Hi, it's John and welcome to the Independence Calendar here on the channel. Great to have
00:00:08.080
you here for episode number one. And if you've been to this channel before, I always have
00:00:13.160
my big blue mug of coffee and I'm excited about this. It's something I've been wanting
00:00:16.860
to do for a while. I want to, every Sunday morning, upload a video to tell you what's
00:00:23.940
happening in the independence movement in Alberta. And there's a way that you can get
00:00:28.680
involved in the independence calendar on a weekly basis. I'm going to tell you about
00:00:33.180
that in just a minute, okay? It's been an interesting week when it comes to independence.
00:00:37.940
Bill 14 that could pass in the Alberta legislature may have changed everything. I had Alberta
00:00:44.560
Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvester on the show the other day. He says, John, we may be
00:00:49.540
gathering signatures in January. And just the other day, I had Jeff Rath on here as well.
00:00:54.680
And he says, they're going to start ramping things up in a big way when it comes to going
00:01:01.180
And then the other thing is, we're going to be really accelerating, you know, our pace
00:01:05.100
of town halls. Like we're hoping to do 100 town halls a month now. And, you know, oh yeah,
00:01:10.520
we're, it's, we're going to be, you know, it's good. We're going to be rocking and rolling.
00:01:15.740
If there's going to be hundreds of events, like Jeff says, I want to do my best to cover as
00:01:19.680
many of them as possible here on the independence calendar on a weekly basis.
00:01:24.480
Now, if you're somebody who's at home right now, and you feel like you don't have a voice
00:01:28.780
in the independence movement, you feel like you can't get out to one of these events,
00:01:33.260
or you can't get out of the house, and you would like to have a voice, I want to give
00:01:37.100
you one right here on the independence calendar. And all you have to have is a cell phone.
00:01:43.540
I'm going to tell you how you can do it in just a moment. So hang on for that.
00:01:47.260
Now, if you want to find out about events that are happening right now in the province,
00:01:51.940
when it comes to independence, the best thing to do is go to the Alberta Prosperity Project
00:01:56.600
website at albertaprosperity.com. Here are the events that are happening this week.
00:02:02.700
And you'll notice that most of these start at seven o'clock in the evening.
00:02:07.060
A special guest speaker, Chris Scott. Chris is fantastic at the Wimborne Community Center for
00:02:12.540
an APP chapter meeting. This is coming up on Monday the 8th. Also on Monday night,
00:02:17.060
one in Lethbridge at the Lethbridge Agri-Food Hub. And then at Cheadle Hall,
00:02:21.840
there's a Cheadle Let's Talk coming up on Tuesday evening. Wednesday night, a couple of events.
00:02:27.060
We've got one in Stetler for a Let's Talk there at the Stetler Community Hall.
00:02:30.920
And there'll be a special guest speaker at the Living Hope Church in Medicine Hat.
00:02:35.580
Guest speaker, Matt Klimaszewski. Be sure to RSVP. So go to the website and RSVP for these
00:02:41.560
last three you see here on the list. And there'll be a guest speaker at the Matisco Hall. I hope I'm
00:02:47.400
pronouncing that right. And Provost Kathy Flett on, this will be on Friday night. And coming up a week
00:02:53.600
from Monday, a special guest speaker, Mitch Sylvester at the Heritage Inn Hotel in Tabor at
00:02:59.180
7 o'clock. Again, RSVP for those last three events. Now, here's how you can get involved
00:03:05.580
right here on this channel and be part of the independence calendar. I'd like you to send me
00:03:12.060
a video telling me why you want Alberta to be independent. And I'd like you to keep it short.
00:03:19.020
Less than 30 seconds would be best. It will keep the video short. But what I'd like you to do is
00:03:23.740
record it on your phone. And then you can upload it to a service like iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox,
00:03:32.820
or another service. And then you can send me a link at johnboltonab at gmail.com. And I can download
00:03:41.000
the video and feature you right here on the independence calendar. Now, the other thing I'd
00:03:47.000
like you to do is if you have an event coming up when it comes to independence, maybe you're doing
00:03:52.500
something across the province, let me know about it. And maybe we can book an interview with you
00:03:57.940
right here on this channel. And you also can be part of the independence calendar. So that's the
00:04:03.220
independence calendar for this week. Again, the email address is johnboltonab at gmail.com. Send me
00:04:10.160
those videos, send me your events, and I'll hopefully talk to you and hear from you right here.
