“Absolutely Not” Carney Refuses Alberta Separation at 50% Plus One

I think we know that that is not correct, a lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith.

Carney is trying to change the rules again.Welcome back to Moose on Loose.My name is David.Today, we've got Carney coming out with quite the statement regarding Alberta separation.We've got Stephen Guilbeau, who will be stepping down today, resigning.This is stirring up the Liberals environmental caucus.

Will other people follow him?We got a bunch of stuff here.Let's jump into this.Starting this episode off with this one from Black Locks Reporter, secret auto scheme pending.An unidentified automaker is drafting a secret plan to export Canadian made passenger cars to Asia and the Middle East.Is this believable?

I mean the Liberals lie all the time.Who knows, maybe there is an automaker doing this, but we'll have to see if this pans out.Moving ahead, coming from the New York Times, we've got Canada strikes landmark deal to export liquefied natural gas to Germany.Wow, didn't think I'd be saying that.So this is going to be announced today, the details of this.So we'll just wait until later today to find out what the details are.

But you got to remember the KSI Lissom's LNG in British Columbia, I believe it took them 10 years to approve that.So this isn't coming anytime soon.But if they do this, this would be a good thing for Canada.And while we're talking about Melanie Jolie, here she's getting asked about Stephen Guilbeau about the environmental caucus, 14 liberals signing this letter to Mark Carney not happy with his MOU with Alberta.

much more the environmentalist part of the Liberal Party and cabinet.

The bedhead is real here today.

But I also think that what we've done with the MOU made sense because I also think that we need to be able to have one of the most important provinces that is the main energy producer in Canada part of our plan.

Oh, so now they're part of the plan, but they weren't before.10 years not part of the plan when she was a minister, but now they are.Okay, yeah, we've heard enough of Melanie Joly.She just goes on to babble here for another minute and a half.I'll spare you the rest.Now, what's really interesting is this.

Carney coming up the stairs, getting asked by Judy Trin to CTV News about his secret deal with China.Integrating our police forces and their police forces.Why don't they want to talk about this?Wow, this guy's been compromised by China.We already knew that.But I mean, look at this.

Just walks right past, doesn't even acknowledge her.Carney clearly, I mean, we've seen this example after example.He doesn't respect female journalists.He looks down to women in general.He looks down on everyone.This guy's arrogance is out of control.

PRC has roughly the same number of accredited diplomats in Canada as it does in the United States.So given that, is it fair to say that the reason Beijing has such an outsize diplomatic presence in Canada because Beijing sees Canada as a soft target for its foreign interference and transnational repression activities?

Yes, I think so.You know, I was quite surprised to find out that in addition to the very large embassy on St. Patrick's Street, the Chinese authorities have other buildings in Ottawa to accommodate their diplomatic cohort, whichis, I think, something like three or four times that of Japan and even more multiplied of what we have for the Indians currently.

So we have more Chinese diplomats per capita than any other country on earth.Carney just signed some secret deal with Chinese police regarding our police, and they won't tell us what it is.Name the traitors.We still don't know who the 11 compromised are.

Assuming that Chinese diplomats work as efficiently as diplomats of other countries, then one cannot but assume that a large number of those people that we have accredited as diplomats in Canada are engaged in activities which are not part of the legitimate diplomatic activities.

Just a shame what's happened to Canada.This is serious national security threat.Every MP should be at the governor general office to get her to stop all of this.You know, like that's going to happen.Mary Simon completely useless.It's literally our only option at this point.

That's not an option.

And Mary Simon's on her way out here pretty quick.

Moving ahead we've got Western Standard posting this, breaking Prime Minister Mark Carney makes it clear a 50 % plus one result on Premier Smith's independence question is not enough.That's right he wants to rewrite the rules for Alberta even though these were the same rules that Quebec had when they had their referendum back in 1994.

about a question.I mean, it's explicit in the question that it's not a binding referendum.This is what I expected, but I, you know, as I said in French, that as Prime Minister, on issues, particularly issues of a constitutional nature, I like to make sure I have the official advice before us, which is why yesterday I was careful in terms of...

Is 50 plus 1 enough?No, it is not.

For under a Clarity Act, it is absolutely not.And I would just recommend that you read the Clarity Act.It's very clear.Not surprisingly, the Clarity Act is very clear on termination.And there's a series of conditions which I responded in the house for the right.

Wow.So he's just making up the rules now.Fifty plus one percent was good enough for Quebecers back in the 1990s, but it's not good enough for Albertans.Somehow, I don't think this is going to make Alberta separation sentiment diminish.If anything, this is going to stoke it.stirred up quite the scene here in the House of Commons between the bloc and the Liberals.

Not surprised, obviously, the bloc or the separatist party essentially defending Alberta's rights to have a referendum or to separate if they get 50 plus 1%.

majority wins with 50 % of the votes plus one.This concerns only two groups, the government that asked the question and the citizens who answer it.That is democracy.It's that simple.Will the Prime Minister respect that?I am the Prime Minister.

As Prime Minister, I need to respect the advice of experts.I've just heard from the Council of Experts on the applicability of the Clarity Act, and it does not apply on the question on the question in Alberta.But in the Clarity Act, you need to have a clear expression of a will by a majority, a clear majority of the people in the province in order to have a sincere vote, a sincere secession vote in Canada.Respecting democracy means avoiding interfering in referendum questions, but mostly it means avoiding interfering in the citizens' response.A clear majority is 50 % of the votes plus one.The Prime Minister knows this.

All his laws are passed with 50 % plus one.His majority depends on50 % plus one.Even his parliamentary secretary for justice said the rule is 50 % plus one.That is democracy, except for referenda because of the Clarity Act.Will the prime minister repeal this authoritarian overreach?

The right honorable prime minister, Mr. Speaker, You have to respect democracy.You have to respect parliamentary legislation and the decision.

This guy's a complete clown.He has a majority government that just barely 50 plus one percent.And then he says it doesn't apply for Alberta separatists, but it applies for him.And he's going to be losing his majority government here.We have Nate Erskine -Smith, Jonathan Wilkinson and Stephen Guilbeau all resigning.That brings him down from 174 to 171.

So then there will be a push to get the committees to reflect that once again, and they won't have a majority in those committees.they can open the back up, get them out of camera, aka out of private, and get them back viewable to the public.This is a complete mess.

...of the Supreme Court of Canada.Under the Clarity Act, the House of Commons must consider the following factors to establish this determination of a clear vote.The scope of the majority that are valid, expressed in favor of the successionistic option, and the percentage of eligible electors who took part in the referendum.It is not 50 percent plus one.

Well, he looks like he's possessed by the devil here.Need I say more?Look at this face.This guy looks like he's possessed.He looks like the Dark Lord.Pick a fantasy universe, Lord of the Rings, Sauron's castle.

Why is he so angry?Carnie's getting hammered here.If it's not one block member, it's another.

Mr. Speaker, there is no place in a democracy for a law that does not respect the will of the people expressed by 50 people.of the votes, plus one.There's no place in a democracy for a law that overturns the people's decisions by claiming, after the fact, that either the question or the result of the vote was not clear enough.There is no place in a democracy for a law that flouts the rules of the ballot when the result just doesn't suit the government.This is an authoritarian overreach we must avoid.Will the prime minister finally repeal the anti -democratic law on referendum clarity.

This is bang on, like absolutely right, everything he said there.

Mr. Speaker, we respect the laws of Canada.The Clarity Act is clear.At the same time, we respect the will of Quebecers, that is to build a strong, resilient Quebec within a strong and resilient, independent Canada.

You see his body language there?Look at him.Just so smug, this little head bob here.While we're talking about Alberta separation, we've got this panel here in Kananaskis of Western leaders.We've got David Eby, who's cut off there on the far left, Wab Kanu, Scott Moe, Daniel Smith, Northwest Territories, Yukon.Just listen to what Wab Kanu says in response to Daniel Smith.

The issue, I think, in the court is whether that duty to consult should apply to citizen initiated petitions.And that's where I think that the court erred in judgment.And I think it's also anti -democratic, the decision that they made.But we'll make the arguments in court about what the limits to duty to consult ought to be.And we'll see how that conversation goes.There's a couple of rounds that we have to go through, obviously, to court of appeal, probably also to the Supreme Court of Canada.

But we want to make sure that we have a very clear understanding of what the duty to consult really means and what it doesn't mean.And I think at the moment, there's a lack of clarity on that.

Sorry, I'd like to respond.So I think we know that that that is not correct.A lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith.specifically, and we spoke about this, so I don't mind repeating this.It is not up to the petition gatherers to fulfill the duty to consult.It is up to you as the Alberta government to fulfill the duty to consult.

And in this case, When there is clearly going to be an impact on well -established existing hunting and fishing rights by putting up an international border, if some would have their way, the judge ruled, and I would agree with the judge's ruling, that that is going to infringe on rights.And so there is a duty to consult.

This is absurd.So we're not going to have prosperity because we have a couple of First Nations that are going to go hunting and they can't go across the border?I mean, look at the treaties they got right now.There's a tribe that's down in America that have hunting and fishing rights up in Canada.So it doesn't affect that.So what's he talking about?

Tribes can hunt on ancestral lands north of U .S.border, Canada says.After 10 years of legal battles, the Senex tribe won recognition and hunting rights in their traditional homelands across the Canadian border.There's actually multiple tribes that have this right where they can come across the border and hunt.So what is Wab Canoe talking about?

And why would we sacrifice prosperity in our country because a couple of people want to go hunting?They can still go hunting.This guy is quickly becoming one of the worst premiers.He's not going to dethrone David Eby anytime soon.But I mean, this guy was barking like a dog at the conservative opposition just a few days ago.

Now, to take a step further, for the Albertan who's been frustrated over the lack of progress on pipelines, you've got the Premier of BC announcing LNG, we're working on Churchill, we're working on northern trade corridors.This is a moment to get big things built in Manitoba.And I would say now is the time to work together.Why don't we hold off on this referendum talk for a year or two and see if we get these pipelines under construction?Because at the end...

That's not for you to decide, though.That's for the people to decide, because the people decideif they're upset with the Liberal government for the past 10 years, not if Wab Kanu decides.Does he think he's the king of Canada?

At the end of the day, we want Canada to succeed.We're all very proud of this place.I myself am very, very patriotic.And what I think it's important for us to say when we hear this sorts of discussion happening here in Alberta is for us to say, OK, thank you, First Nations in Alberta.for hitting the pause button on this.Now the rest of Canada.

Let's work together and show Alberta just how appreciated they are in the rest of this country.

How can he say that when there's a First Nations in Alberta that took money from America to block pipelines to Alberta, and then they get taxpayer funds.It's like they're getting funding, but then they don't want the rest of Alberta to have funding.Chief Alan Adam of the Athabasca Chippewan First Nation, completely corrupt.We got other stuff like this, EU parliamentarians in Canada to discuss the digital euro and crypto.I wonder what they're doing here.

The second speaker, sorry, you mentioned You were interested in what Canada is doing on crypto.Can you be more specific about what you're looking for there?

There is also interplay between the crypto and the digital currency.As you may know, we are very close to the vote in the European Parliament that I believe will start the process of introducing the digital euro.But obviously, there are also some opinions that would say that stablecoins can play a very important role in improving the efficiency of the payment system and especially opening efficient ways how to, for example, do international transactions.

Yeah, so they want to bring in a digital euro into Canada.This is what Carney wants because it gives full control over citizens.He's the guy who recommended Trudeau lock the Canadians bank accounts from the trucker convoy.No wonder he wants to bring this here.No wonder these guys are here talking about it.And to end this episode off on a lighter note, we've got Release the Kraken, 60 -foot octopus were top predators 100 million years ago, fossil shows.

here they used to determine the size of this thing.It says that these fossils were of the beak and the lower jaw of the creature called the Nanaimothetuius, the largest species of which Nanaimothetuius hagartia grew to sizes between 23 and 62 feet long.These truly colossal invertebrates used their beaks to grind up shells and bones as evidenced by the substantial amount of wear on the largest fossil the team found, which correlated with a 60 foot 2 body length, which would have placed it beyond any of the formidable marine mammal reptiles like monosaurs and plesiosaurs that shared the ocean with them.So the reason they got this name here, you can see it says Nanaimo because this was found says here they recovered the fossils sediments in Japan and Vancouver Island.So that's where the name comes from.Then it goes on to compare giant squid of today, which it says stretched 30 feet in length, bearing three inch jaws and the largest invertebrate living or extinct that's known in science.

Now, in comparison, it says the jaws of this one are 150 % bigger than the ones we have today.and 23 feet longer.Pretty crazy stuff in the ocean.
