00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Sunday, June 28th, 2.54 a.m. I hope you're
00:00:08.660 having a great start to your Sunday. I hope you're having a fantastic weekend. I hope
00:00:13.480 you're staying dry. My goodness, we're getting a lot of rain here in southern Alberta right
00:00:18.620 now. It's been raining for a couple of days. It's supposed to rain for a few more. Got up
00:00:22.920 this morning. I woke up very early. I've been up since about 1.30 and I've been looking
00:00:28.400 at what's going on in the world. It is the weekend right now. It is summertime and not,
00:00:34.100 well, there are things going on, obviously, but nothing that really piqued my interest today.
00:00:38.860 So we're going to keep this one short today. I want to tell you about some events coming up,
00:00:42.160 and I want to talk about a few of these things that are happening today, because if I wait until
00:00:47.560 the independence calendar, a lot of you won't know that these things are happening today and
00:00:52.260 you won't be able to participate. So I'm going to do a quick video on some of the events coming up
00:00:57.040 over the next week or so. Now, first off, I do have the Independence calendar coming up at 11
00:01:02.040 o'clock this morning. I asked people last week to send me pictures of Independence signs in your
00:01:08.960 yard. Are you holding a sign? Much like this one right here. This is my front yard. As you can see,
00:01:14.840 I've got Jason Levine's sign up here along with Corey Morgan, Angela Tabek, Kathy Flett, the Alberta
00:01:21.040 Women for Independence. They will probably have a sign here. I think Let's Talk Alberta is going
00:01:26.960 to have a sign. I think I've got room for three or four more signs to go up here, but send me
00:01:30.840 pictures like this. Here's another photo, and this is a picture of me with Jason's sign. So if you've
00:01:36.940 got any pictures like that, send them to me right now. Before eight o'clock this morning would be
00:01:42.940 great. JohnBoltonAB at gmail.com. JohnBoltonAB at gmail.com, and I'll try to get your picture
00:01:49.360 on the Independence calendar later on this morning. Now, this is what's happening today
00:01:54.060 that I wanted to tell you about.
00:01:55.840 I'll bring it up full screen because it needs full screen.
00:01:58.560 A lot of stuff going on here.
00:02:00.280 We've got these cruises going out to billboards,
00:02:03.140 and these are north and south of Calgary today.
00:02:06.860 Luckily, there's one south of Calgary.
00:02:08.980 It seems like every event I go to, I have to go north,
00:02:11.240 and I live way down in the south,
00:02:13.360 which adds another 30 to 40 minutes to my drive, basically.
00:02:16.300 We're going to Tabor today to visit
00:02:19.140 Cory Morgan's Choose Alberta sign down there.
00:02:22.120 Of course, this is the controversial sign that Corey put up that the city council was trying to pull down.
00:02:28.560 Of course, this only made people more aware of Corey's signs.
00:02:32.540 The Streisand effect certainly came into play here, and Corey's got more signs up across the province.
00:02:38.060 Corey doing very well as a third-party advertiser with, the last time I heard, $80,000.
00:02:44.880 And then we're leaving the Harvest View lot, or at least you will be,
00:02:49.060 because you're going to be cruising southbound on Deerfoot past my home.
00:02:52.120 in South Calgary. I'm going to be catching up to you. That's at 96th Avenue at Harvest Hills Link
00:02:57.040 in the Northeast. Meet there at nine o'clock this morning for a huge cruise into Tabor. Now,
00:03:01.540 if you missed the cruise into Sundry, you're going to want to go to this. I think this could
00:03:06.100 be a huge one as well. You really missed out if you didn't go to Sundry. So be part of this one
00:03:11.200 today. We're picking up people. Calgary, Drumheller, Medicine Hat communities all along the route,
00:03:16.400 dropping off signs as well. And we're going to meet at the Choose Alberta Billboard at three
00:03:20.720 o'clock today. Going to be a wet one. You might want to bring along an umbrella. Now let me bring
00:03:24.860 you over to the other side of the screen here. And this is going on up in the Edmonton area. No
00:03:29.140 doubt our friend Tyson has been involved in this. They're going to Jason Levine's sign for three
00:03:34.560 o'clock. Our future hour vote billboard meeting up 266th Street and 114th Avenue in Atchison,
00:03:41.300 picking up people Grand Prairie, Fort McMurray, Bonneville, Lloydminster, Red Deer. And they're
00:03:46.280 going to be dropping off signs as well. So Edmonton, Calgary, very much involved in some
00:03:51.740 cruises today on Sunday, and that's again on Sunday, June the 28th, if you're watching this.
00:03:56.980 Again, meet at nine o'clock here, and they're meeting at one o'clock here in Edmonton. Now,
00:04:02.280 what else is going on here? This is happening. My friend Wade up in Bonneville, I think I can
00:04:07.520 bring myself on screen. There we go. My friend Wade in Bonneville is having a conversation
00:04:13.460 conversation on the peace sign. I think I got a picture of the peace sign. I believe I do. I'll
00:04:18.200 put it up on the screen so you can see Wade's yard. Wade needs more signs dealing with independence,
00:04:24.320 but he's got this one going on. This event happening in Sylvan Lake on July 4th at two
00:04:30.440 o'clock. Kathy Flett and Angela Tabak, the Alberta Women's Independence Network, they're having a talk
00:04:35.960 at the peace sign. So you may want to check that out. Of course, Sylvan Lake to the west of Red
00:04:41.600 year. I might actually go to this event. A lot of stuff going on this week. Then you've got Jason
00:04:45.740 Levine doing these things. There's Matthew Rowley, Dennis Kalmer, Bruce Party. I was on Jason's show
00:04:51.820 as a co-host with Jason's wife, Paula, last week, where we talked to Matthew, Dennis, and Bruce.
00:04:57.840 Of course, they're talking about the Constitution. Now, these events here in Edmonton on the 29th,
00:05:04.020 Red Deer on the 30th, and here in Calgary on July 2nd, which I'll be at. I've got to get my cat down.
00:05:09.440 he's standing in front of my screen. All of these events aren't really speeches by Matt, Dennis,
00:05:16.260 and Bruce. They want to hear from you. So if you'd like to get tickets, go to thelevineshow.com
00:05:21.220 forward slash TPA. Get yourself some tickets. They are free, but donations are welcome so Jason can
00:05:27.440 continue putting up his signs across the province. And then there's this going on as well, which I
00:05:31.980 hope to be at as well. A lot of stuff going on this week. Albertans Day Rally. This is coming up
00:05:38.520 on Wednesday, July the 1st.
00:05:40.460 You've got all sorts of musical artists here,
00:05:43.120 including Tamara Leach, Keith Wilson will be there,
00:05:46.720 Corey Morgan, Benoit Trudeau.
00:05:48.280 I hope I can get on stage to mention the upcoming telethon,
00:05:53.460 which is coming up on July 18th as well.
00:05:55.920 Starts at 10 o'clock, ends when it's done.
00:05:57.880 Again, that's July 1st.
00:05:59.020 That's up near Mirror, up at Mirror
00:06:01.400 at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Chris Scott's place.
00:06:04.380 So this should be a great day.
00:06:05.320 And of course, go to letstalkalberta.com
00:06:07.200 to find out about Chris's events and activities as well.
00:06:10.580 They're everywhere across the province
00:06:12.200 if you haven't been to a Let's Talk Alberta event.
00:06:15.360 And then there is this coming up as well.
00:06:18.260 Put this date on your calendar, July the 18th.
00:06:22.240 Block it off. Big day coming up.
00:06:24.600 We need to raise money.
00:06:25.740 I did this promo and put it online just last week.
00:06:30.140 In the independence movement,
00:06:31.360 we're lucky to have a lot of great leaders,
00:06:33.740 a lot of great speakers,
00:06:35.160 and a lot of great volunteers.
00:06:38.380 You know what we don't have a lot of?
00:06:41.220 Money.
00:06:42.400 We're going to need a lot of money.
00:06:45.120 Prior to this referendum campaign,
00:06:47.060 I had people say we'll need at least five to six million dollars.
00:06:51.960 Some of the third party advertisers are doing great right now,
00:06:55.520 bringing in tens of thousands of dollars.
00:06:57.980 But that's a long way from millions.
00:07:00.820 And think of this.
00:07:02.080 every political party in the country is going to be coming into Alberta this summer and into the
00:07:07.620 fall to stop the Alberta independence movement. That includes Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives.
00:07:13.400 All the MPs you voted for in the last election are going to be trying to stop you. And then there's
00:07:20.820 the CBC. Yes, the CBC. Do you really think the CBC is going to give the Alberta independence
00:07:28.040 movement a fair shake when it comes to this referendum not a chance and what really should
00:07:33.240 bug you about that is 1.4 billion dollars goes to the cbc every year and they're going to be using
00:07:39.500 your money to fight alberta independence and how do we fight back well here's the plan and this has
00:07:46.480 never been done before coming up on saturday july the 18th from 11 a.m until 11 p.m the telethon
00:07:55.080 for independence. The idea is to stream this on all the independence channels on YouTube
00:08:00.220 at the same time, including The Fringe, Talking to Albertans, my channel, Chris Scott,
00:08:07.260 Berta Proud Dad, Igor, and many others. We'll have a lot of the leaders of the independence
00:08:12.080 movement, including Mitch Sylvester, Jeff Rath, Dennis Modry, Keith Wilson, and others involved,
00:08:18.060 and you're going to be an integral part of this, raising money for the independence movement.
00:08:22.080 We've got a studio in Calgary and Edmonton. We've got some other studios set up and we've got some surprises on the way as well. So I hope you can be part of it. It's coming up again, Saturday, July 18th, 11 to 11, the Telethon for Independence. See you there.
00:08:37.420 i'm really excited about the telethon there's a lot of work to do over the next three weeks i've
00:08:46.760 actually been working on some features at home over the last couple of days if you can contribute
00:08:51.840 to any of the third-party advertisers right now that's great and if you can contribute on telethon
00:08:57.280 day july 18th that would be appreciated as well something else that's coming up uh over the next
00:09:03.520 a couple of days. As a matter of fact, I should have an interview up on Tuesday morning with Keith
00:09:08.140 Wilson. I'm going to interview him tomorrow morning about what's going on right now. Keith
00:09:12.020 knocking it out of the park. When it comes to X, you can follow him, IKWilsonOnX, if you want
00:09:18.600 information about what he's up to, with Tanya Clemons, Farm Geek, Miss underscore Tanya C. Of
00:09:24.920 course, Keith and Tanya, part of Let Alberta Decide, LetAlbertaDecide.com, and you can support
00:09:31.980 them as a third-party advertiser. Great opening week for Let Alberta Decide, more than $100,000
00:09:37.500 in. I don't think they're going to have any trouble getting to their $600,000 maximum.
00:09:43.080 Now, something else that's coming up, watch for an interview with me, with the girls from
00:09:48.120 At Home with Holmes, Macy and Madison. I'm going to be talking to them on Monday morning. I'm not
