00:00:00.000 a month ago it would be unconstitutional have a vaccine passport well on Tuesday the vaccine
00:00:15.960 passport comes in don't trust a bloody one of them not a one of them they're so invested in
00:00:22.800 this narrative of fear they don't know how to get out of it there's only one party only one leader
00:00:29.520 who's got the courage and the backbone and the integrity to end this narrative of fear let's
00:00:35.640 vote for him on Monday thank you very much next Monday that will be the beginning of
00:00:46.380 a common-sense revolution in our country a freedom revolution in our country
00:00:52.560 and we will do that together the first rally in Montreal if we had 100 person that was a maximum
00:01:09.480 but you know what at that time maybe common sense was not that common but I can tell you
00:01:19.980 that the last rally in Montreal that I did we were 55,000 people fighting for rights you know like
00:01:30.600 me that government is not the solution the government is the problem and our politicians
00:01:39.600 are the problems because O'Toole won't speak in Eastern Canada about Western alienation for him
00:01:49.140 you know you're happy you will vote for the Conservative Party everything is nice here in Western Canada
00:01:56.600 no it is not and I know why you're mad about Ottawa I know it's good here in Alberta but I'm proud to speak
00:02:06.980 about it also in Quebec in France because every province every province must have more autonomy if we want to
00:02:20.960 keep to keep to keep this country united and I'm very pleased to be here and finish my campaign here with you in Alberta
00:02:29.660 don't forget we still have three days we still have three days and there's still some Canadians that don't know there's
00:02:40.080 another option here our option because I believe that they know that all the other options suck but we are the
00:02:50.720 only option for this country and for you and for Canadians and I will end that little speech with the same
00:02:58.960 quote that I like from John F Kennedy the quote that he said in 1961 one year after the one that I started my
00:03:09.200 speech from John Diffen Baker 1960 Kennedy in 1961 at his inaugurations speech after being elected and what he said at that time I like that quote because it's very that quote is very actual for today and we are living now here in Canada in the same situation
00:03:35.200 in the same situation that they had at that time in the U.S. and Kennedy said in the long history of the world only few generations have been taking the role of defending freedom in its maximum hour of danger you are that generation this is your role and now is the time
00:04:03.200 now is the time
00:04:05.200 now is the time
00:04:07.200 now is the time
00:04:11.200 let's live strong and free
00:04:17.200 I count on you who can count on us
00:04:21.200 thank you thank you
00:04:23.200 all right so I am here with Paul Hinman the leader of the Wild Rose Independence Party and we just finished watching Maxine Bernier's PPC event out here in Strathmore and I was just wondering Paul what are your thoughts
00:04:49.200 well it's exciting to see so many Albertans coming out and supporting the truth supporting the principles that we believe in voting and supporting freedom because that's really what this election is about do we want freedom in the future or are we going to have big government that's stripping away our freedoms our constitutional rights and Albertans we want our freedom here
00:05:07.200 and speaking of freedom and speaking of freedom Jason Kenny just plunged us back down into lockdowns the open for summer plan is obviously cancelled for fall and we are now introducing vaccine passports what do you think of the vaccine passports it's just wrong it's unconstitutional and the damage that it is doing the collateral damage of passports is just unforeseen and the number of people that are contacting me that are that that are do not want to get vaccinated that better be
00:05:35.200 and threatened you know you either get vaccinated or lose your job it's wrong and the government should never be allowing this segregation to be taking place the mental stress the financial stress the family stress you even got families now that are divided I met one nurse last week when I was at the rally there that doesn't want to get vaccinated and her husband's just furious with her just get the stupid vaccine and go to work why are you refusing this we need you to go to work this is wrong this is not what a free and prosperous country
00:06:04.200 goes by and yet we have federal and provincial politicians that for whatever reason are coercing people to get vaccinated and it's just wrong
00:06:13.180 and the the legacy media today ran a couple of interesting stories where they said that a vote for Maxine Bernier a vote for the PPC is a vote for Justin Trudeau what are your thoughts on that
00:06:27.020 well it's false and again we've got to have people that stop voting out of fear and actually start voting for what they believe in and what they want
00:06:33.660 and we want our freedoms we want a future we want to reduce the size of government we don't want a cradle to grave government that's always looking at everything we're doing telling us what we can do and what we can't do telling us who we can visit and who we can't I mean it's just unbelievable how divisive these policies are and we need to vote for Maxine Bernier and the PPC and send that message to Ottawa here
00:06:54.640 so in a lot of places people are looking at it and they're looking at possible the possibility of vote splitting
00:07:01.080 what do you have to say for people that are concerned about the vote splitting or the possibility that Aaron O'Toole could lose out on a minority
00:07:09.480 because the PPC wins a bunch of seats
00:07:12.120 I categorically disagree with that don't waste your vote on something or too often they voted for the least of two evils
00:07:19.640 and if we want to change and save Canada you've got to start voting for what's right you've got to vote for the principles and for the truth
00:07:25.580 and this idea to vote out of fear or out of strategy we never win we lose maybe it's death by a thousand cuts instead of fifty
00:07:34.520 but no you've got to vote for what we believe and what we need and we need our freedom and we need to have a reduction in the size of government
00:07:42.300 we need to be decentralized all those things are critical and if we don't vote for that we lose whether it's you know one year or five years we lose
00:07:50.180 so don't vote out of fear vote for courage and vote for the truth vote for freedom
00:07:54.320 awesome well thank you very much for taking some time to chat with me today I really appreciate it
00:07:59.900 thanks for the for you for the western standard and being willing to report on these things thank you
00:08:04.760 we appreciate it thanks
00:08:06.060 I am here with Maxime Bernier in the dark you stayed right till the bitter end to say hi to absolutely everyone that was here at your rally today
00:08:14.460 you wanted to end your campaign in Alberta why Alberta
00:08:18.040 because we share the same values and we have a lot of support here and I'm very proud to be called the Albertan from Quebec
00:08:24.360 when I started my political career in 2007 a journalist like I said in my speech
00:08:29.600 I think that was from the global mail said this guy is speaking like Albertan about freedom and individual freedom and personal responsibility
00:08:37.520 so and he called me the Albertan from Quebec and I used that since that time because yes here in Alberta
00:08:44.580 we share the same values and we must promote that all across the country and that's what I'm doing
00:08:49.720 so and I believe that we have a chance to have some candidates that will be elected here
00:08:55.220 so I'm doing my best campaigning across the country and we'll see what will happen this Monday
00:09:00.980 now speaking of the media the front page of the Toronto Sun today there was an article
00:09:06.260 and it said a vote for Maxime Bernier and the PPC is a vote for trust in Trudeau
00:09:11.540 what do you think of that?
00:09:12.880 yeah you know I believe that they're very scared
00:09:16.020 they the Conservative Party of Canada if they have to use all their their tools and people that they know to write something like that
00:09:23.960 it's because they know that we are we have a great momentum
00:09:27.720 and people understand now that the Conservative Party is not conservative anymore just in name
00:09:33.920 so voting for the PPC is voting for your values
00:09:37.420 it's not my fault if the Conservative Party of Canada is taking your vote here in Alberta for granted
00:09:44.720 and they're like Justin Trudeau on all the most important issues starting by COVID-19 hysteria and imposing a vaccine passport 0.83
00:09:55.680 they're like Trudeau and here now here in Alberta I believe that people don't want a vaccine passport 1.00
00:10:02.720 and actually O'Toole is working with with Kenny Kenny as you remember Kenny supported O'Toole a week ago
00:10:11.880 and and and and they're together with that vaccine passport so you if you're fed up with vaccine passport and with the fake conservative
00:10:20.560 like Kenny and like O'Toole you just have one option us and I don't believe that if you vote for the PPC in Alberta
00:10:28.720 that you will elect a liberal MP here in Alberta you won't when when conservatives are winning by 70% of the vote in Alberta
00:10:40.720 you know voting for PPC the only chance that you have it's to elect a PPC member of parliament or a fake conservative member of parliament
00:10:49.720 so that argument is only to try to convince former conservatives to stay conservative
00:10:57.720 but these people are intelligent are wise and they know that they are not leaving the Conservative Party of Canada to come to us
00:11:06.720 the Conservative Party of Canada let them you know abandon them and that's why now they have a new home with the People's Party of Canada
00:11:18.720 So is that your message then to people who are worried about vote splitting specifically in smaller rural ridings that the Conservatives normally see 75-80%
00:11:28.720 is that your message to them is that they can vote for you and Justin Trudeau won't win?
00:11:34.720 they can vote for us and they can be saved that they won't elect a liberal in their riding and and you know but if if there's a minority liberal government or a minority conservative government that will be the same thing
00:11:48.720 O'Toole won't solve the equalization formula O'Toole won't build pipelines and use the constitution to impose I'm using my word to impose pipelines everywhere because it's under the federal jurisdiction when you use the constitution and the section 9210 in the constitution
00:12:06.720 Aaron O'Toole won't abolish carbon tax he won't he will impose a carbon tax we won't sign the Paris accord
00:12:15.720 so if you're a real conservative in with your values we are your only choice because the Conservative Party of Canada is the leftist party now
00:12:27.720 And then earlier today the Western Standard actually broke a story where a student in school in Ontario recorded their teacher saying that they couldn't discuss or teach the PPC in the classroom because the PPC has openly racist policies
00:12:42.720 What do you say to that?
00:12:44.720 You know, I'm saying I believe that students are more intelligent than the teacher because they can read and and I'm sure that that student read our platform
00:12:53.720 And they know they know that we are fighting for this country and we are doing politics for Canadians for all Canadians and we don't play any racial politics
00:13:03.720 Who's playing racial politics? That's a conservative and the liberals
00:13:07.720 Trudeau couple of months ago create created a new program only for black entrepreneurs
00:13:14.720 That's a racial politics. That's a program that is racist. We won't do that. We will abolish program like that
00:13:21.720 And if we want to have a program for entrepreneurs, we'll have a program for all entrepreneurs in Canada
00:13:27.720 So for us, it's not important the color of your skin or your ethnicity or your religion or your sex
00:13:34.720 We are doing politics for every Canadian and for us, you are a Canadian
00:13:38.720 I don't want to know what what you are doing in your bedroom or what is the color of your of your skin 1.00
00:13:45.720 That's not important for us. You're in this country. You share Canadian values. You're welcome. Let's work with us to build this country
00:13:53.720 So the elections winding down to a close now. We only have a few days left. What are your plans for the next two days?
00:13:59.720 I'll be here. I'll be in Edmonton and we will do our rally at the end of the campaign in Saskatoon
00:14:07.720 Monday, so I will be the last two days of the campaign in Alberta and try to gain more and more and more support
00:14:16.720 And I believe that Albertans understand that you know when you have a party that the only argument
00:14:22.720 When you have the Conservative Party of Canada, the only argument for Albertans to vote for them
00:14:28.720 It's splitting the vote
00:14:30.720 O'Toole is the one that is splitting the vote. He's splitting the Liberal votes
00:14:34.720 We are not doing anything and he's not conservative anymore
00:14:37.720 So that's why I believe they are scared. They know that we have a lot of people that are coming to our rallies
00:14:43.720 Not only here in Alberta, in Calgary, but I did rallies in Ontario
00:14:49.720 You know, you're not alone Albertans
00:14:51.720 You won't be the only one that will vote for the PPC
00:14:54.720 People in Ontario, people in Quebec, BBC
00:14:57.720 I did rallies all across the country
00:14:59.720 We have the biggest rallies
00:15:01.720 Look at the other candidates, leaders
00:15:03.720 They were not able to do rallies like that
00:15:06.720 We are having people that are coming to our rallies because they know that we are there for the facts
00:15:13.720 For the truth, for the science, for Canadians 0.96
00:15:16.720 And we are speaking the common sense
00:15:18.720 So I believe that this election will be a historical one
00:15:22.720 And like I said in my speech, it will be the start of a common sense revolution
00:15:27.720 Alright, well thank you very much for taking some time to talk to us
00:15:30.720 I know that you've got to get going, get back on the road to the next event
00:15:35.720 If anybody's looking for more information on you guys, on the PPC, where can they find the information?
00:15:41.720 I think they can call and speak to their candidates in their writing
00:15:47.720 But also they can go on our website, People's Party of Candidacy
00:15:51.720 All our policies are there
00:15:53.720 And they will say that this party is doing politics differently
00:15:57.720 Because we created that party based on four principles
00:16:01.720 Like I said, individual freedom, personal responsibility, respect and fairness
00:16:05.720 And all our policies are in line with these principles
00:16:09.720 So they can go and read that on our website, People's Party of Candidacy
00:16:13.720 They can follow me on Twitter, they can follow me on Instagram
00:16:17.720 And they will be able to know more if they want to know about us and the party
00:16:23.720 Great, well thank you for taking the time to speak with us today
00:16:25.720 I appreciate that, thank you for giving me that time, thank you
00:16:29.720 Thanks
00:16:31.720 Thank you
