00:00:29.840 of the city free independent in alberta and and harry how's it been going so far today oh it's been
00:00:35.960 amazing we've been putting in the work collecting signatures we're working tirelessly to free our
00:00:41.720 nation and become sovereign oh yeah and uh and you've been getting some a good amount today yes
00:00:47.520 yes absolutely good i've been getting people just driving here putting pulling their car right in
00:00:52.220 the driveway wanting to sign they're just done they're done with auto as a rule past 120 years
00:00:58.360 yeah perfect and uh trevor you were telling me that you guys have in addition to a few signatures
00:01:05.080 you guys have been unfortunately getting a few uh uh middle fingers and some uh unpleasant gestures
00:01:10.580 yep yeah for sure what would you say the ratio looks like today so far oh about half and a half
00:01:15.860 yeah hey okay that's not actually as bad as i thought it might be depends on how hard you push
00:01:22.320 people right so i suppose yeah do you get a little bit of uh some good uh some good honks of support as
00:01:28.840 well a few yeah could use a few more right just to keep the warmth in your belly right yeah yeah and
00:01:35.180 hadhi i'm i'm actually maybe fascinated a little bit with you because you you are a similar uh nationality
00:01:42.080 to me we're both uh lebanese by uh ancestry and this movement oftentimes gets painted as like uh
00:01:49.040 as a bad movement yeah like a racist or white national movement it is what it is we've seen
00:01:53.700 we've seen how governments and abroad like lebanon where you have 21 different political parties and
00:01:59.800 the corruption abroad here you have three different three and two main different political parties
00:02:05.160 but it's very easy to catch the corruption i mean come on people ottawa's robin us blind i mean
00:02:11.820 what do you guys want agenda 2030 yeah 15 minute cities yeah eating the bugs mark carney he's a
00:02:19.540 globalist he doesn't want the western albertans we need all to we're done ottawa got upon accordingly
00:02:25.420 that's it we're done yeah it is what it is and it's funny you say that too because the the amount of
00:02:30.620 immigrants that we see at these events who say the same thing who have seen the same corruption in
00:02:35.360 their countries and and the average canadian just hasn't seen it yet no and and the thing is with
00:02:39.820 the immigrants hey listen i'm an immigrant and i'm fine but the thing is it's it's everywhere
00:02:44.140 between bringing in immigrants and and invading a country with yeah you have danielle smith saying
00:02:50.480 she wants to bring another five million more immigrants and we're a population of 4.7 million
00:02:54.960 yeah you know something a picture speaks i used to like danielle smith but the thing is a picture
00:02:59.800 speaks that when she goes takes photo offs of mark carney that picture speaks a thousand words brother
00:03:05.460 i'm sick how you're doing this because i want freedom for my family i don't want to be
00:03:09.380 i don't want to go down what another 365 times four 1200 more days and what are we going to be in
00:03:17.420 communism yeah like by 2030 is just days away we can't do this anymore that's it so it's now or never
00:03:23.840 right yeah and and trevor what brings you what brings you personally out here today what what's
00:03:29.920 brought you to this movement maybe broader yeah i guess uh for me it was the election last election
