00:00:00.000 is it your impression that people feel um people in smaller communities do you feel like sometimes
00:00:07.160 like the world just kind of happens to you you know they feel like they're they're sort of
00:00:11.520 blown about as the as the globalists do or do they do people feel empowered in any sort of way
00:00:16.660 to affect some either some resistance or some influence on on these things i'm going to say
00:00:22.380 i'm going to sit on the fence it's both one thing i know about my mindset is being a rancher
00:00:28.500 your whole mindset is to plant your seeds and then you wait for it to rain and there's nothing you can
00:00:36.860 do to change the weather no carbon tax is going to make it rain in so many rural people the the the
00:00:44.140 mindset the way we've been raised the way we've lived for our entire lives is you do the work and
00:00:49.800 you wait yeah very much that stoic mindset about like control the things within your control
00:00:55.700 and you if you can't control it then you
00:00:58.500 you can't put that emotion into it because that's not something you can you can change so
00:01:03.500 if the movement is a little bit stoic at times like if there's a balance between

00:01:18.740 clear head and that calm grounded uh sense of stoicism i feel like that might help as well
00:01:26.740 the one thing that's coming to my mind here is the change has to start right here in our hearts
00:01:33.200 and it sounds kind of hokey but no matter what happens in the future if you become a better man
00:01:40.080 or woman through this fight for independence you've won and if there's a million people who become 0.98
00:01:48.360 better people because of this fight for independence we will win that bigger battle
00:01:53.300 but if we focus on the externals if we focus on the big picture instead of doing what's necessary
00:01:59.300 for us to improve our lives right here in our homes and in our local communities
00:02:03.620 if we can do that we will change the world
00:02:06.800 and we don't know how this story is going to end that's the most exciting part about this
00:02:13.020 we are in about chapter three in the story of alberta
00:02:17.120 and it's the action of myself and you two and two million of my closest friends
00:02:22.520 they're going to finish writing this chapter so we can go on to a new one
00:02:26.620 right the future has not been written and i find that very exciting
00:02:43.020 you
