Introduction
In a dynamic and insightful webinar hosted by the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), Jonathan Baynes, the newly appointed CEO, shared his vision and plans for Alberta’s future. The Alberta Prosperity Project is dedicated to educating, inspiring, and uniting Albertans to protect their prosperity, individual freedoms, rights, and self-determination. Jonathan Baynes, with his extensive background and diverse experiences, brings a fresh perspective to the project. This blog article delves into the key points discussed by Jonathan during the webinar, highlighting his journey, vision, and the critical initiatives he plans to implement.
Background of Jonathan Baynes
Jonathan Baynes’ journey began in Cape Town, South Africa, during the tumultuous era of apartheid. Growing up in a segregated society, Jonathan was exposed to the harsh realities of racial discrimination and government overreach. His experiences during this time shaped his perspective on governance and individual rights. Jonathan’s path led him to the United Kingdom, where he pursued higher education and began his professional career. Eventually, he moved to Canada, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and a passion for change.
Journey to APP
Jonathan’s involvement with the Alberta Prosperity Project began even before his appointment as CEO. He was deeply inspired by the organization’s mission and vision, which resonated with his own values and beliefs. Jonathan acknowledges the significant contributions of his predecessors, Chris Scott and Dr. Dennis Modry, who laid the foundation for APP. His transition to the role of CEO marks a new chapter for the organization, as he aims to build on their successes and drive the movement forward.
“The Alberta Prosperity Project has the right direction. We want to be prosperous and sovereign either within Canada, which means changing our relationship with Canada, or by declaring independence if necessary.”
Vision for Alberta
Jonathan Baynes envisions a prosperous and sovereign Alberta, where individuals have the freedom to determine their own future. He emphasizes that sovereignty is not granted by the government but is an inherent right of every individual. Jonathan’s vision is to create an Alberta that thrives independently, whether within a restructured Canada or as a fully independent entity. He believes in the power of local governance and the ability of Albertans to make decisions that best serve their interests.
“Sovereignty is not something that we’re given by the government; it’s something that every single individual is given by our creator as a part of being human.”
Key Challenges and Opportunities
Jonathan highlights the major challenges Alberta faces under the current federal system. The overreach of the federal government and the lack of local control have stifled Alberta’s potential. However, he also sees immense opportunities for growth and development. By asserting greater autonomy, Alberta can leverage its resources, innovate, and create a thriving economy that benefits all its residents.
Support Five Initiative
One of the cornerstone initiatives Jonathan introduced is the Support Five initiative. This strategy is designed to build a robust and engaged community through small, consistent contributions. The initiative encourages members to commit to a small monthly donation, engage with APP’s content on social media, and connect with five other individuals to spread the message. This grassroots approach aims to create a sustainable and scalable revenue model while fostering a strong sense of community and participation.
The Support Five initiative is about building the biggest movement possible by having a financial model that provides consistent revenue and engages people in the process of being educated about the information that’s out there.”
Call to Action
Jonathan passionately calls on Albertans to get involved with APP. He emphasizes that every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. By supporting the initiative, participating in local chapters, and spreading the word, Albertans can collectively drive the movement towards greater autonomy and prosperity. Jonathan also highlights upcoming events and encourages readers to stay informed and engaged.
“We want to be able to be prosperous sovereign individuals living our lives and growing our families and building our businesses without interference from the government.”
Conclusion
Jonathan Baynes’ message is clear: the future of Alberta lies in the hands of its residents. By uniting and taking proactive steps, Albertans can secure their prosperity and freedoms. The Alberta Prosperity Project, under Jonathan’s leadership, is committed to this mission. As Jonathan aptly puts it, sovereignty and prosperity are rights that must be actively pursued and protected. The path forward requires dedication, unity, and a shared vision for a better Alberta.
