1
Speaking of Texas, Canada's Texas just had the referendum vote and the U .S.-backed separatists failed by an actual bonkers margin.
2
That's not surprising to me.
3
The Alberta separatist movement is and always has been a Russian -American PSYOP designed to stoke division within Canada.
4
It's not been a real thing.
5
With more than 1 .5 million votes counted, 76 % supported remaining in Canada, with close to 24 % back to beginning a process towards separate.
6
That's still a decent amount, man.
7
That's still a decent amount, but yeah, it wasn't going to, it was never going to pass.
8
Alberta, Alberta.
9
Eric Bay standing by with separatist leader, uh, Jeffrey Roth.
10
Me when I haven't been crying in the bathroom before my media appearance.
11
Yeah.
12
Thanks.
13
I think like, actually though, look at how fucking shiny his eyelids are.
14
Carolina Dallas.
15
We'll get right to it here.
16
Jeffrey Roth standing by with us.
17
Now we are just starting to get some of the results
18
and finally tonight what we're hearing is about 76 .4 oh wait never mind he's not
19
that's just the reporter i'm just i'm just
20
i'm i'm fishing in a bathroom sink right
21
now then on the remain side what are you making of these early results well
22
we don't know what to make of the early results i mean is this the mail -in ballot vote
23
that they counted wow they really are an american psyop huh first we don't know i mean you know
24
so as far as it goes we know at the end of the night there's going to be over six
25
or seven hundred thousand
26
say that again albertans
27
that have voted um you know for uh alberta to become
28
you know to have a vote for alberta to become an independent country um
29
you know we're absolutely absolutely no freaking way did the did
30
the alberta separatist movements leader just dropped the hottest me the most fire meme of the 2026 election season.
31
I'm sorry.
32
With the work that we've done and the fact that we've created a political movement that's going to go forward from here.
33
And of course, tomorrow, I think the big lesson
34
or the big takeaway is
35
that Alberta will never be independent as long as we have a Federalist leading the United Conservative Party of Alberta.
36
And moving forward from here, all of our hundreds of thousands of members
37
and volunteers are going to be committed to taking back ownership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta
38
and moving forward into the future.
39
Is that a direct attack on...
40
This is so embarrassing, man.
41
At least the Texas GOP doesn't actually waste the National Republican Party's time with separatist bullshit.
42
You know what I mean?
43
They don't actually...
44
It's not a real goal.
45
...Daniel Smith and her leadership?
46
Well, it's not an attack.
47
It's a statement of fact.
48
I mean, And the simple fact of the matter is, and I've been saying it for months,
49
that Alberta will never be independent as long as Danielle Smith is leading the United Conservative Party of Alberta.
50
She's an avowed federalist.
51
She's basically holding hands with Mark Carney.
52
He came into Alberta...
53
Avowed federalist, man.
54
What century are we in?
55
We can publicly humiliate her, actually, saying vote no to the nine.
56
We still don't know what the votes are going to be on her other questions.
57
So to the extent that, you know, Mark Carney, you know, damaged her, you know, her, you know, wishes to have for greater.
58
To be fair, the U .S already owns Alberta economically.
59
Couldn't couldn't you just let Alberta secede and then invade them and make them a protectorate?
60
Provincial autonomy through those questions.
61
You know, quite frankly, you know, there's nothing to do for us other than do what Albertans do, which is.
62
Why do they want independence?
63
The people running the Alberta independence movement are traitors to the nation of Canada.
64
They are actively in collaboration with American business
65
and politicians in an effort to secede so
66
that they can use their control over Alberta's gas
67
and oil to just make themselves like an open business partner of the United States.
68
They're basically trying to like break off a fraction of the Canadian state so they can sell it out to America.
69
They're traitors.
70
They've actively worked with foreign agents, unregistered foreign agents in an effort to break apart the Canadian state.
71
I think they should be arrested.
72
Like I genuinely, like I, like I, it's in my opinion, didn't Albertan mineral CEOs meet with the U S government, a backdoor meeting recently.
73
Yes.
74
Yeah.
75
Yeah, they did.
76
No, they're literally, they're literally traitors.
77
Like how, how, how would you feel if in your country, it turned out that a bunch of the politicians
78
that you elected secretly met with U .S businessmen
79
and tried to agree to a deal where they break away
80
from your country in order to sell out their assets to U .S business.
81
Roll up our sleeves and work harder.
82
You know, when have you ever seen, you know, the NDP or, you know, even the Conservative Party, for that matter, the Liberal Party,
83
when they pull, you know, 23 or 24 percent in the polls say, oh, I guess that's it.
84
We're going to fold up our party now
85
and we're going to go home you know we have you know hundreds of thousands of Albertans
86
that can do the math they understand
87
that this year we're going to be sending over 90 billion dollars a year to Ottawa
88
and we're going to be getting less than 20 billion dollars of
89
that back you know we're sick and tired of being regulated by Ottawa we're sick and tired of
90
you know of the way
91
that we're being treated by Ottawa
92
I mean even the arrogance of Mark Carney coming to Alberta last week on his first day here saying oh
93
I don't even have to talk about equalization until 2029.
94
I don't care about the 61 % of Albertans that voted, you know, for an end to equalization, you know, screw all of y 'all.
95
I'm not going to talk to you until 2029.
96
That's the arrogance that Albertans are fed up with.
97
Our movement isn't going anywhere.
98
And if we, I actually do appreciate the fact that rather than being like smug and smarmy,
99
like a grifter, he actually does seem upset over this.
100
You know what I mean?
101
If I learned anything through this process is
102
that it's really hard to do anything as long as you have somebody leading the province.
103
This guy owes millions to U .S investors and First Nation groups he defrauded as a lawyer.
104
I guess that explains why he wants to make a quick buck selling Alberta off to Americans, huh?
105
He is willing to spend, you know, literally, everyone I'm hearing now, almost $9 million advertising against us, campaigning against us, bringing the entire weight of,
106
you know, the entire Canadian political establishment, you know, down on, you know, on Alberta with all the fake stories about,
107
you know, water being sold to the United States.
108
All this, all these, you know, all the fake news and all the lies that have been told, you know, in the last couple of weeks.
109
You know, the fact that, you know, we're sitting where we're sitting right now, I think is very encouraging.
110
And it shows us that, you know, again, as Albertans, what do we do?
111
We roll up our sleeves and we work harder because that's who we are as people.
112
So on that point, obviously, we don't have full official results yet.
113
But what do those next steps look like when you do roll up your sleeves here?
114
And what's the next step?
115
Well, I think the biggest thing for us is we're seeing this in Latin America as well, where companies like
116
Meta, American companies like
117
Meta are openly interfering in the Brazilian election.
118
Likewise, I believe it was Meta.
119
Meta also took down the account of the organizer for the No Kings rally.
120
Meta took down was it
121
Meta or was it TikTok?
122
One of them took down the, there was another like prominent, oh, it was the distributor for the Elon Musk documentary.
123
You know, in a world where corporations act so indiscreetly to subvert election results,
124
I really think nations have to start cracking down on this.
125
And I know that any modern liberal democracy
126
that attempts to crack down on the influence of capital on elections would end up doing
127
so in a way that gets you thrown into Gitmo if you criticize Israel.
128
But like something has to be done.
129
Remember what happened in was it is it Romania
130
that I'm thinking about where they had like an out of
131
nowhere dark horse pro Russian political candidate who just like emerged from the ether
132
and very nearly won
133
but then it turned out all of his support was from fucking like like Russian bot farms
134
and then they ended up canceling his victory because it was all completely fake like the votes were real
135
they had to redo the damn election I don't get why capitals targeted Alberta compared to other Canadian provinces
136
because it's a it's a it's a it would be like
137
a petro state an independent Alberta would be a culturally void petro state essentially it'd be like
138
Russia just to focus on you know what we've been saying we're going to be focusing on
139
and that's that we want to have a special general meeting to discuss whether
140
or not danielle smith still has the confidence of the united conservative party of alberta to continue as a leader
141
you know she spent taxpayer dollars to campaign against us she's been manipulating the base of the party
142
you know for years
143
you know has been prohibiting any discussion of independence at ucp annual general meetings um you know on and on and on. So,
144
you know, it's time to have a serious discussion as to whether
145
or not a super majority of the United Conservative Party of
146
Alberta want to continue to be led by a federalist who's in bed with Nahid Nanshi, Mark Carney, Rachel Notley, and the rest of the socialists
147
and globalists that have literally been ruining this province and ruining this country.
148
Just real quick before we wrap up here, do you feel there's the support to achieve that?
149
The incredible irony of calling anyone globalist when your entire movement is about selling out the foreign capital, but that's that's every far right that's every
150
it's every single time every single one um
151
it's always about selling out the foreign capital
152
it's the only thing fascists care about of course
153
there is i mean look at the you know the core base at the end of the evening tonight
154
there's going to be over 600 000 albertans
155
that have voted in favor of independence like they're not going home
156
they're not changing their you know their minds
157
they're not changing their votes all of a sudden mathematics aren't going to change
158
and all you know and uh you know people can't figure out
159
that if we keep all of the money
160
that we currently send to Ottawa in Alberta for the benefit of people in Alberta
161
that our lives won't be substantially better in this province without idiots in Ottawa, you know, continuing to destroy the economy of this province.
162
We don't want a prime minister in Ottawa asserting a veto over export pipeline construction like
163
Mark Carney has been doing.
164
Preconditions now.
165
According to the New York Times, the person he's criticizing got power by promising to secede and changed her mind when she won.
166
Lamao.
167
It's I'm telling you, man, neo -fascism doesn't work.
168
It's grifters all the way down.
169
That's fucking funny, dog.
170
Good for him.
171
Good for him.
172
Welcome back.
173
Elections Alberta is confirming for us that all polls in the province are now closed.
174
So we're getting our first look at results.
175
You're seeing them as I'm seeing.
176
Nah, it looks great.
177
These are results for question 10.
178
Remain in Canada or hold a separation referendum?
179
So far, the raw numbers for Remain in Canada, just over 618 ,000.
180
And to go further and hold a referendum.
181
Okay, so it wasn't even 75 -25 at the end of the day then.
182
It was 80 -20.
183
Okay, that's pretty bad for them.
184
Yeah, it wasn't even to secede.
185
It was just to have the referendum to begin with.
186
Referendum sitting just under 20%.
187
This is an 80 -20.
188
Still too high though.
189
Keep in mind, this is an 80 -20 result to even have.
190
Oh, this is out of date.
191
Okay, this is the out of date.
192
So it did end up being 25 -75.
193
The 25 -75 result to even have the referendum was after, and I'm being serious here, a literal state -led PSYOP.
194
Like the American government participated in this.
195
Canadian politicians and business leaders were meeting with the Trump administration over trying to set up preemptive business deals in Alberta.
196
So in my opinion, being on the ass end of a US -led PSYOP and still coming out 75 over 25, that's pretty okay.
197
...split.
198
These are early results.
199
These are the first results that have dropped in, and these are more than likely the results that have come from,
200
more than likely the results that have come from advance voting and also from the mail -in ballots because...
201
More like J .D.
202
Vance voting.
203
Got him.
204
A Globe and Mail investigation found
205
that political operatives tied to the American Republican Party were assisting the campaign for Alberta to secede.
206
The investigation also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington, D .C to met with reps of the U .S.
207
State Department, they were offered access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil.
208
A few days later, Mitch Sylvester, chief executive office of the Alberta Prosperity Project,
209
told the Mail the Office of Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner Anton Bogman contacted him and his group.
210
The premier of BC called the invitation of foreign interference treason.
211
If only they'd actually get arrested.
212
80 % of suspected foreign influence activity has been linked to Russian sources and 20 % U .S.
213
sources initially.
214
Jesus.
215
The report points out Russian content is covert and can be traced to a pro -Kremlin content farm known as Pravda Network.
216
Meanwhile, U .S activity is more overt, with prominent American influencers, podcasts, and websites promoting Alberta's separation on a variety of platforms.
217
Video of Besant openly backing it.
218
In the U .S., more than our northern neighbor.
219
That's even with all the oil and the natural resources coming out of Canada.
220
Texas is still larger.
221
Well, look, Alberta is a wealth of natural resources, but they won't let them build a pipeline to the Pacific.
222
I think we should let them come down into the U .S., and Alberta is a natural partner for the U .S.
223
They have great resources.
224
The Albertans are very independent people.
225
Rumors that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada
226
or not sounds like you may know something up
227
there uh what uh
228
you know people are saying people people remember um activity from the kremlin was covert activity from america was more overt
229
people are talking scott besant being like uh uh i wasn't supposed to tell you
230
but wink we might be getting some deals up
231
there talking people are talking people want uh sovereignty they they want what the U .S has got.
232
Because when I look at Europe, how can they have sovereignty?
233
They don't have immigration sovereignty.
234
They've let their borders be overrun.
235
They don't have economic sovereignty.
236
They are dependent on China and they do not have a security sovereignty.
237
How the fuck did this happen to my country?
238
Because Canada, along with America and basically every other country on earth, with the possible exception of North Korea, is completely beholden to its creditors.
239
National allegiance does not exist for the wealthy.
240
They simply don't have it.
241
Capital is completely international.
242
So even China?
243
Yes, to a large extent to China as well, though less so than Canada.
244
So Canada won't go after these obvious traitors because to do
245
so would begin unwinding a snag in the fabric of modern geopolitics.
246
What are you going to do?
247
Alberta
248
separatism flops hard it's true it's true everyone from Alberta who isn't from Edmonton is a godless savage I believe
249
that yeah for sure I believe that I'd be willing to believe that
250
everyone from northern Texas you know fucking animals
251
again the problem is the federal government is also used to compromising with Quebec separatists
252
but they were operating in good faith is the difference I think that might be an element remember like
253
Mark Carney's a banker and bankers prioritize the interests of their creditors above everyone else.
254
They won't go after the separatists because they won't go after capital.
255
You know, that's the that's the pattern.
256
The Alberta government spent millions to propagandize to other questions to be anti -immigrant.
257
What do you mean to other questions?
258
Hold on.
259
On October 19th, 2026, a provincial referendum will be held in which the Okay, this is from your Alberta.
260
This is from the government of Alberta.
261
This is a government video from a Canadian province.
262
I'm sat.
263
My ass is seated.
264
My white ass currently planted in the seat.
265
Thank you.
266
Alberta is putting forward nine questions for Albertans to vote on.
267
These issues were identified during the Alberta Next Panel town halls, a process built on extensive consultations with Albertans,
268
subject matter experts, and policymakers from every corner of the province.
269
Quebec separatism was an actual movement.
270
Listen, I think Quebec separatism is also fucking retarded.
271
The difference is that Quebec separatism was largely driven by a genuine cultural distinction and also by genuine heartfelt French sauvanism,
272
which is very, very different from in Alberta, like five oil barons are trying to sell out the state to American capital.
273
But that is different.
274
In my opinion, I am much more forgiving of retardation that is born out of genuine cultural or ethnic grievance,
275
like a real thing that's just a product of the difficulties involved in integrating nations
276
that have different origins and backgrounds and stuff, rather than just like five billionaires wanting to rape more.
277
I think like I, in my opinion, it's just like, I miss those days.
278
I miss the days when you had more and more political issues that basically came down to people are retarded and prideful.
279
I wish, I wish it was more often like that, man.
280
These nine referendum questions get to the heart of some of the biggest challenges we face
281
and what kind of province we want to hand our next generation, how we grow, how we protect families and the services they depend on
282
and how we strengthen our place within a united canada five
283
of those nine questions involve provincial immigration policy here's why
284
that matters alberta has always welcomed newcomers to our province to participate in
285
and grow the economy i don't know how this works by the way
286
i don't know to what extent can a province even determine
287
its own immigration policy in america the states have no control
288
whatsoever over it they have no absolutely not it's entirely federal historically policies support
289
They have none.
290
Okay.
291
Supporting sustainable immigration levels worked well under the leadership of prime ministers like Stephen Harper, Jean Chrétien, and others.
292
But Justin Trudeau changed all that when he abandoned those common sense policies
293
and brought millions of temporary residents into our country in just a few years.
294
Good to see the American government isn't the only one that's been inappropriately injecting political bias into their public messaging.
295
Over the past five years, our province has added an estimated 600 ,000 people, many of them temporary residents.
296
Isn't it like all students too?
297
The whole like Canadian immigration boom was mostly off student visas, wasn't it?
298
These are like the best people you want in your country because they're disproportionately wealthy and educated.
299
That is roughly half the size of the cities of Calgary or Edmonton.
300
And taxpayers are picking up the bill for the tremendous pressure that kind of unsustainable population growth brings with it.
301
For example, the cost to provide health care to temporary residents is about $400 million per year.
302
Also, I mean, what do they pay in taxes?
303
Also, I'm pretty sure that like the population density of Alberta is comparable to the Gobi Desert.
304
So I like it's just like a made up issue.
305
And the cost to provide social services like the child care subsidy,
306
Alberta Child and Family Benefit and student aid are estimated to cost more than $100 million.
307
What are they paying taxes?
308
Then there are also rough...
309
Do you think states should have the ability to set their immigration?
310
No. I barely think countries should be able to set their immigration policy, man.
311
Countries just keep fucking it up.
312
45 ,000 children of temporary residents in Alberta's classrooms, costing another $600 million annually.
313
That means the annual cost to provide provincial programs to temporary residents is well over $1 billion.
314
What do they pay in taxes?
315
When you also consider the need to build more schools and other infrastructure.
316
If states can't decide immigration, how do sanctuary cities exist?
317
Totally different thing.
318
A sanctuary city means that the mayor has instructed the police department or the police department is not just instructed,
319
but legally the police department will not cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration activities like immigration enforcement.
320
It has nothing to do with the superseding of state law over federal law.
321
It's just the police won't cooperate, which they're not legally obligated to.
322
generally speaking unless like the chain of command is followed
323
there's no legal reason why a local city police officer has to follow along with
324
and assist a federal agent in their investigation
325
they can just tell them to piss off to support
326
this amount of growth in temporary residents meanwhile our province's youth
327
unemployment rate in 2025 was 15 .6 percent young albertans looking
328
for their first job are competing in a market where tens
329
of thousands of entry -level positions have been filled by temporary workers who yeah
330
this looks like also the frame rate of this video is like 20
331
so i don't trust these people's uh you know immigration prescriptions anyway aren't here long term
332
and there are other challenges caused by this massive growth in temporary residents especially as it relates to the cost
333
and availability of housing for purchase
334
and rent alberta has always welcomed sustainable levels of immigration to grow our economy and we always will.
335
Newcomers coming to our province to help grow our economy and eventually become permanent residents and Canadian citizens have been...
336
Migration helped Canada become the most educated country in the world.
337
It is genuinely crazy to see the, like, especially now that I'm in Europe, because Europe has received a lot of,
338
we'll call them unproductive migrants and refugees as a consequence of Western meddling in the Middle East, Syrian refugee crisis, ISIS, et cetera, et cetera.
339
And like, as we saw, I mean, we talked about this a lot more back in 2021 and stuff.
340
It didn't even make a blip on the crime rate.
341
Germany took in like a fucking squib tilly in Syrians and it didn't even increase the crime rate, you know, but in America and Canada,
342
largely the majority of the immigrants they get, like it's like non illegal immigrants, like legal immigrants are quite wealthy and quite well -educated.
343
So to see the new world bitching about their immigration crop when Europe has barely been, well, affected in a crime sense.
344
You know, there's obviously like a larger cultural.
345
I do see the legacy of the Syrian refugee crisis and the cultural differences here in the Netherlands a lot.
346
Apparently, the Netherlands also just added new restrictions to migrants.
347
I need to read up on that.
348
I need to, it's the midterms are coming up, man.
349
I'm trying to learn more about the country I live in now.
350
In a critical part of our success throughout our history.
351
But there has to be a balance.
352
What we need is more oversight to ensure that our immigration levels and policies are working for Albertans.
353
Yeah, fuck off.
354
Anyway, they lost.
355
Are you already a citizen?
356
No. No. That is not how that works.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 92 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, I'm, we're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, ethnic /ˈɛθ.nɪk/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: immigration /ˌɪmɪˈɡɹeɪʃən/, provincial /pɹəˈvɪn(t)ʃəl/, separation /ˌsɛp.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, establishment /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ.mənt/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: immigration /ˌɪmɪˈɡɹeɪʃən/, referendum /ˌɹɛfəˈɹɛndəm/, temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, sovereignty /ˈsɑv(ə)ɹənti/, participate /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: nowhere /ˈnoʊ.(h)wɛɹ/, historically /hɪˈstɔɹɪkli/, whatsoever /ˌ(h)wʌtsoʊˈɛvɚ/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: province /ˈpɹɔv.ɪns/, immigrant /ˈɪmɪɡɹənt/, extent /ɪkˈstɛnt/, sleeve /sliv/, educate /ˈɛd͡ʒ.əˌkeɪt/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: crack /kɹæk/, actively /ˈæktɪvli/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, ballot /ˈbælət/, sanctuary /ˈsæŋkt͡ʃuˌɛɹi/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
