00:00:00.000 A referendum is one of the simplest and most direct expressions of the democratic will of the people.
00:00:09.000 Even the Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this point, and this cannot be ignored.
00:00:15.000 Albertans are law-abiding people. We do not rush change.
00:00:20.000 But when change becomes necessary, we meet it responsibly.
00:00:25.000 And we all know why this moment has arrived.
00:00:28.000 We see it in our daily lives, in rising costs, declining services, and growing distrust in institutions meant to serve the public.
00:00:39.000 Do you agree that the province of Alberta shall cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?
00:00:51.000 That question is directly out of the Clarity Act.
00:00:55.000 The word state does not mean 51st state. So that is what it is. It means that we will become an independent country on our own.
00:01:04.000 Monday night in Calgary. This is fantastic.
00:01:10.000 Over 150 of your fellow Albertans got their canvassing badges, went through the canvassing training, and made sure that nobody had to stand out in the cold for more than five or ten minutes.
00:01:23.000 So if you're tired of being dismissed, of being told to comply without question, tired of being silenced, this is your moment.
00:01:34.000 I am inviting all of you to make your voices heard clearly, confidently, and so that Ottawa hears it once and for all.
00:01:47.000 Thank you.
00:01:48.000 Thank you.
00:01:49.000 Thank you.
00:01:50.000 Thank you.
00:01:54.000 Thank you.
