Transcript
00:00:00.000
I'm a Canadian and my name is Greg. Greg Wycliffe, PPC candidate for Parkdale High Park. I had a meet
00:00:05.260
and greet this past week. Went really well. I gave a speech there. People really liked it, so I thought
00:00:09.560
I'd record it a bit more professionally and deliver it to you here. So here we go. I'd like
00:00:16.400
to thank every single one of you for coming out tonight. It's great to be amongst like-minded
00:00:21.160
individuals. I look forward to learning more about your experience, not just in this writing,
00:00:26.040
but your experience as a Canadian. My experience recently as a Canadian, I've been feeling a lot
00:00:32.120
of stuffy social pressure, as if there's thought police out there. I've been getting a lot of fear
00:00:39.640
coming from my own friends and family, learning that I'm joining the PPC. This fear coming from
00:00:48.120
people who I think are sane and relatively intelligent individuals has only motivated me because it shows
00:00:54.920
us what a sorry state we're in. Not just in our country, not just in the media, but the actual
00:01:00.620
social life with our peers, friends, and family. So I truly want to thank you for coming out tonight.
00:01:08.280
Just showing up here is an act of courage. You know, just showing up here shows that you think
00:01:15.480
for yourself. Just showing up here shows that you are an individual and you are free.
00:01:24.280
So for everyone that showed up, you know, big round of applause.
00:01:29.960
To me, the PPC represents the individual. I think we all know all too well how frustrated we've been for
00:01:38.200
years with our different options on the ballot. They're patronizing ads. They're empty promises.
00:01:44.520
They're pandering, pandering, pandering. People say, but Greg, the PPC, you're splitting the vote.
00:01:51.960
You know what's splitting a vote? Trudeau's incompetence. You know what's splitting the vote?
00:01:58.280
Scheer's weak leadership. Especially for conservatives, I tell them, hey, the number one person who's converting
00:02:04.360
conservatives into PPC supporters is actually Andrew Scheer. I got to watch a long-time conservative
00:02:12.200
Benjamin Dichter deliver an incredible speech at the PPC convention over a month ago. He talked about
00:02:18.360
his experience firsthand in the Conservative Party. The cowardice that he found sickening to the point
00:02:26.120
that he joined the PPC. He joined us. The People's Party of Canada led by Maxim Bernier.
00:02:34.360
The only party that wants to cut four and eight because we believe sending a billion dollars to
00:02:42.520
sub-Saharan Africa to help them fight climate change might not be such a great investment.
00:02:48.600
Not sure if the world over is going to get a good return on that investment. The PPC is talking about it.
00:02:56.760
We're the only party that wants to abolish corporate welfare from the supply chain management
00:03:01.960
to help have a more fair economy and help Canadian families save money. The PPC is talking about it.
00:03:12.440
We're the only party that wants to be responsible with immigration and be mindful and smart of how
00:03:18.120
we settle new refugees to this country. Homeless shelters in Toronto and Vancouver are overcapacity.
00:03:25.800
We're putting asylum seekers and hotels in the greater Toronto area on the taxpayer's dime. This is
1.00
00:03:32.120
clearly unsustainable. Every party and media outlet is afraid to talk about this, but not the PPC. The PPC is
00:03:41.160
talking about it. There's a lot of reasons that the mainstream media is trying to make us look bad
00:03:47.400
and trying to shut down the conversation. Because very simply, if we have a fair conversation,
00:03:54.760
we win. Canadians of all political backgrounds are, especially the ones too frustrated to vote,
00:04:03.240
are smart. And those are the people I want to talk to. There are so many smart individuals in my
00:04:09.160
writing that are starving to hear the PPC message objectively. Those are the people I want to share
00:04:16.360
our message with to show them that there's more options. There is a principled alternative that will
00:04:21.480
get this country back on track. We have the momentum. The PPC has truth on our side. And Canadians are
00:04:30.040
realizing more and more that there's nothing to be afraid of. If you look at PPC policies objectively,
00:04:37.240
you will see they are quite moderate. I want to have this conversation and I'm excited to talk to
00:04:45.000
everybody about it. And I would be honored if you'd join me. So thank you for making it out tonight.
00:04:50.600
Thank you for showing your support. But most importantly, thank you for being an individual.
00:05:00.040

00:05:04.120
support or reach out, here's all my contact information. We will talk to you very soon. Cheers.
