Good day. I'm Derek Fildebrandt. Today is October 14th? 14th? Something like that. I do this every
00:04:23.180
time. 13th. There you go. Today is October 13th, 2021. I'm Derek Fildebrandt, publisher of the
00:04:30.560
Western Standard, and you're watching The Pipeline. Today we're going to be going through some very
00:04:35.820
interesting topics. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announcing the rollout of the QR code for vaccine
00:04:42.760
passports. I'm sure there's not been problems in any other provinces. We're going to be talking
00:04:47.780
about the dueling referendums coming up for Albertans on October 18th. That'll be referendums
00:04:54.560
on equalization and daylight savings time. And if you're in Calgary, we get to talk about fluoride
00:04:59.500
again. That's fun. And Alberta's Senate election race. Really not getting much coverage anywhere
00:05:06.160
else. I don't even know if you guys are interested, but we're talking about it anyway. So I hope you
00:05:10.400
are. Before we get started today, I want to thank all of our Western Standard members for your

00:05:38.300
working to provide you with genuine, Western, independent, bailout-free media that doesn't
00:05:44.620
take any money from the government. I think it's worth it. I don't know about you guys.
00:05:49.400
Do you want anything? Yeah. It's okay. Perhaps you might want to introduce us, though. I'm going to.
00:05:54.620
Oh, okay. I'm going to. I thought you'd forgotten. No. Okay. No. Maybe. Maybe I didn't. Maybe you did.
00:06:00.780
Well, okay. Fine. To this side, I got the Western Standard News Editor, Dave Naylor,
00:06:05.640
joining us today. How you doing, Dave? I'm good. You don't think it's a bit too early to be bringing
00:06:09.940
out the Christmas ties? I had green on and green does not work in a green studio. It would have
00:06:16.420
looked like someone caught me with a sword from neck to navel. Not everybody would be opposed to
00:06:22.320
that look. Well, I'm not even introducing you. And then to my other side is some guy who we
00:06:28.840
invite in here to say angry things from time to time. Some call him Cory Morgan. Before we get
00:06:39.940
new show from the Western Standard that premiered
00:07:01.680
Those will kind of be the three core members of
00:07:05.880
the evening, Bill Buick. All of these hail from my time and before when I was in the
00:07:12.000
Wild Rose party. I think these are some really smart individuals who have a lot to add and
00:07:17.080
they're going to be talking about tough issues that you're not going to see covered much
00:07:20.180
elsewhere in the mainstream media and certainly not with perspectives that you're going to
00:07:23.460
be seeing in the government funded media. So check it out if you haven't already. This
00:07:27.720
is going to be a fairly, probably a weekly, possibly bi-weekly show. We're going to figure
00:07:32.540
that out as we go. But if the reaction is good from you guys, we're going to make it
00:07:36.460
as frequently as we possibly can. As well, a programming note on October 18th. Is that
00:07:43.300
Monday next week? Monday. See, I know some dates. It's just not today's. October 18th,
00:07:48.820
Monday next week, we're going to have a live election slash referendum night special. We're
00:07:55.420
going to be in the Western Standard Studio and with some correspondence spread across
00:07:59.320
Alberta, covering the municipal elections. I have to admit, the municipal elections will probably
00:08:06.640
focus largely on Calgary and Edmonton, but we're going to do our best to cover some of at least
00:08:11.740
the medium-sized cities in Alberta. I apologize. Lacrete and Rosemary, we're probably not going
00:08:20.880
to have live election coverage coming from villages like this, but we're going to do our
00:08:24.880
best to not make this too Calgary and Edmonton focused because we know Alberta does not end
00:08:32.100
But we're also going to be covering the equalization referendum with live results coming in.
00:08:37.160
In fact, we're going to have some polling on that probably even later today, I hope,
00:08:44.060
We're going to be covering the daylight savings time referendum as the results come in.
00:08:53.340
I'm a one-issue voter. Fluoride. I just don't know what side of the issue I'm on.
00:08:58.920
Okay, well, let's get started. Speaking of, well, no, we're going to get the equalization in a bit.
00:09:05.020
We're going to start with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney introducing a QR code for the mandatory
00:09:11.460
vaccine passport in Alberta. Dave, take it away.
00:09:14.880
Kenny announced this at a press conference yesterday. By November 15th, Derek, everybody
00:09:20.240
in the province is going to have to have one to prove that they're vaccinated to to get into
00:09:24.720
places like bars and restaurants and and cinemas uh you just download it uh on onto your your phone
00:09:32.800
and your card and uh when you go to a bar you they'll have a machine you scan it and if you've
00:09:39.040
had your vaccinations it'll flash a little green light and you'll be able to uh you'll be able to
00:09:44.080
enter. Show and go, I think is what the Premier called it. He claims that there will be no
00:09:51.580
health information in there and there's absolutely no risk of anybody getting into it or hacking
00:09:57.860
it. Saskatchewan tried this similar thing last month and it only lasted 24 hours before
00:10:04.460
somebody hacked into it and they had to pull the whole system down and start again. So
00:10:10.840
I'm sure as soon as they can, the hackers will be out there trying their damnedest and we'll see how the program works.
00:10:18.740
Well, my deepest sympathies for the Saskatchewan government.
00:10:23.100
I mean, setting up a police state, it takes time and patience and serious technology people.
00:10:29.100
China can do this stuff because they've been doing it forever.
0.99
00:10:32.180
It's a bit harder when we're trying to make the great leap forward for this kind of security to keep people safe.
00:10:42.660
My favorite QR code hacking was actually in Quebec,
00:10:46.140
where people got the QR codes of the Premier and the Health Minister.
00:10:48.880
So people would be, I don't know, they're going to a bar in Quebec.
00:10:52.500
They're in Trois-Rivières somewhere, and they go to the bar.
00:11:02.760
Corey, they're saying there's no information in it.
00:11:06.800
It's just show and go, I don't know, I prefer with the government, I'll show you, you show
00:11:11.800
me a mine, I'll show you, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
00:11:15.680
I'd like to see something from a government, but do you think, how long do you think until
00:11:20.060
these things get either hacked or duplicated and the whole system falls apart?
00:11:26.400
I mean, if they really want to, you know, look into the world of apps, get government
00:11:30.500
bureaucrats out of it and consult with the porn websites.
1.00
00:11:34.460
Those guys are always 10 years ahead on every technological advancement online.
00:11:42.460
I'm giving good advice on economic diversification and how the government can finally get something right.
00:11:50.460
Well hey, in BC they were talking about contracting Pornhub to build glory holes.
00:11:58.460
I'm not sure if you at home can hear this, but our producer James is dying over there.
00:12:03.460
there. I think he's got COVID. But that aside, I mean, this is not reinventing the wheel. QR codes
00:12:09.100
have been used successfully for a lot of things for a long time. Unfortunately, if anybody's going
00:12:13.400
to be able to bugger up and establish technology, it's government. And I honestly hope they get it
00:12:19.460
right. Like businesses, whether you agree or disagree and the whole works of it, they're
00:12:23.640
getting crushed by this purgatory status they're stuck in. Their front end people are getting
00:12:28.740
abused by people when they turn them away uh there are people coming through who just print
00:12:33.340
out documents that appear that they've been vaccinated or not surely no one knows how to
00:12:38.120
use photoshop ah yes so i i could just you know and this gets back to a lot of other things i
00:12:44.240
remember a big presser with notly i believe it was in august standing there with a big printout
00:12:48.660
of a qr code as you say quite often if you want to see what jason kennedy is going to do just see
00:12:52.720
what notly did a little while ago they've come right around to the qr codes but now we're in
00:12:57.020
them, we've got them. I just hope they get it right. I don't hold out a lot of hope.
00:13:02.140
You want them to get it right? I want them to get it wrong. This should hopefully be
00:13:06.860
a complete disaster and we get it thrown out again. We can just go back to photoshopping
00:13:10.500
these things. Well, and I'll use a localized example. My wife Jane was holding a course
0.51
00:13:15.480
for some things she was doing. She scheduled it, she had it fully booked, was ready to
00:13:19.260
go, literally like three days before the course was going to be held. The new restrictions
00:13:24.120
came in, it got shut down, can't do it, refunded everybody's money, all that preparation down
00:13:28.440
the tube. This is one example of thousands and thousands of small businesses that are
00:13:31.660
having a hell of a time trying to get anything done because you don't know day by day what's
00:13:35.800
going to be happening. I'm not saying I want the QR code just to fail. I want it all to fail.
00:13:41.100
Oh, I understand. And looking at the broader picture, that's a bigger thing to look at.
00:13:45.160
But we're just looking from that perspective of bar owners who are dealing with these troubles,
00:13:49.380
store owners, it gives them a means at least, you know, I can scan it, I can set something up,
00:13:54.020
I can actually do it, because right now it's day by day. Well, Corey, I guess, you know,
00:13:59.240
the Western Standard is going to be compliant with the vaccine passport, so your job is now
1.00
00:14:02.980
to stand at the door and scan the codes of everyone coming in, and be polite to them.
00:14:09.560
We should apply for the $2,000 grant then. I was thinking that. It's not the media bailout,
00:14:16.380
It is from the government, but it's not the media bailout.
00:14:19.380
We could donate it to something of fun use, actually, I'm sure if we do.
00:14:23.360
We'll donate it to free Photoshop downloads for people.
00:14:30.140
We have dueling three referendums if you live in Calgary coming up.
00:14:34.920
Maybe there's a couple other referendums in smaller communities around Alberta.
00:14:38.360
But two across Alberta and one more in Calgary.
00:14:48.380
This is one of the few things where I actually prefer someone smart figure it out.
00:14:53.380
I want to vote on half of what the government does.
00:14:56.380
I think a lot more direct democracy would be good.
00:14:58.380
But let's make it on broad general issues, not what does some nerdy dentist say about fluoride.
00:15:09.380
So we had a great guest column that we published over the weekend.
00:15:31.380
So, really, I have really nothing to say about daylight savings.
00:15:36.380
And he said, well, is your duck hunting done before November 7th?
00:15:40.380
He's like, well, no matter what happens, it doesn't change that.
00:15:44.380
But, I don't know, maybe why don't you just quickly summarize his argument in the column and just so we have some information for people about what this bloody referendum is about.
00:15:55.880
Yeah, well he thought it was good when he first heard that there was going to be a referendum, but he did some more looking at it and says no, this is not a good thing.
00:16:06.380
And you look at, if you live in northern Alberta, you're not going to see the sun in the winter
00:16:11.120
until 10 o'clock in the morning. It's, you know, it's just craziness. So he made a persuasive
00:16:21.180
argument. The story is still on the front page of our website. So I encourage everybody to go
00:16:26.600
and take a look at it. But he's definitely a hard no. And, you know, he lays out all his reasons,
00:16:34.280
including those late, late sunrises. I mean, could you imagine living in Hinton or something like that and not seeing the sun until almost lunchtime?
00:16:43.280
Hinton is your example of far northern Alberta?
00:16:49.280
Well, Frank, I think everything north of Erdry is practically Edmonton.
00:16:54.280
Alright, well I think we have a bit more to say about equalization. I just don't know much about daylight savings time.
00:17:01.280
One equalization is coming up, Albertans vote on Monday, Dave, why don't you tell, how is
00:17:09.060
it coming along right now, what's expected, I know we were promising people some polling
00:17:13.040
data, we were teasing that last week, we were trying to raise money for it, we got the money.
00:17:18.280
Why don't you kind of set the table, what can we expect on Monday?
00:17:21.040
Well I think when Premier Kenney first announced the vote, everybody thought it was going to
00:17:26.520
course Albertans don't want to see billions and billions going out and not getting anything
00:17:31.520
in return and seeing Quebec balance their budget with equalization payments and Alberta
00:17:37.340
struggling with billions of dollars worth of debt.
00:17:40.660
So when the referendum was announced, I think everybody thought, oh, easy, 95% are going
00:17:50.780
But the personal unpopularity of Kenny is making the vote tight.
00:17:56.900
And it's going to be a lot closer than a lot of people initially thought, I think, Derek.
00:18:00.800
And it's certainly not a slam dunk at this point.
00:18:06.160
And I think the numbers in our poll later on today will show that.
00:18:10.660
Yeah, so I don't want to give too much, but I've been begging our pollster for some results.
00:18:20.300
So I might have to eat this in just a few hours when we have the numbers, but the preliminary
00:18:24.160
results that we've gotten, again, not official, is that it's about 60% intend to vote yes,
00:18:31.100
that is to remove equalization from the Constitution.
00:18:35.800
Corey, what are your, I mean, I guess, I agree with Dave, maybe not, it was probably never
00:18:42.740
going to be 95%, but I expect it to be 75, 80%, and I think in normal times we probably
00:18:48.200
would achieve that. Do you think the unpopularity of Premier
00:18:53.120
Kenney is the primary driving factor behind this? Or is it perhaps that Albertans are
00:19:01.200
A bit of everything. And in some of it, there's some heavy duty opponents. You know, the people
00:19:05.640
who love the status quo, like Andrew Leach, Notley's favorite economist, has been beating
00:19:11.840
on this right from day one to saying, you're wasting your time. We shouldn't be wasting
00:19:16.000
even ballot money on this, we shouldn't be doing this.
00:19:27.580
I hope and think most Albertans see through that.
00:19:32.460
to be upset with Kenny before voting on this thing
00:19:40.020
they're brighter and that's what we're gonna see.
00:19:41.520
I think 60, 65 against, it would have been higher
00:19:44.000
if they hadn't managed to have such an anti-campaign,
00:19:48.900
so you're pro-equalization, you're pro this broken system
00:19:52.280
that has stunted the economic development of Canada for decades?
00:19:57.420
Well, they don't seem to be able to run, to fight those guys
00:20:00.720
because there is no yes campaign from the government.
00:20:06.060
He knows that if soon as he puts his face on television
00:20:09.080
and tells people that, and gets out there and puts his face on this,
00:20:14.780
I expect it to pass without a triumphal margin,
00:20:25.940
but if Kenny went out there and started campaigning,
00:20:30.080
So this means that there is no big organized yes campaign.
00:20:38.020
and I think a few other groups working together.
00:20:42.820
It's, you know, just kind of these ragtag groups doing their thing.
1.00
00:20:48.180
Normally when the government launches a referendum, it, you know, does something, but they can't.
00:20:56.260
He said this week, you know, he only needs 50% plus one, right?
00:21:00.060
I mean, to me, that would be an abject failure.
00:21:04.260
You know, he was certainly when he announced it, hoping for a lot larger majority, but
00:21:09.920
He says he'll be happy with, you know, just the 50%.
00:21:13.080
I mean, one of the main critiques of Kenny, I think,
00:21:15.400
from those of us on the conservative end of the spectrum has been
00:21:17.540
the Fair Deal panel has just been a farce kicking it down the road.
00:21:24.520
This was one of the things you came through on.
00:21:27.100
So, I mean, at least show him, again, get out there,
00:21:29.300
don't worry about Kenny and so on, vote on this,
00:21:32.580
because he can use this as an excuse not to carry forward
00:21:37.580
Apparently they're comfortable with Ottawa and the way things are.
00:21:40.160
So we don't need to do all the other stuff that I promised in order to get elected.
00:21:47.160
Well, I'm not, the problem is, like, yeah, I'm going to vote yes.
00:21:54.860
The only way anything would happen is if you, if I say, Corey, I'm angry at you.
00:22:08.660
And this is, so voting yes in this referendum is saying,
00:22:11.940
Corey, I'm really angry and I'd like you to change.
00:22:18.420
Alberta has no gun pointed at Ottawa saying, you fix this or else.
00:22:24.120
And so we're going to have this and it'll, I'm sure it'll feel good,
00:22:29.420
Well, let's help and load the gun for our man in Edmonton,
00:22:31.800
who has been weak-kneed with Ottawa since he got in despite his tough talk.
00:22:35.220
So, again, it's more pressure to say, look, we want you to do something on this.
00:22:39.740
Do it during your last couple of months in power.
00:22:42.600
Hunter Buck says within two years, nothing changes.
00:22:49.860
Okay, yeah, but the equalization formula, nothing's changing unless something crazy happens.
00:22:55.260
Corey becomes the UCP leader and the premier of the province.
00:23:05.220
Okay. Well, let's turn towards the Senate election. Dave, we've got six candidates running from the CPC and PPC and a number of other independents. Maybe set the table of where are the different campaigns at right now and what are your predictions for what happens on Monday with the Senate election?
00:23:23.480
I think it'll be a case of if the voters educated themselves, if they know what they're voting for, or if they're just going to blindly vote along party lines.
00:23:35.160
You know, the People's Party of Canada was picking up support in Alberta when the election, federal election ended.
00:23:43.900
Do they, does their slate of candidates get elected?
00:23:47.900
Or does Alberta, as they normally do, vote a conservative slate in?
00:23:59.200
And then the question is, will Trudeau ever appoint any of them?
00:24:09.740
And, you know, he certainly snubbed Alberta when he appointed the last senator from the
00:24:17.920
You know, he could have chosen an elected one, but he didn't.
00:24:25.620
And as you said, it's not getting a lot of coverage in the mainstream media.
00:24:31.900
But it is, yes, it's almost like the equalization vote.
00:24:37.260
It's a way to show your disdain for the current system by getting out there and voting for
00:24:42.980
the Senator of your choice and hopefully one day they live long enough to get appointed.
00:24:49.080
I think it'll probably be, why don't we split it, let's say two Conservatives, one PPC.
00:24:56.380
You think a PPC will get them to the top three, eh?
00:25:03.980
And is there any point to these Senate elections anymore?
00:25:07.480
I mean, there's a 0% chance any of them are really going to the Senate likely.
00:25:17.020
Well, there's less than 1% with the current Prime Minister.
00:25:20.780
I believe it's, what, a five or eight year mandate for elected Senators to sit in waiting.
00:25:26.960
So perhaps the government might have changed radically within a few years and then a new
00:25:32.580
I mean, over the course of the next two years, there's no way they're getting in.
00:25:40.380
I'd rather stand on principle than loose, and at least just keep pushing and saying.
00:25:44.520
So we will have some high ground to stand on when Trudeau picks some liberal hack.
00:25:48.860
David Kahn or somebody who did their time leading the flaccid Alberta Liberal Party
00:25:52.760
and give them their reward in the Senate, much like Grant Mitchell and others.
00:25:59.780
One of the things they can't counter with was, well, who would you rather see?
00:26:04.180
We put that in front of you and you refused to acknowledge it.
00:26:07.280
So it's a limited exercise, but I still support it.
00:26:11.220
Second part of my question, what's your prediction?
00:26:15.700
The two and one, perhaps, if the PPC can concentrate that support.
00:26:19.580
It's difficult, though, because a conservative supporter is going to go out
00:26:21.800
and probably pick all three conservatives.
0.88
00:26:23.660
The PPC is going to come out and pick all three PPC,
00:26:28.760
I mean, strategically, in this unique kind of election,
00:26:31.580
It's difficult. The PPC might have been better to have one candidate to just try and stand out and garner that much focused voting.
00:26:39.580
It's really weird math, because if you did just one candidate, I would suppose, maybe not all, but a lot of PPC voters would say they'd vote for their one PPC candidate,
00:26:49.580
and then the Tories get extra two votes on everything else, and then it would put them way over the top.
00:26:55.580
Actually, if you don't run three, there's almost a 0% chance any of them would.
00:26:59.740
So, no, hopefully, you know, I'd like to flavor it up.
00:27:03.280
The game theory around Senate elections, because there's three, and it's not preferential.
00:27:07.840
If it was preferential ballot, I would agree, but it's not preferential.
00:27:10.740
It's just three equal votes with three equal standings.
00:27:13.660
And part of what hurt this, too, was, again, unfortunately, our Premier here just can't seem to get anything right,
00:27:23.540
I remember Reform actually had to form a provincial branch of a party just so that they could run candidates.
00:27:31.480
If you remember way back, because they kept that Reform party actually registered as a provincial party in Alberta for quite some years,
00:27:45.400
But it used to be a provincial endeavor, and you had a variety of parties.
00:27:48.500
And it was a provincial party only for the purpose of Senate candidates.
00:27:51.640
Exactly. And now, you know, with Premier Kennedy doing it this way, you have to be a federal party, so the Wilders Independence Party is out.
00:27:59.580
But the federal parties can't spend money. You then have to have a provincial party behind it, but the provincial party doesn't appear on the ballot.
00:28:04.760
It's a ridiculous thing, you know. It's a bizarre system.
00:28:06.480
And the Alberta party, perhaps? Maybe they would have thrown somebody in if they'd had the chance. Who knows?
00:28:13.580
Yeah. Well, at the very least, no one can, there's no boogeyman about splitting the vote.
00:28:17.560
because, well, other than some independents running,
00:28:30.040
So you're saying Duncan Kinney's got no chance.
00:28:35.100
And Doug Horner, Alston Redford's finance minister,
00:28:44.900
probably just three and three Tories, but I would expect the PPC is probably going to make a fairly
00:28:51.480
strong showing. Probably, I imagine they're going to probably outperform their province-wide vote
00:28:57.500
from the last federal election. What was that like? What was it? Roughly 10-ish. 8 to 10. I mean,
00:29:04.360
they could probably do 15, maybe as high as 20. I'd be surprised if they make it into the top three,
00:29:13.640
But I think they're going to significantly outperform how they did the federal election
00:29:19.160
It's not going to change who the government is.
00:29:20.460
In fact, this person is very, very, very unlikely to even take their seat.
00:29:27.060
We talk about the equalization vote and the hatred for Kenny.
00:29:30.580
There may also be some fallback on Aaron O'Toole for his performance in the federal election.
00:29:35.900
You may get some conservatives out here who didn't appreciate his campaign and vote PPC.
00:29:42.460
Are people going to, this is maybe another question for you guys.
00:29:46.860
Are people going to, on the ballot it says Conservative Party of Canada, but it's a provincial election in this weird, bizarre system we've been failing to explain to people.
00:29:57.920
Are people going to view these Senate candidates from the Conservative Party as Aaron O'Toole candidates or as Jason Kenney candidates?
00:30:05.900
Yeah, officially it says Conservative Party of Canada, but eh, it's definitely makes sense.
00:30:11.900
Is the average voter going to see this as Aaron O'Toole's people or Jason Kenney's people?
00:30:15.900
I think because it's happening with all the other provincial stuff.
00:30:20.900
I would think more people would lean towards the Kenney side.
00:30:23.900
These Kenney's people or these O'Toole's people?
0.92
00:30:25.900
I think the candidates are hoping it will be O'Toole's people considering Kenney's popularity right now.
00:30:30.900
But, yeah, being a provincial initiative, I think they're going to look at it that way.
00:30:36.360
Yeah, it'll be weird, but I suspect it'll be a lot more provincial than they would like it to be perceived as.
00:30:44.380
I mean, Aaron O'Toole is not widely liked in Alberta, but he's not outright loathed the way Jason Kenney is by many right now.
00:30:51.440
I think people have just a large enouye towards Aaron O'Toole, which is a much better spot to be in than, say, Jason Kenney.
00:31:00.900
People will have to watch our special on Monday night for the results.
00:31:06.800
Yes, Monday night, 7 o'clock, Mountain Standard Time.
00:31:10.440
We will be doing a live election slash referendum night special.
00:31:33.900
I'll bring, maybe I'll bring my barbecue into the office.
00:31:45.900
Also, I don't have the date of it yet, but stand by the Western Standard Uncensored,
00:31:51.900
our new panel of Bruce McAllister, Danielle Smith, and Rob Anderson.
00:31:57.900
going to be back. We're going to give you a date for their next show coming up fairly
00:32:00.800
soon here. But if you haven't seen what they've done yet, go back and watch the show they
00:32:04.840
did last night. It was really good. I was impressed. I normally don't watch any of this,
00:32:10.300
but it was the first show we did of that series, so I had it on in my ear as was being recorded
00:32:15.420
live over in my office, and it was damn good. I watched it the second time. I'm not even
00:32:20.320
in it. Maybe that's why it was good. I thought you were at the start. Oh, well, yeah, I'm
00:32:24.020
