Daniel, what kind of activism are you guys going to be doing? Are you going to be lobbying
00:00:02.980
politicians? Is that because, you know, the only way to actually get change is to put on
00:00:08.140
the pressure, you put the pressure on to these guys, whether it's provincial or federal,
00:00:12.240
and eventually they capitulate if you get enough people behind you, right?
00:00:16.020
Yeah, so we're kind of taking things from a bottom up approach as well as a top down approach. So
00:00:19.920
we want to increase our numbers, that gives us power, because at the end of the day,
00:00:24.180
politicians want to be able to get easy votes. And if I have a million plus people on my side,
00:00:29.600
then they're going to take what I say very, very seriously.
00:00:31.980
We want to build out a large organization with a broad base of supporters.
00:00:35.660
As well, we do have a coherent rate remigration plan.
00:00:39.840
We want to build this out into a series of kind of more professional white papers.
00:00:43.280
Right now, they're just kind of summaries on our website,
00:00:45.140
but we're going to flesh them out into more professional white papers
00:00:47.300
so that we can provide them directly to politicians, parties, governments.
00:00:50.580
So as our ideas get more popular, and they're already very popular,
00:00:53.900
according to opinion polls, the large majority want less to no immigration.
00:00:57.460
almost a majority are calling for things like mass deportation.
00:01:00.020
So there is a lot of public support for our ideas.
00:01:02.560
We want to ID those voters and make them more politically active.
00:01:06.200
And as the politicians realize that this is the only way forward,
00:01:09.300
we'll be there ready with our ideas, with our white papers saying, here you go.
00:01:14.600
Maybe they'll pick and choose, but we'll give them those starting points.
00:01:16.900
So we have a top-down approach and a bottom-up approach.
