Yeah.

And so th- there's a lot of different, uh, ways to approach this.

But by any metric, the economic policies of our federal government w- in the Trudeau era and continuing with Mr. Carney and who seems by all accounts and as all the evidence points to, he's come in to finish the job that Mr. Trudeau started, this economic plan for Canada is simply not working.

And, and so we're left with, uh, with, you know, kind of a, a question.

Well, are these guys just in- completely incompetent as economic managers, or, or is this all being done by design? Is, is Canada a Petri dish for globalism f- an experiment in, in the...

in what will be the post-nation state? And what I say to people about the post-nation state is that the post-nation state begins where the Canada that we know and love ends, and that's, that's really, really scary.

But the economics of it, uh, are really crucial, and they sort of hit, uh, this, this powder keg, this point, uh, of rupture, to use Mr. Carney's word, in these trade talks with the United States.

Mm-hmm

So,

yeah.

I think there's a few things going on there.

I think that in Alberta, we had more lawyers.

There were more of us, like Jeff Rath is one, myself, and others.

Obviously, someone like Sean Buckley, who's involved with the National Citizens Inquiry.

We seem to have a... a collection of lawyers, more of us in Alberta, who were willing to take up the fight.

Those, when he said those things, see, that revealed to me the strategy Very simply, and that's exactly what this country has become because you have leaders that don't stand for

Leighton, do you think the courts are gonna solve our problems?

No, I don't think that we can expect, and Bruce put this really well when he said, you know, ultimately, Who do we have to blame? You know, it's a matter of taking civic responsibility.

Although I would say I would disagree slightly with what Sean said in that we have we still have courts.

Right.

And so obviously, my opinion is biased.

This is biased.

my profession and what I do.

If you make them powerless instead and then list the specific exceptions, then you got a

Your thoughts, Layton.

Well, I think, um, I'm gonna go back a little bit into Canadian constitutional history to help people understand maybe the 10,000-foot view of maybe what Danielle Smith is thinking about.

So Canada, as you know, is a very large country.

Uh, we're huge.

We're the second-largest country in the world, and everywhere you go in Canada, the people are great, and it's beautiful.

But it's different.

Uh, there's, there are differences in language, in culture, in cuisine, and there are things that bind us together.

the referendum is the next thing coming for Albertans of like, you need to be involved in this.
