00:00:00.000 I grew up in an oilfield family. While most teens' after-school jobs were in fast food or
00:00:05.100 working in retail, I spent my days washing winch tractors and cleaning well site trailers.
00:00:09.960 By 15, I was a half-decent swamper. I could often be found helping move drilling rigs and
00:00:15.620 tank farms on the Suffield block. The industry was good to me and my family. I watched in awe
00:00:21.380 as my dad built up several successful companies, not only supporting his own family, but hundreds
00:00:26.380 across the province. But our story is hardly unique. There are hundreds of small service
00:00:31.580 companies across the West. They move rigs, rent equipment, frack, and drill. And more than that,
00:00:38.140 they support their communities. You'd be hard-pressed to walk into a hockey or curling rink and not see
00:00:43.200 a sign thanking a local oil and gas entrepreneur for supporting the facility and the teams that
00:00:48.000 play within it. Oil and gas is more than just an industry. It's a way of life. It's not for the
00:00:53.520 faint of heart to spend weeks and sometimes months at an isolated drilling and mining location,
00:00:58.800 away from friends, family, working in the bitter cold in the winter months and trying to stay
00:01:03.680 cool in the hot summer sun. This is all too overlooked by the Eastern elite who seek to shut 0.94
00:01:09.660 down the lifeblood of the Western Canadian economy. When they say, leave it in the ground,
00:01:14.940 these aren't shots at Alberta, Saskatchewan's government. No, they're shots at the everyday
00:01:19.580 Canadians that work hard to put food on their tables, raise their kids right, and build a
00:01:24.020 comfortable retirement. The demand for oil will peak one day, but that day won't be anytime soon.
00:01:30.160 There's hardly a facet of our modern lives that doesn't require a petroleum product in some form.
00:01:35.140 The environmentalists scream that we're killing the planet, but the truth is Canadian oil and gas
00:01:40.600 is the cleanest petroleum industry on Earth. If the world needs oil, why shouldn't it be Canadian oil?
00:01:46.820 From emission caps to carbon taxes, no more pipelines and tanker bans, the federal liberal
00:01:53.000 government in Ottawa has put roadblocks and barriers in the way of the West's most vital industry.
00:01:58.660 But still, the industry thrives, hitting an all-time production high in 2023. And more than that,
00:02:09.520 we're doing it cleaner than we ever have. In 2022, the industry cleaned up over 8,000 oil leases,
00:02:15.680 busting the myth that Alberta doesn't care about the environment. At the same time, we have reduced 0.68
00:02:21.140 methane emissions 45% since 2014, three full years ahead of schedule.
00:02:28.440 Just like it took Alberta Innovation to get the oil out of the ground, Alberta Innovation is making
00:02:33.360 it cleaner and more responsible. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she'd like to take a page out
00:02:38.960 of the Americans' book by becoming the world's largest oil and gas producer while simultaneously
00:02:44.000 reducing emissions. As the Western Standard Sean's Pulser tells it,
00:02:49.360 South of the border, lower 48 production has undergone a miracle transformation,
00:02:54.700 nearly tripling from about 4.5 million barrels per day in 2010 to an all-time record of 13 million
00:03:01.820 barrels per day in 2023. According to the Energy Information Agency, no country on Earth has ever
00:03:08.300 produced that much oil since it was first discovered in 1857. Meanwhile, U.S. CO2 emissions
00:03:15.460 in absolute terms have fallen a minimum of 25% since 2007, even as oil and gas production have reached
00:03:22.960 new heights. Smith says the American experience can be replicated here in Alberta as well.
00:03:28.060 Well, I agree with the Premier. We can and we will do it here. We have all the tools at our disposal.
00:03:35.640 Engineers, scientists and geologists working around the clock to extract our resources in the cleanest
00:03:40.980 way they can. For now, it's clear the Liberal and NDP coalition aims to shut down the industry.
00:03:47.600 We can only hope that a change in Ottawa will get the federal government out of the industry's way
00:03:52.240 and instead get behind it.
