John Bolton - Alberta Independence For The Win - Bouncy Castle Triggers Lukaszuk

00:00:00.000 Let's go.

00:00:15.600 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 443 a.m.

00:00:19.180 It is Sunday, March the 8th.

00:00:20.640 I hope you're having a great Sunday and a great weekend as well.

00:00:23.960 Here with the big blue mug of coffee.

00:00:26.440 I'm telling you, I'm a little bit tired right now.

00:00:28.460 My voice is a little bit tired for sure after what happened yesterday.

00:00:32.280 A lot of you probably watching because you want to see what happened at the Auburn Bay

00:00:36.920 Dog Walk Park yesterday.

00:00:38.440 We had a petition signing event.

00:00:40.460 I can tell you this, it was remarkable.

00:00:43.320 But the other thing that's remarkable here, and I tried to make a point of this yesterday,

00:00:47.080 is that what we did yesterday at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park with this petition signing

00:00:52.160 was happening everywhere across the province yesterday.

00:00:54.820 I've seen pictures from north to south, east to west in this province.

00:01:00.080 It was a remarkable day for the independence movement.

00:01:02.320 Not only that, I've seen pictures from Puerto Vallarta of people collecting signatures for

00:01:07.880 independence.

00:01:09.880 So just a remarkable day yesterday.

00:01:12.640 I've got a lot of people to thank.

00:01:14.020 I'm likely to miss a few people today, so I apologize if I miss you.

00:01:17.300 I've tried to put a list down.

00:01:18.900 Just so many people.

00:01:19.900 I want to show you a video from 9 o'clock on Saturday morning.

00:01:25.820 I got there an hour early.

00:01:27.500 The bouncy castle showed up.

00:01:29.560 Taylor was there from Orbitz Bouncy Castles at 9 o'clock yesterday morning.

00:01:35.180 And I wanted to be there a little bit early.

00:01:38.380 So I had my GoPro camera on all day yesterday.

00:01:41.420 I had it on a chest mount.

00:01:42.580 And as I got out of my car at 9 o'clock, the first thing that happened set the tone for

00:01:49.880 the whole day.

00:01:50.620 Watch this.

00:01:54.640 Here we are.

00:01:57.520 The Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park.

00:02:00.580 Hello there.

00:02:01.500 Are you missing out on bouncy castles?

00:02:03.220 Are you what?

00:02:05.020 Am I missing out on bouncy castles?

00:02:07.260 You might be.

00:02:08.520 You are?

00:02:09.320 I'm Sean.

00:02:10.320 Sean.

00:02:10.620 And I've signed.

00:02:11.880 God bless you guys for what you do.

00:02:13.260 Well, thank you.

00:02:14.020 Thank you very much, Sean.

00:02:15.320 By the way, I'm recording this.

00:02:16.700 And I didn't mean to record you.

00:02:17.760 I didn't know you were going to come over and talk to me.

00:02:19.360 But thanks for signing.

00:02:20.580 Can I park and talk to you?

00:02:23.380 Feel free.

00:02:24.500 We're going to put up the bouncy castle in a minute if you want.

00:02:26.940 I don't know that we need any help.

00:02:28.040 But if you wanted to help out, you could do that.

00:02:29.980 You can enlist my labor all right now.

00:02:32.220 Okay.

00:02:32.700 If you want to come over and talk for sure.

00:02:34.560 Might be getting a little bit busy.

00:02:35.800 But absolutely.

00:02:36.560 If you want to stop and talk, I'm glad to meet you.

00:02:38.380 I really am.

00:02:38.880 Thanks for saying hi.

00:02:39.720 Can I go get coffee and some donuts or muffins?

00:02:43.540 You can do that.

00:02:44.340 I've got coffee coming at 10 o'clock.

00:02:46.300 I've got a whole lot of coffee coming at 10.

00:02:47.920 But we don't have any right now.

00:02:49.540 If you wanted to do that, that would be awesome.

00:02:51.720 If you could grab one for Taylor, too, that'd be super.

00:02:54.140 Okay.

00:02:54.960 McDonald's or Tim Hortons?

00:02:56.160 Well, we're going with the Tim's because we needed the big boxes.

00:03:00.400 So why don't we keep it consistent today?

00:03:02.060 Okay.

00:03:02.220 I'll go grab one of those and some muffins and donuts or something.

00:03:04.680 Sean, thank you so much.

00:03:05.820 You're welcome.

00:03:06.220 Okay.

00:03:06.780 I'll see you in a bit.

00:03:08.100 Sean, thank you so much for that.

00:03:09.940 I knew from the moment I shook your hand, this was going to be a success.

00:03:13.620 It meant a lot to me.

00:03:15.700 Right at 9 o'clock in the morning, it set the tone for my whole day.

00:03:19.720 And it was great for the rest of the day.

00:03:21.600 From a standpoint of petition signing, it was an incredible success yesterday.

00:03:28.120 Hundreds of people signed up at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park yesterday.

00:03:33.080 A lot of them said they were waiting for this event to do that.

00:03:36.080 So thanks for letting me know that.

00:03:37.780 And thanks for coming out.

00:03:39.280 Sharon and Jerry, who coordinate canvassers at this place, were so nice to let us be there

00:03:45.380 yesterday, said this event brought more people out for sure.

00:03:49.240 And I thank them again for allowing us to be there.

00:03:51.800 Now, from a standpoint of a guy who does YouTube videos, it was a hard day for me.

00:03:56.700 I didn't know how I was going to do this video this morning.

00:03:59.080 I'm going to show you a lot of pictures.

00:04:00.260 I did take some pictures.

00:04:01.560 A lot of the pictures you're seeing here look really good because a couple of guys were

00:04:05.260 there with amazing cameras taking pictures of everything.

00:04:09.720 And I didn't know who they were at first.

00:04:10.900 They came over and introduced themselves and they post a lot of these pictures at the

00:04:14.860 Stay Free Alberta Facebook site.

00:04:17.860 And they're basically out there working along with the independence movement, taking pictures.

00:04:22.580 So a lot of these pictures you're seeing are from them.

00:04:24.980 Thank you so much for doing that.

00:04:26.200 The same guys that produced that terrific video that Mitch Sylvester put out the other night.

00:04:31.720 Now, a big star of the show yesterday was the Bouncy Castle.

00:04:40.900 So there you go.

00:04:54.100 The Bouncy Castle is up.

00:04:56.580 And Taylor from Orbit's Bouncy Castles.

00:05:00.420 If you want a Bouncy Castle, he's got like 20 of these things.

00:05:03.160 He came by with the Bouncy Castle.

00:05:05.860 And this was one of the Bouncy Castles that was at the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

00:05:09.520 And lots of kids came out to use it.

00:05:12.360 It's kind of unfortunate.

00:05:13.380 It was really windy in the morning, but the afternoon was outstanding.

00:05:16.320 We had lots of kids in the Bouncy Castle.

00:05:18.640 I got to bounce in the Bouncy Castle.

00:05:20.700 I may show you some video of that in just a moment.

00:05:23.820 But it made X and it pissed off some of the Forever Canadian people. 0.59

00:05:30.080 First and foremost, it pissed off Thomas Lukasik, Mr. Forever Canadian himself.

00:05:34.780 And this is what he put on X.

00:05:39.900 You can see my post right here.

00:05:42.000 Pop-up petition event like no other.

00:05:43.880 This Saturday in Southeast Calgary, Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park.

00:05:47.080 Coffee donuts, a Bouncy Castle, and other surprises.

00:05:50.160 Please share.

00:05:50.700 Thank you.

00:05:51.560 So he put this at the top.

00:05:53.420 Separateists have a Bouncy Castle signing location in Calgary.

00:05:57.120 Just sharing.

00:05:58.160 And then this.

00:05:59.100 Trying to alert Elections Alberta.

00:06:01.000 Would this be considered enticement?

00:06:02.700 Now, Corey Morgan dropped by.

00:06:07.100 Thank you, Corey.

00:06:09.160 And this is what he put.

00:06:12.680 This is what he put as a follow-up to Lukasik.

00:06:17.920 It's an effing Bouncy Castle.

00:06:19.980 Fabio, sit down for crying out loud.

00:06:21.800 Well, you know what?

00:06:22.700 I asked Corey about this.

00:06:24.300 I interviewed him yesterday.

00:06:25.460 This is what he had to say.

00:06:26.960 They need to reason with people, not try to shut us down.

00:06:29.080 Because that just inspires more.

00:06:30.980 They're going to see more Bouncy Castles. 0.97

00:06:33.140 You know, I want to just ask you about something.

00:06:35.380 You brought this up with me when you came over today.

00:06:37.920 Thomas Lukasik, the head of the Forever Canadian campaign.

00:06:41.880 They had that question that went before people last year to sign a petition.

00:06:46.880 Didn't have to have ID like they're doing out here in the middle of the summertime.

00:06:49.420 Nice and warm.

00:06:50.060 Not like this.

00:06:51.100 He wasn't happy with the Bouncy Castle.

00:06:53.060 And, you know, I'm going to...

00:06:54.160 No.

00:06:54.480 It upset him.

00:06:55.340 You know, it's funny.

00:06:57.020 I'm triggering these Bouncy Castles. 1.00

00:06:58.560 This is one of the funny things with the opponents, this independence, on how they're taking benign symbols and getting upset with them.

00:07:04.480 Alberta flags, Bouncy Castles.

00:07:07.060 Right.

00:07:07.260 And I'm sure, you know, I can't imagine what's going to upset them next.

00:07:10.620 As I said in my response to the post, you know, because you said that's...

00:07:14.080 Enticement.

00:07:15.680 Enticement, yes.

00:07:16.300 I said, well, you know, some of the canvassers will probably be wearing deodorant, clothing.

00:07:20.980 They might even smile when people come up.

00:07:22.640 That's enticement as well.

00:07:23.720 Get over it, Fabio.

00:07:24.640 Right.

00:07:25.660 Well, you know, we had some coffee and some pizza here today.

00:07:28.580 I wasn't telling people you can't have pizza and coffee unless you sign the petition.

00:07:32.000 Anybody was welcome to do that.

00:07:33.880 Thanks a lot to Corey for coming by.

00:07:35.720 It really meant a lot that you came by and talked to me yesterday.

00:07:38.740 Corey, the writer of the book on Alberta independence, right there in the middle, The Sovereignty's Handbook, available at Amazon.

00:07:46.640 Corey was out on a tour with Rebel News and was returning from one of those events yesterday to his home southwest of Calgary when he dropped by.

00:07:54.560 And I appreciate the comment on Thomas LeCasic.

00:07:57.780 Regarding the LeCasic thing, I don't want to be negative here, but who exactly, Thomas, were we enticing with a bouncy castle?

00:08:06.380 Four and five-year-olds?

00:08:07.620 Now, there were some people who were adults, at least one, that was bouncing in the bouncy castle, and that would be me.

00:08:15.020 But come on.

00:08:16.460 I want to say this one thing.

00:08:18.160 I don't want to be negative here.

00:08:19.260 I want this to be positive. 0.99

00:08:20.620 The forever Canadian people are miserable. 1.00

00:08:22.520 They're miserable people. 1.00

00:08:25.600 We had another, we had an attack at one of the petition signing places yesterday. 0.97

00:08:32.120 And yesterday, there wasn't a single person that came up to us, not a single person, at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park yesterday that had a discouraging word.

00:08:41.940 It was all positive.

00:08:43.240 It was all happy people.

00:08:44.560 It was wonderful.

00:08:45.700 That's all I've got to say about that.

00:08:47.360 Now, I want to say hi to Dale and Vicki.

00:08:51.140 Dale and Vicki refer to them as Mr. and Mrs. Albertan.

00:08:55.000 And they got in touch with me a couple of days ago, and they said, listen, we're doing a slow roll.

00:08:59.720 They were at a place called Socomi Lake, which is in southeast Calgary, southwest Calgary, sorry, in Fish Creek Park.

00:09:06.100 And they were going to be rolling around Calgary.

00:09:08.740 I initially thought they were going up to Red Deer yesterday, but they did a roll around Calgary yesterday.

00:09:12.940 And right around noon hour, when we had 15 pizzas show up, they showed up with 20 to 25 cars.

00:09:19.620 It was outstanding.

00:09:21.280 Here's a little video I did shortly after they arrived.

00:09:24.080 So here at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park right now, we just had a slow roll come in.

00:09:30.000 You might be able to see all the vehicles on the other side of the fence with their Alberta flags.

00:09:34.200 We're starting to fill up the parking lot here.

00:09:36.500 It's insane.

00:09:37.720 We've got pizza coming up in just a moment.

00:09:39.600 So these people are doing a slow roll from Socomi Lake here in South Calgary, just down in Fish Creek Park.

00:09:45.160 And I think they're heading up to Red Deer today.

00:09:47.260 So all coming out today to support the Alberta independence movement.

00:09:50.680 And unfortunately, right now, the bouncy castle's down.

00:09:54.420 It's been a little bit windy, but the sun has come out.

00:09:56.440 So we're hoping to put that back out.

00:09:57.720 We have had some kids out this morning jumping on the bouncy castle.

00:10:00.980 I'm hoping to get on the bouncy castle myself.

00:10:03.260 But check this out.

00:10:04.440 It's unbelievable.

00:10:05.620 What a great day here in Southeast Calgary at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park.

00:10:12.960 Thank you so much to Mr. and Mrs. Albertan for coming by with your slow roll yesterday.

00:10:17.880 20 to 25 vehicles honking their horns, rolling in there right around lunch hour yesterday.

00:10:24.060 And I feel blessed to know the two of you and all the people you brought out here.

00:10:27.740 Thank you very much.

00:10:28.760 They work so hard for this movement.

00:10:31.100 They really do.

00:10:32.120 People say, John, thanks for all you do.

00:10:34.080 It's a small little bit compared to what they're doing.

00:10:37.140 And I did an interview with Mr. Albertan.

00:10:40.560 I'll have more in an upcoming video.

00:10:42.380 I also spoke with Dennis Kalma and Jeevan Mangat.

00:10:46.020 I'll have that for you as well.

00:10:47.960 Dennis co-wrote this, as I've said many times on this channel.

00:10:52.280 I called him the other day and said, can you come by this weekend?

00:10:54.400 He said, John, I'll be there.

00:10:55.780 I'll talk and I'll stand as long as I can.

00:10:57.800 He talked and stood for five hours yesterday.

00:11:02.220 It was amazing.

00:11:03.400 My friend Jeevan Mangat, who has had many hats when it comes to politics here in Alberta,

00:11:08.560 and his coordinating canvassers was there.

00:11:10.940 I spoke with him.

00:11:11.800 Thank you so much, Jeevan, for that.

00:11:13.560 And I've got more on that interview with Corey Morgan as well.

00:11:17.220 Now, something different.

00:11:19.240 It was a different event yesterday.

00:11:20.900 I had fun yesterday.

00:11:23.300 I had a guy named James get in touch with me, and he's a busker.

00:11:28.720 And he came by with his accordion.

00:11:31.220 And I said, well, maybe I'll bring out my harmonica and we can play a song together.

00:11:35.480 Well, here you go.

00:11:37.400 Hit it. 0.99

00:11:37.760 Hit it. 1.00

00:11:38.820 Hit it. 1.00

00:11:39.820 Hit it. 0.99

00:11:40.940 Bye.

00:11:41.440 Bye.

00:11:43.060 Bye.

00:12:08.520 Bye.

00:12:09.780 Bye.

00:12:10.380 Bye.

00:12:10.620 I was mistaken

00:12:12.780 So I hung down my head

00:12:16.080 And I cried

00:12:17.500 On my sunshine

00:12:20.100 My only sunshine

00:12:22.320 And they'd be happy

00:12:25.320 And skies are gray

00:12:27.300 You never know it is

00:12:30.680 How much I love you

00:12:33.200 We don't take the sunshine away

00:12:37.720 We don't take the sunshine away

00:12:42.420 Yeah, very good John, very good

00:12:46.200 Thanks James for coming by, I really enjoyed it

00:12:50.620 James was there with his wife all day

00:12:52.920 Busker James, I appreciate you volunteering your time

00:12:56.260 Doing a little part for the independence movement

00:12:59.140 You know we had an ape costume out there

00:13:01.120 You saw it right off the top of the video

00:13:04.280 I went out and got an ape costume 0.56

00:13:05.800 And we had them out on the street

00:13:08.440 With this sign

00:13:09.340 Thank you to the people who went out

00:13:11.280 With their flags out

00:13:12.840 On 52nd Street in Southeast Calgary

00:13:14.880 For wearing the ape costume

00:13:16.660 It really brought attention to the event as well

00:13:19.000 Some other people to thank here

00:13:20.280 I want to thank my friend Heather Field

00:13:22.120 Heather, responsible for that incredible event 1.00

00:13:25.640 We did at the Queensland Community Center

00:13:27.560 Back on January 10th

00:13:28.700 Where everything took off

00:13:29.760 That was the night it went crazy

00:13:31.960 It was the night we had 1,500 people

00:13:34.240 Lined up in Queensland here in Calgary

00:13:36.680 And then you saw it in every city

00:13:38.480 And every place across Alberta after that

00:13:40.820 I want to thank Sharon and Jerry again

00:13:44.700 Who allowed us to be part of their event

00:13:47.360 They're there every weekend

00:13:48.740 Collecting signatures at the Auburn Bay Dog Walk Park

00:13:51.880 I want to say hi to Rochelle

00:13:53.240 To Mike, to Dale, and Cheryl

00:13:56.140 They were the people who came out

00:13:58.820 And I asked to come out

00:14:00.200 They had volunteered their time

00:14:01.800 By sending me email at

00:14:04.020 JohnBoltonAB at gmail.com

00:14:06.160 I had about 25 people

00:14:07.420 That wanted to help

00:14:08.920 But it would have been just overkill

00:14:11.100 Having everybody out there

00:14:12.340 I sent a message to everybody saying

00:14:13.800 I can't use everybody

00:14:15.320 I want to thank everybody that volunteered

00:14:17.320 But some of them showed up anyway

00:14:20.220 I think of Christian

00:14:21.560 Who came out yesterday

00:14:22.620 Was there all day

00:14:24.200 He came at about 10 o'clock

00:14:25.700 And he stayed until 4

00:14:28.420 And he said

00:14:29.020 I'm just here just in case

00:14:30.100 You needed more canvassers

00:14:31.240 But we had lots of canvassers

00:14:32.560 But thank you to everybody

00:14:34.280 That volunteered your time

00:14:36.260 From watching this channel

00:14:37.900 I want to thank Taylor from Orbitz

00:14:39.740 Bouncy Castles for being there

00:14:41.260 It really was

00:14:42.660 Like a giant flag out there

00:14:45.600 When you see a bouncy castle

00:14:46.880 Sitting in the middle of a parking lot

00:14:48.480 Thanks so much for Taylor

00:14:49.760 Who volunteered his time

00:14:51.340 All day yesterday

00:14:53.340 I want to thank everybody

00:14:54.820 That promoted the event

00:14:56.000 To the people across the province

00:14:58.380 And the continent

00:14:59.280 And around the world

00:15:00.400 Who had events yesterday

00:15:02.060 Thank you very much

00:15:02.800 You know I got

00:15:03.400 These buttons made up

00:15:05.100 I don't know if this

00:15:05.720 Can get a focus on this

00:15:07.240 But people dropped by

00:15:08.580 With 50 of these buttons

00:15:09.720 It says Alberta Independence

00:15:11.060 I voted for Alberta Independence

00:15:13.520 With John Bolton

00:15:14.480 And it's got referendum at the bottom

00:15:15.980 Check that out

00:15:16.900 Thank you so much

00:15:17.880 And I think it was Gavin

00:15:19.580 I think it's Gavin

00:15:21.360 I apologize if I forget your name

00:15:23.200 He dropped by

00:15:23.940 With the flag you see

00:15:24.940 In the wall behind me

00:15:25.940 And Gavin got in touch with me

00:15:27.780 And said

00:15:28.000 John you've got too many creases

00:15:29.380 In your flag

00:15:29.880 He dropped off a new flag

00:15:31.240 So now I've got my old one right here

00:15:33.260 Thank you so much

00:15:34.500 For the flag yesterday

00:15:36.080 Outstanding

00:15:37.860 I want to thank the guys

00:15:39.860 From Stay Free Alberta

00:15:40.880 Who came by to take

00:15:42.100 Most of the pictures

00:15:43.120 You're seeing in this video

00:15:44.360 I want to thank my wife Sheila

00:15:45.860 My rock

00:15:47.440 For helping out yesterday

00:15:48.580 And I know I'm going to forget

00:15:50.760 Some people

00:15:51.280 I know I am

00:15:52.460 I want to thank

00:15:53.100 Everybody

00:15:54.060 For being so great yesterday

00:15:56.580 There was a guy

00:15:57.740 Who dropped by

00:15:58.260 I want to say hi to

00:15:59.060 Today as well

00:15:59.740 And I met him

00:16:02.560 Right at the end of the day

00:16:03.340 His name is Joe

00:16:04.140 And Joe came out

00:16:07.600 And he's not convinced

00:16:09.180 That Alberta

00:16:10.040 Should separate

00:16:11.040 From Canada

00:16:11.860 Or should become independent

00:16:13.800 And he spoke with

00:16:16.220 Dennis Kalma

00:16:16.840 For a while

00:16:17.800 And he asked me

00:16:18.580 Some questions

00:16:19.160 And he didn't sign

00:16:21.180 But he came out

00:16:22.460 Because he was interested

00:16:24.720 And he may sign

00:16:26.280 And I said to Joe

00:16:28.080 I said

00:16:28.500 I thank you

00:16:30.120 For being a reasonable person

00:16:32.020 Unlike others

00:16:32.860 Who scream and yell

00:16:33.800 And they've got the finger

00:16:35.740 Or maybe attack somebody

00:16:37.220 Who's just

00:16:38.160 Part of a democratic process

00:16:40.040 Joe

00:16:40.400 Thank you very much

00:16:41.300 I thank you

00:16:42.080 For coming out as well

00:16:43.280 I don't want this video

00:16:45.320 To go on forever

00:16:46.180 But I am

00:16:47.340 I'm humbled

00:16:49.180 By what happened yesterday

00:16:50.580 It went

00:16:51.760 Far beyond

00:16:53.320 What I expected

00:16:54.140 And I may have

00:16:56.020 Forgot some people

00:16:56.840 I apologize

00:16:57.880 If I forgot you

00:16:58.960 It's just because

00:17:00.280 I was so busy yesterday

00:17:02.780 Meeting friends

00:17:03.800 Friends in independence

00:17:05.220 That's what I call you
