Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Wednesday, January the 28th. I hope
00:00:07.660 you're having a great start to Wednesday morning. I tipped my big blue mug of coffee to you
00:00:11.840 today. Thanks for being here. And I hope you'll excuse my voice. It's still a little
00:00:16.640 bit shot from all the talking I did on Monday leading up to the independence rally here
00:00:22.980 in Calgary on Monday night. I took most of the day off yesterday because I could hardly
00:00:26.840 talk. So today I want to talk about something I've noticed over the last 48 hours. You
00:00:32.380 may have noticed this earlier if you spent a lot of time on social media. I don't. But
00:00:36.780 I have posted a few things online over the last couple of days and it's got me thinking
00:00:40.880 a few things and I want to address them right now. I want to talk about what I think is
00:00:45.940 increasingly the myth of tolerance and politeness of Canadians. I think at one time you could
00:00:53.780 say that most Canadians were more tolerant and polite than our American neighbors. I
00:00:59.840 used to believe that, but I don't think that's the case anymore. There's the old joke about
00:01:03.740 somebody bumps into a Canadian and the Canadian says, sorry. I don't think that's the case
00:01:08.280 anymore because I've noticed that there's less politeness. There's actually hatred from
00:01:12.900 a lot of Canadians and intolerance from a lot of Canadians. Now, I am not painting everybody
00:01:18.060 with the same brush. I wouldn't do that. There are plenty of polite, tolerant Canadians, but
00:01:22.380 there are fewer and fewer every day. I also believe that a lot of Canadians do not want
00:01:28.500 to have any debate. They try to shut it down. And again, I'll use the old quote. I've said
00:01:35.260 it a lot lately because this is becoming more prevalent in social media. I hear it a lot more.
00:01:39.900 But when the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. And that's happening right
00:01:45.080 now. And a lot of the same people, they don't want the democratic process to move forward.
00:01:50.280 They resort to insults, threats, and dirty tricks. I might even call this video that.
00:01:58.260 That might be the thumbnail. Insults, threats, dirty tricks. But I also want to talk about
00:02:03.160 friendship here. And I'm going to get to that right at the end. Now, this is in relation to me
00:02:08.380 in the independence movement, but it's got a lot to do with the way people are reacting to the
00:02:14.160 independence movement and behaving when it comes to the independence movement. Because you see a lot of
00:02:18.660 this. And there's lots of this online. A lot of this online. This is just one.
00:02:25.620 And calling somebody a racist today, you know, I've been called a racist before. I am not.
00:02:31.440 People in the independence movement are all different colors. I speak to them. Watch the
00:02:37.500 video I did yesterday. You'll see that. These are my friends. I talked to Mitch Sylvester after the event
00:02:44.180 the other night. And I said, said, I felt like I was with friends. He says, yes, that's exactly what
00:02:48.280 this is about. So I guess I'm getting to the friendship part really soon. But this is what
00:02:52.820 people are resorting to. And then you've got stuff like this. And this, this is the video I put up on
00:03:01.240 the 26th prior to the event Monday night. And a little video I did talking about being at the big four.
00:03:07.100 That's me. You recognize me in that video. And what's the first thing that somebody said about
00:03:12.900 me? Pack your S, you old F, and get out of my Albertan. When you Fers lose and you will, you have
00:03:20.900 24 hours to get your A out of Alberta. That's it. That's all. And there are plenty of comments like
00:03:27.160 this in relation to this video. I'm not on X very much. Not too many people respond to my videos
00:03:33.340 because I haven't got a big footprint there. Lots of people commented and there's lots of
00:03:37.880 comments just like that. And then there's this guy. And this guy is notorious. I know that Derek
00:03:45.060 from Unacceptable Fringe talks about this guy. The video this guy posted here has been blocked for
00:03:51.840 adult content. All I can say is this shows people being lynched, this video. I think if I put it on
00:03:59.300 YouTube, it might get blocked. But this guy is notorious. Apparently he ditches his X account
00:04:05.840 and then he reapplies for it. So he gets, he's kind of hiding out there because he's been reported a
00:04:11.840 number of times for threats against people and insults. So look at the insult. Have the day you
00:04:17.280 deserve all you inbred, brain dead, traitorous effing ditch billies. It's time we started treating this
00:04:24.100 human garbage like this again. And you see a number of people and you see the nooses and they do the big
00:04:28.740 drop. That's what you're getting. And this is what I'm seeing more and more. This is the intolerance
00:04:35.040 I'm seeing from Canadians. I don't know where all these people are from. You know, Gus there at the
00:04:41.560 end is in Alberta. So these are people that I have to live with. I'm assuming this person probably lives
00:04:46.300 in their basement in their parents' house. But people are also resulting to dirty tricks. And then I want
00:04:54.400 to get to what maybe we could add this to the title. Maybe we could call it insults, threats,
00:05:01.260 dirty tricks, and lies. You've got this guy right here. This is Thomas Lukasik. And this guy is part
00:05:07.400 of the Forever Canadian campaign. And Lukasik is resorting to lies about the independence movement.
00:05:13.620 See, the debate is lost here. And that's why I think the independence movement is winning this thing
00:05:17.740 and why I increasingly think we're going to win. Let's hear a little bit of what Thomas Lukasik has to
00:05:23.300 say here because what he's saying here is an outright lie. Fellow Albertans, Canadians,
00:05:30.320 I know that you're all worried. You're watching the news every day and you're seeing hundreds of
00:05:34.860 fellow Albertans lining up and signing the separatist petition. I am concerned too because
00:05:40.760 we know that this will lead to an inevitable referendum. We all know that our Alberta government
00:05:46.060 has cleared all obstacles for the separatists. And we also know that they are now negotiating with
00:05:52.020 President Trump. This no longer is about independence. This is about becoming the 51st state.
00:05:58.820 What Thomas Lukasik says here is a lie. He lies in more ways than one in that clip, but he's a liar.
00:06:06.020 He sees himself as some kind of Captain Canada, but he's a narcissist and an egotist. First off,
00:06:11.920 he says hundreds of Albertans are signing a petition. No, it's thousands. And it will likely be
00:06:16.420 millions of people signing a petition. And then he goes on to the 51st state. We do not want to become
00:06:22.860 the 51st state. As Mitch Sylvester said at the event the other night here in Calgary at the Big Four,
00:06:27.940 we want to become our own country. And then he goes to the old standby to scare people.
00:06:33.960 He brings up Donald Trump because that's what they've all got. And I'm going to prove it even
00:06:37.980 more in just a moment. So now maybe we can name this video, Insults, Threats, Dirty Tricks, Lies,
00:06:44.320 and Trump. Let's go over to Nahed Nanshi. For those of you who don't live in Alberta
00:06:49.000 and don't have to deal with somebody like Nahed Nanshi, he is the leader of the NDP here. And this
00:06:55.340 is what he has to say. At a time when we all need to be on Team Canada, Danielle Smith is stoking the
00:07:01.880 fires of separatism and her separatist government is dividing us all. Cozying up to Donald Trump
00:07:09.100 and those who want to make us the 51st state plays right into Trump's hands.
00:07:14.900 So the first thing I show you in that clip is Nahed Nanshi going to Team Canada. Where have you
00:07:21.180 been, Nahed? Team Canada has been dead for ages. You've got David Eby, the BC Premier in British
00:07:28.260 Columbia, blocking a pipeline that Canada and Alberta desperately need to get to the coast.
00:07:33.520 You've got Doug Ford losing his, well, you know what he's losing in Ontario, standing up talking
00:07:39.600 about how Carney's bringing EVs into Ontario that will devastate the Ontario automotive industry.
00:07:46.180 You've got Quebec that doesn't want a pipeline going through there, who wants to leave the country.
00:07:50.800 You've got a growing separatist movement in Saskatchewan. You've got the independence
00:07:54.580 movement here in Alberta. And folks, I hate to tell you, Jason Levine, I was on his show the other day,
00:07:59.760 thanks to Jason and his wife for allowing me to be on the show. You've got a BC Prosperity Project
00:08:05.340 growing in British Columbia, and they want to leave now too. Team Canada in the head. And of course,
00:08:12.020 he goes to Donald Trump as well, because that's the playbook. Now, I've mentioned a number of times.
00:08:17.580 So what's our title now? Insults, Threats, Dirty Tricks, Lies, and Trump. Well, I haven't talked about
00:08:22.380 dirty tricks, but we had dirty tricks pop up the other night as well. And here are the dirty tricks.
00:08:28.560 During Jeff Rath's speech at the independence rally at the Big Four in Calgary, this happened.
00:08:33.880 How safe and law abiding every RPAL holder in this province is, right? And again, you know,
00:08:41.560 we have Daniel Smith refusing to issue us. Oh, hang on. Is CSIS in the house? Are they trying to
00:08:47.780 make us clear out of the room or what? Somebody pulled the fire alarm. Somebody pulled a fire alarm.
00:08:53.180 And prior to the event, I was standing around talking to a number of people.
00:08:56.380 And we talked about this exact thing happening. I was in the middle of the building, standing up at
00:09:02.260 the time, and I went down the stairs to see what was going on while Jeff Rath was still talking. And
00:09:07.880 the firefighter showed up. And I talked to the woman who saw the guy that did this. And she went over to
00:09:13.100 confront him. And he ran off like a child. My wife told me yesterday she saw on Facebook, they caught
00:09:18.680 the guy. Rise of Alberta says they have. They have identified and confirmed the individual who pulled the
00:09:23.980 fire alarm during last night's large Alberta independence event. This is a serious offense.
00:09:29.020 You pull a fire alarm and 5,000 people rush out of the building. Somebody could have been seriously
00:09:33.300 injured. I asked chat GPT what happens if you pull a fire alarm in Alberta, up to two years in jail,
00:09:40.520 and you could also be fined. And this person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
00:09:46.520 So this video title is getting a little long here. Insults, threats, dirty tricks, lies, and Trump.
00:09:54.060 I did say this would be about friendship. And I believe that's what this is about.
00:09:59.880 All I saw the other night was friendship. A lot of people I felt a kinship to the other night.
00:10:04.940 Here's pictures that I took while I was standing in the middle of the building. And it was right over
00:10:08.240 here that the fire alarm started going off, by the way. Here's more pictures and more pictures.
00:10:14.680 It was all about friendship. Here are a lot of people that want a better life for their families,
00:10:19.980 who think we can do better without Canada. And I spoke to people the other night, including Wade,
00:10:25.800 who got a tear in his eye talking about a better life for his grandchildren. He said,
00:10:31.100 I probably won't benefit much from this because I'm older. I want to do something for my grandchildren.
00:10:36.360 But what does the other side do? They don't have any tolerance. There's no politeness.
00:10:40.560 They threaten us. There's no debate. There's no democratic process. Insults, threats,
00:10:45.760 dirty tricks, lies, and Trump. And what we want is friendship and a better world for our families
00:10:51.920 here in a separate and independent Alberta. I mentioned this to Mitch Sylvester right at the
00:10:58.660 end of the evening the other night and watch his reaction. Congratulations.
00:11:02.780 Well, thanks, John. Thanks for your interview and thanks for everything you do for us.
00:11:06.120 Well, it's my pleasure. Just to be a small part of this is wonderful, but to be a part of an event
00:11:10.620 like this is terrific. It's fun, isn't it? It really is. You know, I feel like I'm with friends
00:11:14.840 here. That's exactly correct. That's what the whole thing with all these events are for. People
00:11:20.260 understand that they're part of a group of like-minded people that think and have the same
00:11:24.480 ambitions and goals as they have. And it empowers people. And that's why our events are getting
00:11:29.280 bigger and bigger and bigger. And that's why people are lining up. Because people want to be part of it.
00:11:33.400 And they're very happy to do it. And they're not happy with the circumstance. And so, you know,
00:11:38.020 it's a perfect storm. Every time I go to one of these events, I feel friendship, kinship,
00:11:43.880 love, understanding, people of all ages, lots of kids there the other night. I spoke to people
00:11:49.660 of different ethnicities who want Alberta independence as well. That's all we want. And if
00:11:55.460 you come across these people who insult you and threaten you, just walk away. They're not worth
00:12:01.340 our time. Thank you very much for watching. Be kind to each other out there. If you like the video,

00:12:11.940 in the next one. I've got to go fill up the mug. It's getting cold.
