00:00:00.000 They know it's gotten real. Look at that. Look at that line in a very small town just south of Edmonton.
00:00:06.120 Look at that. Oh, they're worried. They're worried, all right.
00:00:12.080 Look at that line, man. Unbelievable.
00:00:15.780 Monday night in the rural Alberta town of Millett, less than an hour south of Edmonton,
00:00:19.920 people here are lining up near the community center out the door for one thing,
00:00:24.520 to support a petition calling for an Alberta independence referendum.
00:00:27.980 I mean, you have to look at the lines. The lines are so freaking long.
00:00:34.640 And this is in the middle of winter in Alberta.
00:00:37.960 These people are out there standing in the cold at night just to sign the petition.
00:00:43.800 If that doesn't say Albertans have had enough, I don't know what does.
00:00:50.560 Oh, man, you love to see it. You love to see it.
00:00:54.160 The mainstream media cannot help but report on Alberta independence and the numbers that are showing up out there and the levels of enthusiasm that Albertans are displaying.
00:01:04.320 They can't help it, man. They have to pay attention and you love to see it.
00:01:08.140 Let's watch this report here from CD News.
00:01:11.160 Oh, yeah.
00:01:12.220 Throughout the evening, the line to get in grew longer, going eventually around the block.
00:01:17.360 When Albertans did arrive, they signed the petition and had the opportunity to listen to an information session by organizers.
00:01:23.880 Stay Free Alberta is the group leading the signature phase, independent from the group who submitted the petition.
00:01:29.280 People we spoke to largely had one word on the mind. Change.
00:01:34.180 You know what I would like to see is us like Quebec.
00:01:38.120 They seem to get whatever they want.
00:01:40.720 They get a lot of attention.
00:01:42.360 They get a lot of funding, a lot of this, a lot of that.
00:01:47.040 I think we need to be more like them.
00:01:49.220 You know, I just don't like what's going on in the communities.
00:01:51.360 I don't like the what's happening, the, you know, the crazy taxes, the homelessness, the drugs.
00:01:58.020 Like there's just some we need to wake up a bit to get our own our own country going.
00:02:04.440 That's what we need.
00:02:05.420 We need to be separated from the east.
00:02:07.180 No more control.
00:02:08.580 Do you agree Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state to a referendum?
00:02:13.920 Here is to see the independence petition reach one million signatures.
00:02:17.560 Albertans interested in having the referendum believe it could be worth the risk.
00:02:22.300 We can start doing what we, more independence as far as what we can do with our natural resources in the province.
00:02:29.900 Just less pushback.
00:02:30.940 We all just need to band together and do what's right for our communities.
00:02:34.220 And if, if you do sign, like it's, it's, I don't have anything against anybody.
00:02:40.500 It's just my own.
00:02:41.980 I just see a really big difference in our communities and I want to see change.
00:02:44.840 We're tired of having no voice in a country that is falling apart, is going broke without admitting it.
00:02:53.340 This is another angle of that exact same town, Millett, just south of Edmonton.
00:02:57.520 I think about 35, 40 minutes south of Edmonton.
00:03:01.360 This is another angle from that town.
00:03:03.520 The line was around the block.
00:03:06.440 People are showing up in big numbers.
00:03:09.780 This is why the media can't help but pay attention now.
00:03:12.520 This is why liberal senators like that crazy one that we listened to a couple of days ago are freaking out.
00:03:19.240 This is exactly why.
00:03:20.460 This is why they're attacking us.
00:03:22.120 This is why they're trying to get venues canceled for videos like this.
00:03:26.940 They know it's gotten real.
00:03:28.580 Look at that.
00:03:29.660 Look at that line in a, in a very small town just south of Edmonton.
00:03:33.180 Look at that.
00:03:33.600 Oh, they're worried.
00:03:42.060 They're worried.
00:03:42.980 All right.
00:03:44.120 Look at that line, man.
00:03:46.920 Unbelievable.
00:03:49.500 Did you see that line?
00:03:52.280 Holy smokes, man.
00:03:53.580 Look at that.
00:03:54.080 The amount of people in a tiny town.
00:03:58.720 This is not a big city.
00:03:59.880 It's a small town.
00:04:02.400 Incredible.
00:04:04.040 You can see that.
00:04:05.220 Hundreds of people, at least a couple hundred people.
00:04:07.380 And again, this is a small town.
00:04:09.580 These are often small towns where there aren't more than 500,000 people living in the whole town.
00:04:14.700 Here's another lineup.
00:04:16.120 This one took place in Spruce Grove, just west of the city of Edmonton, capital of Alberta.
00:04:21.000 This one had to take place because they canceled the previous location.
00:04:24.640 Some left is probably called the venue, which was supposed to be the Canadian Brewhouse.
00:04:28.380 And they gave in to the pressure and they canceled the event.
00:04:32.540 But Alberta Patriots are resilient.
00:04:34.760 Credit to Jason Levine and all the organizers that worked with him to make this event still happen.
00:04:40.360 It still happened.
00:04:41.120 Last minute, they just found a location in Spruce Grove.
00:04:44.900 Shout out to the owners of that location.
00:04:46.420 Thank you so much.
00:04:47.460 And they made it happen.
00:04:49.740 And there were lines outside.
00:04:51.720 Again, check this out.
00:04:55.620 This is in Spruce Grove.
00:05:01.240 Again, this was last minute because they canceled the one that was supposed to happen in Edmonton
00:05:07.480 because some probably some leftist activists or some hater decided to call into the venue to get them to cancel.
00:05:15.140 They gave into the pressure and they found a new location in a smaller town.
00:05:21.840 And they got her done.
00:05:24.400 Look at that.
00:05:25.920 Families, younger people, older people, all kinds of people out there.
00:05:31.300 And speaking of venues being canceled last minute, of course, the leftists are coming up with ways to sabotage the Alberta independence movement
00:05:39.100 because why debate?
00:05:40.460 Why have a civil conversation and try to talk to Albertans who support independence and try to convince them to stay?
00:05:46.340 No, instead, we're going to sabotage, attack and insult them because that will get us to want to stay a part of Canada.
00:05:53.040 Anyways, let's read this tweet from Jason Levine, who was supposed to host this event in Edmonton last night, but it was canceled.
00:06:02.160 He goes, the hypocrisy award of the day goes to the Canadian Brewhouse.
00:06:06.960 This is the notice they posted under Edmonton North location.
00:06:11.160 Notice how it says the Canadian Brewhouse does not take political positions and remains committed to being an inclusive and welcoming space for all.
00:06:17.740 Then immediately followed in bold by, quote, guests who arrived for this event will unfortunately not be able to stay or be served as the space is not available for this gathering.
00:06:29.120 Typical Marxist double speak.
00:06:31.700 Everyone is welcome to our non-political establishment except people with political views we do not share.
00:06:39.360 Anyone but conservatives.
00:06:41.000 Anyone can show up except conservatives.
00:06:43.280 Ha, the people see this for what it is, interference in a legal democratic process and legally protected freedom of speech.
00:06:53.100 P.S.
00:06:53.520 They don't mind hosting fundraisers for frivolous political recalls.
00:06:57.840 They have clearly picked a side and that's simply sad to see.
00:07:01.660 There's the hypocrisy right there.
00:07:03.020 So this is the notice that they gave for canceling the Alberta Independence event, the Alberta Independence Town Hall.
00:07:09.420 Well, they canceled it last minute, but and then they say they're not political, right?
00:07:14.700 They say, oh, we're not a political organization.
00:07:17.080 That's why we can't host it.
00:07:18.460 But then they have this, which is a leftist gathering for a recall petition, basically trying to recall or fire a conservative member of the legislature.
00:07:30.080 This they can totally host in the Canadian Brewhouse.
00:07:33.780 They don't have a problem hosting this one because it's it's a leftist one, right?
00:07:38.640 Look, at this point, even the media can't pretend this isn't happening.
00:07:43.580 You've got liberals literally losing it on record.
00:07:47.760 Senators panicking and calling Albertans every name on the book.
00:07:51.420 And the left is absolutely freaking out.
00:07:54.600 And it's not hard to see why.
00:07:56.140 I mean, signatures are pouring in.
00:07:58.820 Town halls are packed wall to wall.
00:08:00.780 Small towns are literally getting overcrowded because people are showing up in droves just to sign the petition.
00:08:07.440 And now that they can no longer ignore it, they're trying to shut it down behind the scenes.
00:08:13.140 They're pressuring venues, calling the owners, trying to get events canceled.
00:08:19.140 Because when a movement gets this big, this fast and publicly, the panic sets in.
00:08:26.040 And that's exactly what you're watching right now.
00:08:30.780 It's crazy.
00:08:31.680 It's crazy.
00:08:42.420 Like, if you can fan, let them know.
00:08:47.080 It will be a story here.
00:08:47.720 And like, they'll take a conversation.
00:08:49.420 And then
