John Bolton - An update from the Independence rally in Calgary. #albertaindependence #albertastrong

00:00:00.000 hey there it's John welcome to the channel and things are really getting

00:00:06.420 busy here at the big four in Calgary they filled up the whole front of the

00:00:10.980 building and this is one big big building they figure there's 4,000 chairs

00:00:16.740 in here or more and it is really exciting here just ran into Jeff Rath

00:00:21.840 just said hi to him he's pretty busy tonight he'll be on stage and we'll get

00:00:25.920 things going in about 15 to 20 minutes wonderful thing about this event tonight

00:00:29.760 is the fact that we've got so many friends here this evening.

00:00:32.880 That's the thing.

00:00:33.520 I walk around, everybody is so optimistic, so cheerful,

00:00:37.240 and really, really into the independence movement.

00:00:40.380 And pretty much everybody I've talked to here tonight,

00:00:42.520 I ask them the question, what do you think the chances are?

00:00:45.460 Are you feeling better about the way things are going?

00:00:48.040 Have you had any apprehension about the movement in the past?

00:00:51.200 Some people say yes.

00:00:52.560 I did feel back in the summer that maybe it didn't get the momentum

00:00:55.780 because it's summertime after all.

00:00:57.620 but most people say over the last several weeks as we've seen more and more people lining up to

00:01:02.560 sign the petition to get a referendum here in Alberta they're feeling much better and thinking

00:01:07.420 that we're going to win this thing so it's an exciting night here at the big four big big event

00:01:12.400 here in Calgary on a Monday night people coming in slowly but coming in constantly and as I said

00:01:18.300 earlier today just in the first hour alone today during the petition campaign 888 people signed up

00:01:25.780 and they're still signing them up downstairs right after work ended around four o'clock here

00:01:30.000 in Calgary you saw a large number of people coming through the doors to sign the petition

00:01:35.140 so if you haven't signed a petition be sure to get out and do that and I've been interviewing

00:01:39.620 a lot of people here tonight and I'll have a video on the channel tomorrow morning about
