00:07:58.600We have the ability to empower our conventional government to be able to, for the first time in history, negotiate a new sovereign Alberta from a position of security.

00:12:21.620Towards Lloyd Mincy. Yeah, towards the Saskatchewan border. Way out there.
00:12:27.320It's the first time coming in, I wouldn't have drank you with the traffic.
00:40:09.860we have the ability folks to ensure our sovereignty we have the ability to get away
00:40:17.560from taxation from scandals we have the ability to get away from provinces that say our oil and
00:40:23.520gas is filthy and unacceptable we have the ability to open up partnerships with the rest of the world
00:40:33.340where our government ignores us and says that they don't need to do work with alberta and they don't
00:40:37.880need to bring investment in. And I don't know about you folks, but I am sick and tired of
00:40:42.340giving 50% of what I earn to a bunch of crooks in Ottawa to jet set around the world.
00:40:51.140And to tell me that what I do for a living is dirty and unacceptable.
00:40:59.380As I look at this sea of flags and this sea of blue and all of these Alberta patriots
00:41:03.760standing before me today, I can tell you one thing, ladies and gentlemen.
00:41:07.880We are Alberta. We will be free. We will be prosperous. We will not go quietly into the night, ladies and gentlemen. Today is the start of us getting our independence.
00:49:32.920And what we need is to get Ottawa's knee off our neck
00:49:38.040so that we can achieve that potential,
00:49:40.720that we can deliver the prosperity, that we can give our children tremendous opportunity to live a free, happy and prosperous life.
00:49:52.060And you know what, folks? We are in a unique time.
00:49:56.580We are in a yeet time in that no other parliamentary democracy in the world has laid out a legal pathway for a province or a state to legally leave.
00:50:15.820And as you know, that process involves a referendum.
00:50:21.820If the majority of the voters in a province vote in a referendum on a clear question, to leave and become an independent country, then the process for that province to leave and become a sovereign country begins.
00:50:36.600so before us is the opportunity to fight for our kids to work towards getting the votes we're going
00:50:52.280to need in this referendum to me that is the most critical thing now i know many of you are
00:50:58.280concerned about this court case that's going on or maybe fabio lukasic's nothing burger petition
00:51:35.100that no matter what happens in that process and this is critically important that next year
00:51:42.940whether it's in the spring or the fall there will be a province-wide referendum
00:51:48.300but we cannot for the sake of our children underestimate the magnitude of that challenge
00:52:05.040we have to get like 1.8 million albertans to vote yes that means that means every single one of you
00:52:16.160is now charged with a mission and that mission is to talk to your friends talk to your colleagues at
00:52:24.480work the guys on your shift the people in your baseball team or your hockey league everybody
00:52:32.640that you encounter to have the awkward discussions to get them to understand the opportunity that's
00:52:39.780before us the opportunity that how they will benefit how their family will benefit how their
00:52:45.640community will benefit how their kids will benefit by voting yes that is the imperative that we all
00:52:52.500have we can do it you must do it are we going to fight for our kids
00:53:02.640We can't delay. It's game time. When you leave here, make sure that you commit yourself to all of the good points as to why it makes sense to do this.
00:53:18.420And you know, people will be afraid. People will be afraid about this idea of becoming an independent country. But what's more scary, any uncertainty associated with that, or the certainty of the dystopian, impoverished nightmare that lies before us under the crazy, carny Liberals from Ottawa.
00:53:40.180we can't delay we can't slow down this is our moment this is our future for our families
00:53:54.460for our children for Alberta Alberta will be free
01:12:22.900I went to the Prairie Rising conference last week in Regina
01:12:26.900and there was a gentleman there by the name of Jim Sinclair.
01:12:30.900And Jim St. Clair was a veteran, and he spoke to the people, and he said at the conference, and he said, you know, what currency are we prepared to pay to keep our freedom?
01:12:48.160because he had just explained that he had he had a picture of himself on the
01:12:54.560Trombotron and it showed him in his paraphernalia on top of a roof a roof of
01:13:00.820a school somewhere in the Middle East where the Taliban had gone in and killed
01:13:08.200all the girls in an all-girls school and they had cut all the girls up and put
01:13:15.260them in the sewer in the basement and they went in there and they killed these people that killed
01:13:20.920these girls and his next question was to the room what currency do you want to pay for your freedom
01:13:34.660we have paid in blood what i'm asking you as a people and my group is if i call you
01:13:47.720to come to the next event will you pay in time
01:13:51.880i mean no hockey no excuses i want 10 days a year from you if you give me 10 days and everybody in
01:14:07.140the alberta prosperity project that has signed the intent to vote for us gives us 10 days we
01:14:13.720can win this whole thing in a very quick amount of time so this today thank you very much to all of
01:14:24.780you has been a very huge success and I'm very proud to help organize this and I'm very proud
01:14:29.740of all of our people here with APP that did all the work to organize this as well so thank you
01:14:34.960very much. So just in saying, I've got a little thing, Kearney's got the elbows up thing going.
01:14:49.140You know, it's kind of a hockey thing, right? I'm a hockey player. I'm going to tell you a little
01:14:54.100thing about hockey players. There's a challenge that goes on. I don't know if you're aware of it,
01:14:59.560but i'm aware of it sometimes guys will sidle up to you and say come on let's go
01:15:06.020do you want to go at that moment you either do or you don't and if you don't that guy probably
01:15:17.740owns you and you're a little intimidated and then once you get intimidated it stops everything from
01:15:23.560working so here's what i'm going to ask you let's change that up because the answer to come on let's
01:15:31.080go is let's go so i'm going to ask you as a group you know there's a double meaning there come on
01:15:44.360let's go so that's going to be the battle cry for our movement how about that
01:15:53.560I'm going to ask you a question and then you can tell me if you want to go or not.
01:15:59.260Is the federal government stealing from us?
01:17:51.120Now Chris Scott was talking earlier about things that are available on the Alberta Prosperity website.
01:17:58.120I'd like everybody that hasn't done it already, when they go home tonight,
01:18:03.120I'd like you all to download a copy of a document on that website called The Value of Freedom.
01:18:10.120That document, I heard one of our hecklers out in the audience saying, where's the budget?
01:18:16.120Well that's the budget people. We send 70 billion dollars a year to Ottawa in tax revenue, in GST, capital gains tax, carbon tax, industrial carbon tax.
01:18:32.120all of the bullshit taxes and all of our levies on us to take our wealth to fund social services in Quebec and the Maritimes.
01:19:25.680It's time to end the tyranny of Ottawa,
01:19:28.500and keep our money at home to take care of our families, fund Alberta education, fund our hospitals, fund our doctors, fund our indigenous people, and take care of Albertans.
01:19:44.720That document makes it clear that we can easily afford every single service provided to us by the federal government in a haphazard fashion.
01:19:55.360Like, who anymore believes that the federal government actually provides a national defense?
01:20:03.360We have more people here on this square today, and I would wager we have more firearms between the bunch of us than we have in the entire Canadian army.
01:20:21.000Every time you turn around, Mark Carney, who I believe is an existential threat to the province of Alberta, when he said, elbows up, what people didn't understand was, elbows up, we'll elbow Alberta in the head again, because that's all he's been doing.
01:20:40.700They haven't announced an end to any of the legislation that Daniel Smith said was a deal breaker.
01:20:46.780When that issue comes up, you get some sort of mealy-mouthed statement from either Carney or one of his ministers.
01:20:54.060Oh, well, we're working to make Alberta or Canada an energy superpower.
01:20:58.880Oh, we'll go get this done. Oh, yeah, blah, blah, right?
01:30:18.720And as you head out today, first off, be safe. Driving home. If you see any garbage sitting around you, pick it up. Let's leave this place spick and span. The independence movement doesn't leave a mess. And we're going to do another one of these. Let's do another. We've got to do another one. We're going to bring out five times as many people.
01:30:38.840It's been an honor to be here today, be safe, and I can hardly wait to vote for independence.
01:45:05.440There's got to be a way to talk to God.
01:45:09.440Well, it's just because I have only on the same social system, like, it wasn't that declassive, like, no, it wasn't a change, like, twice, and also when I went to, like, taxes, there was a bit of a report to, like, seven days ago, like, from the LA and the military, it was just, like, kind of, like, constantly, like, here, it was, like, kidding me, and then it was just, like,
01:45:38.260Yeah, well, welcome to Alberta, you know, I mean, we're happy you're here.
01:45:51.700Yeah, happy that you're in the province, that's for sure.
01:45:53.940Like, we need more people that are coming in.
01:45:55.620The fact that you're here tells me everything that you're here supporting.
01:45:58.740Yeah, I wanted to be here because I felt like it was developed for me.
01:46:02.900I'm not going to let you guys understand how it is.
01:46:05.620Common sense, Alberta's common sense land.
