00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 1150 AM, Wednesday, July the 29th. I hope
00:00:08.300 you're having a great Wednesday. I appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. I would
00:00:13.520 like to thank my wife for alerting me to this video. My wife understands how important this
00:00:20.040 is to me. My wife understands that details matter, that respect matters, as do I. I'm
00:00:30.220 going to prove it to you in just a moment. It's amazing how this came around from just
00:00:35.200 a week or so ago. I'd like to introduce you to Dane Lloyd. This is the man that Pierre
00:00:42.420 Polyev chose, the front man for the forever Canadian side when it comes to the Conservative
00:00:47.740 Party of Canada. This is Dane Lloyd, a lifelong Albertan. I question that now.
00:00:54.100 Tapped to lead party's efforts to keep Canada united. He's held his parkland riding since 2017,
00:01:00.080 so going on 10 years. He spent a lot of time in Ottawa. Mr. Lloyd doesn't understand that
00:01:05.120 details matter. He doesn't understand that respect matters as I do. Somebody from Ontario, by the way,
00:01:12.800 I have more respect for Alberta than Mr. Lloyd does. Now, I'm going to show you a video. Now,
00:01:17.640 what Mr. Lloyd is saying here after he is introduced, I cut the audio. It's not important
00:01:23.040 what he says. He's on CPAC. He's doing an interview about him being the front man for
00:01:27.960 Pierre Polyev in Alberta to fight for Canadian unity. But I want you to take a look at the video
00:01:33.540 and tell me what you see is wrong in the video. I'm just going to show you a short little bit of
00:01:39.200 this and then I'm going to wrap up this video and prove my point. Joining me now is Dane Lloyd,
00:01:44.400 the Conservative Party of Canada's Alberta referendum lead. Mr. Lloyd, thanks very much
00:01:47.880 for making time for this. I appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
00:01:59.420 Did you see anything wrong with that video? My wife did. As soon as she saw it,
00:02:05.140 she sent me the link because she knows that details matter to me and respect matters to me.
00:02:11.000 Now, I did take the audio out. It wasn't important. It was the visual.
00:02:15.320 But here is a still capture of the same interview with Mr. Lloyd on CPAC.
00:02:21.360 What is wrong with what you're seeing on the screen right here?
00:02:24.640 Well, let me point it out to you. If you look over Mr. Lloyd's left shoulder,
00:02:28.020 you will see what's obviously the Alberta flag.
00:02:30.700 And the flag has creases in it, and it's got wrinkles in it.
00:02:34.020 And I would argue with you that Mr. Lloyd doesn't regularly have an Alberta flag in his office.
00:02:40.680 This was put up for show.
00:02:42.920 He probably said to some staffer just prior to this interview,
00:02:46.720 I need to have an Alberta flag. Go get one for me.
00:02:49.860 They come in plastic bags, and this is what they look like after they come out of a plastic bag.
00:02:56.000 It looks a lot different from the one over his right shoulder, which obviously sits there all the time.
00:03:01.460 Now you might think, John, you're making a big deal out of nothing. I'm not. This is important
00:03:06.920 to me. Mr. Lloyd is supposed to be the point man for Mr. Polyev in Alberta for Canadian unity,
00:03:13.100 and he's failing, folks. This is the attitude these people have. He's been a MP in Ottawa for
00:03:19.160 the last 10 years. Mr. Polyev's been there for more than 20. But this matters to me. And my wife
00:03:24.740 sent me the video because she knew it mattered to me. Let me tell you a story. The day before
00:03:30.360 the telethon. I was expecting five flags from Edmonton. Max from Freedom Calendar was bringing
00:03:35.380 them in with five poles so we could have a nice backdrop for the studio here in Calgary for the
00:03:40.340 telethon. And they showed up and they came in plastic bags. And I said to Jagger, who owned
00:03:45.260 the property where the studio was, would you happen to have an ironing board and an iron?
00:03:50.040 Because there's no way I'm putting those flags on those poles with creases and wrinkles.
00:03:54.280 That is disrespectful. He says, John, I happen to have an iron and an ironing board. And I spent
00:03:59.600 the next hour to the hour, an hour and a half, ironing those flags. And here are the pictures
00:04:04.880 that prove it. And here are the flags in the studio after they were ironed. Now,
00:04:13.500 I just want to let you know this, that if I had to have a Canadian flag in that studio with me that
00:04:20.940 day, I may not want to be part of Canada, but I would have ironed a Canadian flag as well,
00:04:26.000 because I have respect for it? Unlike Mr. Lloyd, who's supposed to be representing Alberta in a
00:04:32.000 fight against the independence movement. But isn't this typical of the attitude people from
00:04:37.080 Ottawa have towards Alberta and Albertans? Let me know what you think in the comments.
00:04:42.980 If you like the video, give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel,
00:04:45.840 ring the bell for notifications. I'll see you in the next one.
