Alberta and the United States strike a brand new energy deal?

In today’s report we provide commentary on the Alberta independence movement, as well as the recent trip to Washington DC that Premier Danielle Smith had, in which she met with multiple American politicians, including congressmen, senators & members of the cabinet to promote the Alberta energy industry and seek to create a partnership between Alberta and the USA.

We also react to some of the most recent developments from the independence movement & the Alberta Prosperity Project, which is leading the effort to hold an independence referendum for Alberta to separate from Canada.

Video Transcript:

i’ve met with over 20 members of Congress and Senate and my message to the US has been clear we know they want to achieve energy dominance but the path to energy dominance doesn’t stop at the US border it starts with Alberta to do this we must work together collaboratively and that means moving ahead as partners with a tariff-free relationship that’s the message I brought to Washington this week so here’s the truth alberta’s done waiting for Ottawa to come around they’re not going to the Canadian federal government’s made it very clear they don’t want Alberta oil and gas they want net zero carbon credits and photo ops at climate summits while the feds keep trying to kill off our energy sector Alberta’s taking matters into its own hands the premier didn’t sit around begging Carney for scraps he flew straight to Washington met with Trump officials senators even cabinet members to build a real partnership one where Alberta helps America become energy dominant and in return gets treated like a part of the family not the unwanted stepchild this isn’t just some trade agreement it’s a crucial alliance and all of this is happening just days before Donald Trump lands in Alberta for the G7 alberta’s not just looking south it’s basically moving south and fast ottawa they don’t listen never have 600 bucks in carbon taxes just to run my tractor this week that’s not sustainable these prices are insane and then they tax us again for fuel to stock the shelves we’re the only place in the world with this much wealth that needs permission to use it we drill the ground they drain our pockets not anymore they talk reconciliation then block indigenous resource projects that’s not justice that’s control time to lead alberta first i support Alberta independence i support Alberta independence i support Alberta independence [Music] hey everybody very quickly if you’re new to this channel please do me a solid and hit the like and subscribe buttons it helps me a lot to continue making videos and bringing you the updates you care about if you’ve been to this channel before welcome back thanks for watching and God bless you that’s their plan for Alberta so independence is not only something that we all should desire should think is for the benefit of our children and our grandchildren and our families becoming independent from Canada is now a matter of urgency canada is literally planning the destruction of our culture the destruction of our economy the robbery of all of our savings and home equity all under the guise of the World Economic For forum slogan that we’re all going to own nothing and be happy so again I want to thank everybody tonight for coming out i want to thank everybody for listening uh to our message this evening it’s very important that we all continue to band together the way I see it Alurns have had it plain and simple folks are starting to realize that staying in this broken federation isn’t just holding us back it’s dragging us down taxes through the roof crime worse than ever out of control mass immigration and our kids can’t even find a summer job that’s Canada’s progress for you meanwhile politicians in Ottawa call that a success but here in Alberta people are waking up you can hear it at independence town halls and rallies this time it feels different the crowds are bigger the energy is real and people are talking seriously about independence not just as a protest but as a plan a future the federal government and their media lap dogs can’t get rid of this one it’s growing it’s organized and it’s moving forward and that’s that’s a hallmark of Albertans is that we believe there should be limits on the role that government has in our lives we don’t want to wake up in the morning and have the government tell us every single thing we can and can’t do that day and tuck us in at night and promise to keep us safe uh because we know governments can’t actually do that they’re too incompetent and increasingly corrupt but Albertans want to have freedom of choice of the decisions they make in a day and how they live their lives albertans realize that sometimes we’re going to fall down as individuals and we’re going to get up and dust ourselves off and we’re going to put our our head into the wind and our shoulder to the wheel and we’re going to move forward that’s that’s our culture and that’s our history of homesteaders and ranchers and so on oilmen um and uh so I think some people will be attracted not just because the ob obvious economic advantages because they want that freedom too they don’t want government dictating every aspect of their lives i’ll go even further alberta didn’t leave Canada really Canada left us the country we once knew that safe decent clean and affordable place we were proud to be a part of that country is long gone what we’ve got now is a top-down socialist nanny state that wants to control what you drive what you eat how you hit your home and even what opinions you’re allowed to share that’s not going to fly out here albertans are not going to put up with it we believe in working hard minding our own business and being left alone but that’s just not the Canada of today the rest of the country might be sleepwalking into tyranny but out here we’re the ones pushing back not because we want to fight but because we’re not going to roll over and play nice while the federal government strangles the future of our kids if that makes us rebels so be it at least we’re still standing i’m making Alberta’s pitch to rebuild our relationship through more free trade not less we have a long-standing trade relationship with the United States and the more than 450,000 km of pipeline that connect our two countries is proof of that and we have big ambitions to double our oil and gas production and while we’re actively advocating for an oil pipeline to the West Coast we also want to sell more to the United States but first we need trade stability with highly integrated supply chains the more oil we sell to the United States the more jobs for Americans and Albertans we know that the US needs heavy oil and natural gas so they can refine it power their homes and businesses keep prices low and also export it around the world i’ve met with over 20 members of Congress and Senate and my message to the US has been clear we know they want to achieve energy dominance but the path to energy dominance doesn’t stop at the US border it starts with Alberta to do this we must work together collaboratively and that means moving ahead as partners with a tariff-free relationship that’s the message I brought to Washington this week all right thanks for watching thank you for subscribing special thanks to those of you who have donated to this project it
