Carney says he'll support oil — but only if it's 'decarbonized'
While Carney met with Canada's premiers in Saskatoon, nearly 500 gathered at Rebel News' Regina town hall to discuss Western separation.
Yesterday, there was a meeting in Saskatoon between Prime Minister Mark Carney and the premiers, and Carney said something truly bizarre. He claimed he would support oil—as long as it's "decarbonized," whatever that means.
He’s been trying to square the circle for the last decade of his public life. Carney has consistently opposed oil and gas. He’s talked about transitioning away from fossil fuels, but he lacks the courage to tell Alberta, Saskatchewan, B.C., and other energy-producing provinces that, no—he’s going to carry on the Liberal tradition of blocking resource development.
Last night, Carney also announced his principal secretary—his right-hand man, senior advisor, and confidant. He appointed David Lametti, whom you might remember as the disgraced justice minister brought in after Jody Wilson-Raybould was fired. Lametti was the guy who said yes to anything Trudeau wanted. In fact, when the Emergencies Act was proposed—clearly illegal, inappropriate, and unconstitutional—as a way to deal with the peaceful Freedom Convoy truckers, Lametti rubber-stamped it.
Shortly afterward, Lametti resigned. You might recall that when he left, he attempted to delete his government Twitter account—not his personal one, his official account—which would have resulted in the destruction of all sorts of public records, including private messages. Rebel News quickly went to court, and no less than the Chief Justice of the Federal Court heard the case. Lametti was so embarrassed by our lawsuit that he agreed not to delete the records and to hand them over to Library and Archives Canada.
That’s the man Mark Carney has brought back. And there’s one more thing you should know about him.
Lametti once spoke at an Indigenous event, where he mused out loud that maybe Canada should take away the constitutional right of Alberta and Saskatchewan to develop oil, gas, coal, and other mineral wealth. You may know that those provinces were unequal when they joined Confederation—they didn't originally have those rights and had to fight to gain them.
Speaking to the group, Lametti said: “Wouldn’t it be cool if we took away the constitutional power of Alberta and Saskatchewan to run their own energy?” He never really backed down from that idea—and neither did Trudeau.
While Carney’s meeting with the premiers was happening in Saskatoon, Rebel News hosted a town hall in Regina. About 500 people showed up to talk about the possibility of independence. Because if Alberta holds a referendum on independence next year, which now looks almost certain, Saskatchewan will be watching closely. The two provinces are essentially twins. If they see Alberta launching a separatist or sovereignist vote, they might say, “Hey, can we have that too?”
Remember, in Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith has said she won't personally campaign for independence—but she will let the people decide. Not only is that a strategic move, it gives her leverage in negotiations with Mark Carney. She has a long-standing list of demands on behalf of Albertans. But those demands have been ignored for years. Ottawa just laughs.
David Lametti laughs—and talks about pushing Alberta and Saskatchewan around some more.
But now, with a separatist referendum in the wind, there’s finally an “or else” if the Laurentian elites refuse to listen to what Alberta and Saskatchewan have to say.
GUEST: Rebel's Syd Fizzard speaks to attendees at the Regina town hall for their thoughts on the rise of Western independence.

Emil Axness commented 2025-06-04 12:20:53 -0400Hmmmm, let me see, hydrocarbons have to be decarbonized. HMMMM, I can’t support Carney because he is a fool to think he can sell that one. He may be a rich banker with a Bermuda based company ( tax dodge ) , but he ain’t a chemist. As Bernhard stated below.

Lillian Kelly commented 2025-06-04 01:01:11 -0400I really do not want to see Canada break up. I agree with Leland and I feel concern that if Alberta and SAskatchewan separate and go on their own that they will be more vulnerable to the Globalists. Canada and Canadians need to stand up to the globalists, and recognize what these power mongers are doing in Canada as well as around the world. We all need to stand up together. I do understand that provinces need to stand up and take back their power as we all need to do. I live in BC, and what is happening in this province is terrifying, namely the HPOA, and Bill 22, which takes complete control over all medical practitioners mainstream or alternative, and Bill 22 controls the lawyers. This is fascism, and it you don’t know about it I suggest you look into it. The NDP here is aligned with the globalists, the UN, and whoever is behind this takeover of our country, and many others. Will Alberta, and SAsk. be able to stand up on their own? and will Canada be able to stand up without those provinces. In addition what will happen to BC?

Leland Riesen commented 2025-06-03 23:45:18 -0400Saskatchewan, side with Alberta and pursue greater independence and control of your own provinces with their resources!! If you don’t you will be swallowed up by globalism and overrun not just by immigrants but terrorists. This is the Globalist agenda and it’s wrong, not to mention immoral. The Federal Government does not care about Canadians, only their Marxist Ideology. They stand for evil and against anything Godly. It’s not an accident our courts are unjust, crime is on the rise, children and elderly are being trampled on, health care is in shambles, and we’re out of sorts with the US. How can Canada ever be friendly with the States? The US is for Nationalism and the betterment of their people. Canada is globalist, no borders, greater central control, and intent on breaking its citizens. As Canadians we need to take back our country and a good start is with each province standing up for their independence and control of their own resources.

Robin Dutton commented 2025-06-03 23:07:23 -0400No chemist indeed. Considering all known life is based on carbon, the only de-carbonization that will occur is the removal of the carbon based paper currency of the ever gullible Canadian taxpayer.
Carbon capture and storage is yet another foolish idea to fleece tax payers and enrich those in the club of climate alarmists profiting from the ignorant and fearful.
The sooner people realize the climate has always changed and will continue to do so the better off we will be. -
Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-06-03 21:54:06 -0400Carney may pass himself off as a banker or economist, but he’s certainly no chemist. The molecules aren’t called hydrocarbons for nothing.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-06-03 20:56:39 -0400Independence is a better term for our movement. Separation sounds negative but independence is so positive. Let’s hope we can get past 50%
support for independence in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. We also must be careful not to appear as complainers but campaigners for a better life. Imagine ALL the money we’d suddenly have being independent from Ottawa. And indigenous reserves will be welcome to join us and get out from that oppressive Indian act. -
Robert Pariseau commented 2025-06-03 20:08:51 -0400The Laurentian elite have an ace in the hole: the indigenous chiefs. And on the two occasions Quebec was dealing with a referendum (each with superbly longwinded and conditional questions), the waning days were met with overcrowded bus routes and flags that could have covered the entirety of the once-legendary Montreal Forum rink.
