00:00:00.040 I'm Greg Wycliffe and I'm the People's Party of Canada Candid for Parkdale High
00:00:04.520 Park. I'm also a director of business development for a media company in
00:00:09.000 Toronto. When I think about why I love Canada I think about the great outdoors.
00:00:14.200 I think about my childhood and playing sports with my friends, spending hours
00:00:18.840 driving to soccer and hockey tournaments in the car and having ridiculous
00:00:24.240 conversations with one another. I mean now that I work as a professional in
00:00:28.040 Toronto I think about you know the camping trips with my parents and these
00:00:32.540 options for leisure and recreation in this country and realize what a gift it
00:00:38.120 is. I was not always interested in politics. My attention shifted four years
00:00:43.700 ago when I saw someone with nearly no qualifications win a federal election.
00:00:48.860 That's when I started to pay more attention to the news on my Facebook feed
00:00:52.640 and really think critically about it. We're consuming news faster than
00:00:57.860 ever. We're forming our political opinions faster than ever like we're
00:01:02.240 double tapping on an Instagram post and the most disturbing thing I find is not
00:01:07.220 only are people more tribal and divided than ever but conversations are not what
00:01:13.320 they used to be. Needless to say when Maxime started the PPC I was inspired. Not
00:01:19.040 only was he calling people out on their BS but he said something that really
00:01:23.240 resonated with me which was I am not going to appeal to the emotions of Canadians. I'm
00:01:29.060 going to appeal to the intelligence of Canadians. Now he is the leader and founder
00:01:35.720 of the fastest growing political party in Canadian history and for good reason. It's
00:01:41.900 a principled platform that I believe any well-to-do Canadian would completely agree
00:01:47.240 with. I became a candidate myself because I realized I could be an inspiration to other
00:01:52.180 Canadians and I want to hold the media in this country to account along with the
00:01:57.140 CBC. That's what I promise to do for you when I become a member of Parliament.
00:02:01.680 I'm really excited to represent the PPC in Parkdale High Park. It's a vast, riding many
00:02:06.880 different neighborhoods. The one thing that we all have in common is the cost of
00:02:11.120 living. I mean bills, rent, real estate, groceries. The PPC is going to create a
00:02:19.040 simple tax system that's going to help all families, all young professionals and
00:02:22.880 we're eliminating corporate welfare and getting rid of the capital gains tax. This
00:02:29.100 is huge for small businesses, local businesses and any hard-working Canadian who
00:02:35.540 wants to save and invest in their future. And I encourage you please reach out
00:02:41.060 start a conversation. I want to hear from you. I want to hear your voice because I
00:02:46.520 need your input. I need to know your experience, your concerns, so I can be the
00:02:53.120 best possible member of Parliament for you. Thanks so much for watching this video.
00:02:57.380 Please learn more about the PPC platform and get in touch.
