00:00:00.000 I woke up this morning, I started looking at the internet, different websites, different news organization websites, and everybody seems to be interested in Alberta all of a sudden.
00:00:11.000 And a phrase came to mind, the worm has turned. Let me explain.
00:00:19.900 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 410 AM. It is Wednesday, May 27th. I hope you're having a great start to your Wednesday.
00:00:26.700 I appreciate you being here and I want to talk to people in Canada and I want to talk to people
00:00:32.360 here in Alberta and in particular the people in Alberta who want Alberta independence.
00:00:38.620 I got some good news for you coming up and I want the people of Canada to understand how things
00:00:44.560 actually work in this country and talk a little bit of Alberta and our situation here and how
00:00:50.000 things have changed a little bit. I started off by saying the worm has turned. More on that in
00:00:54.420 just a moment. Let me start off by talking to the people who are part of the independence movement
00:00:58.920 here. You're frustrated. I know you're frustrated. I talk to people last weekend. I go out, I talk to
00:01:05.260 people. They want something to do. They want a plan. They want to move forward. They want to win
00:01:09.920 independence. I understand where you're coming from. I was watching Corey Morgan last night.
00:01:14.440 Go over and subscribe to Corey on YouTube. A lot of frustration in the comments. I said that myself.
00:01:20.120 I can't believe where we are right now.
00:01:22.240 With all the things that are happening, it's exhausting.
00:01:26.160 But things are happening behind the scenes, and I have some optimism.
00:01:30.300 But I want you to understand what you have done has been extraordinary.
00:01:33.220 Not just the petition signing, but have you noticed that the rest of the country has started listening to us?
00:01:40.640 Isn't that fascinating?
00:01:41.740 You know, the other night I was at the debate between Keith Wilson and Jason Kenney, and Keith won it.
00:01:47.240 but one of the messages that kenny was trying to pass along was we have to continue to try to
00:01:53.800 negotiate to get a better deal for alberta this is what we've been doing here in alberta for decades
00:01:58.840 and actually keith the other night talked about a number of different things i always think back
00:02:04.320 to the west wants in preston manning around 1987 that was 1987 that's almost 40 years ago kenny
00:02:11.300 says we need to continue doing what we've been doing to get a better deal for alberta what's
00:02:15.720 the definition of insanity. I believe it was Mark Twain. The definition of insanity is doing the
00:02:21.620 same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. That's what the establishment
00:02:26.340 like Jason Kenney wants you to believe we need to do. But that's not what we need to do. We need
00:02:32.000 to continue to agitate, agitate, agitate. That's very important. That was Frederick Douglass who
00:02:40.180 said that. The great Civil War abolitionist. Agitate to get what you really need because,
00:02:46.920 folks, the worm has turned. Now, where does that come from? Well, it comes from Shakespeare.
00:02:54.880 The smallest worm will turn being trodden on. Shakespeare's Henry VI. Now, what does this mean?
00:03:02.240 It means that something has fundamentally changed. Someone who has been oppressed or pushed around
00:03:08.040 for a long time, is finally fighting back. My friends in independence, the rest of Canada,
00:03:14.520 have you noticed everybody's paying attention to Alberta all of a sudden after being ignored
00:03:19.180 for decades? And it's because of what we've been doing in the Alberta independence movement,
00:03:25.060 because everybody's concerned Alberta is going to leave and they think we can win.
00:03:30.620 and we're going to take away our toys like oil gas resources and a hell of a lot of money let's
00:03:39.160 take a look at some of the stories from around the country right now this one can you rebuke
00:03:43.900 smith over court decision on consulting with first nations on separatism petition this from

00:04:39.440 Keep doing what you're doing. I know you're frustrated, folks, but a plan is coming. We've
00:04:45.280 got 150 days. There is still time. I want to bring to your attention this story right here.
00:04:50.420 This from the Calgary Sun, Rick Bell, Civil War, Jason Kenney paints a doomsday picture of an independent Alberta.
00:04:58.520 And I talked about this when I discussed the debate the other night between Jason Kenney and Keith Wilson.
00:05:04.040 All Kenney had was fear, which brings me around to the people who may have voted conservative in the election last year,
00:05:12.080 who are now standing with Jason Kenney, standing with Mark Carney, standing with Thomas Lukasik
00:05:18.820 and Daniel Smith and Pierre Polyev on the side that wants to vote no in the upcoming referendum.
00:05:25.880 I'm not saying this to be disrespectful to you. I want you to come over to our side.
00:05:31.600 Remember how you ridiculed the people last year who voted liberal, who had their elbows up?
00:05:37.220 you are being elbows upped. They're using fear to get you to their side. It's a Jedi mind trick.
00:05:47.280 Don't let this happen to you. Think logically, not emotionally. That's what liberals do.
00:05:53.980 They think emotionally. You voted conservative last year because you think logically. Don't let
00:06:00.620 them do this to you. That's what's happening. I'm not fearful of an independent Alberta.
00:06:06.360 I'm fearful of Alberta in Canada.
