Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Premier Danielle Smith discuss the election front in Alberta, the danger of intermittent power as winter arrives, the true utility of oil, and why the press needs to hold themselves to a higher standard again. Danielle Smith is a Canadian columnist, talk radio personality, talk show host, and politician, originally from Calgary. There she attended the University of Calgary, earning her bachelor's degree in English and economics. At this time, Smith became active in federal and provincial conservatism, and became the president of the campus PC Club. She also ran successfully for board of trustees, and held the position for a year. After college, Smith became a columnist for the Calgary Herald. She would go on to succeed Charles Adler as host of the national current affair talk show, Global Sunday, as well as hosting two radio shows focused on health policy and property rights. In 2008, Smith left the PC party, to much scrutiny, and joined the Wildrose Alliance. In the course of a year, across multiple elections, she had seen the party support base quadruple. In 2014, Smith once again joined the Provincial Conservative party, citing new leadership had been able to find common ground, with specific attention on economic standpoints. Due to this controversy, she was unable to win her next election, and opted instead to host the radio talk show CHQR, which she would later leave, along with Twitter, in response to egregious internet trolling. In May 2022, it was announced Smith would run for leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta, after the resignation of Jason Kenney. On October 6th, with 53 percent of the vote, she was sworn in as Premier. —Links— For Premier Danielle Smith: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DanielleSmithAB/ LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/abdaniellesmith Info Page: https://www.alberta.ca/premier.aspx Donate: https://daniellesmith.ca/ - Sponsors - Helix Sleep: Get up to $200 OFF + 2 FREE pillows with all mattress orders: https://helixsleep.com/JORDAN Hallow: Try Hallow for 3 months FREE: https://hallow.com/jordan Shopify: Sign up for a free trial: https://shopify.com/jbp CarZing: Get pre-qualified and find the best deals near you: https://carzing.com/jordan — Chapters — (0:00) Coming Up (1:30) Intro (3:16) Confederation of Canada (7:26) The energy sector in Alberta, canceled futures (11:20) Alberta forced to supplement eastern Canada’s economy (16:30) Pushing back federally for regional success (18:39) Simplifying the process, including the First Nations (20:46) Breaking the ice, the coalition of the willing (23:20) Fracking vs utopian moralizing (26:03) Climate extremism is a waste of glue (28:00) Greta Thunberg and the pseudo-green wave (31:40) The worlds’ poor are facing a dangerous winter (36:20) The true utility of oil, why we will never “phase it out” (38:54) A more profound narrative (41:24) We will NEVER get to one hundred percent renewable resources (43:11) Fascism running rampant veiled as crony capitalism (45:05) Small grid nuclear power (47:30) On the election front, Alberta (50:45) Energy costs drive everything, Jagmeet Singh (55:00) The NDP, cannibalizing their own support (59:45) The values of conservative Alberta (1:02:09) The problem with identity, cultural battleground or distraction?

0:00.0	Hello everyone watching and listening on YouTube and on the associated podcast.
0:19.8	I'm very honored today to have the new Premier of Alberta speaking with me, Danielle Smith,
0:26.5	who's quite a firebrand from the West. Alberta, that's Canada's version of Texas, I suppose,
0:32.0	and it's the province in Canada that's blessed or cursed, depending on how you look at it,
0:36.6	with I think the fourth largest fossil fuel reserves in the world, which that province struggles
0:43.0	continually to get to market for reasons of idiocy that we're going to discuss in some detail
0:48.6	in this podcast, Premier Smith is newly occupies the premiership role in Alberta and is starting
0:58.8	to put her government in order and to do this battle, I would say, with the liberals in Ottawa,
1:06.4	and that's partly what we're going to start talking about today, about the relationship
1:11.2	between Alberta and the federal government. Historically and current, welcome to the conversation
1:18.1	Premier Smith, it's very good to have you here. Well, Professor Petersen, it's a delight
1:22.2	to talk to you. Thanks for having me on today. So let's talk about Trudeau and the Liberals,
1:26.6	and what you have to offer Alberta and as an alternative, and Canadians for that matter,
1:31.9	I know the Conservatives in Quebec are pretty interested in Alberta's push for increased
1:36.4	provincial sovereignty. So it's not as if you'd only be speaking for Alberta when you talk
1:42.2	about a more distributed balance of powers in this country, benign country of ours. I wonder
1:48.6	if people know how our country has been established compared to others because as a confederation,
1:54.9	there's a great deal of powers that have been given to the provincial order or subnational
2:00.0	level of government. Not all governments are structured that way, and I think it creates
2:04.3	a little bit of confusion about why we have these battles in Canada. I think because we
2:09.2	have an international audience, I think walking through that would be very useful for people
2:13.3	as a beginning of the conversation. Well, I might go back to an academic journal because
