Western Standard - No new pipelines will be constructed in Canada

00:00:00.000 Good day.

00:00:29.020 welcome to the cory morgan show what do we got going on now all sorts of stuff lots of independence

00:00:35.660 talk going on of course lots of things on the international front and really a whole lot of

00:00:41.180 talk and not a lot of action on the federal front i've got a good guest coming on in a bit here uh

00:00:46.540 john bolton he's a broadcaster you might remember him from a number of talk radio stations he'd

00:00:52.460 been on now he's working on youtube online and he's been a fantastic voice out there i like

00:00:57.420 like seeing this independent media building up and becoming the future. It really is. And John's

00:01:03.040 just been doing a fantastic job. It's going to be a good time chatting with him there.

00:01:07.720 So I'm going to get right into things. I want to talk about what's going on the federal front.

00:01:13.520 So I mean, while Western alienation is on the rise, no surprise there, the federal government

00:01:20.800 is really not doing a damn thing to stop it. We have the new Carney administration. I mean,

00:01:25.140 they can act decisively and without hesitation when they want to. Carney repealed the consumer

00:01:29.980 carbon tax, didn't about face on his retaliatory tariffs against the United States in short order.

00:01:36.200 I mean, they were good moves, but they also proved that even policy changes with wide economic

00:01:41.500 impacts can be made quickly when the government has the will to do it. Carney even likes showing

00:01:47.100 off his newfound unilateral powers through these performative signings of executive orders that

00:01:51.780 don't even exist in the Canadian system. He likes to show how powerful he is as an individual leader,

00:01:56.680 but he's not doing anything. I mean, if Mark Carney wanted to facilitate the development of

00:02:01.180 cross-country infrastructure to deliver Canadian energy products worldwide, he'd be on it like a 0.65

00:02:06.240 pit bull on a fat kid. He'd be holding press conferences on the issue and showing maps of

00:02:11.000 proposed energy corridors. He'd be declaring pipelines to be in the national interest and

00:02:15.080 his government would be telling Canadians of the benefits all citizens could enjoy with the

00:02:19.320 increased sales of energy products around the world. Mark Carney is doing none of these things

00:02:23.540 because Mark Carney has no interest in allowing any new pipelines to be constructed in Canada.

00:02:28.740 He paid lip service to the issue during the election, and now he's going to allow Canada's

00:02:32.840 energy industry to continue to atrophy under a ridiculous regulatory process. The world wants

00:02:38.380 Canadian oil and natural gas. Leaders from Germany and Japan, they came to Canada cap in hand,

00:02:43.760 almost begging Canada to sell them petroleum products. Those leaders were told by a former

00:02:48.980 Prime Minister Dingbat that there's no business case to be made, and they left disappointed.

00:02:53.620 They then, those countries went out and cut deals worth billions of dollars to purchase oil and gas

00:02:58.560 from Middle Eastern sources. Qatar understands there's a business case for selling oil and gas

00:03:02.600 products. Due to that, they're the richest nation on earth, while Canada has economically castrated

00:03:07.140 itself. Carney plans to continue Trudeau's ideological and idiotic crusade against the 1.00

00:03:12.780 Western Canadian oil and gas industry. He's maintaining the very policies imposed by Trudeau, 0.99

00:03:17.640 which have stunted development of the resource, and he won't be budging on it.

00:03:21.780 Carney's hinting that no businesses have been expressing interest in investing in the new Energy East project.

00:03:26.960 Well, of course they haven't.

00:03:28.320 All the regulatory roadblocks that killed the first Energy East project remain in place today.

00:03:33.400 Why on earth would any energy company commit more funds towards a project that the government won't guarantee?

00:03:38.780 Lucy's ripped the ball away from Charlie Brown enough times on this issue. 0.99

00:03:41.920 Energy companies aren't going to fall for it again. 0.64

00:03:44.900 The business case for exporting more oil and gas from Canada is solid.

00:03:48.620 World demand is expected to rise for fossil fuels for decades to come.

00:03:52.720 And Canada has some of the most abundant deposits of them on earth.

00:03:55.260 The nation could benefit by trillions of dollars over decades through employment,

00:03:59.560 income, along with taxes, royalties within reason, and such on the industry.

00:04:04.120 It could support some of the most generous social program bases on the planet

00:04:07.100 while drawing professionals to immigrate from overseas

00:04:09.860 to contribute to the economy through associated industries.

00:04:12.740 We can, and we should, have all that.

00:04:15.580 But Mark Carney doesn't want us to.

00:04:17.580 Carney's lieutenant, Stephen Gilboa, has already been telling Canadians we don't need any more pipelines.

00:04:22.020 And I don't recall Carney correcting him on that.

00:04:24.660 Gilboa is an environmental extremist with a tenuous grasp on reality.

00:04:28.960 Carney is no less extreme with his net zero ideology,

00:04:31.460 but he's taking a more subtle and dangerous approach than Gilboa in shutting in the resources.

00:04:36.380 Carney wants to let Canada's natural resources die on the vine

00:04:40.500 rather than allow for increased development and exportation of them.

00:04:44.560 While Carney loves wrapping himself in the Canadian flag

00:04:46.580 and is trying to portray himself as a hero who'll protect Canada from the dastardly USA,

00:04:50.840 yet he refuses to address Canada's largest vulnerability to the American economic bullying.

00:04:56.520 Being virtually the sole customer for Canada's oil and gas exports,

00:04:59.740 the USA has enjoyed discounted Canadian products for decades.

00:05:02.980 There are some serious financial heavy hitters with a strong interest

00:05:05.780 in maintaining Canada's energy status quo.

00:05:08.620 I want us to wonder how many of those interests have Carney's ear or Carney's investments.

00:05:13.560 The only way to regain investor confidence in Canada's oil and gas industry would have been to hit the ground running and declare utility corridors to be in the national interest.

00:05:23.140 Carney would have to say that pipelines must be constructed.

00:05:26.520 Instead, he's saying they might get constructed, which is another way of saying they'll never be constructed.

00:05:30.520 in offering mealy-mouthed commitments to energy infrastructure while offering

00:05:34.520 Quebec a veto on the matter and keeping the No More Pipelines bill in force. Mark Carney is

00:05:39.420 signaling he wants to phase out Canada's oil and gas industry. That leaves only one tool left in

00:05:44.340 the West's toolbox in order to achieve its potential in full for prosperity and stability.

00:05:49.580 And that's with full and complete provincial independence. All right, well, that's what's

00:05:54.800 got me worked up today. Let's turn and check in with Jen Hardison and see news updates and what's 0.85

00:06:00.340 going on outside of the world. Hey, Jim, how's it going? Hey, Corey, I'm doing good, thanks. Good,

00:06:03.980 you're stuck here filling Dave's shoes. I mean, that's a big task. He's over in Israel and

00:06:08.920 I'm no Dave Naylor, but I'll do what I can and step into his shoes.

00:06:13.080 Certainly you'll do fantastic. So, you know, the news stories are still coming up. I see you're

00:06:17.700 writing as prolifically as always. So what's top of the list today out there in the big bad world?

00:06:22.960 Right. So today I'm working through the pandemic agreement by the World Health Organization that

00:06:29.080 canada is a part of so i'm working my way through this dense text right now there have been several

00:06:35.480 versions and what we're trying to get to the bottom of is just how much control member countries

00:06:41.560 like canada are allocating to the who now it seems like the updated versions of the treaty

00:06:51.080 don't have that uh more authoritarian language uh so it seems like they might have backtracked

00:06:57.800 slightly on that so stay tuned on our website and we'll let you know just what to expect from that

00:07:05.080 treaty if there is another pandemic member countries i think there's something like 192

00:07:11.000 countries are signing on to that and they will be compelled then to follow certain pandemic

00:07:17.880 related protocols such as sharing data surveillance there's a one planet or one

00:07:26.840 earth agreement which is basically equalizing humans animals and the planet yeah so that's

00:07:34.920 an interesting perspective i really look forward to them sharing my personal medical data with

00:07:38.440 international organizations such as the who uh you know and sharing the personal details what

00:07:44.920 a wonderful motion this is a lot to look forward to with that for sure definitely so your viewers

00:07:53.320 can check back on our website to find out just exactly what is going to be part of that treaty

00:07:58.160 by the end of the day. Next up, so we have some Freedom Convoy stuff, and it's actually, there's

00:08:05.680 been a few minor successes this week. Chris Barber is in court today. He is filing an application for

00:08:12.920 a stay hearing, which means that all of his charges will be dropped should he be successful.

00:08:18.940 We should find out by Friday, but he's facing two years in jail and the seizure of his truck

00:08:24.840 that he uses for his livelihood, of course.

00:08:28.860 Chris Oldcorn in Saskatchewan, he's looking into MAID, medical assistance in dying for

00:08:34.720 kids and people with mental health disorders.

00:08:39.760 So the Evangelical Church of Canada released pamphlets, educational pamphlets for people

00:08:46.160 to be aware of what dying with dignity for example which is probably the most prominent

00:08:53.600 organization that advocates for MAID is putting forward about allowing kids and even kids with

00:09:01.040 special disabilities to be to qualify for this state assisted suicide so yeah as a kid you can't

00:09:10.560 vote you can't drink you can't legally smoke a cigarette but you can cut off your reproductive 0.96

00:09:15.840 organs or even choose death man we're really going on a great road down right we have this

00:09:21.520 mature minor loophole in canada last year i did an in-depth story on it about the um surgeries

00:09:30.000 for kids that are confused about their gender and the different avenues that they have to bypass

00:09:37.280 their parents consent by claiming uh like independence from their parents essentially

00:09:42.800 to go forward with these procedures so we'll hear more from chris old corn about what exactly is

00:09:49.920 available to young people even young people with disabilities that seek euthanasia it's pretty 1.00

00:09:56.800 distressing it is and you know it's a tough week for kids actually because we have a study

00:10:01.760 about um canadian children who live in food scarcity and believe it or not 40 percent of

00:10:09.200 kids in newfoundland the study found are are not having enough food every day and we see that trend

00:10:16.160 rising all across the country we heard in our news meeting this morning that the food bank

00:10:21.280 uh visits across canada are up 90 so it's tough time out there especially for the kids yeah

00:10:30.320 for canadians in general i mean there's an economic bone under the elbows up crowd

00:10:34.160 to better hurry up as people are getting hungry. All right. Well, is that what you've got for today?

00:10:39.760 Well, unless if you'd like to hear about the ostriches, which are always a favorite story for

00:10:44.320 our viewers. People are concerned about that, actually. We've got people watching that as it

00:10:49.520 unfolds. What's going on? We've got the federal government is obsessed with killing birds.

00:10:52.880 They are, yeah, 400 of them to be exact. So the Federal Food Inspection Agency continues on with

00:11:00.800 its mission to call 400 ostriches from a farm in bc despite legal appeals and mass profile maybe i

00:11:08.720 shouldn't say mass protest it's not like the freedom convoy in ottawa or anything give it time

00:11:13.520 yeah but people are camping out people are writing letters and uh it's all over social media too so

00:11:21.680 people are really concerned about this because these are healthy ostriches that are not even used

00:11:27.520 for food consumption and the federal agency is trying to have them called because uh last year

00:11:36.800 a couple of their birds were found with avian flu and those birds are deceased and the farm owners

00:11:44.800 say that they have the other birds have herd immunity and none of them have tested positive

00:11:49.840 yet this call remains in place they want to really go after these birds well they really want that

00:11:56.000 you know the the bird flu to turn it into the next big pandemic they've been trying to make

00:11:59.120 that work for years since monkeypox failed but yeah and you know you make a connection there

00:12:03.280 corey because in the pandemic treaty i've already read through today is that specifically cases like

00:12:09.280 this where there could be viruses found in animals this is where the surveillance factor comes in

00:12:15.840 so this data needs to be shared and then it needs to follow the who defined uh criteria for

00:12:24.800 responding to it well it'll be interesting to watch i mean as it builds up they're not gonna

00:12:29.600 be able to get in and call those birds easily so uh well bizarre times anyways uh we'll keep that's

00:12:35.040 right let you get back there to keep digging into those who documents and uh hopefully come up with

00:12:40.160 a good news story yeah maybe next week cory well thank you very much jen and uh i'll let you beg

00:12:46.320 i know dave's left with you a massive workload while he's lounging out in israel right now

00:12:50.560 yeah he has he's dropped it right on me and sean's away today too so yeah well thanks okay thank you

00:12:57.760 all right that is jen hodgson as you see very busy covering a lot of you know very important

00:13:03.040 stories and these are ones you don't hear about in legacy media that often so we're an ag yeah

00:13:06.960 the reason we can do this the reason we're independent is because you guys have subscribed

00:13:10.640 so just like a newspaper subscription guys 10 bucks a month 100 for a year get past the paywall

00:13:15.920 support Jen, support Dave, support me and the rest of us in here to keep producing this content and

00:13:21.600 getting it out to you. This is the future of media. If you've already subscribed, thank you

00:13:26.360 very much. We really appreciate it. And if you haven't yet, come on, get on there, guys. It's

00:13:30.340 not that much. So yeah, just I see so many of these issues. Government control. Could you

00:13:36.960 imagine an unrestrained world with ostriches running loose, untested and people selling eggs? 0.98

00:13:43.740 We had an egg farmer arrested in Alberta recently.

00:13:46.080 I mean, we see dairy farmers who get charged for, well, not charged.

00:13:50.840 If they dare, though, to sell outside of a quota, well, then they will be charged.

00:13:55.460 Bizarre world we're in.

00:13:56.620 And at the same time, when all of this regulation is going on, we have people in Newfoundland

00:14:00.040 going to food banks.

00:14:01.040 I wonder if there might just be a little bit of a connection in over-regulating our agricultural

00:14:04.920 industry while we can't even afford to buy our own bloody agricultural products.

00:14:09.260 What a mess.

00:14:10.680 And then, yes, made, you know, it's a whole separate discussion.

00:14:14.160 I've had people on about it.

00:14:15.580 And that's another case of government control on a policy that maybe actually had a little bit of merit,

00:14:20.880 but they take it and just blow it way beyond reality and common sense.

00:14:25.220 I mean, if somebody's truly terminal, suffering, and really wants to kind of end, you know,

00:14:29.900 early with a decision on that and they're of sound mind,

00:14:33.320 I'm not averse to having the means provided for somebody in that circumstance.

00:14:37.360 But now when we're, they've gone nuts with it.

00:14:39.820 this is way beyond what Sue Rodriguez was trying to attain. This is way beyond what anybody with

00:14:44.440 common sense would think. When you're getting into children, people with mental health disorders

00:14:47.440 and people with non-terminal illnesses, and it sounds like it's not just being offered,

00:14:53.440 it's being encouraged, and we should be very worried about that. All right, well, let's get

00:14:57.540 on to, I'm looking forward to this, John Bolton, speaking of the future of media, and for, I know

00:15:03.680 he's been across the country, and Calgary talk radio listeners will probably remember that voice

00:15:08.020 once he pops on he was on for a number of times filling in and now he's been on youtube and

00:15:13.560 excellently outspoken and covering the issues and just happy to have him on to discuss well

00:15:19.820 things in general and the new media so thanks for joining us today john

00:15:23.160 well well thank you you know i've been in broadcasting i'm i'm in my 60s now and

00:15:29.580 being new media after being in broadcasting for 35 years is really quite something cory

00:15:34.440 yeah well you're you're energetic i mean yeah uh some people would have uh perhaps taken off and

00:15:41.140 uh retired or changed careers but you've just embraced the the new media and and you're doing

00:15:46.700 great with it so far well thank you very much i'd like to thank you for having me on here today

00:15:56.140 and um you know what's amazing got a bit of a delay i think do we it sounds like we got a bit

00:16:03.820 of a delay, but you're still coming. I'll just let you speak for a bit and carry on and perhaps

00:16:08.080 it'll catch up. Can you hear me okay, Corey? You're coming in. We just got a bit of a delay.

00:16:13.520 Okay. No, what I think is amazing is that, okay, got you. What I think is amazing is that if I

00:16:21.440 were in broadcasting today, I certainly wouldn't do local radio. I wouldn't be on a radio station,

00:16:28.100 a television station. This is what I'd be doing. I think some of the young people who are doing

00:16:31.980 um sort of basically podcasts on a daily basis many times a day are doing great work and probably

00:16:37.480 making a heck of a lot more money uh doing uh broadcasting and i didn't make a lot of money

00:16:42.000 over the years doing it no pension none of that i had to work under a under the umbrella of a

00:16:48.560 it's really amazing where we are right now and after you know 60 years of my life here i am

00:16:52.740 doing youtube which is pretty amazing and i and i enjoy doing it on a daily basis

00:16:57.180 Yeah. And you get up at a gut awful early hour to get those videos out there, which I appreciate. So it's nice to start the morning and I catch what you've gone on about and a lot of federal issues. You hit again on the carbon tax, you know, we can't today. And I appreciate that. Like we can't let the government off the hook with this. As you said, now they're doing the about face and changing their tune on the carbon tax. Well, where is our money? What happened with it? Can you kind of expand on what you had to say with that?

00:17:27.180 well what i said today was we heard yesterday that

00:17:35.080 it's now been you know upset at your poly after not taking credit over um the carbon tax disappearing

00:17:46.800 as mark carney wrote it away because if he hadn't been yelling out acts of tax for two years that

00:17:51.320 would still probably be in place today. But I think that with the carbon taxes, we've been

00:17:57.800 taken advantage of for so long. And today I said, you know, where's my money? I'd like to get it

00:18:02.700 back. I thought Pure Poly during the campaign should have given everybody a carbon tax rebate

00:18:07.840 to kind of refund some of the money that's been stolen from us over the years, which accomplished

00:18:12.060 absolutely nothing, Corey. This did nothing for the environment. Stephen Harper said that carbon

00:18:18.060 taxes are not about um lowering emissions they're about raising revenues and that's what the liberal

00:18:23.160 government did for years six years in a row every april 1st and um i was just saying i want to speak

00:18:31.000 out for everybody give me my money back give it back well it's a valid point that not enough people

00:18:36.760 are pointing out as well i mean if you do believe that global warming climate change all those bad

00:18:41.820 things are the biggest issue facing us today and and it's going to you know cost the future for the

00:18:47.280 next generations well you should have been asking how well the bloody carbon tax is working and it

00:18:51.940 hasn't done darn thing the temperatures haven't changed uh weather patterns haven't changed it

00:18:57.480 was truly a completely useless policy uh maybe we should be applying that critique though now if we

00:19:04.220 missed it on the consumer one on to the the commercial uh the industrial carbon tax because

00:19:08.360 it's not gone. It's just moved. It has. And I mentioned this morning that, you know, we're

00:19:18.320 going to get basically two more carbon taxes, the industrial carbon tax, as you mentioned,

00:19:22.860 and the carbon border adjustment mechanism, which if things coming into the country don't live up

00:19:29.300 to Mark Carney's rules when it comes to emissions, then they're going to put a tariff on it, which

00:19:33.380 is going to cost Canadians more money. So if the money from the carbon tax, the carbon tax we've

00:19:39.480 been paying every time we put gas in our car or pay to keep us from freezing to death in the

00:19:42.980 wintertime, if that raised inflation, what are these two other taxes that are coming going to do

00:19:47.100 to inflate inflation here in Canada? Yeah. So yeah, it's a bit of a delay. It's a little

00:19:58.060 frustrating. The problem with the new media and going live, we still get some hiccups now and

00:20:02.800 then. Maybe I'll turn a little bit, though. You've been also very outspoken, as if I, on looking at

00:20:08.920 the Western independence issue. I mean, the frustration we've had, nothing's changing on

00:20:13.960 the federal front. All we changed was the prime minister. He's put the same gang of clowns back

00:20:17.680 in the cabinet. He hasn't repealed any significant policies that will impact the West. But the 0.97

00:20:24.840 movement is still, I guess, having trouble getting out of the starting gates. What are your thoughts

00:20:29.040 on where the independence movement's sitting right now in the West, even though it's got strong

00:20:31.880 support building? Well, you know, I did a video, I've done a couple of videos, and I don't want

00:20:40.820 to go over the same ground, Corey, but my concern is that there's really no leadership here.

00:20:46.280 There's really no plan. There's really no communications. We've got a number of people

00:20:51.320 who say they speak on behalf of the independence movement here in Alberta. I think of Jeff Rath,

00:20:55.340 who I admire greatly. I think he's got a big voice, but I don't think he's the voice of the

00:21:02.100 independence movement. You've got Cam Davies, who I question what his motivation is. He's got an axe

00:21:08.100 to grind with the UCP. He's got an axe to grind, I think, with Danielle Smith, the Republican Party

00:21:13.480 of Alberta, an unfortunate name for a party, considering what's been going on down south of

00:21:19.420 the border. Then you've got something like Jeevan Mangat from the Wildrose Independence Party.

00:21:22.740 and I was looking for some unity from these groups and somebody to come out to lead this

00:21:27.800 movement and nobody does we need somebody to do that and I know I know people think that there's

00:21:33.960 lots of time here but I don't believe that I think we need to get our ducks in a row now we need a

00:21:37.940 leader we need a cohesive message for this or we're going to fail when it comes to the independence

00:21:42.060 movement here and that's my real concern in fact this brings me back to 2019 I initially went out

00:21:48.660 to an independence meeting in North Calgary, there were about a thousand people in an auditorium in

00:21:54.240 North Calgary. And I think it was the Wexit party at that time, if I remember correctly. And after

00:21:59.380 that, I started receiving email from two different groups who are at each other's throats. And I

00:22:03.960 think there are lawsuits involved here. And I started to kind of move myself away from the

00:22:09.160 movement because there was all this infighting. And I think all of these groups need to bury the

00:22:14.300 hatchet, get together. We've got a common cause here. It's for independence in Alberta, and we

00:22:18.660 have to have a cohesive voice. We have to have a leader. And I haven't seen that person come

00:22:23.280 forward. That's my real concern here. Yeah. And I mean, a challenge when you get multiple groups,

00:22:29.680 I mean, I've kind of spoke to an advantage of that in that it allows things not to be torn down by

00:22:34.560 perhaps one group or another group, but at the same time, getting a consistent messaging is

00:22:39.920 difficult. I mean, one group might be saying one thing, the next is saying another. And, you know,

00:22:45.020 even if they aren't fighting with each other, it's giving your average undecided voter who's

00:22:48.980 considering independence mixed messaging. And if you feel mixed messaging on a decision as big as

00:22:53.700 independence, you're probably not going to make the mark on that yes box. So we need one person

00:22:58.160 in the front, at least to speak for the movement. But I mean, they don't pop out of the ground like

00:23:04.380 daisies. We don't really see anybody standing out to take that role yet.

00:23:09.920 You know, I've been thinking about that. My wife sent me an email last night to do a series of videos on who you might think would stand out in this position. I really don't know who that person is right now. I was watching about a week or so ago, Candace Malcolm on Juneau News was talking with Preston Manning, you know, and Preston Manning back in 87. His message was the West wants in.

00:23:33.700 He wrote an article, I think it was in the Globe and Mail, slightly before the election started.

00:23:37.900 And I think he realizes the West wants out.

00:23:40.260 He said if the Liberals win, there's going to be a growing independence movement here in Alberta.

00:23:45.020 And I look at somebody like him, he's certainly, no disrespect to Mr. Manning, who I have a lot of respect for.

00:23:50.260 He's certainly not of the age to lead a movement like this.

00:23:52.880 I don't know that he would.

00:23:54.120 But we need a face like that.

00:23:55.720 And I brought it up a number of times on my channel that going back to 95, I went to Montreal.

00:24:02.600 I was at the unity rally. I wouldn't do it today. I wouldn't care if Quebec left. I wanted Canada to

00:24:08.700 stay together back then when I went to Montreal. But you look at the people who were leading the

00:24:12.480 movement there. Jacques Parizeau, the head of the Parti Quebecois, the premier of the province,

00:24:17.440 Lucien Bouchard, who was the head, who was the official opposition in the House of Commons

00:24:21.660 with the bloc. They had the aura of René Lévesque hanging over that movement as well, who lost

00:24:27.480 a vote back in 1980 for this. These guys were huge names, still huge names in Canadian politics.

00:24:35.080 It would be like having Danielle Smith and Pierre Polyev leading the independence movement in

00:24:39.800 Alberta right now. And we've got nobody like that right now. And I see the other side kind of lining

00:24:44.880 up people. Nahed Nenshi's waiting for Cam Davies to split the vote on the right so he can move in

00:24:51.040 as the premier of this province. Independence will be dead if that happens. You've got Jason

00:24:54.300 kenny former premier of the province who's going out against the independence movement you're

00:24:59.260 gonna you know politics made strange bedfellows and you're gonna see the anti-independence people

00:25:04.140 really get together and you're seeing nothing on the independent side and that's what i really

00:25:09.980 want to see happen cory i really do yeah it's scary i mean you see a lot more uh unified uh

00:25:15.420 movement towards a no it doesn't take quite the organization that's required to

00:25:19.660 uh turn the vote into a yes i mean we're not ready to get off yet we're looking at a nearly

00:25:25.340 year hopefully with some of the you know i mean the time is going to pass fast and and uh as

00:25:30.140 people are saying you know that the surge of support is stronger than we've ever seen

00:25:33.260 but we're still a good distance from a clear 50 uh some percent in a vote i i can only hope maybe

00:25:39.820 some meetings rallies i mean those things do help get people together but but how can somebody

00:25:43.900 surface out of that to start speaking for the movement uh some some things are in the works

00:25:49.260 maybe we'll get there soon hopefully well i hope so and i you know what i watched your video

00:25:58.220 yesterday and you talked about the mixed messaging and you know when we're out we're out that's what

00:26:05.100 we have to let people know we're leaving canada and and just doing but they're tweeting things out

00:26:14.060 that they're having to take back online.

00:26:18.420 That messaging gets passed along

00:26:20.900 and people don't hear the actual message.

00:26:23.080 I would suggest a little plug for you, Corey,

00:26:25.620 but people go to your personal website

00:26:27.780 or your personal YouTube channel

00:26:29.320 and follow along with you

00:26:30.360 because you wrote the book on this,

00:26:32.340 for goodness sakes.

00:26:33.560 And I think we should follow along

00:26:35.160 and use that as our guidebook

00:26:36.540 for the movement for separatism

00:26:38.300 and the independence movement here in Alberta.

00:26:41.160 Well, I appreciate the plug.

00:26:42.840 yeah and i'll keep doing those videos at least like i said as i say in a lot of them i just

00:26:46.700 want to share the mistakes i made so we can quit repeating them and get on with some new mistakes

00:26:50.820 and uh you know eventually we'll run out of mistakes so uh you know before i let you go

00:26:55.160 then where can people find you because your voice has been great and i'm looking forward as i said

00:26:59.240 i love seeing independent media developing and getting out there and your show is a great watch

00:27:03.900 so i want more people to tune into that in the mornings and then uh you know just start off the

00:27:08.380 stay right. Well, thank you. If you search for John Bolton, you're going to come up with 5 billion

00:27:19.920 videos of the former UN ambassador for the United States, that John Bolton, you know,

00:27:26.920 the nemesis of Donald Trump. So look for John Bolton AB and you'll find my channel. It's been

00:27:33.200 a great success back in early December. I had 400 subscribers. I just, I think I'm reaching 32,000

00:27:39.080 now. I appreciate everybody for coming there. They come to see me in the morning with my big

00:27:43.400 blue mug. I was at the Independence Rally May 3rd. I was the emcee there and I brought my big blue

00:27:48.260 mug. Dozens of people came up to see me. I've got more recognition doing those morning videos than

00:27:53.160 I did in 35 years of broadcasting on the radio. So it has been great fun. I appreciate you having

00:27:58.820 me on today, Corey. I really do. Thank you so much. Well, it was great, John. And I look forward

00:28:04.620 to watching more of your videos as you produce them. And well, we'll talk again soon, I'm sure.

00:28:10.220 We got an exciting year ahead of us, if nothing else. I think we can pull it across the line,

00:28:19.440 Corey. I really do. Let's all work together. I think that's the number one message that needs

00:28:23.700 to be passed along to everybody all the people who are speaking out right now get together and

00:28:28.860 i think we can do it i'm looking forward to it i really am thanks again great thanks so that was

00:28:34.080 john bolton ab if you look that up you'll find him on youtube but he's on uh x as well actually

00:28:39.300 i should have dug that up there uh you know but the best stuff is as you you could tell with with

00:28:44.540 john speaking he uh the broadcasts don't come out with some of the lag that we had going on today

00:28:51.160 with this show necessarily, but no, they're nice and crystal clear when you get John's show in the

00:28:57.260 mornings. And that's how we bypass legacy media. As he was pointing out, there's going to be,

00:29:04.040 if we're talking about just the independence movement, there's going to be opposition coming

00:29:07.980 from all sorts of directions. They're rubbing their hands together. It's a lot easier to tear

00:29:11.900 something apart. That's when it's on its way up than to actually get something together and growing

00:29:17.120 and moving on its way up. And legacy media is all in with the Federalists. I mean, most of legacy

00:29:24.320 media takes federal subsidies. So they do not want to see things change and they are not going to do

00:29:30.620 us any favors. But you know what? We don't need them anymore. You don't need the talk radio anymore.

00:29:35.580 You don't need the conventional television anymore. The future is on social media and John's doing it

00:29:43.160 through YouTube. This show's broadcast for YouTube, Rumble, X, LinkedIn, all those places

00:29:48.500 we stream out to. And that's how we can get our information unfiltered and get some of these

00:29:55.380 things done. I mean, meanwhile, getting back to media, I should point out, yeah, as I mentioned

00:29:59.520 earlier, Dave Naylor is in Israel right now. And he's covering some of the things. He's been putting

00:30:06.860 out live video clips that you can find on X and on the Western Standard site from some of the

00:30:12.460 horrible areas of where the slaughter has been going on, you know, where they came in and

00:30:15.480 murdered families and kibbutzes and at a music festival. I mean, we get people on the ground

00:30:22.420 and get out there and get you that news and information. And it's the, I don't know how

00:30:29.620 else to put it. You know, when you see things like this, what Dave's doing, it again reminds you,

00:30:33.840 you don't need the old form of media to get to those things. Further with that, I'm looking at

00:30:39.320 the stuff coming out across Canada. In Toronto, the Hamas supporters, they're just getting

00:30:44.980 totally out of control. They are attacking Jewish-owned businesses. You know, the world 0.99

00:30:51.720 has seen this before. And they're doing almost the game of, you know, getting as close into

00:30:57.080 somebody's face, but I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, while intimidating, while

00:31:00.860 targeting. So they were smoke bombing people on a patio. You know, there are people committing

00:31:07.260 the crime in the eyes of these terrorists supporting scumbags and that's what they are 1.00

00:31:10.540 scumbags just want to have a coffee but they're at a jewish-owned cafe and suddenly these losers 1.00

00:31:16.980 these masked scumbags are coming and getting in their face and and intimidating them and 1.00

00:31:21.480 lighting smoke bombs in their face and the police don't do a damn thing why because mayor chow 0.99

00:31:29.440 is a hamas supporter that's the only explanation any longer the toronto police and the weakness

00:31:36.620 the limp-wristed approach, the pantywaists, going up and bringing coffee and donuts to 0.98

00:31:41.200 terrorist supporters in our streets while they target and intimidate an identifiable group.

00:31:46.820 If it had been anything else, I mean, just imagine if there were Klansmen masked going

00:31:51.300 into a black district weekend by weekend by weekend and marching and intimidating the 0.96

00:31:56.880 black people in front of their houses. How quickly would the authorities move on that? 0.83

00:32:00.220 And they should. But, oh, this is Jewish community. So we just carry on. 1.00

00:32:05.000 it's, it's, it's beyond the pale. But again, it's showing how broken Canada is. You want to know

00:32:10.880 one of the first international accolades that Prime Minister Carney managed to get was Hamas. 0.91

00:32:21.140 For the second time now, Canada has been thanked by Hamas for its stances on the slaughter of

00:32:31.160 Israeli people by that gross terrorist organization. This country is broken. And so 0.99

00:32:37.540 that's part of why, yeah, I want absolutely nothing to do with Toronto, with Canada, with what's left

00:32:43.780 of it. And look what we got to look forward to, right? We still have no budget. There's no budget

00:32:49.360 yet. There's not going to be a budget this year. He hasn't even scheduled it for next year.

00:32:55.060 Really? We don't need to operate with a budget. The massive amount of spending that Carney has

00:33:01.040 promised now, and no budget to tell us how that's going to work. I mean, we are looking at, and we're

00:33:07.420 getting reports, Canada's moving into a recession, they're looking at possibly hundreds of thousands

00:33:11.460 of jobs being lost soon, and we can't even get a budget out of the federal government. You know,

00:33:17.980 speaking of the economics of independence, and it's one of the videos I got coming up in a little

00:33:22.160 while, but I mean, because people deride Alberta and Saskatchewan, say you guys are only economically

00:33:27.740 based on why you want independence. Well, it's not just that, actually. It's freedom-based as well.

00:33:33.140 You know, Jen mentioned Barber, who's part of the longest mischief trial in the world's history.

00:33:40.160 It's still going on because of its participation in the convoy.

00:33:45.120 We haven't changed anything. What measures have come in to keep the government from imposing

00:33:48.480 the Emergencies Act against people who oppose the government in the future? They haven't.

00:33:51.780 So no, there's more to it than just the economy. But the economy is a big one. When you can't put

00:33:56.020 food on the table and you can't pay your mortgage or rent, you know, when you actually aren't

00:34:01.420 nourishing your children properly, the ties that bind to a broken system of a federation are going

00:34:08.720 to weaken really fast and things are going to get worse fast. So Alberta, Saskatchewan, we have the

00:34:16.620 means to be, you know, again, one of the most prosperous free countries in the world and we will

00:34:21.120 and we can base a movement on the economics of it and not just the the cultural aspect alone

00:34:27.600 culture is great language is great it separates things but again when you can't pay the bills

00:34:32.960 you re-evaluate a lot of things we can't save canada we can it's it's beyond repair in a lot

00:34:39.700 of ways but we can save the west let's look at one of the other things i mean what's going on

00:34:45.800 Canada Post. You know, let's pivot a little here to our unions, right? Canada Post going on strike

00:34:55.240 again. They just went on strike in December. Canada Post had lost $3 billion up to that point.

00:35:01.180 They were losing about $300, $400 million a quarter for years and years. Billions they're

00:35:06.700 losing. It's an obsolete service. They used to deliver 5 billion letter mails a year.

00:35:13.300 now it's two billion letter mail a year but we still have as many postal employees as we ever

00:35:19.100 had uh justin trudeau one of his uh dumber promises was to protect home delivery for mail

00:35:26.680 there's still a third of canada's mail is delivered direct to the house five days a week 0.83

00:35:31.500 how much junk mail do you need how many canadian tire flyers do you need

00:35:35.260 i tell you what being a postie is a good gig you make a decent income for a completely unskilled

00:35:41.560 job. And let's not pretend it's a skilled job. If you can walk and you can read, you can be a

00:35:46.560 postie. It's got a good pension, great overtime benefits, the whole works. And they're going on

00:35:54.120 strike. It's not enough. They want more. They want job protections. That's enough. That's enough.

00:36:00.260 Now, will Carney show the courage to do what has to be done? I doubt it because he hasn't shown any

00:36:05.060 yet. What has to be done? Canada Post has got to be cut down to about 20% of what it is. We don't

00:36:10.860 need home delivery five days a week, one or two at best. We don't need home delivery at all,

00:36:17.700 actually. We need it to just centralized mailboxes. I mean, we can lay off the vast

00:36:23.520 majority of those guys. We don't need them. We have email. We have direct deposit. We have

00:36:29.620 electronic billing. We just don't need it anymore. And for those clowns to go on strike yet again, 1.00

00:36:36.300 no, this is the opportunity. This is the time when the federal government should say, that's it, 0.99

00:36:40.680 you're done, you're out. We're cutting it down. But will they? And there's other people saying,

00:36:45.180 well, it's a crown corporation. You know, don't worry. It doesn't cost taxpayers. That's the line

00:36:51.260 they tried to use last fall when these entitled postal monkeys went on strike. And no, because

00:36:58.020 we ended up bailing them out for over a billion dollars. They're losing billions. Now the

00:37:02.780 taxpayers are directly paying for Canada Post. It's much like CBC. It's something that most of

00:37:09.100 don't use anymore, but we're still paying the full price for. And it's got to stop. How many

00:37:13.900 more billions can we afford to pour into a service we don't need? But the federal government might

00:37:20.220 keep going. Let's talk, you know, further on stupid unions. I mean, they always offer a lot of 1.00

00:37:25.560 fodder for us. Unifor, Canada's biggest private sector union, apparently. That's the union that

00:37:33.920 actually is a lot of journalists are members of. And what they are demanding is that Mark Carney

00:37:41.720 crack down on businesses that are trying to leave Canada. Yeah. You understand what kind of scary

00:37:50.740 talk that is? Crack down on businesses leaving Canada. What are you talking about? You're going

00:37:56.540 to steal their assets and not let them move them? You're going to seize them? Are you going to force

00:38:02.100 them to stay in business, put a gun to their head, say, you must operate in this country.

00:38:06.160 We'll charge you if you don't. For people who haven't read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrug, that's just

00:38:11.240 the sort of thing they pulled in that book. People said it was fantasy. Apparently not.

00:38:17.040 Socialism, which is really the kiss and cousin of communism, always fails. Always. There's a 100%

00:38:24.040 record of failure. They suck. It stinks. It doesn't work. It's an ideal and it's dumb. 1.00

00:38:28.540 But we keep trying. We keep trying. Oh, it'll work this time. No, it won't. 0.98

00:38:32.100 And one of the best indicators of why socialism always fails is because the country that imposes it always suddenly has to try and stop the flight of professionals and people of ambition from their jurisdiction.

00:38:48.120 Because they run for it.

00:38:49.420 They vote with their feet. 0.87

00:38:50.320 They get the hell out of there.

00:38:52.160 What do you think?

00:38:52.640 The Soviet Union, the Iron Curtain, North Korea, Cuba.

00:38:56.520 that. You didn't see the United States putting up walls to keep people from fleeing the USA

00:39:05.040 or European capitalist countries didn't have to do that. Sorry, I'm going to sidetrack for a second

00:39:09.840 though. I see somebody who commenting. Fair enough. Jacqueline Littler. I got sidetracked

00:39:15.100 with comments, but this one's important. Sorry, Corey, this senior gets my bills in the mail and

00:39:18.000 I don't do anything online regarding money. Well, I'm sorry, Jacqueline, but that's a you problem.

00:39:24.560 We got to get with the future.

00:39:26.160 If you want nothing but paper stuff delivered to your house,

00:39:29.060 by all means, but you can frigging pay for it.

00:39:31.600 I'm not going to.

00:39:33.340 We don't have the milkman coming to bring you milk every week either anymore.

00:39:37.140 And if you want that, I'm sure you can find a service and pay for it.

00:39:39.600 But it's done. It's over. It's obsolete.

00:39:42.380 If you refuse to change to digital forms of money and communications,

00:39:48.640 that's your problem. Don't make me pay for it.

00:39:51.240 I understand it's harder to change for some things as we get older, but we have to adapt as

00:39:58.080 they go, guys. So, you know, I'm sorry, you've got to start adjusting or we start charging

00:40:04.880 accordingly. So those bills you get in the mail can now charge you $5 a bill for the mailing

00:40:08.940 because you don't need it. You could get it for nothing electronically. You want to write a check

00:40:14.740 and put it in the post, then you should be charged for all of that paperwork and grief for it. Or

00:40:18.660 you can adapt and do it electronically and not pay. So the choice is still yours, but we can't

00:40:25.100 maintain an obsolete system because you don't want to change. You know, we can, I check the mail

00:40:34.640 once a week and mostly it's junk. Most of that reason for that though is because, I mean, I'm

00:40:39.240 lucky Jane spoils me. She's a bookkeeper. She's digitized a lot of what we do, but we don't, 0.99

00:40:43.780 we just don't need this any longer. And we have to adapt and change with it.

00:40:48.980 All right. But I had to sidetrack on that because I heard a similar case on X with somebody else,

00:40:52.500 a guy who was saying, I have lupus and I can't even get to the end of my driveway. And you're

00:40:56.100 saying you're going to take away my home mail delivery service. Oh, yes. That's exactly what

00:41:02.660 I'm saying, Mr. Lupus. Because whilst you have the energy to whine on X, and I do feel for you

00:41:09.700 with having a condition that limits your mobility, if indeed that's the case, I mean, people can say

00:41:13.140 anything on social media but if you've got limited mobility fair enough but if you can't even get to

00:41:19.380 the end of your driveway well how are you getting your food how are you getting your clothing how

00:41:24.340 are you getting to regular doctor's visits something's helping you somebody's helping

00:41:29.380 you well they can also check your mail once a week we can't maintain a mail service that's

00:41:36.100 losing billions of dollars because mr lupus can't get to the end of his driveway we need supports

00:41:42.100 for people who have mobility challenges that's fine and that's fair but we can't we got to get

00:41:47.060 serious about the degree of infrastructure we want to maintain for those exceptional cases

00:41:52.180 and that's what people keep doing they'll keep pulling out the exceptions there's this person

00:41:55.140 and that person and this person and that person that relies on canada post well yes but they're

00:41:59.060 the minority the vast majority don't it's like the people also saying let's preserve the cbc

00:42:05.780 because it's one of the only ones that broadcasts radio up in the arctic

00:42:09.620 I spent four years in the Arctic. And most of the houses when I was working up there 12 years ago

00:42:17.740 already had satellite dishes on all their roofs. Now they all have Starlink. They don't need an AM

00:42:24.240 radio station broadcasting Tradio to them any longer. You know, they still, one of the best

00:42:30.440 things I saw was a young girl with 15, 16 years old, and it was at the Musgrat Jamboree in Inuvik.

00:42:35.320 and uh she uh got on you know she was wearing traditional wear for one of the functions of the 0.94

00:42:41.960 the festival it was really cool you know sort of a newbie alouette uh traditional wear but then she 1.00

00:42:46.880 put her earbuds into her ears and put her snowmobile helmet on and jumped on the snowmobile

00:42:50.560 and went home we can maintain some traditions but you also modernize as you move ahead with those

00:42:56.260 things you know the the world changes and it's incumbent on us to change a little bit with it

00:43:00.940 and it gets harder and harder to change as we move ahead in age. I understand that. I had to

00:43:05.500 help my parents program their VCR, and now I got to call my kid to help me with an app that I can't 0.99

00:43:10.840 figure out my damn phone. But it's still on us. We can't, you know, for the same reason with VCRs, 0.97

00:43:17.220 I don't like streaming. I don't like Netflix. Damn it. The government should pay for blockbusters

00:43:20.960 so I can still rent videos. That's kind of the logic people have when you're talking about

00:43:25.160 preserving a postal system that we just don't need anymore. You know, we'll always have some

00:43:30.660 degree of it, but we can cut this down to a tiny fraction of what it is. We got to think harder,

00:43:34.680 think ahead. As I was saying, we're looking at a possible recession coming up. We got a government

00:43:40.000 that's over a trillion in debt now, and we want to keep pumping billions into a postal service

00:43:46.220 we don't need. We got to prioritize, folks. We got some things to think about. Meanwhile, again,

00:43:50.760 getting back to where I sidetracked myself with my Showtime AHD going on there, ADHD.

00:43:56.000 uniform socialists talking about banning people if we've got capital flight if we've got professionals

00:44:03.980 leaving this country we should be looking at why the hell they're running rather than trying to

00:44:08.080 find ways to squeeze them back into the toothpaste tube because it doesn't work the soviets couldn't 1.00

00:44:12.660 keep the skilled people as i was saying there were the states didn't have to stop people from fleeing

00:44:17.500 their country because they didn't want to flee what happened no cuba they're getting on rickety

00:44:20.960 rafts going through shark infested waters to try and get out of there the the pattern is the same

00:44:25.700 every time. People escape the socialist countries. They come to the capitalist countries. If we have

00:44:31.680 companies and people trying to escape Canada, it's a pretty clear indicator we've gone way too far

00:44:37.960 over to the other side of socialism. We got to correct it fast. If you want to see one of my

00:44:44.400 videos on YouTube, just for a self-plug, I made it years ago when I was working in Steubenville, Ohio.

00:44:48.900 It's a town that was in the Rust Belt. And, you know, it's just near West Virginia, Ohio, across

00:44:55.340 the river from there and it had been in decline it used to have hundreds of thousands of people

00:44:59.700 it was a steel town and it was down to like a 25 percent of what it used to be there's still

00:45:04.000 art deco beautiful buildings downtown but they're all totally empty the problem too when all the

00:45:09.080 skilled and ambitious people leave your jurisdiction the people left behind are usually pretty bloody

00:45:16.480 rough and then it becomes a cycle of despair it just gets worse and worse and you can't break

00:45:21.000 yourself out of that poverty anymore the irony of it was i was trying to hire labor there and it

00:45:25.200 was nearly impossible because they were nothing but welfare dependence and addicted people left

00:45:29.660 and it was really bad either way guys canada's on a scary and ugly trajectory and we've really

00:45:36.300 got to reevaluate our course we can't fix this country we can fix part of it a lot of modern
