29:39.140 Keep going.

00:29:40.160 Great.

00:29:40.440 Thanks.

00:29:41.300 So one more time, folks, if you want more information, yeah, it's drewbarns.ca.

00:29:44.820 Nice and easy to find and remember.

00:29:46.780 And again, these elections are so important.

00:29:50.400 And, you know, I don't know the other candidates or what's going on,

00:29:52.900 but I will make as close as I can, in a sense, to a plug.

00:29:55.400 Drew is a good stand-up guy, solid, common-sense conservative.

00:29:58.740 So if that's the sort of thing you're looking for, check his campaign out.

00:30:02.540 And I promise we're not paid or anything like that.

00:30:04.540 I just, going by experience, knowing Drew for quite some time.

00:30:09.260 And Medicine Hat, I really do.

00:30:10.680 I've always kind of loved that little city hiding out there, people.

00:30:13.040 It's a hidden gem in Alberta.

00:30:15.120 All right. So let's move on to a little bit more of the other stuff going on here.

00:30:20.200 This one's been quite something that came up for folks watching, and it kind of ties in with what

00:30:24.960 I was talking about with immigration things. So Samadun, I could be mispronouncing it. I don't

00:30:28.760 really care. It's a group of terrorist supporters in Canada. They're mostly Vancouver-based, but 0.92

00:30:34.680 they are outright Hamas supporters. They were designated a terrorist organization in Canada.

00:30:41.420 This is where I'm talking about, again, this country saying the right things but not having the nuts to do anything about it.

00:30:48.360 So this group is a terrorist organization, and it was just revealed that they're still registered as a not-for-profit corporation in Canada.

00:30:57.740 We have a registered terrorist organization as a not-for-profit corporation in Canada, 1.00

00:31:04.180 and our government is too stupid, incompetent, and incapable of actually shutting that down. 1.00

00:31:09.940 Hey, we don't know how to fight terrorism. 1.00

00:31:12.700 Well, for starters, why don't we shut down their corporations?

00:31:15.160 Has that occurred to you, Mark? 0.98

00:31:16.780 You peckerhead. 0.96

00:31:17.940 It's unbelievable. 0.98

00:31:19.920 This is, it's criminal to take part in this organization.

00:31:24.420 It's against the law.

00:31:25.940 It's a terrorist group within Canada.

00:31:29.320 And it's virtually got a charity status. 0.51

00:31:34.240 This country is a mess.

00:31:35.160 and uh this is one of the areas where the conservatives are missing out and the western

00:31:40.740 standard actually is is posted a couple of memes showing that you know showed a meme with a road

00:31:45.100 saying you know should we continue with this axe the tax idea or talk about immigration

00:31:49.020 and they're going towards the axe the tax guys you just lost an election on that

00:31:53.520 we've got some serious serious problems going on and this is happening all around the world

00:32:00.000 and we got to get realistic about it we got to talk frankly about it we got time bombs going

00:32:05.000 on we were talking a little bit about that at a planning meeting i was at earlier here today in

00:32:08.520 the standard with the issues in the uk and people have been seeing that that that circumstance in

00:32:14.520 scotland with a girl holding a hatchet and a knife and telling men who were filming her who

00:32:20.200 were speaking some sort of arabic or something to stay away defending themselves and it turned around

00:32:25.720 and the girl has been charged for for brandishing a knife what cultural circumstance are we getting

00:32:33.720 too, where children are feeling that frightened and victimized. The UK has seen some of the sickest

00:32:41.760 stuff. And let's just quit beating around the damn bush. These are Middle Eastern countries 1.00

00:32:46.820 that for whatever reason, do not share a value on the integrity of women. And that's why in the UK, 0.99

00:32:54.740 and they covered it up through political correctness and fear of offending Islamists.

00:32:59.640 And I know not every Muslim takes part in that, but there's a whole whack of these Islamists 1.00

00:33:03.560 that were running rape gangs, literal, grooming children. 0.99

00:33:08.700 The police were covering it up again because they fear the racist backlash.

00:33:11.380 But you know what you're doing?

00:33:12.560 You're capping a kettle with these incompatible cultures. 1.00

00:33:18.360 And it's going to get violent.

00:33:20.620 It's going to get really, really bad soon.

00:33:25.080 We need integration.

00:33:27.180 We need to slow down.

00:33:29.440 We need to get things together.

00:33:33.560 and stop pouring this in. And in countries like the UK and that, I tell you what,

00:33:37.760 I'll make my prediction right now. And I hope to be wrong with it, but I got a feeling it won't.

00:33:42.900 There's going to be a horrific case pretty soon over there somewhere in a major city in the UK.

00:33:47.640 And some young girl is going to be brutalized. And it's going to lead to a backlash and a riot. 1.00

00:33:54.560 And then there's really, we're talking stuff that we haven't seen in Europe. And because the

00:34:02.660 citizens have had enough. As much as Starmer's trying to suppress this and they're trying to ban

00:34:06.960 bad Facebook comments, as much as a guy got arrested for saying, I love bacon. That's how

00:34:11.280 insane they are trying to cover this up. All you're doing is putting a cork on the kettle

00:34:15.840 and it's going to blow up. And innocent people are going to be hurt. When you get race riots,

00:34:21.320 and that is what it'll be, then unfortunate innocent people, people of color who might be

00:34:28.220 on the street at the wrong time, who never did anything wrong, but because this has now gone

00:34:33.580 and erupted into a riot situation, they're going to be attacked too. Their homes perhaps will get

00:34:40.080 torched. Their businesses will get attacked. We've seen this enough times over generations

00:34:48.860 in humanity. It's a sad thing with humans, but whatever. We've got different cultures. They clash.

00:34:53.220 it takes time it takes a lot of effort for different cultures to overlap and get along

00:34:58.460 with each other it's a tribal nature that maybe instinctively was good for us you know 10 000

00:35:04.060 years ago i'll stick with mine they stick with theirs and we'll fight with each other if we get

00:35:08.740 too close to each other and now we still have a bit of that tribalism going on so we have to

00:35:12.200 overcome it when it comes to this that instinct is really as i talked about in immigration in

00:35:19.940 Canada, I don't think we're as bad yet, but we're moving towards it. That ghettoization,

00:35:24.800 that introversion, these communities, and this cowardice on the part of the Western world to

00:35:33.280 call it out. I mean, just think some years back when it was the big Syrian refugee thing, 1.00

00:35:38.700 and a whole pile of them sexually assaulted dozens and dozens of women at a New Year's Eve 0.82

00:35:44.620 celebration in Germany. And still the government just bent over backwards to make excuses for

00:35:49.920 these perverts, for these guys from a Stone Age culture that don't feel that women have rights. 0.77

00:35:57.740 And it's not my opinion. This is stats, guys. Look at the Middle East. It's a crap hole. 1.00

00:36:05.840 Name any Middle Eastern country, aside from Israel, that's a democracy. Name a single Middle 1.00

00:36:11.580 Eastern country that respects women's rights. Name a single Middle Eastern country that respects 0.99

00:36:17.700 human rights in general, or LGBTQ rights. None, not a single one. Guys, there's a problem. Let's 1.00

00:36:26.400 quit indulging this. This is a faith that hasn't hit a reformation, that hasn't caught up from

00:36:33.120 the medieval times. And we got to call it out. Because as these clashes build, as this

00:36:40.360 incompatibility, this oil and water continues to build, we're going to see a terrible situation.

00:36:45.940 as I said, and I don't want to see riots. I don't want to see the explosion that's going to come

00:36:50.840 because innocent people on every side, when society goes that bad, lose. Now is the time

00:36:56.880 to start talking frankly on some of these things and fix them before it gets worse.

00:37:03.040 So who knows what that situation with the girl in Scotland with a knife, but it's an indicator.

00:37:08.880 it's a hint that things are tense and they're rough. And this refusal to accept modern reality

00:37:19.640 is this thing that we all have to apologize for flourishing. We have to constantly say that we're

00:37:25.080 wrong for doing okay for ourselves or for having developed or moved forward. Our own Mike Thomas

00:37:30.580 with the Western Standard wrote a fantastic piece, by the way. I'm coming a little closer to home

00:37:34.480 with this because it shows again, this is woke DEI absurdity and ridiculousness that goes on

00:37:39.860 because we've got the 150th celebrations of Calgary here and Fort Calgary, which was what,

00:37:48.500 yes, the name of the entire city, 1.6, 1.7 million people who are here now was Fort Calgary. No,

00:37:54.120 they had to change it to the confluence because it's too insensitive to the First Nations

00:37:58.120 populations. Oh, kiss my ass. So they changed the name of Fort Calgary even to the confluence. 1.00

00:38:04.480 And this whole thing, this whole 150 year celebration is going to be about nothing but this

00:38:10.560 theme of reconciliation. How long? When? Is it ever done? No, it's not. Who are we reconciling with?

00:38:21.140 We got Gondek who just proudly announced some $30 million or something, a whole whack

00:38:26.320 of tax dollars to fund race-based housing in Calgary. Yeah, housing that we're going to build

00:38:31.700 just for Indigenous people out of a municipal budget, totally outside of their jurisdiction.

00:38:36.720 I understand we've got Indigenous people in dire straits, poor, having all sorts of issues. 0.99

00:38:43.280 That's because we're maintaining a stupid, broken racial apartheid system called the reserve system. 0.99

00:38:47.980 And the overflow is coming over into the cities. 0.99

00:38:50.020 But building race-based housing isn't going to make it better. 0.96

00:38:53.080 And it's not your jurisdiction.

00:38:55.780 But again, it's dividing more, isn't it?

00:38:57.960 This is that we're going to have little enclaves now of Indigenous districts. 0.67

00:39:01.180 is that what it's actually going to be? Oh, look at this, three square blocks. Yeah,

00:39:05.660 that's just for Indigenous people. Good, good. That'll help us all get together, won't it?

00:39:12.040 We try to turn the clock back with this. It's ludicrous. We've gone so full circle 0.97

00:39:19.500 from where we were supposed to in the past. I remember some years ago that some academics

00:39:25.740 and others, I'm sure the school is still going out in Toronto, they were proudly celebrating

00:39:29.940 an all-black school, just black people. Martin Luther King didn't get assassinated,

00:39:41.360 didn't stand up, didn't do all that fighting, show all that courage. All those people who fought,

00:39:47.160 the ones to try and move themselves up, you know, in the seats in the bus, didn't do so to come full

00:39:54.400 circle. So suddenly we're separating each other all over the place by race again. Their goal and

00:39:58.460 their intent was that we're supposed to all be together. And the woke morons have split it all 1.00

00:40:03.380 apart again, where now we're separating schools, we're separating districts, we're separating 1.00

00:40:08.720 areas, race-based policy all over the place. Guess what? Race-based policy is wrong. It's always 0.95

00:40:17.200 wrong. You can't undo the damage of past race-based policy by imposing more. Yet that's what they're

00:40:26.700 trying to do. And yet the irony of it all is when you call it out, you get called intolerant.

00:40:34.200 You know, we don't get intolerant until we get older. That's the stuff that the woke and the

00:40:40.020 foolish should do later. I remember just a memory of my own, you know, it's anecdotal, but when I 0.96

00:40:44.480 was younger, my son was born. I lived in Northeast Calgary, it was affordable. And of course, when

00:40:51.020 my kids started in school, and most of the class were new Canadians or children of new Canadians,

00:40:56.700 Canadians. And there was a, like a kindergarten graduation thing where, you know, it was just

00:41:02.600 something they do at the school. It was for fun or whatever. And all the kids were dressed up in a

00:41:06.120 bunch of their traditionally family garb and kids in, you know, silks and Indian outfits. It was

00:41:12.080 really cool. And none of the kids cared. They were all just kids in the same class. Some kids liked

00:41:17.480 the kids, some kids didn't and so on. The race part didn't matter to them at that point.

00:41:23.060 but somehow later on grow into the division unfortunately i i i used to be a james fowler

00:41:33.040 high school i lived up there for a little while and it'd be sad when you drive by again a very

00:41:37.340 ethnically diverse school and you see the schoolyard and you see all the kids at lunchtime

00:41:41.540 of course you're dodging kids you know outside of any high school on the roads because uh they're

00:41:45.800 you know walking as kids do and they're concerned with everything else rather than watching out for

00:41:49.940 a car you know to knock them over but now you see a cluster of kids of Indian origin and a cluster 1.00

00:41:57.580 of kids of black origin and a cluster of kids of white origin and a cluster of kids of you know

00:42:02.860 Chinese origin and they're not mixed up as they were when they were in elementary school somehow

00:42:07.740 they spread apart again and it's not good guys we're not going the right direction this is and

00:42:14.600 And I don't know, it's a top thing.

00:42:16.700 The whole world's trying to deal with it.

00:42:19.180 But for starters, we've got to ease into some things.

00:42:23.640 Something that doesn't help is, you know, I'll go on to this one. 0.93

00:42:26.100 This is beautiful with our state broadcaster, our woke garbage, the bad information, 0.99

00:42:31.320 reminding you why you've got to subscribe to the Western Standard Independent Outlets. 0.92

00:42:35.100 With the CBC getting their $1.4 billion a year, you know, plus stealing money from the advertising market.

00:42:40.840 I call it stealing because if they're selling advertising when they're getting all those subsidies, it's stealing it from other outlets that are trying to compete.

00:42:48.420 On top of it, they've got their gem service.

00:42:51.060 That's their streaming service.

00:42:52.660 Yeah, you might not have heard of it because most people don't because they don't care. 1.00

00:42:55.580 It's crap. 1.00

00:42:56.480 Nobody's paying extra on top to watch CBC streaming garbage. 1.00

00:43:01.640 I don't even know what they run on it. 0.69

00:43:02.680 What, old reruns of the Beachcombers or something the last time they made a good show?

00:43:06.040 But now, they're refusing to disclose the subscriber numbers for that service.

00:43:12.840 They're refusing.

00:43:13.620 They're actually going to court because the information commissioner has ordered the state broadcaster to tell Canadians how many people have actually paid to subscribe to GEM.

00:43:24.060 And CBC is so embarrassed of it, they're going to court to try and block that.

00:43:28.860 we aren't supposed to be allowed to know how much our tax-funded state propaganda-loaded

00:43:34.480 broadcaster is making out of this streaming service. It's got to be bad. I mean, trying to

00:43:39.680 find anybody who's ever actually paid to stream Gem. I mean, this is something we've got to follow

00:43:46.040 up on. I mean, it's not a world-shaking political issue, but it indicates just how sick the CBC is,

00:43:54.020 how much money they're taking from us. And then, of course, their woke, vile coverage

00:43:58.980 of virtually everything. See, in other news, the Conservatives, Abacus showed another poll that

00:44:06.140 apparently they're climbing in the polls federally again. They might have crept just past the

00:44:10.560 Liberals again. Don't celebrate too much, guys. You know, I mean, the Liberals are down to 17%

00:44:16.520 and they must have turned around Eastern Canada, happily put them back in. They just got to put 0.61

00:44:20.500 the elbows up, right? That's a good direction, I guess. We'll see what happens when Parliament

00:44:25.720 resumes this fall. Provincially, too, we got that coming up. And that's going to be interesting.

00:44:31.580 You know, that was mentioned at our meeting this morning, too. Where's an NSHE? I don't know that

00:44:35.320 anybody really misses him that much, but where is he? You know, where's the NDP? The media,

00:44:42.660 the legacy media is really taking on the full role of being the official opposition leader

00:44:47.460 and constantly critiquing Premier Smith and the UCP and everything they do,

00:44:53.640 but the actual official opposition has been virtually invisible.

00:44:57.120 What is Nahed doing? Who is Nahed?

00:45:01.560 He better, really better hit the ground running when the legislature sits.

00:45:06.620 And I don't know. I mean, I'm biased. Okay, fine.

00:45:09.420 Because his voice just drives me bananas.

00:45:10.940 And I got a feeling he's not going to endure that many more people

00:45:13.560 with his snotty sort of approach to things.

00:45:16.360 if it's similar to as he was mayor in City Hall, he's not going to endear himself further to

00:45:20.380 Albertans if he takes that attitude in the legislature. But I'm looking forward to watching

00:45:23.560 in a morbid sort of way as a political geek. All right, but that's the time I got for today,

00:45:28.440 guys. Thanks for tuning in. I know I'm unshaven and tired. Like I said, I didn't get home till

00:45:31.520 after midnight last night due to that traffic episode. Be sure to tune in. The pipeline is

00:45:36.640 going to be on a little later tonight. Nigel Hannaford still got Hannaford going on. And

00:45:41.020 And yeah, watch our channel, subscribe, check out that Alberta Solid Gold Network, guys.

00:45:46.640 And hey, just keep tuning in.

00:45:49.200 This is how we keep rolling.

00:45:50.240 I'll see you all again next week.

00:46:11.020 We'll be right back.
