Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 527 a.m. Saturday, October the 25th. I hope you're
00:00:09.180
having a great start your Saturday morning and a great start your weekend as well. I do have my
00:00:13.260
big blue mug of coffee and because you clicked on this video, I tipped the big blue mug to you today.
00:00:20.160
If you come here often, you know I get up real early in the morning and some people would say,
00:00:24.040
John, it's not healthy. I understand that. I've tried everything, folks. I've tried sleeping
00:00:27.660
pills. I don't like what they do to me, so I live with it and I work with it. And I like to be up
00:00:31.700
early. Today was up even earlier than normal. It's a big day today. I've been waiting for this day for
00:00:37.340
months. I'm a little nervous about it. I'm emceeing the big event in Edmonton at the legislature today
00:00:43.300
for the I Am Alberta Rally for Independence from 4 to 6 p.m. And I'm excited about it. A little
00:00:49.240
nervous, of course, because as an emcee, I don't see myself as the star. We've got some real stars.
00:00:55.140
Here's the agenda I put together. Dr. Dennis Modry will be speaking. Tanya Clemens, Keith Wilson,
00:01:00.900
Chris Scott, Mitch Sylvester, Jeff Rath, Derek from the Unacceptable Fringe will be saying a few words
00:01:06.420
as well. It's my job to keep things moving forward smoothly. And I hope we don't have any disruptions
00:01:11.600
today. I've been thinking about that. Back on May 3rd, we had a group of Aboriginal people who wouldn't
00:01:17.280
leave the legislature grounds because they think they own it. And they screamed into a microphone and
00:01:22.200
they screamed really nasty things into the microphone, the worst things you can imagine
00:01:26.520
into the microphone for two hours straight while the rally was going on. I hope we don't have
00:01:31.220
anything like that today. But I'm kind of prepared for it. But I think it's going to be a very, very
00:01:39.400
exciting crowd. Be peaceful if you're going. I'm going to tell you how you can get there if you
00:01:45.140
haven't got transportation in just a moment. But I wasn't going to talk about federal politics today.
00:01:51.760
I was just going to leave it because I've got this event coming up this afternoon. I've been
00:01:55.400
preparing for it this morning, getting the agenda and the bios and everything for our speakers together.
00:02:01.820
But I looked at the front page of the National Post today and I realized that independence is needed
00:02:07.500
more than ever because of how ridiculous things have gotten in Canada. Dysfunctional. And I say it all
00:02:16.560
the time and it's almost a cliche anymore, but Canada is a dumpster fire. Let's take a look at the National
00:02:21.160
Post front page today. You realize that Canada has now been reduced to the point where it's arguing
00:02:28.480
over the merits of a speech that was made almost 40 years ago by Ronald Reagan. That's where we are in
00:02:33.940
this country right now. And this has completely shut down any trade talks between Canada and the
00:02:40.940
United States of America because of the stupidity of politicians who live out east. In particular,
00:02:47.140
Doug Ford and Mark Carney. These people are not doing what's best for Canada, certainly not for
00:02:53.080
Alberta, that I want to be independent. Look at the stories here. Look at the front page of the
00:02:57.000
National Post today. Ontario will pull anti-terror Reagan ads in U.S. after running during
00:03:03.720
two World Series games. What Ontario's anti-tariff ad says versus what Ronald Reagan said in his
00:03:10.440
speech. Here are the words Trump doesn't want you to see. Politicians react to Ontario's anti-tariff ad.
00:03:20.420
It's not over. How Reagan-era tariffs brought Japanese auto plants to Ontario. Doug Ford needs to double
00:03:27.700
down, not surrender. Talking about the Reagan ads. Doug Ford gets under Trump's skin, but to what end?
00:03:33.720
Yes, Chris Selle. I did a video on that a couple of days ago. To what end? What purpose did this
00:03:39.820
serve? None at all other than to poke the bear. And this is how ridiculous the country's become.
00:03:45.440
The country is fighting over a speech that was made more than 40 years ago. And here's the amazing
00:03:52.480
thing about this. You've got politicians in the United States who hate Ronald Reagan defending the
00:03:57.480
man now. Because they hate Donald Trump so much. This is unbelievable.
00:04:08.380
As I said the other day, the politicians in Canada need to stop. Well, I didn't put it this way exactly,
00:04:17.020
but the politicians in Canada need to stop looking without and need to start looking within because
00:04:24.800
the enemy is in the house. Donald Trump is a symptom. The liberal parties, the disease. We are here
00:04:35.560
because of the liberals. And now Mark Carney's got another thing to fight against.
00:04:41.600
Pierre Paulieff should an election happen. And it's Donald Trump cutting off all negotiations
00:04:47.300
with Canada. This is where the country is, folks.
00:04:49.440
We've got a rising independence movement in Alberta. Independence is being talked about in
00:04:58.180
Quebec again. A poll earlier this year said there's more people in Saskatchewan who want
00:05:03.280
independence than here in Alberta. I don't agree with that anymore because the numbers are growing
00:05:08.180
here day by day by day. And I think you might see later today when I'm out at the I am Alberta rally,
00:05:16.480
that there's going to be a lot of people showing up saying they just want out. No disrespect, Canada,
00:05:21.940
but our time has come. Now, I want you to see this. If you really want to go but can't get there,
00:05:29.380
there are still some seats left. Albertaprosperityproject.com. Now, what I've done here
00:05:34.340
is this show you where you can buy all the tickets. And as you can see, I've added two tickets to all of
00:05:40.440
these different places. I think there's nine or 10 different buses going. And if you go over here,
00:05:45.100
it'll tell you what buses have actual tickets left. It says the Medicine Hat bus tickets does
00:05:52.960
not have two available. Okotoks does not have two available. Southern Alberta does not have two
00:05:57.920
available. Calgary does not have two available. Red Deer, Lacombe, Pinocca does not have two
00:06:02.560
available. But other places still have some seats. And you might want to get those seats as quick as
00:06:08.460
possible. Most of these buses are sold out. That's good news. This amounts to another 450 to
00:06:14.880
500 people at the rally today. So it's going to be a big one. But go to albertaprosperityproject.com
00:06:20.500
and reserve a seat if you can get one. And if you're taking a couple of people and you got a
00:06:26.300
seat in your car and you know somebody that wants to go take them with you as well. I'm really excited
00:06:31.020
about this. Going to be out there early today. I hope to record people, talk to a few people about
00:06:37.600
why they're there so I can show you what's happening. Maybe tomorrow morning, but for sure
00:06:43.580
on Monday morning we'll have a video about the rally. I'm really excited. I hope you can be there
00:06:48.740
4 to 6 p.m. Alberta Legislature, Edmonton, Alberta. I am Alberta Rally for Independence. I will see you
00:06:56.720
there. If you like the video, give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for
