It was only days ago that I did a video titled The Myth of Canadian Politeness and Tolerance and now my video seems prophetic. In the last 24 hours, the level of hatred has been amplified after a failed British Columbia politician smeared the leaders of the independence movement, private citizens, as traitors.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is Friday, January 30th, 2.30 a.m. I hope
00:00:09.100 you're having a great start to your Friday. And what I'm about to read is something I
00:00:13.740 wrote on my phone shortly after midnight, and I felt compelled to get up and record
00:00:19.220 it now. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to read it as it was written.
00:00:24.080 My fellow Albertans, it was only days ago that I did a video titled The Myth of Canadian
00:00:31.900 Politeness and Tolerance. And now my video seems prophetic. In the last 24 hours, the
00:00:40.240 level of hatred has been amplified after a failed British Columbia politician smeared the
00:00:45.980 leaders of the independence movement, private citizens I might add, as traitors. In an
00:00:53.680 amazing display of ignorance and lack of situational awareness, David Eby and the Prime Minister
00:01:00.060 of Canada discovered what we knew months ago. Some people from Alberta went to Washington.
00:01:07.120 It beggars belief. And these are the people who rule over you.
00:01:13.000 The crime the leaders of independence are being accused of? Talking. Getting Alberta's biggest
00:01:19.320 trading partner, the United States of America, to agree to acknowledge Alberta if and when
00:01:24.780 we democratically leave Canada and gain our independence. Traitors for talking. Nothing
00:01:32.440 has changed hands. On cue, the polite and tolerant keyboard warriors of Canada joined in to smear
00:01:40.820 all independence-minded Albertans with the same brush. We're traitors too. 0.51
00:01:45.700 The leaders of independence are not traitors. I am not a traitor. And you are not a traitor.
00:01:54.080 As Eva Chipiak has said in her speech at two independence rallies now.
00:01:59.440 Enough with the games. We are tired of being told to sit down and shut up. We are done with that.
00:02:05.620 Self-determination is not radical. Democratic participation is not dangerous. Asking a question
00:02:11.820 is not treason. An informed, engaged citizenry is not a threat to democracy. It is proof that
00:02:18.860 democracy is still alive.
00:02:20.280 We are not traitors. The leaders of the independence movement are patriots. I am a patriot. You are a
00:02:34.660 patriot. Alberta patriots. Don't let this discourage you. Don't falter. Don't get baited by these
00:02:43.160 politicians and intolerant Canadians. This is what we expected. They see we are winning. 1.00
00:02:51.320 They see they can't stop us. They see the crowds. They see the enthusiasm. They see
00:02:57.000 our momentum. They resort to insults, threats, and fear.
00:03:04.840 Much has been said about the people who sit in the middle. The people who have yet to make up their
00:03:09.220 minds about Alberta independence. These words are for you. Who do you listen to? A premier who
00:03:17.140 leads a province that is being picked apart piece by piece because of incompetence and stupidity? 1.00
00:03:23.780 Who do you trust? An NDP socialist politician in Alberta who calls you a threat because you think 1.00
00:03:30.900 your province can do better. Your family can do better outside of failing Canada. Or the leader of a
00:03:37.700 party and the leader of a country that takes our money, makes life less affordable, restricts your
00:03:44.820 freedoms, confiscates your defense, and denies your prosperity? Or do you put your trust in your
00:03:52.500 friends, fellow Albertans who want something better for you and your family, and want to do it
00:03:59.300 peacefully and democratically? The politicians who fail you? Or these people? Make your choice. I have.
