00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel just up in my kitchen right now, filling up
00:00:07.220 the big blue mug once again.
00:00:09.640 It's almost 6 o'clock in the morning on December the 23rd, and I wanted to do this short video
00:00:14.840 because I've got some great interviews coming up on the channel over the next couple of
00:00:19.040 days.
00:00:20.040 One will scare the hell out of you, the other one is absolutely outstanding and amazing.
00:00:24.920 As you know, the Alberta Prosperity Project, shortly after Bill 14 here in Alberta was
00:00:30.120 passed, resubmitted their application to move ahead with a signature campaign when it comes
00:00:35.580 to an Alberta referendum.
00:00:37.040 And just yesterday, that application was accepted by the Chief Electoral Officer of Alberta,
00:00:44.140 Gordon McClure.
00:00:45.220 So that means at the beginning of January, we are going to start moving ahead with a
00:00:49.900 signature campaign in Alberta, and that means a referendum on Alberta independence is coming in
00:00:55.300 2026. I will be speaking with Mitch Sylvester later on this morning about what's coming up,
00:01:01.660 and I want to thank Mitch for all the work he's doing and what the Alberta Prosperity Project is
00:01:05.800 doing to move ahead Alberta independence. It is really exciting. Now, the other interview I'm
00:01:11.300 going to be doing is with John Carpe. He is with the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
00:01:17.280 I watched a number of videos from John last week, and he talks about free speech rights, and honestly, I am scared to death of what is coming with the Liberal government, and in particular, if they ever happen to get a majority in this country.
00:01:34.700 They'll be able to move ahead with really, really clamping down on rights of Canadians here on the Internet, social media, all of those different things.
00:01:43.180 So I'm going to talk to John about this. I've got a lot of questions, and I'm rather confused about everything that's going on right now and all the C-bills that are in play that could have, well, could infringe on your speech rights.
00:01:55.680 As George Washington said, if freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we shall be led like sheep to the slaughter.
00:02:04.860 So John Carpe, I'll be talking to him today, and I'll be putting that video up tomorrow. 0.60
00:02:09.140 You need to know about your rights and you need to be concerned about all these bills that are up in the air like balls being juggled right now by the federal government.
00:02:18.760 That coming up over the next couple of days on my channel.
00:02:22.020 By the way, I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:02:24.140 Thanks very much for being part of this channel.
00:02:26.720 If you like the video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications, and I will see you in the next one.
