00:14:21.000
hello everyone wow there's a good echo we're going to get started here in a few minutes
00:14:33.140
so we thank you guys all for your patience we're glad to see everyone and we'll get
00:19:21.000
Hello everyone so we still have some people coming in so if there's some
00:19:30.480
spots beside you try and shove in as much as you can we do have some extra
00:23:51.000
Alright, so if everyone wants to grab a seat and get ready, we're going to get this show on the road.
00:25:51.000
all right everyone the time is here so just to let everyone know we've got a
00:26:02.500
few people that are gonna talk before Derek and one of the people has become
00:26:09.400
a good friend and it's an honor for me to introduce mr. Rob Anders former
00:26:33.880
Hopefully I don't cause too much feedback here tonight.
00:26:37.640
Well, my guess is the reason you are here is the same reason that I'm here, which is
00:26:55.780
let me talk about some of the things that frustrate me
00:27:00.580
we have pastors that are being jailed fined harassed
00:27:09.300
i know art and david polowski i consider them friends of mine and the idea that those guys
00:27:16.100
were dragged into jail okay that they are being dragged before the courts
00:27:22.340
continually it's a political witch hunt my friends then we have pastors Tim
00:27:29.120
Stevens in this province with $200,000 worth of fines weighing down upon him
00:27:39.640
imagine how stifling that is for just about anybody that we have pastor
00:27:45.100
Coates and the Grace Life Baptist Church that was barricaded, seized by the government for them to
00:27:54.760
have freedom of worship and assembly. That we've recently had 50 churches burned, vandalized,
00:28:04.960
and a lot of politicians, a lot of the mainstream need have been silent on this, right? And that's
00:28:12.740
why I want to give a shout out to my friends in rebel there's some of the
00:28:19.180
To Adam Seuss and Sheila Gunn-Reed and Ezra Levant and all the rest of the team for covering
00:28:48.420
the stories that the other people are choosing to ignore. God bless you.
00:29:00.920
My own congregation has been spied upon. We've had people sitting at the back
00:29:07.100
while my priest gives a sermon looking to see if they can lay down some sort of
00:29:12.980
violation and you know this all I said when I last met and introduced you know
00:29:19.980
Derek and Airdrie but it's gotten worse since then we have a member of
00:29:27.440
Parliament David Yordiga who was denied the ability to run for the Conservative
00:29:33.780
Party who was pressured for three days to say that he had to resign because he
00:29:38.940
dared question mandatory vaccinations I voted for Derek Sloan in this last
00:29:59.420
in the leadership race before that my first choice was Pierre Lemieux and he
00:30:10.240
was also denied the ability to run as a conservative in this election and then
00:30:17.660
we also have a candidate who is going to run for us for the Yukon party I know
00:30:22.760
these people because I helped develop the campaign plan that put the Yukon
00:30:27.860
party into power in the Yukon when I helped Brad Cathers structure that
00:30:32.720
campaign strategy when he was a member of our National Council okay so all of
00:30:37.460
these people are my friends and it pains me when I see them treated the way they
00:30:41.000
are pains us all you bet it does you know this morning I watched a video sent
00:30:49.760
to me by a friend of mine about what was going on in France people were being
00:30:54.380
denied the ability to buy groceries because they didn't have a vaccine
00:31:00.680
passport contemplate that contemplate that right now I want to say in terms
00:31:10.160
of my own personal history I got COVID okay I had a fever that lasted for a
00:31:17.140
couple days I had a dehydration headache that lasted for eight days I normally
00:31:23.560
don't take anything but at the sixth day just to prevent myself from going stir
00:31:27.640
crazy I started doing acetaminophen to kind of ease some of the pain I then had
00:31:32.620
it moved to my lungs at one point it was so difficult for me climbing the stairs
00:31:37.540
that I had to stop and catch my breath just climbing the stairs okay I was in
00:31:43.720
bed for three weeks because of it but that all being said I know that myself
00:31:48.880
and Eric Lowther who's going to be speaking here as well we are both
00:31:52.980
subscribers to thank God that we had doctors who were able to get us
00:31:58.180
ivermectin they were willing to prescribe us ivermectin
00:32:06.480
the protocols in this province are such that if a doctor prescribes ivermectin
00:32:17.360
Pharmacists were threatening doctors with pulling their license and the ability to practice medicine.
00:32:31.000
Some of this stuff I'm talking about, and I'll go on a little bit,
00:32:34.520
this is the stuff of Stalin and the KGB and the Soviet Union, right?
0.57
00:32:50.980
Justin Trudeau wants to disallow, wants to ban, etc., outlaw 1,500 varieties of firearms, right?
00:33:00.240
I don't want to be dictated to from Ottawa with regard to that type of thing, all right?
00:33:05.920
Jason Kenney has been dragging his feet on us choosing our own chief firearms officer.
00:33:11.400
I would even prefer that that person is elected by firearms license holders in
00:33:15.960
the province of Alberta rather than chosen by the Premier or the Prime
00:33:19.680
Minister we have threats with authorization to transport that'll make
00:33:30.960
it difficult for people to take their guns either to ranges or even get them
00:33:34.520
repaired. This is ridiculous. And we think of High River. Has anybody been held to account
00:33:43.140
for all the doors that were kicked in, all the firearms that were seized, the list that
00:33:50.380
they must have had in order to do that, even though that list was outlawed? Right? These
00:33:57.380
are egregious violations of our rights. I want to move on to the third issue, which
00:34:02.280
is taxes specifically carbon taxes okay these taxes are in the process of being tripled
00:34:13.560
our pipelines are being blocked from alberta being able to get it to some of the ports that
00:34:18.600
we need to export this we've had a half trillion dollars added to our deck because of trudeau's
00:34:25.720
covid scenario and i don't care whether you call it a carbon tax or carbon pricing or a carbon
00:34:35.720
levy or whatever type of sneaky word you know maze you want to use on this you're hiking taxes
00:34:42.680
and no conservative should be in favor of increasing taxes
00:34:46.520
Now Derek Sloan, the man I voted for in this last conservative leadership race, he's a
00:35:02.520
He's braved seven fines going to religious services, going to rallies across this country,
00:35:11.520
standing up for freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
00:35:14.520
When a lot of other politicians cowered, they didn't come out, they didn't speak, they didn't say anything.
00:35:36.080
He's called out climate alarmism, the thing that is strangling the lifeblood of the province of Alberta.
00:35:42.880
okay he's had the courage to talk about wuhan china being the source of this covid
00:35:53.920
when other people were calling him names and saying no no no that's not true and now
00:35:59.200
as more and more is that's true okay he actually had gatherings of doctors to talk about what
00:36:07.920
should be done in terms of the protocols etc and it was removed okay all this censorship etc
00:36:15.200
and so my friends for these various reasons because we don't believe in mandates
00:36:23.440
okay because we believe in firearms rights and because we want to kill the carbon tax
00:36:30.400
for all these reasons we're here tonight this my friends this is alberta
00:36:37.920
My friend, Eric Lowther, Member of Parliament for Calvary Centre, sir.
00:36:54.780
You know, I've known Rob for 20-plus years, and he talked just like that 20 years ago,
00:37:00.360
so he's never deviated from commitment to conservative themes.
00:37:05.980
and I'm especially glad to see all of you and especially glad to see you made it down to Cochrane Hill
00:37:10.540
and maybe half of the group's still up there I don't know that hill's a tough one
00:37:14.320
yeah my name's Eric Lauder I live in this riding and I did thank you and I I did serve I did serve
00:37:23.520
in Ottawa and I represented Calgary Centre at that time and I was part of the official
00:37:28.780
opposition of a foreign party and many of you probably helped during those years and
00:37:32.760
I've always voted conservative and I've always stayed tuned in with what was going on and I've
00:37:42.500
been a little bit frustrated here in our own riding that our current member of parliament has
00:37:48.080
never had a nomination race in about 14 years and four elections but anyway I was watching the
00:37:53.720
leadership race like many of you probably were and I didn't know Derek Sloan from anybody and
00:38:01.000
And yet, here was a fellow standing up, and every time he spoke, I thought, you know, that's resonating with me.
00:38:08.180
He said, you know, this lockdown's gone too far.
00:38:12.560
He said, you know, maybe Theresa Tam isn't doing what Canada needs.
1.00
00:38:16.680
She's doing what WHO needs, and maybe she should go, right?
00:38:20.440
And I like it when he said, you know, when the oil patch in Alberta is booming, it's not bad for Canada.
00:38:30.160
it's good for canada so why are we putting roadblocks we should make it easier he said let's
00:38:34.720
get out of the paris accord and these global agreements that we sign on to you know we don't
00:38:39.600
need that we don't need that and you know in all of his talks and all the things he spoke to
00:38:46.960
he kept a one theme it's about canada first let's do what's good for canada and in addition to that
00:38:54.400
every time he spoke every time he spoke i picked up he used the word vision vision and you know we
00:39:03.480
need a positive vision for our country and i think he's got it in his in his heart and in his head
00:39:09.320
and why he's standing and doing what he's doing and why is vision so important well our founding
00:39:15.040
people who started this nation knew it was if you went to parliament today if you went to parliament
00:39:23.360
which is the big tower in the middle of the parliament buildings,
00:39:27.960
whether you know it or not or whether you like it or not,
00:39:35.800
It's part of our heritage, part of where we came from.
00:39:42.880
there is verses on each side of the peace tower.
00:39:50.980
there's a verse from Proverbs and it says without a vision the people perish
00:39:58.480
the people perish and you know Derek Sloan has given us a vision of a
00:40:05.620
Canada that can work a Canada that's founded on values and principles that
00:40:10.480
are going to make the nation stronger not weaker make our nation number one on
00:40:14.660
the planet we've got all the potential to do it he believes it and he's made me
00:40:18.640
believe it and that's why I've been supporting him and I hope every one of
00:40:22.420
you do tonight as well now the next speaker I want to introduce is somebody
00:40:26.620
who I've had a long time friendship with this gentleman served in Parliament your
00:40:32.360
Parliament for 15 years and as far as I was concerned he is a hero there he was
00:40:36.400
the chair of the Justice Committee he's got a heart as big as a house and he's
00:40:42.960
just as tough as a bear but he's a big teddy bear when you get to know him would
00:40:47.960
please welcome my good friend and former MP, Art Hanger. Good evening. A few of us
00:41:07.220
were reminiscing here just before the the event started, before the speakers
00:41:12.800
came up we were talking about the good old reform days and they were good that
00:41:21.440
was how politics is really done and as we organized and we ran in that first
00:41:33.620
campaign back in 1993, what happened? The Progressive Conservative Party was given
00:41:43.340
a gut punch and they went from a majority to two seats in the House. Two! They
00:41:50.480
couldn't believe their fortune. They were very very upset about it, let's put it
00:41:56.380
that way but that is what needs to happen again today I think I think it's
00:42:08.380
the Conservatives that have lost their way we know what Trudeau is all about
00:42:13.300
we know what the NDP is all about but it's the Conservatives that need another
00:42:19.480
gut-punch. They have lost their way and they need to be replaced.
00:42:36.240
The unfortunate part is that there's a lot of collusion going on in the East
00:42:43.540
amongst all these parties. It happened back in 1993. They would all get together
00:42:50.900
and they would try to trap, trick, cause all kinds of grief for the reformers,
00:42:58.160
and they're doing it again. They're doing it to Derek, they're dragging
00:43:05.100
their feet on this registration, and he will tell you more about that. But it is
00:43:11.340
is tragic to think that we have a bureaucracy and a media that have been
00:43:17.880
bought out, bought out so much so that we will never know the truth about so much
00:43:27.180
So here we are today, you have heard it said, victory is sweet, but I tell you, unless you
00:43:50.140
have endured a long and difficult struggle facing overwhelming odds trusting
00:43:59.240
in God's providence for strength after expending all of your own assets and
00:44:04.600
energy unless you have trod this path you really know very little about the
00:44:13.720
sweetness of victory. True victory leaves a lasting, deep, satisfaction that
00:44:25.560
rests quietly in your soul, content with the knowledge that you have persevered
00:44:32.260
to the end, having done all. And that is where we're at.
00:44:43.720
you're going to have to make every step count you're not going to allow your
00:44:50.860
opponent your opponent to distract you and they will and you have to keep your
00:44:57.760
eyes on the goal this man Sloan he understands this path he has felt the
00:45:11.480
sting of his colleagues indifference when the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
00:45:19.840
ostracized him, then unceremoniously booted him from the National Caucus, and then without
00:45:41.480
so why did they do that why was it because his values frighten them was it
00:45:58.040
the truth that they feared? Did he not conform to their unspoken agenda? What? I
00:46:12.660
think it was all of them, all of the above. So what is there left to say? You
00:46:23.560
folks insist on coming out to hear what this man Sloan has to say you're not
00:46:32.620
going away is it that you want to walk is it that you want to walk this
00:46:44.320
political path with him is it is it that you share his values and want to take up
00:46:59.160
some of the burden he carries is it that you clearly see a threat against your
00:47:12.800
freedom and seek his leadership is this what your desire is then know this know
00:47:28.280
this not only will you share the load but you will commit to reaching out to
00:47:37.400
your friends your neighbors and others in the community and bring them into the
00:47:42.320
fight. There is a lot at stake here. Do not think, do not think that this campaign will be easy.
00:47:58.400
It will not be easy. Campaigns like this never are easy.
00:48:03.120
Always remember, it's not just about you, or your future, but it is also about your
00:48:16.200
children's future, and your grandchildren's future, and the future of your community.
00:48:30.360
Great Reset is about to take away that future and there's no turning back. Yes
00:48:41.160
this is only one constituency, it's only one, but victory begins by taking that
00:48:50.280
first step so I asked you Derek Sloan asked you to come and plant that flag of
00:49:03.040
yours tonight now the clock is ticking the incumbent MP out here Blake Richards
00:49:14.660
has to go. He has done enough damage. That's damage in itself. Nothing is damaged. Folks,
00:49:36.140
I would like you to welcome Mr. Derrick Sloan MP to this stage.
00:50:36.140
I don't think this stage is big enough, I like to move around up here, so forgive me
00:51:00.640
if I fall off okay listen I believe that Canadians are ready for change
00:51:12.540
and myself and my team have traveled to over 15 Alberta towns and cities in the
00:51:18.660
last couple of weeks and we're seeing clouds just like this in almost every
00:51:30.640
So we are starting a movement that's going to spread across the country, but for the
00:51:37.560
next 33 and a half days we're going to take a brief hiatus right here in Banff Airdrie.
00:51:47.960
I was elected Conservative Member of Parliament in 2019.
00:51:53.520
I ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party with the slogan,
00:52:06.820
I'm sick of Conservatives apologizing for their values.
00:52:16.440
It's OK if you apologize when you make a mistake,
00:52:19.940
but you should never apologize for your core values that you stand for.
00:52:31.040
This leadership race had, as far as we can tell,
00:52:33.760
the highest entry requirements of any leadership race in the entire world.
00:52:39.360
In terms of the money that was required to get in, in terms of the time frame,
00:52:43.340
it would have been cheaper to run for President of the United States
00:52:46.420
than to run for leader of the Conservative Party.
00:52:49.940
Nine people entered that race, four of them qualified, of which I was one, and our team
00:53:00.940
And we enjoyed traveling to here and to many other provinces in Canada.
00:53:09.940
And our message of positive, proactive, never backing down, whether it's controversial
00:53:18.940
controversial or non-controversial, struck a tone with Canadians who are sick of politically
00:53:24.180
correct leadership, they're sick of politicians telling them nothing when they speak.
00:53:35.780
And after that, the leadership race, things were not going well in Ottawa, and after four
00:53:45.180
or five months of attempting to play as a team member in ottawa i was unceremoniously kicked
00:53:52.300
out of the conservative party it was ostensibly for a hundred and thirty one dollar donation
00:54:00.700
that had been made apparently by somebody who's racist
00:54:05.740
it didn't matter that we've received 13 000 separate donations raised nearly 1.4 million
00:54:12.540
that the conservative party had accepted their cut of that $131
00:54:18.760
that they had processed it on their own website
00:54:22.360
that they had allowed this person to become a member
00:54:25.540
that this person had voted in the leadership race
00:54:31.080
that he donated under a name that was not known well
00:54:38.980
But it was not about a donation. It was about a leader who didn't want anybody vying for attention on his platform.
00:54:48.980
It was about a leader that didn't want anything stepping in his way of taking the Conservative Party from a Conservative Party
00:55:07.980
party to a liberal like party and he's moved at lightning speed ever since
00:55:37.980
And they told us all for his money, and I did, and they sent me a letter and said,
00:55:48.980
you're a very plain, you're going to run in the next election.
00:55:51.980
And within a month, they had pulled my membership against the will of my local conservative
00:55:58.980
They pulled a nomination against the will of my local members who dominated me in 2018,
00:56:04.980
and voting for me again, I was going to never win.
00:56:18.920
They took that money and they gave it to the next candidate
00:56:29.120
They have virtually assured that that riding will go to the liberals.
00:56:32.980
they put a a brand new person in after ripping the person out against the wishes of the riding
00:56:42.900
but he hasn't he didn't stop there he's done many other things he he just forced a good alberta mp
00:56:54.340
up in the north david urdiga to resign because he said that mandatory vaccines were a hallmark of
00:57:01.260
tyranny. He's forcing a candidate in the Yukon to step down because he had some things to say
00:57:18.280
about mandatory vaccinations as well. This is not the hallmark of a conservative party.
00:57:25.360
in fact it's clear that all the legacy parties are corrupt
00:57:31.780
there was no stand federally against the lockdowns that destroyed thousands of
00:57:46.640
businesses across the country and right here in Alberta
00:57:55.360
There was no offering or talking about alternative treatments for COVID
00:58:11.220
There was no stand against mandatory quarantining.
00:58:17.840
In hotels where your family doesn't know where you're going
00:58:20.960
and you're being taken by people you don't know who they are.
00:58:25.360
And now they want to bring mandatory vaccines for every man, woman, and soon child.
00:58:39.400
Almost worse than this, the liberals want to censor the internet
00:58:43.560
so that anyone who doesn't agree with them will be silenced.
00:59:15.120
when the opportunity comes to gain a few votes.
00:59:19.760
It was only a few months ago that Justin Trudeau said,
00:59:23.020
oh, mandatory vaccines, no, that would be divisive and harmful.
00:59:27.140
Vaccine passports would divide the country.
0.97
00:59:30.140
But now that he thinks he can gain a few points in the polls,
00:59:34.500
he's not afraid to say exactly the opposite of what he said only a few months ago.
00:59:41.820
he's also willing to trample on just about every liberty we have whether it's religious liberty
00:59:49.240
freedom of conscience freedom to choose what medical treatments you want
00:59:54.080
just this past week the liberals are making this election about abortion again which i they do it
01:00:02.300
every time and i tell the conservatives you have to stop running away but they're doing it again
01:00:06.980
And now they're going so far to say that being pro-choice means that only women get choices.
01:00:14.940
As if a doctor should have to perform an abortion or a euthanasia if it goes against their conscience.
01:00:21.500
I don't think they're actually going to do that.
01:00:23.160
But this is the lows that the liberals will go to to foment their following and to double down on toxic policies and division.
01:00:36.980
this is the extreme to which Justin Trudeau is willing to go and I just want to say today
01:00:47.140
mark my words you will not get away with this Justin Trudeau
01:01:06.980
Everything that he does provides us as a country.
01:01:16.980
Every trick in his book is about pitting Easterners against Westerners,
01:01:22.980
black people against white people, men against women,
0.60
01:01:26.980
indigenous against Europeans, and vaccinated against unvaccinated.
01:01:36.980
We will overcome him and we will never forget what he has done to this country.
01:01:57.620
But in all of this, where were the conservatives?
01:02:04.660
was Aaron O'Toole. Albertans trusted you to stand up for them. They trusted you to stand
01:02:17.260
up to Justin Trudeau when he was dividing and conquering here in the West. But instead,
01:02:23.520
you stood silent when we had the greatest crisis in this country in peacetime. You stood
01:02:31.020
goodbye you stared your mps into silence there's many of them that were questioning these lockdowns
01:02:37.340
many of them questioning many many things and yet you forced them to be silent this whole time
01:02:45.420
it's shameful and your mp in this lighting as rip was calling mps behind the scenes
01:02:53.420
and telling them to be quiet and telling them to vote for liberal legislation it's shameful
01:03:01.020
The party and the leaders stood silent when tens of thousands of Canadians had their businesses closed.
01:03:11.920
While eating disorders, anxiety disorders skyrocketed, suicides, domestic violence, overdoses, nothing.
01:03:22.340
They said nothing about alternative treatments for COVID, nothing about different ways of addressing the problem.
01:03:28.240
they said silent the only thing they could say it was buy more vaccines vaccinate people faster
01:03:33.840
the silence was definite and it came at a point in our history
01:03:40.380
where we needed someone to stand and no one did
01:03:44.500
they said nothing when pastors were going to jail
01:03:58.420
they said nothing when justin trudeau would go to his black lives matter rallies with his with
01:04:05.840
his cabinet and pastors were trying to open their churches and they were going to jail they said
01:04:10.360
nothing. They didn't say anything about the mandatory hotel quarantining until several
01:04:19.740
women got assaulted. Do we have to be assaulted before the Conservatives will stand up for
01:04:25.680
our rights in this country? It's shameful. It took them about three days to get a tepid
01:04:34.820
response from erin o'toole about mandatory vaccines and apparently he doesn't believe in them
01:04:41.940
i don't trust him he kicked he kicked david urdiga out of the party for being against him
01:04:48.020
he tried to shut down the guy in the yukon for being against it i don't trust him at all what
01:04:53.540
about that what about the pledge he wrote with his own hand he would never bring in
01:04:56.820
a carbon tax remember that pledge how long did that last a few months
01:05:04.820
Not only this, but other MPs were bullied and shamed in silence behind the scenes.
01:05:15.680
He had his health critic write a lengthy paper about how certain drugs should be legalized for gay men
01:05:21.620
without spending any time whatsoever to write a paper on some drugs that might be useful to fight COVID-19.
01:05:34.820
He's mentioned a lot of liberal catchphrases, but I've never heard him mention ivermectin
01:05:42.140
or many other drugs that could be useful in this fight.
01:05:51.200
The leader failed to stand up for Alberta's energy independence by being in favor of the
01:05:55.900
Paris Agreement and by being in favor of carbon taxation and other climate alarmist methods.
01:06:04.260
got it. He also said that he could afford to lose some votes in Alberta. I think that
01:06:18.500
wish may come true. He also said that he didn't want anybody
01:06:57.520
The leader failed to stand up for conservative values,
01:07:01.180
and he even voted against a bill by Kathy Wagenthal,
01:07:05.580
someone in his own caucus, a private member's bill,
01:07:08.960
and it was a bill that wanted to address sex-selective abortion
01:07:11.920
when an abortion happens only because the person doesn't want
01:07:18.500
It's something that most Canadians are actually against,
01:07:20.760
about 80%, depending on what poll you're looking at.
01:07:24.460
And typically, when a party brings forward a private member's bill,
01:07:29.040
I can't remember a single private member's bill a liberal brought forward that every
01:07:43.040
Your MP in this riding voted against that bill to ban sex-selective abortion.
01:07:52.040
He had a conservative mandate in this rioting where over 70% of the people in this rioting voted for him.
01:08:01.800
The next person on the ballot, I don't know what they got, 12%, something way down there.
01:08:09.640
He had no reason to back down from representing his constituents.
01:08:14.840
But instead, he cared more about currying the good graces of O'Toole
01:08:19.800
than for standing up for his own constituents here in the riding.
01:08:29.640
The liberals are once again turning this election into abortion.
01:08:33.820
It doesn't matter how many times O'Toole marches in parades
01:08:37.840
or says he's pro-choice or votes against his own members' bills,
01:08:42.380
The Liberals always campaign on controversy. That's what they do. They campaign on division. That's why I've said that Conservatives must stand strong.
01:08:54.820
we cannot avoid controversy therefore we must not back down we must have a measured approach
01:09:08.500
that never backs down because they want to use controversy to call us into silence that's what
01:09:14.980
they do and it's picked up on by others in the liberal elite and these things and and and and
01:09:20.760
and they want us to be quiet absolutely that is why i advocated for a policy of never apologizing
01:09:30.760
and never backing down it's the way to do it and it's the only thing that works
01:09:42.600
and you know i am i am disappointed by many conservative mps
01:09:46.040
but some of them deserve more opprobrium than others some of them deserve a
01:09:55.700
little more ire from their constituents than others and one of them is the MP
01:10:00.440
in this riding Blake Blake Richards he's he's the whip of Aaron O'Toole and he's
01:10:07.160
carrying O'Toole's water out here he's doing O'Toole's dirty work out here when
01:10:12.860
And when conservative MPs don't want to vote for some of this liberal legislation,
01:10:19.780
well, you know, come on, can you just support it?
01:10:21.520
Or can you, at the least, can you just abstain?
01:10:24.520
I can't tell you how many times I got a call from this guy.
01:10:27.480
You know, he wanted me to back down and back off.
01:10:34.420
He's been out here representing this riding for 14 years.
01:10:39.520
you don't get challenged if you do the party's dirty work they'll protect you
01:10:43.800
and a lot of MPs out here take their position for granted
01:10:48.100
they take their support for granted because they say oh well
01:10:51.660
what are they going to do vote liberal I'm going to win anyways
01:11:02.160
It's time, and I'd like to say right now, I want to put cowardly MPs on notice.
01:11:20.160
When you take your constituents for granted, when you care more about Ottawa than you do
01:11:29.620
your own constituents, we're going to come for you.
01:11:40.520
This will be a shot across the bow to the Conservatives but many other people in this
01:11:44.080
country we will target those cowardly MPs we will win this riding and we will extend this movement
01:11:58.880
across the whole country so if you haven't gathered it already i would like to tell you
01:12:11.120
officially that I have decided to run in this riding, in this election.
01:12:41.120
And I'm not going anywhere, and listen, listen, we've done our homework, we have excellent
01:13:04.360
support here, and I'm telling you right now, there is no chance that a liberal or an MDP
01:13:35.520
You can come up and you can ask me personally, okay?
01:13:40.020
If you like the Maverick or PPC, God bless you, and God bless both of those parties, okay?
01:13:56.060
But just let us have this slice of the pie, because I'm telling you, we've done our homework.
01:14:22.300
I'm just floored by the freedom-loving spirit in Alberta and other places.
01:14:27.320
But I've been here for three weeks, and it's amazing.
01:14:29.840
And I'm just honestly humbled every single time I get in a room in front of you.
01:14:38.880
So I just want to tell you here, and thank you so much for being here, but I'm going
01:14:49.300
to tell our audience that's watching across Alberta and across the country, I want every
01:14:54.400
single freedom-loving Albertan to come to this riding and flood it with our message
01:15:02.120
so sign up on my website if you're watching if you're watching this online right now go to
01:15:14.180
derricksloan.ca sign up to volunteer let's bring you down here the people in this riding aren't
01:15:19.280
going to know what hit them so listen we're getting a lot of support here in a lot of
01:15:30.860
different parts of Alberta and a lot of people have said Derek you should run to
01:15:37.860
now i i'm honored by your by your request and your enthusiasm but i will be a little bit busy
01:17:06.640
Listen, we cannot let democracy die in darkness.
01:17:11.120
The mainstream party structures have destroyed democracy.
01:17:17.440
David Yardiga can't even put out a letter saying that mandatory vaccines are wrong without getting kicked out of the party.
01:17:24.740
this is awful this is the type of world that we live in okay we could not let
01:17:32.000
this system take over our country let it be known
01:17:42.100
let it be known that individual people matter let let it be known that
01:17:48.400
individuals can vote for a person and not just the color let it be known that
01:18:01.780
people can vote for a person with integrity and not just talking points on
01:18:06.220
TV to join with me in these next 34 days as we take this riding back it will be a
01:18:19.360
litmus test of what is to come next but after that it's all the way to Ottawa
01:18:51.540
Let's give another big round of applause for Derek's phone running here, right here, and
01:19:01.300
All right, I'm going to give Derek the microphone here in one more second.
01:19:04.760
he's going to close this thing up but it's time for me to yeah nobody wants to listen to me but
01:19:10.540
it's it's time for me to do my work so at the back of the room you're going to see a bunch of
01:19:15.980
tables set up and those tables are there so that we can get your support as Derek said it's time
01:19:22.880
to send a message and we need all of your help everybody here so Derek's campaign is officially
01:19:30.500
launching the paperwork needs to get submitted tomorrow I need at least a
01:19:35.740

01:19:56.600

01:20:21.560

So we start at zero and we need all of your help. Volunteer forms are out there. Sign forms are out there if you want to put a lawn sign up. There's forms for that too.
01:20:44.920

01:20:49.740
We want you all, and we've got a space for you all, all right?
01:20:56.120
If you need anything else, go to www.gerricksloan.ca,
01:21:00.320
and I'm going to give it to Derek now to finish up.
01:21:03.320
Thank you, guys. I'll be at the back. Come talk to me.
01:21:14.920
all right everyone thank you so much and so dan is just saying we need 125 signatures at the back
01:21:38.120
there so if we can do that i'm going to close the meeting quickly i see i see a question yes what's
01:21:43.240
I'm going to answer everyone's questions after we want to close, but what is it, ma'am?
01:21:48.240
I'm from Ontario. Why have you picked this riding?
01:22:00.240
Okay, so the question here is why have we picked this riding?
01:22:03.240
Now, we're going to have some exciting announcements to make in the next couple of days
01:22:07.240
about other people that we're running in some other areas, okay?
01:22:10.240
But this announcement tonight is about this riding.
01:22:13.920
You all know that I've, many of you know, that I've started a federal political party.
01:22:22.660
But we are going to be running people in this election.
01:22:28.180
So we wanted to make sure that we had a toehold in the West and also in the East.
01:22:34.740
Also, because of the cowardice of the conservatives, as I told you before,
01:22:39.500
we want to make sure that we're targeting people that deserve to be targeted not people who are
01:22:44.560
doing their job as the whip of the party he's been carrying O'Toole's water out here in Alberta
01:22:50.700
and he has been telling all the MPs to stand down on important legislation so that is why I'd be
01:22:57.400
happy to talk to you more about this afterwards if you'd like to know but that's why we've chose
01:23:02.660
this writing we will be running people in other areas as well and those announcements will come
01:23:07.120
soon but we wanted to make sure we had representation here in the West and in
01:23:13.540
our touring around Alberta people were very excited to hear about my movement
01:23:17.680
and they wanted to see that so that's what we're doing we're not leaving
01:23:21.040
Ontario alone either don't worry about that but we're making announcements kind
01:23:25.420
of you know one at a time okay so thank you for that I'm not going to take any
01:23:29.080
more questions but you feel free to come up you can ask me as many questions as
01:23:32.200
you want okay we we we have a schedule to keep but i will say as i've been accustomed to do and
01:23:39.020
as i've done in every single one of my meetings here in alberta as has been done for the last
01:23:44.140
hundred years at every town council meeting and is done daily in parliament i'm going to close
01:23:48.700
this meeting with a brief prayer you may join me if you like you don't have to okay let's stand
01:23:56.020
Dear Lord, we thank you for this great country.
01:24:02.600
We thank you for all the patriotic Canadians that are joining us here tonight
01:24:06.260
and around the world on the World Wide Web and across Canada.
01:24:10.160
We thank you so much for the blessings we have in this country.
01:24:13.500
We pray that you would help us to get this country back,
01:24:16.380
though it may cost us and though we may have to fight.
01:24:30.060
So feel free to come up and talk to me and make sure if you're from this riding
01:24:33.060
and you would like me to run, you sign our paper at the back, okay?
