49:59 It's a symbol of long forgotten past. It's an historic artifact, I'll stay with that. We have a number of other things going on quite a few actually downplayed the Notre Dame took over everything to go over the news except in Alberta Oh, what's going on in Canada? What is happening there? Only this show is gonna give you... This was a major event that took place in Alberta.
50:38 A new guy became the premier. He knocked out this woman, and Kenny's his name- Literally just right hook? Knocked her out. Notley was her name she was a... And the parties have changed there is a new party The United Conservative Party formed from offshoots of The Wild Rose Party and the Progressive Conservative Party Canada has a lot of parties So they had this so what's happened is that Albertans which are suffering the most from all Climate change, carbon tax? Yes there's a carbon tax that was imposed and... Well hold on let's just remember Canada is warming up twice as fast as the United States so you know they really needed to do something. Yeah because heaven forbid it gets warm up there! We don't want it to come down here So they're all up there all bundled up
51:32 moaning about global warming and believe me of all the provinces, Alberta is up there with the coldest. So this guy ran it pretty much a United Conservative Party's very conservative party. You know it was new but their offshoots are very... they're just Western style conservatives. Isn't Alberta also the oil province? Yes and this is the oil and oil shale right and all oil sands, all that stuff. Important context people live off of that in Alberta let's listen to the pre-election debate now I have one two three four five short clips one of them is a little long which was the good one which is they get into an argument which is cool but it starts off with
52:19 Kenny going on and on about the taxes, and I this is a very boy This is the boringest of the clip he's to get one And it's not until he comes back with his other arguments that he's interesting and I could just soon skip that but let's just say He sits there and bitches about as costing Canadians You know a lot of money a year because of this this gas tax its carbon text. It's not even against actually I want do some math here and give you some ideas of what this tax is. This tax is, I think it's 27.8 cents a liter which amounts to in American sense if we were going to the pump, it'd be at buck four. Oh yeah over $1. Over $1! In other words one day your gasoline is three dollars a gallon or in case of California right now four dollars a gallon If was three dollars a gallon in Texas they would be shooting
53:13 It's $2.35, which is expensive here too. You're at 2.35 and we're at 4 dollars so now all of a sudden your two thirty five goes to 3.35 Yeah that'd be problem And ours goes to 5! You know, not everybody is happy with this sort of thing. And so it's caused a problem in Alberta and all these... Everyone talks big game about global warming but then you start doing this bull crap carbon tax which does nothing for global warming! It just attacks! I mean what how does it work every for every gallon of gas you buy? We don't have to debate the effectivity of it
53:53 And more the fact that it is, is possibly what started the fire in France. So you know these gasoline taxes are problematic and that's the connection. So let's skip Kenny going on about what a jip it is which is what I just did and go to not leave this blonde woman who looks like she's just been run through the mill because she used to be very pretty uh and she's gonna do her comeback here this is Notley too Well, you know what? Our plan has already reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 7 megatons. And to put that in amounts that people can understand, that is one-third the annual emissions of the whole province of Manitoba
54:36 So we are taking action to phase out coal emissions and breathing cleaner air already. Now the fact of the matter is, is that Mr. Kenney's numbers on savings actually ignore the rebates that we are giving to families it also ignores the facts that our plan is paying for flood protection in the city of Calgary for the LRT, for the Green Line and for a growing and exciting renewable energy industry which had been left to fail for 20 years. And so we're making incredible progress, we just can't afford to go backwards. Thank you Ms. Notley Mr. Mendel. So exciting! Renewable energy sector is so exciting
55:17 So she goes on with this bull crap, nobody's buying it. She got wiped out by the way was a landslide but there are two other candidates that were running and both of them they picked up no... I don't first like until they pick up new members or anything it was just a joke The one guy which is the next guy is Mandel he is the Alberta party so its like some another Canadian party thats localized. And he actually is a conservative in essence and he blasts certain kind of sides with Kinney, I think he helped Kinney's cause Thank you one of the challenges with the program is it's going to take almost two and a half billion dollars out of the economy
56:00 And it's going to go into a slush fund. If more money is collected, what's going to happen is then it will go into general revenues. In reality its almost like sales tax. You should call it maybe a sales tax but it's a carbon tax The fact of the matter is Albertans are suffering right now We have one of the worst periods of economic times we've had in the province history. And yes, you give it back to two-thirds of people so a third of the population says oh were responsible for all carbon reduction The other 2 thirds I guess they don't care They don't have to worry about it because they get all their money back But what about businesses that have to pay? There are so many business problems that are suffering and there's all these additional costs and thats where the carbon tax is having a tremendous negative impact. We're losing our jobs.
56:45 Now, everybody in Canada says fact of the matter constantly. Really? Or right now they do it'll change it morphs over time well hopefully yeah So then now they bring in this guy who's the representative of the Liberal Party. This is not the same party as the NDP, which is Notley's party. NDP is a new Democrat party which it's kind of... It's a liberal party but it's not the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party is Trudeau's party And this Khan guy who's a... What's his name? East Asian. What's his name? He, uh... Khan something- KHAAAAN!
57:25 So Khan comes on with the most outrageous, I had to do a sub clip because when you hear what he has to say it was hinted at by this other guy who says that no yeah we're gonna collect the tax from you but then you're gonna get back or are going to get all of it back. Disappointed collecting it seems to me but okay listen to what this guy has to say. The Alberta Liberal plan is the only plan that in which we care about the economy and the environment. That's why our plan would return all carbon tax revenue every last cent to consumers and businesses that are paying for it so that they're not hurt, but they are still encouraged to reduce carbon emissions because then they can actually make money when they have tax rebates and tax cuts
58:08 So we're the only party that's actually serious about both the economy and the environment. I think people that were looking at Mr Mandel's party will be very sad to see they clearly have no plan to reduce climate change except for talking about canola producers and hybrid cars, this is not a way to address climate change and Albertans know that we've got to have a plan but we want a plan that doesn't hurt our economy Albertans in the pocketbook but encourages people to reduce carbon emissions and that's what our Alberta Liberal plan is. Well, listen to it in close-up. This is the Khan deconstruction of that one little clip. That's why our plan would return all carbon tax revenue every last cent to consumers and businesses that are paying for it so that they're not hurt but they are still encouraged to reduce carbon emissions because then they can actually make money when they have tax rebates and tax cuts You could make money by paying this tax
59:19 Because you can get more back, wait. You can get more tax money back? Is that the idea? Apparently the idea is you pay the tax. Oh I see what it is, then you have to do certain things like jump through a hoop of fire, you have to walk to school take the bike and then once you've checked off all the boxes then you can get some of it back and if you do more if your really good doobie then you might get extra? Is that the idea? I'm guessing that has...I don't know but I'm guessing what you said has to be the idea because otherwise But what, and I think you're right. What is the point of taxing somebody then giving them the money back? It's control! Yeah it is control. Control over the people. Do this and you'll get your money back don't do this mmm So there was already a dollar in now that now the last clip is they did the Kenny and woman not Lee Rachel Rachel
1:00:18 Did two of them get into a back and forth because he throws something out there that is apparently it's a scheme that she's denying, which is yeah they're going to give you your money back now but then they're going to increase it another 67%. There's some talk about this. I don't know the details someone in Alberta listening to this show might tell me And if they do that, they're not going to give you any of that back. So they're gonna jack the... They're just gonna make gasoline unaffordable and I mean there's no doubt-I mean this was a foregone conclusion when this election ran. This guy was just gonna knock her out of the park but listen to the little back and forth we get here is kind of entertaining retaining anyway.
1:01:08 He wants to get coal back online and extend the life of coal so that our air gets dirtier and our kids have more trouble breathing. This is not a vision for the future, the fact of the matter is that we need to be able to go forward making progress on combating climate change. We have an obligation to future generations and you know what? Leadership isn't about the election cycle It's about 30 seconds left Mr. Canning, please. Our love you on major emitters will affect coal production. Premier I thought you told us you were against the cap on the oil sands because your ally Justin Trudeau hadn't got a pipeline billed. Are you switching back? You just talked about carbon sorry rebates premier but you've announced that when you raise the carbon tax by 67% there will be no increase in rebates and there'll be no increase in green spending
1:01:57 And by the way, Premier we will carry over things like the LRT and the flood mitigation to the budget for infrastructure. But finally... 10 seconds and then we're going to move on. Finally, we will hold a referendum. We will ensure that no government can introduce a carbon tax in the future without going through Albertans in a referendum so we can never have this kind of dishonest politics where the NDP foisted this on Alberta with the Albertans who don't get it. We are out of time on that topic but we are gonna move on. Thank you very much So that bullshit doesn't just happen here, huh? That's good to know. Yeah apparently it is exactly the same. Well Finland just had an election which was being touted in the press as... I'll read the headline here The West's first climate election leaves Finland deeply divided!
