Daniel, what kind of activism are you guys going to be doing? Are you going to be lobbying
00:00:03.020
politicians? Is that because, you know, the only way to actually get change is to put on
00:00:08.180
the pressure. You put the pressure onto these guys, whether it's provincial or federal,
00:00:12.520
and eventually they capitulate if you get enough people behind you, right?
00:00:16.040
Yeah, so we're kind of taking things from a bottom up approach as well as a top down approach. So
00:00:19.960
we want to increase our numbers. That gives us power because at the end of the day, politicians
00:00:24.640
want to be able to get easy votes. And if I have a million plus people on my side, then they're
00:00:30.080
going to take what I say very, very seriously. We want to build out a large organization with
00:00:34.380
a broad base of supporters. As well, we do have a coherent rate remigration plan. We want to build
00:00:40.380
this out into a series of kind of more professional white papers. Right now, they're just kind of
00:00:44.020
summaries on our website, but we're going to flesh them out into more professional white papers so
00:00:47.580
that we can provide them directly to politicians, parties, governments. So as our ideas get more
00:00:52.000
popular and they were already very popular according to opinion polls the large majority
00:00:55.900
want less to no immigration almost a majority are calling for things like mass deportation so there
00:01:00.280
is a lot of public support for our ideas we want to ID those voters and make them more politically
00:01:05.600
active and as the politicians realize that this is the only way forward we'll be there ready with
00:01:10.500
our ideas with our white papers saying here you go maybe they won't take all of ideas maybe they'll
00:01:14.940
pick and choose but we'll give them those starting points so we have a top-down approach and a bottom-up approach
