00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 1153 a.m. Wednesday, April the 8th. I hope
00:00:08.720 you're having a great Wednesday. I don't normally upload a video so close after one I just put up,
00:00:15.920 which was about 11 o'clock this morning, but I have a message for a group of people today and
00:00:21.120 you might be one of those people. So I hope you'll wait for just a couple of minutes because I've
00:00:25.440 got something to say here. So what have I been doing down here in my basement today? Well,
00:00:31.920 for one thing, I've been listening to the court case that's going on right now in Alberta. That
00:00:37.440 court case has the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation trying to stop the petition campaign. Now from
00:00:43.280 somebody who's not a lawyer, what I'm hearing right now is this Aboriginal group trying to
00:00:49.920 stop the referendum. That's what it sounds like to me. Again, I'm not a lawyer. Now, Jeff Rath and
00:00:56.120 Eva Chipyuk are in court today, and I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say. I think
00:01:02.480 it's very important that we win this case. Now, what else am I doing today? Well, I'm actually
00:01:08.020 working on a fundraiser. I've talked to Mitch Sylvester recently, and Mitch said, John, we need
00:01:15.980 to raise a lot of money. The next thing we need to do after the petition campaign, once we get to
00:01:20.860 the question, is raise money. I was actually on a Zoom call with Mitch last night, and a lot of
00:01:26.980 people who are canvassers, I think Mitch threw out the number $5 million. He says we're going to have
00:01:32.660 to raise that. The other side will have much more. So what have I been doing today? I'm preparing a
00:01:38.100 fundraiser for the independence campaign for mid-July. I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row
00:01:43.560 right now to make that happen. And I've got another idea I want to raise millions on.
00:01:51.680 You may have heard today, and you likely have heard if you follow politics at all,
00:01:57.160 that conservative MP Marilyn Gladue crossed the floor to the liberals.
00:02:03.400 I wasn't going to do a video on this today, but I received a call from my sister,
00:02:08.740 who lives in Sarnia. And she said, John, she's my MP. She's from Sarnia-Lampton. And many of you
00:02:16.240 know I'm from Sarnia. I did not know Marilyn Gladue was her MP until she called me, but she's
00:02:21.580 very upset, incredibly upset. She voted for Marilyn Gladue less than a year ago as a conservative,
00:02:27.780 and now she's got a liberal MP and it's bothering her. Now, who am I talking to today? Who is this
00:02:37.200 message for today? Well, this is for the people in Alberta who are sitting on the fence. If you've
00:02:44.260 been sitting back wondering if the conservatives were going to come to your rescue, if Pierre
00:02:49.020 Polyev was going to come to your rescue by winning an election, that's not going to happen.
00:02:56.340 The liberals are this close to a majority. There's likely to be more people crossing the floor,
00:03:03.280 Maybe nine more we've heard.
00:03:05.820 And as of Monday night, when those by-elections hit,
00:03:09.100 the liberals are going to get their majority,
00:03:11.520 and you're going to be stuck with a liberal majority
00:03:14.180 for the next three to four years
00:03:16.020 in a province that votes a majority conservative.
00:03:19.980 If you've been waiting for Pierre Paulyev
00:03:21.920 and the conservatives to save you,
00:03:23.620 that ain't going to happen.
00:03:26.120 And I'm asking you, get off the fence
00:03:29.100 and come over to the side of independence.
00:03:33.780 Every time one of these people crosses the floor, it drives more people to the independence movement.
00:03:40.080 And I want that to be you.
00:03:42.060 It's time to make a stand.
00:03:44.840 It's time to make a stand for independence.
00:03:47.300 It's the only way out of this country which is falling apart.
00:03:51.980 And yes, Canada is broken.
00:03:57.000 That's my plea to you right now.
00:04:00.120 Don't sit on the fence anymore.
00:04:01.760 make a decision on this and come to the good side, the independent side. Thank you very much
