00:24:51.000 Thank you.

00:25:21.000 Thank you.

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

00:26:18.420 Member of Parliament.

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

00:26:46.100 that you're frustrated.

00:26:48.420 right

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

00:28:16.000 folks from rebel news here tonight

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

00:29:55.500 leadership race he was my first choice

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

00:32:14.080 they can have their license pulled.

00:32:17.360 Pharmacists were threatening doctors with pulling their license and the ability to practice medicine.

00:32:23.040 That is wrong, right?

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

00:32:41.140 Let me talk about another big issue.

00:32:44.080 So the first one was mandates, okay?

00:32:47.560 The second one is firearms rights, all right?

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 0.93

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

00:35:01.520 leader.

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.

00:35:21.060 They were mum, silenced.

00:35:23.900 Okay, he's a firearms owner.

00:35:26.580 He's opposed the Paris Agreement.

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.

00:36:49.900 Way to go, Rob.

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.

00:38:07.000 I like what he has to say.

00:38:08.180 He said, you know, this lockdown's gone too far.

00:38:10.880 We don't need to go this 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

00:39:21.860 and you went up the peace tower,

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,

00:39:30.160 there's verses, scripture verses,

00:39:32.360 embedded all through the parliament.

00:39:34.920 We are.

00:39:35.800 It's part of our heritage, part of where we came from.

00:39:39.180 Right?

00:39:40.240 So on the peace tower, on the peace tower,

00:39:42.880 there is verses on each side of the peace tower.

00:39:45.900 And on the west side,

00:39:47.960 the side that's pointing to us right now,

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

00:43:24.960 of it.

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

00:45:29.360 due process kicked him out of the party.

00:45:34.720 Shame on them.

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.

00:49:47.140 Derrick, where are you?

00:50:06.140 You

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

00:51:23.060 single one of them

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,

00:51:58.060 Conservative Without Apology.

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

00:52:59.940 did very well.

00:53:00.940 And we enjoyed traveling to here and to many other provinces in Canada.

00:53:05.940 We loved it.

00:53:06.940 That's great.

00:53:07.940 Thank you so much.

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

00:54:28.700 that they had examined his license

00:54:31.080 that he donated under a name that was not known well

00:54:35.660 none of that mattered and I was kicked out

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

00:55:21.100 if they were actually

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

00:55:56.980 writing board members.

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.

00:56:11.100 20.

00:56:18.920 They took that money and they gave it to the next candidate

00:56:21.940 that they put in my place.

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

00:56:39.440 and o'toole has said that he wants to win

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

00:58:00.680 that are being used all over the world.

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.

00:58:47.220 the liberals also want to push

00:58:54.120 well and the conservatives frankly

00:58:55.900 shamefully damaging climate

00:58:57.980 policies that will shut Alberta

00:59:00.020 down for good

00:59:01.220 I've never seen

00:59:08.240 a liberal government so

00:59:10.120 cynical that they will

00:59:12.120 turn on things that they've said merely

00:59:13.980 mere months ago

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.

00:59:40.940 It's shameful.

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.

01:00:13.580 Doctors don't.

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

01:00:51.320 you will not get away with this

01:01:06.980 Everything that he does provides us as a country.

01:01:14.980 It is shameful.

01:01:16.980 Every trick in his book is about pitting Easterners against Westerners, 0.78

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.

01:01:31.980 This division needs to stop.

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.

01:05:10.880 It's atrocious what we're seeing. 0.78

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

01:06:31.500 that comes to my meetings to be in his party.

01:06:35.140 Well, I have news for you, Mr. O'Toole.

01:06:38.180 The people that are coming to my meetings

01:06:39.660 are the base of your party, my friend.

01:06:44.340 How many people here are conservative voters,

01:06:48.400 former voters and donors and volunteers

01:06:50.920 and things of this nature?

01:06:53.020 Many, many, many people.

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

01:07:16.420 that particular gender of baby.

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,

01:07:27.420 every member of the party votes for it.

01:07:29.040 I can't remember a single private member's bill a liberal brought forward that every

01:07:33.040 liberal didn't vote for.

01:07:35.040 And yet, he voted against it.

01:07:38.040 Who?

01:07:43.040 Your MP in this riding voted against that bill to ban sex-selective abortion.

01:07:50.040 That's right.

01:07:52.040 He had a conservative mandate in this rioting where over 70% of the people in this rioting voted for him.

01:08:00.480 He had nothing to lose.

01:08:01.800 The next person on the ballot, I don't know what they got, 12%, something way down there.

01:08:07.640 He had nothing to lose.

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,

01:10:18.100 he's calling them behind the scenes saying,

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.

01:10:30.760 That's his job.

01:10:32.840 And he calls himself an Albertan.

01:10:34.420 He's been out here representing this riding for 14 years.

01:10:38.300 Never been challenged.

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

01:10:55.100 so I'll just do whatever I want

01:10:57.240 no more

01:10:59.780 no more 0.73

01:11:02.160 It's time, and I'd like to say right now, I want to put cowardly MPs on notice. 0.60

01:11:20.160 When you take your constituents for granted, when you care more about Ottawa than you do 0.93

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.

01:12:19.760 I am here. I am here.

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

01:13:10.020 he's going to win this riding.

01:13:11.440 This is a two-horse race.

01:13:18.460 It's going to be Blake

01:13:19.600 or it's going to be me.

01:13:21.380 I'm telling you that right now.

01:13:28.320 That's right.

01:13:29.180 That's right.

01:13:30.200 Now, listen.

01:13:31.460 Now, I see we got a hand in the audience.

01:13:33.880 You know what, ma'am?

01:13:34.620 Just wait until we're done.

01:13:35.520 You can come up and you can ask me personally, okay?

01:13:37.740 But listen, I'll tell you this.

01:13:40.020 If you like the Maverick or PPC, God bless you, and God bless both of those parties, okay?

01:13:46.180 But support them in a different riding, okay?

01:13:48.640 Because this is going to be a two-horse race.

01:13:50.860 We've done our homework, okay?

01:13:52.860 No offense, okay?

01:13:53.920 God bless both of those parties.

01:13:56.060 But just let us have this slice of the pie, because I'm telling you, we've done our homework.

01:14:00.940 It's going to be Blake or me.

01:14:02.280 We've done our homework.

01:14:03.200 We know how this is shaping up, okay?

01:14:05.860 But don't worry.

01:14:06.760 The NDP and Liberals cannot win, okay?

01:14:09.880 We've looked at it.

01:14:10.880 There's no way, okay?

01:14:12.180 There's no way.

01:14:14.000 No chance.

01:14:19.580 So listen, I want to thank you guys so much.

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.

01:14:36.640 It's amazing.

01:14:37.480 Thank 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

01:16:07.720 Prime Minister of this country.

01:16:27.280 But, listen, in the meantime,

01:16:29.660 this is going to be a barometer of the status

01:16:31.600 of freedom in this country.

01:16:35.620 are going to be watching the outcome

01:16:37.440 in this riding

01:16:38.520 they're going to say

01:16:39.740 can an independent individual

01:16:42.660 take on the establishment

01:17:32.000 this system take over our country let it be known

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

01:21:14.920 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?

01:21:54.240 And thank you, but can you just tell us why?

01:21:58.240 Sure. Absolutely.

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.

01:22:19.660 It has not yet been approved.

01:22:22.660 But we are going to be running people in this election.

01:22:26.300 Some, not many, but some.

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
