  [SPEAKER_00]: We got a Canadian province that's about to hold a referendum that could shatter North America as we know it.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta, Canada's oil powerhouse is seriously considering independence.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the data reveals something that Ottawa does not want you to know about.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is not just separatist fantasy anymore.
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is economic
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: reality before we dive into the most significant political earthquake brewing in North America as we speak if you are new here welcome to our channel make sure to smack that bell and subscribe button to be an honor to have you as a regular part of our community we got breaking news and analysis you're not going to find anywhere else today I want to break down why Alberta's independence movement
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: has become one of the most underestimated political forces on the continent and why it could reshape the balance of power between the United States and Canada forever.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let's start with the numbers, the mainstream media won't tell you about.
• 1:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta is in just another Canadian province.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is an economic superpower hiding in plain sight with a GDP of around thirty six billion.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta single-handedly generates nearly fourteen percent of Canada's entire economic output even though it's only eleven percent of its population.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's often referred to as the Texas of Canada.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: They produce four point two million barrels of oil per day.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's one point five billion barrels annually.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now to put that in perspective, that's more oil than most old-peck nations produce.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: A bird as energy sector alone contributes seventy-one billion dollars to Canada's GDP without Alberta.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Canada, frankly, would be just another cold resource formation struggling this day relevant on the world stage.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta is the golden goose of the Great White North and South.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's where it gets absolutely infuriating for Albertans from two thousand seven to twenty twenty two.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta sent nearly two hundred and fifty billion dollars more to Ottawa than it received back in federal spending.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not a type, two hundred and forty four point six billion dollars to be exact.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's more than five times what Ontario contributed despite Ontario having three times Alberta's population.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: In twenty twenty two alone Alberta contributed fourteen point two billion dollars more to federal revenue than it received back.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's over three thousand dollars for every man, woman in child and Alberta being sent to Ottawa to fund programs in other provinces.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, Quebec, which received thirteen point two billion and what are called
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Equalization payments, these are basically redistributive payments that ensure all provinces can provide comparable public services at similar tax levels despite differences in their fiscal capacity.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, despite Quebec getting an in-or-in amount of money in equalization payments coming from Alberta, Quebec continues to block Alberta's pipelines all the while living off of Alberta's wealth.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if Alberta were treated like an average province instead of a cash count, the federal government would face a seventeen billion dollar annual shortfall.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So simply put, Alberta is subsidizing the entire Canadian confederation.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's where the story gets very interesting.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: The latest Angus Read poll shows that thirty-six percent of Albertans now support independence, but that's us the beginning.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Among conservative voters, that number jumps to sixty-five percent.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we're talking about a super majority, the provincial, the provincial governing party's base supporting separation.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But let's dig deeper into those numbers.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nineteen percent of Albertans are all in.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: They want to leave Canada.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seventeen percent lean toward leaving, making up the thirty-six percent.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is not fringe territory anymore.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is a legitimate political movement with real momentum.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: We often talk in this channel about something called tipping point theory, which argues that you only need about thirty percent of a population who effectively usher in a new paradigm.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I just show that if there's a broad consensus, that consensus can shift, if just thirty percent are all in on a new paradigm.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what Albertan's recession is, thirty-six percent.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And here's the part that should terrify Ottawa.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Support for Western separation has been steadily growing.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The moral burdens learn about their raw deal and the confederation, the more they want out.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Recent polisher that's sixty-two percent of Albertan's belief, other Canadians do not understand why they feel so alienated.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not just political grievance, that's the foundation of an independence move.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's where this story takes a dramatic turn.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: President Trump's suggestion that Canada should become America's Fifty First State isn't just presidential bluster.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's creating a third option that's driving separatist sentiment through the roof.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Recent polling shows that nearly twenty percent of our burdens now support joining United States as the Fifty First State.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now that might sound small but think about it one in five our burdens would rather be American than Canadian
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Billboards across Alberta now we let's join the USA and separatist groups are organizing trips to DC to discuss union with US officials.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the logic is actually rather simple.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why struggle to build a new country from scratch when you can just turn around and join the world's most powerful economy?
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta already trades more with the United States and with the rest of Canada's provinces combined.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: culturally Alberta has more in common with Montana and Texas than it does with Quebec and the maritime provinces.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The economic incentives for joining our, or absolutely overwhelming.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So where do we stand in all of this?
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, premier Danielle Smith has now officially opened the door to an independence referendum in twenty twenty six.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So thanks to Bill fifty four.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: The threshold for triggering a referendum has been lowered from six hundred thousand signatures to a hundred and seventy seven thousand.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Alberta Prosperity Project's already organizing petition drives and expects to meet that threshold sometime this summer.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Simply put, this is not theoretical anymore.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are looking at a real referendum within eighteen months.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And unlike Quebec's Separatist movement a couple of decades ago, which was driven by cultural nationalism, Alberta's movement is driven by cold, hard economics.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But sixty-five percent of the governing party's voters support separation.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're not dealing with a fringe movement anymore.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's become mainstream now.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: As far as Prime Minister Mark Carney is concerned, I mean, the federal government, frankly, just has no good options.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can ignore a legitimate referendum.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Session has been deemed constitutional by Canada's Supreme Court.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can ignore a legitimate referendum, but they can't afford to lose Alberta either.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Without Alberta's two hundred and fifty billion dollars in net contributions, the entire Canadian welfare stake collapses.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for us, for Americans, I think this is what Trump was always trying to accomplish here with the Fifty First State rhetoric the whole time.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wants Alberta.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't want Ottawa.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't want Quebec.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wants Alberta.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wants a new state with four point six million people, thirteen point five percent of North America's oil production.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: and a conservative political culture that's more akin to bringing in another Texas into the Union.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta would immediately become America's second largest oil producing state-app protects us.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: The strategic implications of staggering China loses access to Canadian oil overnight rushes energy leverage in North America disappears overnight.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: The US gains a massive buffer zone between any future Chinese expansion in the Arctic.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the real interesting part.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alberta joining the United States would likely trigger a domino effect.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Saskatchewan with its massive grain production and conservative politics would almost certainly follow.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And suddenly, now you're looking at the western half of Canada, a wexit joining the United States while the eastern half becomes a wrong state dependent on US trade and security.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Alberta independence movement is not just about
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: provincial grievances.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about the future of North America's civilization.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: For the first time since the Civil War, we're actually looking at the possibility of the continental mapping redrawn around economic and political lines.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, of course, the legacy media wants you to think this is all impossible or improbable, but the numbers don't lie.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: when a province contributes a quarter of a million dollars more than it receives when sixty five percent of the governing party support separation when thirty six percent of population wants out you're not dealing with fantasy you're dealing with an inevitable political reality
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, what do you think?
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: You think we're going to see a fifty first state in the next eighteen months?
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me know in the comments below and I want you to continue to enjoy the most wonderful Fourth of July weekend imaginable in the golden era.
• 10:15
