00:01:37.540 What we wanted to do today is talk a little about the event that we have,

00:01:42.820 the Teleton.

00:01:44.200 I think we have a great time, isn't it?

00:01:47.880 That was fantastic.

00:01:49.180 Oh, yeah, it was great.

00:01:50.600 I had a good time.

00:01:51.980 Oh, yeah.

00:01:53.160 Yeah.

00:01:53.940 It was good.

00:01:54.400 I can tell you that I also have a good time.

00:01:58.060 And yesterday I was working on my computer, basically uploading the videos, making clips for people to share.

00:02:06.240 That was great.

00:02:07.040 I spent two hours packing my stuff from the studio.

00:02:11.520 That was a lot of work from the basement.

00:02:15.200 So, yeah, that was good.

00:02:17.180 So, basically, I want to talk.

00:02:19.180 I mean, this is like an unplanned video or something.

00:02:22.580 I just want to talk with you guys.

00:02:24.100 what your impressions were from the

00:02:26.220 event if there is anything

00:02:28.280 that you like

00:02:29.200 from your perspective this is freestyle

00:02:32.320 guys

00:02:32.840 well Max you did a really good job with all the technical

00:02:36.220 stuff I just want to say

00:02:37.960 I could not have figured out how to do

00:02:40.320 any of that

00:02:40.880 I think my part of the stream

00:02:44.180 was kind of like amazing

00:02:46.220 that the sound worked out as good as it did

00:02:48.060 but we had some

00:02:49.840 oh yeah

00:02:52.140 and thanks

00:02:52.940 yeah thanks for having the starlink review that's the biggest thing oh my gosh the internet stuff

00:03:02.600 over there in calgary i was so pissed john was actually looking at me and i think

00:03:08.340 eager was with john bolton he made this video like we're under attack that was yeah that was

00:03:16.260 bold yeah and and i and i was i was sitting there watching when this was happening and

00:03:22.060 we thought there was some kind of um nefarious nefarious um control over the internet in the

00:03:29.560 area we were in thinking they were trying to sabotage us but i'm watching max with his

00:03:33.920 mouse and his keyboard clicking here and there and they're eventually getting us back on on the

00:03:38.580 stream but yeah great job max and jaeger jaeger as well from the studio was magical what we did

00:03:46.480 that day a few hiccups early on but through the rest of the day it looked fantastic the guys at

00:03:51.440 critical compass did a great job up in edmonton hey we when i was watching nat and the guy talked

00:03:57.040 to tanya clemens and keith were both in different places tanya was in the studio with us keith was

00:04:02.900 up where he lives and they were in mexico yeah it looked it looked like they were sitting in the

00:04:08.480 same room together it was that good it looks so clear it looks so clean and it's remarkable i i

00:04:14.620 thought when started planning this thing we would put a camera in a room and it would just happen

00:04:19.820 but there were wires and cords and cables going everywhere it was it was quite astounding how much

00:04:24.660 how much tech had to go into putting that on there the other day with oh yeah the 17 different people

00:04:29.660 who hosted through the day and the dozens of different people who came on well do we have

00:04:34.480 a final count yet or because like all the cash bins and everything and there are checks you know

00:04:40.640 i got some i got some email from people who who wrote checks okay they sent checks to different

00:04:46.220 tpas so they likely aren't going to get those for days um i heard from some of the tpas they got

00:04:52.200 some residual effects uh from the uh the telethon over the weekend for instance um uh let alberta

00:04:58.580 to side hit $75,000. So they were at about 70 when we finished or at 75 overall, the final number

00:05:06.480 right now is $140,000. And it's probably, it's probably, it's probably a little more than that

00:05:13.720 because of the aforementioned checks and some other residual stuff, but we'll go with 140 unless

00:05:18.460 we hear from the other third party advertisers that they got more money than normal because,

00:05:23.360 you know, like for instance, you're talking to some of the TPAs on Saturday morning,

00:05:26.760 They might get $400, $500 a day if they're lucky, and they walked away with $17,000 on Saturday.

00:05:34.040 That's a huge amount of money.

00:05:37.080 And, you know, I was talking to Jason Levine.

00:05:39.240 He's buying these big 4x8s now.

00:05:41.540 He said, John, we're buying 4x8 signs because of the money we got on the weekend.

00:05:44.860 We couldn't do it otherwise.

00:05:46.220 One of them's going out to Chris Scott's place.

00:05:48.300 I don't know whether you guys heard, but all of his signs got ripped off.

00:05:51.320 Yes, I heard that.

00:05:52.580 You know, all these tolerant, polite Canadians out there

00:05:55.800 ripping off our stuff, throwing us into the street.

00:05:58.560 For goodness sakes, grow up.

00:06:01.540 Yeah, and that's so funny because what I like about the Teleton is,

00:06:06.600 yeah, the concept of Teleton, that's good.

00:06:09.020 But what I like about the Teleton is the technical aspect

00:06:12.100 because I like the technical stuff.

00:06:14.860 I like to work with technology.

00:06:16.040 Tentacles, did you say tentacles? 0.99

00:06:17.520 Tentacles or was it testicles? 1.00

00:06:20.400 Testicles, yeah. 1.00

00:06:21.460 a little bunch of guys here 0.95

00:06:23.280 sorry man

00:06:25.620 I'm not making fun of you

00:06:27.480 that's fine

00:06:28.620 we all can't talk here

00:06:30.360 isn't that Ben from

00:06:33.240 BC9 still talk about

00:06:35.180 that's fine

00:06:36.540 I just want to say

00:06:38.520 I'm also monitoring the chat at least on my stream

00:06:41.460 and so when people ask questions

00:06:43.600 I told them I would

00:06:45.340 ask it to you guys

00:06:46.400 can I do that? how do I do that? can I watch that too?

00:06:50.220 I'm streaming too

00:06:51.340 aren't i you just gotta have both windows open oh i got i got screens everywhere john i got screens

00:06:57.220 everywhere move mine over here there we go yeah yeah all right if you got any questions ask us

00:07:03.000 yeah that'd be great that's awesome yeah well done yeah one guy one guy's asking already about

00:07:07.340 how we're going to overcome all the misinformation with the separation movement that's making oh

00:07:12.560 oh can i answer that that's going to be fantastic so yeah yeah so yeah yeah so basically for those

00:07:19.400 who are not fully aware i was interviewed by cbc just today they approached me on the 17 while i

00:07:27.040 was installing the studio in calgary they sent me a text because i changed numbers with some cbc people

00:07:34.120 um and basically i have the interview today her name is on my youtube channel by the way you can

00:07:40.660 look that up i one of the conditions that i ask is i'm going to absolutely record every minute you

00:07:48.720 guys are going to say and basically what they were trying to do and i think that's what i was saying

00:07:54.740 i was saying to john just earlier this the earlier today is that the legacy media is absolutely

00:08:03.800 determined to portray independence-minded people as racist and xenophones particularly racist

00:08:12.340 Okay. So they were asking questions about, you know, what exactly is going on? They said, is the movement racist or not? And they said, well, that's basically doesn't make sense because immigrants in general are not people who are in tune in politics that much. That's one.

00:08:32.660 Some cultures, in particular, the Filipino community absolutely hates politics, right?

00:08:39.020 And many other groups as well.

00:08:40.960 And particularly in Africa, they absolutely have a disdain about politics

00:08:45.900 because how they were abused in their home countries, right?

00:08:48.840 So that's why they don't necessarily show up to town hall meetings.

00:08:52.520 And that is what happened.

00:08:54.020 That's what I just said.

00:08:55.640 And they tried me to corner twice about it, you know?

00:09:01.000 And I found that very disingenuous, but I was very polite.

00:09:04.760 I basically said, look, this is what's happening.

00:09:08.020 This is the issue.

00:09:09.740 What you're referring to right now is false.

00:09:13.040 And I also mentioned many times that there are some people that cannot attend

00:09:17.960 talker meetings because if they were found out that they were at a talker

00:09:22.380 meeting, they would lose their jobs or anything or get reprimanded at the

00:09:26.880 workplace.

00:09:27.360 So that's why people watch it online instead of going to an actual town hall meeting.

00:09:32.380 So, and which is really sad because when you think about it, you go like, well, Canada was supposed to be free, right?

00:09:40.140 The Canada that I once knew 20 years ago is no longer there.

00:09:44.980 And that's one of the things I've said to them as well.

00:09:48.100 So this is a point, an argument that you're definitely going to see from now on is that the legacy media is going to absolutely going to go bizarre on us.

00:10:06.900 Yeah, well, and it's kind of my backstory why I decided to start a YouTube channel.

00:10:12.620 the the day i signed the uh the petition i wasn't a youtuber at that point but i was waiting in the

00:10:20.060 long lineup and uh city tv came up and they had their cameras ready and actually i i had my big

00:10:27.200 blue flag with me i was that committed at that point so that that's not something i invented

00:10:32.600 when i became you mean that's not part of your appendages i thought you had that stuck

00:10:36.800 permanently i'll get it yeah so i prepared my mind i was like okay they're gonna come over in

00:10:44.820 like 20 minutes and talk to me and i had like a good like two minute kind of thing that i i think

00:10:50.440 maybe three minutes i gave them and they chopped up all the mouth breathing sections right when i

00:10:55.380 was like oh right that's the part that they that you know that they portrayed me as and then all

00:11:01.800 my friends saw me on the news they're like what the hell but actually my wife recorded it all it's

00:11:06.420 just it's kind of a dark screen on a camera it was night time and you know in january and so

00:11:12.300 but i i was like you know how i'm going to commit or uh combat this misinformation i'm going to

00:11:18.300 speak too and guess what in uh in what four six months now not five or six months i've got an

00:11:26.300 audience of 7 000 people on youtube i've i've had i've had videos get 40 000 views and uh on x i

00:11:33.780 got 10 000 followers and it's like okay you know what i'm not as big as john bolton but this is how

00:11:40.680 i'm gonna do it and this i encourage everybody else to do it get your phone out record videos

00:11:45.820 publish them right i am that's how you yeah yeah oh that's blue oh so blue oh john actually i'm

00:11:57.640 curious about your perspective on this because you used to be in media so you're probably like

00:12:01.820 trained on how to like corner people and get them to to say things he wants to be part of the show

00:12:09.560 i know i love you too buddy i love you too um well to corner people no you know it's funny i don't

00:12:15.260 think we i don't think we did that very often i don't think we wanted to corner people i always

00:12:19.360 wanted to talk to people who wanted to talk to me the media has changed so much there used to be a

00:12:23.860 thing called integrity there used to be a thing called credibility and i there you go oh oh there

00:12:29.220 we go yep now my cat with sales going in front here uh yeah there used to be integrity there

00:12:33.640 used to be credibility in media and it's changed a lot i can i can think of news directors i had

00:12:37.760 a long time ago they wouldn't recognize uh the news media the way it is today um and that's

00:12:43.560 that's kind of sad but yeah um yeah it is very sad yeah and and that's one of the things that

00:12:50.360 like and when i interviewed those guys uh when i interviewed those when i got interviewed on

00:12:57.440 on my text message, I absolutely wrote that I'm going to be recorded, that I'm going to

00:13:03.760 absolutely record the whole thing. And I think they're going to release the clips or the

00:13:09.000 video somewhere next week, but it's already on my YouTube channel. And I made some clips

00:13:15.560 out of it. So if they tend to change things a little bit, it will get enough time to counter

00:13:22.080 narrative to counter

00:13:23.440 to counter attack any

00:13:25.680 disinformation coming

00:13:28.020 from them oh $70 super chat

00:13:30.300 oh hello

00:13:31.300 keep out the good work Max you asked you do

00:13:34.060 incredible work from your friends

00:13:40.080 Barbie over there yeah you gotta 0.87

00:13:42.000 divide that amongst your co-hosts

00:13:44.280 here Max actually

00:13:46.000 if you gave a super

00:13:48.180 chat to John he's gonna get

00:13:50.160 the super chat because he's streaming

00:13:51.620 if you get a super chat to john you don't have to super chat me you don't have to yeah you don't

00:13:57.420 have to do that it's not necessary i i you know it's funny you john talks about having you know

00:14:02.560 he's got a number of uh subscribers here and here and here i don't do anything else i just do youtube

00:14:08.020 i i really haven't branched out all that much i don't like x i don't like social media i think

00:14:13.420 it's a sewer for the most part i stay off social media as much as possible but i just do my i just

00:14:19.100 do youtube and if it stops being fun i'll quit you know it's just yeah that's why i started doing

00:14:23.900 it in the first place right right igor that's why you do it right yeah mr 150 you have 150 000

00:14:30.020 subscribers on your youtube channel man yeah that's true but i need to get people most of the

00:14:37.180 people there are immigrants you know on my youtube channel yeah well those immigrants are people too

00:14:42.920 igor exactly right absolutely two two half of us on this live stream are immigrants i guess

00:14:51.800 two of us and you know it's a i think it was a successful live stream that we did telethon i was

00:14:56.840 you know it was so successful that i even had a conversation with my company today in the morning

00:15:01.480 it was it was hilarious it's people people were calling my employer complaining about telethon

00:15:08.120 geez that's that must be awful do you could you get worried about that john do you worry about

00:15:13.620 what you're doing i know i i talk to you very often and you're up early in the morning getting

00:15:18.540 home late in the afternoon i think you're doing 12 hour shifts do you get concerned about

00:15:22.300 about your um your employment as well well you know actually it's funny because i am self-employed

00:15:28.960 so if anybody ever wanted to cancel me like they would they would basically tell me like hey uh

00:15:35.600 we don't like that guy and then i'd be like hey it's working on you know what i mean yeah yeah

00:15:42.880 i love it i do have that kind of an edge but uh you know i suppose the trolls could come out of

00:15:49.120 the woodworks uh you know yeah uh they they find creative ways of doing things like smashing

00:15:54.700 windows for example that is oh yeah you know i i've thought twice about yeah well i've thought

00:16:02.640 twice about making myself too visible because of that i published a video about it this morning or

00:16:07.600 yesterday yesterday uh about what happened to cool shit red deer right yeah yeah yeah so i mean

00:16:15.380 look and there have been probably 10 incidences that i've heard about of like actual violence or

00:16:23.320 or intimidation like that uh against us and there's probably a lot more i've heard stories

00:16:29.400 of people not wanting to report it to but um like i like has it happened on our side like let's be

00:16:36.380 honest like i don't think it has well i was talking uh who was i talking to why did you not

00:16:41.500 hear did you not hear from from cool that the police basically told him well both sides are

00:16:47.240 doing this so they weren't going to report that is that what you heard or somebody or was that

00:16:51.820 told to somebody on uh on saturday because uh cool was in in calgary or sorry in airdrie as

00:16:57.960 well the other night right they were there and i think they were told wow your guys do it too so

00:17:02.440 we're not going to bother looking into it which is ridiculous that's bogus and if it's a crime

00:17:06.820 you look into it that's what you do you don't you don't make your decision on what you uh what you

00:17:11.240 investigate based on stuff like that but no we're not doing this this has got nothing to do with

00:17:15.240 this nobody i know would do something like that would be so intolerant impolite and and violent

00:17:21.240 like that and we're not doing that kind of thing blue stop yeah i think it's mainly they're searching

00:17:26.880 for excuses not to investigate or something because it's that's what they've been doing to

00:17:31.860 me as well they're like well it's back and forth to this on somebody with social media so we are

00:17:36.540 not going to be doing that kind of investigation or something like that it's uh yeah i heard this

00:17:41.540 kind of stories from from different police departments but i think they probably got to

00:17:46.000 someone because someone has just deleted all their posts about me for some reason uh without

00:17:51.640 explanation after talking to detectives so it's interesting oh nice i haven't encountered much

00:17:58.420 like that myself i really haven't you know i've been out i've been out places where you know i've

00:18:02.820 had a camera i dropped by uh who was it oh it was albertans for freedom which is a great third

00:18:08.340 party advertiser by the way if you can support them there are a bunch of the coordinators of

00:18:12.880 the petition campaign here in calgary and they're focusing on calgary great people i was out with

00:18:17.420 them a week or so ago and they were handing out signs they've got really nice signs i've got one

00:18:22.600 in my front front lawn and i was taking a picture and one of the girls ran out of the picture and i

00:18:27.300 and she's i got to get out of the picture she was concerned about repercussions should she be seen

00:18:32.020 by her employer which i think is pretty sad oh yeah yeah i know i know people oh go ahead yeah 1.00

00:18:38.680 let me just interrupt you i'm saying that on arrangements there was a bunch of chinese ladies

00:18:45.640 who were supporting Alberta independence 0.70

00:18:47.720 and they couldn't get any of their interviews

00:18:49.460 because they were afraid to be on camera. 0.97

00:18:51.720 So that's one of the reasons people are not noticing any immigrants 0.73

00:18:54.760 because I came to those three Chinese ladies that were there.

00:18:58.400 There was another guy, I think, also.

00:19:00.560 But they're Albertans, basically, but their ethnicity.

00:19:03.740 I think Chinese, I might be wrong,

00:19:05.780 but I wanted to interview them.

00:19:07.020 And I'm like, hey, can I interview you?

00:19:08.220 Because we need to show that it's not only white people. 0.60

00:19:10.600 They're like, oh, no, no, no, we don't want to be on camera. 0.63

00:19:13.140 We're just here to support.

00:19:14.420 we want independence but we don't want to be on camera we don't want anyone to know about it

00:19:17.940 so that's one of the one of one of the things and uh one of the feedback that they told me they

00:19:22.840 don't want kent to become communist country that they left uh you know it's they're saying that

00:19:27.920 they left communism and that's what it's becoming and they don't want that to be happening here

00:19:31.560 so that's what they told me that's another feedback i'm getting too from i met this

00:19:38.100 individual i'm not i'm not going to tell where he works i know where he works he probably watches

00:19:42.440 the channel. When I met it first time, firsthand, he was talking about politics and politics and

00:19:50.220 politics. And right off the bat, because he heard me a conversation with some people with

00:19:56.000 Lesak, Alberta, he approached me and said, I absolutely in favor of Alberta independence.

00:20:03.020 And basically what he said is that when the communist state took over, when the communist

00:20:08.380 regime took over about 30 years ago that's when he left moving back to move to canada and that's

00:20:14.700 what he was saying is that the people in canada just so naive about things are going on and

00:20:22.140 canadians in general not necessarily very informed of politics uh so he was in favor of albert

00:20:29.060 independence i invited to a town hall meeting and he decided no because he had he feared he

00:20:35.740 actually fears that his family who still lives in China will get unalive because of his support

00:20:42.880 of Alberta independence. So that's a common thing. We can learn something from this because

00:20:48.680 I'm trying to think what the name of the phenomenon is when it comes to election campaigns.

00:20:54.380 But I think when it comes to polls, I think this will play into polls as well. People do not want

00:21:01.440 to say yes i'm in favor of albert oh yeah because they're you know they're worried about um about

00:21:07.180 revealing that information so you know the poll numbers could be significantly higher simply

00:21:11.160 because of a large percentage of the people who are scared um to be part of what we're part of

00:21:17.080 you know so think about that as well well you know another kind of perspective i have on this

00:21:22.780 i've handed out a bunch of lawn signs in my neighborhood and so just for perspective there's

00:21:28.980 there's like 15 forever canada signs in my neighborhood now and it's a little bit intimidating

00:21:35.460 honestly because you know i got well i got my sign up and it's sitting right underneath my

00:21:39.980 my ring doorbell and there's another neighbor that's got a couple with his cameras like

00:21:44.620 obviously pointed at it but i handed out some others and they're all gone now and and and i

00:21:50.840 want to go to those people again and ask because like i know them and i haven't done it yet but

00:21:54.740 Like, I don't think they would have taken those signs down.

00:21:57.920 I think someone went around my neighborhood scooping them up.

00:22:01.240 And it's like, you know, if that's what's happening, well, we just got to keep doing it.

00:22:08.980 But, yeah, put them under a camera.

00:22:11.680 The best video clip is one of these guys running up and doing something to the sign, which is actually why there's a viral clip going around right now.

00:22:20.860 I think Fringe shared it.

00:22:21.920 I kind of want to call it out.

00:22:23.360 like a dog peeing on one of the forever canada signs it's like you know what actually that's

00:22:28.000 that's funny as hell but like let's not do that yeah no i understand no yeah yeah absolutely yeah

00:22:35.520 and i heard cory cory actually told me that like 20 of his signs end up missing 20 oh well then i

00:22:43.280 can testify to that because there's four of them that were up a week ago when i handed them out

00:22:47.840 and now they're not there anymore i drove by just to like see them and it's like

00:22:51.760 all the forever canada ones are still up and they're and they're not even like hidden they're

00:22:56.240 like right up by the sidewalk like you could easily just like accidentally even knock it over

00:23:02.080 and uh they're they're that close to the sidewalk and then the other ones are like one was right in

00:23:07.040 the corner kind of back about 10 feet from the sidewalk and you could see it from both sides

00:23:13.040 because it was a corner a lot gone do you mind i'm just gonna i'm gonna fill out my mug i'll

00:23:17.920 I'll be back in like 30 seconds.

00:23:19.220 Is that cool?

00:23:20.160 Yeah, sure thing.

00:23:21.240 Can we do that?

00:23:22.260 This is weird for me because I was a broadcaster for a long time.

00:23:25.060 I would never leave the broadcast in the middle.

00:23:28.520 I couldn't leave the room unless I put on a long song 1.00

00:23:30.760 and I had to go to the little men's room, you know. 1.00

00:23:32.880 I'd put on Don McLean, American Pie, 0.65

00:23:35.100 and then run off for 8 minutes, 26 seconds with the sustained ending.

00:23:38.140 I'll be right back.

00:23:38.840 I'll hang on a second.

00:23:39.400 Okay, Olivia.

00:23:40.800 It's so good on live streams.

00:23:42.700 I got a question from my viewers.

00:23:44.520 They want to know if Alberta gets its independence, which province do you think would be next?

00:23:50.400 And I'll just say, like, I honestly think there's a reasonable chance Quebec might actually beat us out.

00:23:57.960 I don't think they're going to beat Alberta.

00:24:02.020 And I will tell you why, because I used to live there for 20 years.

00:24:07.240 Okay.

00:24:07.580 The independence movement, as it is right now in Quebec, has been hijacked by the pro-Palestine people, the leftist people, the Green Agenda people.

00:24:19.780 It has been basically hijacked by leftists.

00:24:22.820 The current form of independence over there has been completely hijacked.

00:24:29.840 To put it in another perspective, the independence movement in Quebec is basically the opposite from a dialogical standpoint from the movement over there that we have here.

00:24:43.940 There's a difference for that as well, too, because if you look at what's happening in Alberta, the independence movement started almost from the moment the federal government created Alberta.

00:24:57.140 Alberta never joined Confederation. Look that up, guys.

00:25:00.740 Quebec actually has the same trend, but they historically worshipped ever since the 1960s this form of big government nanny state.

00:25:12.600 They started to worship and trying to become this socialist super state.

00:25:19.860 But eventually what happened with socialist states is that eventually they run out of money, i.e. they're going to run out of Alberta's money because nobody is going to come from Alberta from equalization payments and they're going to basically die off.

00:25:35.700 So I don't think Quebec will separate anytime soon.

00:25:40.480 I believe that if they were to separate, they will have to do what we do have here.

00:25:46.240 The independence movement here in Alberta, it's much different than the one in Quebec significantly because in here it's more becoming a country from an entrepreneurial lifestyle, pretty much similar to the Americans.

00:26:00.380 So they're different in a sense.

00:26:02.560 So I don't think Quebec will necessarily survive if they become their own country.

00:26:06.760 well one guy from quebec told me that the equalization money actually um it's what's

00:26:14.360 keeping the independence movement in quebec from happening because you think 13 billion dollars a

00:26:20.440 year that's a lot of corruption that that empowers right and so a lot of the separatists there they

00:26:27.540 actually resent that they receive that money because they know that they could reorganize

00:26:33.060 their government and their society

00:26:35.340 in a way that would be productive enough 0.93

00:26:37.120 to pay for all the things they want.

00:26:39.060 They'd probably have to cut some socialism a little bit,

00:26:41.320 but they have a lot of resources.

00:26:43.080 They have more resources than we do.

00:26:45.280 Like, it's a bigger province. They've got different

00:26:47.160 resources, you know, but they've got

00:26:49.120 a lot of stuff.

00:26:52.660 There's a

00:26:53.140 saying when it comes to

00:26:55.040 well, I won't, you can look

00:26:57.020 it up, but why buy the cow

00:26:59.080 when you can get the milk for free, right?

00:27:00.840 Why go full on independence

00:27:03.000 It's when Alberta's providing you with all of the money for your province right now.

00:27:08.100 I love that picture.

00:27:09.120 And it goes back to 1932, and you've probably seen it, of the West feeding the cow and the

00:27:15.260 East milking the cow.

00:27:16.660 It's from 1932.

00:27:19.040 It's almost 100 years old, that cartoon, if you've seen it.

00:27:22.080 And it's still true today.

00:27:23.540 It's really remarkable.

00:27:25.280 But yeah, Quebec has benefited greatly from the 95 referendum.

00:27:29.460 I was there at the time, and I remember what it was like.

00:27:32.240 And it's so odd for me because I was living in Cornwall, Ontario.

00:27:35.880 There was a guy back then, his name, what was his name now?

00:27:38.300 He was a liberal politician, and he set up a bunch of buses to leave from eastern Ontario

00:27:43.720 to go over to Montreal for the big unity rally a few days before the vote in 95, and I went. 0.99

00:27:49.060 And it was, stay, please, we love you, Quebec, and now everybody's you bastard traitors, Alberta. 0.97

00:27:55.980 And it's unbelievable the way things are different here compared to out there 0.99

00:28:00.160 and what was going on with Quebec.

00:28:02.240 and i voted yeah i vote and i and i was in favor yeah there you go thank you very much i was i was

00:28:08.080 in favor of quebec staying but i would never be that way now and be just as happy for them to

00:28:12.980 leave but that's a great picture and that is true yeah that's true you know i i honestly think that

00:28:18.460 once alberta leaves i i think saskatchewan is going to join us very shortly okay because here's

00:28:24.900 the thing everybody's kind of talking about this as though alberta's going to leave and then

00:28:29.300 everything in canada is going to still try to like be the same and that's not true that's not

00:28:33.500 how you should think of it it's like that's going to be such a shock to everything that literally

00:28:38.240 everything is going to be up for grabs like what whatever the supreme court says about provinces

00:28:44.440 not being able to split in half that's all out the window right like northern bc absolutely if

00:28:51.120 alberta leaves that is definitely on the table you know if there's a country that says hey you

00:28:57.700 can join us and the supreme courts a country's already split everything is going to start

00:29:03.800 changing saskatchewan's going to join us quebec will probably finally realize hey we're out and

00:29:09.580 then i think bc is going to join us and like it's just going to be even the borders like even parts

00:29:15.360 of quebec that really shouldn't be part of quebec or maybe should be like parts of new brunswick

00:29:19.740 should probably be part of quebec because they speak french maybe maybe those will get kind of

00:29:24.440 souped in together and who's like everything's going to change yeah okay there is a common

00:29:30.260 canadian spiderman is saying that i was there for the quebec referendum in 95 to john all the posts

00:29:36.680 and news were reporting the separation side was around 30 turned out to be almost 50 it was it

00:29:43.120 was that night igor i was watching it the the the vote was changing by hundreds of a vote

00:29:49.480 for and against all night long and it was I think it was just it was 51 49 or even in within two

00:29:57.640 percentage points it was unbelievable how close it was I even remember I think it was 80 when they

00:30:04.360 had the first one Rene Levesque was the leader of that and I remember him standing in the forum they

00:30:09.820 only got about I think in the 30 percent range and some you know we can check it here in just a

00:30:13.600 moment I remember him standing in the forum tears running down his face because they lost that vote

00:30:18.220 I remember that one as well.

00:30:19.480 I was about 15, 16 years old when that one happened.

00:30:22.340 But, yeah, it came very close.

00:30:23.820 And I was watching the numbers up and down, just back and forth, just on a knife's edge the whole night.

00:30:30.100 It was really quite remarkable.

00:30:31.440 They were very close, very close.

00:30:33.700 Yeah.

00:30:34.000 And by the way, there's a documentary.

00:30:35.860 You can look that up, guys.

00:30:37.360 This is from the Canadian National Film Awards.

00:30:41.760 It's called, it's a French documentary, but the translated version is called The Comfort and the Indifference,

00:30:50.900 which is basically how the Quebec referendum vote happened and basically explained,

00:30:58.500 basically what we're doing right now is to explain on that movie.

00:31:02.900 And what kind of pushed me personally to do videos on independence is because I wanted to eventually be able to explain

00:31:11.320 to future generations, exactly what happened,

00:31:14.980 we will have an actual film record

00:31:19.440 of all the town hall meetings that happened

00:31:22.200 across Alberta, so we can eventually document

00:31:25.940 those things and eventually they're probably

00:31:27.860 going to be in National Archives and probably

00:31:29.860 our videos that we'll make right now

00:31:31.800 and even John Bolton's videos and John's videos

00:31:35.100 and Igor's video will potentially be

00:31:37.440 part of the archives somewhere, which is kind of funny.

00:31:40.320 I can see people in a hundred years watching all our videos.

00:31:43.700 So that would be incredible.

00:31:45.500 That would be amazing.

00:31:47.980 No, it's, you know, I'm actually, you know, surprised by seeing all the news and everything.

00:31:52.200 It's like, you know, building carbon capturing facilities and, you know, all that carbon tax.

00:31:57.400 We have 950 carbon capturing facilities on fire in Canada right now.

00:32:02.640 You know, why are we paying tax on it?

00:32:04.860 Like literally making more emissions in one week probably than all the years.

00:32:08.760 you know i was just watching your clip on x about that oh man it's like yeah i just made it before

00:32:16.480 the live stream i wanted to make a longer video but i was like you know it's only three minutes

00:32:21.100 long yeah well i mean the carbon capture thing and i was talking about that this morning and

00:32:25.600 and it's interesting i mean carney hasn't changed at all when it comes to his climate change

00:32:30.200 at all it's just he's changed the narrative before it was keep oil and gas in the ground

00:32:35.240 do you guys remember carbon offsets do you remember in that one that was yes that was

00:32:40.580 yeah i don't think it's i don't think it's as prevalent as it used to be there used to be these

00:32:45.420 companies that would pop up and they say hi we're green eco and give us some money if you're feeling

00:32:51.100 guilty about flying in a plane and spreading carbon dioxide in the atmosphere give us some

00:32:56.160 money we'll plant a couple of trees it was a scam it was a rip off and this is what was happening

00:33:00.860 back then. It's kind of gone underground, but now Mark Carney has switched from let's keep oil and

00:33:06.320 gas in the ground to carbon offsets. That's what he's doing now. You can have a pipeline. Well,

00:33:12.080 he never talks positively about a pipeline, but he talks positively about carbon capture

00:33:18.360 and about industrial carbon taxing. And he talks about keeping methane in the ground

00:33:22.880 and that's his carbon offsets. That's what he's doing now. And it's on an industrial scale now,

00:33:28.060 this scam. You're talking about billions of dollars. And are we going to get a pipeline out

00:33:34.020 of this? Not likely, but that's what Mark Carney has pivoted to. And I don't think people have

00:33:38.300 caught onto that. That's exactly what he's doing. He's carbon offsetting now and it's costing

00:33:42.900 taxpayers $43 billion for a pipeline, but $30 billion for a carbon capture utilization and

00:33:48.660 storage and all the money that's spent when it comes to industrial carbon taxing, an extra $10

00:33:53.260 to 15 dollars extra on every barrel of oil that comes out of this country making us uncompetitive

00:33:58.220 that's what carney's doing he is still mr net zero this is still his religion this is what he

00:34:04.120 is about and many people in the liberal party as well and this is the reason why we don't have nice

00:34:08.580 things guys this is exactly yeah and you know that's funny yeah go ahead max yeah as i was

00:34:16.100 talking with the CBC interviewer today, I was basically mentioning what flipped me to go to

00:34:24.780 convince me to pursue independence in a higher degree. What I've said is basically that ever

00:34:32.660 since I started to gravitate in the grassroots here in Alberta, I met people who talked to me

00:34:38.440 about the National Energy Program,

00:34:40.560 how it killed the business,

00:34:43.120 how they destroyed farms.

00:34:46.580 Some people committed.

00:34:47.980 I met this family that I know.

00:34:51.740 Their neighbors right across the street,

00:34:55.000 they basically become the basic community.

00:34:59.460 Everybody's got an animal.

00:35:00.800 Max, get your animal.

00:35:01.960 You got an animal there?

00:35:04.180 No, I don't.

00:35:06.700 I love your dog, John.

00:35:08.440 what's your dog's name his name's ricky but in spanish it's ricardo you can roll your god dog

00:35:14.680 rico suave sorry max sorry yeah that's fine so basically i i started to notice

00:35:24.120 certain patterns and uh i know people who told me that they knew p they knew people who committed

00:35:30.440 suicide after the nep was depleted in canada and now with this whole thing with the mou that was

00:35:38.040 signed, that is effectively the NEP version two. And we're going to see a lot of jobs

00:35:44.860 leaving because of that. It's almost like Mark Carney is deliberately destroying this

00:35:51.760 economy to install a new one, which is a net zero, new world order, CBDC type of thing.

00:36:00.560 you know very nasty thing and the and all those things and that that can only be resolved by

00:36:07.600 Alberta living in Canada I think because Canada is basically right now a sinking ship it's not 0.64

00:36:13.280 the country I grew up 20 years ago and I'll give an example about that as well too when I was

00:36:19.640 living in Montreal I was probably 13 14 years old one of the things I was doing after school

00:36:26.940 was to take the subway because I like

00:36:29.180 subways, I like trains, like the

00:36:31.100 meme, you know, and I was going

00:36:33.020 by myself, I have like,

00:36:34.860 I used to have like a pass, we can go

00:36:36.940 all over the place in Montreal,

00:36:38.860 all over, take the subway, take the

00:36:41.040 bus, whatever you want, so I took the

00:36:42.980 subway, and

00:36:44.220 that's how I learned about

00:36:46.960 the underground

00:36:48.740 malls that they have in Montreal, it's quite impressive,

00:36:51.780 they have an entire,

00:36:52.660 the entire downtown Montreal is pretty much

00:36:54.720 underground, and that's how

00:36:56.600 started to know the place and nowadays it is back then you can run there you can walk there without

00:37:04.820 any fear that will you'll be uh it'll be that somebody's gonna steal from you anything and

00:37:10.200 everything nowadays everybody's is getting uh is getting fentanyl everybody's getting drug

00:37:17.360 everybody has drug reviews over there everybody has a range over there we used to call wash in

00:37:24.200 montreal if you heard that in montreal we call it watch that is basically using the same syringe

00:37:29.560 all over all over all over and all over again to needle you up we call that wash in montreal so

00:37:36.140 there's a lot of washing that happened and when you go to downtown montreal those syringes

00:37:41.860 everywhere and even the place that i consider myself that i consider safe back in the days

00:37:47.400 is a complete mess right now so these are the policies that are being affected and at least

00:37:52.660 montreal one and and i know because i i drove i flew to montreal a couple years back to see my

00:37:58.580 friends there is a complete mess over there well you know i'm worried about i'm worried about i

00:38:04.180 think i wish the juno news i think it was in the morning or something and they had an interview i

00:38:08.420 think with jeff ruff or someone about chinese interference in alberta independence yeah you

00:38:13.300 know trying to stop alberta independence and claiming that chinese interference into politics

00:38:18.420 to keep Alberta in Canada.

00:38:20.540 What do you think about that, Max?

00:38:26.660 You think there is some?

00:38:28.940 My personal thinking, I think there might be some.

00:38:32.160 Yeah.

00:38:32.820 I think, I mean, if you look at the country as it is Canada right now,

00:38:38.620 I mean, why would you worry about Alberta not becoming its own country?

00:38:47.840 In other words, if you're outside, if you're an investor who has a great deal of interest in Canada,

00:38:56.100 why exactly do you want Alberta to separate from Canada?

00:39:01.940 So, you know, one thing I think about this is we talk about a lot of these issues,

00:39:06.700 and they're huge issues, right?

00:39:10.140 Pipelines and drugs and all these things.

00:39:13.680 There's lots of these issues.

00:39:14.820 um but it seems like the biggest issue to me is more foundational it's it's uh our it's about

00:39:24.600 freedom it's about setting up a country that is actually designed from the beginning to limit

00:39:31.300 corruption to guarantee our rights and freedoms uh and and to be set up in a way that we can all

00:39:38.480 prosper uh the idea of founding a nation to me is what gets me excited yeah because like honestly

00:39:44.680 if we separate just because we don't we want a couple okay give me a hundred pipelines i i don't

00:39:50.840 care i don't we're gonna get it we're you know i want to i want to live in a country where i know

00:39:56.240 i have free speech guaranteed my rights shall not be infringed bodily autonomy uh freedom of religion

00:40:02.120 I don't want ever to be told that, you know, my Christian faith is going to be something that could get me in jail.

00:40:11.060 Oh, yeah, that is absolutely, if you look at, and even if you quote scripture, if you quote scripture, like if you go on Leviticus 19.20 or even 1 Corinthians 7.8, you know, like.

00:40:25.020 well i think i made it about that far in your interview because i did i told you didn't watch

00:40:28.900 the whole thing yet but she was asking you something like what you can't quote or something

00:40:33.540 like that and i and i was just thinking like something to that effect and i was just thinking

00:40:38.020 to myself like the example that the minister who's putting this bill forward that he used

00:40:44.960 were were quotes from the bible he didn't quote from the quran he didn't quote from anything else

00:40:50.720 he quoted he was like these verses in the bible are hate speech and then of course you read the

00:40:56.420 the bill and you're like okay well that's it's not obviously quoting that it's much more generalized

00:41:01.200 yeah the guy who created it had that in mind when he did it and so i want to live in a country where

00:41:07.240 it's like my rights are guaranteed and and like what kind of a prosperous society can we build

00:41:11.700 out of that like we're we're we have nothing but good ideas albertans are full of them but we can't

00:41:17.720 We can't do anything about it because all the power is in Ottawa.

00:41:21.100 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:41:22.580 Yeah, let's talk about the Teleton for a second because I think, how much money do we have?

00:41:28.020 $140,000, John?

00:41:31.380 Yeah, the last time I counted, let me think.

00:41:36.180 I had it written down here, but it's not near me now.

00:41:38.600 Yeah, the last time I had it counted, we were at $140,000, so pretty good.

00:41:44.380 And you know what?

00:41:45.380 I'm not going to say it's $150,000, but I think the residuals over the last 24 hours after probably got us about $150,000.

00:41:52.660 I saw people stuff in those jars.

00:41:53.800 Yeah.

00:41:55.260 There's a couple thousand dollars in those jars.

00:41:57.620 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:58.160 I think $150,000.

00:41:59.720 Yeah, that's good. 0.62

00:42:01.620 Actually, I will say something that is not going to be pleasing for a lot of people, but I'm chilly and I'm blonde, so I don't care.

00:42:09.080 That's not a lot of money, guys.

00:42:09.720 Did you just say you're blonde?

00:42:10.900 You say you're blonde? 1.00

00:42:12.140 I'm very blunt. 0.96

00:42:13.740 And yes, I was born blunt too.

00:42:15.840 That's kind of cool.

00:42:17.520 Yeah, I'm blunt and direct.

00:42:19.260 That's not a lot of money because if you take a look.

00:42:22.940 It's not enough.

00:42:23.940 I agree.

00:42:24.460 It's not enough money.

00:42:25.040 No.

00:42:25.260 It's not enough money.

00:42:26.140 It's not enough money.

00:42:27.420 And I'll tell you this.

00:42:28.340 So just consider a regular town hall meeting.

00:42:32.580 So normally a regular town hall meeting, the venue is about $800, $900.

00:42:37.440 Insurance is about $300.

00:42:39.580 Gas money for the speakers.

00:42:41.600 The coffee, the waters, the water bottles, the cream, maybe security.

00:42:48.920 We have to dispatch security in some state-free Alberta events.

00:42:52.940 So it is not surprising.

00:42:54.380 So a regular 100 person, 100 people town hall meeting is in the average of $7,000 on average.

00:43:09.580 So if the guys from Let's Talk Alberta, they do three times a day, three times a week,

00:43:15.920 if all those TPAs, they organize a meeting, like two meetings every two weeks, every week,

00:43:23.420 that money will be gone in a month.

00:43:26.340 So that's what's important to contribute as much as you're possible to do this.

00:43:32.820 So $140,000 across all TPAs is not enough.

00:43:41.700 And even the signs that Corey Morgan is giving to people,

00:43:48.160 just this small one, I think it's like $4, $4 cost.

00:43:52.440 So each sign that you see is basically $5 each.

00:43:57.000 That's about it.

00:43:57.780 So when Chris Scott got his signs removed or whatever, or destroyed,

00:44:05.300 that's basically about $50 right off the bat at worst that was actually burned.

00:44:11.480 Now we're talking about the big signs.

00:44:13.220 I don't know how much it's going to cost, but I would assume from a quoting perspective

00:44:17.520 that would be somewhere about $800, about $1,000, about $200, just big signs.

00:44:23.440 like even my science for freedom can or microplast ones i paid 70 each i got four

00:44:29.040 so go goes like money goes and again yeah yeah in campaign mode money is everything so

00:44:40.100 yes we amassed we amassed 145 000 it looks like a big picture based on what i've seen on the ground

00:44:47.860 based on what i've seen how things are going with those stone cold minics and everything and

00:44:52.180 everything look at it i just look at the logistics side of things that's nothing that money will be

00:44:58.180 spent in a month in a month yeah even less oh yeah so so that's why it's important guys even today

00:45:06.660 even even though the television is done go to alberta albertatelton.com is that right john

00:45:12.100 correct me if i'm wrong albertatelton.com still yeah yeah go in there and ship some money because

00:45:20.820 Because that money that we amassed, yeah, it's a good starting point, but that's nothing.

00:45:25.440 That's nothing.

00:45:26.800 They're running on shoe budgets right now, compared to what we have from the CBC, who

00:45:34.380 had basically, who had almost unlimited budgets now.

00:45:38.280 So we're basically in a situation where it's David against Goliath, in a sense.

00:45:43.700 And although $145,000 is good, it's not enough.

00:45:48.380 It's not enough.

00:45:49.480 It's not enough.

00:45:50.180 and now well and like here's the thing you know there's lots of movements that what do you think

00:45:55.140 john what do you think john there's there's lots of things asking for your money all the time right

00:46:01.220 lots of good causes out there but uh if if you believe in independence this is the once in a

00:46:06.980 lifetime opportunity that you know this is our one chance and if if you're if you're able to donate

00:46:13.860 donate if you're able to volunteer that's really helpful too there's a guy in my chat saying that

00:46:19.220 he can't get signs in his area and i was reading that i'm like well you could volunteer you could

00:46:25.220 send an email to uh jason levine or cory morgan or or one of these other groups and they will put

00:46:32.180 sign you up as a volunteer they'll drop off you know a hundred signs with you and then you can

00:46:37.300 go and deliver those in your neighborhood uh the way i've done it a few times i've just posted up

00:46:43.220 at a parking lot somewhere and uh and then you know drive by and hand them out people have done

00:46:48.980 that in red gear is helping a guy do that yeah so we got to get creative with this but um volunteer

00:46:56.740 and donate this is once a month volunteers right i'm a dozen well yeah what's up i'm going to be

00:47:04.500 running away for an appointment and i think i have to remove my plywood from here before it rains also

00:47:10.740 But thank you so much for doing the live stream, guys.

00:47:14.200 Let's do this again.

00:47:15.500 So people are saying to my stream, hey, we should do this more often.

00:47:18.340 So let's do this again.

00:47:19.720 Yeah.

00:47:20.800 And Igor, we'll miss you when you're gone.

00:47:24.140 We're going to miss you.

00:47:26.200 We'll make it again very soon.

00:47:27.760 Thank you so much.

00:47:28.460 Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

00:47:29.060 Let's do it.

00:47:30.000 Absolutely.

00:47:31.760 Thanks, Igor.

00:47:33.300 Yeah, absolutely.

00:47:34.240 But that's what he's saying.

00:47:34.960 I'm already planning another fundraiser.

00:47:37.520 Oh, and by the way, I'm going to...

00:47:40.720 it's a little, it's going to be different, but it's not going to be a telethon. That's one you

00:47:46.280 can't go to very often. That one, that was the reason why I think that it worked and it was

00:47:51.320 successful is because, you know, a lot of people don't even know what a hell a telethon is. It's

00:47:55.320 not done very often anymore, but it was, and it was big. It was grand. It was, there were a lot

00:47:59.760 of moving pieces and moving parts in that. And I think people really enjoyed it. So I had fun doing

00:48:04.820 it, but it was a lot of work. Hey, Max, I mean, you were there all day. You were there the whole

00:48:09.300 day before that you were planning days in advance so yeah yeah but i'm working on something else

00:48:14.480 right now i want to see if we're gonna raise some more yeah absolutely but my point is still

00:48:17.660 yeah yeah yes i hear you there john oh you might want to read you might want to come back in uh

00:48:25.000 this happens in stream yard every once in a while you lose the audio yeah i can't hear either of you

00:48:30.180 guys okay maybe it's working on me get out i can hear all three yeah i can actually hear everybody

00:48:37.860 so that's good okay oh john's yeah well i was gonna ask him why not why he doesn't want to

00:48:43.620 do the telethon again he'll come back in a second yeah yeah absolutely honestly i think i thought

00:48:49.600 that was a great success and and now we now people know what to expect right because the first time

00:48:55.720 we did it it was a little bit of a kind of a shotgun kind of thing we didn't really know what

00:49:00.380 was going to happen and now we got the website set up and it's going to be there for a long time

00:49:05.560 we can do this again.

00:49:07.820 Oh, John just came back

00:49:09.760 online.

00:49:11.620 What happened? We should do the

00:49:13.620 telethon again.

00:49:14.560 I know you got lots of good ideas.

00:49:17.900 Yeah, absolutely.

00:49:19.580 Actually, that's kind of funny, because

00:49:21.420 now we're talking about the telethon, and the

00:49:23.480 show is about the tiny bits of telethon.

00:49:26.260 What is the most

00:49:27.420 complicated thing about

00:49:29.640 this telethon?

00:49:32.280 Well, you know,

00:49:33.280 I know what you're going to say, Max,

00:49:35.280 but getting 17 hosts and all those people in the right place at the right time over several weeks

00:49:43.280 was pretty complicated. And you know what? I was sitting on Friday night thinking, I sent out

00:49:48.500 messages to the people who had to be in studios or on remotes to different places. Here's where

00:49:55.680 you need to be at this time. You're going to get a link. Here's your link. I did all of that stuff

00:50:01.320 the day before and that was a follow-up to what I'd already told them to ensure they were there

00:50:05.600 and I was wondering on Friday if everybody was going to be in the right place and everybody was

00:50:10.040 everybody found the right place to be it was great we had a good party out at uh at Paul's Pizza I

00:50:16.480 think they were pretty pleased I think they probably had a lot of people in there that night

00:50:20.080 so it was pretty complicated overall to get it done and that and that was all doing done over

00:50:25.540 probably six weeks when they first started six weeks before so yeah yeah absolutely on there

00:50:31.660 what about you john what about you john what was the question again my question is there what is

00:50:38.540 the most complicated i got there's some trolls in my in my yeah that's fine yeah my question is

00:50:44.540 my question is what is the most complicated thing that you saw or the the some these the main source

00:50:51.700 of stress of this telethon okay well so look i want to take this chance to apologize to al

00:50:59.780 uh al burton because uh we didn't communicate very well what was going to happen and we had

00:51:06.680 different ideas i think he thought he was going to walk around talking to people in the crowd

00:51:11.380 and i thought i was going to have my camera streaming from one location and so he had a mic

00:51:18.700 and i had a mic and he was walking around their lapel mic so he could be all the way across the

00:51:23.360 field and still talking to me like he's right in the face john is like it worked out just fine it

00:51:29.320 was like i don't know five minutes of my stream were pretty much unbearable and then i i guess

00:51:35.300 he kind of tuned out but then i dominated the whole thing and i was like well i gotta keep

00:51:39.960 talking i gotta keep talking i couldn't see where he was and uh you know and then so then when i

00:51:45.680 finally saw him, my wife was like, let him talk, let him talk. And I'm like, he got like five

00:51:50.520 minutes at the end. I'm like, okay, but you know what? That's exactly what we learned. So I want

00:51:55.560 to, I really want to do it again. Cause now Alan and I like, we're going to be the A team when we

00:52:00.020 do that again. Well, what we should do is this, let me give you an idea here. Let's not do that,

00:52:04.680 but maybe we could do a telethon, but not have it the way we did it. Why don't we do this? Well,

00:52:11.340 let's let's rent a big place let's put cameras everywhere but you don't have to be host you

00:52:17.540 could have a host or people on cameras at times and interviews and stuff like that but people can

00:52:22.040 watch the event but they also can participate and let's have a beer and wings party for everybody

00:52:27.080 and everybody can come out and party and we just we bring out all the best wings and everybody

00:52:32.740 eats beer and wings and stuff like that and and we can and people can contribute through watching

00:52:38.900 the stream online or something like that oh yeah and it doesn't have to be as structured this time

00:52:44.300 and everybody likes beer and wings folks so let's do something like that a big party for everybody

00:52:49.660 all of the all of the people like you and me and max and fringe and all those people can come out

00:52:54.740 let's all meet each other let's have a good old time we'll have a band playing in the background

00:52:58.180 all night rocking and rolling playing some country music and we'll have a beer and wings night or

00:53:03.280 something like that and invite 500 people out i don't know yeah yeah so you're talking about a

00:53:08.660 fundraising activity at a location not necessarily like a telethon per se but you should do like for

00:53:15.180 instance an event in Edmonton another fundraising event in Category you could do that in different

00:53:20.640 places you know just have cameras and then maybe one camera where you can have people come up and

00:53:25.540 you can interview people and have some fun and people can watch at home I don't know something

00:53:28.520 like oh yeah oh that that's good I like the idea you know I like the idea I think it's going to be

00:53:33.780 be great because it's easier to manage it's easier to coordinate and you can go one place the next

00:53:40.480 day you go the other place no no that's fantastic go to beer and wings.com and donate to a tpa

00:53:47.100 i i got yeah i got two things about that so first of all it'd be awesome if we could get

00:53:53.220 several bars across alberta like maybe one in each main city and then we can live stream back

00:54:00.620 and forth between them just switch i love it that's that's what we should do it would be great

00:54:06.020 like each bar is full in different locations right and then i just want to say one more thing to that

00:54:11.420 uh this app stream yard has a really good filter because i was really nervous about the sound

00:54:18.780 quality but my lapel mic when i i hold it about this far away from my face it canceled out

00:54:25.060 everything and it wasn't very good it wasn't like podcast quality but you could understand it

00:54:30.600 and so yeah we learned a little bit of tactical stuff there as well about how to do this let's

00:54:35.960 do that people are saying hey john i'm in beer and wing party get her done that's what they're

00:54:40.960 saying on the stream here yeah we could do something like that and you know we've got it

00:54:44.460 we've got to find the right place and we fill the whole joint up and maybe uh calgary edmonton red

00:54:49.220 deer lethbridge medicine hat all doing a party at the same time and you just have a switcher and

00:54:53.480 you just kind of have them rotate around and then every once in a while you can drop in and go hey 0.88

00:54:57.980 i'm here with with bob and he's shit-faced right now yeah he's just kidding but you know yeah but

00:55:06.520 you know what i mean and we could it would be a blast if people could tune in around across the 0.78

00:55:10.080 province and see you know see the different things going on we have a band playing at each place you

00:55:14.400 know get tamara leach out with her band it'd be great it'd be awesome yeah absolutely like a

00:55:18.500 campground or or one at chris scott or whistle stop like we can have all these happen the original

00:55:25.360 idea um the original idea for the telethon was to have chris at the whistle stop on stage with

00:55:31.220 a band playing and then host from there but but chris yeah i talked to him about it but he was

00:55:36.680 doing a um a pig roast on saturday and he'd already planned that weeks ago and he couldn't

00:55:42.360 do it because that was the original idea chris can we do a thing live from the whistle stop with

00:55:46.640 your stage and then you guys can stop and somebody come on and play sweet home alabama or some play

00:55:52.160 some music and have some fun but it just didn't work out but that was the original idea but it's

00:55:56.820 a great john that's exactly what we need to do and how do we do it do it at his place and and he

00:56:02.620 could probably make that happen have a pig roast yeah pig roast five pigs and invite everybody in

00:56:08.140 the in the province to come by the whistles that's this is getting good this is getting good we have

00:56:13.160 to be careful with the booze right you got to be careful with the booze but but that would be fun

00:56:17.780 oh love it yeah oh i'm loving this already well guys let's do it yeah let's make this happen

00:56:24.020 can i can i can i take this moment can we pivot to answer some questions i'm seeing in my chat here

00:56:29.180 yeah yeah yeah yeah so there's this uh forever e canadian he's talking about treaties as being

00:56:36.100 sacred and they must be honored and he quoted uh the bible he says he or who keeps an oath

00:56:42.800 even when it hurts and does not change their mind and i just want to respond to that because like

00:56:47.600 nobody's serious in this movement's talking about breaking the treaties like we understand that we

00:56:54.580 have treaties and this issue keeps coming up again like it's a gotcha like a thump on the head

00:56:59.620 but it's like that there's there's really only two ways this is gonna go the treaties are either

00:57:04.760 gonna stay with canada as they are or everything's gonna be renegotiated and it'll be better

00:57:11.800 there's going to be no deal

00:57:14.420 that would be worse

00:57:15.800 because they wouldn't accept that

00:57:18.020 and why would we?

00:57:19.920 Can I add to that as well too?

00:57:22.100 Because this is something that

00:57:24.000 Keith Wilson also said as well

00:57:25.920 and I know people are

00:57:27.160 natives are also watching this stream

00:57:29.700 that's fine

00:57:30.280 this is something that

00:57:34.380 I was at church the other day

00:57:36.140 Baptist church in Calgary

00:57:37.760 and here's the thing 1.00

00:57:38.840 Christians

00:57:41.200 When settlers, when they moved to Canada at the time, it was Christians who basically freed indigenous from slavery, the actual slavery, the actual concept of taking someone else's, someone as, and taking as a property. 0.80

00:57:59.540 That's the definition of slave here, right? 0.75

00:58:01.880 The slave here.

00:58:02.940 It was Christians who helped them get out of slavery.

00:58:06.140 indigenous communities in particular with their culture

00:58:10.260 these are the people who actually had slaves

00:58:13.620 right? The actual slaves. Yeah, if you look

00:58:18.220 at the history, that's what happened. Like I know that there were tribes that

00:58:22.200 fought each other and they would often like, you know, have

00:58:26.180 wars and kill each other. I don't know if they had like slavery

00:58:30.120 in the sense that we would consider it. They did. Yeah, they did.

00:58:34.380 It did?

00:58:34.760 Yes.

00:58:35.620 It did.

00:58:35.980 So that's the point, is that do you want to participate in the creation of a country that will honor your integrity?

00:58:45.760 Because what happened is that if you look at what Kit Wilson has said many times, 0.97

00:58:51.260 and not just Kit Wilson, but many people who are Métis in particular,

00:58:56.940 they're overwhelmingly supportive of independence.

00:59:00.080 Quite actually, they were supporting Alberta independence.

00:59:03.020 They were collecting signatures.

00:59:05.020 They were canvassers.

00:59:06.520 The people who are in favor of independence, for the most part, are Native people.

00:59:13.860 Just think about it.

00:59:15.440 I've made two videos, three videos with Indigenous people that have said that much with me. 0.77

00:59:23.380 They resent the king. 1.00

00:59:24.520 They resent the Indian Act. 0.94

00:59:25.760 They resent being wards of the state like property. 0.57

00:59:29.160 And their land is held in reserve.

00:59:32.000 the word reserve is like you're held in reserve you're held in trust by the king it's like they

00:59:37.460 reset that yes it's dehumanizing yeah there are some let me just go ahead let me jump in let me

00:59:46.800 jump in here um listen i want to get into an argument john you made the point this would be

00:59:51.980 the first time in this person's lifetime where indigenous people have an opportunity to renegotiate

00:59:58.300 a better deal in Canada. We had that poll come out not long ago, Rebel News, was it Rebel News?

01:00:04.140 It was 46%. They want independence too. And there's probably more because they're more fearful

01:00:10.560 of what's going on on the reservations with the chiefs than I think even the average person in

01:00:15.780 Alberta is losing their job. But I mean, you do have an opportunity here. You can keep it the way

01:00:23.460 want, it is right now, or you can renegotiate a better life for yourself. And then, you know,

01:00:28.820 you look at the treaties. I live in Treaty 7, sitting here in Calgary. The word ceded

01:00:33.540 is constantly through the treaties. And let me just read, let me just read you the definition.

01:00:39.940 Ceded is the past tense and past participle of the verb cede. It means to give up, surrender,

01:00:45.420 or yield control of something such as territory, power, rights, or authority. It's all through

01:00:50.940 the treaties here in Alberta. And that's what has happened here. I don't want to get into an

01:00:55.540 argument. I want you to be part of our team. And I said to people a while ago, you know, I said,

01:01:00.900 there are indigenous people that want to be part of the independence movement. We need to hear

01:01:06.140 their voices. Thank you, John, for going out there and getting some of their voices for us.

01:01:10.320 We appreciate that. But we need to see their faces out there standing side by side with us

01:01:15.360 because they want independence too and and please come aboard we want you to be part of a new alberta

01:01:21.600 and independent that's the way i see it so they despise the calling they despise the king as much

01:01:27.760 as other people despise the king and it was just it was it was unbelievable to see them standing

01:01:32.640 next to king charles the the person he calls a colonizer the person who he you know the person

01:01:39.840 who represented the people who who took their land we're the settlers because of them and there they

01:01:44.720 They are going over there looking for comfort from the king.

01:01:51.440 I just found that fascinating that they would do that.

01:01:54.940 It's all staged.

01:01:56.220 It's all staged.

01:01:57.440 You know, there's two perspectives I've heard about the treaties.

01:02:01.780 There's one that the treaties are sacred and they need to be honored forever.

01:02:05.700 And there's the other that they were signed under duress and they don't actually apply.

01:02:10.340 and it seems like whatever the argument kind of they want to push they pick and choose between

01:02:16.180 which one right so like in bc when they want to talk about hey actually this is all our land get

01:02:20.980 the hell out of here pay us rent uh they use the well i guess they didn't cede their land right but

01:02:26.360 they're kind of using the same assumption like but i've heard this kind of go back and forth

01:02:31.340 depending on what perspective they want to argue and uh what do you guys think of that

01:02:35.800 um like the the treaties were signed under duress and i think actually from what i learned is treaty

01:02:41.740 six might have might have actually been uh definitely signed under duress um but because

01:02:48.640 there was like a famine happening and they needed to have food and they were starving you know and

01:02:53.620 and so they needed whatever they could take and uh but then like the maybe treaty

01:02:58.500 seven or eight the more northern treaties those ones might not have been uh but still it's like

01:03:05.560 okay are they is it is it your land forever like did you seed it or is it like uh like i don't get

01:03:14.280 it if it's your land pay for it well i can't pay 32 billion dollars a year let me just say to this

01:03:24.100 indigenous guy who was on your stream there if you just took the amount of money that the canadian

01:03:28.300 government the canadian taxpayer gives indigenous people in this country and divided it among the

01:03:33.340 indigenous people who live here and and equally you would be far better off than doing what 0.97

01:03:38.480 you're doing right now yeah you'd be way better you would be rich if that happened

01:03:43.880 but you're allowing just saying 32 billion dollars and it's probably a lot more than that

01:03:50.800 what percentage of uh of alberta do you know roughly is is treaty land actually like those

01:03:57.520 reserves it's like it's like one percent yeah it's it's a small percentage yeah this guy in my

01:04:04.020 chat he's saying that it's the majority i think there's a lie that's being spread by the media

01:04:08.280 they look at where the treaty lands covered and they're they're not they're not differentiating

01:04:12.800 between the reserves that were hollowed out versus all the land that was ceded permanently forever

01:04:18.660 right that's right oh yeah that's literally the language that's used and it's like that they're

01:04:23.160 picking and choosing what they want to hear it's like are we going to honor these treaties forever

01:04:27.640 okay then that means that the land was permanently ceded and all we owe you are some cows every year

01:04:33.900 and like five bucks a year and like i read i've read the treaties it's like there's a handful of

01:04:40.860 things that they farm implements that they owe them and and and so you could add up the current

01:04:46.600 value of all of these things the present current value to use like an accounting term yeah and

01:04:52.100 Yeah. And then you could you could say, well, maybe there's a billion dollars and then we could double it.

01:04:56.760 You could say maybe there's like 20 billion dollars and a renegotiation in my mind would be like, we make it really juicy.

01:05:02.880 Now, this is controversial, but we make a really juicy offer and we say, OK, all these reserve lands and all the people who are under the treaties, we're going to buy you out and you're going to become citizens of the republic.

01:05:16.020 And I thought about that, too. What's what's what's the bottom line? I thought that, too, John.

01:05:19.880 don't believe me i've thought that too what's the bottom line so we can end all this and we can all

01:05:24.220 and we can actually have reconciliation because there'll never be there will never be reconciliation

01:05:30.300 as long as the grift continues i say that quite often as long as there's people who are different

01:05:35.380 from others based off the race treated differently by the government based off the race you can't

01:05:40.140 have a fair society as long as that is like if based off of your ancestry you have special

01:05:47.840 privileges that other people don't that's always gonna you know or or special what lack of

01:05:53.280 privileges whatever either way it works both ways and so i would say like a renegotiation would be

01:05:58.220 we're gonna pay you out figure out what we owe you double it make it super juicy so you can't reject

01:06:04.380 it if you reject it then you stay with canada so now we have these little pockmarked little places

01:06:10.180 like maybe moscow cheese says no we're gonna stay with canada okay that's a little enclave within

01:06:15.580 And Alberta, that is weird.

01:06:17.500 But you know what?

01:06:18.040 There's lots of countries that have enclaves inside of other countries.

01:06:21.480 Yeah, I know.

01:06:22.360 There's lots of them all over Europe.

01:06:24.680 The better example is United States.

01:06:26.360 They have their own constitution that allows to do like a constitution within a constitution within a constitution.

01:06:34.140 So it's kind of weird.

01:06:35.060 Or the United States actually has an enclave within Canada.

01:06:38.220 There's a little chunk right near the Manitoba border where it goes up into the border across a lake and slices off a little chunk of land.

01:06:45.580 it's like a very small little chunk but like that's a hard place france does france owns a

01:06:52.560 couple islands that's like st pierre and michelon are off the east coast of canada they're both

01:06:57.420 within canadian water but they're owned by france i always thought was rather rather weird i think

01:07:02.940 it's st pierre and michelon are the name of the islands out there yeah it's like you want to keep

01:07:06.580 your treaties okay canada cannot back out of those treaties but alberta which the land transfer so

01:07:13.700 this is how it goes the title went from the indigenous people to the to the crown of england

01:07:19.080 crown england to canada land transfer to alberta there's been a progression of of title over over

01:07:27.000 the actual land and then the reserves have always been held in trust by the federal government and

01:07:32.140 so 99 of alberta is well if take not not indigenous property governed by the federal government so

01:07:41.460 those little enclaves can do what they want you know what though they're all going to come over 0.94

01:07:44.740 because they're going to be like here's a super sweet deal and they're sick and tired of being

01:07:48.680 treated as second-class citizens absolutely i agree the way the way to resolve this join us

01:07:55.540 we'd love to have you we want to have you maybe hunting rights you know and we could still say

01:08:00.800 okay guys look we're going to grandfather in your hunting rights for a couple of generations and

01:08:05.880 then that's going to go away too and that might be a hard sell but i think that i i don't know how

01:08:12.980 that would work but i you know what they can decide it's like we're not going to impose this

01:08:17.320 on them you you you get to negotiate with whoever you want canada or the republic of alberta hey

01:08:25.260 guys i was asking about something because we have pictures from the stage we'll have pictures from

01:08:32.300 the studio over there oh are you talking about the teleson yes oh yeah well you know um jager

01:08:41.820 and alexander who are who work out of that building we were in are a master alexander is

01:08:47.560 a brilliant uh photographer and he took pictures of all the hosts in in calgary including myself

01:08:54.420 if you're if you have access to the google uh google drive i they i think he had host one

01:08:59.500 through seven, I think, through seven hours there. Yeah. So there's Wade Collinge on the screen from

01:09:04.400 Sylvan Lake. People know Wade. There he is. He dropped by when I was talking with Mitch Sylvester

01:09:09.020 in the morning. And actually, if you go to albertatelethon.com, all of the hosts are broken

01:09:14.720 up by hours. You can actually go and watch each hour of the hosts by going to the website and

01:09:21.520 just clicking on it now. So that's up and available to you as well. But there's Wade Collinge in the

01:09:25.940 studio yeah uh there's mitch sylvester there's uh that's me well yeah that's i was out of my

01:09:30.600 suit at that point but uh but mitch was there with me yeah well i was pretty stressed out

01:09:36.900 why were you stressed out man well again there were a lot of moving parts and i've been working

01:09:47.620 on it for a while and i was hoping it would come together and we could raise some money and i wasn't

01:09:51.580 sure and i was really happy with it it was fun and you know what there was some great bonding

01:09:55.840 going on here i think you know i got to talk to all the different hosts um and it was it was

01:10:00.780 unbelievable because everybody i asked i said this everybody i asked oh that look at this picture

01:10:06.640 there you go everybody i asked said yes immediately nobody said i'll let you know later

01:10:10.640 it was so easy to book all the people because they all said yes it was outstanding it really was

01:10:16.520 and wade wade's wade's just a gem there there's wade uh from sylvan lake we've become very good

01:10:22.360 friends as Mitch and I have as well. Mitch drove all the way down from Bonneville just to be on

01:10:26.800 for 40 minutes. So thanks to Mitch for doing that as well. By the way, speaking of the native

01:10:32.560 situation, you can look that up. It's on my YouTube channel as well. You can look at the

01:10:38.320 video that I recorded from Saskatoon during the Saskatchewan Prosperity Project on call

01:10:44.100 in Saskatoon,

01:10:46.000 look for a guy named Jason

01:10:48.220 Gordon. He's

01:10:50.100 native. He's going to blow your mind. 1.00

01:10:52.880 Just say.

01:10:54.660 Jason Gordon is on my YouTube

01:10:56.100 channel, by the way.

01:10:57.460 What other videos?

01:11:00.120 I'm always looking for

01:11:02.140 people to be on my channel.

01:11:04.460 I encourage people

01:11:06.080 to email me and then I will

01:11:07.780 do what I can to get them on my channel.

01:11:10.920 This is actually

01:11:12.040 a picture. These pictures

01:11:13.760 like from there to there like they say the first hour like i was asking the question what's the

01:11:20.200 most difficult thing on the stream the technical aspect there was a lot of problems that happened

01:11:25.840 in a lot of glitches that happened in the first hour the cameras were not working my backup cameras

01:11:31.720 not working so that's why you see a difference between the video quality between the edmonton

01:11:37.080 office and the kangaroo office there was a direct correlation but look at this like look at this

01:11:43.740 look like a radio host man i was that's what i used to do face made for radio right there guys

01:11:49.740 face made for radio oh man right in man oh yeah oh yeah mitch is like right there

01:12:00.220 this is a picture that is gonna go on like this is a picture you're gonna see under the western

01:12:04.700 standard like like uh off camera oh that's awesome look at this there we go that's radio

01:12:11.020 host right there and i know it's radio host because you're like this yeah yeah oh yeah oh

01:12:17.760 yeah i remember that that's you know actually let me show you something here these see these

01:12:21.640 headphones right here they've got my name on them see right there these these headphones i bought

01:12:27.720 about 1985 they're sennheiser headphones i used to use these are the headphones i used

01:12:33.580 when i used to work at ckjd radio my first radio job it's got a new cord on it because that one

01:12:39.820 basically went turned to dust because they were so old but yeah i used to always wear my headphones

01:12:44.300 like this unless i was mixing music and this jockey but these are basically the headphones

01:12:49.020 that i had i've had on these for more than 40 years these headphones oh and the good headphones

01:12:54.460 too by the way do they still work yeah they do yeah i had to get new drivers for them and i had

01:13:00.780 to replace the foam on them because it just it just deteriorates over time and the cord but

01:13:06.380 but they've been, everything's been replaced in them,

01:13:09.720 but they're the actual, you know,

01:13:12.180 the actual pieces on the outside for the headphones and the strap and

01:13:16.340 everything. There's, there's extra new parts on them,

01:13:18.920 but they were so old. It just.

01:13:20.520 You know, you know, John, you got me thinking, like,

01:13:23.160 I've noticed that in this movement,

01:13:24.600 there's people going around getting things to be signed and there's like

01:13:29.200 mementos that are being handed out.

01:13:31.340 I've been given some gifts,

01:13:32.760 like a little coin and some pins and some hats right and i was thinking about my flag like my

01:13:38.740 big blue beautiful alberta flag like you know and then just kind of think like i'm going to keep

01:13:44.940 that flag forever you know and and and like i'm gonna look back no matter how this ends in 40

01:13:52.020 years i'm gonna look back at that flag and and what are you guys what are you getting from it

01:13:57.160 what's gonna hang around what what you know it's interesting you say that john because i think i

01:14:01.980 said it on Saturday, this has been one of the most profound things that's ever happened in my

01:14:05.920 life. And I'm 61 years old now. It is. I can't think of anything in my life that has had such

01:14:11.460 an amazing effect on me. And it really, I started thinking about independence myself being, you

01:14:17.560 know, being in Calgary only for, or being in Alberta only for 15 years. It was 2019 when I

01:14:24.260 started thinking about Alberta independence. But really since probably January of last year,

01:14:28.960 when I started to realize that things were starting to percolate again.

01:14:31.860 I talked to Mitch in June for the very first time on my channel.

01:14:35.220 But this is one of the most profound things that's ever happened to me.

01:14:38.740 And I truly believe that the people that I've met, every single person,

01:14:42.880 that's a great picture, every single person that I have met

01:14:46.820 through this independence movement, I consider these people my friends.

01:14:50.980 They're all just so wonderful.

01:14:53.160 They're wonderful people.

01:14:54.700 All the hosts that we had on the other day are just wonderful people.

01:14:57.960 we are just blessed to know them and we're blessed to be part of a movement where we can do this

01:15:03.360 with our friends and every time i go out it's a joyful experience for me it's one of the most

01:15:08.440 profound things that's happened in my life and again i'm 61 years old so that's that's saying

01:15:13.300 something it really is that i feel the same way like every every every time i go to one of our

01:15:21.260 our side of things i feel that way everybody's my friend they're all such good people i've made so

01:15:26.140 many good friends in this movement but i do have the opposite experience too because the videos

01:15:31.640 that i make that actually are popular are the ones where i'm not talking to my friends

01:15:37.160 random people and so i i gotta force myself to go out on the street and you know and and meet

01:15:44.280 people but uh those ones are a little bit more nerve-wracking but no no well there's the saying

01:15:49.280 in news and it's a little bit different there is bird of proud dad with dennis kalma a great guy

01:15:53.960 there you know there's a saying in news if it bleeds it leads well if it's people are looking

01:15:59.060 for the stuff to to anger them that's the stuff that people really want to see so yeah for sure

01:16:04.540 so what's about this 100 bill because the thing is that i was focused on my technical front i don't

01:16:13.580 focus too much on the content so is that 100 about what exactly i think i think bird of proud

01:16:20.540 You know, it's really strange.

01:16:21.760 I watched more of the Edmonton broadcasts than I saw of Calgary

01:16:26.600 because I was so busy in Calgary.

01:16:28.680 Me too.

01:16:29.000 I think he took some money in there.

01:16:30.060 And that was the money.

01:16:30.960 That was Danny Bucks that he was giving you the Alberta Independence Movement.

01:16:34.300 Yeah.

01:16:34.540 That was the money, the $100 that Daniel Smith was giving people.

01:16:37.600 So that's what he brought in to give to the Independence Movement.

01:16:39.600 Yeah.

01:16:40.320 Yeah.

01:16:40.500 Pretty sure that's what that was.

01:16:42.000 Yeah.

01:16:42.580 Danny Bucks.

01:16:43.400 Oh, that's so.

01:16:44.100 Oh, by the way, speaking of Danny Bucks and stuff,

01:16:46.820 I can tell you that I'm going to do some sort of commitment as well

01:16:51.220 because I'll be doing some independence town hall meetings there and there.

01:16:56.160 This week I'll be in the south.

01:16:58.300 I'll be in Nanton.

01:16:59.440 I will be in Clare's home.

01:17:01.600 No, Cowley and Hyde River.

01:17:04.940 If you keep donating to my YouTube channel,

01:17:09.460 I'm going to give some portions of the profits and donations to individual TBAs. 0.72

01:17:15.040 So keep doing this.

01:17:16.820 So just so you know, I want to have a big check with Max.

01:17:23.060 We have X amount of money.

01:17:26.180 Anyway, so we have here.

01:17:28.980 Oh, that was awesome.

01:17:30.280 Marty and Jason.

01:17:31.220 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:32.700 Yeah, absolutely.

01:17:33.840 Two real smart guys there.

01:17:36.280 Jason's kids are absolutely awesome.

01:17:38.680 I want to tell you something about them.

01:17:39.760 Jacob and JJ, they're remarkable young people.

01:17:42.320 I have a policy within Freedom Calendar that whatever I'm not working or basically if some kid wants to just see my gear, you just see the equipment, I'm willing to take some time and explain how things are going.

01:18:00.260 because I think especially young guys, young boys like his kids,

01:18:06.080 they love technology.

01:18:08.580 And so it's good for them to see what's actually going on

01:18:12.820 so I don't prevent anybody from touching, not necessarily touching,

01:18:18.040 but explaining how things are going if I have some time so you know.

01:18:22.600 Yeah, they're homeschooled, so they're really curious about things.

01:18:27.180 And that's what Paula and Jason have taught their kids, to be curious about things, ask questions, research things.

01:18:35.020 They're not told what to do and what to study all the time.

01:18:38.080 They're asked to research things.

01:18:39.320 So it's interesting how these young men are being brought up and how they're learning.

01:18:46.040 And you can really tell that they're getting good instruction at home, homeschooled kids.

01:18:51.420 Absolutely.

01:18:52.340 So we have Tara and we have Paula.

01:18:54.680 There they are, Jason and Paula.

01:18:55.800 yep yeah absolutely no but they're they're cool to work with and there's another

01:19:01.240 foreign picture of all of them right so it looks good hey this the studio looked great

01:19:06.600 you know we got those those are lent to us those flags and we had no idea how to put them up to

01:19:11.320 make them look like that and we managed to do that about 30 minutes before we went on air

01:19:15.800 but they look pretty damn nice yeah yeah and apparently we had some issues with those flags

01:19:20.600 they were too tall oh they were oh the poles were 10 feet tall they wouldn't fit in the room so i

01:19:24.920 i had to come home and cut them i cut about that much off each one of them uh in my garage here

01:19:29.680 the night before the event so we could oh my god that is into the studio yeah yeah this is unplanned

01:19:35.480 work type of thing oh i see what you i see what you did there there's there's cory morgan yeah

01:19:40.540 yeah cory morgan i love the pictures from cory look at those because he's like staring at me

01:19:46.100 i don't know let's take a look i think daryl comic came in too yeah aloha yeah there's the 0.99

01:19:53.360 Holmes, girls, very smart young ladies. 0.98

01:19:55.620 My goodness. 1.00

01:19:56.440 Yeah, I had it on my show. 1.00

01:19:58.260 Macy, Madison, and Mike there, really smart girls.

01:20:02.900 And Corey's not too bad either.

01:20:06.640 He's pretty smart too.

01:20:08.200 Oh, yeah, Corey.

01:20:09.180 Good guy.

01:20:09.800 And, you know, I mean, Corey started the sign wars, John, eh?

01:20:14.660 Everybody's got signs now.

01:20:17.200 People are collecting the signs.

01:20:18.720 I've now got eight, but I've got six.

01:20:21.340 I'm going to have to put the other two out.

01:20:22.520 I've got two more.

01:20:23.060 i gotta give my opinion on this because okay that's kind of a waste i get it put a two or three

01:20:30.060 you know collect them but like there's you know really one on each lawn i know you know what

01:20:37.620 that's a good idea yeah maybe it's time to start distributing my signs out to other people that

01:20:43.360 may be a good idea they honestly it doesn't matter what sign you use because like if it's blue and

01:20:49.860 it says something about alberta we know what that means yeah it means that you're for independence

01:20:56.100 so yeah but but it's a trophy it's a trophy it's just for the high it's just for the hype

01:21:02.340 it was it was weird because i was at a lot of the uh the sign uh distribution areas and i was

01:21:09.000 actually getting them kind of first when i people just started getting them i was at cory's first

01:21:14.340 day and whatnot and i started putting them in my lawn and then i ended up with a in a battle with

01:21:19.200 with wade collins he's got i think 12 he's got a huge property he's got big signs and everything

01:21:25.480 and it sits on oh yeah there i mean it's a huge billboard for independence there and it makes

01:21:29.840 sense but he's got i think he's got 12 signs on the ground and then on the ground and then all

01:21:34.800 sorts of them i have a picture he sent me as well i don't think i can share i don't know that i can

01:21:38.860 share it but but yeah he's got an unbelievable amount just unreal yeah this is cory morgan

01:21:44.160 he's looking serious as well this is macy and this is mr aloha

01:21:53.760 yeah girl comic yep yeah and then you have that it's uh home's dad this is mike yeah mike mike mike

01:22:03.420 and you have cory morgan there's a picture of cory that i absolutely love he was staring at

01:22:10.680 the camera that this is pictures i think there it is there you go but this one like he was like

01:22:19.460 smiling like there you go all these pictures who was taking all these pictures alexander who uh

01:22:26.440 were as a jagger who uh owns the property that we're on and they both have um businesses in

01:22:33.100 the building and alexander is a professional photographer and videographer and he was there

01:22:37.580 just snapping photos throughout the day uh there's jagger right there great guy um helps out uh very

01:22:43.500 much involved in alberta politics as well he's just a super guy and um yeah so they were taking

01:22:49.440 pictures and they're great photographers when i did my bouncy castle day there's you go there's

01:22:54.280 igor that's that's actually that's that's not a bad picture igor when i did my bouncy castle day

01:22:59.020 i first met them and they were just snapping pictures and the pictures that came away from

01:23:02.960 bouncy castle day were just unbelievable they're they're beautiful cameras and they looked really

01:23:09.160 good and they're just look at this yeah yeah that is the moment where we lose the internet

01:23:13.720 i think so yeah that is that is the moment where i was running around and trying to 0.89

01:23:20.320 put my front that's the moment where i said shit where are the feet yeah i actually that's one of

01:23:27.440 the complications that i have because if i were to do this stream all over again i will do it from 0.86

01:23:32.600 my place because at least here i have two internet lines i have redundant power batteries everywhere

01:23:38.920 because back in the days i used to work from home so i had to make sure that in case of an

01:23:46.520 apocalyptic if if everything goes sideways i would have to be able to support my customers right

01:23:52.980 so that's what happened look i absolutely love this picture well tanya clemens is the most one

01:24:00.040 of the most photogenic people I've ever seen. I was watching him snap pictures while she was in

01:24:05.040 the studio. Get some of the other pictures up. She just, she takes a great picture. She's like

01:24:09.220 my sister. Like just so photogenic. It's just crazy. And you know, you put a camera on me and

01:24:16.860 the camera breaks. You put a camera on her and it loves it. It's just amazing. She takes great

01:24:21.720 photos. And Keith picked well when he picked her. Really smart farmer, teacher. I mean, goodness me.

01:24:28.380 and with the blue background we got to send that one i'm going to send that one to tanya because

01:24:32.300 that's a beautiful i've got i've got access to these photos as well she just takes a beautiful

01:24:36.380 photo oh god yeah just amazing just amazing does she have does she have pictures uh no i will i

01:24:41.420 will say i will send them to her i will send them oh yeah look at this oh they just the camera loves

01:24:47.100 her it's just amazing it's just it's just there's just some people just have something that every

01:24:55.100 Every way you take a picture of her, she looks good.

01:24:57.160 It's just amazing.

01:24:58.600 Yeah, absolutely.

01:24:59.840 No, that's good.

01:25:00.880 There's over there, my internet's down.

01:25:03.400 No.

01:25:04.020 And that is the moment when, yeah.

01:25:06.540 And just so you people in the audience, basically, because I was looking at the footage that was captured by my equipment and the servers,

01:25:15.480 what I have basically for about 30 minutes is just the troubleshooting video because I was recording at the same time, which is kind of cool.

01:25:23.400 But my recording is kind of off the grid, doesn't need network connection, which is kind of cool.

01:25:29.240 Then Dennis Kalman.

01:25:30.660 This guy is a brain.

01:25:33.760 Yeah, well, you first met him at Bouncy Castle Day, didn't you, John?

01:25:36.880 You talked to him for a good 30 minutes or so.

01:25:39.400 He's the secret weapon of the Alberta independence movement.

01:25:43.160 Dennis is one smart cookie.

01:25:45.120 He's a theoretical physicist.

01:25:47.700 That's what he does.

01:25:49.300 Very smart guy.

01:25:50.240 He wrote, as many people know, he wrote this, The Value of Freedom, right?

01:25:56.660 Hold on a second.

01:25:57.500 And you met him, John, at the Bouncy Castle Day.

01:26:00.060 Can you show it again, John?

01:26:01.240 I've made a video with Dennis Calum, a couple of them.

01:26:04.680 Yeah.

01:26:05.120 Oh, for sure.

01:26:05.840 No, he's really smart.

01:26:07.280 I called him up and I said, Dennis, could you come by Bouncy Castle Day?

01:26:10.520 He said, I'll stand there as long as people want to talk to me.

01:26:13.340 He was there for five hours.

01:26:15.120 He talked to people all day.

01:26:17.180 It was unbelievable.

01:26:18.200 He's a great guy.

01:26:18.900 he did double duty on saturday because um who how do you have who was he on with for at first was

01:26:25.740 um with burger proud dad and he came back later with chris scott and did an hour with chris as

01:26:31.700 well uh well triple shift triple shift yeah he did triple shift they did a double shift yeah

01:26:38.660 no triple shift actually yeah so that's the moment so basically the internet cut down

01:26:45.300 from when tanya was speaking to when igor was speaking with john that's where the internet

01:26:52.300 decided to take a hike but look at this then we then we have i thought we were getting attacked

01:26:58.220 at that moment like i thought maybe we were too like like people hacking the website or anything

01:27:03.720 or i don't know it's funny jager who's there he says this never happened so you know there was

01:27:09.640 course we were that's what we were thinking but probably just um you know just a coincidence

01:27:14.360 that it happened let's say i'm gonna have to let you go i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have to leave

01:27:17.880 the stream uh okay but uh yeah it's been about 90 minutes now so i'm gonna probably i'm gonna

01:27:24.260 have to leave the stream i've got some things to do before i go to bed my betty buy time's coming

01:27:28.580 guys so oh yeah i want to show the last pictures and then we go sure yeah for sure for sure do i

01:27:34.820 have some pictures and i'm gonna stay i'm gonna stay on my channel i don't know why because it

01:27:41.540 cuts off when you cut off hey max yeah yeah because there's caroline yeah there's caroline

01:27:48.800 she came in and sang a song for us yeah it was awesome yeah it's all about a smart network design

01:27:54.680 too because the stream were set up in such a way that if the stream dies nothing's going to happen

01:27:59.900 so that was a very i enjoyed a lot of the technical front from this stream to be honest with you i

01:28:06.960 absolutely love the technical front i just look in browsing other pictures as well but i absolutely

01:28:12.920 love the technical side of things uh more than the stream because for you guys just talking to

01:28:19.640 people and all those things you know doing the social circles and i'm not necessarily a social

01:28:25.780 guy i don't talk to a lot of people because i'm probably just a huge nerd or something but i like

01:28:31.780 the technical front and that's why

01:28:33.860 I enjoy the most is that

01:28:35.940 through our work

01:28:37.940 we were able to accomplish

01:28:39.860 something really good.

01:28:41.120 You did an amazing job.

01:28:43.420 I'm so grateful for what you did.

01:28:46.000 I couldn't have put this together

01:28:47.820 and I'm

01:28:50.020 so grateful how it all came together

01:28:51.840 because we had enough people

01:28:53.920 working behind the scenes

01:28:55.420 and on the ground at all the

01:28:57.900 different angles. This was a huge success.

01:28:59.720 and so yeah it was awesome yeah i loved i loved it was fun really fun yeah and also one thing is

01:29:06.480 that i was trained as as a project my in the last jobs my last job i was working down east

01:29:12.340 i was working as a project manager so i was very in tune to manage projects and it and i manage

01:29:21.600 it jobs and it projects so i have to evaluate a lot of things when it comes to the infrastructure

01:29:29.000 of the customers, that sort of thing.

01:29:30.660 So that's why I think it developed

01:29:32.740 some sort of sense between this and this.

01:29:36.060 Well, thank you, John, for coming and joining us,

01:29:39.520 John Bolton.

01:29:40.200 I know that is nap time for you.

01:30:52.480 The bouncy castle. Fabio is going to melt. Yeah.

01:30:56.740 Listen, I was stunned. Just one last point here. I was stunned. I was sitting around

01:31:04.420 a month after that happened, and I get a text message from Jeff Rath, and all it is, it's

01:31:10.480 a notice from Elections Alberta how they had been investigating my bouncy castle day.

01:31:15.460 and and they had cleared me from any influence or or in or any any problems when it came to the

01:31:23.100 petition signing campaign that i was okay that i had some bouncy bouncy castle and i handed out

01:31:28.940 some coffee and pizza during the day but i was cleared by elections alberta but i couldn't

01:31:33.600 believe that i actually got reported for bouncy castle day and i have no doubt it was because of

01:31:38.920 thomas lakasic because he was my big deal about it the day before look they're enticing people

01:31:45.080 with bouncy castles that's what he put online and cory morgan responded to it and just absolutely

01:31:50.600 hammered fabio right well look at you guys you're all afraid of bouncy castles oh that's great
