Western Standard - THE PIPELINE： The Liberals & Supreme Court’s war on the Constitution

00:00:00.000 G'day, today is March 25th, 2026. I'm Derek Fildebrandt, publisher of the Western Standard,

00:00:29.160 and you're watching the pipeline i've got the usual crew here today former western standard

00:00:33.780 opinion editor nigel annaford good evening good afternoon good evening cd alberta comas cory

00:00:39.720 morgan and uh criminal of the six sickening nation yes most wanted most wanted criminal

00:00:46.940 yeah accused and a sudden till proven guilty but you are most wanted the most wanted guys

00:00:53.000 are normally not yet caught yeah i don't know if they haven't been convicted yet so yeah um and uh

00:00:58.900 our vice president and news editor

00:01:01.500 Dave Naylor. Hello everybody.

00:01:04.640 Alright. Well

00:01:05.640 you have just six days left

00:01:07.660 to give Mark Carney your guns

00:01:09.700 more or less. You have six days left

00:01:11.520 actually. That's the short version for the headline

00:01:13.700 but really you have six days left

00:01:15.660 to tell Ottawa

00:01:17.360 that you have guns that they should come and

00:01:19.600 steal from you. Because if you don't

00:01:21.780 tell them

00:01:22.240 I guess they're not going to really know that you

00:01:25.700 have guns that they want to steal from you.

00:01:27.080 Anyway, we're going to talk about where we're at with the latest stage of the Ottawa gun grab.

00:01:34.740 The Kearney and Smith MOU has missed its first deadline.

00:01:38.900 The much-vaunted MOU between the Alberta and federal governments striking a deal on global warming stuff in exchange for pipeline stuff.

00:01:50.760 The Alberta government still says it's good, nothing to worry about, but they've missed the first deadline.

00:01:56.220 is it on the rocks? We'll talk about it. And we're to start, though, with the war on the

00:02:03.920 Constitution. The Liberal Party will be debating, and the Supreme Court of Canada will be deciding

00:02:11.540 on the future of the Notwithstanding Clause, Nigel. The Notwithstanding Clause is oddly

00:02:18.020 portrayed as anti-constitutional by many on the left. Despite it being written into the

00:02:25.420 constitution and having been a key part of the constitution in exchange for pierre trudeau in

00:02:30.900 1982 getting the sign off for the other premiers but it does appear to be the crosshairs for somehow

00:02:36.340 being nullified well it's a funny old story and you're right this has old roots it was actually

00:02:42.040 alberta premier lockheed who actually organized the other premiers in 1982 forced pierre trudeau

00:02:48.960 to accept the clause as the price of agreeing to the rest of the charter of rights which has many

00:02:55.000 things that they didn't like and which tends to put political power in the hands of the judges

00:02:59.880 rather than the politicians so it goes like this legislatures write laws courts interpret laws

00:03:07.480 and the notwithstanding clause lets legislators keep a law in force despite charter objections

00:03:13.960 for up to five years so while parliamentary supremacy was largely lost at that time in 1982

00:03:21.880 with the british north america act on the charter this preserves it a bit within limits which is

00:03:27.800 actually the most democratic thing that could possibly have happened in the circumstances

00:03:32.360 which is important because if you don't like what parliament is doing you can vote them out

00:03:38.680 but if you don't like what the courts are doing too bad judges are appointed until they're 75.

00:03:45.480 now what's happened here what's brought this to the surface that we talking about it today is that

00:03:49.880 But the province of Quebec has been working for the last five years to legislate that

00:03:57.620 provincial employees may not wear religious symbols while they are at work.

00:04:06.120 So their legislation, Bill 21, you read about it, is under attack from interested parties

00:04:11.520 and has ended up at the Supreme Court of Canada after appeal upon appeal.

00:04:15.660 uh now the federal government is not appealing but it is intervening it is going to the

00:04:21.380 supreme court with what they call a factum and says this is what we think about this issue

00:04:25.680 and they're asking the supreme court uh to take their position which is essentially that the

00:04:30.960 quebec principal provincial government legislation should be struck down well just to interrupt

00:04:37.440 slightly it's not just the the legislation the legislation has the notwithstanding clause

00:04:42.000 invoked on it because

00:04:43.520 it probably would violate

00:04:45.560 the religious freedoms part of the

00:04:48.080 constitution. In my legal opinion?

00:04:50.000 Yeah. I mean, that's not

00:04:52.040 a big stretch, I think. But they put

00:04:54.040 it, they invoked a notwithstanding clause on it

00:04:55.860 and the feds are arguing that

00:04:57.620 they can't use the notwithstanding clause on it.

00:05:00.500 What they're saying is they can't

00:05:02.080 preemptively

00:05:03.200 put the notwithstanding clause on it.

00:05:06.000 Is that the practice of doing this?

00:05:07.720 And by the way, we do that in Alberta as well.

00:05:10.440 Saves a lot of trouble.

00:05:12.000 Well, the idea from the federal point of view is that what they're claiming in their factum is that this actually undermines rights in a more significant way than merely having the thing go before the courts later.

00:05:26.680 Anyway, their intervention stems from concerns that frequent preemptive use of the clause

00:05:33.240 erodes charter rights without sufficient democratic checks, and the federal position

00:05:38.760 seeks judicial clarification to prevent indefinite overrides, which is what you are talking about

00:05:44.280 here in this instance. While provinces, of course, are defending the whole notwithstanding clause as

00:05:50.520 a core feature of canadian federalism and parliamentary sovereignty the case is widely

00:05:55.800 seen as one of the most significant constitutional matters since the charter's enactment which it is

00:06:03.160 uh so cory it's um there's the quebec case uh bill 21 prompted it but you know as nigel mentioned

00:06:11.320 uh saskatchewan and alberta have also recently evoked ontario did it uh for the ford government

00:06:16.360 did in Ontario to

00:06:17.560 demand third-party

00:06:20.560 advertisers in elections. That's a case

00:06:22.600 where I don't particularly like it, but

00:06:24.600 the Ford government has the constitutional

00:06:26.500 right to do it. Should it do it? That's a matter of

00:06:28.460 debate. But can it do it?

00:06:30.300 Yes, it can. That's the way it works.

00:06:32.920 Similarly, in Alberta and Saskatchewan,

00:06:34.880 it's been used around keeping

00:06:36.340 boys out of girls' sports,

00:06:39.460 transing

00:06:40.220 underage kids, that kind of

00:06:42.560 thing. Preemptive use of the

00:06:44.480 notwithstanding clause because we know the way this works it'll it'll get struck down by liberal

00:06:48.360 judges and then it'll spend a decade going through the courts in the meantime the judiciary is running

00:06:54.920 things and not parliament so even if you do win or even if you lose at the end of then and then

00:06:59.840 use the notwithstanding clause you've probably had you've had like three elections in the meantime

00:07:04.160 the government's probably turned over so the notwithstanding clause is useless so they've

00:07:08.360 begun to preemptively use the notwithstanding clause here and so you know the liberal party

00:07:14.180 members at their upcoming convention, I think

00:07:16.040 in Vancouver, are going to debate a resolution

00:07:17.820 to essentially use the federal power of

00:07:19.960 nullification, which hasn't been used since the 19...

00:07:22.360 Roughly 1930.

00:07:24.760 You know, consider the

00:07:26.080 nuclear option. You're essentially blowing up the Federation

00:07:27.900 if you do that.

00:07:29.400 I'm not all opposed to that. Pardon?

00:07:31.240 You're not opposed to blowing up the Federation.

00:07:32.980 Yeah, so maybe we welcome them to use

00:07:35.200 power of nullification. But that said, that's just

00:07:37.180 the Liberal Party members. The Liberal Party's

00:07:39.640 leadership cares even less about what Liberal Party

00:07:41.460 members do than, say, most

00:07:43.200 conservative parties which also don't care but i care even less so i'm less concerned there but

00:07:47.720 that the federal government itself is moving this sword at the supreme court and the supreme court

00:07:51.880 now has within its power to essentially rewrite the charter this is not a matter of interpretation

00:07:58.300 this is it's not even a matter of like reading things in which they like to do the living tree

00:08:03.060 uh you know audrey mclaughlin uh doctrine of reading things in but well they didn't write

00:08:08.940 sexual orientation in but they they would have put it in if it was written today that's not the way

00:08:13.420 a constitution's supposed to work but that that's reading things in but this would be reading

00:08:18.300 something out that if they wrote made the charter today they wouldn't put the notwithstanding clause

00:08:23.420 in yeah i mean it's incredibly dangerous turf they're wandering into and again some of the

00:08:28.140 debate i mean you kind of covered already i mean the charter isn't just something that that applies

00:08:32.300 to the constitution it's part of the constitution it's entrenched it's there and we have a formula

00:08:38.140 for changing the constitution we've already learned with beach lake in charlottetown it's

00:08:41.180 virtually impossible to change it through that formula but if you were to change it that's the

00:08:47.120 mechanism to do it if we're going to invalidate parts of the constitution through appointed judges

00:08:54.380 it really starts to get to the point of wondering what the purpose of the constitution is in the

00:08:59.040 first place it really is i mean and that will make i think more people start wondering that i mean

00:09:04.860 I've already been warning about the purpose of the federation for quite some time, but

00:09:08.300 they, do they understand necessarily the fuse they're letting in Quebec when the Parti

00:09:12.040 Quebecois is already moving into a winning position in a fall election out there.

00:09:16.780 We have a referendum approaching in Alberta.

00:09:19.320 It's like they're trying to feed the independence movements, which again, you know, from an

00:09:24.440 accelerationist point of view, I'm not so sad about that, but still it's, it's, it's

00:09:30.820 just a terrible type of governance.

00:09:32.740 I mean, if they really think this shouldn't be there, if they think it doesn't belong, start the formula.

00:09:37.780 Get 7 out of 10 provinces and 50% of the population and let's do it.

00:09:41.420 Don't put it in the hands of appointed judges.

00:09:43.940 Who appointed them, by the way?

00:09:45.100 Well, yes.

00:09:46.460 Exactly.

00:09:46.960 And that's where the problem is.

00:09:47.640 No, well, actually, I think we talked about this the other week.

00:09:51.360 Even the conservative judges are pretty liberal.

00:09:53.240 You got Wagner on the, I think he's the chief justice.

00:09:58.580 He is.

00:09:58.900 And he was a Harper appointee. And he is not a conservative judge. This is not like the states where the Republican judges are going to be mostly reliably conservative. The Democratic judges are going to be mostly reliably liberal. And sometimes, if there's a really good argument, they can move over. But they generally vote along the lines of their appointees, mostly. Unless it's a clear case, like the tariff one. Trump lost, even with Republican appointees.

00:10:24.060 but in the case of Canada

00:10:25.980 the Liberals appoint Liberals and the Conservatives

00:10:27.940 seem to also appoint Liberals

00:10:29.580 I don't know Dave

00:10:33.840 this is

00:10:34.500 this is the court taking into its

00:10:38.000 like who rules the court

00:10:40.200 like who is the judge

00:10:42.240 who gets to oversee what's the

00:10:44.040 appropriate bounds of the judiciary

00:10:46.240 traditionally that was

00:10:48.200 the legislature but you know from the

00:10:49.860 1982 Constitution Act where we got

00:10:52.060 the charter and things like that

00:10:53.160 But the judiciary seems to be able to run rogue. It's been doing so ever since the charter was brought in. It made decisions on key issues that should be legislative, however you feel about them. Same-sex marriage, abortion, all sorts of things like that, that are clearly the purview of the legislature.

00:11:14.340 but now it's in the in the point of not even just rewriting legislation which it's done

00:11:19.080 it's trying it's considering at least rewriting the constitution itself yeah there it's just

00:11:25.200 crazy they're uh they're a wacky bunch you know maybe wearing those robes uh but i guess they've

00:11:31.060 got rid of those but i mean who is it the chief justice who was involved in a scrap in at a hotel

00:11:36.600 down in the states no uh it was one of the justices one of the justices another one went

00:11:42.280 on Wilberta, unfortunately. Another one went on walkabout in Ottawa and went missing. The RCMP

00:11:48.740 had to put out a missing persons alert. And there's already calls for Wagner to be

00:11:54.160 removed from the Government Appeal of the Emergencies Act because he is on the record

00:12:00.360 as degrading the Freedom Convoy truckers. So yeah, they're a wacky group of individuals.

00:12:08.860 And, you know, for the younger listeners, they don't understand how important this notwithstanding clause was.

00:12:17.720 That is what got all the provinces together.

00:12:20.380 And that's what got the constitutional deal done.

00:12:23.240 And they're threatening to come along now and rewrite history.

00:12:27.620 And God knows what's going to happen.

00:12:30.220 I want your take, Nigel, on why this is being considered now.

00:12:35.680 Traditionally, it's actually only ever been Quebec that invoked the notwithstanding clause, you know, protecting French Quebec type stuff.

00:12:42.800 And no one in Ottawa has ever said anything from either of the two big parties, generally.

00:12:47.200 They've always just let Quebec do what it wants.

00:12:49.820 This time, I don't know, I guess there's two things.

00:12:54.240 Parallel to this, there's been the proactive use of the notwithstanding clause in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and especially Alberta.

00:13:00.200 I think we also use it to break a teacher's strike.

00:13:02.460 so it's been used a couple times very recently

00:13:05.340 in very quick succession and all

00:13:06.760 I don't know if it's an anti-Western

00:13:11.500 thing because it is technically appealing to Quebec

00:13:13.280 thing but

00:13:15.040 are they appealing

00:13:17.420 on Quebec because the West has done this

00:13:19.040 or are they appealing on Quebec because it's now involving

00:13:20.820 Islam or is this just a

00:13:23.240 broader principle that the Liberals have stumbled

00:13:25.300 upon that the constitution that they

00:13:27.080 primarily authored in 1982

00:13:28.880 is no longer sufficient to them

00:13:30.980 what's your take on why does this happen

00:13:33.860 they didn't think it was a good thing

00:13:35.900 back in 1982 the whole

00:13:37.560 issue of the

00:13:39.380 but they did sign on to it

00:13:41.200 they had no other choice

00:13:43.720 otherwise the whole thing would have fallen apart

00:13:45.340 so God bless Premier Lockheed for that

00:13:47.740 as for why this came up

00:13:49.960 now there's two reasons

00:13:51.840 in my mind

00:13:53.000 everybody appreciate that I don't have a hotline

00:13:55.900 to Mr. Carney's

00:13:56.940 brain at all or anybody else's

00:13:59.580 but this is what it looks like from where we sit in western canada first thing this legislation that

00:14:06.700 the uh that quebec the province of quebec has put out says it's banning religious symbols

00:14:14.940 and that's primarily affecting two sets of people muslim women and sikh men so what they're saying

00:14:23.660 is you don't wear that if you're a woman you don't wear the hijab if you are a sikh you 0.99

00:14:28.940 don't wear the turban i mean that's pretty that's pretty invasive and those people have lots of 1.00

00:14:34.860 sympathizers who vote so from the federal government point of view this is a great vote getter we are

00:14:41.820 coming to the aid of a significant demographic within canada who are being persecuted by the

00:14:47.820 province of clevec that's one thing the second thing is like onto it it is that they love

00:14:53.980 anything that increases federal power and this by taking away the right of provinces

00:15:01.180 to say no no we're not doing that or we are going to do this and you can't stop us

00:15:07.660 that increases federal power i mean in the confederation the federal government is like

00:15:13.420 a jealous spouse they hate the idea that anybody has any say over anything any kind of a

00:15:18.140 any kind of authority.

00:15:20.560 So this serves two functions.

00:15:22.820 This is the mind of a Westerner 1.00

00:15:24.400 who doesn't like the federal government very much.

00:15:29.020 All right.

00:15:31.020 Keep Ottawa in the picture here.

00:15:34.240 The MOU, the Memorandum of Understanding,

00:15:38.060 signed between Alberta and federal governments

00:15:40.540 a number of months ago.

00:15:43.040 I mean, what an odd country that we essentially have...

00:15:45.440 It's essentially a treaty.

00:15:47.800 We have treaties between governments in Canada, which is an odd thing for a federation to have.

00:15:54.400 It's missed its first deadline, Dave.

00:15:58.380 The Premier in Alberta says, don't worry, everything's fine.

00:16:03.480 I've talked to senior officials in the government, and they say, everything's okay.

00:16:09.900 Nothing to worry about.

00:16:12.140 How serious was it that they've missed the first deadline for progress on this?

00:16:15.240 Well, technically, they haven't missed it yet.

00:16:17.260 It's April 1st.

00:16:18.740 They said, oh, they're going to miss.

00:16:20.180 But she said they're going to miss.

00:16:22.420 It's her birthday, isn't it?

00:16:22.700 Yes.

00:16:23.140 Is it?

00:16:23.880 Daniel's first birthday, though, right?

00:16:25.340 April Fool's.

00:16:28.000 Yeah, you're right, Derek.

00:16:29.300 She's don't worry, be happy type thing.

00:16:32.320 There was four things that they still have to come to an agreement with as of Monday.

00:16:38.240 One was a deal with the Pathways Alliance,

00:16:41.780 a deal on impact assessments, a deal on the carbon tax, and a deal on methane emissions.

00:16:48.600 Well, low and below, just today, this morning, they announced a deal on methane.

00:16:52.720 So maybe that's what Smith had in the back of her mind when she said, don't worry, be happy.

00:16:58.080 So that's one off the list. There's three to go.

00:17:01.460 And, you know, she's put all her political capital in this fight against Ottawa.

00:17:08.580 It's her neck on the line.

00:17:10.860 So for her to seem happy, I think she's probably got some cards up her sleeve.

00:17:15.200 She was talking down in Houston at CIRA Week that foreign investors are looking very favorably in terms of building a new pipeline.

00:17:25.500 But she says they won't completely own it, but, you know, maybe 30%.

00:17:29.360 So I think there's stuff going on in the background nobody knows about.

00:17:32.920 Corey, you know, you were, all of us were at the UCB convention in Edmonton.

00:17:39.400 back in november and i think it was the day before one to two days before the convention opened

00:17:45.720 uh that this mou was signed and you know i expected going in there that people would be

00:17:52.920 wait and see on it like i don't know we don't trust auto auto screws us every single time

00:18:01.120 you know i'm tired of being charlie brown with the football here but you know wait and see

00:18:05.920 our leader of the party and the premier is is invested in this we're going to trust her on it 0.98

00:18:12.160 i was shocked that it was damn near unanimous there that everyone was like this is bullshit 0.95

00:18:20.280 this is never going to happen why are we why are we even negotiating with them um even if we did 0.96

00:18:27.480 get a pipeline for it uh you know alberta has to essentially agree to the federal industrial carbon

00:18:32.980 tax is permanent and legitimate um we have to agree to this other carbon capture stuff that's

00:18:38.580 not all it was business it was it was it was very hostile there um coming immediately after

00:18:46.900 the premier and the leader of that party signed an agreement uh that she put a lot of political

00:18:51.900 capital in um you know what is the danger for smith here does she look like the person of good

00:18:58.780 will who was betrayed by ottawa if this doesn't work or does she look like the dupe who should

00:19:03.200 have known better i've she's at risk of looking like the dupe if this keeps up as dave said you're

00:19:09.800 putting on the smiling face well look i had this methane agreement well a lot of people look at

00:19:13.540 that it's just one more capitulation we didn't feel we'd had to do all this to get a bloody

00:19:17.980 pipeline in the first place look at this list of things we have to do for them to do something we

00:19:23.340 never should have had to come begging and groveling for to begin with and then you to celebrate that

00:19:28.980 you one in four of them made the deadline i'm sorry that's not a victory that's another embarrassment

00:19:33.380 uh i i'm not and i don't like being hard on premier spiff i like what she typically is doing 0.99

00:19:40.240 and i know she has alberta at heart but this i and i understand that she's got to try and work

00:19:46.740 through mechanisms that are there to get things done but it's time for her to start taking less 0.80

00:19:50.920 of a, you know, smiling, positive attitude and start pulling out some claws.

00:19:56.340 Like Ottawa is stringing her along and we're getting sick of it.

00:19:58.720 And her own membership, as you said, is getting very, very impatient.

00:20:03.200 We know what Conservatives do when that tipping point gets hit within a party.

00:20:07.200 Just ask Jason Kenney or Alison Redford or Ed Stelmack.

00:20:11.460 Don't join the list of all the dead Conservative leaders on the sidelines.

00:20:14.520 Listen to your members.

00:20:15.380 You've got to do something better.

00:20:16.420 I think you're right, Corey, when you say the time has come.

00:20:20.520 but when these agreements were made the time was actually right for the premier to look as if she

00:20:27.240 was trying to make the whole thing work if she had been the surly one who had sort of sat there with 0.54

00:20:32.440 her arms folded and frowned and said there's no way i trust mr carney there's no way that ever

00:20:37.480 we're going to do any of this stuff uh she would have looked and acted like a scold who just nothing 1.00

00:20:44.920 would ever satisfy and i don't think that would have been a good look on her at the time anyway 0.98

00:20:49.880 I'm going to show that you tried, but eventually, as I said, eventually your line has to end.

00:20:54.000 Okay, now we're at the point where you say, oh, if this isn't going to work, we've just got a war going on in the Middle East

00:20:59.700 where the obvious value of everything that this province has been trying to do in energy comes to the surface

00:21:07.200 and we can't take advantage of it because those guys in Ottawa, this is the time to actually make that point,

00:21:12.220 and I hope she does, but at the time that the agreement was made, I don't think she could have done anything different.

00:21:18.320 oh but right now yeah we're sitting here we're sitting on hundred dollar oil we're spinning our

00:21:22.240 wheels and we're seeing opportunity lost even if we started digging a trench tomorrow the oil might

00:21:27.280 be thirty dollars a barrel by the time we get it to market anyways though it is going to come up

00:21:31.280 again what did you last fill up your truck dollar seventy six oh yeah bring it down to 30 bucks

00:21:36.560 raise them there crazy so i mean the only benefit we get from high energy prices though is that we're

00:21:42.240 ostensibly a major energy producer that can offset the pain of world energy prices but if we aren't

00:21:48.240 increasing our output to take advantage of that market we're not seeing a benefit we're just

00:21:52.880 seeing the drawbacks i could stand there filling my vehicle with a dollar 76 a liter gas while i

00:21:58.340 could see an oil pump working in the background something's not working right yeah so uh i talked

00:22:03.800 with the staff about this i think i think it was yesterday morning something for us to be at least

00:22:08.720 on the lookout for i'm not predicting it will happen and i don't want to sound alberta chicken

00:22:13.440 little here because anytime Ottawa does anything with energy maybe we're a little too um uh we have

00:22:20.020 a we have an innate reaction to say ah it's an it's National Energy Program 2.0 and we do need

00:22:25.840 to be on the lookout for it uh because of what happened and we know that they do have ambitions

00:22:30.880 to do something like that they just don't know if they can get away with it kind of thing

00:22:33.300 but the National Energy Program came to us in the early 80s in extremely similar circumstances

00:22:41.500 is right now, that came after the Yom Kippur War and the Arab oil embargo, and then followed

00:22:47.300 on that in 1979 with the Iranian Revolution and the Iranian oil embargo, and that sent

00:22:53.720 global oil prices through the roof, and you had a Trudeau in Ottawa who had always jealously

00:23:01.420 eyed ownership of the oil patch, but also saw the political advantage and economic advantage

00:23:07.080 for his eastern constituencies in saying we're going to set a domestic oil price that is going

00:23:14.000 to be lower than the global oil price so alberta must first sell its oil domestically before it's

00:23:19.340 allowed to export and it has to sell at this much lower price much far lower than world market real

00:23:25.540 market prices and then after that then you can sell what you want externally that was the biggest

00:23:31.420 gist of the national energy program there was other things around around ownership stakes and

00:23:35.700 all sorts of stuff but that was that was the biggest and most damaging part of it

00:23:40.020 i mean it sounds like i'm talking about right now in terms of the lead-up they got us there

00:23:45.860 with first opec and then the iranian oil embargoes we've got the strait of hormu the iranian war i

00:23:51.940 like to really say but i like i'm almost at the point of saying i told you so that iran was not

00:23:57.000 going to be a good thing that this was not going to work out it was not going to be a quick

00:24:00.240 glorious decapitation and the people rise up,

00:24:04.220 the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

00:24:06.180 And the Iranians so far show signs 1.00

00:24:10.420 that they might be able to keep it closed.

00:24:12.160 And there's really just not much America can do 0.67

00:24:14.320 because it's not kind of worth getting a carrier suck over it.

00:24:18.540 So oil prices continue at these high levels

00:24:22.380 and possibly even worse as things go.

00:24:24.840 As Israel started targeting some of the energy infrastructure

00:24:27.820 and Iran started retaliating against some of the Gulf oil energy infrastructure.

00:24:32.340 If that stuff continues, this could get a lot worse.

00:24:36.220 And the temptation is going to be awful hard for a government in Ottawa to resist,

00:24:42.980 maybe not the full NEP, but imposing a domestic price cap,

00:24:47.380 because it's for both consumers and industry that are going to increasingly start to suffer here.

00:24:52.340 So in your grim agnostications there, Derek, are you supposing that Ottawa would now insist that Alberta sell oil east, which it has been trying to do?

00:25:05.020 That would be, and that's the weird thing about this, is that an Alberta government might agree to it because it's like, well, at least we're going to get a pipeline built to the east, but we're going to be selling at an artificially low price.

00:25:15.580 I mean, the NEP was all about getting Alberta oil into eastern Canada.

00:25:19.580 Yeah, it wasn't a weird environmental stuff.

00:25:22.060 It doesn't matter how much Alberta wants to sell oil east, they prefer to bring it in from the United States, which gets it from somewhere else, or get it from Nigeria.

00:25:30.120 But as the price gets higher and higher and higher, you could see, and I certainly hope Smith wouldn't agree to this, but hey guys, we're going to get a pipeline going to the east, so Alberta, you get your pipeline.

00:25:42.260 But there's going to be a price cap on it, artificially imposed by Ottawa, to ease the industrial and consumer costs in the east.

00:25:50.600 what we do is get the pipe built as soon as it's there when you have the ribbon cutting

00:25:54.880 turn the tap off we chase you can stare at that empty pipe as long as you want here's the price

00:26:01.240 if you want to fill it and what are you going to do dig it up again but we will have had to agree

00:26:05.800 to a domestic price cap in the meantime hey deals are made to be broken look at the novel standing

00:26:09.480 clause okay touche yeah i guess you can play that game um i mean and i know i'm more adversarial

00:26:15.840 than most on this but but i mean part of the national energy program is talking about forced

00:26:20.040 infrastructure but that's getting to the point of nationalized infrastructure and you're not going

00:26:24.320 to get a private investor to want to come in and fill that pipe or deal with it when you're at the

00:26:28.100 whim of the federal government on what you're allowed to sell the product for so the next step

00:26:31.440 is building because that's what happened before too so well we started red square and built the

00:26:35.380 petro canada towers and an oil company that managed to lose money for 20 years until it was

00:26:40.200 finally privatized this this cycle will continue as the other one did unfortunately but that other

00:26:46.520 aspect of it was it also created more western alienation that had never been seen and it didn't

00:26:51.560 have the simmering fire under it in 1980 already they would do this after our independence reference

00:26:56.900 yeah yeah i think it only the only circumstance i see that really happening would be if uh you know

00:27:03.220 this would be longer term if we have long sustained like the nep did not happen well what year is the

00:27:07.520 on kapoor 73 yes 70 okay it didn't happen nep did not happen in 73 there was lead up to some of these

00:27:13.960 shortages to really build. Yeah. So it took years of, you know, gasoline shortages, high fuel prices,

00:27:21.680 hammering industry, hammering consumers. And then you saw, you know, you've got a similar

00:27:26.500 kind of character as Phil Davis, you know, the Ontario premier at the time, guy who was very

00:27:30.880 willing to work with the Liberals. I could very much see a Doug Ford saying, hey, Ontario's

00:27:36.240 manufacturing industry is getting hammered here. Our consumers are getting hammered. We need some

00:27:40.780 cheap gas. You could see Doug Ford easily working with the federal liberal government on this kind

00:27:47.300 of thing, where you saw Bill Davis supporting pure Trudeau for exactly this kind of thing.

00:27:51.860 I don't think it happens tomorrow. It's not going to happen, certainly before an independence

00:27:55.640 referendum. But if it happens, we're going to have to go through a sustained period of high

00:28:00.200 prices. Well, it'll be really interesting to see what Quebec does if all of this follows out as

00:28:04.720 you've described, because they have said that they don't want a pipeline carrying dirty Alberta

00:28:10.360 oil across the back fine guys don't have it carry on paying three dollars a litre for your uh for

00:28:17.980 your gasoline i have a feeling their their minds would be brought to silver up you bet yeah and

00:28:23.240 most quebecers when they survey they don't have a problem with it it's just the politicians yeah

00:28:27.940 it's the political class that seems to hold a lot its way but you know if you have a long period of

00:28:32.020 sustained high prices leading industry bleeding consumers the political consensus in quebec will

00:28:38.540 eventually change and I'll say like

00:28:40.440 well in my city

00:28:42.520 at Ford too in that attitude though would it be cooperative

00:28:44.660 or it's as I was going to talk about

00:28:46.160 the national discussions always when oil is $30 a

00:28:48.680 barrel it's Alberta's oil when oil is

00:28:50.640 $100 a barrel it's Canada's oil

00:28:52.280 and

00:28:53.620 how well that will be received

00:28:56.300 and it gets back to I guess Smith's attitude was

00:28:58.420 is that the time where she's going to be willing to draw a line 1.00

00:29:00.500 in the sand because

00:29:01.800 you know even if that referendum's

00:29:04.400 passed I mean how much more can we

00:29:06.460 deal with? Oh well I guess

00:29:08.260 to paraphrase uh you know uh high oil high oil prices has many fathers and uh low oil prices

00:29:15.620 is an orphan yeah i heard it as an orphan well you know the solution to high oil prices is high

00:29:22.500 high oil prices if people go looking for other alternative supplies is that is that the thought

00:29:28.900 no no no you know victory has many fathers and and defeat is an orphan uh yeah that's kind of

00:29:35.140 to cory's point you know when it's low oil prices alberta's dirty oil but when oil is expensive and

00:29:40.520 everyone's hurting and everyone else wants some of that oil money it's a national system simply

00:29:44.940 it's canadia how true yeah okay uh and go with cory first on this one uh so our headline edit

00:29:55.660 is not intentionally misleading we just didn't know how to make it any shorter and still makes

00:29:59.980 sense uh but six days left not to give carny your guns exactly but to tell carny about your guns so

00:30:06.500 what's you know what's happened is uh you know there's three broad three main categories of

00:30:12.640 firearms in canada there's non-restricted restricted and prohibited um and under trudeau

00:30:19.900 they just very arbitrarily took thousands of different kinds of firearms and went straight

00:30:25.540 from non-restricted all the way to prohibited and non-restricted ones aren't registered the

00:30:31.240 restricted ones are so pistols and certain kinds of uh certain kinds of you know sport shooting

00:30:35.160 rifles and things like that they're registered so the government knows you have it but they went

00:30:38.620 straight from non-restricted all the way to prohibited so they banned these things without

00:30:43.260 knowing who's actually got them they didn't really think this through very well um this has been going

00:30:48.640 on for years the program has failed in comic proportions they've seized virtually nothing

00:30:55.980 But now they've, you know, all of us, most of us at the table got letters from the federal government saying,

00:31:01.940 hey, you have until this date to notify us that you have some of these naughty guns. 1.00

00:31:07.940 And if you don't, you know, they'll be paying.

00:31:13.200 They didn't really say what they'll do, but they'll be paying for it.

00:31:16.580 But you register by this time, hey, we might even give you a little cash, probably pennies on the dollar of what your gun's actually worth.

00:31:21.680 but uh yeah the deadline for that is six days from now yeah yeah that's their version of a

00:31:27.460 carrot actually because what they're kind of saying is you know just participate in the

00:31:30.960 program now so that you'll qualify for the bio when you turn it in voluntarily as we expect you

00:31:36.900 to do uh you know the real thing is saying we're going to steal your gun we're going to tell you

00:31:41.440 the price for it but if you want to get anything for it you've got to start participating now and

00:31:46.920 we also we just know from the history of firearm owners of the worst category of people who are 0.99

00:31:51.660 going to voluntarily uh to participate in this program yeah it's not going to happen they did

00:31:57.340 their pilot out in in cape breton which they thought would be the the most tell us about tell

00:32:02.580 everyone how well that worked yeah was it 25 firearms i think they got all from the trailer

00:32:06.980 yeah pretty much and i think most of those were things like oh well grandpa left us in the house

00:32:11.760 i don't even know what it is fine i'll bring it in it's not the person who owns and utilizes that

00:32:16.860 they've blown it again but this is that thing with this government it's an ideological thing

00:32:21.160 they will not they haven't geared up since allen rock in the 90s with the failed registry that

00:32:26.280 the same thing they're asking everybody to participate in the registry that their accuracy

00:32:30.280 rate of that thing was only about 60 i think at the time after spending billions on it

00:32:35.880 it's just absurd but it's they're trying to serve a particular constituency the karens of this 0.69

00:32:41.320 of this country quebec mostly mostly in quebec this is not to this is not to dismiss the gun

00:32:48.360 outrageous that have happened but they don't exactly happen at the same rate in canada as

00:32:53.160 they do in the united states so it's not really a fair argument but they do this partly from

00:32:59.400 ideology i think there's a lot of people who've never held a gun and would go like that if one

00:33:03.720 was you know you want to try it you know you targets down there just give it a go no no no

00:33:10.040 but they they are very beholden to a certain demographic for their votes and it's not the

00:33:16.680 the demographic of young men who almost entirely went for Pierre Poiliev and who conceivably

00:33:23.740 among their ranks, maybe several gun owners and some with assault style weapons.

00:33:29.860 So this is another attack on people who don't vote for them and that they don't like and

00:33:36.900 think have, what was the expression, unacceptable opinions.

00:33:42.960 This is a partisan attack against people who don't vote liberal.

00:33:46.600 So, Dave, this is, when Carney came to the leadership of the Liberal Party of prime ministership, 0.96

00:33:52.500 he kind of did away with some of the low-hanging fruit, the clearly, some of the dumbest stuff,

00:33:58.460 you know, the consumer carbon tax and, you know, things like that, stuff that really irritated people.

00:34:03.860 um this so-called buyback program it's it's pretty universally understood to be a disaster

00:34:13.400 it's not gonna work you know we all remember i don't know fire was the right term but we a lot

00:34:18.940 of us saw the clips of uh the minister with the unpronounceable name minister of public safety

00:34:23.820 just gary gun grab gary yeah i mean like that's we'll give him that name that's much easier than

00:34:30.540 what he's got um he um didn't know the most rudimentary stuff about firearms at all and he

00:34:38.040 was made the fire uh the uh public safety uh minister i mean it'd be like making me the

00:34:44.260 minister of rocket science actually i'd probably have a more rudimentary understanding than he did

00:34:49.720 of guns so they know this is a bad idea they know it's gonna be a boondoggle in money that they're

00:34:59.560 not going to get probably the vast majority of these firearms, that taking these firearms will

00:35:03.940 also not improve public safety. I think Carney knows this. He's not a dummy, the way you say

00:35:09.080 Trudeau was, but they're doing it anyway. What do you think the politics are behind that to

00:35:16.240 make Carney do something that he probably knows is a bad idea, but do it anyway for political

00:35:24.720 reasons no because he can get away with it all right it's not going to cost him any votes for

00:35:30.160 you know the people like nigel said who voted for paul evan and and our gun owners gun grab gary

00:35:36.720 is one of the top most incompetent ministers uh that carney has he's fighting that race closely

00:35:44.080 with lena diav of uh of immigration but you know nothing's going to happen derek it's we've seen

00:35:50.320 it all before over the decades it'll be a it'll be a multi-billion dollar boondoggle everyone will

00:35:56.240 express shock and horror and after the next election they'll go and rewrite it again and

00:36:00.720 come up with a new way to try and find laws that that people won't obey i imagine people who own

00:36:08.480 these type of weapons are very busy at the moment with shovels and land and burying them so they

00:36:15.520 they can't be found and then claiming they were lost which is what people are going to do so it's

00:36:21.920 going to be interesting i mean it's um uh we should start an office pool on who they're gonna

00:36:27.040 they have to make an example of somebody right they're gonna have to arrest somebody why'd you

00:36:30.800 look at me well i'm thinking we should have an office pool whether they're going to come for you

00:36:34.400 or cory well i don't have any firearms no no i don't own any guts i don't know i don't know what

00:36:41.600 what this is about i don't know why you'd look at me uh cory i i think dave was half right

00:36:48.300 i think he got it half the answer right that he's not going to lose any votes uh from these people

00:36:55.100 because gun owners just overvotes from anyway but the people who do care about this he stands to

00:37:02.160 lose votes if he doesn't do it and these guys i mean they're dedicated to it in their world view

00:37:07.920 the government says something's banned therefore it's gone they don't seem to seem to see the that

00:37:13.340 logic applying to anything else like say drugs you can ban drugs all you like uh you can maybe

00:37:17.920 push it underground but you they don't go away um but you know you've got these these anti-firearms

00:37:25.580 groups out there they could cost the liberals uh votes i mean they could cost because where are

00:37:31.840 they going to go the ndp's dead in the water yeah and and these these loony left gun advocates that

00:37:37.600 pushing that used to pull some sway, they're not going to go to the Conservatives. It's kind of,

00:37:41.120 that's that similar zero-sum, you know, those conservative young men are not going to vote

00:37:45.840 Liberal under any circumstance anyways. But likewise, that constituency they're pandering to

00:37:51.840 doesn't really have a home that they can migrate to. No, they do, especially considering a lot of

00:37:56.880 this comes from Quebec, when the Bloc Québécois is very much not a spent force. And the NDP is

00:38:02.320 still there. It's, I mean, it's kind of like the Black Knight with his arms and legs chopped off at

00:38:07.360 this point but it is still alive even if it's insisting it's just a flesh wound it's still

00:38:12.560 technically alive and it does take votes away from the available universal universe of liberal

00:38:20.560 possible votes so you know people on the left have more choice than people on the right people

00:38:25.680 on the right say well what are you going to do there really isn't much the pbp dbc is essentially

00:38:30.000 There was an interesting poll out today, 44% of NDP voters, nearly half have no idea who's running for the leadership of NDP voters, nearly half to have no idea who's running for the leadership.

00:38:44.400 So, uh, I think you're giving them too much credit.

00:38:47.160 No, but they still sit around 12% in the polls and that's 12% the liberals would very much like to have or to not let you get bigger than 12%.

00:38:54.300 I don't know if the anti-firearm movement really just that big though.

00:38:57.560 i mean you know if you talk to somebody enough that it's a deal breaker that they're going to

00:39:01.080 say that's where i'm basing my vote is that issue i mean for the firearm owner it certainly is

00:39:06.420 but for the person who's anti i don't know i don't say a trigger issue i mean i could be wrong

00:39:11.860 because it's not my mindset i'm trying to put myself in the shoes of somebody i don't understand

00:39:15.880 so maybe it really is a deal breaker to them i guess i just wouldn't see that as i mean there's

00:39:20.520 just a lot of issues going on yeah is that though issue that's going to make well i'm not sure how

00:39:24.820 many people it's the single issue for but it's probably like a big one you know like when i've

00:39:29.000 decided in the past the various times to non-vote conservative it's normally not one single thing

00:39:34.100 so it's a cumulation yeah it's something you know uh uh erin o'toole running on a carbon tax that

00:39:41.080 was even worse than justin trudeau's that was the final straw but there was a lot that got me there 0.98

00:39:45.920 to that final straw first this would be a final straw for some people or contributing fact for

00:39:51.220 others but particularly in Quebec where the NDP is not their main rival on the left it's the block

00:39:56.460 I think that's why they're doing it is because they they don't want to open themselves up on

00:40:00.960 the left side they know it's a bad idea they know it's not going to work they know it's going to

00:40:03.940 cause a bunch of money but you know did the long gun registry completely kill the liberals for all

00:40:10.100 time well it did with gun owners but they've already lost it so the lost side of the equation

00:40:14.300 has already been baked into the price for the liberals but they stand to lose on the other

00:40:18.200 side if they don't do it we'll see i mean they're stubbornly hung up on it for sure they know it's

00:40:23.620 an old loser i mean they certainly don't have the courage to say let's crack down on the mohawks 0.99

00:40:28.580 who are importing all the illegal guns that are actually committing the crimes that would be 0.98

00:40:31.800 refreshing but yes that's not where they're gonna go and there is actually only one actual military

00:40:38.040 gun that was on the list of banned guns and that was the sks and they very promptly pulled it off

00:40:43.840 and you know why because indigenous people own thousands of them they use them for deer hunting 0.70

00:40:48.960 up north they're cheap and reliable yeah solid the communists really only ever did one thing well

00:40:54.960 and that was produce large quantities of cheap and reliable small arms you know they communism

00:41:01.920 somehow that's one thing that worked and and so you know those things are all over the place

00:41:06.560 especially going to reserves and there's lots and actually unfortunately a few of them have

00:41:10.000 been used in some pretty bad crimes over the last few years you know there's kind of

00:41:13.680 of ironic, isn't it? 150 years ago, the problem was white guys going to the Indians and selling

00:41:21.140 them rifles and whiskey. And now the problem back east is white guys going to the Indians

00:41:26.640 to buy guns for illegal use as pickups on illegal cigarettes. You've got to give them

00:41:32.600 a little credit there, I guess. Fair enough. You've really turned that around on us. Let's

00:41:37.160 just call that my parting shot. All right. Well, that's a good segue to our parting shots.

00:41:43.680 uh dave okay uh presented without comment but an interesting development at the legislature today

00:41:51.120 is being talked from the leaders of the independence people that there's a lot of

00:41:56.000 support in the ucp caucus for independence the press conference on crime today alongside the

00:42:02.560 premier the public safety minister mike ellis was wearing a canadian flag and an alberta flag pin

00:42:08.000 and he was asked about it and uh you know he's supporting alberta within the united canada

00:42:14.960 and the premier held up uh um ellis's notepad or binder and it was adorned with canadian flags as

00:42:23.720 well as alberta flags so looks like there's at least one ucp member that is not an independent

00:42:29.360 supporter the one who reads lead and acknowledgements yes that's him yeah yeah that's mike

00:42:35.080 if you're watching the very least cut out the land acknowledgements like good god all right

00:42:43.120 speaking of land acknowledgements we're on the traditional territory of cory morgan oh yeah and

00:42:47.740 i hit this a bit on my show but i just have to hit it again hats off to jen gerson for putting 1.00

00:42:52.020 out the picture on x of the room set aside at city hall in calgary where all the toys are laid

00:42:58.600 on the table for councillors and city staff to play with to try and wind down because they have

00:43:04.220 the hearings over the land use uh oh that wasn't meant for kids oh no that really i thought it was

00:43:09.060 meant for kids that really is meant for the counselors that's for the counselors and staff

00:43:12.700 now they got a therapist and a therapy dog coming in too because these patty wastes and that's what 1.00

00:43:17.460 i'm going to call them are going to get their feelings hurt because some upset landowners are

00:43:21.120 coming in and speaking in harsh terms over the hearings over the next few days so they're doing

00:43:24.540 all of this to accommodate so these snowflakes don't melt down over the course of this jen has 0.77

00:43:30.400 been back and forth saying no this is people uh not understanding this wasn't a joke i'm posting

00:43:35.340 on x this was really what she's seen i i saw it briefly yeah where kid is playing because a kid

00:43:40.620 plays with toys but i didn't think it was a big because i was like oh they got a room for the kids

00:43:43.760 with toys yeah whatever that's the safe space for the uh yeah mercy so it's worth mentioning again

00:43:49.920 you wonder why your governance is bad and why there's much more to be flushed out than just

00:43:53.660 the merit of your counselors there's your example of it i uh i took uh my older kid to the dentist

00:43:59.940 yesterday and i had to sit for an hour in the waiting room with my three-year-old and the i

00:44:07.420 hadn't been to this but because we had switched dentists and we'd gone back i'd been there since

00:44:10.000 before covid and the toy room the toy room was empty there was no toys there just like some

00:44:14.440 potted plants and stuff i said what happened to the toys they're like well we had to get rid of

00:44:17.880 them during covid and i guess like many things they just never came back to normal and so i had

00:44:22.460 sit there for an hour uh with no toy room for my three-year-old to spend time with your kid

00:44:26.860 yeah and i was thinking like you sit alone with my son for an hour in a waiting room with no toys

00:44:35.180 if you had toys i could play with them there was nothing so he was like taking a bottle of water

00:44:40.060 and dumping it like it was a bad scene so yeah i could have used the toy room i did not know that

00:44:46.060 was for the actual camp i thought that was for the counselor kids that's their little cool down

00:44:49.580 retreat oh well i'm trying not to take it they got a therapist and everything already lined up

00:44:57.340 so is this the western standards good calls of the mouth raise money to put toys in hospital

00:45:02.540 waiting rooms no raise money for toys for our city councilors they're gonna do like other places

00:45:07.020 when derek yells at me i go to the bathroom and cry in silence as we're supposed to not

00:45:10.540 having us take it like a man that's right we need a toy room here i think so yeah it's called the

00:45:15.420 bar downstairs the bar downstairs right it's closed now oh yeah so naga was that your parting shot 1.00

00:45:20.300 yeah let's call it a parting okay oh that's good because we're practically out of time i'll just

00:45:24.380 take a quick note for those who haven't seen our email go out or uh the um brief video statement

00:45:30.700 i made um uh beauty pageant contestant and uh all-round beautiful woman jessica yaniv has sent

00:45:42.220 uh legal notice to the western standard that she's taking us to the human rights commission

00:45:48.220 for hate crimes and essentially for misgendering him uh and uh and also that she'll follow he'll

00:45:56.220 she follows uh follow up with civil suits to get us as well saying you've misgendered me and this

00:46:01.980 is blah blah blah blah blah and i'm taking you the human rights commission and we have to take this

00:46:05.580 seriously because just like a month or so ago there was the newfeld decision in british columbia

00:46:10.540 i actually read the full legal judgment today it was so much worse than i thought i mean we've

00:46:15.980 we've tried to do it justice in our reporting but i read the full legal decision it's way worse than

00:46:22.220 anybody knows it is positively totalitarian it's not just you're not allowed to say this

00:46:28.380 you are required to say this and you must believe it in your heart otherwise you're guilty of a hate

00:46:33.980 crime here uh and this guy got fined seven hundred thousand dollars for disagreeing with trans

00:46:39.200 ideology being pushed on little children um we are way more guilty than that guy and jessica

00:46:47.600 yaniv and his state uh legal notice to us said um you know that this is not just isolated

00:46:55.400 incidences it's systemic to which i responded to mr yaniv it's absolutely systemic in fact

00:47:03.020 it's more systemic than you know and i shared with him uh the screenshots of our style guide

00:47:08.620 where we systemically misgender him as a policy uh it's literally in black and white you know we

00:47:16.000 say uh you know if if we're reporting on a trans person but it's not relevant to the story well

00:47:22.480 you you fine we'll call them whatever whatever they want he or she no skin off our back but if

00:47:28.460 it is relevant to the story we're going to use their real biological sex and we're not going to 0.96

00:47:32.080 use silly words made up words like cisgender and crap like that we're gonna say that's a male 0.79

00:47:36.920 that's a female that's a man that's a woman etc anyway so uh this is coming down the pike for us 0.98

00:47:42.800 uh we've uh raised some money from western centered readers and viewers already did you 0.98

00:47:48.500 want to mention how mr yaniv first came to public uh attention oh well the wax my balls guy uh lady 0.79

00:47:55.540 yeah yeah so you know he um did this he first came to notoriety for uh going after some poor

00:48:01.120 vietnamese immigrant ladies running a uh some kind of aesthetic salon or something you know 1.00

00:48:06.420 nails and waxing and uh he demanded that they wax her balls god i just love saying that sentence 1.00

00:48:12.960 he demanded that they wax her balls just nuts it's it is nice well done and don't don't forget 0.99

00:48:20.260 also i think it was the city of langley had to send her a cease and desist order because she 0.97

00:48:24.740 kept getting into her bubble bath and then phoning the fire department to say she can't get out 0.89

00:48:29.440 So all these big, hunky firefighters had to come over repeatedly to help her get out of the bath.

00:48:36.280 Yeah. 0.99

00:48:37.080 She's nuts! 1.00

00:48:38.200 And he's tried to get into beauty pageants in Ontario. 1.00

00:48:41.840 He's made death threats against people.

00:48:44.180 He's vandalized property and gone after people.

00:48:48.060 This person is...

00:48:50.280 I don't mean this flippantly.

00:48:52.500 This person is a very public danger.

00:48:55.600 This is someone who I really don't think should have a gun. 0.99

00:48:57.940 if we're gonna have good gun legislation that dick should not have a gun and as long as jessica 1.00

00:49:06.160 yaneva is allowed to have a gun but we're told we're not allowed to have guns none of this stuff 0.96

00:49:11.000 makes sense because that's someone i do not trust with a gun all right so anyway i'm sure this is

00:49:16.400 going to be i did just caption this clip right now because this is going to get played at uh

00:49:20.360 at my trial at the uh bc human rights tribunal uh so i just want to say to everyone in the crowd

00:49:28.200 thanks for coming out and to the commissioner on the tribunal who's watching this go f yourself

00:49:33.640 you have no business judging what a publication can say so that's my parting shot all right
