00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the Independence Calendar for Sunday, June the 28th.
00:00:07.880 It is episode 28 today.
00:00:09.780 Thanks so much for being here.
00:00:11.400 And this is going to be a short Independence Calendar today.
00:00:15.800 And I apologize for going over some of the same ground I went over early this morning
00:00:21.240 on my first video of the day.
00:00:23.340 I wanted to get out some information about a cruise to Tabor and one going on in Edmonton
00:00:28.040 today.
00:00:28.380 I'm going to talk a little bit about that in just a moment.
00:00:31.040 I do have something new for you on the calendar today.
00:00:33.980 I asked you to send me pictures of independent signs on your lawn.
00:00:38.020 You've sent me some, not a lot yet, more are getting out there.
00:00:41.120 I suppose we'll see more pictures as we move forward on the calendar.
00:00:44.840 I would like you to send pictures of yourself with the signs.
00:00:48.540 It's going to be pretty boring to see a bunch of signs on lawns without people in them.
00:00:52.300 So if you could send pictures of yourself with your signs, that would be great.
00:00:56.320 I'll have that for you in just a moment.
00:00:57.660 But by the way, my email address, johnboltonab at gmail.com.
00:01:02.820 Now, this morning, I wanted to bring attention to this event here.
00:01:06.360 You're seeing this after 11 o'clock on Sunday, June the 28th.
00:01:10.200 I'm on my way to Tabor today, and right now, I might even be there as you're watching this.
00:01:17.020 A group of people left at 9 o'clock this morning.
00:01:19.320 But if you live in the Tabor area, you can meet by Corey Morgan's Choose Alberta sign down at 3 o'clock in the Tabor area today.
00:01:27.660 hope to see you there. This event happening at 1 o'clock today up in the Edmonton area, 266th
00:01:34.680 Street at 114th Avenue, Atchison, Alberta. And they're going to be meeting at Jason Levine's
00:01:40.520 sign at 3 o'clock this afternoon. So I hope to see you in Tabor. And if you can be part of that
00:01:45.300 other event, go out and do that today. Other things going on. Let's Talk Alberta. Very busy.
00:01:51.260 They're around the province. They've got some really cool events coming up. One going on right
00:01:55.280 now. Let's get down here and show you what's happening. This is happening right now, today
00:02:00.600 to the 30th at the Pinocchio Stampede Wild West Trade Show from 10 till 6. Let's Talk Alberta is
00:02:08.060 there. This event coming up, which I expect to be at on Wednesday, it's Albertans Day Rally in
00:02:14.520 Mirror at the Whistle Stop Cafe. You're going to have Tamara Leach there with her band. Keith Wilson 0.97
00:02:19.660 will be there speaking, Corey Morgan and others, lots of vendors. It starts at 10 o'clock in the
00:02:24.840 morning, ends when it's done. And these events actually coming up as well, Wednesday, July 8th,
00:02:30.380 more on July 22nd, July 23rd, July 24th. And the website is letstalkalberta.com.
00:02:38.440 Also coming up this week, Monday night, June 29th in Edmonton, this event with The Levine Show,
00:02:44.820 Jason Levine. Here is his website, thelevineshow.com forward slash TPA. Matt Rowley,
00:02:50.360 Dennis Kalma, Bruce Party, will be talking about the Constitution. Let me bring my face up on the
00:02:57.120 screen. There we go. Not necessarily doing huge presentations here, but asking for your input
00:03:03.200 on the Constitution. If you'd like to get tickets, they are free. Go to thelevineshow.com forward
00:03:08.200 slash TPA. But donations are welcome for Jason's third-party advertiser so he can get more signs
00:03:14.640 out there and do more events like this. Then we've got this going on. My friend Wade in Sylvan Lake
00:03:21.220 is going to have this event going on on July 4th at 2 o'clock. Alberta Women's Independence Network,
00:03:26.820 Kathy Flett and Angela Tabak, right on his peace sign at his home there. So you might want to check
00:03:32.740 this out. Everyone is welcome at this address right here in Sylvan Lake. And then this is coming up,
00:03:38.560 and I'm really excited about this. I will take my face off the screen for this. The Telethon for
00:03:43.500 Independence, Saturday, July the 18th from 11 to 11. All of these YouTubers will be involved and
00:03:50.460 many others. I'm actually having a Zoom meeting with a lot of these people this week. A lot of
00:03:54.940 things happening behind the scene with the Telethon for Independence. We need to raise a lot of money.
00:04:01.160 I put out this video just last week. In the independence movement, we're lucky to have a lot
00:04:06.700 of great leaders, a lot of great speakers, and a lot of great volunteers. You know what we don't
00:04:13.880 have a lot of? Money. We're going to need a lot of money. Prior to this referendum campaign, I had
00:04:21.680 people say we'll need at least five to six million dollars. Some of the third-party advertisers are
00:04:28.260 doing great right now, bringing in tens of thousands of dollars, but that's a long way
00:04:33.960 from millions. And think of this, every political party in the country is going to be coming into
00:04:39.620 Alberta this summer and into the fall to stop the Alberta independence movement. That includes
00:04:45.540 Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives. All the MPs you voted for in the last election are going to
00:04:51.860 be trying to stop you. And then there's the CBC. Yes, the CBC. Do you really think the CBC is going
00:05:01.040 to give the Alberta independence movement a fair shake when it comes to this referendum? Not a
00:05:06.360 chance. And what really should bug you about that is $1.4 billion goes to the CBC every year and
00:05:13.160 they're going to be using your money to fight Alberta independence. And how do we fight back?
00:05:18.420 Well, here's the plan and this has never been done before. Coming up on Saturday, July the 18th
00:05:25.720 from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m.,
00:05:28.540 the Telethon for Independence.
00:05:30.760 The idea is to stream this
00:05:32.440 on all the independence channels on YouTube
00:05:35.040 at the same time,
00:05:36.580 including The Fringe, Talking to Albertans,
00:05:39.480 my channel, Chris Scott,
00:05:41.540 Berta Proud Dad, Igor, and many others.
00:05:44.600 We'll have a lot of the leaders
00:05:45.860 of the independence movement,
00:05:46.840 including Mitch Sylvester, Jeff Rath,
00:05:49.520 Dennis Modry, Keith Wilson, and others involved,
00:05:52.280 and you're going to be an integral part of this,
00:05:54.520 raising money for the independence movement. We've got a studio in Calgary and Edmonton.
00:05:58.960 We've got some other studios set up and we've got some surprises on the way as well. So I hope
00:06:03.400 you can be part of it. It's coming up again Saturday, July 18th, 11 to 11, the telethon
00:06:09.660 for independence. See you there. The telethon will be supporting a number of the third party
00:06:17.780 advertisers. Some of them are doing just terrific. Corey Morgan, close to a week ago,
00:06:23.420 said he'd already raised $80,000. He's got to be getting close to $100,000. A Rise of Alberta
00:06:29.220 tweeting this out, Let Alberta Decide. Keith Wilson, Tanya Clemens, over $100,000 already.
00:06:35.240 I think Keith said in a video he put out yesterday, it's closer to $110,000 in a week, which is just
00:06:41.920 amazing. By the way, go over and follow Let Alberta Decide on X. They've actually posted
00:06:47.620 the full launch of Let Alberta Decide from downtown Calgary, which included this handsome
00:06:52.680 guy right here. Nice to have the media here. We appreciate you coming out today. We really do.
00:06:56.560 Yeah, that's me in a suit. So you can go check that out. And they thanked Igor for actually
00:07:01.720 capturing the full video of the press conference. You may want to go and watch what they said.
00:07:06.760 Really great speeches and a great launch for sure. Now let's take a look at some of the pictures
00:07:11.740 that we got this week. I want to see more of these. It's johnboltonab at gmail.com.
00:07:17.360 Got this from Teresa. I love this picture, Teresa. Thanks so much. This is Tango the Dog
00:07:23.620 with one of Corey's Choose Alberta signs. Rob sent this one in. Nice to see some faces in this
00:07:30.120 picture. Kind of a damp day with the Choose Alberta signs as well. Another one there from
00:07:35.000 Joanne. Bonnie sent this in. I've got to get one of these signs myself. I'll show you a picture I've
00:07:39.580 got in front of my house in a moment with a couple of signs. I think I have some room for about three
00:07:44.720 more across the front of my house, but this is the Let's Talk Alberta sign and letstalkalberta.com
00:07:51.400 to find out about speaking events they've got going on. Gordon sent this one in. Gordon with
00:07:56.820 one of Corey's signs and a three-wheeled recumbent. Gordon, by the way, I have a recumbent, but mine's
00:08:04.300 got two wheels. I ride it quite a lot. I love it. Here's Wade out in Sullivan Lake. Let me make this
00:08:09.940 just a little bit bigger. I think Wade needs some more signs. We need to put more signs out there.
00:08:17.380 And thanks to Wade for sending that one in. Now, here is my front yard. I only have bushes
00:08:22.880 and plants in my yard. But the Choose Alberta sign there, that's from Corey Morgan. Of course,
00:08:28.440 the Levine show from Jason Levine. I'd love to see more faces in pictures. Maybe not that look
00:08:34.060 like this, but that's me in front of Jason's sign out front of my house with my Metatarian
00:08:39.440 shirt on. But send pictures with the signs, maybe picking them up with the person that's giving them
00:08:45.280 to you. Maybe you're with Corey. Maybe you're with Jason. Maybe you're with Chris Scott. Let's Talk
00:08:49.360 Alberta. Maybe you're with Angela Tabak and Kathy Flett with their signs. I'm looking for one of
00:08:54.220 those as well for the front of my yard. But take pictures with your signs. And then Shauna sent me
00:08:59.660 this one as well. And what does it say there? It says, if you break into my home, let me see if I
00:09:04.560 can make it bigger. If you break into my home, your safety ends where my family's safety begins.
00:09:09.600 Terrific. Okay. So there's the signs. We've got Let's Talk Alberta. Choose Alberta. And I think,
00:09:17.220 I'm not sure which one that one is there, but we've got another sign out front.
00:09:21.040 So send me your signs. I would love to see them. I guess that wraps it up today. A short
00:09:26.720 independence calendar for today. If you'd like to get in touch with me, I'm doing my best to get
00:09:32.080 to my email. I'm just awful when it comes to email. I get so much of it. JohnBoltonAB at
00:09:39.340 gmail.com. Send me your pictures of your signs. Maybe we'll have one, your pictures on an upcoming
00:09:45.320 independence calendar. Thanks for watching. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up,
