Beautifully articulated! As a US American I would much rather see Canada use this as an opportunity to wake up from the woke fantasy and begin to function in the best interests of its citizens.
We did, under Harper era and then woke plague just swooped in and took over. Canada was first, USA was second but least you got rid of it very quickly.
it's either USA takes us or China does. The govrrnment has way too much propaganda indoctrination power. theconly hope might be escape. notwithstanding clause and demographic change insure we never get canada back. its a dead concept being worn like a skin suit
Agreed. While it's fanciful to notion oneself as "the best version of everyone else" (i.e. 'Canada should become the 51st state), that's hardly productive and generally untrue. It just reeks of ego. It shows a great deal of humility on Peterson's front to not get defensive to the point of hostility at what Trump is saying, and instead use it to introspect.
@@cowboyssawmillandwoodlot6343 Quebeqer here. You are absolutely wrong. It's a known fact that Quebec bashing is a canadian national sport. We are not the enemy you think. In both referendums we held, the plan was to keep the Canadian currency and to strengthen our trade with you. A strong Quebec in a strong Canada was the motto.
I just responded to another TH-cam channel the other day who kept saying (of Canada): "we're stronger together".. and the hosts of that channel live in Ontario. My response was "I'm not so sure that's true for the West... and I'm pretty sure it's not true for Alberta". Then I called into the radio here in Vancouver on the same topic today and described our "federation" as "the east's boot on top of Alberta's neck while they go through her pockets taking everything of value". Dr. Peterson and I seem to agree on this matter - but no one cares what I have to say. So thank you @JordanBPeterson for saying it! Such will be the challenge for heir-apparent P.M. Poilievre - to implement with "Trumpian Rapidity" a plan to revitalize the Canadian Federation... because as Dr. Peterson points out... Alberta certainly, and much of the West could gain much by separating. Maybe that's Trump's plan all along - to entice Canada's West to become "the 51st State" and leave the high-maintenance, left-leaning-and-voting east, to their own fate.
First I have to say, I do care what you have to say. I'm a Canadian Vet, born in B.C. Raised in the NWT and living in Alb. so as someone that has been around the block I can say that all of western Canada has been manipulated to fighting among ourselves. We would be far better off if we left and stood on our own 2 feet, math does not lie and anyone that does not believe this isn't good at math, at all. I don't care what western Province your living in, stand up and be proud of who you are.
As an American, I'm not so sure we'd want all of Canada as part of the US, but we would be delighted for Albertans to join us and to extend to them American rights, freedoms, and friendship that their current woke authoritarian overloads would never be able to offer.
If this offer that the good Doctor is offered in sincerity and an addition of a few $100,000 per person, along with a pressing of DC to relinquish the CPP funds Albertans have submitted to Ottawa, you'd be surprised at the out come
Albertan here, I’m fed up with Quebec, British Columbia, and Ottawa screwing us over on getting our energy to markets etc. If they don’t step up and support us I support Alberta independence or becoming 51st state.
After ten years of liberal mismanagement the idea to become the 51st state looks pretty appealing especially for young people who don't have any opportunities in Canada
BC here I agree fed up with Alberta not supporting us here, i think if your interested to be a Yank go then but don't jeopardize the rest of Canada. Have fun with living under the biggest bully and having to pay thousands of greenbacks when you need hospitalization, thats just the start of it shall i go on.
I am sick to death of Alberta's selfishness... you had years to diversify energy sources. Instead you're whining like a grown up child still living off his parents.
As an American, I adore Danielle Smith 😂 I want to adopt her. She is the only politician up north that actually listened, and took Trump seriously. I gained so much respect for her. And as I learned about Ottawa sabotage of Alberta I felt a real respect. Albertans seem like they'd fit in the US Midwest so well. Best wishes.
I have lived and worked all across our beautiful and once great nation my whole life. It has sadly degraded, coast to coast, We are Broken, we are hurt, we need strong policy and time to heal our national pride and wellbeing, we stand on guard for thee. Never forget who did this to us, as our hearts bleed together, for the night is always the darkest, before the mornings change. 🍁
Albertan here. When asked what I think about the whole notion of becoming the 51st state, it's been asked as a joke, but I've found I can get people to seriously think about it by saying: "You mean I could say whatever I want without fear of legal reprisals, and anyone who takes issue with something I say I also have the legal protections to adequately defend myself and the people I love? That sounds like a damn good deal to me." Everything else is a mute point. Healthcare, diversity, none of that matters. Do you have the right to express yourself in whichever way you see fit? and do you have the right to defend yourself and the people you love? Neither are guarantees in Canada, our charter is routinely thrown out the window all in the language of "reasonable limitations." What can Canada offer it's citizens on the base level which makes it more compelling than America which offers REAL guarantees?
In Ontario you have Doug Ford prancing around with a baseball hat saying “Canada is not for sale”. I don’t recall Trump offering any money for it. He just wants to “takeover” us with economic pressures. In the few weeks Trump has been in “power” he has managed to piss off more countries and people than any recent leader. The US will stand alone against the world when the dust settles.
Plenty. The US is a litigatious place for one. They will sick the FBI on you for an opinion or words if the political climate warrants it. One week or or one operation in an American hospital can bankrupt you. We in Canada can make our health system better. Canadians have just not paid attention. And we can move toward change in our Federal political system. We now know we need that change, and we know where it is most needed. Let's wake up. Represent has become Rule. The division of powers has been allowed to fall by the wayside.
Also: you can defend yourself and your family with a gun; you can buy food and everything else for a fraction of the cost; your energy and gasoline prices would be a fraction of what they are; your real estate prices would fall to a level where your kids can afford to get married and have families of their own, etc, etc, etc, etc.....
I'm deeply disappointed by the current state of affairs in Canada. As a proud, West Coast-born and raised Canadian, I cherish my childhood memories of national pride. While that pride remains, recent political decisions and the current climate have significantly eroded my optimism. Living in British Columbia, arguably the most beautiful province in the country, has become disheartening. We face a growing crisis: the prevalence of fentanyl addiction, skyrocketing crime rates, and foreign investment driving up housing costs to exorbitant levels. At 31 years old, I earn $43 an hour, yet I'm still forced to live with my father because I can't afford a home or even reasonable rent. It feels like a cruel joke. I long for the days when Canada was a global leader, or at least a close second. I recently saw a video of a protest downtown, where someone proposed a "super drugstore" offering access to hard drugs like cocaine, fentanyl, and ketamine. The idea is appalling. Is this really where my tax dollars should be going? Furthermore, the concept of publicly funded gender-affirming care, particularly for children, raises serious ethical questions. How can we, as a society, allow such procedures? It's disturbing to see Canadians seemingly indifferent to these issues, yet quick to criticize the United States for considering tariffs. While I'm not personally in favor of tariffs, and I certainly don't want Canada to become a U.S. state, I feel lost and powerless. What can we possibly do to reverse this decline
@@Starkid4590 No need to worry about Canada becoming a State. The US will only want the good parts that produce positively. So, BC, Albert, Sask, and maybe Manitoba. Maybe NWT as well so they have more landmass bordering the artic Seaways.
I agree with most of your sentiments, but sadly, I think we are too far gone. The canada you love is gone. Annexing canada would be a gift, and it would reinstate what you love under a new name. Im 33 years old, and I've watched my husband struggle to provide for us. We own our own profitable business, but we are so close to losing everything from all the high costs and taxes. The deck is stacked against us. Best wishes to you.
I’m born and raised in Vancouver. I feel your pain, working hard and doing the right thing and still can’t get ahead. I honestly think a Conservative government is our last and only hope.
I live near Vancouver for decades. I do not earn as high and a few decades older. I thought I’d be retired by now but I cannot. I don’t earn as much as you but I have used s&p500 stocks to help me fight inflation. I was an immigrant, helped myself and my elderly parents, put myself through school etc… I paid my dues so I am the “good immigrant”. I am hopefull this is still possible Even though others hate immigrants, I saw in my city of Vancouver, local mom/pop groceries and restaurants open up which bring prices down and some take care of their grandkids while the parents work elsewhere. The small business has boomed. Ultimately, we can just control ourselves and see opportunities. Ownership is overrated; I hate my strata fees and wish the government has a tax break on it but they are too busy arguing about small petty things. The governments have to align and be less arrogant and ignorant (ie learn less from the Americans). Our government officials are sadly naive and young. When I was younger and a new immigrant, I thought our officials were out of touch and will be eaten alive by A sian counterparts. Fast forward now, they are being eaten alive by the Americans
@@saskrugbydad2227 complacency is the downfall of humanity. Canada is not fine currently and needs to start improving before we collapse economically and culturally.
Albertan here. Screw the virtue signalling "Team Canada" Danielle Smith is the only politician in Canada with the balls to stand up and be an adult in diplomacy.
Ottawa is by far a bigger threat to Albertans than President Trump. Between the interprovincial tariffs and Alberta being responsible for flipping the bill for the entire country, brings us here seeking a fair deal. Make Alberta great again
Not even 1/4 the country, and not footing the entire bill. We have essentially the same thing in the NHL, the well-off teams kick-in to help the poorer franchises. Alberta helps provinces that struggle, it's not meant to be forever, and Alberta would receive the same should they find themselves needing it.
@@tiffaniterris5189 That's complete BS! Alberta needs it now and they ain't getting it. Although I do agree with you that Quebec and BC are struggling.
@@tiffaniterris5189this has been going on for decades while at the same time our industry has been crippled by federal policy and ungrateful Provinces. The other provinces aren't having a hard time because of bad luck, it is the decisions they are making and they are dragging us down with them.
They limited Alberta's energy production and sales while still asking for the same amount of money for equalization payments. Then fought tooth and nail to keep the same payment structure.
As a Maritimer, we’ve been fooled and brainwashed by Upper Canada for a long time. We’ve had our fisheries destroyed by Ottawa, been treated like hillbillies, had Energy East developments taken from us. We’ve tolerated it, because we could buy cheap houses and live cheaply in a beautiful setting. Well that’s disappearing so fast it’s hard overstate. I live in the riding of Conservative MP Rick Perkins.
The rest of Canada is too busy bashing Alberta to realize that Trudea and Singh are the worst thing to ever happen to this country. Daniel Smith is by far the best leader the country has right now, and it's not even a close comparison. BC Resident here.
I'm a BC resident now and prior Ontario resident and I've never heard anyone ever bash Alberta. On the contrary, we've always thought Alberta was treated poorly.
quebec is the ONLY privince that bashes alberta but nonody knows alberta supports them They think equalization oayment is when they get money they over paid back. canada is a disinfo state. people arent as crazy... they just believe crazy things our government pushes
@@barbmills8609 Was just going to say the same....Alberta resident , but have lived in every province except Newfoundland and none of the Territories. Alberta is respected, even if certain Alberta politicians aren't - but that's kind of normal.
I’m from Ontario, I’ve never heard anyone bash Alberta. People from Ontario move to Alberta all the time; Alberta is considered a good economic opportunity. But I definitely hear people constantly bash people from Ontario.
I hear Alberta bash other provinces, and entire regions, all the time. "Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark" was a popular Alberta phrase for a time. The Eastern response? Paid for their pipeline. Sent fire crews and immense resources when the province was burning. Sent endless trains of feed when Alberta cattle were starving as a result of drought. Sent money, equipment and personnel when the Bow River flooded downtown Calgary. Even the legendary Toronto band Rush played a benefit in Red Deer.
Thank-you Dr Peterson for your superb eye-opening dissertation. Many Canadians are awake to the true picture you are word painting. We are the recently enervated, supporting the Conservative return to commonsense, historically proven national governance.
A British Colombian here… I never understood why Albertans put up with the rest of Canada. The succession rules have already been laid by Quebec. Pull your bootstraps up and get on with it!
@@darcysuurhoff7028 "BC" People understand patriotism quite well. A Vancouver Island Regiment (Canadian Scottish Regiment - Princess Mary's) was the point of the spear at Juno Beach. They were the Canadians that got farther inland on D-day than any other Allied force. BC is Canadian, Strong and Proud. And we haven't gone conservative - we're still NDP. And Eby is fighting back hard on Trump's tariffs. Alberta has a traitor for a Premier.
@@darcysuurhoff7028 But so many people no longer feel patriotic. I don't. I didn't get the Covid science experiment. My Charter rights were violated repeatedly and I nearly lost everything. My poverty-stricken Irish ancestors are now called 'colonizers'. I am forced to live among millions of foreign nationals that I don't want here. We never voted for this. So what is there to feel patriotic about? I feel pushed out, actually and can barely afford to live, despite being well-educated and employed. Canada is hostile towards me, and increasingly, I return the sentiment. There is no future here for me. I'd be delighted to be American. And as much as people hate reality, the truth is that we are very similar to them. No country would be as easy to assimilate to as the USA. Canada sucks now. Maybe not for YOU personally, but for many of us.
@darcysuurhoff7028 Trudeau treating Alberta as good as he treats Quebec, would be patriotism. Trying to financially destroy Alberta, and essentially the Country, would be referred to as Treason, not patriotism!!
@@darcysuurhoff7028Rest of Canada? I hope you're including BC in the "rest of Canada!" After all, BC seems to be perpetually in love with leftists and socialists. BC had a chance to turf the NDP Socialist hords but they failed miserably.
Im so fucking tired here in Quebec! You guys have no idea how fucked this province are! Me and my family need to leave this socialism mess before it is too late! Im with you, Alberta! Hope you the best!
@@shield2957 Most Quebeckers worth their salt speak both english and french. And are also tired of socialism. I met people from all provinces when I went to Ottawa trucker protest. I felt Canadian at that point but it was as if we were the last ones fighting for that dying idea. Now, I just wish we were all American, the rampant socialism is unbearable.
It surprises me that so many Canadians are supportive of this drivel. I get it, Canada in a lot of ways really sucks (especially at the moment) it's an expensive nanny state, that's squandering it's abundance of natural resources and has a deeply unpopular leader that needs to go. Even ignoring the fact that we are about to have an Albertan Conservative Prime Minister,, Canada already is an amazing country and in many ways better than the US. There is a reason that Canada ranks higher in life satisfaction. One of the causes of unhappiness in the US is the fact that it is so deeply divided. JP is seeking to sow that division in Canada (while ironically residing in America) he's also blatantly looking to profit off this division (which is evident because he has enabled the "thanks" button above while already being a multi-millionaire). I liked him better on the benzo's, he was way more relaxed, now he just comes across as an uptight angry American (sorry I know that's offensive please don't tariff us).
Thank you Dr peterson. Well said! As an Albertan. I would agree we would be treated better as part of the US. We get such a crappy deal here in Canada. I think the rest of Canada is going to learn in a hurry they need Alberta more than we need them. Bring on the negotiations. Go Danielle Smith!
you can have the same deal the separatists get. YOU can leave but the land stays! It belongs to all the people, not just the ones who want to be comfy and well treated by the invading forces. Collaborate from down there if you think he'd be better for you. Brutal honesty? Jan 6 was their "Maganaucht", then they came for the immigrants (was supposed to be the wicked criminals, but is now expanded to Birthright citizens) ... then the old the infirm and the children (getting rid of Medicaid and all federal funding grants feeding/helping them), blamed DEI for crashing planes (soon non-white people won't be able to hold anything but menial jobs.. can't fly planes so next they'll take away your driver's licence's), FBI and law officials are being punished for upholding the law and being fired in droves (any one who worked on the legal prosecution of Jan 6'ers), he's declared a freeze on media information unless it passes through his censorship first, he's handed over ALL of your data to his friends who will now be able to use it against you, has decided to start conflicts with every ally you HAD (news flash we're not friends anymore!), has established Concentration Camp Gitmo.... So lemme warn you.. if "Titler" & CO start talking about establishing "hospitals and facilities" for the handicapped and the orphaned children watch for large chimneys....
I wish the rest of canada wanted to join... do they? in ontario we might end up as china... that’s why trump would have to take all canada. we'd be a china US proxy war site
I find it telling that no polling company dares to put forward an opinion poll to Alberta about Alberta seperatation right now, as this opportunity so obviously looms over Canada. As Danielle Smith has said, there won't be just an economic crisis, but a unity crisis if the Federal government continues with its antics.
I seen one...can't recall who posted it but Alberta ranked higher for separation than Quebec. I don't want to actually say the numbers as I can't give the source.
Any such movement towards AB separation must wait for a federal Conservative majority. Additionally we are waiting for the inevitable economic chaos resulting from an overdue national recession. At that time support for separation will be at a maximum, and likely successful. They are waiting for the stars to align and then we will get our referendum.
@thomash1894 You are completely correct, this will not be done until we see what the CPC has in-store for Alberta. I keep seeing Alberta inch closer and closer towards this result, with sentiment in Alberta following as well. If there is not a fundamental change in how Alberta is treated in this Federation, we will eventually get there, but we still have a mile to go before we are in a position where this move will be feasible and likely.
@@treeguy7490 Every poll I have seen on this has been around CANADA becoming the 51st state, not Alberta exclusively. It doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference, but it actually does from an Albertan perspective. I know a lot of people, myself include that wouldn't be for losing the Canadian identity to move to the US, but there is a different feeling about maintaining the Albertan identity to move to the US that fundamentally just feels better. I don't know how else to explain it. Lets just say if a referendum was put forward for Canada to become the US, I would vote no, but if a referendum for Alberta to join the US was put forward, I would vote yes, and I can't exactly explain why.
@@elliottbradshaw6856 I agree with your second reply here. As an Albertan I don't want Canada to be a part of the US. I would however support Alberta being 51 and in my social circles its about a 50/50 split. I have noticed though that people who are higher IQ would separate and the lower IQ get angry at me even asking the question.
Of course the grass is always greener on the other side. I wish Jordan had not fled to the US. My respect for him, while still substantial, has taken a hit. True champions stay where they are needed!! Come back home and fight for your country here where people like me are forced to face the 'consequences!'
As an American, I've been watching with a ton of interest for well over a year. I feel bad for Alberta, they've been handicapped repeatedly by Ottawa while getting the same sneering attitude that we in the US receive. The basic socialist thought of "I'm better than you, while I spend your money". And why? Why can't that money support the people earning it? It's wild. Best wishes. I'm happy you guys have a great leader though. Danielle Smith has so much integrity.
@@canadiangirl5159 I don't blame him for moving out. Canadian media work hard c*ns*r opinions like this especially when our own government pays for those legacy media.

You can keep him. Use to be a fan, but he is clearly a Trumper now. Stroking the shaft, tickling the frenulum, and drinking the goo. One polar opposite to another. Turdo and all his like need to go, and we need to be much more conservative, just not that far. We are better than that.
I believe the 13% number. People in Alberta are the most proud Canadians I have ever met in my life. What they want is what most people throughout Canada want which proper economic policies to bring more prosperity , unfortunately Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney derailed Canadian people lives with terrible net zero economic policies but the Liberals were warned it was going to cause a sharp rise in cost of living.
I'm ready to become the 51st state 🇺🇸🇨🇦 United strong!!! Quebecer over here. We benefit from Alberta and have taken advantage of them for years. Enough is enough. Our health care is awful, education system is woke as ever...the list goes on and on.
I honestly dont know where to start to fix our province. Most if not all our media and "elite" is in Montréal and its one of the worse leftist shithole in the world. So they always decide for the rest

I encourage you to check out Kevin O'Leary's proposition for a trade Union. I doubt Ontario would support it but Alberta may have the economic strength on its own as an independent country. If not, joining the USA is a far better economic solution than remaining in Canada.
@@pedromasta6328 Watch the video, but I will sum it up. 1. Stop taking advantage of your neighbor while pretending to be the nice guy. 2. De-liberalize Canada of the fake nice guys that steal from you while lining their pockets and setting you in a crash course towards becoming the second China. This behavior would lead to destruction were it not for your neighbor 3. Stop being fooled by snake oil salesmen that tell you the "right thing to do" is seek out green energy and open borders while it has been proven time and time again that both of these things lead to poverty and destruction. If these trends keep going, provinces will soon seek out statehood in the states, not all, but some, and the rest of Canada will fall.
As an American, I would gladly accept Alberta, and as many friends as she would invite along. It might be beneficial to include Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territory in order to become contiguous with Alaska and (sort of) Greenland.

Alberta premier met with Trump about a month ago.. Their only customers the usa.

She's speaking to the press Yeah the owners of quite a few Alaskan drilling sites, Pebble mine, live in western Canada and alberta. Their friends with Trump Trump finally got through the red tape to open up Pebble mine, (Alaska) they've been trying for over a decade. And they were just at the point of opening up when Biden got into the oval office. So they shut it down to keep it out of his hands, they already knew he'd likely be shutting it down Or worse, he would turn the mining rights over to China. Trump's got a lot of friends in Western canada. Hello from Alaska
Quebecer here : I agree with everything and i hate to be the leeches of Canada and US. Our politicians keep the truth from us so they can keep pulling on the sheets. About the tariffs, our politician all said that it was unjustified.. If i had a neirbhor that would keep letting anybody into my backyard, just out of peace and love mentality, and not paying his fair share of the security deal (because war is bad.. , so is the army) .. i would be PISSED! As a quebecer, I understand that we did suffer from the assimilation of english canada over french canada . But i feel thats it's weak to keep on reminiscing about the past, instead looking into the future , working hard and grasping opportunities. I feel most quebecer dont realise the world we live in. There are predatorial countrys and culture out there , aiming to eat us. We have been shielded for a long time, but the world have become smaller and now.. something lurks close by.. For my part, and i believe a good chunk of my fellow quebecer would too, if the deal is right , i would vote to become part of the US . Enough with this leftist bs
The answer is to realize that CONSERVATIVES. want Quebecers to be free & shine better. Conservatives became as Conservatives because we don’t believe in socialism control -
@@MajorTom91not sure if the roc realise it, but living in Quebec for a long while was like living in north korea. Only the media and elite spoke english, so we had to trust everything they said about the world and the priorities. Its getting much, much better with internet.
Bravo Dr. Peterson! I’ve have been saying these exact same points, to my fellow countrymen, for years now (maybe not as eloquently as you have though). I’m getting so sick of hearing the smug, crass remarks of the people who think I’m crazy in my sentiments. So much so that, I’ve been laughing at the Canadian sheep flock that was shytting their pants at the Trump tariffs. They still refuse to swallow their timely serving of humble pie and wake up. There is still so much work to do here. I’m happy you got out safely. Keep up your great work.
So as much as I enjoy Dr. Petersons perspectives and lectures, what can we/he do to solve the issues? The present facts are obvious and well known, how about some real problem solving that Canadians can achieve instead of just talking about the problems.
As a proud Albertan who works in the Oil & Gas sector, this hits close to home. Our country turns their nose on what we do / provide for the rest of our country. The thought that a better and cleaner way of energy has been a topic for years, but no infrastructure exists, and G&P will be a necessary means for the foreseeable future.
Im born and raised in Alberta. In the energy sector and I feel like Canada doesn’t respect Alberta at all. I wouldn’t be against becoming to 51st State
And i, as just a humble US citizen would more than invite you to join us. I am very proud of my country and it would be wonderful if we could all join together.
Remember when a lot of “ Canadians” basically danced a jig during the horrific fire in Fort McMurray? Blamed it on Karma and such? Well I was there and went through it. Literally shameful. There was an editorial by Rex Murphy at the time scolding this bunch for this attitude and I encourage you to search it out. It’s brilliant. I’m not from Alberta but I’ve felt welcomed by them always. I try to spend money there and feed their economy even when I’m back in NB. Alberta is a GREAT province and Canada should bend over to keep it in the Confederation if it has to. I can’t imagine what Canada would be like without it.
There has and always be a small faction of the population that get some perverse pleasure from the pain and suffering of others. 'A lot' because they're the loud fools that get noticed. Hey, as a Newfie, I've been hearing the jokes my entire life. Then there's the percentage that just go along with what they hear, again a small faction. I fully believe the vast majority of Canadians believe we should be united and treat every area of the country with respect, and fairly.
As a British Columbia resident, I apologize for our stupid governments' lack of foresight. I fully support pipeline expansion. I will toss in a third option. Northern BC is done with the South Coast dictating policy. Some are suggesting amalgamation into Alberta. Imagine an Alberta with direct access to tidewater. Prince Rupert all the way to Edmonton.
Still don't believe the BC elections were without interference. Half of the Island voted for the same gov't that has caused such swift destruction, along with some mainland pockets. Delu lu. Many in BC would support something like your idea.
And you didn't even mention the Constitution. Most Albertans would give up an awful lot for the freedoms it offers. Clearly we will never enjoy it in Canada.
Ontario here. While I don’t want to join America, I do want to enact real tangible change from within. I stand with Alberta, I have talked with anyone who would listen on how we need to get our resources to tide water. I’ve invested in oil and gas companies and have said for a number of years how our sovereignty depends on advancing the interests of all provinces within the confederation. I’ve demanded from my local MP to get projects like Energy East done. Alberta deserves better from my province.
God good... who cares about Quebec. Let them feel the pain of "being a nation" , reduce the language bureaucracy that has a strangle hold on our federal politics. The provinces should seek to remove provincial trade barresl, leave chauvinistic Quebec to its own devices. Watch the whining start. The "Canadian" province that is excellent playing the opressed minority non sense
@@byroneveson Im in Southern Ontario niagara falls region, I wish I went to Alberta or Saska. Many people in the west think ALL ontario is liberal, but only major cities are Toronto and Ottawa. Everywhere else, were all conservative but were sadly even a minority in Ontario. Niagara falls and Saint Catherines cities, it's not even 1 million combined. This whole Liberal is such a scam of stacking immigrants in basically Liberal cities. Where Niagara falls and Saint catherines is all conservative.
@@Ambridge-vl8on I grew up in Northern Ontario, Sudbury, the armpit of Canada. I have many contacts still in Edmonton. I would love to share but not sure how. If you have any heavy equipment experience, you can expect a seasonal job making upwards of 200k a year. I have contacts in Lafarge, and in a couple oil companies through my overseas family. My god parents still live in Niagara Falls, Loved it. I actually found an American 20 dollar bill on the skylon tower when I visited. People there are nice, but Edmontonians are the best.
@Ambridge-vl8on St Catharines resident here. I would even go further to say that historicall, this city and region were NDP due to the workers from General Motors who are now disappearing since the plant no longer exists except for the propulsion facility. But my fellow residents are having a hard time putting their faith behind a broken party and poor leadership. You'll see the majority of this region vote conservative in the coming months. Good luck to us all and God bless Canada.
Perfectly and eloquently articulated. Alberta has been taken advantage of for too long. Quebec doesn’t deserve the majority of the equalization payments when they shame oil calling it ‘dirty money’.
funny thing is that Albertan's would probably view the equalization payments generally positively if Quebec could at the very least show some appreciation and respect for AB. Thats honestly all it would take to significantly shift the sentiment.
@@thirdtooth4069 We are the ones gobbling your money, and you’re stuck here complaining trying to explain how we could get your “ good sentiments “ You can’t make this stuff up😂
Frankly, Alberta does not need Canada, Canada needs Alberta. Alberta has a ton more in common with the Midwest than they do with Quebec who treats Alberta with contempt. With a dysfunctional Canada which is politically divided and corrupted by the East, it would be highly productive for them to dump Canada. I am a fifth generation Canadian and have already made my life in the USA and it was a great decision. I was shat upon nonstop by Quebec, denied my own language and treated badly continuously. Screw them.
No, there are plenty that are far worse off than Canada and the UK. Do some research and don’t drink the woe is me Kool-Aid. Things could be much better here, but can and will get much worse with the two TRUs in power.
We’re working on stabilizing our country to help uplift yours, soon we will work on the UK. I’m hoping if Canada does get their act together that maybe they can help us get the UK back on track.
Well said. Most Americans, including President Trump would rather have a strong, independent, self-sustaining best friend to the North. We don't want a weak family member that we always worry will not be able to protect himself from a cruel, insensitive adverse foe(s) from the West. America is the LEAST or non-existent concern for O Canada. We still are your best friend. Treat us so. Keep up to your end of the bargain in defense. Produce wealth to build a vibrant infrastructure of manufacturing that we Americans can readily buy. Don't force us to look elsewhere for our products. Let us keep trade in North America. Don't cut us out of your markets under the guise of self-protection. We have the same exact founding, history, heritage, etc. Both America and Canada need to remember...... and always be together, yet separate.
I wish you guys would stop joking around and make it happen! Get us out of here hahaha Canada is so horrible, we go to jail for typing naughty words on the internet. It's insane.
He’s shifted from being a thought-provoking professor to a full-blown ideological performer. Instead of challenging people to think critically, he now fuels division under the guise of rational debate. His early work was about personal responsibility and self-improvement-now it’s about playing culture war referee, feeding the outrage cycle, and reinforcing the echo chamber that keeps him relevant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. His audience isn’t looking for nuance; they want confirmation that their worldview is correct and that they’re victims of some grand societal shift. And Peterson delivers, carefully picking battles that rile people up while avoiding any real critique of the power structures that actually dictate their lives.
I Am grateful legal immigrant Perm Res. And with this lecture found important information about the actual CDN economics and politics. Of course the 51st state is not a nice option to say the less, but definitely things have to change NOW and completely. Canada is a great and beautiful country. Immigrants have abused of good will. It took me 5 years to get my PR and I have met several that just arrived and pled REFUGEE. You know the story. Thanks Dr Peterson. Always a pleasure to learn from you. Looking forward to sign up to your academy when my budget allows.
What good is Canada, where I was born and raised, as a country anymore Dr. Peterson? I am a young Canadian with two degrees and 5 years of experience in software development. Why would I want to be Canadian anymore? No one can answer me this in a way I find reasonable. Housing prices are out of control, I wanted to start a family and have children and yet how can I when I can't secure shelter? Grocery prices are frankly absurd-- I am inspired by your daughter and her diet to help my own issues and yet there isn't the faintest glimmer I can afford even the cheapest cuts of meat at the store. The economy and job opportunities here for a software developer are so few and far between and even in those positions we're paid half that of our USA equivalent job role. ... In saying all that, why would I even want to be Canadian? I've been stripped of any and all dignity I could possess. I am frustrated. I see the news and I feel saddened not even rage I just feel saddened and disheartened. We've fallen so far off the rails.
As of 10am Alberta time the Quebec Premier has said no Alberta pipeline in Quebec even after all these problems we’re having they still refuse to be part of the solution. Alberta 51st state lets get on with it I’m fed up with communist garbage dump of a country that shames Alberta at every turn. God bless Premier Danielle Smith 🙏🙏 God help Alberta 🙏🙏 God bless President Donald J Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏 God bless America 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡
Indeed a PERSUASIVE and EFFECTIVE communicator. Who can really argue when someone is as thorough as JP is here. Seriously, what did he miss? Nailed it.
As an Indigenous Man of Alberta I support this! Canadian Born Citizens first. Not foreign first. The way they treated us in this beautiful Province is so disheartening.
As an American, THANK YOU! You get it Jordan, and that’s because you LISTENED. It’s sad cause a lot of Americans generally love our fellow Canadians, but in the last 10 years or so many of us have questioned if they actually even like us. The funny thing about the “friend” remark, especially said by certain Canadian politicians that tried to bring this up to us Americans about why we are going through harsh tariffs, down to bringing up the impact 9/11 had on both both countries, it how none of them stopped to address the low blow of letting Canada allowing terrorists on a watch list to be allowed to reside in their country. Which in turn these terrorists use that to their advantage to hop over to our country that Canadian authorities lose track. It’s why I have not been impressed with Canadians talking down to us Americans, for me this is the tipping point where I ask fellow Canadians to rethink if this is how “friends” act? A lot of Canadians seemed rattled that Americans are directing tough action that is equivalent to the harsh penalties of Mexico but trying to down play their role. Meanwhile I have to constantly bring up for all of the issues Mexico has brought to us, there were more terrorists found by American authorities from the Canadian border than the Mexican border. Friends don’t gaslight the other like this, as they certainly wouldn’t set up a scenario to repeat one of the worst days of our country to re-experience. Really the only region of Canada that has stepped up, as a partner and a true friend, has been the Albertans. A learning more about the plight the rest of Canada has forced them through, I say they are the only ones worthy to be allowed to be part of the United States of America if they so wish. In all honesty though, would prefer to see if Canadians can self reflect and fix their country before such actions. Americans would like to focus on our own mess, however this continuous charade of the condescending, both to us Americans and Albertans, should at least be addressed. We at least have the big picture to understand the west is in decline and the free world depends on us, whether we like it or not, so while Canadians can harper on about “Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends!” meanwhile us Americans see the relationship differently. We love our fellow Canadians as family, as much as Canadians love to bash on our culture and how much their culture is superior cause they get to be the “nice” country, our cultures are more in link than most Canadians care to grasp. Our cultures are more like brothers, similar principles with different takes. To us Americans, therefore, we are going to have to go to the tough love route. Many Canadians are pissed at us, but at this point Americans have grown used to being seen as the bullies, we’ve become immune to it now. Our priorities is to restore our country, and revive the west if possible, so we’ll take that label of being the bully if it means it will help get Canadian’s act together and we then get the chance to actually fix our country.
We love our American neighbors, it's our leadership under the Trudeau/Singh regime that's a problem. I would move from Ontario to Alberta and would be proud to be a USA citizen.
On the other side of this, I think the US should make an offer specifically to Alberta and the residents of Alberta, for them to separate from Canada and join the US.
@@billygoatB Of course there would have to be a way to protect the system from being gamed, like an upper limit, and a comparison with the total funds in the prior year, that sort of thing. Otherwise everyone around the world would buy Canadian dollars in a scheme to exchange them for US dollars. The idea would be to set Canadian citizens on equal footing to US citizens.
Here's the thing. I am in BC. So if this happened I would immediately move to Alberta. But so would every single immigrant in Canada, because they are pure speculators, no loyalty at all. What would happen to the non-Alberta residents who would want to jump on this train?
Beautifully articulated! As a US American I would much rather see Canada use this as an opportunity to wake up from the woke fantasy and begin to function in the best interests of its citizens.
👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
We did, under Harper era and then woke plague just swooped in and took over. Canada was first, USA was second but least you got rid of it very quickly.
it's either USA takes us or China does. The govrrnment has way too much propaganda indoctrination power.

notwithstanding clause and demographic change insure we never get canada back.
its a dead concept being worn like a skin suit
This. Crazy that we don't have open trade between Provinces. Crazy that we are knee capping ourselves with over regulation on resources and energy.
Agreed. While it's fanciful to notion oneself as "the best version of everyone else" (i.e. 'Canada should become the 51st state), that's hardly productive and generally untrue. It just reeks of ego. It shows a great deal of humility on Peterson's front to not get defensive to the point of hostility at what Trump is saying, and instead use it to introspect.

@@cowboyssawmillandwoodlot6343 Quebeqer here. You are absolutely wrong. It's a known fact that Quebec bashing is a canadian national sport. We are not the enemy you think.

@@cowboyssawmillandwoodlot6343 Fuckem.
If they don't like it, then as my daddy said, let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark!
I think Canada should align with the EU, possibly even join the EU.
I just responded to another TH-cam channel the other day who kept saying (of Canada): "we're stronger together".. and the hosts of that channel live in Ontario. My response was "I'm not so sure that's true for the West... and I'm pretty sure it's not true for Alberta". Then I called into the radio here in Vancouver on the same topic today and described our "federation" as "the east's boot on top of Alberta's neck while they go through her pockets taking everything of value". Dr. Peterson and I seem to agree on this matter - but no one cares what I have to say. So thank you @JordanBPeterson for saying it! Such will be the challenge for heir-apparent P.M. Poilievre - to implement with "Trumpian Rapidity" a plan to revitalize the Canadian Federation... because as Dr. Peterson points out... Alberta certainly, and much of the West could gain much by separating. Maybe that's Trump's plan all along - to entice Canada's West to become "the 51st State" and leave the high-maintenance, left-leaning-and-voting east, to their own fate.
I really don't think he gives a shit, he just wants what's best for the US.
First I have to say, I do care what you have to say. I'm a Canadian Vet, born in B.C. Raised in the NWT and living in Alb. so as someone that has been around the block I can say that all of western Canada has been manipulated to fighting among ourselves. We would be far better off if we left and stood on our own 2 feet, math does not lie and anyone that does not believe this isn't good at math, at all. I don't care what western Province your living in, stand up and be proud of who you are.
"We hate your oil and wish to shut it off but keep sending the oil money..." Oh man.

yep oil money no doubt ended up in climate change over flowing pockets, hypocrisy at its highest definition !
As an American, I'm not so sure we'd want all of Canada as part of the US, but we would be delighted for Albertans to join us and to extend to them American rights, freedoms, and friendship that their current woke authoritarian overloads would never be able to offer.
Well articulated and I agree 100%.
Yea, big pass on Quebec. 😂
If this offer that the good Doctor is offered in sincerity and an addition of a few $100,000 per person, along with a pressing of DC to relinquish the CPP funds Albertans have submitted to Ottawa, you'd be surprised at the out come
The damage that Turd-o has done to Canada the past 9 years is only comparable to the shit show in California with Newsome.
You definitely don’t want all of Canada as the 51st state. We vote terribly!
Albertan here, I’m fed up with Quebec, British Columbia, and Ottawa screwing us over on getting our energy to markets etc. If they don’t step up and support us I support Alberta independence or becoming 51st state.
Better start the process of dissolving that parliamentary system if you intend on becoming the 51st state.
Thank you for clarification.!! This is so important!!!
I agree Poilievire needs to start with you!!!
After ten years of liberal mismanagement the idea to become the 51st state looks pretty appealing especially for young people who don't have any opportunities in Canada
BC here I agree fed up with Alberta not supporting us here, i think if your interested to be a Yank go then but don't jeopardize the rest of Canada. Have fun with living under the biggest bully and having to pay thousands of greenbacks when you need hospitalization, thats just the start of it shall i go on.
I am sick to death of Alberta's selfishness... you had years to diversify energy sources. Instead you're whining like a grown up child still living off his parents.
much love to Dr Peterson, from Alberta!
As an American, I adore Danielle Smith 😂 I want to adopt her. She is the only politician up north that actually listened, and took Trump seriously. I gained so much respect for her. And as I learned about Ottawa sabotage of Alberta I felt a real respect. Albertans seem like they'd fit in the US Midwest so well. Best wishes.
I have lived and worked all across our beautiful and once great nation my whole life. It has sadly degraded, coast to coast, We are Broken, we are hurt, we need strong policy and time to heal our national pride and wellbeing, we stand on guard for thee.

ontario here. Doug ford is far left wef but he's what they give us for a conservative.
@@macintosh7169 You are an idiot.
How about gun love.
Albertan here.
When asked what I think about the whole notion of becoming the 51st state, it's been asked as a joke, but I've found I can get people to seriously think about it by saying:
"You mean I could say whatever I want without fear of legal reprisals, and anyone who takes issue with something I say I also have the legal protections to adequately defend myself and the people I love? That sounds like a damn good deal to me."
Everything else is a mute point. Healthcare, diversity, none of that matters. Do you have the right to express yourself in whichever way you see fit? and do you have the right to defend yourself and the people you love? Neither are guarantees in Canada, our charter is routinely thrown out the window all in the language of "reasonable limitations."
What can Canada offer it's citizens on the base level which makes it more compelling than America which offers REAL guarantees?
In Ontario you have Doug Ford prancing around with a baseball hat saying “Canada is not for sale”. I don’t recall Trump offering any money for it. He just wants to “takeover” us with economic pressures.
In the few weeks Trump has been in “power” he has managed to piss off more countries and people than any recent leader.
The US will stand alone against the world when the dust settles.
Plenty. The US is a litigatious place for one. They will sick the FBI on you for an opinion or words if the political climate warrants it.
One week or or one operation in an American hospital can bankrupt you.
We in Canada can make our health system better. Canadians have just not paid attention. And we can move toward change in our Federal political system. We now know we need that change, and we know where it is most needed.
Let's wake up. Represent has become Rule. The division of powers has been allowed to fall by the wayside.
Also: you can defend yourself and your family with a gun; you can buy food and everything else for a fraction of the cost; your energy and gasoline prices would be a fraction of what they are; your real estate prices would fall to a level where your kids can afford to get married and have families of their own, etc, etc, etc, etc.....
Get down there soon and swiftly then if you feel no pride of your homeland. Coward
Unrelated, but it's "moot" not "mute". Anyways, all the best.
Danielle are you listening? This should be required listening for every Canadian
I'm deeply disappointed by the current state of affairs in Canada. As a proud, West Coast-born and raised Canadian, I cherish my childhood memories of national pride. While that pride remains, recent political decisions and the current climate have significantly eroded my optimism. Living in British Columbia, arguably the most beautiful province in the country, has become disheartening. We face a growing crisis: the prevalence of fentanyl addiction, skyrocketing crime rates, and foreign investment driving up housing costs to exorbitant levels. At 31 years old, I earn $43 an hour, yet I'm still forced to live with my father because I can't afford a home or even reasonable rent. It feels like a cruel joke. I long for the days when Canada was a global leader, or at least a close second. I recently saw a video of a protest downtown, where someone proposed a "super drugstore" offering access to hard drugs like cocaine, fentanyl, and ketamine. The idea is appalling. Is this really where my tax dollars should be going? Furthermore, the concept of publicly funded gender-affirming care, particularly for children, raises serious ethical questions. How can we, as a society, allow such procedures? It's disturbing to see Canadians seemingly indifferent to these issues, yet quick to criticize the United States for considering tariffs. While I'm not personally in favor of tariffs, and I certainly don't want Canada to become a U.S. state, I feel lost and powerless. What can we possibly do to reverse this decline
@@Starkid4590 No need to worry about Canada becoming a State. The US will only want the good parts that produce positively. So, BC, Albert, Sask, and maybe Manitoba. Maybe NWT as well so they have more landmass bordering the artic Seaways.
I agree with most of your sentiments, but sadly, I think we are too far gone. The canada you love is gone. Annexing canada would be a gift, and it would reinstate what you love under a new name. Im 33 years old, and I've watched my husband struggle to provide for us. We own our own profitable business, but we are so close to losing everything from all the high costs and taxes. The deck is stacked against us. Best wishes to you.
Hang in there... An Ontario-born Canadian, I love my entire country. A new day is about to dawn!
I’m born and raised in Vancouver. I feel your pain, working hard and doing the right thing and still can’t get ahead. I honestly think a Conservative government is our last and only hope.
I live near Vancouver for decades. I do not earn as high and a few decades older. I thought I’d be retired by now but I cannot. I don’t earn as much as you but I have used s&p500 stocks to help me fight inflation.
I was an immigrant, helped myself and my elderly parents, put myself through school etc… I paid my dues so I am the “good immigrant”. I am hopefull this is still possible
Even though others hate immigrants, I saw in my city of Vancouver, local mom/pop groceries and restaurants open up which bring prices down and some take care of their grandkids while the parents work elsewhere. The small business has boomed.
Ultimately, we can just control ourselves and see opportunities. Ownership is overrated; I hate my strata fees and wish the government has a tax break on it but they are too busy arguing about small petty things.
The governments have to align and be less arrogant and ignorant (ie learn less from the Americans).
Our government officials are sadly naive and young. When I was younger and a new immigrant, I thought our officials were out of touch and will be eaten alive by A
sian counterparts. Fast forward now, they are being eaten alive by the Americans

Not even 1/4 the country, and not footing the entire bill. We have essentially the same thing in the NHL, the well-off teams kick-in to help the poorer franchises.

They limited Alberta's energy production and sales while still asking for the same amount of money for equalization payments. Then fought tooth and nail to keep the same payment structure.
Well if you really want to screw them over, we can take just Alberta and leave the East to fend for itself.

I hear Alberta bash other provinces, and entire regions, all the time. "Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark" was a popular Alberta phrase for a time.
The Eastern response? Paid for their pipeline. Sent fire crews and immense resources when the province was burning. Sent endless trains of feed when Alberta cattle were starving as a result of drought. Sent money, equipment and personnel when the Bow River flooded downtown Calgary. Even the legendary Toronto band Rush played a benefit in Red Deer.
Thank-you Dr Peterson for your superb eye-opening dissertation. Many Canadians are awake to the true picture you are word painting. We are the recently enervated, supporting the Conservative return to commonsense, historically proven national governance.

I felt Canadian at that point but it was as if we were the last ones fighting for that dying idea. Now, I just wish we were all American, the rampant socialism is unbearable.
This is the message that should be broadcasted everywhere in Canada!
Don't expect Glical News, CTV, CBC, and other lamest ream media to broadcast this. They have their heads up Trudope's arse!
Exactly
It surprises me that so many Canadians are supportive of this drivel. I get it, Canada in a lot of ways really sucks (especially at the moment) it's an expensive nanny state, that's squandering it's abundance of natural resources and has a deeply unpopular leader that needs to go. Even ignoring the fact that we are about to have an Albertan Conservative Prime Minister,, Canada already is an amazing country and in many ways better than the US. There is a reason that Canada ranks higher in life satisfaction. One of the causes of unhappiness in the US is the fact that it is so deeply divided. JP is seeking to sow that division in Canada (while ironically residing in America) he's also blatantly looking to profit off this division (which is evident because he has enabled the "thanks" button above while already being a multi-millionaire). I liked him better on the benzo's, he was way more relaxed, now he just comes across as an uptight angry American (sorry I know that's offensive please don't tariff us).
Thank you Dr peterson. Well said! As an Albertan. I would agree we would be treated better as part of the US. We get such a crappy deal here in Canada. I think the rest of Canada is going to learn in a hurry they need Alberta more than we need them. Bring on the negotiations. Go Danielle Smith!
🤔🤔
you can have the same deal the separatists get. YOU can leave but the land stays! It belongs to all the people, not just the ones who want to be comfy and well treated by the invading forces. Collaborate from down there if you think he'd be better for you. Brutal honesty? Jan 6 was their "Maganaucht", then they came for the immigrants (was supposed to be the wicked criminals, but is now expanded to Birthright citizens) ... then the old the infirm and the children (getting rid of Medicaid and all federal funding grants feeding/helping them), blamed DEI for crashing planes (soon non-white people won't be able to hold anything but menial jobs.. can't fly planes so next they'll take away your driver's licence's), FBI and law officials are being punished for upholding the law and being fired in droves (any one who worked on the legal prosecution of Jan 6'ers), he's declared a freeze on media information unless it passes through his censorship first, he's handed over ALL of your data to his friends who will now be able to use it against you, has decided to start conflicts with every ally you HAD (news flash we're not friends anymore!), has established Concentration Camp Gitmo.... So lemme warn you.. if "Titler" & CO start talking about establishing "hospitals and facilities" for the handicapped and the orphaned children watch for large chimneys....
I would certainly welcome you and other Canadian friends to the United States as I'm sure virtually all of my fellow citizens.

I wish the rest of canada wanted to join... do they? in ontario we might end up as china... that’s why trump would have to take all canada.
we'd be a china US proxy war site
I find it telling that no polling company dares to put forward an opinion poll to Alberta about Alberta seperatation right now, as this opportunity so obviously looms over Canada. As Danielle Smith has said, there won't be just an economic crisis, but a unity crisis if the Federal government continues with its antics.
I seen one...can't recall who posted it but Alberta ranked higher for separation than Quebec. I don't want to actually say the numbers as I can't give the source.
Any such movement towards AB separation must wait for a federal Conservative majority. Additionally we are waiting for the inevitable economic chaos resulting from an overdue national recession. At that time support for separation will be at a maximum, and likely successful. They are waiting for the stars to align and then we will get our referendum.
@thomash1894 You are completely correct, this will not be done until we see what the CPC has in-store for Alberta. I keep seeing Alberta inch closer and closer towards this result, with sentiment in Alberta following as well. If there is not a fundamental change in how Alberta is treated in this Federation, we will eventually get there, but we still have a mile to go before we are in a position where this move will be feasible and likely.
@@treeguy7490 Every poll I have seen on this has been around CANADA becoming the 51st state, not Alberta exclusively. It doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference, but it actually does from an Albertan perspective. I know a lot of people, myself include that wouldn't be for losing the Canadian identity to move to the US, but there is a different feeling about maintaining the Albertan identity to move to the US that fundamentally just feels better. I don't know how else to explain it. Lets just say if a referendum was put forward for Canada to become the US, I would vote no, but if a referendum for Alberta to join the US was put forward, I would vote yes, and I can't exactly explain why.
@@elliottbradshaw6856 I agree with your second reply here. As an Albertan I don't want Canada to be a part of the US. I would however support Alberta being 51 and in my social circles its about a 50/50 split. I have noticed though that people who are higher IQ would separate and the lower IQ get angry at me even asking the question.
As an Albertan, I would just on that opportunity. I can't see much downside
Oh man. Super interesting. I've been chatting with Albertans. JBP is not alone in feeling the pull.
Of course the grass is always greener on the other side. I wish Jordan had not fled to the US. My respect for him, while still substantial, has taken a hit. True champions stay where they are needed!! Come back home and fight for your country here where people like me are forced to face the 'consequences!'
As an American, I've been watching with a ton of interest for well over a year. I feel bad for Alberta, they've been handicapped repeatedly by Ottawa while getting the same sneering attitude that we in the US receive. The basic socialist thought of "I'm better than you, while I spend your money". And why? Why can't that money support the people earning it? It's wild. Best wishes. I'm happy you guys have a great leader though. Danielle Smith has so much integrity.

I heard in mainstream media "only 13% of Albertans want to join America" I commented: You might be surprised, lets put it to a vote and see!
I hope to hear more of this conversation this year!
I believe the 13% number. People in Alberta are the most proud Canadians I have ever met in my life. What they want is what most people throughout Canada want which proper economic policies to bring more prosperity , unfortunately Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney derailed Canadian people lives with terrible net zero economic policies but the Liberals were warned it was going to cause a sharp rise in cost of living.

As a Canadian I supported Confederacy for most of my young adult life. I now support Albertan and by extension Western separation. I don't want to become an American, I want the best for all Canadians, but not at the expense of Alberta. If that means we become a Republic in the west, so be it.
I encourage you to check out Kevin O'Leary's proposition for a trade Union. I doubt Ontario would support it but Alberta may have the economic strength on its own as an independent country. If not, joining the USA is a far better economic solution than remaining in Canada.

Yeah the owners of quite a few Alaskan drilling sites, Pebble mine, live in western Canada and alberta. Their friends with Trump
Trump finally got through the red tape to open up Pebble mine, (Alaska) they've been trying for over a decade.
And they were just at the point of opening up when Biden got into the oval office. So they shut it down to keep it out of his hands, they already knew he'd likely be shutting it down
Or worse, he would turn the mining rights over to China.

As a quebecer, I understand that we did suffer from the assimilation of english canada over french canada . But i feel thats it's weak to keep on reminiscing about the past, instead looking into the future , working hard and grasping opportunities. I feel most quebecer dont realise the world we live in. There are predatorial countrys and culture out there , aiming to eat us. We have been shielded for a long time, but the world have become smaller and now.. something lurks close by..

I’m not from Alberta but I’ve felt welcomed by them always. I try to spend money there and feed their economy even when I’m back in NB.
Alberta is a GREAT province and Canada should bend over to keep it in the Confederation if it has to. I can’t imagine what Canada would be like without it.
There has and always be a small faction of the population that get some perverse pleasure from the pain and suffering of others. 'A lot' because they're the loud fools that get noticed. Hey, as a Newfie, I've been hearing the jokes my entire life. Then there's the percentage that just go along with what they hear, again a small faction.

His early work was about personal responsibility and self-improvement-now it’s about playing culture war referee, feeding the outrage cycle, and reinforcing the echo chamber that keeps him relevant.
He knows exactly what he’s doing. His audience isn’t looking for nuance; they want confirmation that their worldview is correct and that they’re victims of some grand societal shift. And Peterson delivers, carefully picking battles that rile people up while avoiding any real critique of the power structures that actually dictate their lives.
That's it ,
I'm really thinking of taking my family from Montreal to Alberta,
and why not accept Trump's offer 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Very interesting...Why now?!
I Am grateful legal immigrant Perm Res. And with this lecture found important information about the actual CDN economics and politics. Of course the 51st state is not a nice option to say the less, but definitely things have to change NOW and completely. Canada is a great and beautiful country. Immigrants have abused of good will. It took me 5 years to get my PR and I have met several that just arrived and pled REFUGEE. You know the story. Thanks Dr Peterson. Always a pleasure to learn from you. Looking forward to sign up to your academy when my budget allows.
What good is Canada, where I was born and raised, as a country anymore Dr. Peterson? I am a young Canadian with two degrees and 5 years of experience in software development. Why would I want to be Canadian anymore? No one can answer me this in a way I find reasonable. Housing prices are out of control, I wanted to start a family and have children and yet how can I when I can't secure shelter? Grocery prices are frankly absurd-- I am inspired by your daughter and her diet to help my own issues and yet there isn't the faintest glimmer I can afford even the cheapest cuts of meat at the store. The economy and job opportunities here for a software developer are so few and far between and even in those positions we're paid half that of our USA equivalent job role. ... In saying all that, why would I even want to be Canadian? I've been stripped of any and all dignity I could possess. I am frustrated. I see the news and I feel saddened not even rage I just feel saddened and disheartened. We've fallen so far off the rails.
As of 10am Alberta time the Quebec Premier has said no Alberta pipeline in Quebec even after all these problems we’re having they still refuse to be part of the solution.
Alberta 51st state lets get on with it I’m fed up with communist garbage dump of a country that shames Alberta at every turn.
God bless Premier Danielle Smith 🙏🙏
God help Alberta 🙏🙏
God bless President Donald J Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
God bless America 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡
Boycott Quebec products and companies
Indeed a PERSUASIVE and EFFECTIVE communicator. Who can really argue when someone is as thorough as JP is here. Seriously, what did he miss? Nailed it.
As an Indigenous Man of Alberta I support this! Canadian Born Citizens first. Not foreign first. The way they treated us in this beautiful Province is so disheartening.
Well done Dr.Peterson I hope Canadians have our ears open.
As an American, THANK YOU! You get it Jordan, and that’s because you LISTENED. It’s sad cause a lot of Americans generally love our fellow Canadians, but in the last 10 years or so many of us have questioned if they actually even like us. The funny thing about the “friend” remark, especially said by certain Canadian politicians that tried to bring this up to us Americans about why we are going through harsh tariffs, down to bringing up the impact 9/11 had on both both countries, it how none of them stopped to address the low blow of letting Canada allowing terrorists on a watch list to be allowed to reside in their country. Which in turn these terrorists use that to their advantage to hop over to our country that Canadian authorities lose track. It’s why I have not been impressed with Canadians talking down to us Americans, for me this is the tipping point where I ask fellow Canadians to rethink if this is how “friends” act?
A lot of Canadians seemed rattled that Americans are directing tough action that is equivalent to the harsh penalties of Mexico but trying to down play their role. Meanwhile I have to constantly bring up for all of the issues Mexico has brought to us, there were more terrorists found by American authorities from the Canadian border than the Mexican border. Friends don’t gaslight the other like this, as they certainly wouldn’t set up a scenario to repeat one of the worst days of our country to re-experience.
Really the only region of Canada that has stepped up, as a partner and a true friend, has been the Albertans. A learning more about the plight the rest of Canada has forced them through, I say they are the only ones worthy to be allowed to be part of the United States of America if they so wish. In all honesty though, would prefer to see if Canadians can self reflect and fix their country before such actions. Americans would like to focus on our own mess, however this continuous charade of the condescending, both to us Americans and Albertans, should at least be addressed.
We at least have the big picture to understand the west is in decline and the free world depends on us, whether we like it or not, so while Canadians can harper on about “Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends!” meanwhile us Americans see the relationship differently. We love our fellow Canadians as family, as much as Canadians love to bash on our culture and how much their culture is superior cause they get to be the “nice” country, our cultures are more in link than most Canadians care to grasp. Our cultures are more like brothers, similar principles with different takes. To us Americans, therefore, we are going to have to go to the tough love route. Many Canadians are pissed at us, but at this point Americans have grown used to being seen as the bullies, we’ve become immune to it now. Our priorities is to restore our country, and revive the west if possible, so we’ll take that label of being the bully if it means it will help get Canadian’s act together and we then get the chance to actually fix our country.
We love our American neighbors, it's our leadership under the Trudeau/Singh regime that's a problem. I would move from Ontario to Alberta and would be proud to be a USA citizen.
Alberta might not want to be part of America, but Independence from the rest of Canada? How does that sound?
you would probably at least want to be a US territory otherwise russia will get feisty as you would have no military
Then get lost
Nailed it out of the park man. The amount of people with absolutely no common sense to understand any of this is astonishing
On the other side of this, I think the US should make an offer specifically to Alberta and the residents of Alberta, for them to separate from Canada and join the US.
As an Albertan...make us an offer we can't refuse. An actual constitution is almost enough.
@@ZREXER1250 I think a reasonable offer might be to redeem Canadian dollars 1:1 with US dollars. How does that sound?
@@SG-js2qn As long as it is only Canadian dollars from Alberta.
@@billygoatB Of course there would have to be a way to protect the system from being gamed, like an upper limit, and a comparison with the total funds in the prior year, that sort of thing. Otherwise everyone around the world would buy Canadian dollars in a scheme to exchange them for US dollars. The idea would be to set Canadian citizens on equal footing to US citizens.
Here's the thing. I am in BC. So if this happened I would immediately move to Alberta. But so would every single immigrant in Canada, because they are pure speculators, no loyalty at all. What would happen to the non-Alberta residents who would want to jump on this train?
Imagine having a short conversation and trying to extend it to a paragraph that is getting strange
I’m from Alberta, I would take that deal and a second. I would only regret not being able to cheer for Mcdavid to win the gold medal.
You can bring them along with you NP.
Nailed it JP, I’m absolutely positive USA would treat us Albertans WAY better than Ontario and Quebec have…and do
If Alberta had an vote to leave Canada. I would vote YES. We can't do any worse then what we currently are.
Thank you!! Love from Alberta
Albertaindependence.....the only option....
Economically Alberta would 100% be better off in the United States. Canada needs to ensure that culturally and politically they keep Alberta happy.
Doctor Peterson should be the next Canadian financial minister and diploma!!!!!!!!
Very well said. I hope positive changes come to Canada like they are here in the US.
👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
This is incredible.
Once again Jordan, thank you for your voice.
It's truly disheartening being a citizen of Canada right now. We are as broken as a set of ppl as we are broke. 😢
We can fix our broke and sorry state soon by "definitely" joining the US......OR......MAYBE, but not likely SOMEDAY, by trying to fix it.
As an Albertan, every year of my life has made it now and more difficult to think of myself as a 'Canadian' just knowing what we could have been.
