John Bolton - Fool Politician Triggers Independence Vote - I Called It Months Ago

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 947 p.m. Tuesday, October the 28th. I hope you're having

00:00:10.140 a great evening, a great Tuesday evening. I haven't got any coffee. I've got no big blue

00:00:15.120 mug right now. I came to my computer because my jaw was on the floor and I had to do a video on

00:00:20.280 this. And this video, I guarantee you, will be different than videos you've seen on a similar

00:00:25.260 topic tonight. And it's regarding Thomas Lukaszek's Forever Canadian campaign. And for Christ's

00:00:32.940 sakes, I might've been right back on June the 30th. I talked about this way back on June the 30th. I

00:00:40.820 had all kinds of questions. I've questioned it several times since. I did a video back on June

00:00:47.220 the 30th. Here's the thumbnail from it. Let me show it to you here. Breaking. Former politician Thomas

00:00:54.400 Lukaszek may have just helped get Alberta a vote on independence. That's what I said back on June the

00:01:00.180 30th. I might've been right because it seems that the premier and Keith Wilson, the lawyer,

00:01:08.000 are saying that as well. Now, I will be 100% sure there's going to be a referendum question that we

00:01:14.040 can vote no on using Thomas Lukaszek's signatures and his referendum to become independent here in

00:01:20.420 Alberta. When I actually hear it from the chief electoral officer and the premier says we're

00:01:26.280 having the referendum and there's a ballot being printed, but for Christ's sakes, I might've been

00:01:30.400 right. This is what I said back on June the 30th in my video. The thing that I really want to know

00:01:36.020 about, and we'll let the lawyers battle this out in court, is he's asking people to vote on whether

00:01:41.300 they want to stay in Canada. And that's what the independence movement is doing as well.

00:01:46.300 Do you or do you not want to remain in Canada? That's what Lukaszek's question asks. What if

00:01:52.860 people say, no, we don't? A majority say, no, we don't. And that's why we have to, as independent

00:02:00.000 minded Albertans, pay attention to this. And we need to go out and get people to vote the other way.

00:02:07.060 And it needs to be clear before we vote on whether this is a vote for independence, because I think it

00:02:12.460 is. Mr. Lukaszek cannot have it both ways. If people say, yes, they want to stay in Canada, we

00:02:18.560 stay. If people say, no, you want to get out of Canada, we stay. It can't be both ways. And it

00:02:24.360 needs to be made completely clear if this question actually gets on a ballot. So I think there might

00:02:30.660 be an opportunity here. Mr. Lukaszek may have made a major fail here by allowing us to vote on

00:02:37.120 independence with him and maybe have another one down the road with us, the independence

00:02:42.280 movement. What do you think? I think I was right. And I've said many times since, what's the point in

00:02:51.820 having a referendum if the outcome's the same regardless of how you vote? That doesn't make

00:02:56.960 sense to me. And it didn't make sense to me on July the 6th when I did this video. Why was Thomas Lukaszek's

00:03:03.820 application accepted? I wrote the Chief Electoral Officer of Alberta to find out. And I did. His

00:03:08.720 name's Gordon McClure. And here's what I said. Here are the questions I asked at that time.

00:03:14.240 So subject, questions regarding the recent approval of Citizens Initiative Referendum.

00:03:18.760 I'm writing to seek clarity regarding the recent approval of a Citizens Initiative for a referendum on

00:03:23.520 the question. And this is the question they want. Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?

00:03:28.020 I would appreciate it if you could address the following questions concerning your approval of this

00:03:33.260 initiative. Number one, assuming the response options for this question are yes or no, what would be the

00:03:40.940 outcome if a majority of Albertans vote no? Two, if the outcome remains the same regardless of how people

00:03:47.860 vote, what is the purpose of this referendum question? More importantly, why was it approved?

00:03:54.000 Three, should time, effort, and taxpayer money be spent on a referendum that, regardless of the result,

00:04:00.340 maintains the status quo. Four, if the purpose of this referendum is purely partisan, to pressure the

00:04:07.460 Premier into supporting the petition, which appears to be the petitioner's intent, see link below, and I

00:04:12.680 included a link where Mr. Lukaszek basically says that, is this an appropriate use of your office?

00:04:18.220 Your mandate states that, quote, Elections Alberta is an independent, non-partisan, my bold type,

00:04:24.940 office of the Legislative Assembly responsible for administering provincial elections,

00:04:29.460 by-elections, and referenda, unquote. Five, is a petition designed to influence or pressure a single

00:04:35.820 individual, the Premier, a responsible and non-partisan use of your time and taxpayer resources?

00:04:43.200 I believe Albertans deserve clear answers to these questions before this initiative proceeds any

00:04:48.180 further. Thank you for your time and attention to this manner. So, of course, I was...

00:04:52.460 So, I did get an answer, and all they did was cut and paste information off the Elections Alberta

00:04:57.960 website. That's it, from the Chief Electoral Officer. That's all I got. Didn't answer any of my questions

00:05:04.140 clearly. Not one question. But folks, we may be closer to an independence here, and a vote on independence

00:05:11.720 because of what this idiot Thomas Lukaszek did. I don't want this to be made clear damn soon, right now.

00:05:20.700 I guess this is just, what, today? But if you ask people if you want to remain in Alberta,

00:05:27.840 yes or no, there are implications if people answer no.

00:05:32.720 There are implications if you answer no. There's got to be. Like I said all along,

00:05:39.020 referendum are for answering questions or getting legislation passed. Do you want to legalize

00:05:44.700 marijuana, yes or no? Well, if more people say no, then it doesn't happen. Well, that's got to be the

00:05:50.000 case here. Now, I understand there were different type of referenda when it comes to the province

00:05:55.380 of Alberta. This is a pretty clear question. Here's Keith Wilson, the lawyer. Here's the best

00:05:59.480 evidence to show how badly Lukaszek misled his supporters, and that he has now triggered a 2026

00:06:05.060 referendum on independence. His petition was not about forcing a vote in the legislature.

00:06:09.900 And I said that in my question to the chief electoral, this was Thomas Lukaszek trying to

00:06:17.940 influence the premier, a single person. Is this how we use referenda in our province? Because that's

00:06:24.840 all that was about. It's right there. His petition was not about forcing a vote in the legislature,

00:06:29.280 but that's what he said in interviews. Read his application. He just filed the signatures needed

00:06:36.040 to cause a referendum. Thanks, Thomas. And if you look right down here, therefore, we as represented

00:06:42.580 by the signatory and applicant below propose a referendum on the following question. Do you agree

00:06:48.400 that Alberta should remain in Canada? Period. I say no. And I want my vote to count if this gets on a ballot.

00:06:57.620 And I think now, the Alberta Prosperity Project, that should be our plan. To put the pressure on the

00:07:05.200 chief electoral officer and the premier of this province to ensure that our vote will count if

00:07:10.340 this goes to a referendum question. Because you can't have it both ways, Mr. Lukaszek. You can't have

00:07:17.240 it both ways. This is amazing. I can't believe what I was thinking about back on the 30th of June.

00:07:27.620 May actually come true. What do you think? It's unbelievable. What do you think? If you like

00:07:36.360 the video, give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I will

00:07:40.360 see you in the next one. Wow.
