Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 520 p.m. It is April the 29th. I do have
00:00:06.040
my big blue mug of coffee, my late afternoon mug right now, and I'd like to
00:00:10.380
thank you for watching this morning's video. Almost a hundred thousand people
00:00:14.300
have watched that one, which is just incredible for my channel. If you liked
00:00:19.160
it, thanks so much. If you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, just click

00:00:27.520
this morning to right now. I appreciate that very much. So a few things I want to
00:00:31.580
just touch on quickly here regarding the election. One thing in particular that is
00:00:36.180
of utmost importance for the separation movement, the independence movement here
00:00:40.140
in Alberta, something that I mentioned this morning in my video happened this
00:00:45.120
afternoon and Premier Danielle Smith announced it. But first off, a number of
00:00:51.180
people putting a positive spin on Polyev and the Conservative Party and what they
00:00:55.400
did yesterday in the election. Candace Malcolm from Juno News, Ezra Levant, a lot
00:01:00.160
of YouTubers that supported the Conservative Party doing the same thing. They got 44% of
00:01:05.180
the vote. But always remember, when you come second, you're the first loser. Polyev
00:01:10.240
didn't even get his own seat. There's talk of somebody handing over their seat to him so
00:01:14.960
he can remain on as the leader of the Conservative Party. We'll have to see how that
00:01:19.620
turns out. But the other big thing you want to keep an eye on, right now the
00:01:23.680
Liberals have 169 seats. They've won or are leading. Three away from a majority. The NDP
00:01:30.780
only has seven seats, decimated. They've been Liberal light for the last two years
00:01:35.960
under Jagmeet Singh. Expect a number of them to walk across the aisle and join the Liberal
00:01:41.620
Party for a majority government. So you can spin the numbers that the Conservatives got yesterday
00:01:47.840
all you want into anything positive you want. But we could have a Liberal majority for the
00:01:53.480
next four to five years in this country and there ain't nothing positive about that at all.
00:01:57.940
Mark Carney and the Liberals are going to rule over the rest of Canada like they can when they have
00:02:05.120
a majority. Now, I want to get on to Daniel Smith. This is amazing. I mentioned this this morning.
00:02:10.440
Rick Bell wrote an article in the Calgary Sun. You might want to check that out. And he said
00:02:14.680
that very soon, Daniel Smith may lower the threshold for signatures to get a ballot for
00:02:21.060
referendum. Daniel Smith walked out this afternoon and said this.
00:02:25.280
We are expanding opportunities for Albertans to be involved in direct democracy by making changes to
00:02:31.440
the threshold needed for successful citizens initiatives. The signature collection time for
00:02:36.540
citizens initiatives will be extended from 90 days to 120 days. We are also improving the process by
00:02:43.060
setting the threshold to be 10% of the number of eligible voters who participated in the last
00:02:49.500
general election. So what does this mean? It means instead of having to get 600,000 signatures to have
00:02:55.700
a referendum in Alberta, we only need to get 177,000. And the time to get those signatures has been
00:03:02.940
extended to 120 days from 90. So is this a coincidence? This happens less than 24 hours after the election?
00:03:11.460
Fascinating. Really fascinating. Danielle Smith firing one of her signature warning shots across the bow of
00:03:21.300
Mark Carney and the Liberal Party. Don't forget this coming Saturday. If you're in Alberta, if you're in
00:03:26.460
Edmonton, head to the Legislature 1 to 3, an Independence Rally. I will see you there.
