00:00:00.000Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 544 AM. It is Wednesday, July the 29th. I hope
00:00:08.960you're having a great Wednesday and a fantastic week. I tip the big blue mug of coffee to
00:00:13.540you today. And I want to do this short video today to reassure the people on the Alberta
00:00:18.920independent side that we are winning the battle and that our movement is growing. You may
00:00:26.300say, John, how can you be so sure? I'm sure because of the actions of the other side. They're getting
00:00:32.140desperate. They know we can win. They are ramping up the fear. They are ramping up the insults.
00:00:39.080They are ramping up the intimidation. They are ramping up the misinformation. All at the same
00:00:44.340time, they are resorting to tactics which normally come closer to the end of the campaign, and they're
00:00:48.800doing it right now, almost three months out. I'll get to that in just a moment. You may have seen
00:00:53.700this poll. New poll shows Albertans in every region in support of staying in Canada. This
00:00:58.480is propaganda. Expect a lot more of this. Don't get disillusioned. This poll goes on to say that
00:01:03.640it was an online survey. I do not trust online surveys. It says rural areas are in favor of
00:01:10.160staying in Canada. The people who did this poll, and I don't know who funded the poll,
00:01:15.760but the people who did it and the people who probably responded to this poll have not been
00:01:20.500in the rural areas around Edmonton and Calgary like I have, I talk to these people. They want
00:01:25.760Alberta to leave. They go on to say that Edmonton 80% want to stay, Calgary 78% want to stay. Well,
00:01:32.540if these are the numbers we haven't got a chance to win on our side, why are they even bothering
00:01:36.780to campaign against us? Why are they trying so hard to convince people you've got to vote?
00:01:40.840because they're worried that we can win. We go to something like this. Now this,
00:01:48.980this is a tactic. This is a tactic of last resort. This is just one tweet, but you can find this
00:01:57.200everywhere right now. They've already got to racist. They're going to move to calling us
00:02:02.400people who are in charge of Germany from 33 to 45 before too long. That is coming.
00:02:07.940we're being called traitors. We've been called traitors by David Eby.
00:02:14.220The Premier of British Columbia, we're being called traitors to Canada. We're separatists
00:02:18.280are traitors to Canada. Again, a tactic of last resort. There's a saying, when the debate is lost,
00:02:24.960slander becomes the tool of the loser. Always remember this. It has been attributed to Socrates,
00:02:29.240but really this quote is unknown. You know, we've had people in our movement
00:02:36.560you know, basically thrown into the street and literally thrown into the street, almost killed
00:02:45.180because they're carrying an Alberta flag. This person is part of the Alberta independence movement.
00:02:51.080And I'm worried that we're going to see more of this as we move forward. Please watch your back.
00:02:56.500You see stories like this from the Western Standard. Union files grievance over Sobey's
00:03:01.080use of Alberta's flag and promotional display. Here's the story right here, the Western Standard.
00:03:06.560apparently the Alberta flag is a symbol of independence, so they're trying to get it pulled
00:03:11.860out of stores. More proof that we're winning. You've seen Corey's signs torn down and vandalized.
00:03:17.840This is happening quite a bit. Corey says 20% of his signs are stolen. This is because we're
00:03:22.500winning the argument. Alberta town orders removal of pro separation billboard, calling it a nuisance.
00:03:30.100Here is Corey's sign down in Tabor. I went down to Tabor. I stood in front of the sign with Corey.
00:03:36.020we had a joke about the sign didn't seem too offensive to me you know i saw your i saw your
00:03:42.120billboard cory i'm a little disappointed it's not so scary no i haven't seen people falling over or
00:03:47.860dying from rage there it is yeah look that's the offensive thing that's that that focal point of
00:03:52.700all this this this horror you know come on it's pretty pretty innocuous yeah we hope more people
00:03:57.880complain about your sign so a lot more people show up and more signs go up that was one of the worst
00:04:02.840days I remember in Alberta. It rained constantly, all the way from Calgary to Tabor. The sun came
00:04:08.980out as we got there. I saw Corey sign, send Ottawa a message, and that's all it says. And that's what
00:04:16.900you can do on October 19th. Vote option two, question 10, and tell Ottawa Alberta won't be
00:04:22.380pushed around anymore. As a matter of fact, when they pushed it, Corey, he pushed back even harder
00:04:27.760in response to the demand from the town of Tabor to take down our legal paid ad on a digital
00:04:33.160billboard. We have now purchased ad space on a second billboard in Tabor. Will the fools on
00:04:38.540town council back off or shall we get a third one in Tabor? I believe that Corey did. We saw this0.99
00:04:44.720happen at Cool Shit up in Red Deer. This person went to their business. They damaged their signs.
00:04:51.780They spray painted their signs. It's just more proof that these people are losing, that the
00:04:57.600forever mediocrity side is losing. They are scared. They know we can win and we can win
00:05:04.380this battle, but we can't become complacent. We've got to fight even harder. We've got to work even
00:05:10.260harder. Don't worry about the propaganda and the misinformation you're hearing from the other side.
00:05:15.420I found this online. I think it was Rise of Alberta that put this up. They'll tell you you're a traitor. You're fringe. The polls say you're a minority. You're uneducated. It's impossible. You can't leave. But they won't tell you one good reason Alberta should stay. I've been asking your question for months. We still haven't got an answer other than fear, intimidation and misinformation, which is proof that we're winning.
00:05:43.020You need to continue fighting and don't become complacent.
00:05:46.360That's why I'm going to be at this event on Thursday night.
00:05:49.140I hope you can join Angela Tabak and myself.1.00
00:05:52.060Unfortunately, Kathy can't be there from Alberta Women for Independence.
