00:00:55.500All right. Looks like you guys can hear me okay. Perfect. Perfect. All right. Okay. Well, before we go ahead and get into the good news of today that I'm sure many of you guys who keep up with the Alberta independence movement are probably aware of at this time, the fact that Alberta independence is finally moving forward after a bunch of a whole lot of BS delays and stuff like that.
00:01:23.400But before we get into that, let's check where you guys are watching from.
00:01:32.840Where are you guys watching from? Where's everybody watching from?
00:01:36.980I want to shout you guys out. Where are you all watching from?
00:01:41.320Hey, Lori Patterson, shout out to you.
00:04:12.520for once i got some good news i'm excited about this um you know all those those of you who've
00:04:21.260kept up with this channel you guys know that the main theme the reason why this channel was started
00:04:27.020was as a way of supporting the alberta independence movement giving a voice to that movement which
00:04:34.660needed as many voices as possible trying to spread the word and the fact that alberta patriots
00:04:42.200particularly after the last election, where we realized that our vote doesn't mean anything.
00:04:48.640We actually confirmed it because many Albertans already knew.
00:04:52.380In Alberta, we have a saying, which is, you know, the election is decided right at the border or before it hits the Manitoba border.
00:05:00.980So basically meaning that it's Quebec and Ontario who elect our leaders for us.
00:05:08.540We don't really we voted 95 percent conservative. Same in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan and Alberta both voted over 90 percent conservative.
00:05:18.860I think it was like two liberals out of like 35 seats in Alberta and in Saskatchewan, just one out of, I think, 20 something.
00:05:28.120So, yeah, so, you know, trying to give a voice to this movement, which is the hope, the very last hope of many Westerners, many not only Albertans, but Westerners, people in Saskatchewan, people in northern British Columbia, people in rural Manitoba, people in the in the north, the Yukon.
00:05:48.660You got people who support Wexit. And Alberta is that bastion of hope for Canada, because you better believe that the people at the top, the liberals, they are trying to make Canada, every single part of Canada, the same as the east of Canada, where you have uncontrolled immigration, where you have people who can't afford a house.
00:06:13.500You have people needing the government for a handout, food banks overwhelmed, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:06:20.540But anyways, I have some great news here for you guys today.
00:06:30.980Those of you who follow the Alberta independence movement, you'll know that Keith Wilson is an important part in this movement.
00:06:37.600He's a lawyer, constitutional lawyer, that is.
00:06:40.380And he broke the news. He basically breaking the Alberta government has announced amendments to the Citizens Initiative Act, Bill 14, reaffirming citizens rights to trigger an independence referendum.
00:06:57.460This immediately ends the court challenge that was seeking to block the Alberta Prosperity Project's petition question and restores the democratic intent of letting Albertans decide their own future.
00:07:10.760A great day for Alberta independence movement.
00:07:13.180Now we can focus on completing the petition process leading to a 2026 provincial independence vote.
00:07:20.900I'm going to I'm going to clap myself here.
00:07:59.580It basically made independents be killed at the courts.
00:08:07.560Like the APP has been waiting three to four months
00:08:10.780for us to finally begin collecting signatures
00:08:13.840And we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
00:08:17.300We can finally see the ending of this bureaucratic BS that we've been dealing with, with the Alberta Prosperity Project having to deal with judges and arguing why this question is constitutional or not, when we all know it is constitutional.
00:08:42.320thank you so much for the super shot man i appreciate it thank you for the super chat
00:08:47.720alberta independence let's freaking go laurie oh you're laurie's has
00:08:52.860awesome man you guys are awesome you guys are you guys are great thank you guys so much
00:08:58.880i really appreciate your support all right so yeah so we got got this news and i had to i had
00:09:07.960I had to jump on. I'm really tired from work, but I was like, man, I have to jump on a live, even if it's for half hour. I have to share this with my audience, you guys that are invested in this process, in this democratic, historic process.
00:09:24.940And even though this is a huge victory, you know, you know that the left is going to be doing all kinds of things to stifle and hinder this movement.
00:09:38.420But we can now finally, finally begin to actually do the work.
00:09:44.680We can get out there and talk to more people.
00:09:47.480You better believe that the Alberta Prosperity Project is going to be doubling down on the education campaign.
00:09:53.520They've already hit pretty much most of the small towns in Alberta,
00:09:59.120so they're probably going to go twice as hard now.
00:10:02.840And I'll try to attend some of those town halls and live stream if I can.
00:10:08.480It's really difficult sometimes because the Internet in those really small towns,
00:10:12.820really rural small towns, it's really bad.
00:10:17.400Sometimes they have Wi-Fi, sometimes they don't.
00:10:19.580But if I can't live stream, then I will record it.
00:10:23.300and i will post it on the channel so yeah amazing news keith wilson broke it and then
00:10:32.620here because the left is already going you guys know that the left is going to be arguing
00:10:37.940oh you know um why is it that they're going to be passing this law this bill 14 why don't you
00:10:44.740let the courts do what they're going to do and whatever that's what the left is going to say
00:10:50.200You better believe it. And Keith Wilson got way ahead of them. He's already explaining that Canada is a parliamentary democracy and parliament, or in this case, legislature, the Alberta legislature reigns supreme over the courts because it's elected officials.
00:11:08.080Those court judges, a lot of them are appointed by liberals.
00:11:33.220Canada is a parliamentary democracy, which means our legislatures are supreme. In this system, if MLA's members of the legislative assembly believe a court has misinterpreted the intent of the law or if a law is being abused for political purposes, the legislature has both the authority and the responsibility to amend that law, which is basically what's happening here.
00:11:55.540You had the courts directed by an elections director, pun intended, being extra, being bureaucratic and wanting to delay the independence process.
00:12:10.720We've Mitch Sylvester, the CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, deposited the application to start collecting signatures back in July.
00:12:20.620I believe it was exactly on July the 4th that he deposited the petition application with Elections Alberta, and we just had a court date.
00:12:32.640The Alberta Prosperity Project just went to court like a week or two ago before the UCP AGM took place.
00:12:39.600So they've been sitting on the application for the referenda. They've been sitting on it for three plus months, just delaying and delaying. And this finally puts an end to that.
00:12:55.340And later we're going to talk about why I believe this happened and why the timing of it. But let's continue reading the tweet.
00:13:01.980Thankfully, this is exactly what the Smith government has done today with Bill 14.
00:13:06.760The amendment makes it clear that it was never the intent for a proposed Citizens Initiative Act question to become bogged down in the courts, nor was it ever intended that the power to approve and hold referendums be shifted from the government to the judiciary.
00:13:21.600Exactly. It shouldn't be a judge, an unelected judge deciding the future for free people.
00:13:31.900It should be elected officials, elected by the people.
00:13:36.400With Bill 14, Alberta's democratic process is strengthened, ensuring that decision-making authority remains where it has always belonged, in the hands of the elected legislature.
00:13:48.100Correct. This is very good. Very good news. Democracy just became stronger in Alberta, in a country, Canada, where democracy is getting worse and worse every single passing day.
00:14:02.540I am still kind of angry with the government for allowing what's happening to the pastors.
00:14:07.300I don't know if you guys watched my previous video talking about what's happening to Christianity here in Canada and what happened to a pastor in Calgary today, a pastor who refused to apologize to a woke trans activist was arrested because the court, go figure, a judge in the court, an activist judge imposed a some sort of condition where he had to officially write an apology saying he was wrong.
00:14:36.240when the way he spoke was basically preaching his beliefs the bible is against transgenderism
00:14:44.400and that in that stuff so he's not going to apologize you know asking him to apologize is
00:14:49.940to go against what he believes is true and and his religion what's in the bible right so
00:14:55.480yeah the fact that a pastor got arrested i am not impressed with that but i am going to take the w
00:15:03.040you i am going to take this win and i am going to run with it for now and um and so i want to okay
00:15:12.860there's a there's a super chat here from sandeep sandeep suwanand official man i cannot pronounce
00:15:21.140your name sorry if i mispronounced it there i have an arpa alberta needs to unban handguns i
00:15:27.980100% agree. 100% agree. Particularly for people like yourself, man, who have an ARPAL.
00:15:35.680If you have an ARPAL, for those of you south of the border or those of you who don't know about
00:15:39.720the gun world, an ARPAL is a restricted possession and acquisitions license. So there's two
00:15:45.060levels. There's two levels when you go and get your license as a licensed gun owner myself.
00:15:51.500So there's two levels. You have the PAL, which is your regular possession and acquisitions license.
00:15:55.760You have to take a course. You sit for a whole day with an instructor, oftentimes retired military, who teaches you the basics of a gun, a rifle, and so on.
00:16:07.560For a PAL, you basically are allowed to have shotguns and rifles and things like that, mostly the boring guns, but the guns that you really use for hunting mostly.
00:16:17.660And then with an RPAL, which is restricted, it gives you access to the restricted weapons still, excuse me, still with limitations, obviously, because it's Canada, there's going to be limitations, right? But it gives you access to handguns and stuff like that for sports shooting, and so on and so forth.
00:16:34.560yeah they they canada should uh but it's not going to happen under a liberal government my friend
00:16:40.580it is not going to happen under the liberals we can only dream um we did take a bit of a w we did
00:16:47.600take a little bit of a win this week in alberta i don't know if you heard but danielle smith i
00:16:52.400don't know if it was because of the pressure and her realizing and we'll we'll get to that
00:16:56.680we'll get to that that's coming that's coming down the pipe but it might have been due to
00:17:00.640pressure her realizing that she has been playing the middle and she needs to become more actually
00:17:06.520show that she's conservative and she announced that she won't be implementing any sort of
00:17:11.200gun confiscations like she will not be enforcing anything coming from ottawa as far as guns go
00:17:20.780if you're if you're a law-abiding citizen who happens to have a weapon and you use it in
00:17:27.460self-defense she basically told criminals not to break into people's homes if they don't want to
00:17:32.600be hurt right so that that at least is i would call it a partial win i really do hope that
00:17:39.520one day i mean in an independent alberta that would absolutely happen in an independent republic
00:17:45.680of alberta we would have something more like a second amendment which would be great
00:17:51.500but anyways i've been telling you guys and teasing you about why i think this good news happened
00:18:00.360and i can't emphasize enough that this is my opinion you come here for my opinion obviously
00:18:07.820my opinion is informed i try to stay as informed as possible when it comes to alberta independence
00:18:13.500but it is an opinion nonetheless i don't know everything i am not on every single you know
00:18:19.720every single group that has different sources of information. But I believe this is a direct
00:18:26.360result. The fact that Danielle Smith is acting more conservative and governing for her base,
00:18:32.400and that it's happening so quickly that what she said about the guns, which I just talked about,
00:18:37.380and now this, this huge win for the Alberta independence movement. I believe this is all
00:18:42.560from the pressure the ucp agm saw 80 percent of the delegates sitting i think it was the friday
00:18:51.780of that weekend the friday of that weekend when jeffrey rath got up to the podium or got up to
00:18:58.760the mic and he said how many of you support an independent alberta and the room erupted i made
00:19:07.300a video about this those of you haven't watched that you can go a few days back and you'll see it
00:19:11.080the rumor erupted. That was incredibly significant for obvious reasons. This tells
00:19:18.900the leadership of the party that just because they tried to censor the discussion doesn't mean
00:19:27.140that the movement is going to go away. I was one who criticized the premier for saying,
00:19:32.780independence is not going to be a discussion at the annual general meeting. I criticized her for
00:19:39.880that. And I don't regret it because when a politician is not doing the right thing,
00:19:45.920you should criticize them. You should hold them to account. You cannot, obviously you need to
00:19:51.060cut them some slack, right? You need to give them some room. And I have done that. When Danielle
00:19:56.680Smith does something positive, I have over a hundred videos talking positively about her
00:20:01.720for the things that she does that are positive. But when they do something that is not good,
00:20:07.860You need to criticize them. You need to hold them to account. You need to remind them that you are their voter base. You put them in power. Public servants are exactly that. They're public servants. We are the public. They're supposed to serve us. We don't serve them.
00:20:24.080we're not here to bootlick we're not here to kiss her butt all right we're here to remind her to
00:20:29.680stay the course obviously we need to support her when she does the right thing and for this
00:20:35.240i give her huge credit huge credit but i don't believe she just did it out of her own
00:20:42.800volusion i think she realized holy crap i need to pick a side here and that is what's been
00:20:48.860happening in alberta for those of you outside of alberta or that may not keep up with this
00:20:53.840there's been a lot of pressure on danielle smith and the ucp to pick a side now that they know for
00:21:01.700a fact that their party is majority supportive of independence so the way alberta is looking
00:21:08.760right now we have a third 33 to 40 percent who support alberta either leaving or moving towards
00:21:16.720leaving between 35 and 40 percent even the mainstream media had it at 36 37 percent more
00:21:23.440conservative um polls had it at in the low 40s to mid 40s between 42 and 45 that is close to 50 but
00:21:33.180not quite there then we have a third that are never going to support independence these are
00:21:39.820people who live off of government these are people who love the status quo these are people who are
00:21:45.180woke, and they believe that we're Nazis for wanting our province to separate and become
00:21:50.300independent. NDP operatives, NDP supporters, those are people that are never going to vote
00:21:57.260for independence. The NDPs, the woke crazies in Alberta, the super liberal people. And then you
00:22:04.300have the third in the middle. I believe it was Keith Wilson, the lawyer who said this. And that's
00:22:10.800the third that we need to try our best to educate and convince and bring on to the independence
00:22:16.240fold all we need my opinion is 50 plus one if we get 50 plus the one obviously we want to make it
00:22:24.600as decisive as possible we don't want to leave any room for them to oh maybe not maybe they did
00:22:31.240a lot of shenanigans in quebec and quebec came like 49.5 percent for independence versus i think
00:22:38.82050.5 for staying and the party quebecois the people who were leading the independence movement
00:22:46.400in quebec were saying that there were so many psyops and so much government interference in
00:22:52.960that so you have to make it as big as possible we got to make it too big to rig like president
00:22:58.220trump says we got to make it too big to rig so with that in mind we need to educate that second
00:23:06.140third in the middle the people who are undecided the people who are not sure the people who maybe
00:23:11.240never heard about the fact that alberta could become an independent country and would be much
00:23:16.200better off than staying in the sinking ship that is today's canada we need to talk to those people
00:23:21.680and we need to reach them and today today marks a huge huge event where we can now get motivated
00:23:31.040those of us who support independence, and go and talk to those people.
00:23:57.500You got to work hard to make the money.
00:24:01.040They're very pro-freedom. Right. So. So we need to talk to those people when you're when you're at work, when you're at the gym, family dinners.
00:24:12.760Talk to those people. Let's talk to them. Let's let them know. Let's hit them with facts because we the facts are on our side.
00:24:18.620The other side has corruption, bribes and nostalgia. That's all they got. Corruption, bribes and nostalgia.
00:24:26.300you. All they can say is, oh, but Canada, remember how Canada used to be? It used to be so great.
00:24:32.200Yeah, but that's not it today. Bribes, you know, paying Quebec to stay, paying Ontario and so on
00:24:38.880with equalization with Alberta's money. And then a lot of corruption. They don't have the facts.
00:24:44.260That's why whenever you say to somebody, hey, I think Alberta would be better off independent.
00:24:48.860Here's why. Because we produce, we give to Canada more than we receive back from Canada. Because
00:24:56.000our province is already landlocked and Canada doesn't benefit us. Actually, it blocks us at
00:25:02.480every single turn. We hit them with facts. They go like, oh, yeah, you should just move to the U.S.
00:25:07.820You should just move south. No, we want to take our province with us and become independent.
00:25:15.100Or they go like, oh, you're just a racist, which how does that make any sense? I'm a racist because
00:25:20.880I want independence for Alberta or you're a Nazi and so on and so forth.
00:25:27.900But anyways, I believe because I went on a long tangent there, ranted for a bit.
00:25:34.300I believe she felt the pressure and because of that pressure, she's governing for her base now, which is good.
00:25:44.700This is a tweet from Jeffrey, from Jeffrey Rath, one of the co-founders of the Alberta Prosperity Project.
00:25:49.980earlier today. He, excuse me, retweeted Mr. Shon Shon Baby. Apparently there was an article for
00:26:02.560CBC in French, French CBC, and the title went, Danielle Smith will campaign against Alberta
00:26:09.100sovereignty in the event of a referendum. Now, there's been a correction to this, and we'll talk
00:26:14.260about it in a second but that was what the news was about six seven hours ago in the afternoon
00:26:21.420today um that danielle smith declared that she would be working against alberta independence
00:26:29.200when i read that i read it quickly and i was like oh boy here we go i knew she was a federal
00:26:35.400i was already going like i knew it i knew it i knew she was because i've been dude i've been
00:26:40.680criticizing her and i like i said i make no i'm not apologizing for criticizing her when she does
00:26:46.860the wrong thing when she does the right thing i'll be the first one to clap i'll be the first
00:26:51.760one to give her credit and i will cut her some slack but when she clearly is messing up i am
00:26:58.860going to criticize her i am i'm not going to apologize for that um yeah apparently there was
00:27:06.920some situation here where they interpreted that she said she would campaign against alberta
00:27:11.380independence and jeffrey rath who's been roasting her for months now said shocking alberta daniel
00:27:18.780smith i mean shocking daniel smith lied to her supporters again and that was earlier this
00:27:26.440afternoon but a correction came out from cbc themselves the ones who put out their article
00:27:33.980Apparently, according to Jason Levine, who is a journalist, an independent journalist here in Alberta, who has been covering covering the independence movement for a while now, he goes exclusive update on the CBC story about Premier Daniel Smith and an independence referendum.
00:27:50.660Earlier this week, CBC Radio Canada published a headline stating that Premier Daniel Smith, quote, will campaign against Alberta sovereignty in the event of a referendum.
00:28:02.820That headline has since been has since been revised and the article has been corrected.
00:28:10.580Radio Canada added the following correction notice.
00:28:14.180correction quote on december 4th 2025 so that would have been today we amended this article
00:28:20.820to indicate that the premier reaffirmed her support for alberta's sovereignty within a
00:28:27.020united canada without explicitly stating which side she would take and here's where where i give
00:28:34.940her credit she has left the door open she has said multiple times and reiterated it at the agm
00:28:42.580this past weekend. She said, my mind, my mandate as of this time, as of right now is to try to
00:28:49.700make Alberta sovereign within a United Canada. However, if my mind, if my mandate, man, I can't
00:28:56.100pronounce that word, my mandate, if my mind, if her mandate changes, then she will work from there.
00:29:05.240She'll take it from there. I don't think she's ever gone as far. Correct me if I'm wrong. Any
00:29:09.280of you guys, if she has gone as far as saying whether she would fully support an independence
00:29:17.400referendum, whether she would fully support independence in the event of a winning referendum.
00:29:24.180I don't think she's ever gone that far. I think she kind of dances around that question. She goes
00:29:28.180like, well, my goal is to remind Albertans that Canada does work, that we're better together,
00:29:34.120and so on and so forth but uh she's never gone and said yeah if a referendum passes then i
00:29:40.840absolutely but if a referendum passes i am confident she's gonna have to or step down
00:29:47.120she would either have to jump on board or step down this will be huge news
00:29:52.900the quebec independence movement made international news alberta will make even
00:29:59.040bigger news because alberta's not bluffing albertans are not bluffing when albertans are like
00:30:05.760we want out of here we mean it we want our independence we're not trying to get concessions
00:30:11.440here if they give them we'll take them it's only fair alberta has been mistreated for decades and
00:30:17.880decades those of you who've lived longer than me will remember what happened with trudeau senior
00:30:22.920in the 70s and 80s in the national energy program, right?
00:30:56.780After seeing the original headline, I contacted, that's Jason speaking, he contacted the Premier's office for clarification.
00:31:04.880Sam Blackett, press secretary to the Premier, provided the following statement.
00:31:09.760The Premier did not state she would actively campaign for the no side in a potential referendum on Alberta independence.
00:31:16.060The premier was simply reiterating her support for Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada and that she believes Canada can work given the recent success of the Alberta Ottawa Energy Agreement.
00:31:29.080I don't know how much of a success that was. We agreed to a carbon tax.
00:34:13.420They just recently said that they would lower immigration, the people of Quebec.
00:34:17.960I would love to see Daniel Smith at a press conference saying,
00:34:21.800we are not going to be taking any more immigrants sent from Ottawa.
00:34:24.500Anyone who does not contribute to this province can't come to Alberta. I would love to hear Daniel Smith say that, particularly when we have a crisis where our youth, young people cannot find work in their own towns, in their own cities, particularly when our food banks are overwhelmed with the demand.
00:34:47.980so make it make an announcement just like quebec did that you're not going to be taking in
00:34:55.220immigrants that do not contribute that you're not going to be taking in immigrants that
00:35:00.460do not bring something to the table that don't speak the language properly
00:35:05.380do it lady do it you know get our own police alberta police force come on get the sheriffs
00:35:12.620but anyway here this is what i this is what i think did it this right here this is the moment
00:35:21.680that i believe has led to this quick change from excuse me from the premier to actually govern
00:35:31.120for her base this was during the ucpa gm this past weekend when um jeffrey rath went up to
00:35:40.360mic let's have a quick listen to that put the volume up uh there we go hello my name is jeffrey
00:35:57.480after that so-called mou was signed yesterday the ink wasn't dry on the paper and mark carney
00:36:04.440went out and gleefully announced a 600 percent increase to the industrial carbon tax in alberta
00:36:13.960now my question for the room is how many of all of us
00:36:18.440favor a free and independent alberta room goes crazy
00:36:34.440the room went crazy and they're still clapping
00:36:40.920look at that they clapped for like five minutes straight or something
00:36:49.800so that was the loudest message you can send to a politician danielle smith was sitting
00:36:57.560right over here somewhere she was sitting she was actually the moderator at that time
00:37:03.420and she heard it she also got booed right after she said i support an independent alberta but
00:37:11.040within canada she got booed brutally booed it was obvious because sometimes the boos are mixed or
00:37:16.880they're drowned out by cheers no no no no this was obvious obvious she was being booed brutally
00:37:25.220and uh the message was clear like she risked dividing the party and we don't need that i
00:37:34.280really do not want to see the crazies in the ndp govern this this province ever again ever again
00:37:41.700i don't want to see that and people say well they'll kill the independence movement they'll try
00:37:46.760to kill the independence movement um i don't want to see that happen uh i don't want to see the ndp
00:37:53.000power ever again but i don't know that anyone can just kill this movement all right and uh the more
00:37:59.700they try to kill it like we found out this past week the more they try to suppress it censor it
00:38:04.760the more it grows the more albertans dig in their heels and say okay let's do this now i want
00:38:12.760independence and then they go and convince their fellow albertans to be pro-independence because
00:38:19.440of the censorship because of the fact that they're not giving us a fair shot at it so i don't know
00:38:26.200that even if the ndp won which i don't want it to happen vote uzp vote conservative all right
00:38:32.100don't vote ndp i don't know that naheed nenshi that fat pos would do anything i don't i don't
00:38:40.020think i think he'd actually probably angers us anger us even more and we would probably
00:38:45.360work even harder he'll try to do everything but at some point the people would probably just get
00:38:50.860angrier and angrier but anyways um i think this was the moment i think this is when
00:38:58.760we reminded the premier that she works for us albertans who put her in power that she needs
00:39:07.660to govern for her people not to try to convince people who are never going to vote for her
00:39:13.580The NDP, the leftists are never going to vote for you, ma'am.
00:39:17.080So why are you trying to govern for them?
00:48:04.640That's all the NDP voters and the woke and the crazies that have moved to Alberta and some crazies that are from Alberta, particularly in Edmonton, right, that are super leftist, super socialist.
00:48:15.320And then we have the middle ground, that 20, 25, maybe 30 percent in the middle who are undecided, who are open to be convinced.
