00:00:00.000 Joe Mills, I keep asking, if you were PM,
00:00:02.100 what's the first thing you would do?
00:00:03.480 Fine, yes, I would exercise my authority on this trade war.
00:00:07.080 If you really want to use oil for leverage,
00:00:09.500 it's not by adding counter tariffs,
00:00:12.860 which by the way, Polly have supports
00:00:14.360 and it's self-defeating.
00:00:17.220 I'm not going to try and out-liberal the liberals
00:00:18.840 on bad policy or out-do Trump on bad policy.
00:00:22.180 Find other customers.
00:00:24.140 That's the leverage.
00:00:25.400 Sell more oil, but sell it to somebody else.
00:00:27.960 that's when they realize there's somebody else who will buy it off you you would say this is
00:00:33.080 in the national interest you could practically declare it an emergency and say that's enough
00:00:37.640 northern gateway every study was already done on every part of that right of way to get oil
00:00:43.320 to the coast over there you say that's it we're guaranteeing it as a federal government

00:00:52.760 get a port going and ship to India and Japan and Singapore and all of those other places,
00:00:58.800 the Philippines, that could use our oil and natural gas through LNG plants. Get it done.
00:01:05.400 But they won't. Federal ones won't do it. And it's not conservative or liberal. Why? They don't have
00:01:10.780 the balls because they're worried about what Quebec will think. They're worried about what 1.00
00:01:14.460 Ontario will think. And that pattern doesn't change, whether it's conservative or liberal.
00:01:19.440 I'm not saying go out and vote against the conservatives in Alberta no you still want to
00:01:23.700 vote for the person who's going to be as good for you as possible and there's a lot of really good
00:01:28.180 conservative members of parliament I mean most of them in Alberta are really good people
00:01:31.300 but they're handcuffed so don't expect too much of them
