00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 518 a.m. Monday, May the 11th. I hope you're having a
00:00:08.120 great start to your Monday morning. I trust you had a good weekend as well with the big blue mug
00:00:12.460 of coffee. Thank you so much for being here. And I need your help. And it doesn't matter where you
00:00:19.120 live in the world. I need your help. This is an audience participation video. I am reaching out
00:00:27.140 to you so you can contact me. And here's my email address. I want you to write to me,
00:00:33.380 johnboltonab at gmail.com. As a matter of fact, I think the people outside Alberta
00:00:39.520 might have the most interesting comments here. We'll have to wait and see. So you may have heard
00:00:44.820 that Alberta later this year is going to have a vote on independence, meaning Alberta will leave
00:00:51.900 Canada permanently. And I want your thoughts on this. There's four different groups I'm addressing
00:00:56.520 here, which I'll get to in just a moment. A little bit of housekeeping. So when you write to me at
00:01:01.020 the email address I just gave you, in the subject, put my thoughts on independence. My thoughts on
00:01:08.220 independence. And in the body of the email, put where you're from and your name. You don't have
00:01:13.200 to, but that would be helpful. So let's go to the four different groups. First of all, those of you
00:01:18.440 who don't live in Alberta. You don't live in Alberta. You might live in Canada. You might live
00:01:23.180 anywhere in the world. I want you to tell me if you are for or against Alberta leaving Canada.
00:01:29.360 And here's what's important. Give me a brief explanation why you feel that way. Keep in mind,
00:01:36.720 anybody that writes a paragraph or two, not going to read them. It could be really hard to get
00:01:42.180 through all these emails if people are writing novels. So keep it brief. So now let's move on
00:01:48.020 to the second group. That's the people like myself die hard for independence. I want you to
00:01:53.440 tell me three reasons why you want Alberta independence and briefly explain the first
00:02:00.560 reason. Briefly. Then we've got those people sitting on the fence. Tell me why you feel that
00:02:08.680 way and what would make you vote yes. Okay. Be brief. And then lastly, we've got the people who
00:02:16.240 are dead set against Alberta independence. Now, I disagree with you on this, but I respect your
00:02:23.440 decision. Be respectful, okay? Be respectful when you write to me, but give me three good reasons
00:02:30.720 why Alberta should stay in Canada and briefly describe your first reason, okay? And again,
00:02:37.740 it's very important that everybody is brief. So once again, my thoughts on independence in the
00:02:43.480 subject line, your name, where you're from, and if you're in one of these categories, tell me what
00:02:49.400 you think about Alberta independence with the criteria I just discussed. And here's what I'm
00:02:54.160 going to do. It might take a long time to get through them. It depends on how many email I get,
00:02:59.180 but I plan on giving you a breakdown of what people are saying because I'm genuinely interested
00:03:04.140 in your thoughts on this matter. It's a short video today. Sometimes I think those are the best
00:03:09.760 ones, but I need your help. Again, write to me, johnboltonab at gmail.com. I'm looking forward
00:03:17.180 to hearing what you have to say. Thank you very much for watching. If you like this video, give
00:03:22.260 it a thumbs up. Please subscribe to the channel. A lot of you watch every day and you're not
