00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 441 a.m. Saturday, May the 23rd. I hope you're
00:00:08.540 having a great start to your Saturday, a great start to the weekend as well. I really appreciate
00:00:12.720 you being here today. I do. Thank you very much. Been up since a little after two o'clock this
00:00:17.140 morning. As a matter of fact, the video you're about to watch was already recorded in a different
00:00:22.160 way. It's in my hard drive, edited, ready to go to YouTube. I watched it back. I wanted it to be
00:00:27.080 more friendly. It seemed a little bit tough, a little bit hard, unlike me. But it's an important
00:00:31.880 topic I want to get to today, and it's something that not enough people are talking about,
00:00:36.420 surprisingly, because it's very important. Please stick with me to the end. I'm certainly talking
00:00:41.460 to people who live here in Alberta, but if you live outside of Alberta, another place in Canada
00:00:46.140 or around the world, this is a message for you. We need your help here. You know, I sold cars for
00:00:52.800 about a year during my radio career. I was out of the radio business for a short time. I wasn't
00:00:58.720 good at selling cars because I couldn't ask for the sale. And I'm asking for the sale right now.
00:01:05.180 Here's what was happening. During the petitioning campaign for those four months starting on
00:01:09.600 January 2nd, I got a lot of email from people who lived in British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia,
00:01:16.260 United States, around the world saying, we would like to help you. How can I donate? But you
00:01:20.660 couldn't because you didn't live in Alberta. And there were rules. How much you could give and
00:01:26.360 where you lived determined whether you could donate to the cause. If you didn't live in Alberta,
00:01:30.420 you couldn't donate. But those rules do not apply right now. And I'm asking you for your monetary
00:01:35.780 help right now. This is very important. You can do this from anywhere in the world and give as
00:01:42.480 much as you want right now. You won't be on a list that's going to be used by the government
00:01:46.640 to come after you because some people are concerned about that. Here's where you go if you
00:01:53.460 want to donate. albertaprosperityproject.com is the website. Please go here and donate. You know,
00:02:00.100 we've got so many people who are working so hard for the Alberta independence movement,
00:02:05.060 and these people have boundless energy. The people you're seeing on the screen,
00:02:08.900 these are pictures that were sent to me from people who were canvassing, collecting signatures
00:02:13.920 for those four months I just talked about.
00:02:16.100 These people have lots and lots of energy
00:02:18.240 and they're going to help us win this.
00:02:21.800 But unfortunately, we're going to need a lot of money
00:02:25.320 and we need it now.
00:02:27.260 Now, I have got in touch
00:02:28.720 with the Alberta Prosperity Project.
00:02:30.400 I sent them an email this morning.
00:02:31.620 The only way you can get to the donate page
00:02:33.620 is by clicking on membership for all I can see
00:02:36.120 to find this button to click on donate.
00:02:39.440 And I would like you to do that right now.
00:02:40.980 there should be a giant button on the home screen there saying donate. So if you can
00:02:45.760 give $10, $20, $100, $1,000, if you got deep pockets, $10,000, please make a donation right
00:02:54.600 now because the window is closing on your opportunity to do that. And eventually it will
00:02:59.800 close. Very important. Incredibly important. Because here's the deal, folks. I did this this
00:03:07.840 morning on AI. Love AI. Check this out. I put this together. Message to the world. Alberta
00:03:13.960 independence needs your help. Dollar signs in here. The opposition is massing and Canada is about to
00:03:20.840 swallow us up because they've got unlimited resources to beat us down, to beat us in an
00:03:29.880 upcoming campaign to win Alberta independence. And here's the thing. They're going to be using
00:03:39.280 the money that we send to Ottawa and send it back to Alberta to fight the Alberta independence
00:03:46.520 movement. That's why your support is needed right now. Here's Pierre Polyev. Now, for those of you
00:03:51.060 who don't know Pierre Polyev, he is the leader of the official opposition conservative. He says he'll
00:03:56.260 campaign to keep Alberta in the Canadian family as referendum looms. Polyev, this man right here,
00:04:03.140 is an Albertan. He's from Calgary, where I'm sitting right now. I got this email yesterday
00:04:07.860 from one of the people in his party. This is my MP, Tom Kamich. My province, my country, my vote
00:04:13.940 to stay. Alberta in Canada. He goes down here to say he'll be voting to stay in Canada and
00:04:19.340 campaigning wherever I'm welcome to persuade fellow Albertans that Canada is worth fighting for.
00:04:24.700 He realizes that if Alberta leaves, he's out of a job.
00:04:27.760 Let's put him out of work.
00:04:29.880 And I voted for this guy.
00:04:31.640 I want to see him gone.
00:04:33.540 He can be an MP in an independent Alberta.
00:04:36.860 Now, here's something you need to understand.
00:04:39.240 The opposition is massing against us right now.
00:04:42.900 Politics makes strange bedfellows.
00:04:45.040 But I put this together this morning.
00:04:47.520 All of the people you see on the screen right here now, as far as I'm concerned, are the same.
00:04:53.280 For those of you who don't know, Nahed Nenshi is the head of the New Democrat Party here. He's a socialist. Jason Kenney, former premier of Alberta. Albertans gave him the boot a few years ago. He's fighting tooth and nail. I don't even think he lives in Alberta anymore. Mark Carney, another socialist, prime minister of Canada, no friend to Alberta.
00:05:12.520 Pierre Polyev right here who's trying to keep his job and of course Danielle Smith who many people
00:05:18.020 admire but she is on the opposite side and she's fighting against us as well and these people are
00:05:24.800 going to bring all the resources of Ottawa down against Alberta to beat us so if you can donate
00:05:29.880 to us albertaprosperityproject.com please do that right now. So I want to move on to another topic
00:05:36.820 which is related and important. Last night, there was a Zoom meeting. Mitch Sylvester addressed
00:05:43.660 a lot of people. As a matter of fact, I almost didn't get onto the Zoom call because there were
00:05:48.220 so many people there. I got on right at the beginning. I listened to what Mitch had to say
00:05:52.940 to the canvassers. If you didn't hear what he had to say, might I suggest you watch this video. I'll
00:05:58.780 put a card at the end. This is what I did with Mitch yesterday. It's basically the same message
00:06:05.160 he said last night, but it doesn't include the brilliant questions that I asked Mitch.
00:06:11.160 You're going to enjoy it, so watch that video to get an idea of what happened last night. If you
00:06:15.800 missed Mitch, you couldn't get on that call, or you just missed it, watch that video. There were
00:06:21.780 a few things that Mitch disagreed with me. I might talk about that in just a moment, but here's the
00:06:27.180 thing. We have all of these wonderful people. We're going to work so hard for the independence
00:06:31.680 movement. They've got so much energy and they're very talented. You know, some of the people in the
00:06:35.940 chat were talking about, they have skills in social media and the internet. They have graphic
00:06:40.940 skills. They want to help out. They want to create a campaign. They want to help promote
00:06:44.620 Alberta independence. But so many people putting their energy into hating Danielle Smith and
00:06:51.640 wanting to get rid of her. Now, I understand where you're coming from, but the important thing here
00:06:57.520 is we've got to win this vote. You might not like the question she put up. It might be changed.
00:07:04.420 But we've got to win this thing. And as I said to Mitch in the video I just talked about,
00:07:09.720 that interview I talked about, I said to Mitch, she may have saved the independence movement.
00:07:14.040 He disagrees with me on that. I feel that if we didn't get this question from Daniel Smith the
00:07:18.600 other night, we would have no question at all. That's just the way I feel about it. You might
00:07:23.500 have a different opinion on that. But we need to focus on the prize here, which is winning our
00:07:28.540 independence and focusing energy on Danielle Smith and trying to get rid of her right now
00:07:32.400 is probably not the best way to do that. There are lots of people higher up than me in the
00:07:37.260 independence movement that disagree with me. It's a waste of energy and time right now. Listen,
00:07:43.040 if Danielle Smith doesn't follow through with an independence vote, if we win on the question she
00:07:47.760 provided the other night, there's time to bring your UCP membership to use in the future if you
00:07:55.280 get my drift. What they want right now is they want a divided independence movement. You might
00:08:02.280 have seen this the other day. This is Rick Bell. What? Alberta separatists split on Daniel Smith's
00:08:07.880 referendum question? Yes, we are. And it's dividing us and we can't allow this to happen.
00:08:12.940 And here's the thing. This article in the National Post, they're going to try to stop the question
00:08:18.940 Danielle Smith wants to ask, how the Clarity Act could still apply to Alberta Premier Danielle
00:08:24.400 Smith's referendum question. They're going to go after that as well. So we're going to have to see
00:08:29.880 how they get in the way of a question that she proposed just the other night. I'm going to say
00:08:35.300 to you again, if you live somewhere in Canada, you live around the world, and you want to help us,
00:08:39.820 we need your help. We've got the people here and more are coming aboard every day
00:08:44.560 that have that boundless energy that are going to help us win our independence, but we can't
00:08:49.800 do it without money. And so it's a crass thing to say, but we need your money.
00:08:56.300 Now, for those of you who live in the Calgary area, the Edmonton area, a couple of events
00:09:01.740 coming up I want to tell you about. I'm going to do another video about this later today.
00:09:05.900 this event coming up in Airdrie, just north of Calgary, a few minutes if you drive out of
00:09:10.620 North Calgary. It's a long way from where I live. I live in the south, but it's just north of
00:09:14.760 Calgary. This happening at 12 noon until two o'clock today, Muster Edmonton Trail and Veterans
00:09:20.640 Boulevard. So check that out if you want to be part of that. I can't be part of this event myself,
00:09:26.600 okay, but I will be at this one tomorrow happening in Calgary, meeting at Centennial High School
00:09:33.740 parking lot, 55 Sun Valley Boulevard Southeast. I'm hoping to meet you there. There's also this
00:09:38.720 event that is happening in Edmonton. My friend Tyson in Edmonton told you about this. This one,
00:09:44.720 they're meeting at these places. Please stop the video and you can check out the different
00:09:48.460 meeting places here. There's a bunch of them. It'll just get too wordy here, but this is happening
00:09:52.380 tomorrow from one to four in Edmonton. So if you can attend one of these ones, should be a lot of
00:09:57.200 fun considering what's happened this past week here in Alberta. Thank you very much for your
00:10:02.920 time. This is an important message and we need your help and not enough people are talking about
00:10:07.160 this. If you are a YouTuber, if you're somebody who was out there on social media and you've
