00:00:00.000 Today in the news, the premiers all get together and Eby says, this amounts to treason.
00:00:07.680 I hate to pull the word out.
00:00:09.480 You certainly had it pretty quickly on hand.
00:00:12.100 This is treasonous.
00:00:13.740 That's the first part of my question.
00:00:16.040 How do you feel about that comment?
00:00:17.900 Okay, what's the definition of treason?
00:00:21.300 Defying the laws of a country?
00:00:23.460 It means overthrowing the government.
00:00:24.760 Overthrowing the government in an area?
00:00:26.400 The Bertens have not done that.
00:00:27.740 They are exercising the law.
00:00:31.320 The law says, according to the Clarity Act, you can have a referendum on independence.
00:00:37.120 We are not overthrowing the government.
00:00:39.620 In fact, I believe, in my opinion, E.B. is treasonous because of his support by the Chinese Communist Party,
00:00:48.800 not allowing our resources to be developed.
00:00:51.360 Now, to me, that's treasonous because you're not acting on the best of the interest of your citizens, of the B.C. residents.
00:01:01.840 We are exercising what, by law, we can do.
00:01:07.860 We are not overthrowing the government.
00:01:09.700 We're changing to what we feel is our right, and that's exercising the right to a referendum.
00:01:17.900 and there are laws how you can get to the referendum and the law says you need 177,000 signatures
00:01:25.920 and that's what we're doing.
