00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 451 a.m. It is Saturday, April the 4th. I hope
00:00:08.280 you're having a great start to your Saturday, a great start to your weekend as well with
00:00:12.100 the big blue mug of coffee. Happy Easter weekend, by the way. I didn't do that yesterday
00:00:16.940 on Good Friday. I apologize for that. And before I get into today's video, I want to
00:00:22.560 say that today is Canvasser Appreciation Day across Alberta. So if you live in Alberta
00:00:27.020 and you see a petition pop up anywhere,
00:00:29.880 just stop for a moment, walk up, say hi, say thanks,
00:00:33.620 shake a hand, take a picture,
00:00:35.780 send it to letsgoalberta1 at gmail.com.
00:00:39.440 We're going to put together a video
00:00:41.100 of all the pictures that we get in.
00:00:42.600 I'm going to be dropping by a whole bunch of places today.
00:00:45.160 I've got chocolate eggs to hand out.
00:00:47.020 I do have some chocolate bunnies as well.
00:00:49.000 And no doubt, I expect to be reported
00:00:51.440 to Elections Alberta by the Forever Canadian people,
00:00:54.820 just like I was for Bouncy Castle Day back on March the 7th. If you haven't seen yesterday's
00:01:00.240 video, go back and watch it. You will not believe it. I was reported for a bouncy castle.
00:01:05.780 So anyway, let's take a look at why Alberta needs to leave Canada. And it's for our sanity. Many
00:01:12.000 other things, the money, the fact that our natural resources are locked in the ground,
00:01:16.160 but we need it for our sanity, folks. I really do. And listen, you may live in the rest of the
00:01:21.500 country, you may want to get the hell out as well after you see some of these stories. And you may
00:01:25.920 have seen some of these this week. Some may be brand new, but they're all equally crazy. I'm
00:01:30.120 going to go through them quickly here. I'm talking very fast this morning. Lots of coffee in me.
00:01:34.840 Going to go through them quickly without a lot of commentary. Here's the first story right here.
00:01:40.420 Serving Starbucks in English might be racism. Saskatchewan court hears. This is not an April
00:01:46.380 fool's joke, folks. This is true. Quickly from the story, in Saskatchewan, the authorities are
00:01:52.100 currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language. It all started at the
00:01:56.820 Starbucks in Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casilla, a Filipino woman,
00:02:02.180 tried to order in Tagalog. The employees taking her order refused, saying she would receive a
00:02:07.640 formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casilla then filed a human rights
00:02:12.900 complaint claiming that the English-only policy amounted to discrimination based on race, color,
00:02:19.620 ancestry, place of origin, and nationality. Now, folks, is it reasonable to think that if somebody
00:02:24.960 walks into a coffee shop, they should be served in their own language? I find it quite rude if
00:02:30.320 everybody in the room, and in Saskatoon, pretty much everybody in the room ordering something,
00:02:35.040 probably spoke English. And if you're standing around speaking another language and you're
00:02:39.100 behind the counter, I find that rude. And I think it's good policy for companies to say,
00:02:44.260 speak in English, only in English. And maybe it's the fact that we have too many temporary
00:02:50.060 foreign workers here. Most coffee shop across the country now has people who aren't from here
00:02:55.440 working behind the counters. Meanwhile, we've got a 14% youth unemployment rate here. This is just
00:03:01.380 story number one. Story number two, let's move on to that one right now. We have this, this story
00:03:07.800 from black locks behind a paywall. But you'll get the gist of the story here. Now, this is Lena
00:03:12.660 Diab, folks. This is the immigration minister under the Liberal Party in Canada. The story
00:03:18.320 from yesterday. She's been asked to resign many times. She's incompetent. Look at the immigration
00:03:23.100 system. So here's the story. Shamed Canada over slavery. Immigration Minister Lena Diab's
00:03:30.380 department drafted a citizenship guide expressing shame for Canada over slavery. Access to
00:03:35.740 information records show. The Guide for New Canadians Studying for Their Citizenship Test
00:03:40.160 urged readers to reflect on the country's shameful past. Many black people were brought to Canada
00:03:46.260 as enslaved people. So the liberal government under this woman,
00:03:51.820 the first thing they want people to see when they come here, not be happy that you're here,
00:03:57.440 be grateful that you're here, feel blessed that you're here, is to look back a couple of hundred
00:04:05.680 years when some black people were brought here and to tell these people that canada is a racist
00:04:10.320 country that's what this liberal government wants to do moving on to the next story well you've
00:04:16.000 probably seen this it's to assist me in better using the card by forming a straight straight
00:04:24.000 line behind the microphone um with a prominently displayed equity card if i see speakers ahead of
00:04:30.160 you who are not holding a card prominently it would be wrong of me to guess about their gender
00:04:34.640 identity and I will come to you. This applies so far according to your rules for gender identities
00:04:42.060 other than a dude. The NDP convention got worldwide attention and none of it was good. I saw stories
00:04:48.460 from England, from Australia. Joe Rogan talked about it the other day, mocking these people. The
00:04:53.840 fact that people like this walk amongst us is stunning. Some of these people you're working
00:04:58.720 with right now. Stay away from these people. And somebody wrote off on this policy at their
00:05:03.900 convention for these equity cards. This is Jack Layton's party today. Abby Lewis obviously agrees
00:05:10.760 with this kind of stuff. And you may say, John, this is the NDP. There are people in the Liberal
00:05:15.640 Party who are perfectly fine with this kind of nonsense. Now we move on to the Liberal Party
00:05:20.140 again. Gary Anandasangari, public safety minister, if I remember correctly, totally incompetent when
00:05:26.640 it comes to what he's doing right now. He knows nothing about guns, but of course he's heading up
00:05:31.480 the liberal gun buyback program, which reached a milestone the other day on March 31st,
00:05:36.460 people can no longer be compensated if they hand in their weapons. It's been a disaster.
00:05:43.700 And soon, law-abiding citizens will be considered criminals because people just don't want to hand
00:05:49.120 their guns in to the liberal government. And Ananda Sangary was being questioned
00:05:53.040 in a committee meeting the other day. What's coming next? And listen to what he says.
00:05:58.140 Minister, the declaration period for firearms owners is scheduled to end next week.
00:06:03.020 So far, only 2.5% of the estimated 2 million affected firearms have been declared,
00:06:08.100 and 98% of firearms owners haven't made a declaration.
00:06:11.920 So if they're not declaring by next week, what's your plan, Minister?
00:06:14.900 And the plan we have is as of March the 31st, the time to complete the enrolment will be done.
00:06:24.360 and then the RCMP and other agencies will be available throughout the spring and the summer to do the collection.
00:06:35.120 So, Minister, you're saying that RCMP members, we just heard an Auditor General report saying we're short 3,400 members,
00:06:40.900 we're dealing with a wave of violent crime across this country,
00:06:43.420 and you're saying that your plan is over the spring and the summer to deploy RCMP officers to go door-to-door to firearms owners?
00:06:50.280 Ananda Sangary goes on to say, oh, but you have to understand the people going door to door,
00:06:54.340 they'll be off-duty officers and people who are retired in little mobile units they're going to
00:06:58.740 have going around Canada to find the guns. Well, that's great. Off-duty officers getting paid
00:07:04.120 probably double or triple time. Retired officers probably getting paid a lot of money. And it's
00:07:09.640 just good money after bad. There was this story here. I don't know that you saw this one.
00:07:13.820 Gun buyback has cost $24,000 per gun. For every three guns taken in, the government could have
00:07:19.560 instead hired another police officer unbelievable now we've got this story here of course we're
00:07:26.760 looking for pipelines to get to the coast here in alberta the memorandum of understanding of
00:07:32.200 course between alberta and the government with all these hoops alberta has to jump through just to
00:07:37.080 get a pipeline we've got this story here exclusive from the western standard bc ndp orders secret
00:07:44.120 campaign to kill Alberta's planned new northern oil pipeline. Well, of course, they're doing that
00:07:49.440 as well. Then we can move on to this story. And folks, honest to God, when I saw this story the
00:07:54.940 other day, I saw it on the 1st of April. I almost retweeted it when I was on X. I don't spend a lot
00:08:01.340 of time on X, but I didn't because I looked at the story and I thought, this is an April Fool's
00:08:06.360 joke but folks this is real leftist media says moon mission is a colonial attack on indigenous
00:08:15.440 beliefs this is real this is from the walrus magazine a little bit of a story before beginning
00:08:22.120 this article let us all acknowledge that nasa's this is great let us all acknowledge that nasa's
00:08:27.720 artemis 2 space mission is going to be traveling around unceded territory that may well be the
00:08:33.980 traditional home of microbial life forms who have lived there peacefully for generations and have
00:08:40.520 no wish to be disturbed, plundered, or colonized by aggressive invasive western culture. Well done
00:08:46.540 with the moon land acknowledgement, Michael Higgins. I appreciate it very much. Such is the
00:08:51.580 state of the colonial outrage industry these days that it can be tough when reading some articles,
00:08:56.820 especially on April 1st, to decide whether or not they are a joke. This is true. The article
00:09:02.520 argued in The Walrus that the mission was a colonial expedition centered on making the rich
00:09:07.460 richer with the aim of eventually stealing the moon's natural resources, all while using Nazi
00:09:12.800 technology. The whole space exploration thing, said The Walrus, would also desecrate a site
00:09:18.680 sacred to Earth's indigenous population, namely Tipiskawi Pism, the Cree name for the moon.
00:09:26.100 Folks, this is a true story.
00:09:31.040 This is the country you live in.
00:09:33.540 Then we move on to this.
00:09:34.620 I think this is great.
00:09:35.960 What Canada could do with the $90 billion it's blowing on high-speed rail?
00:09:41.840 And I love this.
00:09:42.900 I'm totally against this.
00:09:44.240 This is a legacy project.
00:09:46.380 Justin Trudeau announced this just before he resigned.
00:09:49.640 This would have been late 2024, I guess.
00:09:51.800 Things we could do with this money, there's a few of them for you right here.
00:09:55.860 solve Canada's electricity deficit, deliver all that LNG the world is clamoring for.
00:10:01.760 It could triple our Pacific oil exports, establish a Canadian moon base as well.
00:10:07.240 It's just absolute madness that they're spending this money. Then there is this.
00:10:13.800 Doug Ford praises Mark Carney and appeals for a majority liberal government ahead of by-elections.
00:10:19.720 I'll bet you people in Ontario thought when you voted for Doug Ford, you voted for a conservative.
00:10:26.680 He all but gave Carney his blessing during the election campaign.
00:10:30.940 He doesn't much like Pierre Polyev.
00:10:33.020 But we've got three by-elections coming up on the 13th.
00:10:36.540 So in less than two weeks, folks, there will be a liberal majority in Canada.
00:10:41.320 And then you have a story like this.
00:10:45.060 This is what we are calling Task Force Guardian, a protective effort.
00:10:49.720 a reassurance effort for the community. We're here at Holy Blossom Synagogue. We appreciate
00:10:54.520 that it is Passover. It's a time of the year when many members of the Jewish community will
00:10:58.680 congregate. But there will also be additional locations, areas of critical infrastructure,
00:11:03.720 downtown, tourist attractions, and things like that. It's understandable that some people might
00:11:08.040 find this to be something they're not used to seeing. I would reassure members of the public
00:11:12.920 with those feelings that this is not at all meant to alarm, that this is not at all an indication of
00:11:17.560 of an imminent threat. What this is, is the Toronto Police Service deploying highly trained
00:11:22.340 officers. It's about protection. It is certainly not intended to frighten the public, frighten
00:11:28.140 bad actors perhaps, and we appreciate that they do exist. And this is one measure that
00:11:33.020 we are putting in place to be ready for anything that might happen.
00:11:36.880 i find it what's the word i want to use here what's the proper adjective unbelievable
00:11:48.880 that this could be happening you've got heavily armed police officers in toronto protecting
00:11:58.960 synagogues and jews from who
00:12:02.560 well we know the answer to that but nobody's trying to solve that problem but I mean I consider
00:12:12.660 myself a child of the 80s and I can't imagine 40 years ago thinking that this would ever be
00:12:19.160 possible in Canada it's disgraceful meanwhile in the same list of stories you just went through
00:12:25.400 police officers are going to be going door to door to take guns from law-abiding citizens
00:12:29.940 all of these reasons are just just get stacked on top of the reasons i want alberta to leave canada
00:12:36.420 the riches we would have if we did being able to get the natural resources out of the ground the
00:12:42.200 freedom from the country that holds us back and then all this kind of stuff and that's just
00:12:47.180 a few of the things that you see on a daily basis from media across this country alberta's got to
00:12:55.500 leave Canada.
00:12:57.500 Gotta leave it for our sanity.
