I got a call from the Conservative Party of Canada and they wanted me to make a donation to them. I said no and I will not be making any donations to them for the foreseeable future. I don't think they understand what I want.

00:00:00.360 Hi, it's John, and welcome. Just sitting down in my basement today, minding my own business.
00:00:06.520 And a few minutes ago, I got a call from the Conservative Party of Canada.
00:00:12.980 The guy who called me, very nice, friendly on the phone, introduced himself. I was very cordial.
00:00:19.240 Nice to talk to you. My name is John. How can I help you today?
00:00:23.180 And he went into his script.
00:00:24.700 and he went on for 30 to 40 seconds without taking a breath talking about how the liberals are going
00:00:31.680 to try to pass bill c-22 how if they do this they'll have access to my phone my records my
00:00:37.360 logs my camera my conversations how if they pass this bill they're going to piss off a lot of
00:00:42.640 american companies as well and i agreed with the guy on pretty much everything he said
00:00:47.840 and then he said what i was expecting he wanted me to make a donation to the conservative party
00:00:54.380 of Canada. And I said, listen, sir, you need to understand something. I'm somebody who wants
00:01:00.760 Alberta independence. And your leader of your party, who I voted for last year, by the way,
00:01:07.600 has now said he is actively going to come into my province and campaign against what I want,
00:01:13.940 which is Alberta independence. And so has the MP I voted for in my riding. So I will not be making
00:01:20.340 any donations to the Conservative Party of Canada for the foreseeable future.
00:01:25.460 Now, what he said next, I didn't expect. You're not serious, he said. It will take
00:01:32.800 decades to negotiate Alberta independence, and that got my backup. I said, listen, pal,
00:01:39.060 you do not want to debate Alberta independence with me. What you don't understand is this.
00:01:45.460 People like myself who want independence in Alberta would rather take a chance on an independent Alberta than take a chance on a country that has left us behind for decades.
00:01:57.120 Back in 1987, Preston Manning said, the West wants in and we have been waiting ever since.
00:02:04.700 That was four decades ago.
00:02:07.940 What you don't understand as well is that even if Mr. Polyev were to win and be the
00:02:12.880 Prime Minister of this country, people like myself don't expect much different from the
00:02:16.820 Conservative Party.
00:02:18.080 And we always know that just down the road, within a few years, another Liberal will get
00:02:22.920 in, and the Liberal Party will have their boot on the neck of Alberta once again.
00:02:28.060 So I respectfully decline, have a nice day.
00:02:32.280 What these people don't understand is this, and I've said this on my channel many times,
00:02:36.360 Mr. Polyev is no different than Jason Kenney, then Nahed Nenshi, then Thomas Lukasik of Forever
00:02:43.340 Canadian, then Danielle Smith, then any of the other ones, including Mark Carney. They are all
00:02:50.240 the same to me.
