grateful for an inspirational

0:12

supercharger Premiere ahead of Halloween

0:13

and particularly at a time when the

0:16

thirst of the Trudeau liberals to turn

0:17

Canada into a totalitarian system seems

0:20

to be gradually becoming unquenchable

0:37

viewers so ensure you drop all your

0:39

comments and observations in the

0:41

comments section below that said let's

0:43

quickly get into what today is basically

0:45

about

0:46

apparently the premiere of Alberta

0:48

Danielle Smith has disclosed in a recent

0:50

statement that her province's government

0:52

would withdraw from new federal

0:53

initiatives or refrain from

0:55

participating in federal discussions if

0:57

doing so is not an Alberta's best

0:59

interests

1:00

on Thursday the premier sent a letter to

1:02

her cabinet detailing several

1:03

possibilities for moving ahead with

1:05

talks with the Canadian federal

1:06

government

1:07

in the letter which was released online

1:09

Smith said that as premier of Alberta it

1:11

is her responsibility to guarantee that

1:13

the province's Liberties and interests

1:15

are safeguarded from federal

1:16

institutions she noted that there might

1:18

be instances in which Alberta would seek

1:20

to opt out of new federal programs if it

1:22

was determined that they were not in

1:24

Alberta's best interest

1:26

the premier further mentioned that the

1:28

federal government often avoids real

1:30

interaction with the province

1:32

the federal government must provide

1:33

early open and honest Communications so

1:35

the province can demonstrate its

1:37

progress and propose alternatives to

1:39

Federal intervention where necessary

1:41

if the federal government does not honor

1:43

cooperative federalism through

1:44

meaningful engagement we will simply not

1:46

participate in their consultations Smith

1:48

Road meanwhile you would recall that

1:50

following her victory in the United

1:52

conservative party leadership contest

1:54

where she ran on the platform of

1:55

safeguarding Alberta's jurisdictional

1:57

rights from the federal government in

1:59

Ottawa Smith was sworn in as the premier

2:01

of Alberta two weeks ago

2:03

and at the annual general meeting of the

2:05

party on Saturday she made the

2:06

announcement that her Administration

2:07

would not Implement any federal laws or

2:10

policies that are detrimental to the

2:11

economy of Alberta or that violate the

2:13

rights of the people

2:15

and according to Smith in her letter

2:17

Alberta is often considered a

2:18

subordinate level of government by the

2:20

federal government which results in

2:22

policies that landlocked resources

2:23

damage the provincial economy and make

2:26

life more expensive for albertans on

2:28

major policy issues our government will

2:30

be discussing a pushback strategy to

2:32

address issues such as the federal oil

2:34

and gas emissions cap fertilizer

2:36

reductions and the Firearms confiscation

2:38

program

2:39

the Alvarez sovereignty Act is a

2:41

critical part of that strategy Smith

2:43

wrote

2:44

and having stated that work on the

2:45

sovereignty act has already started

2:47

Smith further announced that it is

2:49

anticipated that the legislation would

2:51

be ready to be introduced by the time

2:52

she takes a seat in the legislature

2:55

apparently in the proposed sovereignty

2:57

act that Smith put out was a central

2:59

tenet of her bid for the leadership of

3:01

the party in Alberta it was positioned

3:03

as a means to affirm albera's autonomy

3:05

in the face of an antagonistic

3:06

legislative agenda coming from Ottawa

3:09

meanwhile Smith is given a Stern warning

3:11

to her ministers that they need to give

3:13

serious consideration to the

3:14

consequences that Federal funding will

3:16

have on the province before their plan

3:17

becomes law according to her targeted

3:20

time-limited Federal funding agreements

3:22

often focus on federal priorities at the

3:24

expense of Alberta's priorities they

3:26

also failed to address the

3:27

disproportionate financial burden

3:29

Alberta carries when Ottawa spends money

3:31

and they undermine the Constitutional

3:32

responsibility of provinces in key areas

3:34

such as resource development Health and

3:37

Social programs

3:39

in addition Smith stated that these

3:40

types of agreements frequently Target

3:42

municipalities directly in an effort to

3:44

get around the authority of the

3:45

provincial government

3:46

apparently it creates expectations among

3:48

stakeholders that Alberta will continue

3:51

to fund Federal priorities after the

3:53

funding from the federal government Runs

3:54

Out

3:55

we must hold our ground when Federal

3:57

policies and funding threaten Alberta's

3:59

interest Alberta is to be treated as an

4:01

equal owner of government under the

4:03

Constitution and not as a stakeholder

4:05

Alberta has its own legislation policies

4:08

priorities and procedures Alberta's

4:10

government is accountable to its

4:11

residents not to the federal government

4:13

Smith wrote

4:15

meanwhile the premier further said that

4:17

going ahead cabinet ministers need to

4:19

take into consideration the

4:20

Constitutional separation of powers

4:21

equal tiers of government responsibility

4:24

to people and the variety of

4:25

jurisdictions and to guarantee that the

4:27

approach used by the government is

4:29

consistent and productive the premier

4:30

requested that ministers provide

4:32

intergovernmental relations with any

4:34

information about Federal money and

4:35

federal funding plans

4:37

you know if you could arguably describe

4:39

this as good riddance in Alberta

4:40

provincial governments have for too many

4:42

decades allowed the federal government

4:44

to expand its reach into provincial

4:46

jurisdiction while messing up its

4:48

autonomy so it couldn't be a better time

4:49

to have not only Alberta take a

4:51

different diplomatic approach but all

4:53

other provinces as well for the greater

4:55

good of the larger Canadian populace
