I went to high school with Danielle and she had big hair and a big smile. So incredibly proud of what a great leader she has become. People need hope in these turbulent and crazy times. Danielle and Pierre bring hope to Canadians.
I wasn’t so sure about her at first. But in spite of the provincial NDP always trying to make her out as someone else, she has in fact been proven to be a very smart, sharp witted and knowledgeable leader for you Lucky Albertans. She’s so well spoken, she is articulate and she appears to do what she says she will. Who doesn’t like that?
@@Thisistheplace44 As an ex Wildroser, I held my nose and voted for Danielle. So far, aside for a couple slip ups she's been on point. But I'm still waiting for her to pull the rug out from underneath us. Not sure if that feeling will ever go away.
Once she got elected and seen the position she inherited she apologized for not being able to immediately keep her promises on certain financial issues but she had to prioritize what she could actually accomplish and then she would address those other problems that she based her campaign around. I respect her even more to publicly acknowledged that as soon as she was aware and reassured the public that she wouldn’t break any promises
Shame that Canada, US, Australia and other countries are delaying and blocking real solutions that geothermal energy can provide. We have the technology to commercialise deep hard rock geothermal energy with no fracking and no fluid extraction. Geothermal energy solves all of the problems raised in this pod cast by these two incredible people. Low cost baseload electricity, very cheap desalination, green hydrogen production for less than US$1.00 per kg, ammonia and low cost urea fertiliser production using CO2 from fossil fuel power generation and processing facilities can all be produced by new generation geothermal energy systems. Sadly, geothermal drilling approval is unlikely while these governments rely on much of their election campaign funding from the oil and gas industry.
Danielle is the perfect example of what we should expect out of politians. What a incredible well spoken, cognizant person. Answers questions directly.
"Answers questions directly..." Never thought I would live to see the day where that would be the exception, rather than the norm. But I guess if you are a finance minister with a background in history, or a part time drama teacher PM, you simply don't have the answers to any questions...
Wow, I didn't know 'speaking nicely and answering questions directly (in line with the conservative playbook)" was the low, low bar you want to set for politicians. Yikes. That's sad. So, politicians don't actually have to have good policy, sound respect for science and nature, care for ending poverty, inequality, homelessness and moving away from destructive, unsustainable capitalist economics? They just need to speak nicely. Okay, well you have fun with that belief, go be a cheerleader for Danielle Smith, donate to her if you like, or her buddy Pierre. See how that works out for you. Meanwhile, critically thinking Canadians hold NO regard for mainstream politicians, understand that regressive conservatives have no position to help solve the systemic problems rooted in capitalism, nor do the neoLiberal leaders and the so-called progressive parties may be better policy-wise but are a far cry from really having a grasp on what kind of structural revolution is needed if Canada ever hopes to have a healthy, sustainable, viable economy that works for everybody - not just a small minority of super rich elites.
@@coolioso808 Honestly, I appreciate your reply, and whole heartedly agree that it is an extremely low bar indeed. I do watch question period often, and have yet to hear Justin or Christia answer a direct question. That said, I would like to hear your take on the last 9 years, as I am the first to admit that I am biased. I am also open to hear other views. How do you understand: 1. JT's spending more than all previous PMs combined and the resultant inflation? 2. His illegal (Roxham Rd) and legal immigration policies that we had no headroom in housing or healthcare sectors to accommodate the newcomers, resulting in doubling housing and rental costs, and forcing provinces into a 2 tiered medical system? They were already not able to support the existing population. 3. A carbon tax that has not dropped emissions, and if everyone in Canada were to commit suicide on the same day and therefore stop 100% of our CO2, that is equivalent to China's CO2 every 3 mo? I am for taxes that show results, but it can also be argued that Canada exporting Nat Gas even to just India to get them off coal, we would see, globally speaking, a 10x reduction of Canada's annual CO2. To me, it seems that CO2 is a global problem, and a global solution is necessary. I am not being sarcastic, and I honestly have not looked at the other side of the coin, but would do well to hear it. I have been off base before, but the more I learn, the wiser I get.
@@DoYouThinkForUrselF OP said they moved because of Smith. That's not an opportunity. Uprooting your life because of a politician is not something a rational person does. But I guess OP also never claimed to be rational.
Danielle Smith has been a breath of fresh air in Alberta so far. If we can get at least 2 terms each of Poillievre and Smith, Canada could make a lot of progress.
Progress on what, exactly? Legalizing bribery like Smith just did? Knee-capping Alberta's economy by freezing renewables production (which Alberta was leading in and getting a lot of international investment)? Or perhaps they'll restructure the health care system, again, for the third time in 10 years? Smith has been a breath of crazy air and her only policy, aside from enriching her O&G buddies, has been to start fights with Ottawa. Alberta loves to elect people who's sole platform is fight the feds on literally everyone. She's an embarrassing time waster, setting Alberta back decades and crippling it's future growth. But boy, oh boy, does she ever annoy Trudeau, so let's re-elect her! Yay!
Danielle Smith is a stinky corrupt shart that Alberta collectively, and incorrectly, assumed was a harmless fart. The province will spend the next decade or two trying to recover from the damage she's done to it's economy.
Thank Dr Peterson for all your sacrifices. We would be lost without your love + care for humanity, giving a voice to people of good will, so we can make sense of these days of crisis!

Capitalism puts large numbers of people into poverty, structurally, and very few get out. Glad you got out, but the unjust system of endless growth profit maximizing capitalism creates the condition of poverty and inequality that is socially destabilizing. Danni Smith supports the capitalist system that contributes to structural violence. She may not know all details, but she supports the structure and so does Two-Face Peterson, a Batman villain cosplayer. Have you ever wondered why capitalism isn't allowed to be openly discussed, criticized and analyzed in mainstream spaces? Is it because capitalism is just too perfect to even be questioned? Or is it maybe because powers that be are very wealthy because of capitalism and they don't want to rock the boat? Notice how even kids learn about market economics in school but aren't taught to question it? That's weird.

I was born in Quebec in 1990. I was told my whole life that the ''english in the Ouest'' are our enemy. I'm sure it's the same on the other side. I woke up thanks to Jordan Peterson few years ago. I'll never vote liberal EVER again. I'd like to apologize on the behalf of Quebec and thank the West for standing your ground. We would be nothing without you. I am now proud to call Jordan Peterson, Pierre Poilievre, Danielle Smith and Gad Saad my fellow Canadians. You give me hope. Thank you for fighting for us. Steven Guilbault is the deputy in my neighbourhood, I'm not even sure there will be a conservative nominee where I live, but I would not vote for them even if they give me 1 million dollars.
I'm an English Quebecer & i was NEVER taught that the West is our enemy, quite the opposite in fact! There is a HUGE difference in attitudes of the French & of the English of Quebec. I believe that we all should be taught that we can be an amazing country once again if we would all learn to respect one an other & live with the idea that your & every other person's cummunity, city & towns, province & Territoires that make up Canada are as important as each other AND have that mind-set that WE TOGETHER ARE A WHOLE 🇨🇦 ! We all count! Getting back to values of family, children, grandparents caring for each other & being part of the community they live in is what we need to stand up & fight for! The woke ideology is the 😈 in disguise NO JOKE. They are fighting so hard to destroy that. The family unit & community as we knew it, has worked for a very long time & its destruction is so very detrimental to society, we're living it, unfortunately😢 Our children cannot cope with every day challenges! I work in Adult Mental Health & I am astonished at the high number of young adults into the late 30s just cannot seem to cope with the slightest of a life stressor. Im at the end of the Baby Boomers & wow, we are a tough generation. So should all following generations, its called survival! Life is challenging & parents need to STOP coddling their children; you are not only NOT doing them any favors, you are setting them up to fail! That's reality so teach them how to deal with it or they will be very unhappy adults!
@@susiejames9733 You don't understand the political dynamic. It is not about Canada, it is about the votes. All the Liberal Votes are in the East, and by the time the vote count gets to Manitoba the election is over, it has already been decided. So then the game after the election is over, is steal the money out of the West to buy the next round of votes in the East. Why should Alberta be making "equalization payments" to Quebec??? Alberta is Land Locked, so when we want to build a pipeline East to sell the oil to Eastern refineries, and the natural Gas, and they shoot it down, and then we have to build a pipeline over the Rockies to the West coast, and sell the Oil and Natural Gas to China. So then you can see why the Western perspective would be different. It is F**k Trudeau and his Eastern Voters, there is NO CANADA, the East just wants our money, because it is easier to transport money than oil. So it is just West and East, the givers and the takers. That is the Western perspective, we are like Texas, we would be quite happy to secede. It is not about English and French it is about lack of equal political treatment.
Your welcome... from a born and bred Albertan who has worked over 30 years in the Oil and Gas Business as a Professinal Engineer. ALBERTANS are hard-working, far minded people.😊
I praise Quebec for taking their language, autonomy, traditions, and culture unique and protected. I wish English Canada had half as much sense. Their is tons of hostility toward Quebec in western Canada but those attitudes are changing. Quebecois should be a beacon for a strong Canada.
She's courageous, feisty, smart and has integrity. She calls out Justin Trudeau on his B.S. She puts Alberta first. I am proud to be an Albertan and proud to have Danielle Smith as our Premier.
Wow.. a politician that reads, educates herself and thinks deeply about things. In addition, you have to be intelligent to be interviewed by Jordan Peterson. Otherwise, you will look foolish. Good on you, Premier Smith! Thank you for your service!
I agree she's smart we know her mother never threw her out with the bathwater and raised the afterbirth when she was born her husband knew what. He was doing when he married her he's Gota be smart too
Being an Ukrainian refugee I came to Canada 4 month ago. On my first days I’ve seen mrs. Smith on TV and felt like she is the proper leader for prople with common sense. And now, I’m sitting in Toronto, totaly broke, no money, no shelter, sleeping in airport since i wasn’t able to find the job in this city. (still trying though) Regretting, that I haven’t moved to Alberta right away… This lady represent hope
So sorry for your situation and Trudeau failed so many immigrants coming into Canada on many false promises. I truly hope that your situation improves quickly because nobody deserves to be homeless and not have the ability to afford to live
Alberta is leading the way in Canada for inequality! Tied with Ontario last check, but Alberta could be #1 if they get new results. And as anybody knows inequality = prosperity for all and no social problems. Alberta under Danni Smith is known for having solved homelessness, poverty and cost of living, right? ... oh whoops. Nope.
Dani Smith is a capitalist's treasure and a working class nightmare. Oh, and if you are in poverty, Smith looks down on you and wants middle class people to look down on the poor as well for being so damn lazy. Good old fear and division politics that Smith and her good buddy Pierre promote.
And she isn’t having to stutter or pause with her responses or read from a screen. Proves that she is very smart, well educated and informed and also very experienced and compassionate about the issues, challenges and the people. While also having capabilities to understand the path required to succeed moving forward towards a better way of living for Canadians, success and prosperity
That's sad. She does know a lot of BS, that's for sure. So, in that sense she's very knowledgeable, but that doesn't impress me much. Fear and ignorance is a key card pulled by Conservative politicians. Somehow it still works on certain people. People who don't question very deeply or think very critically.

@@sapporoichiban3612 No country on Earth is sustainably meeting it's people's needs and that's been trending downward since about the 1960s. Capitalism is the worst system for freedom, public health, equality, autonomy and sustainable abundance. Danni Smith was scared straight into capitalist dogma by her conservative parents as a child and she never came back to the logical side of things. She'll help the rich grow their wealth far FAR before she'll help out anybody who is struggling. Do you think GDP growth is a sign of progress and a healthy economy in Canada? When an auto accident happens and kills two cyclists that is good for GDP. Fuel was bought for the motor vehicle, the vehicle was purchased, the bicycles were purchased, and funeral services will need to be paid for, higher insurance costs for the driver who killed somebody, lives are devastated forever, but guess what? GDP went up! So that looks like rainbows and sunshine for the economic health of a capitalist society. Try out Genuine Progress Indicator, it would have a MINUS for auto accidents and a nation will lots of health issues would not be doing well. But a nation with no poverty, homelessness, livable wages, less work per week required and full education and healthcare coverage would be very much higher on GPI than all these so-called rich nations like in the G7 that SERVE the richest at the expense of the poorest. We have a Culture in Decline and your friends aren't the rich oligarchs or right-wing parties. If you want better, you are going to need to work together with community people looking to bring about a better system, not status quo and not going back to 'free markets that worked in the past' because they never did, but people just think they did.
@SmallFridgeMinority you're projecting your own insecurities. I'm well read, interested is in what is right, scientific, just and healthy. What do you stand for? Just what Cons tell you to think? It is sad that you don't seem to think for yourself and read outside your own box. I don't trust any politician because I know how corrupt the system is on all sides. Do you think Papa Pierre or Mama Dani are going to save you? The whole system stinks and it's not a vote that will fix it. Voting will come and go, and there is strategy to voting, but if you are ignorant to the systemic root problem, chances are you will vote against your own interests and it looks like that's what you are doing. Too bad, it doesn't have to be that way for you.
You like corporate record profits for big oil and gas, food and other companies? You like massive rising inequality? Okay, good, you'll like Danni Smith and the Conservative governance. NeoLiberals are the other cheek of the same dirty backside. No political party is coming to save you. At least don't push for the slide to regressive corporate free market insanity.
We waste about 30-40% of the food we produce. That's so inefficient. If capitalist profit based economics didn't waste so much food all the time because it can't be sold for profit, then farmers wouldn't have to produce so much in the first place and we'd still feed all of Canada. Weird how Dani Smith didn't mention the food waste and call out the infinite growth imperative of capitalism as a major problems. She's weird and/or ignorant.
@@sapporoichiban3612 capitalism is violently unsustainable because it is predicated on infinite profit and GDP growth, for which the profits primarily go to the upper 1% and exploit the rest of the human and natural resources in the process leading to ecological breakdown and misery for the masses. See The Spirit Level research on inequality by Wilkinson and Pickett to see how devastating inequality is for health. See Less is More and Jason Hickel for why capitalism is bad business and frankly a stupid way to manage an 'economy' in a world where we have technology and resources to meet all people's needs but not enough for the capitalist's greed.

Hoping very much that you aren’t reading this because you are taking a much-needed break from the comment section but if you so happen to see it, I don’t say “Thank You” enough for all you do for us. So, thank you, dear one, God bless you. With Ruth Anne’s love
Thank you Jordan for bringing these Canadian conversations forward. I'm an Albertan and I'm glad Danielle is our premier. Alberta has been treated so poorly and we have hardly any power to change politics at the federal level b/c the election is over before our polls even close. By shining a light on these issues hopefully eastern Canada will get rid of Trudeau and we can build a stronger, less divided Canada.
An intelligent conversation! I love both of them. I live in Edmonton and I am so proud to say that Danielle Smith is my Premier. Finally, I have one level of government I am happy with. Now, Sohi and Trudeau have to go.
Do you love Smith leading Alberta to the highest inequality in Canada? Tied with Ontario, last I checked, but with Smith's leadership I'm sure Alberta could be number 1 in inequality.
Moved from Vancouver Island to AB in large part due to Danielle Smith. She fights for Alberta and has good values and common sense. Something sorely lacking in BC….
Totally am enthralled with Danielle Smith & her stance on the positive side of life for all humanity & her bravery concerning transgender issues. You will be rewarded for it!
It is so refreshing and it gives me 🍁hope🍁 when listening to such a high quality and intelligent conversation between TWO Canadian treasures in Premier Danielle Smith and Dr. Jordan Peterson. I cannot recall any other politician who is as down-to-earth and relates to the average human being as Premier Smith(she's MY premier and I'm a British Columbian). We need more and more people, especially the younger generations, in both here in Canada and in the U.S. to listen to the likes of Premier Smith, Dr. Peterson and Dr. Victor Davis Hanson. It shows just how ridiculous the radical ideologies of the far left are and their cruelty towards those who disagree with those very ideologies. Like Premier Smith, I also consider myself a conservative libertarian and for the exact same reasons. Let's hope my home province of British Columbia joins in on the list of Canadian provinces with Conservative premiers with the hopeful election of John Rustad. We need to get woke tyrannts like David Eby along with Justin Trudeau out of office and out of the public eye. God Bless Canada.🇨🇦🦫

One of the most well informed and well rounded premiers we have had in a long time. I encourage Danielle to counter her most common public critics out there because there are some very vicious enemies speaking out against her online. The UCP needs justify its healthcare changes, as the left leaning healthcare staff seem to be very against almost everything the parties is tryign to do to fix the broken system they have inherited from the NDP.
Premiere Smith reminds me very much of our great Maine Senator, Margaret Chase Smith, a great stateswoman who spoke out against McCarthyism before it was fashionable to do so. Both great women leaders and truly classy.
As of recent data, Canada's share of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is approximately 1.6%. This figure can vary slightly depending on the source and the year of data being referenced, but it gives a good estimate of Canada's contribution to global carbon emissions relative to other countries. here's a breakdown of Canada's carbon emissions by province in percentage terms based on recent data: Alberta: Approximately 37% of Canada's total emissions. Ontario: Around 22% of Canada's total emissions. Quebec: Roughly 11% of Canada's total emissions. Saskatchewan: About 10% of Canada's total emissions. British Columbia: Approximately 9% of Canada's total emissions. Newfoundland and Labrador: Around 4% of Canada's total emissions. Nova Scotia: Roughly 3% of Canada's total emissions. New Brunswick: About 2% of Canada's total emissions. Manitoba: Approximately 2% of Canada's total emissions. Prince Edward Island: Less than 1% of Canada's total emissions. Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon: Combined, these territories contribute less than 1% of Canada's total emissions. As of recent estimates, Canada produces approximately 730 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) emissions per year. The Boreal forest, which covers a significant portion of Canada, is estimated to absorb approximately 1.2 to 2.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year globally. Global Ocean Carbon Uptake: The global oceans absorb approximately 2.6 gigatons (Gt) of carbon dioxide per year on average (which is 2,600 megatons annually). *(Conversion equivalent: 1200 Megatons to 2200 Megatons) The Carbon Dioxide rate of absorption for the last 50 years... indicates a rise of in absorption that hits an average of approx 1.5% increase per year. This means in 50 years you could expect this number (if it maintains increase as it has been doing for 5 decades) to inflate to nearly 6 Gigatons (6000 Megatons). Even if you eliminate ALL CARBON EQUIVALENT emissions ENTIRELY... you've done effectively nothing globally. Shake it off people, they're after your money and destroying your country for a hostile foreign agenda. FIGHT BACK.
Good research, too bad it is missing many variable related to ecological decline. It's not just CO2, buddy. It's biodiversity loss, soil quality depletion, too much nitrogen and phosphorus, damaging fresh water bodies and garbage, oh, the garbage. Landfills aren't getting in smaller, are they? Too much waste is produced by a market-driven capitalist economic system. It's unhealthy. If you can't understand that, check the data on that. A whole host of scholars have done the research, from Jason Hickel to Timothee Parrique, Kate Raworth and many, many more. A sustainable Canada isn't about saving the globe, it's about creating healthy place for people to live. It matters who controls the destiny of the communities. More localized direct democracy, worker co-operatives and mutual aid networks are needed in a growing bottom-up management of the land and our communities. But climate change isn't going away if we ignore it and say "well, Canada isn't the biggest problem." Knowing the solutions is empowering, actually. It means we can create change at home, if we work together towards common goals, instead of fearing for our lives by a top-down corporate controlled world economic system still trying to keep capitalism alive.
Last i checked it was 1.3 percent. However that was three years ago and since then they have added a million last year to our population and god know what the previous two years were. So we took people from warm countries where you don't have to heat your homes and in many of our cities you require a car especially if your job requires odd hours like mine does with on call ect. It's known people in cold countries have higher co2 production. We require more imports food wise due to climate, our country is huge...more traveling distance. That is why this is so absurd that Trudeau and his ilk tell us they are the solution. It's a new political ideology....green religious zealots.
@@DoYouThinkForUrselF car dependant culture was pushed by the Big Oil and Gas industry, especially on North America. Canada is huge? So is China, yet they have a vast network of high speed rail and maglev trains. I don't trust any politician as far as they can be thrown, certainly not neoLibs and Conservatives, but I read and research, and so can you. You don't have to be at the mercy of politicians to tell you what to think. Do your own research, do your own thinking and think better than they can so you don't fall for their tricks. The most sustainable design is bottom-up community by community with the land and resources held in common, direct democracy guided by science determines how we proceed. But we don't have anything like that now. We need full sail system change. I don't think you are aware how unsustainable the status quo capitalist-driven economic system is. It's a cancerous disease and will not get better by ignoring it.
@@Anonymous_Whisper yup Alberta companies have already started plans to pipe south into USA then west to the coast. The Americans know it would create thousands of jobs for them.
Worked and lived in Cowtown years ago. Had to go back East, due family matters. Always dreamt to come back. An Albertan at heart. When my wife and I saw which direction Danielle Smith wanted Alberta to go, we moved over ... at 74. Two years ago .. Our only regret was we did not do it before.
Thank you so much for this interview. Danielle Smith makes me proud to be an Albertan. She is so smart and articulate. A phenomenal speaker and truly one of our best people.
she is privatizing healthcare and bringing in more TFW than other provinces. Unless you own multiple RE holdings your quality of life is on the decline because of her and the policies she is implementing. WAKE UP
I went to high school with Danielle and she had big hair and a big smile. So incredibly proud of what a great leader she has become. People need hope in these turbulent and crazy times. Danielle and Pierre bring hope to Canadians.

I wasn’t so sure about her at first.

Once she got elected and seen the position she inherited she apologized for not being able to immediately keep her promises on certain financial issues but she had to prioritize what she could actually accomplish and then she would address those other problems that she based her campaign around.
I respect her even more to publicly acknowledged that as soon as she was aware and reassured the public that she wouldn’t break any promises

Shame that Canada, US, Australia and other countries are delaying and blocking real solutions that geothermal energy can provide. We have the technology to commercialise deep hard rock geothermal energy with no fracking and no fluid extraction. Geothermal energy solves all of the problems raised in this pod cast by these two incredible people. Low cost baseload electricity, very cheap desalination, green hydrogen production for less than US$1.00 per kg, ammonia and low cost urea fertiliser production using CO2 from fossil fuel power generation and processing facilities can all be produced by new generation geothermal energy systems. Sadly, geothermal drilling approval is unlikely while these governments rely on much of their election campaign funding from the oil and gas industry.
Really? Housing is absolutely insane

As am I, glad we have a Premier with a backbone.
Danielle is the perfect example of what we should expect out of politians. What a incredible well spoken, cognizant person. Answers questions directly.
Exactly, she's also One Hot Tamale and one helluva lobbyist.
"Answers questions directly..." Never thought I would live to see the day where that would be the exception, rather than the norm. But I guess if you are a finance minister with a background in history, or a part time drama teacher PM, you simply don't have the answers to any questions...
Cognitive*
Wow, I didn't know 'speaking nicely and answering questions directly (in line with the conservative playbook)" was the low, low bar you want to set for politicians. Yikes. That's sad.
So, politicians don't actually have to have good policy, sound respect for science and nature, care for ending poverty, inequality, homelessness and moving away from destructive, unsustainable capitalist economics? They just need to speak nicely.
Okay, well you have fun with that belief, go be a cheerleader for Danielle Smith, donate to her if you like, or her buddy Pierre. See how that works out for you.
Meanwhile, critically thinking Canadians hold NO regard for mainstream politicians, understand that regressive conservatives have no position to help solve the systemic problems rooted in capitalism, nor do the neoLiberal leaders and the so-called progressive parties may be better policy-wise but are a far cry from really having a grasp on what kind of structural revolution is needed if Canada ever hopes to have a healthy, sustainable, viable economy that works for everybody - not just a small minority of super rich elites.
@@coolioso808 Honestly, I appreciate your reply, and whole heartedly agree that it is an extremely low bar indeed.
I do watch question period often, and have yet to hear Justin or Christia answer a direct question.
That said, I would like to hear your take on the last 9 years, as I am the first to admit that I am biased. I am also open to hear other views.
How do you understand:
1. JT's spending more than all previous PMs combined and the resultant inflation?
2. His illegal (Roxham Rd) and legal immigration policies that we had no headroom in housing or healthcare sectors to accommodate the newcomers, resulting in doubling housing and rental costs, and forcing provinces into a 2 tiered medical system? They were already not able to support the existing population.
3. A carbon tax that has not dropped emissions, and if everyone in Canada were to commit suicide on the same day and therefore stop 100% of our CO2, that is equivalent to China's CO2 every 3 mo? I am for taxes that show results, but it can also be argued that Canada exporting Nat Gas even to just India to get them off coal, we would see, globally speaking, a 10x reduction of Canada's annual CO2. To me, it seems that CO2 is a global problem, and a global solution is necessary.
I am not being sarcastic, and I honestly have not looked at the other side of the coin, but would do well to hear it. I have been off base before, but the more I learn, the wiser I get.

TRUE
Danielle Smith has been a breath of fresh air in Alberta so far. If we can get at least 2 terms each of Poillievre and Smith, Canada could make a lot of progress.
Progress on what, exactly? Legalizing bribery like Smith just did? Knee-capping Alberta's economy by freezing renewables production (which Alberta was leading in and getting a lot of international investment)?
Or perhaps they'll restructure the health care system, again, for the third time in 10 years?
Smith has been a breath of crazy air and her only policy, aside from enriching her O&G buddies, has been to start fights with Ottawa. Alberta loves to elect people who's sole platform is fight the feds on literally everyone.
She's an embarrassing time waster, setting Alberta back decades and crippling it's future growth.
But boy, oh boy, does she ever annoy Trudeau, so let's re-elect her! Yay!
Danielle Smith is a stinky corrupt shart that Alberta collectively, and incorrectly, assumed was a harmless fart.

Capitalism puts large numbers of people into poverty, structurally, and very few get out. Glad you got out, but the unjust system of endless growth profit maximizing capitalism creates the condition of poverty and inequality that is socially destabilizing. Danni Smith supports the capitalist system that contributes to structural violence. She may not know all details, but she supports the structure and so does Two-Face Peterson, a Batman villain cosplayer.
Have you ever wondered why capitalism isn't allowed to be openly discussed, criticized and analyzed in mainstream spaces? Is it because capitalism is just too perfect to even be questioned? Or is it maybe because powers that be are very wealthy because of capitalism and they don't want to rock the boat?
Notice how even kids learn about market economics in school but aren't taught to question it? That's weird.

Why do people complain about capitalism yet have 0 alternative that isn't murderous. Tear down....and build nothing. Thanks for your opinion I guess.

Ha the east would never elect her.
@@rj3711 did you just call Smith, a dunce. The bar is so low for politicians that it sounds like you called her stupid.
I was born in Quebec in 1990. I was told my whole life that the ''english in the Ouest'' are our enemy. I'm sure it's the same on the other side. I woke up thanks to Jordan Peterson few years ago. I'll never vote liberal EVER again. I'd like to apologize on the behalf of Quebec and thank the West for standing your ground. We would be nothing without you. I am now proud to call Jordan Peterson, Pierre Poilievre, Danielle Smith and Gad Saad my fellow Canadians. You give me hope. Thank you for fighting for us. Steven Guilbault is the deputy in my neighbourhood, I'm not even sure there will be a conservative nominee where I live, but I would not vote for them even if they give me 1 million dollars.
I'm an English Quebecer & i was NEVER taught that the West is our enemy, quite the opposite in fact! There is a HUGE difference in attitudes of the French & of the English of Quebec. I believe that we all should be taught that we can be an amazing country once again if we would all learn to respect one an other & live with the idea that
your & every other person's
cummunity, city & towns, province & Territoires that make up Canada are as important as each other AND have that mind-set that WE TOGETHER ARE A WHOLE 🇨🇦 ! We all count! Getting back to values of family, children, grandparents caring for each other & being part of the community they live in is what we need to stand up & fight for! The woke ideology is the 😈 in disguise NO JOKE. They are fighting so hard to destroy that. The family unit & community as we knew it, has worked for a very long time & its destruction is so very detrimental to society, we're living it, unfortunately😢 Our children cannot cope with every day challenges! I work in Adult Mental Health & I am astonished at the high number of young adults into the late 30s just cannot seem to cope with the slightest of a life stressor. Im at the end of the Baby Boomers & wow, we are a tough generation. So should all following generations, its called survival! Life is challenging & parents need to STOP coddling their children; you are not only NOT doing them any favors, you are setting them up to fail! That's reality so teach them how to deal with it or they will be very unhappy adults!
@@susiejames9733 You don't understand the political dynamic. It is not about Canada, it is about the votes. All the Liberal Votes are in the East, and by the time the vote count gets to Manitoba the election is over, it has already been decided.
So then the game after the election is over, is steal the money out of the West to buy the next round of votes in the East. Why should Alberta be making "equalization payments" to Quebec??? Alberta is Land Locked, so when we want to build a pipeline East to sell the oil to Eastern refineries, and the natural Gas, and they shoot it down, and then we have to build a pipeline over the Rockies to the West coast, and sell the Oil and Natural Gas to China.
So then you can see why the Western perspective would be different. It is F**k Trudeau and his Eastern Voters, there is NO CANADA, the East just wants our money, because it is easier to transport money than oil. So it is just West and East, the givers and the takers. That is the Western perspective, we are like Texas, we would be quite happy to secede. It is not about English and French it is about lack of equal political treatment.
Your welcome... from a born and bred Albertan who has worked over 30 years in the Oil and Gas Business as a Professinal Engineer. ALBERTANS are hard-working, far minded people.😊

@@sapporoichiban3612 No country on Earth is sustainably meeting it's people's needs and that's been trending downward since about the 1960s. Capitalism is the worst system for freedom, public health, equality, autonomy and sustainable abundance. Danni Smith was scared straight into capitalist dogma by her conservative parents as a child and she never came back to the logical side of things. She'll help the rich grow their wealth far FAR before she'll help out anybody who is struggling.
Do you think GDP growth is a sign of progress and a healthy economy in Canada? When an auto accident happens and kills two cyclists that is good for GDP. Fuel was bought for the motor vehicle, the vehicle was purchased, the bicycles were purchased, and funeral services will need to be paid for, higher insurance costs for the driver who killed somebody, lives are devastated forever, but guess what? GDP went up! So that looks like rainbows and sunshine for the economic health of a capitalist society.
Try out Genuine Progress Indicator, it would have a MINUS for auto accidents and a nation will lots of health issues would not be doing well. But a nation with no poverty, homelessness, livable wages, less work per week required and full education and healthcare coverage would be very much higher on GPI than all these so-called rich nations like in the G7 that SERVE the richest at the expense of the poorest.
We have a Culture in Decline and your friends aren't the rich oligarchs or right-wing parties.

It shows just how ridiculous the radical ideologies of the far left are and their cruelty towards those who disagree with those very ideologies.
Like Premier Smith, I also consider myself a conservative libertarian and for the exact same reasons.
Let's hope my home province of British Columbia joins in on the list of Canadian provinces with Conservative premiers with the hopeful election of
John Rustad. We need to get woke tyrannts like David Eby along with Justin Trudeau out of office and out of the public eye.
God Bless Canada.🇨🇦🦫
What a smart Lady Danielle she will be the most politician remembered as a exceptional leader in the world. Danielle and Pierre will be the best conservative government that Canadians ad ever had. They will bring Canada back better than it’s ever been. Can’t wait to get rid of that shmuck. 🍁🇨🇦
So enjoying your conversation with Danielle Smith, positive messages for us all.
Danielle Smith is AWESOME! BC NEEDS a LEADER. Wish we had Danielle Smith. :)
Bc had a chance to exchange eby for rustad what happened
From Quebec, apolitical, first time I've ever listened to an Alberta's premier outside of late night news tidbits, well I am frankly impressed, wow, she redefined my standard of what a politician can aspire to be, something changed after watching that interview. Thank you Jordan and crew for putting this out there, very enjoyable and worthwhile 😁🏔🌲🧘♂️❤️🔥⚜️🥳🤸♂️🤗🙋♂️
Excellent discussion. We are very fortunate to have a Premier with common sense and compassion. Keep the train rolling Danielle. You are on the right track.
she is such a liar and gladly took JP's bait
@@EdodeweertBlogspot -- Fool, Danielle is not a liar, she is open and honest. She is putting JP in his place and he does not like it. Wtgg Premier Danielle Smith!
Danielle Smith keep fighting for us. Alberta.
I love this broadcast as you were both respectful of each others time to speak and you weren’t strong arming each other. Wonderful to be able to listen to the logic and intelligence of you both.
God bless Danielle Smith and all the great she is doing for all of my province, Alberta.
Premier Smith is so right, we are so blessed to have such a smart,, sharp and knowledgeable person leading this most blessed province
you are such a sucker
Premier Smith ROCKS!!
she is privatizing healthcare and bringing in more TFW than other provinces. Unless you own multiple RE holdings your quality of life is on the decline because of her and the policies she is implementing. WAKE UP
Family in Calgary. So much Potential i hope for a bright future for Alberta and Canada.
Alberta needs to vote and leave this broken shithole.
Woot Woot Go Danielle!! Thank you Dr.Peterson to spotlight our lovely Premier - sending love from Alberta!!
As an Albertan, I’m so relieved to have a Premier as intelligent, informed, courageous and level headed as Danielle Smith in her position. It’s quite the monumental task she’s undertaken but she’s doing a very good job for our province.
Alberta must not fall
@@S.W.A you’re thinking of Notley
It has fallen though. and not because of her.
Because it just has. Passed a gas station tonight in LETHBRIDGE that listed 1.72 per liter.
That was the cost of gas downtown VANCOUVER just 5 years ago
And my $2000 a month in rent cost me more than I paid for my basement suite in BURNABY
She is Canada's Iron Lady! So charming and intelligent just like Margaret Thatcher!
Thatcher was a neoliberal economic golem; who, a la Reagan, was responsible for the complete and utter de-industrialization-cum-de-unionization-cum-de-social security netization of the uk over the course of the '80's! Iron Lady my a$$; more like: Ironfisted totalitarian b*tch!! That is all!! RGB-Y4 out!!!
What a comparison!
Two incredible women. Of course, no one can hold a candle to Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth yet, but Danielle Smith is an amazing leader today.
2 of the brightest minds in Canada!!!
Why doesn't Peterson run for office? Isn't he still Canadian? Live in Ontario? Surely he could be a great Premier like Smith if he tried. Is he scared or something?
@@coolioso808 he makes millions working for DW so wht would he waste his time making way less doing more work as a politician?
@@Tribuneoftheplebs Good point. Fear mongering for the right wing populace is lucrative in many ways; as a politician like Pierre or Smith or as a 'content creator' who looks miserable all the time, like Peterson.
God bless you, Dr Peterson and Premier Danielle Smith. Together your inputs could save Alberta and hopefully Canadian culture.
Been here since 2012 from Ontario, so proud of this women that I call my premiere and how she is so articulate with her communication skills. I almost cried for joy as I watched this and I say Daniel for PM. Common sense isn’t common in politics, because she has it all! God bless this true patriotic leader and pray Canadians will back her up! Go Daniel go! We need lawn signs everywhere “AXE THE TAX!”
46 years old, born in Calgary, lived here most of my life. This is NOT the same city I grew up in. I am starting to feel like a minority in my own country. The cost of living is going through the roof, and all expectations are this city will continue to grow faster than anywhere else in Canada. This isn't a place to want to grow a family. I am looking at leaving to find a small rural town where it feels like Canada again, and live out the rest of my days away from the leftist cesspool that the cities are turning into.
The province is in control of the insane growth in temporary foreign workers and international students that make up the bulk of that growth. It's Danielle Smith that's ruining things. She's adding more tfw streams and wants to build private schools so we can bring in more international students.
And if you mention this to anyone... Digital Gulag...
Crowsnest Pass is a very nice place to live, not perfect but close to it.
Low key racism all around. Unless you are Cree but now that’s the case.
well said , i went one step further ,i left the sickness behind , It was enceouching even small towns in the rockies!
Jordon Peterson im a 43 year old married family man,i just want to say you speak to my soul brother.
Are you saying Jordan is your soul brother?
@@ipbrew5536, no, he is saying jordan is speaking to his brother, soul.
@@ipbrew5536right about now
Need to stop Equalization payments and bring APP instead of CPP. Danielle Smith is awesome ❤❤❤
If she was awesome, she would have joined BC and Sask current lawsuits against equalization.
@@johnqpublic9074equalization would be fine so long as we were allowed to develop our resources and get them to market. If anything we should be suing BC to build our fucking pipeline already
@BonezBeanz-- Yes, stop equalization payments, especially when Quebec receives the lion's share to the tune of 8 billion dollars per year last I heard.
Regarding pension, I have contributed to the Canada Pension (CPP) (in Eastern Canada) since its inception in 1966 and am now receiving CPP monthly pension and I definitely do not want to enter into an Alberta pension plan. In 1966, CPP was a contract between contributors and the FEDERAL government, nothing to do with Alberta. Do not disturb my current CPP.

I love Danielle Smith!!
I came to Alberta after the Ralph Klein era, but Danielle is by far the best Premier I've experienced in my lifetime.
The rest of us miss Ralph...
@@johnqpublic9074 I really miss Ralph! But she is the best thing since him
@kjova251 Uhh Like when she lied, sold out and crossed the floor to join Jim Prentice when she thought she could win? Lol. No, some of us remember, her true character.
@@johnqpublic9074.. let me guess. You’ve never been able to get over anything ever..am I right?
@antiprogpragmatist859 Haha, She's proven her character. Fool you twice...
I'm an EX-liberal. I've had enough of socialism. It Does Not Work!.. I'm sticking with conservatives from now on. I'm supporting Danielle Smith, and people like her. She's not perfect, but she's on the right path imo
Welcome to the "Awake" world vs the "Woke". Always welcome the those who have been "Red Pilled" as long as you recognize that you always need to be a critical thinker going forward.
You want to have some fun and explain what you think "socialism" has been under a neoLiberal leadership of Trudeau who is on the right of the political spectrum?
The Nordic countries like Finland and Denmark are often considered social democracies and routinely rank high on world happiness and health indexes. You think Canada has been structured anywhere close to how those countries operate under the neoLiberal reign of Trudeau?
There hasnt been one ounce of neoliberalism this is neocapitalism...
Get a huge supply of tinfoil.
@@coolioso808 civil disarmament, illegalizing free speech, control of corporate media, blocking independent media, destruction of the economy and destruction of the middle class via taxation, legalization of deadly drugs, introduction of catch & release laws designed to increase crime & violence across the country...
Imagine danielle smith and pierre poilievre working together to make Canada a leader in energy production and a greener, more prosperous country. Im excited!
@cth86- Yes, Pierre Poilievre and Premier Danielle Smith will get along very well in my honest opinion.
Dont forget John Rustad in BC too for access to the coast
She is PRECISELY what we needed.
Great interview. I am constantly impressed by the depth of Danielles' thoughts and intellect. There is still a ray of hope for Canada.
Bravo to both Dr Peterson and Danielle Smith! Proud Canadian here 🇨🇦 enjoying this fantastic interview with two proud Albertians💕 so much to say but these two wonderful people give me hope for the future of our country.
Gotta love Jordan Peterson! Gotta love Danielle Smith! Keep both in your prayers and well wishes.
I always wanted to find someone who was talking about interesting things and I found it. Thank you so much Dr. Peterson, thank you for putting us in context with such interesting topics.
As a french quebecer I just love Danielle Smith
My Albertan heart swells with pride for both of you.
An amazing woman. It feels refreshing to hear a down to Earth, rational, honest viewpoint.
You lucky, Alberta.
I am stuck with the HYPER crazies in Quebec that keep making it even more difficult for you to develop your energy sector, and I hate it.
You are lucky, Alberta. Amazing prime minister. Hopefully, you guys show us the way back to freedom and good sense.
R1v3rwOlf -- Sorry to hear that you are stuck in Quebec. Glad that my family and I left Quebec many years ago, never looked back.
@@MsDani899 Good for you, definitely don't look back.
We were in NS for six years, and moved back to QC 2 years ago. Things were quickly escalating in NS, and we thought we would at least be close to our family.
But damn, the government omnipresence here... I am in Saguenay, I thought we'd be safe here from the woke crazyness but not even. And the services we have are much worst than we had in NS, and God knows they don't have it easy either.
Anyway... I don't think we will move again, and will just endure and fight from within at that point. So much has changed here in the 6 years I left...
Great interview! Absolutely love listening to intelligent conversation. Thank you.
One of the most well informed and well rounded premiers we have had in a long time. I encourage Danielle to counter her most common public critics out there because there are some very vicious enemies speaking out against her online.
The UCP needs justify its healthcare changes, as the left leaning healthcare staff seem to be very against almost everything the parties is tryign to do to fix the broken system they have inherited from the NDP.
All I can say is SPOT ON you two!
She is very bright! 💡
Team Danielle Smith
Team Alberta
✌️
Premiere Smith reminds me very much of our great Maine Senator, Margaret Chase Smith, a great stateswoman who spoke out against McCarthyism before it was fashionable to do so. Both great women leaders and truly classy.
As of recent data, Canada's share of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is approximately 1.6%. This figure can vary slightly depending on the source and the year of data being referenced, but it gives a good estimate of Canada's contribution to global carbon emissions relative to other countries.
here's a breakdown of Canada's carbon emissions by province in percentage terms based on recent data:
Alberta: Approximately 37% of Canada's total emissions.
Ontario: Around 22% of Canada's total emissions.
Quebec: Roughly 11% of Canada's total emissions.
Saskatchewan: About 10% of Canada's total emissions.
British Columbia: Approximately 9% of Canada's total emissions.
Newfoundland and Labrador: Around 4% of Canada's total emissions.
Nova Scotia: Roughly 3% of Canada's total emissions.
New Brunswick: About 2% of Canada's total emissions.
Manitoba: Approximately 2% of Canada's total emissions.
Prince Edward Island: Less than 1% of Canada's total emissions.
Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon: Combined, these territories contribute less than 1% of Canada's total emissions.
As of recent estimates, Canada produces approximately 730 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) emissions per year.
The Boreal forest, which covers a significant portion of Canada, is estimated to absorb approximately 1.2 to 2.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year globally.
Global Ocean Carbon Uptake: The global oceans absorb approximately 2.6 gigatons (Gt) of carbon dioxide per year on average (which is 2,600 megatons annually).
*(Conversion equivalent: 1200 Megatons to 2200 Megatons)
The Carbon Dioxide rate of absorption for the last 50 years... indicates a rise of in absorption that hits an average of approx 1.5% increase per year. This means in 50 years you could expect this number (if it maintains increase as it has been doing for 5 decades) to inflate to nearly 6 Gigatons (6000 Megatons).
Even if you eliminate ALL CARBON EQUIVALENT emissions ENTIRELY... you've done effectively nothing globally.
Shake it off people, they're after your money and destroying your country for a hostile foreign agenda. FIGHT BACK.
Damn, just so I know, where’d u get the info?
@@dg19997 Did research. A LOT of research. Fact check and run these numbers anywhere you want. Feel free to reuse the post.
Good research, too bad it is missing many variable related to ecological decline. It's not just CO2, buddy. It's biodiversity loss, soil quality depletion, too much nitrogen and phosphorus, damaging fresh water bodies and garbage, oh, the garbage. Landfills aren't getting in smaller, are they? Too much waste is produced by a market-driven capitalist economic system. It's unhealthy. If you can't understand that, check the data on that. A whole host of scholars have done the research, from Jason Hickel to Timothee Parrique, Kate Raworth and many, many more.
A sustainable Canada isn't about saving the globe, it's about creating healthy place for people to live. It matters who controls the destiny of the communities. More localized direct democracy, worker co-operatives and mutual aid networks are needed in a growing bottom-up management of the land and our communities. But climate change isn't going away if we ignore it and say "well, Canada isn't the biggest problem."
Knowing the solutions is empowering, actually. It means we can create change at home, if we work together towards common goals, instead of fearing for our lives by a top-down corporate controlled world economic system still trying to keep capitalism alive.
Last i checked it was 1.3 percent. However that was three years ago and since then they have added a million last year to our population and god know what the previous two years were. So we took people from warm countries where you don't have to heat your homes and in many of our cities you require a car especially if your job requires odd hours like mine does with on call ect. It's known people in cold countries have higher co2 production. We require more imports food wise due to climate, our country is huge...more traveling distance. That is why this is so absurd that Trudeau and his ilk tell us they are the solution. It's a new political ideology....green religious zealots.
@@DoYouThinkForUrselF car dependant culture was pushed by the Big Oil and Gas industry, especially on North America. Canada is huge? So is China, yet they have a vast network of high speed rail and maglev trains.
I don't trust any politician as far as they can be thrown, certainly not neoLibs and Conservatives, but I read and research, and so can you. You don't have to be at the mercy of politicians to tell you what to think. Do your own research, do your own thinking and think better than they can so you don't fall for their tricks.
The most sustainable design is bottom-up community by community with the land and resources held in common, direct democracy guided by science determines how we proceed. But we don't have anything like that now. We need full sail system change. I don't think you are aware how unsustainable the status quo capitalist-driven economic system is. It's a cancerous disease and will not get better by ignoring it.
Holy crap i hadnt realized they threw that amendment in that bill. That is insane.
Always read the fine print. Have you read the fine print in the trade treaty that Freeland negotiated with the US and Mexico? Canada got hosed.
Land locked
@@Anonymous_Whisperwhat are pipelines for?
@@14goldmedals through the rest of Canada. Perhaps the stats
@@Anonymous_Whisper yup Alberta companies have already started plans to pipe south into USA then west to the coast. The Americans know it would create thousands of jobs for them.
Worked and lived in Cowtown years ago. Had to go back East, due family matters. Always dreamt to come back. An Albertan at heart. When my wife and I saw which direction Danielle Smith wanted Alberta to go, we moved over ... at 74. Two years ago .. Our only regret was we did not do it before.
Thank you so much for this interview. Danielle Smith makes me proud to be an Albertan. She is so smart and articulate. A phenomenal speaker and truly one of our best people.

Moving from ON to AB as a young professional in the 90s has proven to be the best decision of my life.
You are both just awesome people! Thank you for your integrity! Both of you!!
Totally Support this woman to save Alberta's resources!!!

So nice to see Danielle again. Great woman, great work. Go Alberta! Thx JDP. 🙏🏼✡️🇺🇸
Thank you for this sensible conversation ❤ Jordan & Danielle. Keep informing us
Thank you premier smith for representing us
