Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Thursday, March the 5th, recording this
00:00:08.060
on the 4th of March around 10 o'clock in the morning with the Big Blue Mug of Coffee. Great
00:00:12.680
to have you here today. And we've got another guest with us on the channel. I'm very, very
00:00:17.540
pleased to have Jason Levine on with me from The Levine Show. Jason, I spoke with you on
00:00:23.520
your channel. I've had you on talking about your documentary, Sean Hartman's story, The
00:00:28.240
Shot, which I want to ask you about. You're coming to Calgary. You're all over Alberta.
00:00:31.900
It's very exciting. But thanks so much for being on the channel. I appreciate you spending
00:00:35.940
some time here. I really appreciate coming back, John. I really appreciate your hospitality.
00:00:40.500
And I'm looking forward to sharing the shot across Alberta because our successful showings
00:00:46.300
in Ontario really gave me the encouragement that this conversation is still needed. People
00:00:51.180
do need to understand what's going on and get updated on the legal, the medical, and the
00:00:55.880
societal impact that this particular documentary has.
00:00:58.540
I was watching you this morning and apparently you've had a request to go to Australia or
00:01:05.520
It is. We're getting it from the UK, Australia, all over the US, all over Canada. And I don't
00:01:11.060
know if I'll be jumping on a plane to go to Australia, but we'll certainly get them a link
00:01:16.120
Yeah. SupportSean.ca if you want to have a viewing or you want to request to have a viewing. I think
00:01:21.680
that's the place you go for that. I'll talk to you more about that near the end here. I'm glad
00:01:26.160
we got a little bit about that at the beginning, but I wanted to talk to you about the Alberta
00:01:30.520
independence movement. And really, I want to start off with something a little different
00:01:34.060
here, Jason. I want to ask you your thoughts on the state of Canada right now. I know you're
00:01:40.640
interested in Alberta independence, but what do you think the state of Canada is right now?
00:01:45.140
It's deteriorating. Like weekly, it's deteriorating. We're not focused on Canadians anymore.
00:01:50.180
We just sent $100 billion from the CPP, Canadian pension plan, out to India. I thought that
00:01:56.140
that would be well spent here in Canada. Pipelines, infrastructure, hospitals, schools. There have
00:02:00.860
been a lot of projects here in Canada that would benefit from that.
00:02:02.940
Senior citizens, you know, who don't get much for their CPP. I know I'm getting closer
00:02:07.140
to that, Jason. I know how much you get, you know.
00:02:09.960
Vets as well. Like we could have been taking care of Canadians. $2 billion to Ukraine was a
00:02:14.960
tough hit, but $100 billion of our pension heading into India. We're not paying enough
00:02:19.860
attention to Canadians. And this is why the Alberta independence movement, I think, is
00:02:23.560
very strong. It's just re-putting the focus right back on to Canadians and Albertans.
00:02:29.520
We've got to take care of ourselves first. And if Canada won't do that, Alberta may have
00:02:34.460
I've said here before, Canada's demise will result in Alberta's rise. And I don't think
00:02:39.980
Canada can really recover until it really hits rock bottom. Do you agree with that?
00:02:44.260
That is a sentiment a lot of people share. Like once the bread lines are there, then people
00:02:48.160
will wake up. And that might be true because I'm very easily distracted with sports or the
00:02:53.000
Olympics or other things, or even just the news from the South, and stop focusing locally,
00:02:57.820
which is very sad. So you might be right. We may see a demise before we can see a rise.
00:03:02.760
And it may not be just Alberta. Other provinces are taking note now.
00:03:05.860
I recently did a video saying that Canada is kind of rudderless right now. It seems like
00:03:10.540
we're kind of, we don't have any direction. We know the direction we should go in. And what we
00:03:14.720
know, Jason, I know, people who are more conservative minded or maybe more interested
00:03:20.440
in the Alberta independence movement, know which direction we should be going in. I was
00:03:24.440
talking on the video about the situation with Iran. Mark Carney came out pretty much in favor
00:03:33.920
of it right off the beginning, which was one of the few things I agreed with with Mark Carney.
00:03:38.340
And now he's starting to take it back. He's starting to dither. He's showing that he's got to play
00:03:43.660
to his base. The poll numbers are in. I think there was an Angus Reid poll out saying that a
00:03:47.780
large percentage of liberal voters are against what happened in Iran the other day. And it's
00:03:53.740
specifically because they don't like Donald Trump. And this is one of the things where I see Canada
00:03:58.900
is kind of going awry. No, I agree with you. And I'm just going to push back a little bit on the
00:04:04.240
rudderless comment. Actually, from our perspective, it does feel like we're rudderless. But if the goal
00:04:09.800
is to disassociate with the US, align with Europe, and get Canada more involved on a global banking
00:04:15.560
level, I think the rudder is firm on that one. And that's exactly where we're heading. It doesn't
00:04:20.120
feel good. As Canadians, we don't align with the European Union. We certainly want to have a better
00:04:25.800
relationship with America, regardless of who the president is. But if you look at it from that
00:04:31.520
perspective, I think the rudder is nice and firm, not in the direction we're hoping for, though.
00:04:35.740
So this is why we need to speak up some more on that. Yeah. So you think this is all by design,
00:04:40.940
then? It's pretty clear, because before Carney came in, if you read his book, this is exactly what
00:04:46.540
he said he would be doing, bringing Canada into the international fold, go ahead and continue where
00:04:52.580
Trudeau left off. And I don't think any of that's changed. He's been quite firm on that. And he's been
00:04:58.380
very successful, frankly. Okay, so heading right for the rocks with the rudder facing towards the rocks.
00:05:05.200
And that's what I suggested, that we're rudderless, and we're going to hit the rocks and go down pretty
00:05:09.060
soon. Yeah, it's just a person that's in control of that rudder, has an agenda, and they're succeeding
00:05:16.140
at it. They've been very good at turning Canadians against their own neighbors, been very good at
00:05:20.600
getting Canadians to fall in line, elbows up. And absolutely, when you hear things like when the
00:05:25.540
U.S. is trying to take down a dictatorship that is very oppressive against its people, especially women,
00:05:31.080
and has killed multiple people, thousands of protesters recently, and they're actually
00:05:36.040
rooting for that side, something's very wrong. Something's very wrong with the morality here in
00:05:40.580
Canada. Just the other day, I did a video regarding the rift between right and left here, conservative
00:05:46.140
and liberal, how pretty much everything that the liberals are doing right now, I disagree with.
00:05:51.300
And I had a list of 20 or 30 things. Is there any bringing us back together after this,
00:05:56.720
and what's happened over the last year or so? Only after a collapse of Canada, do I see that
00:06:01.560
happening? Once everybody realizes that this is no longer your Canada, it's gone. Somebody else is
00:06:07.320
in charge now. Globalists, bankers, European Union are in charge now. And when you see Canadians,
00:06:13.620
you know, boots on the ground in Europe, for example, in war, and we're losing sons and daughters,
00:06:18.380
maybe only then will we unify and go against that. It was Reagan who said he takes an external
00:06:24.280
threat for us to unify. And he was talking about aliens at that time. But for Canadians,
00:06:28.660
we may need an external threat before we can unify as Canadians again.
00:06:32.620
Do we have an internal threat? Here's one I want to just throw at you before we talk about
00:06:36.140
Alberta independence, because this is a huge story. And we've seen what's been going on in
00:06:40.400
British Columbia. There was the Cowichan decision that everybody was kind of jaw-dropping about that.
00:06:46.820
We had this one the other day. It was the Musqueam Band getting control of Vancouver. I never
00:06:52.420
thought I would ever hear this and the repercussions that this may have. Why aren't people waking up to
00:06:58.840
this thing when they see stuff like that happening in British Columbia and concerns about that
00:07:03.360
happening in other parts of Canada as well? It's because we've been kind of conditioned to be
00:07:09.120
very, very passive, not just passive, but very accepting of things that we don't even agree with.
00:07:13.980
The UN has been very clear with UNDRIP that this was exactly what's coming all over the world,
00:07:18.260
not just Canada. And BC was the testing ground in Canada for UNDRIP. They passed DRIPA,
00:07:23.940
which basically started to accelerate UNDRIP across Canada, especially in BC. So I am not
00:07:29.660
surprised. What I am surprised about is how willing Canadians are to see this happen and not stand up
00:07:34.660
against it. Even the Premier Eby, he said, hey, I didn't even know this was happening, but yet he was
00:07:38.980
at the signing ceremony when this actually came in place. So either he's being ignorant on what he's
00:07:43.400
at the signing ceremony up, either he forgot or he's just flat out lying. But in either case,
00:07:49.760
Canadians should be very concerned, ceded or unceded land. This is exactly what UNDRIP says
00:07:55.080
they're going to do. They're going to return all land back to Indigenous people, all land. So Alberta
00:07:59.900
should be paying very close attention to this. And the Supreme Court has already said they're going
00:08:03.960
to start aligning with UNDRIP. And you'll see a DRIPA-like thing across Canada before you even know it.
00:08:10.020
So let's, you mentioned the passive Canadians. So I think I can maybe pivot over to the Alberta
00:08:16.260
independence movement, because it seems that there are a lot of Canadians who aren't so passive. We
00:08:21.960
talk about how tolerant and polite Canadians are, you know, a Canadian bumps into somebody and they
00:08:26.920
apologize for doing it, is kind of the joke here. But there has been this, the insults, the threats
00:08:36.480
coming from the rest of Canada when it comes to the Alberta independence movement. We've, you know,
00:08:41.380
it's kind of few and far between, but it gets magnified in the media, get magnified by people
00:08:46.460
in the independence movement, people showing up, yelling, screaming, jumping out of their car.
00:08:51.400
I was out just last weekend, got the finger a couple of times like this, but the threats and the
00:08:56.760
behavior of Canadians right now doesn't seem so passive to me. What do you make of what's going on
00:09:01.480
when it comes to the rest of Canada and Alberta independence right now?
00:09:06.380
I think what you're seeing here, John, is the veil is off and the abuse is very clear. There is
00:09:11.360
no desire for Canada to work with Alberta to find a way forward on this one. It's like a very bad
00:09:17.920
marriage, a very abusive one. We're now at the stage of you can't leave, I won't let you leave,
00:09:23.340
and I'll hit you harder. And instead of saying, hey, here's what we can do together. This is how our
00:09:28.020
future could work together. And these are the reasons why you should stay in this relationship,
00:09:32.400
which is Canada. It's a very abusive one and the veil is now off. So I think you're correct when
00:09:37.540
it comes to that. I do want to kind of highlight though, that doesn't seem to be all Canadians.
00:09:41.700
There's a lot of support across Canada for Alberta independence. A recent poll came out and said 80%
00:09:47.340
is against it, but that also means 20% is for it. That's 8.5 million Canadians that are actually for
00:09:54.240
Alberta independence at this stage. And that's if you believe there are polls, there's probably a
00:09:57.960
lot higher than that. But what you're hearing are the really loud, aggravated and angry Canadians who
00:10:03.740
I think fully understand what would mean if Alberta does leave, the bank will be gone, the cash cow will
00:10:10.360
be gone. And if that's going to impact their personal daily lives, they're getting very frustrated about
00:10:15.400
that. And they wouldn't be frustrated, John, if they didn't think it's a possibility. If they thought
00:10:19.900
that this was very fringe and wasn't going to happen, they'd be very silent on this issue. But they're
00:10:24.360
not. So I think they're actually exposing themselves as fearful that this is a real movement. It could
00:10:29.560
happen. And they're just angry and abusive instead of being very cooperative or trying to show us how
00:10:35.160
to stay in. Like they did with Quebec. Quebec, it was, I love you, Quebec. Stay. Alberta, it's like,
00:10:40.260
you're not, we're not letting you leave. A very different dynamic.
00:10:43.200
Yeah, I was, I was out in, in Ontario, in Eastern Ontario in 95 at the last referendum. And,
00:10:48.400
and I was in Montreal. I did a report on the radio with this really old antiquated cell phone at the
00:10:54.480
time, which got very limited coverage in downtown Montreal. And I was one of those people at the
00:10:58.260
time that would never do it today. But I do remember what that was all about. I remember
00:11:02.600
busloads of people going from Cornwall, Ontario, an hour down the road to Montreal to beg them to stay
00:11:07.900
in Canada. We've, we've, we've experienced some of the, the vitriol from some people in Canada.
00:11:14.780
What do you expect as we actually get into the, the referendum campaign? We're just on a petition
00:11:19.220
signing thing right now, Jason. I think it's going to amplify, like we're seeing things like
00:11:23.960
somebody showed up at Mitch Sylvester's shop and whether it was a pen or a bullet, the intent was
00:11:29.180
very clear. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. They were very upset. So this is for Mitch.
00:11:33.860
What, no matter what the object was, it was a threat. We're seeing that we're seeing people blocking
00:11:38.640
roads now when it comes to the road on the way to a pop-up petition signing location.
00:11:44.780
And people are yelling from vehicles, even just here in Parkland County, there's a photograph of
00:11:49.940
two different people who stopped by to share their anger. And all I got to say to people like this
00:11:55.420
is first, this is a legal process. Elections Alberta has allowed it to happen. Everything's
00:12:02.120
going by the law. And you will absolutely have an opportunity to hold your own town halls and
00:12:07.320
convince people to go with the no vote. If that's where you plan to go with this, let's keep this
00:12:11.560
democratic. Let's keep it peaceful. And if any side gets violent, it's going to really hurt
00:12:16.720
that particular side. So let's keep this very peaceful. And I do not like it when politicians
00:12:22.120
and other mainstream are starting to use the term traitors. There's nothing that makes us a traitor
00:12:27.700
on this one. It's a legal process. Supreme Court, the House of Commons and Elections Alberta, along with
00:12:33.620
the legislature in Alberta, has provided a path forward. We just need to do it peacefully and
00:12:38.760
democratically. The people that are doing this, and there are people across the country who are
00:12:43.900
upset about what the independence movement is doing out here, they're angered because they see
00:12:50.960
this as their country breaking up. Now, I've asked Corey Morgan, Jeff Rath, Mitch Sylvester,
00:12:57.640
Dennis Modry, others here. As somebody who wants Alberta independence, what do you say to somebody who
00:13:05.140
says, well, I don't want Alberta to leave because of Canada, because of patriotism? How do you argue
00:13:13.660
that? Or do you not argue it at all and just think that they're a lost cause? They're never going to
00:13:17.880
vote for independence anyway? Well, there's certainly going to be three groups. The group that's already
00:13:23.360
ready for it, some of them have been waiting for this for 40 plus years. There's going to be a group
00:13:27.920
that absolutely does not want to leave no matter what, whether they're dependent class or they're worried
00:13:32.420
about their pensions, or they actually have a lot of fear of what will happen if Canada breaks up.
00:13:37.480
And then there's the moderate middle who are open to having conversations and their default is
00:13:41.860
no change. So they're the ones that need to be convinced that it's a good idea. But what I like
00:13:47.300
to kind of highlight here is I'm not a separatist. I'm a sovereignist. And to me, those are two very
00:13:51.820
different things. A separatist and goal and entire goal is to separate. That's not where I stand.
00:13:57.780
Where I stand is I'm a sovereignist, where I like to see Alberta be very sovereign. Daniel Smith has
00:14:02.580
tried to do this over the last couple of years, has not been very successful. And if sovereignty
00:14:07.780
means separation, well, I'm not afraid of that. But it'd be great to see Canada unite in some fashion.
00:14:13.940
But I don't see that happening under the current government, with the four crossing and the current
00:14:18.740
polls. If Carney decided to call an election right now, he'd have a majority. So I don't see any change in
00:14:25.100
the horizon. But we could force change by having a strong vote and a strong number of people show up
00:14:31.180
for Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, Quebec, and other provinces are paying attention to this. So
00:14:36.860
let's go ahead and continue with our efforts and make sure that the rest of Canadians understand you
00:14:42.140
do have a voice, even if it doesn't feel like it. And we do need to see some strong change here in
00:14:47.060
Canada. So do you think that the independence movement is progressing the way it should you
00:14:54.340
know, we're in the petition campaign right now, hopefully, we'll be moving along to the referendum
00:14:58.420
campaign real soon. And what do you think we need to accomplish in the signature campaign to,
00:15:04.020
to maybe send a message before we even get to the stage where we'll be looking to vote on this?
00:15:10.900
Yeah, so the petition collections stage that we're currently in right now, it's about getting all
00:15:15.460
the people that are fed up, and they want to have a vote, the next stage or phase is going to be to
00:15:20.900
talk to the rest of Alberta. There's a few things that need to happen, they need to be reassured
00:15:26.180
that it's not going to be 20 years of sorrow. A lot of people are saying stuff like that,
00:15:30.580
it's gonna take 20 years to kind of recover, I don't believe that's to be true. We also need to
00:15:35.220
connect with the pensioners and understand that Alberta, regardless if it goes down the path of
00:15:40.340
independence needs to take its future and pension into its own hands, and help people get the truth.
00:15:48.100
There's a lot of misinformation and propaganda being pushed really hard. I had a group of people
00:15:53.620
come up to me at one of my events, and to let me know that in Drayton Valley, Thomas Osakic's team,
00:15:59.060
I'm not sure if it was him specifically, but his team went to five different long term care facilities
00:16:04.340
and told him, you need to sign this or you're going to lose your pension. Those kind of fear based
00:16:09.620
propaganda that's going out there needs to be corrected, rectified, and we need to do a lot
00:16:14.100
of work having more conversations with people and answering their questions before there will be any
00:16:18.500
success at the ballot box. I still get email people asking me that question, do I get to keep my CPP,
00:16:24.100
my OAS, I'm concerned about this. And you know, we again, the proper information is important. Do you
00:16:30.180
think it, you know, I talked to Derek from Unacceptable Fringe last week, I had an email
00:16:36.820
from somebody, they were talking about how negativity, it moves the needle. I mean,
00:16:43.940
you look at the Liberal Party, they won the election on April 28, based on fear of Donald Trump. I mean,
00:16:50.660
that's a good reason why they, probably the number one reason why they got elected. I mean,
00:16:54.660
Paulie F was leading by so much before we had that April 28 election. But do you think we need to
00:17:01.860
not only focus on the positives of Alberta independence, but also point out the negatives
00:17:09.140
of Canada? Or would that be, I don't know, maybe contrary to getting the correct message across?
00:17:15.940
Actually, I like where you're headed with that. And I'd actually take it one step further and talk about
00:17:21.620
the negatives about independence as well. Because when you tackle those questions and those concerns
00:17:27.460
and insecurities, and you say, you say things like, Yeah, you know what, it's going to be painful,
00:17:32.420
it's gonna hurt, it's kind of like a birth, the mother and the baby goes through a bit of trauma.
00:17:37.620
But we can't be afraid of what's to come. You don't need to have the entire path laid out for you. We
00:17:42.500
don't need to know what the Constitution looks like. We don't need to know all the financials at this
00:17:46.340
stage, because we don't have those answers. So when you focus on also the negatives,
00:17:51.220
that's where you start to really connect with people. Talking about how rough Canada is, a lot
00:17:56.420
of people get that already. But what they're afraid of is how rough will Alberta be if it
00:18:00.580
separates from Canada. So we need to have open, frank conversations about the truth of that.
00:18:05.220
It's going to be tough. There's going to be some sacrifices. There's gonna be some challenges,
00:18:09.300
and we've got to create trade agreements. We're not to work with a neighbor who's pretty annoyed
00:18:12.900
with us. That would be on either side of us. But I think if we actually address that honestly,
00:18:18.260
and not try and shy away from it, and try and hide from that, I think you actually will gain a lot
00:18:23.460
more support, because you're being very honest about the negativities.
00:18:26.420
I like that. I like that a lot. I guess there's three different ways of looking at this. I ran
00:18:31.060
into a guy last weekend. I went out to a petition signing place, and he came up to me and said,
00:18:35.860
what do I say to my wife? She's really not sure about this, and she's apprehensive.
00:18:40.340
And I said, well, there's a Socratic way of debating with people. I mean,
00:18:43.700
you can tell somebody that they might get a break on their income tax, or maybe no income tax
00:18:50.020
completely if we get independence. Maybe that amounts to 30% of your income, but you can always
00:18:55.060
ask her and say, listen, you can stay in Canada, but would you prefer to continue paying 30% to 40%
00:19:01.860
more income tax, or maybe get a break on your income tax? Well, you can always do that if you
00:19:06.580
stay in Canada. Maybe it's not being negative, but it's just kind of turning it around on them and
00:19:10.820
asking them the question. You can stay in Canada, but you can have this instead. But I like the way
00:19:16.020
you're looking at that, and I think that's a very honest way of doing things, and it certainly will
00:19:20.180
bring people to the side. How do you think things are going right now? Do you think that there's a
00:19:25.060
good chance of this happening, or are you still sitting on the fence when it comes to a possibility
00:19:29.140
of Alberta leaving? Well, I'm going to be fighting for sovereignty no matter what the outcome is
00:19:33.940
on the referendum. I do believe we're going to get that referendum October 19th, 2026.
00:19:38.580
Danielle Smith has been very clear that we're having a referendum no matter what on that today.
00:19:42.820
And if the signatures are validated, and they are significant, or sufficient, there will be
00:19:49.540
an independence question on there. There's a lot of distraction going on right now. Whether or not
00:19:55.380
Danielle Smith should be having additional questions, what will the House of Commons do when
00:19:59.220
we get to that stage? Is it splitting the vote? Is it adding hope to the middle? All of these are the
00:20:04.740
hurdles that we have in front of us. A conversation I had with Bruce Party on Friday highlighted this.
00:20:09.380
And tomorrow, there's going to be a conversation or debate with Jason Kenney and Bruce Party released,
00:20:16.260
where they're going to have conversations around this. So I'd highly recommend people pay attention
00:20:19.700
to what's being spoken about there. And let's go ahead and continue to stay focused. But at the same
00:20:25.620
time, I do want to emphasize, we shouldn't hide from even the negativities of independence. The
00:20:31.380
more that we tackle that issue head on and are honest about it, the more support you end up
00:20:36.340
getting because the people who are concerned, they want truth. And if you're not going to provide that
00:20:41.460
truth to them, even when it doesn't look so great, then they're not going to trust you at all. And they
00:20:45.780
will stay in their current position of status quo. So you got to be very honest with everybody. And I
00:20:51.780
also think faith plays a big role here. One of the larger concerns that have been coming up recently in
00:20:56.900
my world is whether or not faith is going to be at the center of this or the foundation for this.
00:21:02.100
So that conversation, I think needs to happen. We've been doing that the last few days on my show
00:21:05.940
as well. Because there's a lot of people that want to understand how do we have a new country?
00:21:10.900
How do we do a new constitution? And does God play a role in that? And they're very concerned
00:21:15.220
about that. So we have to have all these conversations open, honestly, and be the side
00:21:19.780
that isn't afraid to even talk about the negative.
00:21:21.940
Yeah, I get a lot of people sending me pictures. Every week, I do what's called the independence
00:21:27.300
calendar. And people send me pictures of all the independent stuff. And I get so many that say,
00:21:31.700
faith, freedom, family. And there's a lot of people who think about that as well. And when you
00:21:36.180
think about the United States Constitution, I mean, God is in there a hell of a lot, you know. So it's an
00:21:40.820
interesting perspective as well. We'll have to see what kind of constitution we have. I know they're
00:21:44.660
working on that still. A lot of people would want to see that. So what are your plans going forward?
00:21:51.780
I mean, you talk a lot about this. You talk about a lot about your documentary. Tell us a little bit
00:21:56.820
about the Jason Levine show for people who don't know about it and how you're going to move forward
00:22:02.580
through the next year, because it certainly is going to be an interesting one. That's for sure.
00:22:05.620
Absolutely. The premise of my show that I do with my wife as well is we're very curious and we're
00:22:11.940
looking for information. We don't trust a lot of the sources out there. There's a lot of voices out
00:22:16.100
there. So what we've taken on is the ability to actually sit down and talk to people. So I'll have
00:22:21.460
Dr. Wagner on tomorrow and we'll get into in-depth with him about the history of Alberta. We're really
00:22:26.580
just following our curiosity because we want to be incredibly educated and then share that with
00:22:30.900
people at the same time. So we try and stay neutral right in the middle to see where we're going to go
00:22:36.020
with this and mostly taking the show on the road, not just with the shot that's coming to Calgary
00:22:41.860
soon, but also independence conversations. I'm one of the very few that registered with Elections
00:22:48.180
Alberta to be a third party advertiser, which means I can actually legally go out there and have these
00:22:53.220
kinds of conversations and promote or even fight against any position. But what we're focused on is
00:23:00.900
bringing together the conversations, having the debates and answering the questions. We are not
00:23:05.620
pushing a particular side because I think it's fair to have anybody show up, to have everybody show
00:23:11.620
up. This is the kind of environment you want. We have had at least a couple of people who are very
00:23:16.500
adamantly against it to show up and we try to have conversations and we'll continue to do that.
00:23:21.540
And one particular group that we'll be spending a lot of time on are the First Nation Indigenous
00:23:26.340
people here in Alberta, because they're absolutely ready for some sort of change. They want
00:23:31.220
self-determination. They want rule of law. They want to be treated equally. One
00:23:35.700
one rule for everybody. So we want to have some more of those conversations because that's one
00:23:40.180
particular group that's been targeted as the group that can stop all of this.
00:23:44.740
But I don't see that consensus within the community. So we're going to go speak to some
00:23:49.540
Where can people find out where you are, what you're doing? If they would like to maybe log on
00:23:54.740
to see you, obviously they can find you on YouTube and other places. They can follow you on X,
00:23:58.580
but what's that? You got a website that people can go to?
00:24:01.300
Yeah. TheLevineShow.com. There's links to all our platforms. We announce all our events there.
00:24:06.580
We do a lot of free events. We just ask you to RSVP. So we kind of get an idea of how many people
00:24:11.460
will be there. And you can see on top of everything that we do at TheLevineShow at TheLevineShow.com.
00:24:17.220
Link in the description. We'll put it down there so people can find it.
00:24:20.340
Tell me about the documentary. You were in Ontario. You were there for a bit. You're here in Alberta.
00:24:25.540
I was just looking at supportsean.ca. There's many different places you can go to see at Calgary.
00:24:31.780
You're here on the 16th. I hope I can. I'm going to be out there. I'll come and watch it with you.
00:24:35.860
The screening is going well. And how is it being, you know, accepted by people? Are people enjoying it?
00:24:41.620
Yeah. So when we went to Ontario, we had six stops there. It went really well. Most of them
00:24:47.540
were full. In Hamilton, we had to add a second screening because we filled it up so quickly.
00:24:52.580
But what we are seeing is there's some challenges of people online who are trying to silence this.
00:24:57.060
There's a lot of shadow banning going on, deleting our posts from Facebook groups when we're announcing
00:25:02.500
it. Those kinds of challenges are happening. So we do ask anybody who's aware of it to go ahead
00:25:07.700
and share it themselves as well. Put it into your Facebook groups, put it into your
00:25:11.380
telegram groups, get it out there. Because this isn't a propaganda film. It's not an anti-vax film
00:25:16.740
at all. Even though people are deleting us assuming that that's what it is, that's actually not what it
00:25:21.380
is. We present both sides. We have conversations with several doctors, a police officer, a lawyer,
00:25:26.900
and two other families that had similar outcomes to Sean Hartman's family. So this is a documentary,
00:25:33.700
which is meant to present the truth to you, the information to you. We have all the receipts,
00:25:38.740
peer-reviewed studies, even government information, and some reminders of what everybody went through
00:25:44.100
when it came to the narratives that you saw there. So this is not an anti-vax documentary at all.
00:25:49.300
It's a journey for Dan Hartman as he's fighting for the legal remedies to find the answers to what
00:25:57.780
Great stuff. So I'll put a link up for supportshawn.ca. If you just heard it, go check it out.
00:26:04.580
Head off to Calgary. You're also going to be in Medicine Hat, Edson, Buck Creek, Drayton Valley,
00:26:09.220
Cold Lake, and others, Edmonton as well. So be sure to check that out. And are you going to be at all the
00:26:13.700
different screenings as well? Yeah. So all these screenings here in Alberta, I'll be there. And some
00:26:19.140
of the other ones, we'll have some special guests, like for around Edmonton, Edson, Drayton Valley,
00:26:24.180
Devon. We'll have Dr. Roger Hoskinson there. Down in Calgary, Kerry Sakamoto will be joining us,
00:26:29.860
maybe some more people. Chris Scott will be there as well. And what we're trying to do is we're trying
00:26:33.620
to bring forward a lot of voices because we provide a platform and we want to make sure that other
00:26:38.180
people can share information. So if you have questions that you want to get answered, do show
00:26:44.180
up at these. We'll do our best to get the answers to you. And absolutely want to make sure that people
00:26:49.140
have an opportunity to get there. That's why it's free. Donations are welcome, but not required.
00:26:54.420
So we do hope to see you there, John, a whole bunch of other people in Calgary, Edmonton as well. And
00:26:59.300
we'll be releasing some new locations as well. Red Deer, Lethbridge are on my to-do list as well.
00:27:04.820
So stay tuned to the website. If there isn't one near you, check back often because there may be one
00:27:09.860
soon. Jason, thanks so much. A great discussion with some interesting perspective, definitely.
00:27:16.100
I'll have to have you back on again real soon. I like your thoughts on the Alberta independence
00:27:20.500
movement, different things, different suggestions you've had there, different than what I've heard
00:27:24.900
here on the channel before. So thanks for that. A pleasure to see you again. I hope to meet you.
00:27:30.580
I haven't met you yet. It's always through screens, but it's remarkable what we can do these days,
00:27:35.060
isn't it? It absolutely is. Thank you very much, John, for your time. I look forward to meeting you
00:27:39.780
as well. We cross paths a lot. We just haven't met up. Yeah, I know. I know. It was like Corey
00:27:44.100
Morgan. I think I kept wanting to meet him. And every time something happened, he was away. I was
00:27:48.980
sick. Something got in the way. We'll meet up one of these days. Thanks very much. I appreciate your
00:27:53.460
time. Have yourself a wonderful day, John, and God bless. Thank you. Jason Levine of The Levine Show.
00:27:58.980
And thank you very much for watching. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up,
00:28:03.380
subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I will see you in the next one.
