00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 1216, Saturday, July the 25th. I hope you're having
00:00:08.680 a great Saturday and a fantastic weekend. This video is not going to be very long. Frankly,
00:00:15.120 I've got better things to do than sit in front of this camera on a lovely afternoon here in
00:00:19.740 Calgary. My bike is sitting in the garage waiting to be ridden. I expect to be far from home in
00:00:25.360 about an hour, but I've been waiting to talk about this story, which I read about, oh, probably
00:00:31.280 nine to 10 hours ago, early this morning when I got up. And nobody else is thinking about this
00:00:36.980 in the way that I am. It pisses me off. And everybody else is celebrating. I don't think
00:00:42.620 it's anything to celebrate because it's bullshit, folks. Here's the story right here. If I can get 0.99
00:00:48.580 my mouse to work. God, I hate when this happens. There we go. Separatist petition verified by
00:00:53.860 Elections Alberta with 223,000 signatures. This number bothers me. You see, when I was in Edmonton,
00:01:03.780 I was told the number was 301,000 signatures. Now, I trust Mitch Sylvester, Eva Chipiak,
00:01:10.840 the people who counted those signatures that went to Elections Alberta many months ago,
00:01:16.020 and now we're told the number is 223,000. So what Elections Alberta, what the staff there,
00:01:23.160 What Gordon McClure, the chief electoral officer of Elections Alberta, is telling us, that the people that I know, the brothers and sisters who I know, who sat in the snow, in the muck, in the dirt, in the cold, starting January 2nd for four months, they screwed up 80,000 times?
00:01:42.660 Is that what they're trying to tell me?
00:01:44.460 Because I don't believe it.
00:01:45.920 I'm calling it out for what it is. 1.00
00:01:47.500 It's bullshit. 1.00
00:01:48.220 it. It's quite evident that Elections Alberta has its thumb on the scale for Forever Canadian. 1.00
00:01:58.260 We see what's going on with Thomas the Kazakh, folks. But I don't trust this number. 223,000, 1.00
00:02:05.240 80,000 tossed out signatures. Is that what you're telling me? I don't trust Elections Alberta. I
00:02:12.060 don't trust Gordon McClure, chief electoral officer. They've got two formal complaints in
00:02:16.900 right now. Rebel News just submitted one, and I guess Keith Wilson and Let Alberta Decide have 0.92
00:02:23.080 done the same. I think they're asking for his resignation, for all I know. I don't trust this
00:02:29.360 number, and it bothers me, and it's not bothering anybody else. Oh, look, we should be happy we got
00:02:34.240 223,000. I don't believe the people I know who were so precise about getting those names on
00:02:41.320 those sheets screwed up 80,000 times. I don't believe it. Just my take. What do you think?
00:02:52.320 Let me know in the comments. I'm going out on my bike. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up.
