00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.000 Thank you.
00:01:00.000 Hey there, welcome to the October 13th Corey Morgan Show.
00:01:25.780 this is the last one before the big round of civic elections all over Alberta. I'm going to be
00:01:31.420 speaking to one more Senate election candidate. Not enough media outlets or much of people in
00:01:36.500 general have really been paying attention to them, but it is an important exercise. It's a
00:01:40.560 traditional Albertan exercise to try and choose our senators anyways. And it's worth paying
00:01:45.480 attention to. You're going in there to cast a vote. You may as well have it as informed as you
00:01:50.060 possibly can. I mean, there is a chance these people are going to end up in as senators and
00:01:53.700 you really want them to be representing you as well as possible. There's been other new things
00:01:59.620 coming along with the Western Standard, by the way. Last night was the maiden episode of a new
00:02:04.500 series we're doing called Uncensored. It's hosted by Bruce McAllister. It had Danielle Smith on it,
00:02:11.640 Rob Anderson, and they spoke on equalization. And they're going to be coming on fairly regularly
00:02:17.500 with this show and touching areas. I believe they're going to be touching about vaccination
00:02:20.520 soon so that's not controversial at all and other areas again that the rest of the mainstream media
00:02:25.080 isn't covering so this is my chance to remind you if you haven't subscribed to the youtube channel
00:02:31.800 to the facebook channels things such as that get on those of course subscribe to the western
00:02:36.640 standard itself that's how we pay our bills that's how we make these shows that's how we
00:02:40.480 could do this we rely on you we're not taking tax dollars in order to do this we got a great deal
00:02:45.040 go to westernstandardonline.com, check it out. You can take out a 15-day free trial membership
00:02:51.120 and I'm pretty sure you'll be happy to carry on the membership after that. 10 bucks a month,
00:02:55.640 you'll get to see everything we put out there, full immersed coverage of issues again that the
00:03:00.320 mainstream media just won't do. So please do so and keep an eye on those channels to see when
00:03:05.020 these specials come up and when they come out so you can take part in these things. They're great,
00:03:08.780 they're interactive, it's the new modern media. So I mean I'll talk about one of the things that
00:03:13.120 hasn't been talked about much as well. For people who aren't familiar with him, there's a guy I like
00:03:16.840 to refer to as NDP Joe. He's an emergency room doctor in Alberta. Very active one. He's Joe
00:03:23.880 Vipond. You've probably seen him on all the mainstream TV channels if you still torture
00:03:28.340 yourself by watching those with the evening news because he's their go-to medical expert
00:03:33.060 for pretty much anything. If they want a doctor to crap on the UCP, Joe is their man. And why so?
00:03:40.820 Well, he's an emergency room doctor.
00:03:43.260 It looks good.
00:03:43.700 I mean, he's in his scrubs everywhere he goes.
00:03:45.740 It's kind of funny if you watch it, Google him, have a look.
00:03:48.260 This guy must take his showers with his scrubs on.
00:03:51.520 But if you look into him, he's donated also tens of thousands of dollars to the NDP.
00:03:55.920 Now, he's got the right to do that.
00:03:58.840 That's your right as a citizen.
00:03:59.820 That's democracy.
00:04:00.640 That's the way it goes.
00:04:01.360 I'm okay with that.
00:04:02.720 But don't put this guy on and pretend he's a medical unbiased expert.
00:04:08.140 He's an activist who happens to be a doctor.
00:04:10.820 Big difference. Either way, NDP Joe has been, you know, waving his fingers at us and chiding us and talking about Albertans are all getting sick. He's going to save us all. He's always wearing his, well, actually, I found some footage where he was talking to reporters without his mask. But when he's doing his formal events, he wears his mask and his scrubs. There's even one where he had his stethoscope on. I guess he might have to do an emergency heart rate checkout on the streets or something. But he's also hardcore into his climate change world. He's trying to turn his own daughter into a young
00:04:40.820 Greta Thunberg. Yes, he's put her out there and getting on to lawsuits against the federal 0.71
00:04:47.300 government for climate change, things such as that. And NDP Joe was announcing on Twitter
00:04:51.620 that he's flying to the conference in Dublin to fight climate change with his daughter.
00:04:57.620 He was asking about accommodations. I'm sure you'll know him if you see him at the airport,
00:05:01.020 because he'll be the guy wearing his scrubs going through customs. And he is showing hypocrisy at
00:05:07.520 the highest of levels. I mean, this is really showing the coverage you get and it's showing
00:05:10.280 the mainstream crap they feed you this guy this activist this is almost extremist and pure hypocrite 0.75
00:05:16.600 to tell us how to live tell us to shut in our oil fields tell us to get vaccinated tell us to mask 0.64
00:05:20.760 up when he doesn't mask up now flying to a potential super spreader event across the ocean
00:05:25.560 with his daughter that he's turning into a nice prop uh to to try and shut down our industries
00:05:30.920 out here flying he's not sailing a boat like little greta did there for that publicity stunt 0.60
00:05:35.480 it's just vile. And it's worth exposing and it's worth pointing these people out. People have their
00:05:41.420 biases, they have their opinions, they have the right to that. But if you're going to present
00:05:44.820 them on mainstream media all the time as if these guys are focused on just the issues or just what
00:05:49.520 they're talking about, that's completely untrue, particularly in the case of old NDP Joe. So yeah,
00:05:55.420 if you have me at the airport and, you know, see him walking around with his stethoscope and things,
00:05:58.940 you know, wish him bon voyage on his carbon burning trip across the sea, probably in first
00:06:03.600 class it wouldn't surprise me but that's the way it goes getting on to big government and idiocy
00:06:09.200 and media too so there's a story in the western standard just that reminder westernstandardonline.com
00:06:13.600 this one was great it's from lacrete alberta it's a northern alberta little town
00:06:18.080 they some people there applied to have a german language show on a radio station up there they're
00:06:23.120 just going to speak german go on it you know calgary you twist that dial you can hear all
00:06:26.640 sorts of different languages on different radio stations and cool you know if you don't understand
00:06:30.400 the language don't listen it's not that hard but the crtc canadian radio telecommunications
00:06:35.200 commission turned them down for their license said no no you can't have a german language
00:06:39.520 radio station up there why why do they even have to ask permission i mean who cares the
00:06:45.520 the closest that we need a regulator for for these kinds of things is to say okay this is
00:06:50.160 the spectrum of available radio frequencies these are the licensed broadcasters who are using them
00:06:55.680 and the strength of broadcast so that way they're not overlapping with each other you know you don't
00:06:58.800 start your little station and then somebody with a bigger budget and a bigger antenna
00:07:02.160 isn't it always such a measuring contest between those bigger antennas comes along drowns out your
00:07:07.360 little station and you're pushed out so you need a regulatory body for that that's fine aside from
00:07:12.560 that and i guess making sure you're not doing anything obscene or criminal on it it's none of
00:07:15.680 their bloody business the language doesn't matter or the format or what they're covering the crtc if 0.59
00:07:21.200 you want to get a radio station going you've got to run a gauntlet and there's a whole number of
00:07:24.960 things they cover, you can or can't do. There's where again, I mean, you know, these guys were
00:07:30.220 just trying to make their private German station up there. I don't know how much market there really
00:07:33.200 is, but power to them. We've got alternative media. We got shows like this one. We got shows
00:07:38.980 like Uncensored that's going to be coming. You know, well, we had the other one last night. Look
00:07:42.380 it up on our YouTube channel or on westernstandardonline.com. The story is posted there.
00:07:46.120 You can click through, see the video. We need to evolve. We need to get away. We need to bypass
00:07:51.200 the crtc and there's another scary thing is the liberal government got re-elected and trudeau's
00:07:56.160 little lackey there gilbo has always been talking about controlling the media controlling the
00:08:00.400 conversation controlling access they don't want to see shows like this publications like the western
00:08:06.080 standard bypassing their government control we can't let them do that so we've got to make these
00:08:11.840 alternative media publications and streaming services things like that as strong as possible
00:08:18.560 makes it too big to fail. So the federal government, whether they like us or not,
00:08:22.260 can't get rid of us because it's important because if they're the only ones who control
00:08:25.380 the message, we're only getting one message and it's not going to be a good one. Just one more
00:08:31.680 thing, I guess, I just want to rant quickly about before I get on my guest, it's going to be Pam
00:08:35.340 Davison. She's running for Senate, as I said earlier. The vote's going to be on Monday. You
00:08:40.040 got a whole pile of things to vote on, by the way, the equalization referendum, your Senate
00:08:44.320 candidates. If you're in Calgary, there's a fluoridation one. There's the time change one.
00:08:48.780 It's going to be a whole lot of ballots to pick from, but please get out and vote. It's important.
00:08:52.140 I know you're tired. I know it feels useless. I know it feels frustrating, but it's the only chance
00:08:56.180 you got. It's the best you got. Get out there, use it, and then at least you've got the reason
00:09:00.340 to be twice as pissed off if the government doesn't follow through with what you democratically chose
00:09:04.100 on your ballots, including your Senate-elect, whether they end up in the Senate or not.
00:09:09.100 time will tell. And we are in a big bunch of trouble. We need to get on our government's
00:09:14.560 case. So those who've been watching the issues, there's an energy crisis coming.
00:09:18.540 India is buying up coal like crazy. China is buying up coal like crazy. Here's the irony of
00:09:24.120 the green movement that's been shutting down energy projects. We can't get LNG terminals
00:09:28.860 approved. We can't get pipelines through. And suddenly a cold winter is approaching.
00:09:34.900 India and China are buying up coal like nobody's business. They've been buying up the natural gas
00:09:39.080 from Russia. And it looks like Europe might be freezing to death this winter. And meanwhile,
00:09:44.160 idiots like Dr. Vipond are going across the pond to tell us why we should still further
00:09:48.620 increase this energy crisis. Now, Alberta is sitting on a massive amount of energy resources.
00:09:54.140 Western Canada is the territories are. Natural gas, we have a 300 year supply of natural gas
00:09:59.260 at the rate we're going. We can't get it out of here. The only place we can sell it to is the
00:10:02.980 states. And they're not a good customer. Look how Biden was with the Keystone Pipeline. Listen to
00:10:07.840 deafening silence as Gretchen Whitmer is trying to shut down line five. We need to get stuff to
00:10:12.480 the coast. We need to get to a broader market. And that means we need to fight through Prime
00:10:16.320 Minister clown shoes to get this stuff approved for the sake of Canada's energy security and us
00:10:21.480 bringing money in to pay off some of this bloody debt we've been taking on for this pandemic
00:10:25.200 nightmare that's been going on and on and on. Maybe regional representatives were what they're
00:10:31.780 supposed to be. That's what the Senate's supposed to be about. We'll speak up on our behalf. They
00:10:36.900 did actually, the Senate came close to almost changing C-69 and C-48. They woke up from their
00:10:41.520 sleepy slumber a little bit and pushed back, still failed in the end, but it did bring it into the
00:10:45.260 news for a little while. Maybe some senators are going to fight on our behalf as we go down this
00:10:50.300 energy crisis road. So I'll be talking to Pam Davidson and she may be our next Senate elector, 0.92
00:10:55.400 one of the three that are chosen in Alberta, and we'll see what she has to say on the issues.
00:11:00.860 Okay, I'm joined today with Pam Davidson. She's one of three Conservative Party of
00:11:05.480 candidates, Senate candidates coming up. We're running for this race that's coming up on Monday
00:11:11.240 the 18th. We've been speaking to a few Senate candidates all the way through. And it's, as I
00:11:16.320 said in my introduction to the show, a very important race, even if it doesn't feel like it,
00:11:20.980 people really need to pay attention and take advantage of the ability to choose because it's
00:11:25.380 an important right to push for. So thank you very much for joining me today, Pam.
00:11:29.160 Yeah, I appreciate and thank you for having me.
00:11:32.200 So maybe I'll get you to break it down a bit though.
00:11:35.680 As you've been out campaigning, people are going to have a choice for Senate on their ballot when they go in for their municipal races.
00:11:41.840 And they're going to have to choose three people, I believe in this.
00:11:45.500 Yep, that is right.
00:11:46.880 Well, you don't have to choose three people, but you are able to choose three people, three candidates of your choice.
00:11:52.460 I believe there's 13 or so of us running.
00:11:55.060 So there's definitely a wide range of opportunity to vote for candidates that you really support.
00:12:02.240 Yeah, well, that's why I'm really trying to speak to as many people as I can,
00:12:05.820 because it's hard when you've got so many other issues as well going on,
00:12:08.880 mayoral races, an equalization referendum.
00:12:12.040 We want people to also distinguish and make a nuanced choice.
00:12:17.060 So I'll start with yourself, though.
00:12:18.440 What made you personally feel that you should put your name forward as a Senate candidate?
00:12:23.400 yeah over the last six or seven years i've slowly gotten more and more involved in politics and
00:12:28.920 i really believe that alberta is the right time for myself to put my name forward to represent
00:12:34.760 alberta on a country-wide stage or national stage i think it's it's very important to represent
00:12:43.640 what true albertans what true conservatives want in their senate nominees great so perhaps
00:12:52.200 if we could start what would the top three issues were you to be elected as senator would you like
00:12:57.960 to bring to ottawa on behalf of albertans and and advocate for us on yeah i think the number one
00:13:04.200 issue that i have as i've been out campaigning i've met with over 37 different municipalities
00:13:09.480 and their local council and mayors and i would say the biggest issue for most of them would be
00:13:15.960 broadband getting broadband into rural alberta um is definitely one of the the best the biggest
00:13:22.600 issues that we have here in alberta so that would be my first one my second one would be protecting
00:13:27.720 small businesses and with that comes property rights uh gun rights all all that kind of stuff
00:13:35.080 and then the third one would be our our uh i would say protecting our liberties and standing
00:13:40.360 it for the constitution and uh and our charter of rights which is lacking very much in the last two
00:13:46.200 years yeah that's a big issue all into itself right to the the first one you brought up i was
00:13:52.360 just kind of happy to hear that that's the first time i've heard that in political uh campaign
00:13:57.960 realms was the broadband issue i i live in prittis just outside of calgary and my internet access
00:14:04.440 isn't much better than it was when i did through dial-up and uh this is what i think is great with
00:14:09.640 the Senate races though, and having different candidates is that we're going to bring up these
00:14:13.940 issues that you wouldn't hear in a mainstream party race. You know, we have our voices. We
00:14:18.080 are concerned about it, but you never would have heard about that in a federal election or a
00:14:21.100 provincial one. Yeah, that's very true. I mean, I live in rural Alberta myself. There's lots of
00:14:26.680 meetings that I've had to say, oh, sorry, I can't zoom in today, but I can call in because my
00:14:31.040 internet's just not strong enough to keep me connected with it. So it's definitely something
00:14:36.340 that i experienced myself as a rural albertan and uh there's so many communities that they want to
00:14:42.980 keep people in their communities and one way to do that is to open up broadband to that to their
00:14:48.820 communities and small businesses need it kids need it if they end up having to go online school
00:14:54.500 um you know to work at home this last two years has been a huge it's been a huge struggle for
00:15:00.660 rural Alberta and they they just really want to have a better access to stronger and better
00:15:07.060 broadband yeah well and it's an item of economic diversity I mean we're coming into a recovery
00:15:13.740 the world has changed I mean a lot more people are working from home than we ever imagined in
00:15:18.160 the past and if we're trying to draw new companies or new workers giving people the ability to do so
00:15:23.020 from home would be great but they need that consistent ability to get online for that
00:15:29.520 Yeah.
00:15:29.940 And I mean, the fortunate thing for me is I've been to lots of different
00:15:32.900 communities, so there's actually a few communities that I will be reaching out
00:15:36.720 to after I win this election and they've already got broadband into their
00:15:42.540 community, so then I can take it to the next level and bring it to more of a
00:15:47.440 rural Alberta and be a real strong voice in that area.
00:15:51.440 Great.
00:15:51.760 Well, and I'll move on to your last item there, which is a huge one though,
00:15:56.840 individual liberties, I imagine the Charter of Rights, I mean, there's whole sections of
00:16:00.900 libraries based on that. How would you advocate for those? Which areas do you feel are being
00:16:07.000 infringed upon or at risk right now? How many areas are not being infringed upon and at risk
00:16:12.480 right now? How will I advocate for that? I mean, I really believe that each bill that the House of
00:16:18.180 Commons puts through needs to be looked at and actually the senators need to step back and
00:16:24.360 remember their role and we need to get out and make sure that each of these bills um one stands
00:16:30.760 up to the constitution stands up to our charter and doesn't uh override those and um in the
00:16:38.680 political view that or atmosphere that we have now i i'm not i mean i'm i'm just gonna put my voice
00:16:44.520 there and i'm gonna learn as much as i can and and be a strong voice for alberta um at the senate
00:16:51.160 level and make sure that all of the bills that come through definitely are good for Alberta and
00:16:56.720 not bad for Alberta. Yeah, well, that's, I mean, there's a lot of argument about Senate reform, 0.96
00:17:02.920 what we want to change with it. But one advantage you would have as a senator, once a senator is in,
00:17:08.800 they can't be taken out unless they've done something profoundly terrible. But that also
00:17:13.300 immunizes you from party pressures, things such as that you'll speak for, well, at least you have
00:17:18.720 the ability to speak for your constituents first rather than what a party leader may be telling you
00:17:23.100 or you know somebody who's striving for a broader political agenda yeah that's very correct i
00:17:28.740 definitely am a conservative party of canada member i'm a strong conservative i grew up in
00:17:34.540 alberta i get what it means to live in alberta you know my dad is in the oil field so i have that
00:17:39.940 experience there and then my husband's in health care and then we you know we live in rural alberta
00:17:45.860 We have a farm ourselves.
00:17:47.060 So agriculture is another area that, you know, I'm learning lots
00:17:50.360 about and figuring out, but yeah, it's just super important to stand
00:17:55.860 up for actual Albertans and first and foremost, and that, that is my number
00:18:01.360 one promise to people is that I will first and foremost stand up for my
00:18:05.460 constituents and that's all of Alberta.
00:18:08.660 Great.
00:18:08.960 So I challenge you would have had this time around.
00:18:11.160 Everybody has it this year of elections are the restrictions getting around.
00:18:14.860 You can't hold, or at least not easily hold large town hall sort of meetings,
00:18:18.880 things such as that.
00:18:19.960 How has your campaign been working for this last couple of months?
00:18:22.480 What have you been doing to reach out to Albertans?
00:18:24.700 Yeah, mostly I have been going around to all areas of the province.
00:18:29.800 Personally, I've gone down south to meeting with the municipalities and hoping
00:18:34.740 to get my name out as I meet with the councillors and the mayors that they
00:18:38.440 will help get my name into the community.
00:18:41.700 And so having said that, I've gone all the way to 34 kilometers from the southern border, all the way up to La Crete, all the way over to Spirit River, and then all around central Alberta, just everywhere, right?
00:18:55.340 Anyone that's invited me have been to Lloydminster and met their mayor there.
00:19:00.120 They actually have a unique opportunity there.
00:19:03.140 They don't hold municipal elections the same time as Alberta does.
00:19:07.380 they followed the Saskatchewan side,
00:19:09.740 but they are holding a special election for the Senate and for the referendum
00:19:14.100 questions. So that was pretty neat to, to hear that they are doing that.
00:19:17.820 So getting the vote out there is very, very important.
00:19:20.820 And I think that myself getting out to all these communities,
00:19:24.460 taking the time to go meet with council and mayors to find out what their
00:19:28.620 communities really are needing in representation has been key.
00:19:33.060 Yeah, Lloyd Minster is an interesting one to bring up and I know First Nations communities have experienced the same problem because their council elections and things are on a separate timetable from the Alberta one. So providing ballots and the ability for people to get out has been more challenging. And I guess that makes it a little harder. I mean, right now, you can campaign to people say, well, you're going to vote for mayor. So, you know, please consider this while you're there. You've got to say, well, you can't vote for mayor, but come on out to vote on your Senate and equalization.
00:20:01.960 Yeah, my team actually put together an instructional video that they sent out to all of the First Nations Reserves and the people that live out there to help them to navigate through the voting system and figure that out.
00:20:19.100 So yeah, I think that's my biggest challenge is to get people to be really engaged in this election and get out to vote.
00:20:26.720 So assuming you become one of the three people selected to be an Alberta senator, you become a senator-in-waiting.
00:20:34.000 Now, that waiting period could be very variable.
00:20:37.200 I mean, you might get put in next week.
00:20:39.760 It might be quite some years from now.
00:20:42.440 What sort of activity as a senator-in-waiting would you be doing, I guess, in anticipation?
00:20:46.460 I mean, you're not just going to sit and wait for the phone call.
00:20:48.920 Yeah, I would assume that after I become a senator-in-waiting, that Alberta, because they are advocating for this, and this is something that's really important to Albertans, that they will help me get my name behind things such as broadband, standing up for Alberta in any way I can, having a platform, supporting the governments that we have in the areas that will support Albertans.
00:21:13.680 Great. So where, where can people find out information about you or, or the Senate race
00:21:19.320 or things like that in general? I imagine you, of course you have a campaign website and a number
00:21:23.180 of other areas. Yeah. So I have all of the social media. I have a Twitter, Facebook. Um, I'm not
00:21:29.200 sure if I have Instagram, but I, but I do have a great website that, uh, my team has put together
00:21:35.280 and it's at www.pamdavidson.com.
00:21:40.100 Great, www.pamdavidson.com.
00:21:43.360 Well, that was great.
00:21:44.160 Actually, I think it might be .ca, sorry.
00:21:46.540 Okay, great, .ca.
00:21:47.920 And I'm sure if they Google Pam Davidson Senate, 0.99
00:21:50.140 it'll bring you there as well.
00:21:51.860 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:52.420 So it's good to get more detail
00:21:54.820 and be able to contact you or support you or help as well
00:21:57.940 if they're interested in taking part in this last week
00:22:00.860 of the election to get the vote out and that sort of push.
00:22:03.200 Right, exactly.
00:22:04.200 And I appreciate you guys taking the time to give me a platform to come on and talk about my, my, my nomination.
00:22:12.100 We're happy to.
00:22:13.000 Is there anything else you'd like to add before I let you get back on the campaign road there?
00:22:16.600 I think the biggest thing that people I'd like them to know about me being different is one thing is that I hold my, my RPAL and many people will know what that is.
00:22:26.260 And I think that's a super good indication of how Albertan I really am and how much I believe in our liberties and standing up for property rights is very, very important to me.
00:22:40.420 Excellent. Well, thanks for joining me today and looking forward to seeing how the results come in on Monday night.
00:22:46.280 Yes. Thank you very much, Corey, for your time.
