John Bolton - Are You Ready To Rally？! - #IAmAlberta Rally Details (with Mitch Sylvestre)

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along today. And the big day is almost

00:00:05.540 here. And that would be Saturday for the I Am Alberta rally at the legislature in Edmonton

00:00:12.400 from four until six o'clock. I'm really excited about this. I've been talking about it for weeks.

00:00:17.260 You likely have as well. I'm going to be the emcee. So I am incredibly honored to be part of

00:00:23.840 this event on Saturday and you can be part of it as well. And there's going to be lots of great

00:00:28.360 speakers there. It is going to be a wonderful atmosphere. And to talk to us about what's

00:00:32.900 actually happening, it is my great pleasure to bring on Mitch Sylvester, the CEO of the Alberta

00:00:38.860 Prosperity Project. And Mitch, I'm so excited about Saturday. Yeah, John, so am I. I'm very

00:00:44.380 excited about Saturday. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, it's been coming up over the last couple of

00:00:48.980 weeks, Mitch. And let me ask you to start this off. Why are we doing this on Saturday at the legislature?

00:00:54.820 Well, I think from my perspective, I think we have to start fighting back. And I think that's

00:01:00.380 basically what we're doing. And we have numbers. They have all manner of other powers. And for us

00:01:06.660 to be recognized and seen is that we have to get used to the idea that they see that we are actually

00:01:13.160 there. And the more of us that show up, the more of us they're going to have to contend with, I think,

00:01:19.840 is the best way to put it. And what would you like to see? What would you like to see people do when

00:01:25.340 they get there? I mean, I'm thinking, you know, maybe hats and shirts and anything that's got

00:01:29.620 Alberta on it. Of course, the I am Alberta is sort of the theme of this event happening on Saturday

00:01:35.820 afternoon. Yeah, well, we brought 400 flags in, so we're going to get you the way flags.

00:01:40.820 So we've got all manner of stuff that you could buy at the grounds to support what we're doing.

00:01:49.280 You know what? The biggest thing you can do is just show up, be peaceful, please. Be peaceful.

00:01:55.820 We're not wanting to have any trouble there at all. But the other thing is, is that, you know,

00:02:00.840 showing up is the key to this whole thing. And it's going to be the key to this whole thing moving

00:02:04.200 forward. Now that we've started, now that we've engaged, I believe it's time for us to actually

00:02:08.600 understand that that's our power. Let's have a party from four to six at the legislature on

00:02:13.520 Saturday afternoon. So who is talking? Obviously, you'll be there. You're the CEO of the Alberta

00:02:19.320 Prosperity Project. Who else is going to be talking in the afternoon? Keith Wilson, Chris Scott's going

00:02:23.960 to join us, Jeff Rath, Dennis Modry, Tanya Clements. Those are going to be the speakers,

00:02:29.120 all very capable, very good speakers. They'll all have a different message. And so, you know what?

00:02:34.800 I think it's going to be a fast hour and a half of, of, of people speaking and yeah. And John,

00:02:40.880 thanks for agreeing to emcee. Oh, I'm excited about it. I really am to think, you know, I think I may

00:02:46.800 have mentioned to you, or at least maybe Dennis or maybe Jeff somewhere along the line that what

00:02:51.640 you're doing right here is an historic thing that's happening. You know, it could come the years,

00:02:56.800 a hundred years down the, down the way your, your, your names could be written in the history books.

00:03:02.440 And just to be part of this in a little way is just wonderful for me. I saw Juneau News yesterday,

00:03:07.420 wrote a great article on this. I don't know that you've seen it. Independence Rally at Alberta

00:03:11.340 Legislature, fantastic article on that. So it's really good news. Now, what else I'm excited about

00:03:17.020 is the fact that you've got so many good people working with the Alberta Prosperity Project.

00:03:20.880 I went to your website, albertaprosperityproject.com, link in the description. You've got a lot more

00:03:25.680 buses coming now too, than I even talked about a little over a week ago.

00:03:28.960 Yeah. We've got buses coming from all over Alberta and you know what, that's good. So

00:03:33.080 there's lots of people that want to drive home at night. So we're going to make it easy for them to

00:03:36.640 come. Yeah. So go over there, book your seats. Very simple to do all the information. Again,

00:03:42.040 link in the description. And the other thing I think we've been encouraging people to do, Mitch,

00:03:45.700 is, you know, this is very powerful. This is a fold up phone, but this is my phone.

00:03:49.860 It's hard to see there. It gets kind of lost in my, in my screen in the back there, but

00:03:54.600 very powerful for people. Leave a message, put it on social media. I am Alberta is the hashtag and

00:04:01.200 let other people know about this because it's amazing. Sometimes when I'm talking about events

00:04:05.440 right here on my channel, people will say, I just saw this the other day. That's why I'm here. And

00:04:09.660 we want to get as many people there as possible. Well, we do. We just want to get as many people

00:04:14.280 out there as possible. And you know what? I've organized rallies before. And when I called this

00:04:18.360 rally, I knew that it was time that we needed to get together. It's a feel good thing for everybody.

00:04:24.180 It'll be a feel good thing for everybody in our movement. It'll encourage the people that are

00:04:27.780 working with us by showing up. You can encourage the people that are doing the work if you support

00:04:31.620 what we do. And, and you know what I've seen like during COVID, when we were doing all these

00:04:36.020 rallies, that it was a real unifying thing for, for the people that had the like minds.

00:04:41.300 I think that's great. Great to message there. And the other thing is if you've got an extra seat

00:04:45.540 in your car and you know, somebody wants to come fill the seat, bring them to Edmonton from four

00:04:50.500 to six at the legislature on Saturday. Mitch, I'm really looking forward to it. Looking forward

00:04:54.420 to seeing you. I appreciate your time. I know how busy you are. I know how busy you've been

00:04:58.740 with this independence movement for months now, if not years. Thank you so much for chatting with me.

00:05:03.860 Oh, you're welcome. My pleasure. Take care. Have a good day.

00:05:06.660 And thank you very much. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel
