Transcript
00:00:00.000
It's on the phone with Mr. Albert and just, oh, hello.
00:00:04.380
I was on the phone with Mr. Albert a few minutes ago and I said to him, what the hell have you done?
00:00:10.880
And he was laughing on the phone because he's the one that made this happen today.
00:00:15.080
We got to give him credit and Mr. and Mrs. Albert for what they're doing.
00:00:21.980
And my wife and I plan on going to a restaurant if we could fit in.
00:00:30.000
Hi, it's John, and welcome to the Independence Calendar.
00:00:37.020
I hope you're having a great Sunday, a great Father's Day, and a great first full day of
00:00:46.040
It has been a busy week, and some really good news over the last week or so.
00:00:51.180
First off, I'll start talking about what happened in Sundry, an amazing Saturday in Sundry.
00:00:56.980
I've got some video footage on that for you in just a moment.
00:01:00.000
I'll be talking with John, talking to Albertans on the calendar today about a signed giveaway
00:01:06.700
he's got coming up today, which would be Sunday, June 21st.
00:01:10.400
Had a number of third-party advertisers get in this week, a couple of good ones.
00:01:14.060
One finally got in, and we're going to call on Gordon McClure, Chief Electoral Officer
00:01:19.400
of Alberta, to go after this third-party advertiser for fines that I think must be levied against
00:01:29.320
He was in Sundry yesterday with so many other people, so many other people.
00:01:38.720
By the way, he got 500 of his signs out in the last couple of days.
0.89
00:01:46.960
I was part of an event in downtown Calgary on Friday.
00:01:50.120
Quick interviews with Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens about their new third-party advertiser,
00:01:56.780
something I'd like you to do. You know, during the petition campaign, it was very exciting.
00:02:02.860
You guys were sending in pictures regularly. I've got something like that coming up.
00:02:06.320
And I do have something that's percolating right now. That's very exciting right now.
00:02:12.160
Many people asked me about it yesterday because I've been talking about it,
00:02:15.840
but I can't reveal what it is as of yet. Today, I'm going to be working on it. And hopefully by
00:02:20.740
Wednesday, I can tell you about this major event that should be coming up in July. So stay tuned
00:02:26.200
for that big project is coming up. So let's talk about Sundry. So the story goes like this. Now,
00:02:33.580
I believe most of what happened here was miscommunication, a little bit of a disagreement.
00:02:39.740
The parade got canceled. Unfortunately, it was canceled. And we didn't want to hurt the people
00:02:45.440
in Sundry. The parade was a big part of what they did. But boy, did it get big yesterday.
00:02:51.880
day. Now what I'm going to do is start off by playing a short little video and a story that
00:02:56.700
was done by City TV News, I think it was, about what happened yesterday. We'll talk about it and
00:03:02.700
then I'll tell you what actually happened, which was just a great day for sundry. So let's check
00:03:08.820
out that story right now. What started as a meetup at a number of communities in Alberta
00:03:17.120
has led to this a convoy of vehicles cruising the streets of sundry horns honking flags waving
00:03:25.280
this all started as the cancellation of the sundry parade over controversy about a pro-alberta float
00:03:31.360
has led to a replacement parade that an alberta separatist group is calling a cruise the options
00:03:37.340
there too for people with the flag canadian flags to go by they're always welcome to do that too so
00:03:42.400
And I know there's a lot of angst in the province right now and in Canada.
00:03:55.320
Well, according to Darby Crouch, the Sundry Parade spokesperson,
00:03:58.760
she says the parade cancellation was because of threats and harassments towards her volunteers.
00:04:04.120
Participants of the cruise are upset that it's come to this,
00:04:07.340
a decision by parade organizer to exclude a float with Alberta flags.
00:04:11.000
And it's sad because parades are not about that.
00:04:14.480
It's about fun, it's about kids, it's about celebrating the communities around
00:04:22.800
Either way, this unsanctioned parade, which has no affiliation with the town,
00:04:30.860
expects the attendees to follow all traffic laws and cruise peacefully.
00:04:37.960
Where does your head go when you see this little angel?
00:04:40.020
what do you tell her? I just tell her that we don't want to push opinions but we're allowed
00:04:48.240
to have them and we just want to enjoy the activities with everyone else and the volunteers
00:04:54.140
that take the time to put it on for everyone. Chris Scott, owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe,
00:04:59.360
continues to be outspoken about the parade organizer's decision to cancel the sundry
00:05:03.720
parade. Says he sees no problem with political movements participating in parades. Now that's
00:05:09.780
The parade's canceled because politics. Like, that's really sad.
00:05:13.740
I hope that we can bring the temperature down on some of the discussion and keep the debate respectful.
00:05:25.960
Overall, not a bad report. I don't like to be called a separatist group. I prefer independence.
00:05:31.160
But not a bad report of what happened yesterday.
00:05:34.860
And, you know, I was talking with Mr. Albertan yesterday and he said, John, this isn't a political thing.
00:05:39.780
This isn't about the independence movement versus the forever Canadian side.
00:05:44.540
The red and white flags of Canada could have been in this cruise we had yesterday.
00:05:55.800
And to, was it Darby Crouch, who was cited in that story,
00:05:59.780
if you got threatened, I feel real bad about that.
00:06:03.240
Nobody I know in the independence movement would do that.
00:06:07.300
We would be mad, but we would never threaten you.
00:06:09.600
And I hope if you have been threatened, you have reported that to the RCMP because that's a crime.
00:06:15.780
Please get back to us and find out who threatened you.
00:06:19.160
Now, as far as the event itself, I'll put up some video here.
00:06:25.240
Somebody told me they went out in front of us before we got into Sundry yesterday,
00:06:30.880
and they recorded all the vehicles going by on the road.
00:06:33.620
It took eight and a half minutes at 80K an hour for everybody to drive by the camera.
00:06:37.820
I don't know whether that's true or not, but there were hundreds of vehicles there yesterday,
00:06:42.660
a sea of blue flags. Everybody was well-behaved. And here's the thing. Here's some pictures of me,
00:06:50.720
along with a lot of other people at a place called, I think it was called Original Tees.
00:06:55.000
Great food, by the way. We were sitting, nine of us at a table, and they had a full restaurant
00:07:00.700
yesterday. The waitress we had was wonderful. She was run off her feet. Jess, who was there,
00:07:07.320
paid for everybody at the table. My wife and I gave our waitress a $40 tip yesterday. I'm sure
0.99
00:07:12.760
she did great. Fringe was there. Jason Levine was there. John talking to Albertans. Many others
00:07:20.040
were there as well. I think all the restaurants in Sundry were full yesterday simply because we
00:07:25.500
went there yesterday and we had a blast. So to the people of Sundry, thanks so much for having us.
00:07:31.560
I walked down the street. Let me just tell you this before I get on to the next little segment
00:07:35.840
of the calendar. I walked down the street and was talking to people, met so many people yesterday,
00:07:41.240
shook a lot of hands. And I said, how do you feel about the parade being canceled?
00:07:46.460
Well, we were pretty upset about it, but this, what we're seeing today is the biggest parade
00:07:51.440
Sundry has ever had. And I said to them, this is the biggest parade Sundry will ever have.
00:07:59.320
It will never be bigger. It was that big and it was a great time. Now let's move on to our first
00:08:05.560
interview. Lots of people handing out signs. Corey Morgan's doing that. Jason Levine's doing
00:08:11.440
that. I've got Corey's sign out front. This is going out front of my house later on. Our friends,
00:08:15.960
Kathy Flett, Angela Tabak, they're going to be giving out signs. And also our friend up in Red
00:08:23.460
Deer, John, talking to Albertans, is having a sign giveaway today I want to tell you about.
00:08:29.500
So here's an interview I did just earlier this morning with John. Welcome, John. Great to have

Sundays. But I want to get your thoughts on Sundry yesterday. I've talked about it on the
00:09:03.920

00:09:08.820
me last night and said, thanks for today because it was a blast. What were your thoughts and how
00:09:13.880

the locals i i drove ahead of the group i wasn't actually in the parade but i was on the side and
00:10:02.940
i was like i'm going to talk to the locals see what they think and the the support was overwhelming
00:10:07.940
like all the locals came out to say hi and to show support there were flags they were ready to show
00:10:14.020
it uh that we were handing out kids my wife and i were handing out uh little little mini flags to
00:10:18.660
the kids and some canadians walked by and were like hey you want a little mini flag and they were
00:10:22.920
like I met like the only two the only two Canadians in sundry so it was great yeah no it was great
00:10:31.200
you know I um I talked to Mr. and Mrs. Albertan yesterday talking Mr. Albertan he said that
00:10:36.360
this was a cruise for everybody yesterday yeah it wasn't just for the people with the blue flags
00:10:41.500
like I've got on my wall back here it certainly was about that because that's what we saw yesterday
00:10:46.440
but it was a day to support sundry we went out for for dinner or lunch after that and
1.00
00:10:52.160
like all the restaurants and sundry were busy yesterday our poor waitress was running herself
0.92
00:10:57.120
off her feet but i think she did very well yesterday when it came to tips and things like
00:11:01.420
that it was it was a great day even though it turned off it turned out to be it started off
00:11:07.120
as something negative and turned into something very positive yeah and i if i can plug myself on
00:11:13.480
your channel a little bit you can you go right i want more people to follow you john anytime
00:11:17.600
time people should follow John go to his all of his social media is so go ahead so I I released
00:11:24.680
the the first video was like the staging ground at the co-op just talking to people and I estimate
00:11:29.640
there was like 150 to 200 cars there like would you agree with that oh I it was probably just
00:11:37.260
at the first but then I noticed when we were driving there were little little uh shoots of
00:11:42.260
cars that were lined up at different points along the road and so I was at the front at the beginning
00:11:46.980
and then by the time we got close to sundry i was in the middle like the line just kept growing and
00:11:51.500
growing and growing uh but then i was like i want to talk to people on the street see what they say
00:11:55.800
so i'm releasing three videos at least one this morning uh let me see what it's called the sundry
00:12:02.260
parade was canceled this is what happened next yeah so maybe leave a link to that one on your
00:12:07.740
channel if you don't mind absolutely but then uh i'm gonna at least uh three more i'm just editing
00:12:12.240
them now and uh there's so many good little conversations that i had i didn't want to have
00:12:16.540
a good three hour video. So I kind of chunked it up. Uh, but I document all the cars that were
00:12:21.840
driving by and all the live commentary. Cause I'm legitimately afraid that the media is going to try
00:12:26.500
to, well, they're going to ignore it or, or say that, Oh, this was just a small little group of,
00:12:31.180
uh, you know, a couple of yahoos and, uh, the town didn't like it. No, I talked to people on
1.00
00:12:36.440
the street. There's a lot of support there. And, uh, people in Sundry were just happy to see us
00:12:41.460
coming yeah well you know i played a video uh just before um people have seen the video already of
00:12:47.220
city news doing a story on it they were pretty fair with it they talked about threats coming in
00:12:52.320
and things like that after the parade was canceled and we don't know anybody like that as i said
00:12:56.720
uh previous on this video because yeah we're recording this after i put pretty much the
00:13:01.880
whole independence calendar together and i said you know if anybody got any threats make sure you
00:13:06.200

to John for getting in touch with me. I talked to him about nine o'clock this morning and go over
00:15:07.120
to his channel. He's got some great coverage of the Sundry event that happened yesterday. He did
00:15:11.560
a great job there. We actually ran into him. Jason and I ran into him in downtown Sundry and had a
00:15:16.980
little chat with him. He's doing great work. So be sure to support John. Go over. I'll put a link in
00:15:22.380
the description and you can subscribe to his channel. Support the guy. He needs more subscribers.
00:15:27.520
Now, it was a big week when it comes to the independence movement.
00:15:31.180
A large third-party advertiser was launched this week.
00:15:39.020
So be sure to support them if you can monetarily because they need money to make this thing happen and for us to win in October.
00:15:45.900
But earlier this week, I was part of an event on Friday in downtown Calgary.
00:15:49.900
I was honored to be asked by Keith Wilson to come out and emcee event for their new third-party advertiser called Let Alberta Decide.
00:15:58.340
And here is their website, by the way, which is terrific.
00:16:00.800
You can chip in with them and what they're going to be doing moving forward to help us win.
00:16:05.140
Alberta's done waiting is the message they're trying to pass along.
00:16:09.180
We've been waiting a long time to get a fair deal in Canada, and it's too late.
00:16:18.020
That would be him at the debate with Jason Kenney about a month ago.
00:16:22.220
And there's our friend Tanya Clemens, who is an outstanding spokesperson for the Alberta
00:16:30.880
And you can also go over here and get some great information.
00:16:33.720
If you're looking for information, some ammunition to fire back at people when they say they
00:16:39.060
want to stay in Canada, you can look here and get a lot of information.
00:16:43.120
Here's just some short clips of me interviewing Tanya and Keith on Friday.
00:16:55.440
You'll have lots of time to get back to your offices to write glowing reviews about what we're talking about here today.
00:17:08.260
Alberta's done waiting as really quite a message that you and Tanya Clemens talked about here, Keith.
00:17:17.400
Well, I've been in nonstop scrums and interviews, so I'm not sure yet.
00:17:21.620
But, you know, I was very pleased with the turnout from legacy media.
00:17:26.320
I don't, I think there was 10 to 12 or more camera crews here.
00:17:33.860
You know, the independence movement needs to move out of its comfort zone, needs to reach audiences in ways that we haven't been doing it in the past.
00:17:43.720
Not that there's been anything wrong with that, how we've done it, but we've got to go further.
00:17:48.440
And so what today was about was sending the message that there's a new approach.
00:18:00.040
We've got to take a sophisticated approach.
0.71
00:18:06.800
We've got lots of strategies and tactics that we plan to deploy.
00:18:10.780
We launched our website this morning, which is letalbertadecide.com.
00:18:15.940
letalbertadecide.com I encourage people to go there I think you'll be impressed with it
00:18:20.180
in terms of the information and accessibility of the information and the tools to help persuade
00:18:24.420
others importantly though we're a registered third-party advertiser we just got that
00:18:29.700
confirmation two days ago and so we are looking for donations to help us fund this campaign
00:18:36.340
we plan sophisticated advertising strategically in time as well as embracing and reaching out to
00:18:44.340
the legacy media making ourselves accessible to them developing other tools and information
00:18:51.700
approaches so that those of us who know that it makes sense for Alberta to become independent
00:18:57.540
can approach our friends and neighbours who haven't yet reached that conclusion and help
00:19:02.420
slowly bring them on to our side so that in four months from now on October 19th people vote for
00:19:09.860
option two which is for a referendum um and the message you're passing along i'll just show it
00:19:15.140
over my shoulder here alberta's done waiting i really really enjoyed both of your speeches
00:19:21.060
i really enjoyed yours because i got what the meaning was behind it you know
00:19:27.380
i remember at the debate with keith and jason kenny and jason kept saying well you know all
00:19:33.380
we have to do is keep negotiating with canada to get a better deal gotta lock arms we're done
00:19:39.700
waiting aren't we right yeah so tell us tell us a little bit about what message you wanted to pass
00:19:44.180
along here today to people and and how you got that message out to the well quite sizable media
00:19:50.020
that showed up today which is great yeah well i guess i look at it from a little bit of a historical
00:19:53.940
perspective too that we have tried alberta has tried very hard for decades and decades and
00:19:59.140
thousands and thousands of people have been on this movement trying to carve out some more
00:20:02.900
sovereignty for alberta within canada and it whether it's the firewall letter or the equalization
00:20:08.100
referendum, the reform party, all these different things that we have attempted to try to reach
00:20:13.560
those goals have all been met with a no. And when we are looking at the future now and trying to
00:20:19.200
move ahead, what are the options for achieving that? I know that we have Jason Kenney advocating
00:20:24.480
for just keep trying, keep doing it. The status quo. Yeah. And our message is, you know what,
00:20:28.840
Alberta's done waiting. We have tried. We're ready to stand on our own two feet. And when we're
00:20:33.180
talking to the media today, they're actually like very gracious. And I'm so thankful that so many of
00:20:37.440
them showed up and can get our message out there because we're trying to reach that group of people
00:20:41.260
that is undecided and they they do struggle with our place within confederation but they're unsure
00:20:46.640
of the steps forward so we need to be able to reach and engage them in conversation and give
00:20:51.160
them some reassurance yeah so what's the plan of doing that we've got four months actually today
00:20:56.020
it's four months exactly yeah that's a referendum it's not a lot of time as summer goes by quickly
00:21:01.060
you know we'll be in it'll be labor day pretty soon so what's the plan moving forward over the
00:21:05.100
next little bit what kind of things you're going to be doing you figure well it's not a lot of time
00:21:09.120
in some ways but in some ways it's a very long campaign period in political campaigns yeah this
00:21:13.540
is a very long one a four month window so we just got to make sure that we're pacing ourselves too
00:21:17.360
so we got the perseverance and the energy reserves to get there but we're going to utilize a kind of
00:21:22.700
a hybrid campaign strategy I guess where we employ a lot of like the standard campaign practices
00:21:26.880
which will be you know putting out media pamphlets resources educational things like that eventually
00:21:33.160
get into door knocking and some of those things but then also employing some of like the latest
00:21:37.880
social media and marketing strategies and we have some really cool technology available to us and
00:21:42.520
some really amazing people on our team that know how to utilize that to best get our message out
00:21:47.960
thanks again to keith and tanya for including me in their big day i played a very small part but it
00:21:53.080
was amazing i even got dressed up for it folks by the way if you want to go to their website
00:22:05.560
Yesterday, two people came up and said they're in on the independent side.
00:22:09.280
One of them would be John, who we talked to quite a bit yesterday.
00:22:13.720
Here is his website if you'd like to support him.
00:22:27.580
I love the blue. So paint the province blue. Albertans built this country's energy,
00:22:33.460
its agriculture, and its work ethic. It's time Alberta decided its own future.
00:22:37.940
Join the movement. Fly the flag and help us reach every corner of Alberta before October 19th.
00:22:43.180
You can go over and support the campaign. Click there to donate so he can get some flags and he
00:22:47.940
can hand them out. Or you can request a flag. And the website is unitedalbertaflags.com.
00:22:54.160
Well done to John. Somebody else is in as well, but they're not listed here on the official list
00:23:00.460
of registered referendum third-party advertisers. If we go down here, we can find John. Where is he
00:23:06.540
here? There's John right there. John Tompkinson, United Alberta Flags. But if we go up here,
00:23:12.160
we'll find somebody else has finally registered, folks. Forever Canadian, Thomas Lukasik,
00:23:24.480
Now, as you know, we've gone over to his website
00:23:29.840
And he talks about how you can donate as much as you want,
00:23:43.640
Now, Gordon McClure, Chief Electoral Officer of Alberta,
00:23:49.340
Mr. Lukasik needs to have the appropriate fines for doing what he's been doing, which as far as
00:23:54.780
we're concerned, is illegal. But he has finally signed up. Thanks to John, by the way, for letting
00:24:01.020
me know about that yesterday. He said he got registered the same day we did, but he's been
00:24:05.480
out there doing all this work and collecting all this money, and we need to find out who his donors
00:24:09.980
are and if they've given more than $5,000, which is the maximum they can give. Now, I was in Sundry
00:24:16.600
yesterday i ran into the fringe i ran into igor john talking to albertans and i ran into my friend
00:24:23.400
jason levine my wife and i have become good friends with paul and jason and his wonderful kids
00:24:28.700
we went for a little walk on the street here's a short segment of what we had to say so this is
00:24:33.640
pretty amazing well done to mr and mrs albertan for making this happen you know i was talking to
00:24:37.780
a few of the people from sundry here today and they were sad that the parade was canceled but
00:24:41.180
this is much longer than they would ever expect a couple people now said the largest one in history
00:24:45.940
We'd have to fact check that, but it certainly is long.
00:24:48.660
There's at least 200 cars that came through Olds.
00:24:51.120
We came from the north, and there was a nice long lineup, so it was really cool to see.
00:24:59.080
There's your sign, and I picked up a sign today.
00:25:06.300
He said he bought eight off you, and he was walking back to his car, and he sold all of them.
00:25:14.940
It's my donation, so God bless him for collecting that,
00:25:19.220
He says he's going to get eight more signs from you.
00:25:24.440
I'm going to have probably eight or ten of them in front of my house
00:25:29.020
We'll get you one of those big four-by-six ones.
00:25:38.720
He's got a billboard up in Edmonton, probably more of those,
00:25:45.780
You can do a donation, check out the events that we're working on,
00:25:49.540
So all of that's on the TPA website, and happy to have you all involved.
00:25:52.880
And by the way, the results have been fantastic.
00:26:02.660
I heard a couple of guys came up to me and said that they've got third-party,
00:26:05.820
their third-party advertisers have now registered, and they're in.
00:26:10.460
I was at the one with Tanya Clemens and Keith Wilson yesterday.
00:26:21.640
There's definitely, if you're taking a look and you're just objectively looking at it,
00:26:24.820
there's one side that's put in a big effort and it's growing fast.
00:26:27.960
Like the TPA for Keith Wilson and Tanya, when they launched their Facebook or their X account,
00:26:33.840
5,000 in less than 24 hours, while the other groups have like 500 or 600 after four weeks or so.
00:26:39.160
there's definitely some support here and i think people are gonna be pleasantly surprised depends
00:26:43.260
on what side but pleasantly surprised at how this is going to turn out i'm so excited about this
00:26:48.340
thanks thanks jason always good to see you my friend always good to see you now let's go find
00:26:51.540
something to eat around here you're gonna eat you betcha thanks a lot to jason always great to see
00:26:56.900
him we'll be talking with him again real soon now here's some things that you can do one of them can
00:27:01.960
help me out here at the calendar in the future i'll tell you about that in just a second but
00:27:06.700
here's something you might want to do. I'm not telling you have to do this, but you may want to
00:27:11.300
do something like this. Let's go back over to our Forever Canadian people. I'm going to just bring
00:27:15.620
the Forever Canadian page up full screen here without me on there. But this is where you can
00:27:22.420
go over and find out where they're handing out their signs. By the way, you have to register
00:27:26.400
and give up your personal information to get one of Lukasik's signs. He's putting together a list,
00:27:32.820
folks. So he can run some kind of campaign in the future, maybe a new political party,
00:27:38.520
God knows what. But here's where they're handing out their signs. And you know what? You could
00:27:43.500
always, if you wanted, go to any number of these different places around the province
00:27:48.440
and put a table across the street and put a sign up in front of your table and say,
00:27:53.440
come here to find out the truth about Alberta independence and maybe draw some of those people
00:27:58.840
over to our side. You could do that. Not telling you you have to do that, but that is something
00:28:05.600
you can do. Go to forever-canadian.ca and click on lawn signs to find out where they are.
00:28:13.640
Now, what would I like you to do as we wrap up this week's independence calendar? I did have a
00:28:19.420
lot of fun. It was a lot of work, I tell you. I had a lot of fun getting your pictures when we
00:28:24.140
were in the petition campaign. And a lot of your pictures that came here ended up on the boxes of
00:28:29.780
petitions that went to Elections Alberta that Mitch Sylvester presented going back almost two
00:28:36.340
months, I guess it is now. What I want you to do now is if you have one of the signs from one of
00:28:42.340
the independence groups like Jason's here or Corey's, or you have a picture from Kathy Flatt
00:28:47.780
or Angela Tabak, they're putting signs out there as well. Or you have a picture of somebody who's
00:28:52.580
handing out the signs. It might be Jason Levine. You're picking up your sign or John, who we talked
00:28:57.200
to on the independence calendar today. He's handing out signs today. Get a picture holding the sign
00:29:02.720
and send it to me. Okay. And in the, in the subject put sign picture, sign picture or sign
00:29:12.380
pick something like that to make it easy for me to find them. And I'll put them on an upcoming
00:29:17.540
calendar. Let's see how many pictures we can get around the province. Just a short little
00:29:21.460
bit of information of where you might have your sign, okay? That's what I'd like you to do in the
00:29:26.200
future. Thank you so much for watching the Independence Calendar. I really appreciate it.
00:29:31.380
Big event coming up. I'm hoping to announce it by Wednesday. I'm on the phone today to discuss
00:29:37.600
how to make it happen. We can do it legally with Elections Alberta. I'll have details on that.
00:29:43.680
Some of you have already said you want to help volunteer. If I need some help, I'll be asking,
