Canada just HANDED Alberta the keys to LEAVE

Oh yeah.

>> What's going on, ladies and gentlemen?

Welcome back to the Fringe. I told you

on our Wednesday live stream that we

would have a video about this. It looks

like we're going to have it today no

matter what. Uh Dr. Professor Bruce

Party and Fat Stalin Jason Kenny had a

debate over on Harrison Falner's channel

yesterday as to Alberta independence and

why it matters or uh what is the

argument for independence in Alberta. I

think Jeff Raph summed it up best and

and we're not going to spend too much

time talking about it on this video uh

because he says Bruce Party is not an

Albertan nor do his views represent the

majority of the Alberta independence

movement. In short, having two people

from Ontario have a debate over Alberta

independence is an irrelevant waste of

time.

So I kind of agree with that statement.

I have seen Bruce party. He was in

Spruce Grove uh when signatures were

first starting being collected in

January.

I was invited inside uh where he was

speaking. I said, "I'm not going to go

see him because I don't think he should

have a part in this." I that's just my

personal opinion. I don't really

particularly like the stance that Bruce

Party has on Alberta independence. um

mostly for the fact that he doesn't

really understand the plight of

Albertans and a lot of that gets shown

in the bias of what goes down in their

debate. Um

this was a very silly debate to have and

I'll tell you why. From my

understanding, Harrison Falner is

against Alberta independence. Jason

Kenny is against Alberta independence.

Bruce Party, while he speaks about

independence, again, he's from Ontario.

I don't think he really cares about

Alberta independence. So, let's talk a

little bit about what went down in that

debate because the Western Standard did

a good job of uh kind of breaking it

down for anybody who missed it.

I don't want to see Canada destroyed,

said Bruce Party to begin the debate.

But here's the problem. It has already

been destroyed. Canada has become

impoverished, dysfunctional, corrupted,

and autocratic. Canada is broken, and it

cannot be fixed. Powerful people in this

country will not allow Alberta to save

itself and possibly save the country.

Alberta must leave and a lot of

Albertans want out. So again, he makes

some good points that um Albertans do

want out that they're that Canada can't

be fixed. But he always adds in the bit

that yeah, but you're not going to be

able to leave anyways. This is why I

don't particularly favor parties

comments on independence

is because he claims to understand the

plight of Albertans or what they're

going through, but always has to come in

by saying, "Yeah, but it's not going to

happen." or yeah, there's this little

catch 22 when it comes to this. Now,

again, I know a lot of people on this

channel listen to party. Um, please

don't think that this means that I'm

criticizing that you can't. It's just

I'm I'm voicing why I personally just

don't enjoy what he has to say. Um,

his arguments for leaving Canada were

largely based on Alberta not being

respected or well respected or on the

belief that it is run by a federal

government that controls and manages

society. Jason Kenny admitted that

Alberta and Ottawa's strained and flawed

relationship needs to change. But he

also believes giving up is not the

solution. Funny because Jason Kenny has

been hurling insult after insult after

insult at Albertans over the last oh how

many ever months?

We would see a huge outflow of capital,

of people, destruction of our real

estate values, turning to constructive

relations with indigenous communities to

an ongoing legal and political war with

huge social disruption, said Kenny. All

of this for a project that is supported

by a marginally small number of

Albertans or a small fringe minority.

Folks, I think it's not worth the risk.

We need to lead and not leave Canada. We

need to mend this country, not end it.

Here's the problem. This is a

federalist. We're going to talk about

another Federalist in this video because

boy uh Pierre is certainly out of touch

if what he said in a recent interview uh

is to be believed. So stick with me on

that one. But this is the problem with

federalists. Of course they want Canada

to stay together. They want the big job.

Jason Kenny, uh we've heard is u I I

guess running the running the rails for

Pierre's job if Pierre loses the next

federal election. I I don't see how

Jason Kenny could lead the Conservatives

to any kind of victory,

but he's a federalist.

Of course, he's not going to cheer for

Alberta to leave.

Jason Kenny went on to say, "The reality

is, yes, there are frustrations and

challenges working through the current

system." He said, "The problem, and I'm

going to get to this, I I'm getting to

the point, folks, but I'm trying to make

sure that we cover everything for

context. The problem isn't just one

little thing. It's not something that

can easily be mended by the federal

government. In fact, I've talked a

number of times that this is a plethora

of problems. One of them being our

representation, what our vote means, the

fact that we have no voice in the West,

the fact that transfer payments will

never end despite the uh I guess boot

that's on our neck through Alberta when

it comes to managing our resources.

We're supposed to continue paying

resource uh transfer payments,

but we're not allowed to develop our

resources. And if we were allowed to

develop our resources, well, there's

always going to be a catch 22. We've

seen it decade after decade after decade

in Alberta. While Ottawa tells us, uh,

deal with our nonsense,

but keep playing by our rules.

The very

respectable and most Albertan lawyer in

the world, Keith Wilson, has said many

times, and I agree with him, Alberta,

the West in general has a different

lifestyle, different preferences,

different outlook on what being Canadian

is versus the East. There is a cultural

divide.

The needs of the East don't match the

needs and wants of the West. And I think

that's a fair assessment. It's not

picking on anybody. It's not saying that

one's better than the other. It's just

saying that if you travel from Eastern

Canada to Western Canada, two completely

different kinds of lifestyles. People's

preferences are going to be different,

their wants, their needs. I think that's

a fair assessment without being critical

of the people in general. But if you

think things are going to get better in

Canada, I'll start showing you why this

isn't just about one or two little

nitpicky things that can be fixed with

the federal government. Let's head over

to Twitter. I put this out yesterday. A

company who joined with Brookfield to

acquire Westinghouse

just got a massive contract in India

right after Mark Carney was there. Who

figured that would happen? And again, I

had it on the page already. Let's zoom

out so you guys can see. Um Kamako signs

a deal to supply nearly $3 billion in

Saskatchewan uranium to India. And

people are going to say, "Well, that's

not Brookfield. What does Kamo have to

do with Mark Carney?" Well, here we go.

I know it covers the screen, so I'll

just read it for you. Uh, Mark Carney,

the current prime minister of Canada as

of 2026, previously held a senior

leadership position at Brookfield Asset

Management. In 2023, Brookfield, where

Carney was involved, excuse me,

partnered with Kamico to acquire

Westinghouse Electric Company with

Brookfield, taking a 51% stake, and

Kamo, the remaining 49%. This created an

ongoing business connection between the

two companies in the nuclear sector and

now they get a $3 billion supply

contract to India.

Just add it to the list of Mark Carney's

uh conflicts of interest.

Like is anybody else fed up with this?

You can see it on the on the right here.

CB fixes all comes and nothing to see

here. This is the problem with Canada is

that it's not being run for the

citizens. Even if you live in the east,

I really sit frustrated trying to

understand how anybody in the east can

say that good things are happening in

this country or that the prime minister

has our best interests at say people are

going to say, "Well, this is work for

and job creation for Saskatchewan." It's

patting the pockets of Brookfield.

It's making Mark Carney and his cronies

richer while everyone suffers, while

people can't pay their bills.

Mark Carney gets rich off of Canada. You

don't leave a job managing Brookfield

Assets Management

to become the prime minister for a

$400,000 salary. It doesn't happen.

Here's where I have the biggest issue of

them all. And I know it's a hot take.

People aren't going to like it.

Pier Polyv sat on uh what was the it was

a very small channel.

>> Uh or not, it wasn't small. Sorry. It's

over a million subscribers. Uh the

trigger nomometry podcast

polyv has asked for his views on Alberta

independence explaining very legitimate

grieviances. This is the problem with

federalists. If Pierre Polyv really

believes what he says here, this just

shows you how out of touch

he has become with the people of

Alberta.

If this is just talking points because

he has to appease the votes in the east

again, it's going to piss off those in

the west to say he's out of touch. So

either way, not a good look for Pierre.

Listen to what he claims the problem is

in Alberta.

>> What's your stance on the Alberta

independence movement and how do you

feel about Quebec?

>> All right. So I'm an Albertan. I'm born

and raised in Western Canada. Um I'm a

federalist. I believe in keeping Canada

united. Uh that said, there's no

question that the Al the people of

Alberta have very legitimate grievances.

Uh and

>> could you explain why? Because it's

actually quite interesting why they why

they have grievances.

>> Basically, their energy sector has been

shut in for the last 10 years. But

that's not a reason to separate. Uh we

the answer is to unblock the resource

sector and um make Alberta allow Alberta

to be the richest country, the richest

part of of the richest country in the

world. Um, and Alberta can do that

because, uh, it has, you know, I think

if you take the Alberta and Saskatchewan

oil reserves, combine them, you have

something like the fourth biggest

reserves anywhere in the world. And

Albertans can uh, benefit from that, but

they can also benefit the entire

country. And in one shot, you get three

things. You get a a more united country.

you get a more affordable source supply

of energy and a stronger dollar and you

become more independent from the US and

the other countries of the world so that

we can have the leverage we need to

negotiate uh around the world. So that's

uh that's the approach that I would

take. We didn't have a western

separatist movement 10 years ago uh and

I don't think we'll have one 10 years

from now if

>> Yeah. Okay. So here's here's where I'm

going to push back on that. Pierre

believes that the entire push for

independence is because of the resource

sector, because of oil and gas. This is

the thick-headed type of opinion that

really gets it. As Peter Griffin would

say, it really grinds my gish. You want

to know what really grinds my geish? Uh

when politicians come in and talk like

this, especially when Pierre says right

at the beginning, I'm from Alberta.

The problem, Pierre, is not just the oil

and gas sector. Sure, there is a big

benefit to the oil and gas sector that

our largest export, one of one that's

worth trillions of dollars, is at our

feet in order to fund our independence,

in order to push for it to move forward.

But again, if you believe this, this is

where you are completely out of touch.

Um, here's one of the bigger problems.

These are the Senate seats in Canada, 24

in Ontario, 24 in Quebec,

Manitoba 6, Saskatchewan 6, Alberta 6,

BC 6.

no representation for the west.

So any of the bills, the policies that

get done, this is where I keep saying

that the biggest issue when it comes to

what Pierre is talking about, well, we

got to open things up. We got to make

things beneficial for this country to be

an economic powerhouse. Sure, 15 years

ago, that would have been a wonderful

thing for the government to do pre-

Justin Trudeau. If they would have told

Quebec, we're putting in Energy East

that we're going to do a lot of

different things in this country to

really uh make us less dependent on the

world. that would have been welcomed by

those in Alberta because oil at the time

they were discussing Keystone XL at that

time. It was a boom bust economy. Uh

people could have got on board with

that. Those who have grieviances now

after 10 years of Justin Trudeau. But

what those 10 years have shown us is the

problem. There wasn't much of a

separatist movement. But the separatist

movement wasn't caused by the oil and

gas industry. The separatist movement

was caused by 10 years of the government

waving their scandalous behavior in our

face and getting away with breaking the

law. The RCMP attacking their own

citizens and freezing bank accounts,

being locked in our own homes, being

told multiple times by the government

that what we have to say doesn't matter.

The Canada 150th speech, Justin Trudeau

purposely left Alberta out of it. There

are interviews of Justin Trudeau saying

the world would be better off without

Alberta.

He hated Alberta. His father hated

Alberta. Uh the 1980s, anybody else with

the energy pro uh energy program

representation is a huge problem. We

don't have a voice in this country.

Nothing we do matters. No say, no

control. Let's take a look at federal

seats. And this black line going through

it represents it so well. I know this

picture is blurry, but I really wanted

to do it with this picture because it

really shows you the divide in the

country, literal, by this black line.

And again, this isn't poo pooing on

anybody who lives in these eastern

provinces. I have viewers from all

across Canada. I love our Canadian

viewers. I think you guys are amazing.

Anytime I talk about Quebec or if I

mention Ontario, I'm mostly talking

government. I'm not talking about the

people,

but Alberta's only got 34 seats out of

uh 338.

Saskatchewan has 14 seats. Manitoba has

14 seats. British Columbia has 42 seats.

Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nvid

all have one seat each. That totals 107

seats. On the eastern side, where this

black line divides the country, Ontario

121 seats. Quebec 78 seats.

So Ontario and Quebec decide who runs

the bloody country.

This whole yellow section and gray

section doesn't matter.

New Brunswick 10, Nova Scotia 11.

Newfoundland and Labrador 7, Prince

Edward Island four seats totaling 231

seats.

anything that happens in this country.

Pierre Polyv wants to say that it's

because of the the oil and gas sector.

And look, I understand there's a bit of

political posturing there. As I said

beforehand, he's saying what he has to

say to cowtow to the east.

But if he truly believes what he says,

that just shows a severe disconnect.

Because in this country, if anything's

going to be done about this

representation, if anything's going to

be done about the Senate seats, if

anything's going to be done ever about

transfer payments for Alberta, guess

what, ladies and gentlemen? The

Constitution has to be opened up.

If you want electoral reform, if you

want to stop to transfer payments, if

you want to get um better representation

across the board, they have to open up

the constitution. And seven of 10

provinces must agree to the changes

within the constitution.

When you look at the divide of seats in

this country, the reason separatism is

so high in Alberta right now is because

smart thinking Albertans who are already

uh landlocked with the government's boot

on their neck with their oil and gas are

smart enough to know that the situation

we're seeing right now could be repeated

again and again and again. And this

isn't about Pierre. It's about the fact

that the Liberals have been in charge of

this country more statistically than the

Conservatives. The Conservatives get one

or two chances at bet and then it's a

liberal dynasty for a while. Then the

Conservatives get back in and around and

around we go on the hamster wheel.

Nothing will ever be changed. So, if

we're in this situation now, we can

easily be in this situation again. We

can have our tax dollars uh stolen from

us and divided amongst other provinces

that tell us that we're ungrateful, that

we're dirty, that uh we don't need to be

a part of Canada, that we're better off

without us.

The problem, Pierre, has nothing to do

with the majority of Albertans being

upset about their resource sector. It's

about representation. It's about our

voice. It's about feeling like we're

actually a part of this country.

Which, by the way, I haven't seen anyone

from the Conservative Party coming out

and saying, "Hey guys, um, I don't know

if you've noticed, Alberta's trying to

leave. We need to convince them to stay.

We need to try and uh, pucker up a

little bit." Nobody's calling for the

Mark Carney government to actually pay

attention to Alberta for 5 minutes.

Every single politician is saying it's a

small fringe minority. the numbers

aren't that high and nothing is going to

come from Alberta uh pushing for a

referendum other than causing issues

within our financial structure.

This is why I keep pushing forward to my

community to the to you the viewer. If

you're in Alberta, if you haven't yet

signed the petition, please go to

stayfreealberta.com,

find a signing location, go and sign.

Don't just sit back and say, "Uh,

they've probably got enough signatures

already. We don't know what the numbers

are. Go and sign the petition and make

sure your voice is heard so that we can

send a message to Eastern Canada that

it's not a small fringe minority and

that separatism is real in the West. I

can assure you in the first week of May

when these tallies are done, when we

know how many people sign this uh this

petition, the conservatives are

instantly going to turn on the West.

They are going to turn on Alberta. And

that's when the real battle starts,

folks. Uh, we're just getting started.

Let me know what you think down below in

the comments. Do you care that Bruce

Party and Jason Kenny had a debate? Does

it really matter what two people from

Ottawa or Ontario think about our

politics? Do you believe that Pierre

Polyv is that out of touch with Alberta

that he believes this is all about the

energy sector? Or do you think that he's

just saving face with his eastern

voters? Let me know your thoughts down
