What about the NDP and the far left? Are they anything to worry about?

No, they're completely irrelevant.

We saw that with their recall campaign trying to recall MLAs in Alberta. They couldn't even garner 10,000 votes per constituency.

We have more support for Alberta Independence than that.

On top of it, I've heard Notley's so unpopular within the NDP that they're already planning to stab her in the back before the next election. Fire Nenshi 2 or 3 months before the writ drops, bring in some shiny new female face.

I think Notley's kinda dead woman walking.

But here's what was really funny and hugely embarrassing for Nenshi:

He publicly admitted that his doctor was prescribing him ivermectin off-label.

I don't know why he did this because his healthcare is private.

My buddy Eric Bouchard did a great speech in the Alberta Legislature praising ivermectin as a world-class drug, listing the Nobel Prizes it's won.

Then talking about how Mr. Nenshi's using it off-label, compared to when he and his caucus were calling it horse paste.

Not so very long ago either.

And then on top of it - as a lawyer, this is very serious:

I am still representing doctors who are being persecuted by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for allegedly prescribing ivermectin during COVID because it was off-label.

Nenshi's doctor apparently can get away with off-label use of ivermectin just fine, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons isn't coming after him.

It just goes to show the double standard.

It seems to me that AHS and the College in Alberta is 100% corrupt.

How much does Alberta get in health transfers? Less than $10 billion.

You gotta subtract that from the $70 billion we send out. So if we send $70 billion and get back $10 billion, that's the number we're working with.

But the point is all of that money gets spent in Alberta. The healthcare money still gets spent in Alberta.

And apparently we get another $10 billion in questionable federal services.

My favorite one: the Canadian Armed Forces is a federal service.

Does anybody think the Canadian Army could defend Alberta?

And if you look at the ridiculous scenario of CBC thinking we're gonna be invaded by the Americans - Canada couldn't stop Canada from being invaded by the United States.

We have far less than 10,000 combat soldiers. Boots on the ground. Actual infantrymen, combat engineers, armor personnel.

We don't have tanks anymore, so who cares.

We have less than 10,000 of those people in uniform under arms in Canada.

The 101st Airborne Division that I was seconded to when I was a kid? 18,000 men under arms as a mobile light infantry unit.

One US division has almost twice as many combat troops as the entire Canadian Armed Forces.

There's a good old-fashioned Alberta word for polls showing low support: bu****it.

It's Liberal propaganda. We might as well start believing whatever we see on CBC.

Have you done any left-wing media interviews lately?

No. For whatever reason, they don't have me on.

I had a really good one with Vassy Kapelos a month ago when the Conservative convention was on in Calgary.

Apparently, the national consensus - including from my friend Paul St-Pierre Plamondon in Quebec - was that I kicked her ass so badly that CTV would never have me back on again.

She's the only one who might be able to do a reasonable interview. The others are so confirmation bias that they would never be able to even speak the same language.

CBC interviewers are the worst. They've stopped having me on because I just make fun of them.

"That's a stupid question. Are you not embarrassed to be asking that question?"

One of my favorites:

"Aren't you afraid that if Alberta becomes independent, you're gonna be invaded by the United States of America, and who's gonna defend Alberta from the United States?"

As if Canada has an armed forces capable of defending Canada against the United States.

It's these stupid narratives they get ahold of that they wanna run to distract from what they know is really going on:

Alberta independence is an immovable and unstoppable force.

Because we know what we get when we vote for independence.

Do you see a lot of wokies leaving Alberta for BC? What about provincial migration?

I think it's one of the reasons we have this job growth going on in Alberta right now.

We have a lot of conservatives - and I've met a bunch of them through the independence movement - that have been selling their businesses in Ontario and coming to Alberta and buying businesses and restarting businesses in Alberta with money they've taken out of Ontario.

Because they wanna be here for independence, and they wanna support the independence movement.

They see that Alberta is the only sane jurisdiction in Canada.

The Alberta independence movement has literally been like a beacon of light to businesses in British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, even the Maritimes.

Sell your business in whatever communist province you're in, and bring the money to Alberta and invest in Alberta.

I think that's a big part of the job growth in Alberta.

The referendum is in October. If Carney bribes his way to a majority, it's even better than an election for us. That would be the tipping point.

The US military's numerical superiority is overwhelming.

18,000 combat troops in the 101st Airborne Division alone. Another 12,000 in the 10th Mountain Division. Another 15,000 in the Big Red One, the 1st Infantry Division.

Start going through American units that are just based in North America, and they outnumber the Canadian Armed Forces something like 30 to 1, or 40 to 1.

It's ridiculous.

To suggest that somehow we're being defended by the Canadian Army is laughable.

That's part of the money they claim should be attributed to what we're getting from Ottawa. It's lunacy.

Here's my point:

$70 billion a year being spent in Alberta.

Think about all the economic spin-offs that's gonna create.

Everybody having another $33,000 a year in their back pocket to buy cars, trucks, build an addition on their home, whatever.

All of that money gets spent in Alberta and generates economic development and economic spin-offs in Alberta.

We're not sending money to Quebec so Quebec can offer its students free university tuition while Albertan kids who go to Quebec have to pay foreign student fees.

We pay for Quebec kids to go to university free of charge.

How does that make sense?

And they won't allow a pipeline through there either for political reasons.

The form of constitution we're looking at setting up for an independent Alberta would certainly limit the amount of damage any of them could ever do.

We'd have an elected legislature based on population.

We'd have an elected Senate based on regions, so the cities would have senators based on the region they happen to be in. Two per region.

The amount of power the cities would have would be drastically reduced.

This reduces the ability of all the welfare collecting woke folk to ruin the lives of those of us that live in rural Alberta.

Then we would have an elected executive. We'd sort of model this on the US system, but we'd have some differences.

Like, nationally in Alberta, we would do what some of the states do:

We'd have an elected Attorney General and an elected Auditor General who would be specifically tasked with jailing crooked politicians.

They wouldn't be members of the cabinet. They wouldn't be part of the government.

They would have a real external watchdog role that they would be expected to fulfill constitutionally if they wanted to maintain their jobs.

We'd bring in - because we've had 250 years of experience watching the problems with the American system - we would have a line item veto for the executive.

So you can't have all of the pork barreling that goes on in the United States.

First Nations chiefs went and complained to King Charles about Danielle Smith and Alberta's sovereignty movement, saying sovereignty is illegal or unconstitutional.

The King said: "Oh, I'm concerned. Let me know more."

What was that all about?

First of all, I think King Chuck was way out over his skis on that one.

It's unconstitutional and completely inappropriate for Charles to interfere in the internal political affairs of the province of Alberta.

The other thing is he's not endearing himself to people within the independence movement. There's a lot of people in that soft middle that would rather be the Commonwealth of Alberta and retain some sort of relationship with the Crown.

But when Charles is meddling in the internal affairs of Alberta, he's making people so angry.

It gives a lot more ammunition to the people that are pure Republicans that want nothing to do with the monarchy after independence.

I don't think he did himself any favors.

Quite frankly, I think Danielle Smith should have sent a letter of protest through the lieutenant governor asking King Charles to please mind his own business and not meddle in the internal affairs of the people of Alberta.

This is our discussion. It's not his discussion.

And 44 chiefs do not necessarily represent the interests of every First Nations person in Alberta.

I can guarantee you that we have far more treaty people in Alberta that have signed the petition than there are treaty chiefs in Alberta.

There's thousands of First Nations people that have signed the petition. We have Metis people, treaty people out actively canvassing, actively promoting Alberta independence because they're not happy with the present system.

And who can blame them?

What was the game with these 44 First Nations Chiefs getting together? They had that press conference with Nenshi on the steps of the legislature in Edmonton a couple weeks ago.

Let me be clear about something:

If Alberta pulls away from Canada, those treaty rights don't go anywhere.

That's the whole thing.

On top of it, if you read the Value of Freedom document prepared by Alberta Prosperity Project, that document expressly states that the treaties will be respected.

Not only that, it would provide an opportunity for treaty First Nations to come to the table and negotiate things they've wanted for decades.

Including constitutionalized resource revenue sharing that could see revenue to their communities triple.

To be clear: Because of my career and what I've seen in terms of the poverty of Indigenous nations in Alberta as a result of the way they've been mistreated by Canada, the way the treaties have been violated by Canada - I wouldn't be doing this if I did not believe in my heart that the lives of treaty First Nations people would be better off in a free and independent Alberta.

Better than under the current paternalistic system imposed on them by Ottawa through the Indian Act.

It's not even the Indian Act so much. It's the Indian Affairs bureaucracy and the federal bureaucracy.

Who in their right mind would think that federal bureaucrats can take care of anybody in a way that makes any sense?

They've never shown any signs of being able to do that.

If Danielle Smith and her government continue to be staunch federalists the day after a majority of Albertans vote for independence, the consequence would likely be an annual general meeting of the United Conservative Party where Danielle's basically told:

"If you continue to think you're leading a federalist party when a super majority of your members favor independence and a majority of Albertans have voted in favor of independence, it's time for you to shuffle on."

She's still playing her little federalist game.

She was quite encouraged at a leader's dinner in Edmonton. Keep in mind, those are all very staunch Danielle Smith supporters. It's Edmonton, so it's kind of leftish to begin with.

Somebody asked her: "What about Alberta independence?"

She said: "Well, I hope I still have a few more months to convince you that Alberta's place is within Canada."

She got applause from the party faithful at that meeting, and they took that as a big sign.

But I can tell you that's not where the heart and soul of the United Conservative Party is.

The majority - a super majority - of UCP members are in favor of independence.

We saw that at the annual general meeting this year:

Alberta Independence got a standing ovation from 85 to 95% of the 4,000 people at that convention.

Then when Danielle Smith started talking about her pipe dream MOU with Mark Carney, she was being roundly booed by people in the room because people understand what bu****it it is.

Pierre Poilievre was on The Joe Rogan Experience. Two and a half hours.

I watched the whole thing. Pierre looked down to earth, mostly removed from his political rhetoric and slogan-making, just sitting back and talking like a regular human being.

A lot of people praised that. It's probably more credit to Rogan for being able to get through the armor of a politician.

But there was a moment where Rogan asked Pierre: "So Alberta, they're talking about leaving. What do you think about that?"

Pierre's response:

"There's some legitimate frustrations, but at the end of the day, Canada's gonna be united. That won't happen. Albertans are seriously patriotic Canadians."

That won't happen.

Alberta has a highly educated population. More university degrees per capita than any other province. Most post-secondary educated people when you look at all the trade certificates and licensed tradespeople.

I can tell you: 80 or 90% of the tradespeople in Alberta favor independence.

They don't have this emotional attachment to Canada.

They look at the financial statement for their plumbing business, their electrical business. Guys working by the hour, union jobs, whatever.

They look at their pay stub.

They put a red circle around how much income tax they're paying to the government of Canada.

And they go: "I can't wait for independence."

When people ask me about it, I say:

"Look, they've just spent $370 million giving it to Lebanon. They gave $69 billion plus to Ukraine."

All of that money in one fell swoop is more money than 5,000 people like us will ever pay in income taxes in our lifetime.

Ukraine is a black hole of corruption. One of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Look at all the properties and ski resorts and yachts that Zelenskyy owns.

Does anybody believe that once $69 billion goes into a black box called Ukraine that can't be audited by any Canadian official, can't be overseen by the RCMP, can't be accessed by the Auditor General - does anybody believe that billions of dollars didn't find its way back into offshore bank accounts of various corrupt liberal MPs, hangers on, former Trudeau aides?

Does anybody actually believe that didn't happen?

If they do, they've gotta be the most naive people in the world and are still wearing their stupid elbows up shirts.
