PJ The Belt

00:00:00.000 it's two hills i'm assuming this is their downtown fairly quiet little town and here you have

00:00:07.440 the signing location right there find one near you and sign the petition

00:00:14.980 okay this is the signing location two hills signing location

00:00:21.020 yeah everybody it's pj welcome back to another installment of driving in the middle of nowhere

00:00:31.380 with my wife hey guys we're uh you know bagged by popular demand i guess uh we made a video

00:00:39.860 uh in this format previously those of you who watched it are aware and a decent majority of

00:00:48.500 you said that we should probably you know make videos like this more often and uh we are taking

00:00:57.340 the opportunity to do that uh this occasion we're actually headed to a little town in the middle of

00:01:05.660 nowhere northeast central alberta called two hills um for a very special special occasion

00:01:15.500 and what is the occasion pj it's probably what you all are wondering um we are going to sign the

00:01:27.160 petition woo it's finally yeah it's uh been meaning to sign it i was always going to sign it i am not

00:01:37.320 gonna be uh we're not gonna talk about this this much and then not sign it i'm not gonna hound you

00:01:44.440 guys every day about signing the independence petition and then not sign it myself i haven't

00:01:53.020 reached that level of hypocrisy yet but you know maybe it happened i guess if i uh yeah if i associate

00:02:01.100 with liberals long enough if i ever do i probably would um yeah we're it's the location that is closest

00:02:09.500 to us we live out in the county just outside i've told you guys multiple times just outside of a

00:02:15.340 little town called vegraville in the county and this is the closest to us i've had the opportunity to do

00:02:22.480 it before but i always like when i've gone to activities i mostly go and do content and i've

00:02:29.120 forgotten to sign the petition and when i'm on my way back to my small town i i'm like oh crap i

00:02:37.420 forgot to sign it but yeah this time we're out here this is about what 20 minutes from where we live

00:02:46.420 like 20 minutes from the county yeah where we live so this is the location that works best for us

00:02:52.800 i mean that guy's got his eye beams on

00:02:55.040 so yeah we're gonna go sign it um every signature collector i've had the opportunity to talk to

00:03:05.460 has said that they're very encouraged by the long lines by the consistent support that they're seeing

00:03:15.020 at uh signature collection locations the amount of uh people applying to become canvassers

00:03:24.240 so because i know a lot of you have asked hey pj you have a an approximate count you know where the

00:03:31.820 numbers are at and um for one i know that um i don't think that they can that they can give

00:03:40.060 um numbers publicly until signature collection has been completed officially so i don't think they

00:03:48.520 can give numbers but i also heard from jeffrey rath one of the leaders of uh from the alberta

00:03:55.020 prosperity project and one of the advocates of alberta independence he's mentioned on various

00:04:01.700 occasions now that we're looking really good to to to exceed the minimum so we're absolutely going to

00:04:11.660 exceed the minimum i personally don't don't think it's a good idea to tell people uh when we've

00:04:18.360 reached the minimum even if we've already reached it i don't think it's a good idea because then

00:04:23.260 momentum people get complacent and we lose momentum right like we we want to shatter this this thing we

00:04:31.840 want to we want to get record numbers we want to do a million signatures yeah the more the merrier

00:04:38.720 so exactly when you tell people what the number is people might take it for granted they'll be like

00:04:45.020 you know what we're pretty much already at the number we don't need to keep going out in droves

00:04:49.840 but we need to keep the momentum otherwise we just want to blow it out of the water too the more the

00:04:55.660 better take no prisoners yeah take no prisoners we have to this this right here it's like um

00:05:03.620 jeffrey rath calls it this is the declaration of independence petition if we get one million

00:05:10.940 signatures on this petition oh boy that might as well be a declaration of independence and you have

00:05:18.700 the naysayers the contrarians the woke left the lunatics oh a million people there's five million

00:05:26.940 people in alberta yeah but that's not five million voters exactly there's children bunch of kids you

00:05:35.240 know bunch of people who are not able to vote because they're not you know there may not be

00:05:40.280 canadian citizens you know they're not there's teenagers exactly who are not a voting age there's

00:05:47.340 got to be a couple million people who cannot vote it's got to be based on um eligible voters and i

00:05:55.840 believe that's i don't know what the exact number is so don't quote me on this but that's probably

00:06:00.780 what two million people eligible voters so if we get a million votes a million signatures that's a

00:06:10.320 monumental statement monumental moment like we might as well just freaking declare independence

00:06:18.340 you know i mean that is not the process but what i'm saying is that's just how significant

00:06:24.820 yeah of a feat that or an accomplishment that would be it's a huge statement indeed yeah like

00:06:35.240 they go like they're gonna have to pay attention that's when you see ottawa start to want to

00:06:41.520 negotiate i mean they're already already already they're they're already trying like you got mark

00:06:48.980 carney doing like uh what do you call it how can i call this like um band-aid policy changes yeah

00:06:57.160 trying to salvage you know trying to make it seems like he cares about alberta yeah like oh my home

00:07:03.440 province of alberta even though he's not from alberta sure he lived here for some time but he that guy

00:07:09.420 is the least alberta person ever globalist davos types world economic forum united nations types like

00:07:18.780 you're not an albertan like i'm from another country and alberta adopted me and i'm a hundred percent

00:07:25.660 more albertan than carney will ever be yeah a hundred percent so you guys wondering the time is

00:07:33.240 right now 5 26 in the afternoon though it looks a lot later because we're obviously way up north

00:07:41.740 um for those of you south of the border um so it gets dark early i mean it the days are getting

00:07:51.020 longer now just a month or two ago it would have already been pitch black at five yeah because it got

00:07:58.440 dark at like four a month ago or a month and a half ago but now the days are getting longer so yeah

00:08:04.860 it's 5 30 the weather is decent it's been decent this entire week right now it's around what minus

00:08:13.380 one or something like that so it's not bad at all minus one celsius yeah i look forward to the warmer

00:08:23.140 weather yeah we just had groundhog day and apparently little guy saw his shadow so

00:08:30.860 it's like i was saying to you i think that's just a bunch of bullshit like how are we relying on a

00:08:37.500 groundhog to tell us what the hell's going on they can't talk hey there's got to be something to it

00:08:42.220 is there a scientist that like tests their blood to say if it's yes or no like how do you know

00:08:47.240 they have uh they have uh prophet uh dna they have a seer what do you call it what's this dude

00:08:58.020 nostradamus dna you got a little crystal ball the little fellas maybe he sees himself in a mirror

00:09:05.560 and freaks out that's how they know that they that he saw himself i don't see a shadow yeah on average

00:09:13.620 for those of you who don't live in alberta on average our winters last five to six months

00:09:18.760 they start normally late late october early november on average right and then they last until april

00:09:30.840 they're long they're harsh we do get we do get breaks here and there like right now we have

00:09:37.680 it's been like a week or two of mild winter but it's normally minus 15 minus 20 minus 30 celsius

00:09:47.220 like that's normal and for a prolonged period of time so yeah lots of fun lots yeah

00:09:55.980 wish uh our winters were a bit shorter if they ended sometime in february like mid-feb

00:10:05.580 i wouldn't complain exactly yeah it's like there's a bunch of states um that have winter but they

00:10:15.800 don't get it as harsh as we do and for not as long either like i think iowa is probably a good example

00:10:21.400 because it's likely similar weather to us but it's just milder and for not as long either

00:10:27.800 yeah i don't think there's a state um in the lower 48 that is as harsh and prolonged as alberta winter

00:10:38.580 yeah um you'd probably have to go to alaska i mean montana is right there obviously connected to alberta

00:10:44.900 but i'm talking about not southern alberta winter i'm talking about central and northern alberta winter

00:10:52.080 yeah like i i don't live too i live somewhat close to a place that has ranked

00:10:57.880 the coldest place on earth multiple times which is called uh i guess appropriately called cold lake

00:11:07.540 makes sense um they named that right it's about two hours northeast of where i am

00:11:15.080 and that place has ranked uh the coldest place on earth multiple multiple times before like

00:11:23.480 minus 50 minus 55 minus 60 has occurred multiple consecutive days up there and again we're just

00:11:33.440 about two hours uh from there it gets really cold up here southern alberta like medicine hat gas city

00:11:42.000 left bridge um you know it doesn't get as cold it can but it doesn't happen as often

00:11:50.040 um in as as prolonged right so i don't think in the lower 48 there are any places that are like

00:11:59.300 like the cold can be as prolonged and as harsh for as long you'd have to go to alaska for that probably

00:12:06.440 uh makes sense though all of the states are more south than we are we're in the north like our

00:12:13.420 whole country yeah so and then we're north in a northern country already so it's just

00:12:19.340 makes sense that it's so cold oh yeah and it already gets pretty damn cold in northern states i got

00:12:25.780 i got family in utah and i remember sending them because the other night must have been two weeks ago

00:12:33.020 i remember sending them a screenshot of our weather advisory and it said minus 42 celsius which is

00:12:40.400 still minus 42 fahrenheit i think minus 40 is where both uh weather weather scales like catch up like

00:12:48.980 they're the exact same minus 40 celsius is minus 40 fahrenheit yeah and i send this to my relatives

00:12:56.500 down there in utah they're in salt lake area and they're like i don't know how you do it yeah i

00:13:03.080 don't know i would never leave i don't know how you do it and utah is like it gets cold in utah yeah

00:13:08.140 they have winter there they have winter they get all four seasons in utah it's not like they live in

00:13:13.880 florida or texas or arizona you know and they're like i don't know how you guys do it i don't know how

00:13:20.060 you live up there i can't i can't do it yeah it's just and it was like that ranging from minus 30 to

00:13:28.520 minus 40 overnight for like two weeks it was miserable man and i remember having to get out

00:13:36.020 of the house get to work and it's like god damn man like this is rough like it's crappy makes me want

00:13:42.900 to freaking drive down to florida or texas or arizona or something might have to start doing

00:13:49.060 that for the winters i mean i'm a little young for snowboarding but might end up having to do it

00:13:54.980 man like we're not young put in some extra hours and save some money and tell my employer hey you

00:14:02.780 know i'm i'm signing off for the winter i'll uh i'll see you in a couple of months exactly

00:14:09.280 be like a bird and get the hell out of here yeah yeah kind of the goose head down yeah

00:14:18.220 it's beautiful here in the summer oh my gosh is it ever but yeah definitely with you on that

00:14:26.420 being born and raised in alberta as a kid i didn't notice it as much probably because you have no

00:14:32.580 perspective right and you don't travel to a bunch of different places or anything but it was normal for me

00:14:38.640 but then once you came here you were like what the hell is this freaking freezing yeah

00:14:46.380 although there was one winter where you were so acclimated that you wore a t-shirt in like a minus

00:14:53.740 30 and i'm like okay you're more albertan than me now because i i don't even go out in a t-shirt at

00:14:58.740 minus 30. when alberta adopted me it really kicked my ass um i was sick for like a week or two because

00:15:07.740 i literally came in the dead of winter i came here yeah from plus 30 to minus 30

00:15:15.000 and it was insane man i i remember just how shocking of a i mean i had obviously visited

00:15:24.700 similar weather because i lived in the united states for some time um but it nothing like alberta winter

00:15:33.800 it was just it was such a shock but a year or two later i love the province so much i you know i

00:15:41.640 even got used to the weather i started wearing super light hoodies and shirts and such and flip

00:15:49.300 flops flip flops in the winter and people are like what the hell is this guy doing that's how much i

00:15:55.100 liked it you know like i like my flip flops all right all right welcome to two hills population what

00:16:02.200 less than a thousand people 500 not sure you would know more than me i don't know quiet little town

00:16:09.140 um northeastern alberta the name probably from the fact that it's mostly flat out here but this area

00:16:17.180 has some hills and it's a little bit healy here nothing insane nothing like a rockies but it's not

00:16:24.060 as flat as uh further south from here bit of a change of scenery i like it quite little town

00:16:33.500 um hard working people mostly farmers a lot of mennonites out here a lot of uh

00:16:39.260 christian mennonites um is it amish too or just mennonites i think it's just mennonites because

00:16:45.980 the amish i don't think they drive vehicles and oh yeah the guys that are here they all drive i've

00:16:51.260 seen them and they use phones and such they just still obviously similar traditions and they speak

00:16:58.620 they speak lower german and they have an accent when they talk and they got a bunch of kids i i like big

00:17:05.100 family so it's just that's really what life is about that's the importance of life so yeah

00:17:13.980 this is two hills this will be the signing location

00:17:19.420 alberta flag there looking a little rough we might have to donate an alberta flag to the town here

00:17:35.900 it's two hills i'm assuming this is their downtown fairly quiet little town

00:17:41.100 and here you have the signing location right there find one near you and sign the petition

00:17:52.540 incidentally it's right in front of a member member of parliament's office

00:17:58.220 that's the member of parliament for my writing right there lake land and the signing location is

00:18:04.860 right up there i'm gonna go in there and see how those folks in there are doing let's go take a look

00:18:21.340 so any location

00:18:36.620 hello

00:18:40.060 how's it going my friend how you doing how's it going

00:18:43.580 strange i was wondering if i was gonna see some people that i know uh here in two hills

00:18:50.380 i don't live too far from here i live just in member county yeah just that yeah when you you said

00:18:56.700 like uh yes yeah just just east of vagarville yeah

00:19:10.700 yeah okay i'm out here with logan we're out in two hills uh outside of the location for the

00:19:19.100 independence petition uh logan has watched the channel before oh yeah so logan what brings you

00:19:26.140 out here why do you support alberta independence um it's basically because because i came from brazil

00:19:33.820 and i'm just seeing the same path that brazil went and i don't want to live in brazil again

00:19:40.780 so yeah so yeah they are they're following the same book and yeah i just want to be free like i i

00:19:50.060 decided to come to alberta because i knew that was the freest province and now that we have the

00:19:56.780 opportunity to be independent and build a new country that's the that's the dream right to to

00:20:04.860 set up the way that we we think it should be that how many people can say that right so that's the

00:20:12.860 main reason like and the rest of the reason that everybody it's all right taxes the economy freedom

00:20:20.060 and economy and yeah you saw the the the latest numbers everything went down on the job market

00:20:27.500 alberta 20 000 right yeah so overall we lost canada lost 20 22 000 and can in alberta 20. that's

00:20:37.420 the reason because we are freer than the other but we can be way better right exactly exactly what's

00:20:43.980 the number one thing that you believe an independent alberta can bring that canada no longer represents

00:20:51.980 is it freedom yeah yeah yeah yeah freedom because it it encloses everything right freedom you have the

00:21:00.700 freedom to to do what you want to not have to be over taxed for everything so if you have an idea you

00:21:08.460 don't have to think about like i i'm new here and i'm planning to to to start a farm but the first

00:21:15.020 thing that you see is texas so you have to work around texas to see if you are being profitable or

00:21:21.820 not so i think alberta would benefit to have this freedom in every aspect right all right i'm out here

00:21:29.340 with dan he's uh a viewer of the channel dan uh why do you support alberta independence what motivates you

00:21:36.940 to support the cause alberta independence uh is about freeing the people you know uh it's been way

00:21:46.380 too long since people actually can remember uh actually having a life you know you're taxed on

00:21:54.540 everything you own and everything that you do um you know man was not meant to spend his entire life

00:22:01.900 paying for the house that he has over his head or paying for the car that he drives

00:22:06.700 yep um people need a life and if we actually start lowering the taxes around here

00:22:16.540 then people might be able to have larger families what what does an independent alberta look like

00:22:23.260 to you like what does a nation a republic whatever you may call it look like to you what what freedoms do

00:22:31.340 you think that'll bring to albertans wow work towards a common goal uh we all want to have a a family

00:22:40.700 that's safe and we all want to have a a decent life um the problem is is right now uh the government's

00:22:50.300 got his nose in everything that we do very overreaching government right yeah well thank you for watching if you
