I am here with Derek Sloan who has just announced that he is running as an
00:00:11.040
independent in the riding of Banff-Airdrie and I was just wondering why Alberta?
00:00:17.880
Well we started our movement out in Alberta and by that movement I mean the
00:00:23.560
true north movement we have the party paperwork in it has not been accepted in
00:00:28.080
time for this early election that was called out of a sense of entitlement by
00:00:33.840
Justin Trudeau so we decided to run you know some candidates in some areas I
00:00:38.340
felt that the Alberta needed to have one of our candidates out here and as the
00:00:43.380
leader of this movement I wanted to you know stake my territory in an area that
00:00:47.280
is held by the whip of the Conservative Party he's the one that's twisting arms
00:00:51.660
behind the scenes that's you know making all the MPs follow our tools dictates if
00:00:55.740
anybody in Alberta needs to be targeted it's this fellow and I also like the
00:01:00.300
area and we have a lot of support here but I wanted to be sure that my running
00:01:04.200
had symbolic overtures to it on every level and I think that this is the
00:01:07.800
perfect riding for them. So this is just the start then does that mean there is
00:01:11.880
going to be a party coming? Yes sir there will be a party coming soon in this
00:01:15.960
election we're going to be running technically as independents whoever wins
00:01:19.980
from this election will of course join my party after election will continue
00:01:24.540
touring and building the movement I believe that this election will end
00:01:27.900
again in a minority probably for Justin Trudeau and hopefully we'll have
00:01:31.200
another election very soon when I believe more corruption will come out in
00:01:35.220
relation to the handling of COVID and things like this so I'm going to be
00:01:39.180
fighting hard in this election but then preparing to fight even stronger in the
00:01:43.140
election to come. Do you have candidates running aligned with you in any of the
00:01:47.060
other ridings? So I will be making more announcements soon but I'm not at
00:01:51.380
liberty to say anything more tonight other than the fact that I will be riding
00:01:54.260
in Bamp Airdrie. We can't sneak that out of you as are you going to promise the
00:01:57.920
Western Standard the scoop when you're ready? Well I promise to talk to you if
00:02:01.340
you if you reach out to me but I like what you guys are doing and I will
00:02:04.660
certainly you guys will be you know on my list of people to notify when that time
00:02:09.480
comes. Who do you think your biggest challengers are going to be in this
00:02:12.920
riding? Are you concerned about the People's Party or the Maverick Party at all or
00:02:16.720
you just have your sights set on the CPC? Well this is going to be a two horse race
00:02:22.120
it's going to be Blake Richards and Derek Sloan. You know we've done our homework
00:02:26.440
we know the support that we have here you know more or less things things change
00:02:30.400
but the hope is that for those that are supporting the Maverick and the PPC
00:02:34.840
God bless both of those parties but support them in one of the other 337
00:02:39.320
ridings in this country. This is a riding that symbolically for me to win is good
00:02:45.220
for any of us it shows that the Conservatives are you know pregnable
00:02:50.380
and that it's symbolic for all three of you know myself and the other two
00:02:54.980
parties so I just ask them to stand down in whatever way they can and I'd be
00:02:58.980
happy to maybe help them in some of some other riding but this is a riding
00:03:02.840
that only I can win and we know that based on the support levels that we've seen
00:03:06.580
so a PPC or Maverick candidate is just going to detract from my potential to win
00:03:11.840
against Blake so I'm glad what they're doing in other ridings but you know let
00:03:17.120
me have a run at Blake here let me settle this once and for all and it'll be good
00:03:21.920
for all of us. What kind of events do you have coming up that the Western Standard
00:03:25.700
members might be interested in? Well so right now we're not doing we're not doing
