00:00:00.000hi it's john and welcome to the channel quick video for you today i am outside the big four
00:00:08.340building near the stampede grounds here just outside downtown calgary i had to come down here
00:00:13.540it's about 2 30 in the afternoon i saw pictures of people lining up this morning to sign the
00:00:19.100petition i cannot go inside and show you videos of the petitions i can't do that it's not allowed
00:00:25.640But I was told that between 11 o'clock when things started and 10 after 12, 888 people had signed the petition, and they have a steady stream of people coming in here all the time.
00:00:38.440There's about 300 people inside at tables signing people up, and they're working in shifts of 150.
00:00:45.220Now, I was in talking to Al Burton and some other people at one of the tables, and what was surprising and amazing to me was,
00:00:52.060Back on January 10th, we had an event here in Calgary at the Queensland Community Center.
00:00:57.480Corey Morgan was there, Eva Chipiak, Dennis Kalma, 400 people inside the building.
00:01:02.640But that was the night when about 2,000 people showed up to sign the petition and things started to go crazy.
00:01:09.080That was the first night where we started to see lineups.
00:01:11.820And it's almost every night in the province of Alberta now where we're seeing these huge lineups to sign the petition so we can get a referendum on independence.
00:01:21.000The big event happening tonight at 7 o'clock.
