Carney Reveals ‘Master Plan’ to Break Canada’s Dependence on America Amid Trump Tariff Tensions

Tonight, doctors and nurses are treating the wounded, and friends, families, and neighbors are consoling the bereaved because in Calgary, in Alberta, in Canada, we take care of each other. Here, here in Alberta, we have always spoken French. Travellers and tradesmen who have marked our first steps to the families of St. Albert, Bonville and St. Paul to the students of the Saint-Jean campus today. Here, here, we have never had to choose between being Albertans or Canadians. We are all Canadians. So next Monday, next Monday, let's continue to build this country together, a big enough country to welcome all our differences and strong enough to unite us. Now I want to say a few more words on unity, because faced with this more dangerous world, Canadians are choosing once again to stand together. Yep. And there's lots of ways to do this. Many of them fun. It doesn't have to be hardship all the time. Buying Alberta whiskey, taking holidays in the Rockies, coming to the Stampede, choosing Canadian suppliers. These are more than a twofer. These are acts of fun, but they are acts of solidarity repeated millions of times. And the threads of our country are being woven together anew. You know, I won't sugarcoat it. Some of those threads have needed to be repaired because the frustrations that many Albertans have felt are real. You know, growing up, I remember. I remember how Ottawa made Albertans feel like our resources weren't our own. And more recently, we were made to feel that our energy contributions were running against the tides of history. What should have brought us together began to divide us, contributing to half a century of politics that have too often pulled us apart. So yes, Canada isn't perfect, but we are the best. We are the best and we are getting better. We are getting better. You see it, we're working together in the spirit of cooperative federalism. It's a mouthful. Let me tell you what it really means. Calgary is at the center of this transformation. Canada's major project office, it's new, It's headquartered right here, making decisions about the projects that will build our country. New ports, new mines, new energy corridors. One half a trillion dollars of new investment. And together, together we're unlocking our full potential as an energy superpower, including with the Pacific Link pipeline. It will add, it will create more than 140,000 jobs. it will reduce reduce our dependent on the dependence on the united states oh careful careful they might reduce careful they might think that's election interference they're a little touchy down there we're not we're getting on with it we are getting on with it you know these big projects they will generate the revenues we need to protect the social programs that Albertans rely on every day. Health care, child care, dental care, national school food program. You know, this is true nation building, and it will take a nation to build this pipeline. We will build it through true partnerships with First Nations, with British Columbia, with suppliers from across the country, And with foreign importers who want to trade more with Canada, the world's most reliable trading partner. Yes, Canada is building big again, and Alberta is at the very heart of it. Half a billion dollars to build the local infrastructure for tens of thousands of affordable homes across this province. High-speed rail so you can all come up to Edmonton. in here don't forget Red Deer will be on Red Deer too eight billion dollars eight billion dollars in defense investments in Alberta over the next decade yeah we're building and we're building and securing new trade deals so our farmers can get more for their crops and their livestock up one fact i gotta put a few facts in here medias here up 80 percent this year canola and livestock and why because Canada is the most connected country in the world now tariff free access to one and a half billion consumers and we are just getting started but if we're distracted and divided we will miss these opportunities however if you choose team Canada on Monday Albertans will go on powering the world feeding the world and healing the world my friends nobody achieves greatness on their own not a pro athlete as good as John Cornish even as good as John Cornish not one great city on a vast prairie not a single province it takes a team takes a team those who came before us understood that they came here with hope and with ambition they endured the hard winters and the lean years they built homes businesses farms communities they stood by their neighbors and together they built something greater than any of them could have imagined and now it's our turn it's our turn because Canada was never merely a bargain struck between provinces it was never a series of transactions of gives and gets of gross and net Canada is a promise that is so much greater than the sum of its parts it is a promise the promise that together we will take all that we have been given and we have been given the greatest country in the world and we will take it and make it so much better for all of us that promise is for each of us to keep let this generation of Albertans choose to build up not break down let Alberta lead not leave to make Canada stronger to make it fairer to make it freer so in my public service announcement remember these three things mark Monday next Monday October 19th on your calendar. Show your pride. Bring a friend and vote like Canada depends on it because it does. This, this is our Canada. This is our future. Let's build it together. Thank you, Calgary.
