What Made Three Generations of Albertans Give Up on Canada?

[00:00:00]I used to fly Canadian flag. I used to be proud of my heritage.

[00:00:02]My family came to Canada in 60 and 60.

[00:00:04]And I believe in the freedoms that Canada used to stand for it.

[00:00:07]Yeah, but they no longer exist.

[00:00:08]Alberta still has those values, and it's still is worth fighting for.

[00:00:11]remember hanging up that Alberta, Canada flag at our school in 1965, Now, I look at that flag and I asked myself, what color is it?

[00:00:21]Well, it's red and white. What color is the Liberal Party?

[00:00:24]Red and white.

[00:00:25]how many maple trees do you see out west?

[00:00:27]Western Canadians carried that flag to Ottawa.

[00:00:32]And what did they do?

[00:00:34]they beat us up.

[00:00:35]They put us in jail.

[00:00:36]They called us names. They froze their bank accounts.

[00:00:38]and they want us to continue carrying her flag.

[00:00:42]Alberta still has those values, but the rest of Canada doesn't.

[00:00:44]don't believe they actually fought for a flag. No.

[00:00:48]They fought for freedom.

[00:00:49]a guy throw a chair through my window at home my daughter and her kids were there visiting, this guy came, picked up a chair that I had sitting outside.

[00:00:58]Serve.

[00:00:58]My mom went through my window, walked into my house, and was screaming his head off.

[00:01:04]Scared the shit out of my six year old grandson.

[00:01:07]The language that they use, the word that they use is traitor.

[00:01:10]And that carries some serious implications, because if you're a trader, you're implying that we're going to hang you or shoot you.

[00:01:15]Yeah, media and the politicians, they're the ones pushing this and then the the lowlifes, you know, on the bottom, they take it literally.

[00:01:24]might say, what freedoms do you think you don't have right now?

[00:01:27]Freedom of religion, Freedom of speech, bill. Si.

[00:01:29]Not and coming out.

[00:01:30]Take our free speech or private legally purchased property is being confiscated.

[00:01:34]Our guns.

[00:01:35]They want a carbon tax. Our animals.

[00:01:37]Which makes. They'll be able to own animals, own legal property.

[00:01:39]I'm only 19, so that's why I feel like it's worth fighting for.

[00:01:42]Because I'm a whole life ahead of me.

[00:01:44]the first clause in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives the government the right to take away all our other rights if they just decide, Those rights that the Americans have shall not be infringed.

[00:01:56]Yeah.

[00:01:56]We don't have similar language in Canada, but we could in Alberta.

[00:02:00]If we become independent.

[00:02:01]in every totalitarian system, the first thing to do is disarm the people. we used to be a high trust society here.

[00:02:06]I don't feel like that's happening anymore.

[00:02:08]we trust people that own guns.

[00:02:09]You're responsible.

[00:02:10]We just have a culture of responsibility.

[00:02:12]now they're taking the guns away because they're saying all this crime is happening, but it's like it's not, it's like the culture is changing.

[00:02:19]My message to gun owners.

[00:02:20]If you want to keep your guns, there's only one way, it's hard to get into the Forever Canadians.

[00:02:27]Mine too.

[00:02:28]And I, when I, whenever I encounter one, I feel like they're, they're shocked at my mere existence.

[00:02:35]It's like, how is it possible that someone who disagrees with me exists in this world?

[00:02:41]Nobody cares if. We vote or not.

[00:02:44]Yeah, nobody. Cares if.

[00:02:46]This will be the first time in Alberta's history or in Canada's history when Albertans vote counted for something, democracy's all they throw around to keep people happy.

[00:02:55]referendum and our, our, our option to leave Canada is kind of the last semblance of democracy that we have.

[00:03:02]she could just say, hey, we got you got a majority for this referendum.

[00:03:06]But actually I'm not going to do anything about it.

[00:03:08]Right.

[00:03:09]How she's done that with the Alberta Pension plan.

[00:03:11]She's done that with the Alberta Police Force.

[00:03:14]All of these little issues that we talked about, they're huge issues, pipelines and you know, all these are corruption in the government.

[00:03:23]These $250 butter.

[00:03:24]really the issue is freedom This is the problem I have with Ottawa is they're 3000 some kilometers away from us.

[00:03:31]And, they're completely different from us.

[00:03:33]There's like six different regions in between.

[00:03:36]They don't represent us.

[00:03:38]They don't they don't have the same values and dreams and perspective on the world and and, or the same culture and, and because of that, they, they try to impose their views on us Hey guys, I'm John.

[00:03:51]Welcome back to my channel.

[00:03:52]I am here at Paul's Pizza in Airdrie with my big blue beautiful flag showing my support for Alberta Independence.

[00:03:59]And I got a couple of friends with us.

[00:04:01]We got Wade and Daniel.

[00:04:04]How's it going, guys?

[00:04:05]Oh, good.

[00:04:06]Yeah. Awesome.

[00:04:07]Yeah, it was a great day. Awesome.

[00:04:09]So we're gonna walk around and talk in the parking lot and, flag and some people and, these, these two gentlemen have a really interesting story that you want to hear, so stick around.

[00:04:20]So let's walk. Around, okay? All right.

[00:04:23]All right.

[00:04:23]So, we we already met a few times, but, Yeah, it's been a few times.

[00:04:28]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:29]Well, so tell me, what got you interested in independence?

[00:04:32]What's your story? Well, I've always been.

[00:04:36]I see, I was MC servant of pro Freedom.

[00:04:38]Yeah, my whole life.

[00:04:40]I was recently this last election especially, that made me, you know, very pro-independence because I saw that Canada.

[00:04:47]Honestly, it's it's hopeless.

[00:04:49]Frankly, it's sad.

[00:04:50]But given the way the East continues to vote, even with Alberta's votes, it doesn't make a difference. Yeah.

[00:04:56]So I would say, yeah, I've always been a conservative. I, yeah, I've seen like I lived in Brazil for five years.

[00:05:03]Yeah.

[00:05:04]So I've seen the dangers of communism, socialism and what it does down the road.

[00:05:08]Yeah. My family was persecuted politically down there.

[00:05:11]Yeah. Because of our beliefs. And I would say. Yeah.

[00:05:13]Now seeing what the liberals are doing is exactly what the communists down there were doing.

[00:05:18]Yeah. Yeah. So yeah.

[00:05:21]Yeah. That's interesting.

[00:05:21]So I want to hear more about being in Brazil and all that.

[00:05:24]But first I want to hear from way too.

[00:05:26]So you said that this is a conservative.

[00:05:29]You mean conservative. Focus on that.

[00:05:32]But I'm more like, I don't think that this is, a conservative per se movement.

[00:05:37]But traditional values have always been like a type of traditional values.

[00:05:40]I've always I've always been pro freedom.

[00:05:42]I don't actually stick to political party.

[00:05:44]Yeah, but I'm pro freedom.

[00:05:45]I pro I don't I just want to live life, you know, and not have to have my freedom taken away. Yeah.

[00:05:51]Like conserve our culture. Exactly.

[00:05:54]And I think.

[00:05:55]This is what happens when you do live videos outside.

[00:05:58]It's like we.

[00:05:58]Yeah, we want to conserve our culture and our heritage. Right?

[00:06:02]And so, Hey, that's why I like coming out to outside places, because you get the random interactions from people and we're kind of flagging the traffic.

[00:06:15]So check. Let's keep walking.

[00:06:18]So, so.

[00:06:18]But we'd, you think, like this move?

[00:06:22]It's about conserving our culture and our heritage and.

[00:06:26]Like, standing on our own two feet and, carrying our own stuff in this life.

[00:06:33]Yeah.

[00:06:34]And, you know, we don't need to be regulated by people that live 3000, 4000 miles away.

[00:06:41]Yeah.

[00:06:42]And, I actually in the early 80s, I was living in Hampshire, and I was a red seal welder.

[00:06:48]Yeah.

[00:06:49]And, Carol Trudeau introduced a National Energy policy.

[00:06:54]I was in my early 20s and wasn't paying attention.

[00:06:57]I just knew I needed to find a job. Yeah.

[00:07:00]So I got a job working up in Tunnel Ridge at a coal mine, and I bought a little holiday trailer.

[00:07:08]Yeah. And I told it up by the Murray River.

[00:07:11]And I lived in the bush until, about the middle of December when we finally sold our house in Hinton.

[00:07:19]And then I moved my wife and her son up to Tom Ridge.

[00:07:22]Yeah.

[00:07:23]And it was a tumbler.

[00:07:25]It was years later, later, that I discovered what actually happened because I didn't know.

[00:07:32]Yeah.

[00:07:33]And, I can see it happening again.

[00:07:37]Only it's worse this time.

[00:07:38]And my grandchildren need to live in a free country, and they need to have the ability to prosper.

[00:07:44]Yeah.

[00:07:46]Well, it's interesting you bring this up because, like, we kind of represent three generations here.

[00:07:51]Like, I'm kind of in the middle. Okay. Yeah.

[00:07:54]Yeah I know. Yeah. I didn't even think of that.

[00:07:56]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:07:56]I mean, I'm, I'm 19 then. Yes, I'm. I'm 40.

[00:08:00]I'm 67. You're like 37.

[00:08:03]Yeah. Okay.

[00:08:05]That's like the exact same distance.

[00:08:06]Perfect. Yeah.

[00:08:08]Well, yeah.

[00:08:08]So we represent a three generations of Albertans, and, we got different stories, but the the hopes and dreams are the same.

[00:08:17]You know. Freedom. Exactly.

[00:08:19]You know, and that's all I feel is like I used to fly Canadian flag.

[00:08:23]I used to be proud of my heritage.

[00:08:24]My family came to Canada in 60 and 60.

[00:08:26]So we've I've like we've I've we fought all the wars.

[00:08:29]We've been we built this country.

[00:08:31]And I believe in the freedoms that Canada used to stand for it.

[00:08:34]Yeah, but they no longer exist. They're gone in Canada.

[00:08:37]Alberta still has those values, and it's still is worth fighting for.

[00:08:40]But the rest of Canada sadly no longer as it it's no longer existed.

[00:08:44]Yeah.

[00:08:44]I don't know what it means to be Canadian.

[00:08:47]Like after Trudeau says it's a post-national state, it's like anybody can just come here and become Canadian.

[00:08:54]It doesn't mean anything to be Canadian anymore.

[00:08:56]Exactly right. It's just like a passport.

[00:09:00]That's the only thing we share in common with these guys.

[00:09:02]That we give to people after a year.

[00:09:03]Yeah, I remember, I remember hanging up that Alberta, Canada flag at our school in 1965, not thinking too much about it.

[00:09:15]Now, I look at that flag and I asked myself, what color is it?

[00:09:20]Well, it's red and white.

[00:09:21]What color is the Liberal Party?

[00:09:24]Red and white. I make the same association.

[00:09:26]And how many maple trees do you see out west?

[00:09:29]Yeah. None. That doesn't grow here. Oh.

[00:09:32]That flag really doesn't represent Canada.

[00:09:35]It represents the Laurentian elite.

[00:09:38]Yeah.

[00:09:39]Well, it's like when when they were making that symbol, they're like, let's have a Canadian flag with a maple leaf.

[00:09:45]The people in Ottawa, the French, an elite.

[00:09:47]They looked around and they're like, what?

[00:09:49]What symbolizes everything that we see, everything that represents our ideas.

[00:09:53]And, you know, from their perspective.

[00:09:55]Like that makes sense, right?

[00:09:56]Except that it doesn't represent anything on Canada other than that little tiny geographical area by the Toronto to Ottawa to Montreal.

[00:10:04]That's right.

[00:10:05]Yeah, exactly.

[00:10:06]Like we are different and they want to just last us.

[00:10:09]And you know, my sister, she lives in Ontario.

[00:10:12]I told them, like, Albertans have unique culture, unique heritage.

[00:10:15]We want to preserve it.

[00:10:16]That's what independence is about.

[00:10:18]And she's like, no, you guys are just like us.

[00:10:21]And I'm like, they just want to force it.

[00:10:22]I would strongly disagree with that.

[00:10:24]Like, I've lived in Ontario.

[00:10:25]I lived in B.C. and as soon as me, my brother came Alberta, we told her, like, this is different.

[00:10:29]Like the whole culture, the sense of freedom.

[00:10:31]It's a whole it's like a different country.

[00:10:33]Yeah. And that's when you have a second biggest country in the world. You.

[00:10:36]It will not all be the same.

[00:10:37]You'll have places and it never will work out when you have such huge countries.

[00:10:41]They eventually fall apart because everyone has their own culture.

[00:10:44]Quebec has its own. Ontario has its own.

[00:10:46]Alberta has on. BC has its own. Like, yeah, we can't.

[00:10:49]Yeah, well, I've come to the conclusion that Canada's too big to be effectively governed.

[00:10:54]There's there's different groups with different needs.

[00:10:57]And, you know, God bless them.

[00:10:58]Everybody can have their own dreams and hopes for the future.

[00:11:01]And preserve their culture. But we're two different.

[00:11:03]If you make one group of us happy, like Quebec, you piss off Alberta.

[00:11:08]And that's just the two biggest groups.

[00:11:10]But like, every little region is so different to just be looped into one, it doesn't make sense.

[00:11:17]And also, Western Canadians carried that flag to Ottawa.

[00:11:24]And what did they do? Yeah, they beat us up.

[00:11:28]They put us in jail.

[00:11:29]They called us names.

[00:11:30]They froze their bank accounts.

[00:11:32]They're still they still want to put Tamera Lynch and Chris Barber in jail.

[00:11:37]Yeah.

[00:11:37]And now and they want us to continue carrying her flag.

[00:11:41]Yeah.

[00:11:41]How arrogant can you get?

[00:11:43]Yeah, we carry that flag.

[00:11:45]And you know what?

[00:11:46]That whole trucker convoy was actually about unity, too.

[00:11:49]I know, I know some of the leaders in that movement, and they were all about unity.

[00:11:54]Right?

[00:11:54]And, and then that's how we got treated by Canada.

[00:11:57]So we don't want to be part of this. We're not part of this.

[00:11:59]That's right.

[00:12:00]Yeah.

[00:12:00]Well, and honestly, it is in some ways like when you actually about it is sad in some ways because like my grandparents, they fought under the Canadian flag or the the Maple Leafs all came by in World War two and World War one, the Korean War.

[00:12:12]We fought all these wars.

[00:12:13]We built this country to what it was, and we always flew a Canadian flag.

[00:12:17]But it's just seeing where Canada has gone.

[00:12:19]It's not the Canada we built. It's not Canada.

[00:12:21]We knew Alberta still has those values, but the rest of Canada doesn't.

[00:12:24]Yeah. And it's nothing like what we can.

[00:12:25]And we knew it. But we built.

[00:12:27]I don't believe they actually fought for a flag.

[00:12:31]No. They fought for freedom. Yeah.

[00:12:34]And it wouldn't have mattered from these people.

[00:12:36]It wouldn't have mattered what country they lived in.

[00:12:39]They would have went and fought for their freedom.

[00:12:41]Exactly.

[00:12:43]Well, and one point I'll make, though, is like during World War two, we had a different flag. Right.

[00:12:47]And you had that flag actually left for the last time I met you?

[00:12:50]Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. My brother, Read it.

[00:12:54]Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[00:12:55]Yeah. And so, you know. But.

[00:12:57]Okay, look, the symbols change.

[00:12:58]But, I don't think people fought for a flag.

[00:13:03]They fought for freedom.

[00:13:04]That's right.

[00:13:05]I mean, is what it used to represent.

[00:13:06]Like, now the the Canadian flag literally represents tyranny.

[00:13:11]The liberal like it.

[00:13:12]And just completely like, utilitarian oppression is what it represents.

[00:13:15]Now, you never used to, but that's what it is.

[00:13:17]Yeah.

[00:13:19]And I find it really strange that now you, you you fly in Alberta, flag in Alberta, and other Albertans are giving you the finger.

[00:13:31]Yeah.

[00:13:31]Well, like, you guys have been watching closely than I have.

[00:13:34]Have you gotten any you seen any any reactions from the public?

[00:13:38]But several people also. Thumbs up. Yeah. So.

[00:13:41]Well, I had a guy throw a chair through my window at home and.

[00:13:44]Tell us a story.

[00:13:46]Well, actually, I was at the leader's dinner in red deer, and my daughter and her kids were there visiting, spending the night.

[00:13:54]Yeah.

[00:13:54]And my wife was home, and I got home from the dinner and there's a chair hanging out my window and glass all over.

[00:14:03]Well, apparently, this guy came, picked up a chair that I had sitting outside.

[00:14:08]Serve.

[00:14:08]My mom went through my window, walked into my house, and was screaming his head off.

[00:14:14]Scared the shit out of my six year old grandson.

[00:14:17]And my and my daughter and the two year old was upstairs.

[00:14:22]She was just about getting put to sleep when all of this happened.

[00:14:26]Yeah.

[00:14:27]That's so my daughter came barreling down the stairs and she told my grandson to get upstairs.

[00:14:33]And after it was done, he came back down and he told his mom and grandma that he was scared to cry in case that guy heard him.

[00:14:42]Yeah. So that's.

[00:14:43]The last trauma caught.

[00:14:44]On the 27th of this month? Yeah.

[00:14:47]I'm going to court again in Red deer for see what's going to happen to this guy.

[00:14:52]Yeah, well, and I hear so much about violence and incidences, I, I my previous video is, I interviewed the guy from, cool shit red or wholesale and Red deer.

[00:15:03]Oh, yeah.

[00:15:03]They smashed his windows, right?

[00:15:06]For forever Canada.

[00:15:07]Yeah. You know, that's like, here's the thing.

[00:15:09]The language that they use, the word that they use is traitor.

[00:15:13]And that carries some serious implications, because if you're a trader, you you're you're implying that we're going to hang you or shoot you.

[00:15:19]Yeah, right.

[00:15:20]And it's like, okay, the media and the politicians, they're the ones pushing this and then the the lowlifes, you know, on the bottom, they take it literally.

[00:15:30]You know, and sir.

[00:15:32]And if you actually look like people always try to call the police while you're, you know, racist, violent, whatever.

[00:15:37]I've never done anything racist. Never anything violent.

[00:15:39]They're the ones who are always doing windows and, you know, swearing at us.

[00:15:43]I've never sworn at anybody, but I've had it done to me so many times.

[00:15:46]And it's like, literally all we want is freedom.

[00:15:49]Like, I'm not trod on me and, like, offensive.

[00:15:52]And I'm like, all I want is to also raise a family, get married, have kids, buy land without my freedoms being oppressed and just be able to live in freedom.

[00:16:00]And that's really all that it's about, is if I can't oppose that first.

[00:16:04]Right now, we want that freedom and people.

[00:16:09]Somebody else wants that freedom to.

[00:16:11]Yeah.

[00:16:12]Yeah. No.

[00:16:12]And that's just about violence is like the always try to call us out on it.

[00:16:16]And it's like, when's the last time we did anything like that?

[00:16:18]Okay, so let me ask you a hard question because I like to kind of push back on my videos, and I imagine that a forever Canadian watching this, they might say, what freedoms do you think you don't have right now?

[00:16:29]Like what's free and taken away from you much?

[00:16:32]Yeah. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech.

[00:16:34]Well, well, I can give examples. Covid.

[00:16:36]We have pastors being imprisoned.

[00:16:38]Freedom of speech, bill. Si. Not and coming out.

[00:16:40]Take our free speech or private legally purchased property is being confiscated.

[00:16:45]Our guns.

[00:16:45]They want a carbon tax. Our animals.

[00:16:48]Which makes. They'll be able to own animals, own legal property.

[00:16:51]There's a lot.

[00:16:52]And just like there's been a lot.

[00:16:54]Like I'm only 19, so that's why I feel like it's worth fighting for.

[00:16:57]Because I'm a whole life ahead of me.

[00:16:59]And if I'm gonna live, this is like, I can't win.

[00:17:03]Like, down the road. You look where this is all going.

[00:17:05]It's just going to get worse.

[00:17:07]Every bill they pass, they're like, okay, now parts of the Bible, I'm not protected.

[00:17:10]Like, if it's like it used to be freedom of religion, I could see the Bible and it would be fine.

[00:17:15]Now, if you could risk jail time fines for just quoting parts of the Bible.

[00:17:20]This was built as a Christian country, but now they're banning parts of the Bible.

[00:17:23]And that's a huge a freedom of religion, freedom of speech.

[00:17:26]Right now, if I say anything about gay anything, I can go to jail, I can be fined.

[00:17:30]I know people who've been and there's freedom of speech is gone, are free.

[00:17:33]Like, well, excuse me.

[00:17:35]So overall, a lot of our freedoms are being eroded.

[00:17:37]Yeah.

[00:17:38]Well and it's interesting you bring this up because the first clause in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives the government the right to take away all our other rights if they just decide, the decision is made by a politician they like.

[00:17:50]Okay.

[00:17:51]Well, in a free and democratic society, this this shouldn't be allowed.

[00:17:55]And that's the excuse they always say.

[00:17:57]And then they just take away whatever they want.

[00:17:59]And so they'll say, you know, but the American system, you know, it's not the best.

[00:18:03]It's not it could be better, I mean, but it is the best in the world.

[00:18:06]Those rights that the Americans have shall not be infringed.

[00:18:11]Yeah.

[00:18:12]We don't have similar language in Canada, but we could in Alberta.

[00:18:15]If we become independent.

[00:18:17]It wouldn't matter what the language is.

[00:18:19]It's obvious that the liberals will do whatever the hell they want, whenever they want, as much as they want.

[00:18:26]And there's absolutely nothing anybody can do about it.

[00:18:30]And do what holds them accountable. Like Dutch.

[00:18:32]Village.

[00:18:33]Shooting rebel news journalists with tear gas, they shall.

[00:18:36]Rubber bullets tramples people with horses and then no, it holds them accountable.

[00:18:40]And that's the point.

[00:18:41]It's got to where people peaceful protesting.

[00:18:43]So there's another point about a free minute takeaway.

[00:18:45]That's another great example.

[00:18:47]People go peacefully protesting and look how they're met.

[00:18:49]That's Colombia style, tactics.

[00:18:53]Okay.

[00:18:53]Well, this is a good point for a seat for you to tell us your backstory because you said you came from Brazil, you lived in Brazil for five years and you know, all about, peaceful protesting and how that gets treated down there.

[00:19:04]Yeah. Under. Under Lula.

[00:19:06]Yeah. So, I'll serve in the beginning because it's free.

[00:19:11]So my family went to Brazil in 2020 during the Covid lockdowns because, well, this is about lockdowns.

[00:19:20]I didn't want to be part of it.

[00:19:21]So we went to Brazil and we started off.

[00:19:24]We just started farming down there very peacefully.

[00:19:26]It's a family of ten kids, so we're all home schooled, unvaccinated and really even us going out of the whole point was to have our freedom.

[00:19:34]But like, we weren't doing anything. We were just living.

[00:19:36]Our farm wants to raise the kids and that's it.

[00:19:39]Yeah.

[00:19:40]And we when we went down, the Bolsonaro was the president.

[00:19:42]Now, he may have had his flaws, but I personally really like him.

[00:19:45]He was did I he made, homeschooling legal, freedom of speech.

[00:19:50]What was allowed which which I'll get you right now.

[00:19:53]That's frickin practically non-existent.

[00:19:55]And just there's a lot of things he was doing that were making so much freer of a country.

[00:19:59]Some of your family left Canada deliberately to go to Brazil because you saw already the writing on the wall back then, our freedom was being taken away.

[00:20:07]Yep. And a huge thing.

[00:20:09]It was, Bolsonaro was not enforcing vaccine passports.

[00:20:14]So Bolsonaro was not enforcing any of the vaccines, the lockdowns, the passports.

[00:20:18]So that was a massive thing for us, because no matter what your belief is on vaccines, you should have the right to buy these on.

[00:20:24]You have the right to choose what we put in our body.

[00:20:26]So I personally didn't get Covaxin.

[00:20:29]I think it's a complete death shot.

[00:20:31]But even if for people who think it's got, you should have the right to choose.

[00:20:34]Yeah. And Canada was clearly taking that away.

[00:20:37]People were being not allowed to go to gyms or Lego movie theaters or malls shutting down unless you a vaccine, you've been vaccinated.

[00:20:43]So that was a big part of us leaving was Bolsonaro was not doing that in Brazil.

[00:20:47]So we went to Brazil for about.

[00:20:49]And then two years in, in 2022, there was the election in Brazil and to, the Bolsonaro, his opposition, Lula and Alexandra de Moraes.

[00:21:00]He was the head of the Supreme Court in Brazil.

[00:21:02]And they are sided super closely with the cartels and with the drug dealers.

[00:21:07]And they also Lula's vice president used to be a member of the communist of the Brazilian Communist Party.

[00:21:12]So it is literally a Communist party down there.

[00:21:15]And then, of course, there was complications with the election.

[00:21:18]A lot of people said it was stolen, which I believe also.

[00:21:20]So people began to take to the streets in peaceful protests.

[00:21:24]Everything was peaceful.

[00:21:25]And on October, in October, I forgot it.

[00:21:27]I think it was 8 million Brazilians took to the streets.

[00:21:30]Yeah. So it was all peaceful.

[00:21:33]They're all just there waving Brazilian flags.

[00:21:35]And then on January 8th, they actually went to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, and to protest there.

[00:21:42]And that's protest, unlawful government that had come through.

[00:21:45]And when they came to the Parliament buildings, they said the glass was smashed, there was graffiti everywhere and it spills.

[00:21:52]There are people there wearing masks and like, who went there first and then left and then after the protesters came and so everything was ready, smashed and all of them got arrested and put in jail, in solitary confinement on a ledge because, you know, because they're smashing it, allegedly.

[00:22:10]And then Paul scenario, actually went on and told everyone he's like, we accept the election results.

[00:22:16]It's, you know, we'll try again in four years.

[00:22:18]And he still got arrested for an alleged coup.

[00:22:22]And he said, it's 29 years of jail. Yeah.

[00:22:24]So that's all I said.

[00:22:25]It's he's in his late 60s. Yeah.

[00:22:27]So but I mean, it sounds a lot like the same kind of corruption pattern that we see in in Canada.

[00:22:32]It's just a little bit less extreme because they don't shoot the protesters here that often.

[00:22:37]Yeah.

[00:22:37]Which is which is why, I'm everything he said about the freedoms, being taken away is true.

[00:22:44]But my point is, it's just kind of starting now, and, and I'm just concerned about how far it's going to go.

[00:22:53]We're going to end up being like the UK.

[00:22:56]Yeah. If we don't do something. Exactly.

[00:22:59]So with the leftist got three years in a row, then I'll go like on Covid straight out because out that we're coming to power in Brazil.

[00:23:06]Some of the immediate actions that they did resemble virtual liberals are doing now.

[00:23:09]Yeah.

[00:23:09]Where gun bans, for example, they began taking over people's firearms and they a.

[00:23:15]Lot of it always starts with the firearms getting. Taken away.

[00:23:17]You get to that.

[00:23:18]People like, I am a massive I do not advocate gun violence, but I believe people should own guns.

[00:23:24]And it's people who are sane, like, you know, lunatics shouldn't.

[00:23:27]But I think we should have the right to bear arms, because in every totalitarian system, the first thing to do is disarm the people.

[00:23:33]If you look in the Soviet Union, the first thing I did was disarm everyone.

[00:23:36]They killed 100 million people. Communist China.

[00:23:39]Guess what? I've wait till the hundred 20 million people. Cambodia.

[00:23:41]They went door to door, kicked down the door, disarmed everyone.

[00:23:44]And then they killed one third to half the population.

[00:23:46]And Venezuela, where my wife's from two. They found the guns.

[00:23:49]Next thing coming out my mouth is gonna be Venezuela. Yeah.

[00:23:51]And that's so that within a week of coming to power, that's the first thing the communists did in Brazil was you banning guns.

[00:23:57]But like.

[00:23:57]But like, I just want to see some of that because, like, we used to be a high trust society here.

[00:24:01]I don't feel like that's happening anymore.

[00:24:03]And in a high trust society, everybody, you know, we trust people that own guns.

[00:24:08]You're responsible.

[00:24:08]We just have a culture of responsibility.

[00:24:11]Hey, like we never used to hear about the kind of violence and crimes that's happening now, especially out Ontario, the East in Vancouver.

[00:24:17]And, you know, it's like, you know, and so now they're taking the guns away because they're saying all this crime is happening, but it's like it's not, it's like the culture is changing.

[00:24:26]They're doing it to us.

[00:24:28]And people also want to call of gun violence.

[00:24:31]This last year, not a single hour or so.

[00:24:33]That's a restricted possession acquisition license committed a single violent gun crime.

[00:24:37]Yeah.

[00:24:38]So banning or legally purchased firearms will not make the slightest difference.

[00:24:42]No. A 96 something for 86% of gun crimes are committed using illegally smuggle up handguns.

[00:24:49]Something that states. Yeah.

[00:24:50]And how the liberals respond to that is not closing down the border and sealing the border to stop these little weapons coming through.

[00:24:56]But it's banning our legally purchased guns that don't make the size difference.

[00:24:59]Yeah.

[00:25:00]So it's just going to demoralize us and make us submit to that.

[00:25:05]And it's not going to actually solve any of the problem.

[00:25:08]But they're just flexing their muscles because they know they can.

[00:25:12]Well, they know that.

[00:25:14]Yeah.

[00:25:14]Well, they're hoping that we're going to be pushovers.

[00:25:16]But look what's happening in Alberta.

[00:25:17]Like, here's the thing. My message to gun owners.

[00:25:20]If you want to keep your guns, there's only one way, okay?

[00:25:25]And it's dead.

[00:25:26]Leave Canada because the once they take the guns away, you're never gonna get them back.

[00:25:30]You think?

[00:25:31]Oh, a future conservative government is going to flip it over, and you're just going to hold on to your prohibited guns?

[00:25:36]Another conservative. Gun?

[00:25:37]Yeah.

[00:25:38]You're going to hold on your prohibited guns for, like, a couple of years.

[00:25:42]And no, you know what's going to happen.

[00:25:43]Your neighbor, your ex-wife, somebody you run into, you you at the bar, you say some.

[00:25:49]Oh, okay, now you got your prohibited guns.

[00:25:51]The police are going to kick your door down.

[00:25:53]They're going to make an example of you.

[00:25:55]They're going to start making examples out of people.

[00:25:57]This is only the beginning.

[00:25:58]That's what I always tell people is it's guns are it's not just guns.

[00:26:01]They they're doing guns so that they can because once they seize the only property, you have to defend yourself.

[00:26:06]You're defenseless. Like what? They did that in Venezuela.

[00:26:08]They took someone's guns and then they should, start kicking people off their farms, sorting their animals, saying, yeah, and no, nobody can stop them.

[00:26:14]So Chile and Brazil, they ban the guns, and then immediately they banned home schooling. Yeah.

[00:26:18]And they mandated vaccines.

[00:26:20]They began imprisoning people with zero proof and zero warrants or anything.

[00:26:25]They just kicked down the door in prison, solitary confinement with no, no job, no trial, nothing.

[00:26:30]You know, and the first thing before any of that was banning people's guns.

[00:26:33]So I would and just seeing a lot of the agendas that the that Lula and me has had on Brazil line up so perfectly with the liberals now a Canada.

[00:26:43]Yeah.

[00:26:43]And it's also you realize that's exactly where I want to see Canada would be like that if we didn't have I think Alberta Albertans having the many guns that we have is the only reason why we're not.

[00:26:53]Because if we didn't have them, I think they'd have to be able to take the gloves off.

[00:26:56]But the only reason why now they're moving slow is because Albertans are hard.

[00:27:00]And that's my personal belief.

[00:27:01]And when you saw when I saw what happened out there, it was frickin scary because they was some people's door houses in the night and arrest them, take em out.

[00:27:09]It's like. And the and the people can't do anything. The.

[00:27:18]The people.

[00:27:18]There's a lot of support for pass.

[00:27:20]Yeah, well, no, I think you got a strong point there because, if they knew that, well, if they knew that we didn't have guns, they would be much more bold with taking our freedoms away at this point.

[00:27:32]But now that the first step is they're gonna get rid of that.

[00:27:36]Disarming is always the first step, and people will start doing.

[00:27:39]That's all they'll do is like, no, look at their agenda.

[00:27:42]What Carney has openly talked about doing propaganda.

[00:27:45]The media.

[00:27:47]Yeah, take away the guns. Yeah.

[00:27:49]And then the freedoms are next.

[00:27:51]Yeah. Exactly.

[00:27:52]Well and like we've just seen a pattern of our freedoms getting eroded this whole like all this whole suite of bills that Kearney's coming up with bills C9 Bill C 22.

[00:28:02]Like they want to, take your data off your phone for a whole year.

[00:28:05]And then the what's other one that leading to a digital ID like you're under 16, you're going to be banned from using the internet.

[00:28:13]But then the rest of us have to put in a government ID in order to use it.

[00:28:18]Banning what you can share on certain websites, like make it Facebook.

[00:28:23]Take our like, I don't know how it actually works. Right.

[00:28:26]They changed the law, the Facebook ads to pay for the ads to use the news articles.

[00:28:30]But like the effect of that is that we don't share news.

[00:28:33]Our thanks. Okay, so I'm back.

[00:28:36]I don't know where that cut off, but you were just talking about England.

[00:28:40]You said that there's good bands that happen there.

[00:28:42]I have a coffee waiting for me.

[00:28:45]A coffee? Yeah, well. Let's walk back to.

[00:28:47]This is the restaurants go around the corner.

[00:28:48]All right. Yeah.

[00:28:50]So you were talking about how there's, gun bans in the UK?

[00:28:55]Well, they did exactly what Canada has done now.

[00:28:57]Yeah.

[00:28:58]And if you look, crime has only gone out right now.

[00:29:00]Crime is like triple the amount that it was.

[00:29:03]When people can buy guns, rape is up like 12% or.

[00:29:06]But not 12% 12 times.

[00:29:08]Yeah.

[00:29:09]What it used to be if and crazy influx of crime.

[00:29:12]It is nothing to do if it got so people are disarmed and what do they do now?

[00:29:15]They're stabbing each other. They're hacking each other apart.

[00:29:17]And yeah, people will always find me like people always try to blame guns for violence.

[00:29:22]But there's more homicides committed with vehicles and with guns.

[00:29:24]Yeah, but why wouldn't he?

[00:29:25]Why aren't we, screening? Who buys cars?

[00:29:28]It, for example.

[00:29:29]Or, like, if anyone actually kill somebody, they'll run a truck and they'll.

[00:29:32]It's like there's not guns they try to outlaw.

[00:29:36]But that's not the cause of crime. Yeah.

[00:29:40]We used to live in a high trust society, and I feel like we don't anymore.

[00:29:44]Yeah.

[00:29:46]Hey, waiter is nice chatting with you.

[00:29:48]Thank you very much for all you, John.

[00:29:50]Yeah, really appreciate it.

[00:29:51]Yeah. Thanks. Well, definitely.

[00:29:53]We'll definitely see around a little bit more.

[00:29:55]I sat in the shade and talk.

[00:29:56]A little bit more here.

[00:29:58]Yeah.

[00:29:59]Well, okay. So, you have you such an interesting story though.

[00:30:04]Yeah.

[00:30:05]But, I think you represent, you know, a lot of people in Alberta.

[00:30:09]There's many.

[00:30:10]Yeah, they're seeing you again. I thought, man.

[00:30:11]Oh, yeah. We'll see you again.

[00:30:13]Yeah, yeah.

[00:30:14]I think that your story needs to be heard.

[00:30:16]You know, there's a lot of people who think just like you.

[00:30:18]And, I think pretty much just like you on a lot of these issues here, and.

[00:30:22]Yeah, you know, but you don't see a lot of young people.

[00:30:26]That's kind of why it's interesting to see you around at all these things, like.

[00:30:29]Well, yeah, a lot of them.

[00:30:31]I mean, they're lazy, quite frankly.

[00:30:32]And I like people I even, I don't know, young guys.

[00:30:35]And they're like, oh yeah, we'll rise up, you know, we'll do something, but they won't even come to these events.

[00:30:39]And it's like, are you really going to do anything?

[00:30:42]Or they're like, when it gets so extreme, we'll join a movement or rise up, take up arms. It ever.

[00:30:46]And it's like, no, it's like, no you won't if you're not going to willing to be here with a flag, you're not gonna quite like it.

[00:30:52]But honestly, there's a lot of young people like, I don't have tons of friends.

[00:30:55]They all support it. Especially young guys especially.

[00:30:57]Yeah, but it's all but they just don't like to leave the work.

[00:31:01]I did something good getting married, but also, honestly, they're a little lazy and that's, Yeah, I know there's probably a whole bunch of excuses hard to get into their mind.

[00:31:10]It's it's hard to get into the Forever Canadians.

[00:31:13]Mine too.

[00:31:14]And I, when I, whenever I encounter one, I feel they don't I, I feel like they, I feel like they're, they're shocked at my mere existence.

[00:31:26]It's like, how is it possible that someone who disagrees with me exists in this world?

[00:31:32]That's what the Forever Canadians seem to be like.

[00:31:35]Yeah, yeah. They obviously.

[00:31:36]Can't think through and problem solve, can. They? Yeah.

[00:31:40]Well, and that's the thing I'm like, I don't know.

[00:31:42]You know, I am like my cameras whenever it's blinking red it's running.

[00:31:47]It's I gotta keep an eye on that.

[00:31:49]But like I, I feel like the, the they haven't thought this through all the way.

[00:31:56]There's, there's like there's two kinds, you know, there's the kind that are like the actual leftists, Canadians who just actually like what's going on.

[00:32:03]And then there's the conservative Canadians who just haven't yet.

[00:32:08]They agree with everything we say, but they haven't yet gotten themselves to the next step.

[00:32:12]Yeah. We're not hungry enough. Yeah.

[00:32:15]Let me try to hold on to some belief that, no, it can be fixed.

[00:32:18]We can hold, you know, we can say it, salvage it. Yeah.

[00:32:20]But I used to like before I, I was like, you know, we can break through somehow fix this country.

[00:32:25]But given, usually it's given the hordes of immigrants that are, according to the East, it's all destroyed.

[00:32:30]It's completely polluted there.

[00:32:32]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:32:33]And that's honestly, that's so east now, even, like, like this last election, they called the election before counting Alberta's votes because our votes were not enough.

[00:32:42]Even if every single person Alberta voted for the conservatives, it would have not been enough to get a conservative prime minister. So.

[00:32:48]So here's just a little point of fact on a definition of a democracy.

[00:32:52]We've never lived in a democracy because in a true democracy, every vote counts equal.

[00:32:59]Nobody cares if.

[00:33:00]We vote or not. Yeah, nobody. Cares if.

[00:33:03]This will be the first time in Alberta's history or in Canada's history when Albertans vote counted for something, right?

[00:33:10]And it'll be a big one.

[00:33:12]There's people honking at us saying, this is the first time in Alberta minister candidate Canada's history when a no Burnsville count for us.

[00:33:18]We have never lived in a democracy.

[00:33:20]Yeah, look it up.

[00:33:22]Yeah, well, no, I, I get what you're saying.

[00:33:24]It's like the way the system is set up is it's rigged so that the eastern vote will always be represented more than than the Western vote.

[00:33:33]We're a colony.

[00:33:34]It's it could be any.

[00:33:35]Kind of government, though, John. Yeah.

[00:33:37]It's that right. It's the fact that there.

[00:33:40]Is a percentage of. Votes that don't count.

[00:33:42]Yeah. Nobody cares. Yeah.

[00:33:45]Like say the the young gentleman's right.

[00:33:47]Yeah.

[00:33:47]It doesn't matter if Western Canada votes. Yeah.

[00:33:50]And so that by.

[00:33:51]Definition yeah cancels this.

[00:33:53]The democracy democracy's all they throw around to keep people happy.

[00:33:57]Yeah.

[00:33:58]But I'm optimistic I think that the referendum and our, our, our option to leave Canada is kind of the last semblance of democracy that we have.

[00:34:10]And we'll see if we actually are allowed to go through with it, because they might find us tooth and nail, but we would if we get a majority.

[00:34:16]Do you think that this will actually happen?

[00:34:18]I think it will.

[00:34:19]No, I know, no, I don't know.

[00:34:21]As long as as Danielle's in there. Yeah.

[00:34:23]Because this isn't a binding vote.

[00:34:26]But like the the next one would be. Yeah.

[00:34:28]Well if she lets it happen, maybe should just kick it down the road till we're all old and that.

[00:34:32]Yeah, I wish she, she very well could, she could just say, hey, we got you got a majority for this referendum.

[00:34:38]But actually I'm not going to do anything about it.

[00:34:40]Right.

[00:34:41]How she's done that with the Alberta Pension plan.

[00:34:44]She's done that with the Alberta Police Force.

[00:34:47]She's done that with all the balanced budget.

[00:34:50]Yeah, she has done nothing except yeah, yeah, that will continue past performance.

[00:34:57]No predicts future. Behavior.

[00:35:00]So then what are our options in that case when she says you got a majority on this referendum to have a referendum.

[00:35:07]But I'm just going to ignore you.

[00:35:09]Oh, we got to get her out.

[00:35:11]Yeah, that wouldn't go. Wouldn't go.

[00:35:12]Well, no, Albertans would just turf her.

[00:35:16]I mean, the whole party would be gone.

[00:35:18]Well, yeah.

[00:35:19]So we took her for, let's say, 60%, 70% of UCP base turf, sir.

[00:35:25]But that other 30%, they jump over to the lake has a kind of liberal conservative motto.

[00:35:31]He's going to create.

[00:35:32]More faith in Alberta than that.

[00:35:33]You do?

[00:35:34]Yeah. We're conservative through the bone. Yeah.

[00:35:37]If if you're working under that premise, you're working on her fear.

[00:35:40]Yeah. That's what we're trying to get out from under.

[00:35:42]Yeah. Is people ruling by fear?

[00:35:45]Yeah. It's like, you know what? Somebody else will show up.

[00:35:48]Christ, there's another Bussell.

[00:35:50]Come along. They always do. Yeah, well, I mean, I.

[00:35:54]Think she's special.

[00:35:56]She was, but she's not.

[00:35:58]Yeah, and that's too bad.

[00:35:59]I'm very. Disappointed. I'm very hurt. And I'm very sad.

[00:36:02]I'm so disappointed in General Smith, like she always seemed like the libertarian.

[00:36:06]She actually seemed more libertarian than I would even like.

[00:36:09]One of.

[00:36:09]These either.

[00:36:09]Paid her or threatened her or both.

[00:36:12]Yeah, but she's definitely abandoned, I agree.

[00:36:16]Especially when she she goes from saying, hey, if the government has to pay for a pipeline, then the exercise failed or whatever, and now she's jumping in on, it's like, what the hell?

[00:36:26]I think they got to her.

[00:36:29]Of course they did.

[00:36:29]Yeah. And it's money.

[00:36:33]There's a lot of money there.

[00:36:34]I don't know if somebody's got to her.

[00:36:36]It's just a matter of she's trying to make it look good.

[00:36:39]Like we might get a pipeline. Yeah. What?

[00:36:41]What irritates me is in a public forum with Carnie.

[00:36:45]When that.

[00:36:45]Why doesn't she say they're get rid of this climate stuff?

[00:36:48]Because that's like you're going to go, nobody's paying for it and get rid of the public option because the taxpayers can't afford that.

[00:36:54]Yeah.

[00:36:54]To say that from public to Kearney.

[00:36:56]Yeah. No. What sir this is the sad part.

[00:36:59]And I so appreciate your thoughts because I think you're spot on.

[00:37:02]But between the eye centers that are, and between, buying a pipeline to the West Coast and committing us to this carbon capture crap, she's already committed almost $1 trillion of our tax dollars and has asked nobody.

[00:37:18]Yeah, it hasn't happened.

[00:37:19]And I got a feeling it's not going to happen, but I'm just hoping the money doesn't go out first.

[00:37:24]Why isn't she balancing a budget? Yeah.

[00:37:27]Instead of yapping about eye centers and carbon capture.

[00:37:31]Exactly right.

[00:37:33]Hey, there's another thing I'm going to talk more.

[00:37:35]I know that it's a trucking industry that I drove truck for 50 years from coast to coast.

[00:37:41]Yeah, and you should have seen all the accidents.

[00:37:44]Most of them all new Canadians. Yeah.

[00:37:46]They don't have experience of driving a semi. Yeah.

[00:37:49]The last place I was at before I have to retire had no choice because one company off from Kamloops.

[00:37:56]Yeah.

[00:37:56]And I had to have my hip replaced third degree burns.

[00:37:59]Yeah. I was lucky to be alive. Yeah.

[00:38:02]And then, the truckers there at, at Cargill, they couldn't even back a trailer into the dock to get loaded.

[00:38:10]Yeah, that someone else?

[00:38:11]They had someone else to pack it in for him.

[00:38:14]Yeah, I have a class one license, and I drove a tank truck for several years, and, I've talked about this on a couple, couple of my videos, an immigrant who, came here 30 years ago or 35 years ago.

[00:38:27]I mean, it's class one driver.

[00:38:28]He he's Latino.

[00:38:30]He said he went to Vancouver and he couldn't get hired because the, the trucking companies were there's Somali or East Indian, and they would only hire their own.

[00:38:40]And this is like he said, it on my video.

[00:38:42]I'm just repeating what he said.

[00:38:44]And like, I talked to a Somali guy one time who told me the same stories, like, we only hire our own, right?

[00:38:51]And he's like, I went to a Somali run school.

[00:38:54]And, and then they they put me behind the wheel the very next day and sent me to the United States.

[00:38:59]He a guy said that to me.

[00:39:01]So. Yeah, go home.

[00:39:03]If you just hire your own, we don't need you here.

[00:39:05]But it's illegal in Canada to do that.

[00:39:08]But when you see companies that are like all of one ethnicity, you're like only your ethnicity applied here and nobody else did.

[00:39:17]Well, for.

[00:39:17]The Prime Minister to be involved in 128.

[00:39:20]Different.

[00:39:21]Conflicts of interest. Yeah.

[00:39:23]What's happened there? Yeah.

[00:39:25]So then I guess my real question is like, how much more corruption do we need to see before people actually wake up?

[00:39:31]Like all of us, we crossed the line here.

[00:39:33]He crossed the line for us.

[00:39:35]But what about these conservatives who are like UCP?

[00:39:39]They agree with everything we're saying, but they won't take it to the next step.

[00:39:43]What do we say to them? Because that's how we win.

[00:39:45]We get the 60%, you know or sorry six the problem is vote is UCP.

[00:39:50]We get that that group, we win.

[00:39:53]How do we get them?

[00:39:54]It just got to keep going in the grocery store.

[00:39:58]When I say turn it on, take their money away.

[00:40:02]Hey, thank you so much.

[00:40:03]Thank you so. Much. There money away.

[00:40:06]Yeah.

[00:40:06]And given the money that we live on and see if they can afford it, well.

[00:40:10]No, I, I get that, but I'm thinking that's what we would say to the, to the, to these illegal immigrants and stuff.

[00:40:16]But what about the conservatives.

[00:40:18]Who are they support everything that we're talking about here.

[00:40:22]They're just as pissed off as the rest of us.

[00:40:25]But they won't take that next step to become independence supporters.

[00:40:29]These pipeline deals are going to force that.

[00:40:31]You think, well, it's all taxpayer money.

[00:40:34]Yeah. So people are going to go, what the heck?

[00:40:36]But and what I want to say about the going back, sorry, going back to the carbon stuff is Canada in general and Alberta specifically.

[00:40:42]We're carbon sinks.

[00:40:44]We should be sending bills to the world with our forests.

[00:40:46]We absorb more carbon than we than anybody else.

[00:40:49]So why are we putting in so like this carbon machine, the carbon he wants to build will never happen.

[00:40:55]And it's a waste of money.

[00:40:56]Well, it's like my grandfather turned around, told me when I was young, we are born free because you don't pay taxes when you're first born.

[00:41:04]Yeah, until you start work, then you're tax to death.

[00:41:07]Yeah. You even got a death tax when you pass away.

[00:41:10]When taxes were so.

[00:41:11]Severe, like all all all the, all the we're so many people agree with us on all these issues, but they still will go with Canada just because of dystopia or just because the the and here's another.

[00:41:25]They don't think we're gonna win. You know.

[00:41:27]And there will be.

[00:41:28]Principle some fear like I've for me personally, I think you have to in this place. You have to talk to them one on one.

[00:41:33]Like events are good.

[00:41:34]But I actually I was a cancer and I had to convince a lot of people to sign because they're like, no, I'm not.

[00:41:39]And you ask, okay, why aren't you?

[00:41:42]You listen to me again to explain it and then.

[00:41:44]Yeah, break it down for them. Okay?

[00:41:45]You're here by your pension.

[00:41:46]You screw this because people always have some reason you know, the conservatives like they share the same values.

[00:41:52]But there's something I saw in the back and you have to talk about figure it out.

[00:41:55]And also that's a huge thing is having a conversation with people that, you know, figured out, like.

[00:42:00]I turned around last weekend, the girl in the wife and I, we went shopping.

[00:42:04]That shop at the Walmart.

[00:42:08]Yeah. We parked in the parking lot.

[00:42:10]Where does our groceries come back?

[00:42:12]Two young guys come up to talk to me.

[00:42:15]Yeah, because he seen my shirt. Yeah.

[00:42:17]And they're interested.

[00:42:19]They said they're gonna vote for independents in the.

[00:42:21]It's over.

[00:42:22]Yeah. Well.

[00:42:23]And so it's good.

[00:42:24]I think we're making some headway here.

[00:42:26]I just, I feel like there's a, there's a large group of people who agree with everything we're saying right up until the end.

[00:42:35]And I just I don't understand.

[00:42:38]I don't understand that.

[00:42:39]Because for me, the line was crossed.

[00:42:41]Like to actually tell us, Wolf, I'll share with you my my line was crossed when I'm like, I support independence.

[00:42:47]During during Covid, toward the end when, when I saw that indigenous elderly lady get trampled by the RCMP on horseback in front of Parliament at the same, that symbolic moment is etched into my mind.

[00:43:00]That's when the line cross.

[00:43:01]I'm like, there's no hope for Canada.

[00:43:03]So, like, I don't know, do you guys have a line like that?

[00:43:06]Yeah. When was your line?

[00:43:08]My line was in the 70s because the small town I grew up in, there was oil activity all along the foothills.

[00:43:13]Yeah, our town with double it almost doubled in size on weekends.

[00:43:16]And, some of my buddies used to work for the seismic crews.

[00:43:19]Yeah.

[00:43:19]And then I say Satan ended it. Satan being Pierre Trudeau.

[00:43:22]Yeah.

[00:43:22]And ever since then, just you could see the hard line that they had for Alberta and our industry.

[00:43:28]Yeah.

[00:43:28]And I mean, ever since the 70s, I've been waiting for a movement to get this big.

[00:43:32]Yeah.

[00:43:32]And I'm just all in, and I think you're gonna see a lot more, especially over the next few months.

[00:43:38]You see a lot more happening.

[00:43:40]I think you're gonna see a lot more people in conversations like this because, like I say, I go back to the 70s and I hear some like, you're talking about Covid.

[00:43:47]I've heard somebody talk about the floor crossers.

[00:43:49]Were there.

[00:43:49]Red line, I'm going, well, there's no time, but welcome.

[00:43:53]Yeah. Same with me back in the 1960s.

[00:43:55]Yeah I just turned 69 seconds June.

[00:43:59]Yeah. Next year I'll be 70. Yeah.

[00:44:01]So like the National Energy Program Pierre Trudeau, that was your line.

[00:44:05]You became an independence supporter back then?

[00:44:08]Oh, well, I was waiting for a yeah.

[00:44:10]We knew that we couldn't keep going the way we were going with Trudeau, with the taxes and the limitations we had.

[00:44:15]Yeah.

[00:44:15]And everything we tried to do, Ralph Klein tried to introduce public private partnerships with, hospitalization with health care, saying you'd go through the public system.

[00:44:24]You can't get help. Yeah.

[00:44:25]Then they would figure it out in the private system.

[00:44:28]Chretien was the prime minister at that time.

[00:44:30]And he said, well, then you won't get transfer payments.

[00:44:32]In a normal world, that's called extortion.

[00:44:34]Well, it. Was.

[00:44:35]What was your line?

[00:44:37]Covet, or the Freedom Trucker truckers convoy, I'd say with.

[00:44:42]Yeah.

[00:44:43]No, it's it's very similar to you, time frame work I always tried.

[00:44:47]Yeah, I would always try to launch the idea.

[00:44:48]I don't know, we can fix Canada. We'll get a conservative, you know?

[00:44:51]Yeah.

[00:44:51]And, like, I quite often size up, like, so dismal.

[00:44:54]Like, how can we.

[00:44:55]But yeah, honestly, seeing that how they treat people, they're trampling on our bullets, the tear gas, everything.

[00:45:00]I was like, we're lost.

[00:45:01]So when I saw I took my friend, I was like, this is a communist state by the time it gets to that point.

[00:45:06]Yeah. And that's why I decided like.

[00:45:08]Yeah, well, so this is before your time, kind of right before my time, actually.

[00:45:13]But we, we tried with the Reform Party right to fix Canada.

[00:45:17]Right.

[00:45:17]It goes back to and I try to promote Kathy Sweat's, presentation in Barnesville in November.

[00:45:22]Yeah.

[00:45:22]Because it goes through the she has the graphics there somewhere.

[00:45:26]She does the same talk, but in that one in Bonnie Ville, she has the charts that shows you the money.

[00:45:30]It shows you the Constitution limitations that we have.

[00:45:33]Yeah.

[00:45:33]And and I, they never taught us that Alberta was the colonized when I was a kid in school.

[00:45:38]I don't I'm old, but I don't remember it.

[00:45:40]And same with Alberta and Saskatchewan being colonized.

[00:45:43]And it wasn't until the 1905 Alberta Act and the Saskatchewan Act.

[00:45:47]Yeah. And they don't teach us that in school.

[00:45:50]And learning that now is kind of like, okay, that's that's the that's the hammer, that's the nail in the coffin kind of thing where you just get what the heck is happening.

[00:46:00]Where you think the seniors are.

[00:46:01]No, no more.

[00:46:03]So how has changed since they grew up?

[00:46:05]Yeah. Oh, it's you know, actually it's got worse.

[00:46:08]I was talking to a senior who is complaining all about the National Energy Project and all all these things that we're seeing here.

[00:46:15]And he told me to my face, he's on my video share link below.

[00:46:19]He was like, I'm actually going to vote for Kearney now.

[00:46:23]Said.

[00:46:23]This is a guy. I'm a video. You said he was conservative.

[00:46:26]He basically repeated almost everything that we talk about.

[00:46:29]Not so much about Covid that that wasn't a thing that he really talks Bill.

[00:46:33]But, and then at the end, he's like, you know, why can't he's actually doing a good job.

[00:46:37]And he's just he dragged the country.

[00:46:40]What was Kearney done exactly?

[00:46:42]What is Kearney done?

[00:46:44]He spent a lot of money on trips on food.

[00:46:47]Yeah.

[00:46:47]But we keep it like backing all up here and you touched on a point earlier on.

[00:46:51]I kind of want to just go back to that.

[00:46:53]You were like freedom, right?

[00:46:56]All of these little issues that we talked about, they're huge issues, pipelines and you know, all these are corruption in the government.

[00:47:05]These $250 butter.

[00:47:07]It's like, okay, really the issue is freedom for me I want freedom.

[00:47:12]Exactly. Same, you know. Yeah. I'm here.

[00:47:14]Yeah I don't feel like we got it. And I feel like it's getting worse and.

[00:47:17]More people always equalization payments, you know, pipelines.

[00:47:20]Yeah. Those are big deals. I'm gonna be wrong.

[00:47:22]But that's not actually why I'm out here.

[00:47:24]Out here is because my freedom is being taken away.

[00:47:26]And that's why I'm standing up for I'm not out here posting for pipelines.

[00:47:29]It's it's freedom. At the end of the day, that's all.

[00:47:31]That's all we are fighting for is freedom.

[00:47:33]I get to add to what you're talking about.

[00:47:35]Freedom is I lived and work legally in the States for over a decade.

[00:47:38]Yeah, one I learned a lot. One is states autonomy.

[00:47:41]Yeah.

[00:47:41]I mean, each state, they could have done 50 different things for Covid because each state has their own rules and regulations as they did.

[00:47:47]And the freedom is a lot more significant.

[00:47:50]They're trying to take it away.

[00:47:51]And when you get these liberals in Congress and congressmen and stuff, but living there and seeing it live, I work from, San Francisco or Sacramento to Fort Lauderdale, from, Saint Louis to Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio.

[00:48:05]Yeah.

[00:48:06]And I saw I learned a lot and that's the biggest thing I learned in the differences.

[00:48:10]I had this guy, a foreigner, ask us a question about being from Canada.

[00:48:14]You must see a lot of similarities.

[00:48:16]And it's.

[00:48:17]No, they're the states.

[00:48:19]Autonomy is huge difference.

[00:48:21]Yeah, well, and that's that's kind of the solution is like government closer to the people.

[00:48:26]Right.

[00:48:26]Small government more focused, closer to the people.

[00:48:29]This is the problem I have with Ottawa is they're 3000 some kilometers away from us.

[00:48:34]And, they're completely different from us.

[00:48:36]There's like six different regions in between.

[00:48:39]They don't represent us.

[00:48:41]They don't they don't have the same values and dreams and perspective on the world and and, or the same culture and, and because of that, they, they try to impose their views on us and, and so.

[00:48:53]I can't even work.

[00:48:54]I can't even afford to go on a holiday. Yeah.

[00:48:57]I can't afford to even leave Alberta right now.

[00:48:59]Yeah.

[00:49:00]That's how bad it is for me. For us.

[00:49:03]If it wasn't for the white working with me, I'd be living in my vehicle.

[00:49:07]Yeah.

[00:49:08]And I'm sorry to hear that.

[00:49:10]You know, and I feel like, like, honestly, I'm not doing that well, either.

[00:49:14]I have to work.

[00:49:15]I pretty much work hand to mouth, and, I feel like, you know, I look at, well, even your generation, you know, the average age when I bought my first house was, like, 22, and I bought a house around that time.

[00:49:28]And then now the average age is like 45 in Canada.

[00:49:32]You know.

[00:49:33]It's gone to the point where I've also decided not going to buy a house.

[00:49:35]I want to buy rural farmland below, and house is the only way I can do it without going is like $2 million of debt.

[00:49:40]Yeah, and everyone else I'm going to save up for ten years and then I'll get $1 million mortgage.

[00:49:45]They'll pay off by the time I'm 60.

[00:49:46]And I was like, yeah, yeah, I know, thanks.

[00:49:48]Nobody wanted that kind of slavery. Yeah.

[00:49:50]And it's like meanwhile we're we're we're just letting millions and millions of people come here.

[00:49:55]And I mean, I say this with a bit of caution, right?

[00:49:57]Because I sponsored my wife to come to Canada, but like, I'm living with her in the same house, like it's not taken.

[00:50:02]And I was away from the rental market.

[00:50:04]She is. Yeah.

[00:50:05]And is and she's I'm assimilating her.

[00:50:07]Right. But it's like, you know, she lives in my house.

[00:50:10]And so how would all these millions of people that are just showing up here?

[00:50:14]Where the heck are they going?

[00:50:15]Like, I always wonder that because it seems like the last five years, we've just seen so many of them come.

[00:50:20]Where did all the people who were living in those houses before ago?
