00:06:40.580I think you'll be impressed with it in terms of the information and accessibility of the information and the tools to help persuade others.
00:06:47.020Importantly, though, we're a registered third-party advertiser.
00:06:50.960We just got that confirmation two days ago.
00:06:54.280And so we are looking for donations to help us fund this campaign.
00:06:57.800We plan sophisticated advertising strategically in time, as well as embracing and reaching out to the legacy media, making ourselves accessible to them, developing other tools and information approaches so that those of us who know that it makes sense for Alberta to become independent can approach our friends and neighbours who haven't yet reached that conclusion and help slowly bring them on to our side.
00:07:26.240so that in four months from now, on October 19th, people vote for option two, which is for a referendum.
00:07:34.500And the message you're passing along, I'll just show it over my shoulder here, Alberta's done waiting.
00:07:40.200I really, really enjoyed both of your speeches.
00:07:42.920I really enjoyed yours because I got what the meaning was behind it.
00:07:46.940You know, I remember at the debate with Keith and Jason Kenney, and Jason kept saying,
00:07:54.140And, well, you know, all we have to do is keep negotiating with Canada to get a better deal.
00:08:13.760Well, I guess I look at it from a little bit of a historical perspective, too, that we have tried.
00:08:18.100Alberta has tried very hard for decades and decades.
00:08:20.780and thousands and thousands of people have been on this movement trying to carve out some more
00:08:24.860sovereignty for Alberta within Canada. And whether it's the firewall letter or the equalization
00:08:29.940referendum, the reform party, all these different things that we have attempted to try to reach
00:08:35.400those goals have all been met with a no. And when we are looking at the future now and trying to
00:08:41.040move ahead, what are the options for achieving that? I know that we have Jason Kenney advocating
00:08:46.320for just keep trying keep doing it the status quo yeah and our message is you know what alberta's
00:08:51.120done waiting we have tried we're ready to stand on our own two feet and when we're talking to
00:08:55.420the media today they're actually like very gracious and i'm so thankful that so many of
00:08:59.260them showed up and can get our message out there because we're trying to reach that group of people
00:09:03.080that is undecided and they they do struggle with our place within confederation but they're unsure
00:09:08.480of the steps forward so we need to be able to reach and engage them in conversation and give
00:09:13.000them some reassurance yeah so what's the plan of doing that we've got four months actually today
00:09:17.840it's four months exactly yeah that's a referendum it's not a lot of time as summer goes by quickly
00:09:22.900you know we'll be in it'll be labor day pretty soon so what's the plan moving forward over the
00:09:26.920next little bit what kind of things you're going to be doing you figure well it's not a lot of
00:09:30.720time in some ways but in some ways it's a very long campaign period in political campaigns yeah
00:09:35.200this is a very long one a four-month window so we just got to make sure that we're facing
00:09:38.560ourselves too so we got the perseverance and the energy reserves to get there but we're going to
00:09:42.980utilize a kind of a hybrid campaign strategy i guess where we employ a lot of like the standard
00:09:47.780campaign practices which will be you know putting out media pamphlets resources educational things
00:09:53.700like that eventually get into door knocking and some of those things but then also employing some
00:09:58.580of like the latest social media and marketing strategies and we have some really cool technology
00:10:03.300available to us and some really amazing people on our team that know how to utilize that to best get
00:10:08.980get our message out. I talked to Tanya about this, and we're done waiting. And it was interesting
00:10:14.220because I was thinking back to the debate you did with Kenny, and I mentioned this to Tanya. I mean,
00:10:19.280Kenny's plan was to, well, we just have to sit down and hammer out those deals and get, you know,
00:10:24.160get what we want here. But we've been waiting a long time for that. And that was your message
00:10:28.080back then. And I really heard that from both of you today when you addressed the media and the
00:10:33.940crowd that showed up here today. Well, and that's why we have the campaign slogan of we're done
00:10:37.920waiting yeah yeah i mean we we we supported uh we helped elect in the walrooney government
00:10:43.360and both attempts at amending the constitution failed with the meach lake and charlottetown
00:10:47.960we embraced preston manning's reform movement we sent prime minister harper uh to ottawa and
00:10:54.900made him prime minister we sent jason kenny to ottawa as a minister in many portfolios
00:11:00.260and nothing has changed we're still on bent knee asking ottawa for permission we're still
00:11:06.860held back by Ottawa, were constrained by Ottawa, decisions that affect Albertans are not being made
00:11:13.180in Alberta, they're being made in Ottawa. Through independence, we can elect our politicians
00:11:19.480here in Alberta. If we want to change the criminal code, we don't have to convince the people in
00:11:25.460Nova Scotia and British Columbia, we just need to convince other Albertans. If we want to enter
00:11:31.160into a trade agreement, we don't have to compromise our resource sector in the trade agreement with
00:11:36.100the United States because we're trying to prop up a failing manufacturing sector in Ontario and
00:11:41.700Quebec. When the Bank of Canada right now goes to send interest rates, if the economy in one
00:11:48.040part of Canada is in recession, that would signal that the Bank of Canada should reduce an interest
00:11:52.860rate. If it's on fire somewhere else and the economy is doing well, that should indicate that
00:11:57.280Bank of Canada has to increase them. The Bank of Canada can't make the optimal decision because
00:12:02.380Canada is too big and too diverse. So if we have a bank of Alberta, the bank of Alberta will be able
00:12:07.380to make interest rate decisions that are optimally efficient for the maximum benefit of the economy
00:12:11.800and the people of Alberta. There's so many reasons why this makes sense. This campaign is about
00:12:17.720getting out there and reaching into audiences that are currently would vote no, that would
00:12:24.120currently vote stay, and to proactively trying to neutralize and counter the fear campaign.
00:12:29.920Yeah. Fear is a function of uncertainty. And the more certainty we can provide, the more answers we can provide about how an independent Alberta would work, how the transition will occur, will increase people feeling comfortable supporting independence.
00:12:44.680How did you feel when Keith came to you and wanted you to be part of this? You know, you've been a great voice for independence. You know, you have. You've been out on the road talking to people. I remember meeting you, I think it was at the legislature the first time. You did a great speech there. What were you thinking when Keith asked you to do this?
00:12:57.900Oh, completely honored and humbled and probably like scared the bats off me soon because it's
00:13:05.580Keith Wilson. And I think he's not looking for leadership or to be anything of significance in
00:13:12.280that way. But because of the way he's conducted himself and always been an advocate for freedom,
00:13:16.120I believe that the people on the side of independence have naturally elevated him
00:13:20.280to that level. They look to him for guidance and advice. So to be asked to work with him
00:13:25.200is definitely an honor yeah keith was asked about leadership today when uh he was doing a question
00:13:30.640to answer there he says he's happy to be on stage with other people as well i have to tell you this
00:13:34.480so keith asked me to come out here to mc today it takes it takes a lot of people it takes quite
00:13:41.200a person to get me to wear a suit i'm wearing a suit today so keith asked me very good so thanks
00:13:47.360danielle i know you're you're being dragged that way well done today thanks for talking to me yes
00:13:51.520Thank you so much. Appreciate it. It was an outstanding event. Thanks again to Keith and
00:13:55.580Tanya for allowing me to be a very small part of it. I went downtown yesterday around 10 o'clock,
00:14:00.100didn't leave until 1.30. People milled around to talk about the independence movement yesterday.
00:14:05.540I'm very, very excited about it. You know, my friend Heather Field was there, Dennis Kalma,
00:14:09.660who wrote The Value of Freedom. He was there, had a good chat with Dennis as usual. Dennis
00:14:14.640working on the Constitution, actually going on tour with Jason Levine, with Bruce Pardy and
00:14:19.420Matthew Rowley. Go over to Jason's website, thelevineshow.com, to be part of that, so you
00:14:23.600can see one of those events. I spoke with Dennis yesterday. Eva Chipiak was there. Mr. and Mrs.
00:14:29.060Albertan were there as well. Corey Morgan showed up. I'm sorry if I missed anybody, but I talked
00:14:33.880to everybody yesterday. Berta Proud Dad was there. Hello, Berta Proud Dad. Thank you so much for all
00:14:38.420of what you do for the Alberta independence movement. But we all are very excited about
00:14:43.040this. And yesterday marked four months to the day until the referendum on October 19th. So we got
00:14:47.760four months to win this thing, folks. Again, go over to LetAlbertaDecide.com to support Keith and

00:15:14.780coming up. Going to need your help with this one, but it's going to be very important as well. And
