Hello, my name is Greg Wycliffe. I'm the People's Party of Canada candidate for
00:00:04.000
Parkdale High Park. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation.
00:00:08.460
Let's back up a bit. It's true, it's true. I'm a Canadian and my name is Greg. I
00:00:15.440
wanted to make this video for people who already know me. Let them know I'm running
00:00:19.860
for federal politics for Parkdale High Park and also three reasons, three
00:00:24.800
totally legitimate reasons of why you should consider voting for the PPC or
00:00:28.800
at least looking into our platform. Reason number one, just look at this man. Do
00:00:37.440
you see how handsome this man is? Wow. Am I right? Ladies, fellas, if this other
00:00:45.420
kid, if this is not doing something for you, you need to check your taste in men,
0.77
00:00:49.300
okay? Open your eyes. This guy's sexy, okay? I mean, I would mention his resume is
00:00:58.620
his experience working for National Bank as a director of, you know, international
00:01:03.360
and corporate relations, but based on our last election, you know, those qualifications
00:01:07.260
don't seem that relevant. I think, uh, f***-ability and sex appeal is what's most
00:01:12.480
important to Canadians, if I'm not mistaken. Reason number two. Look what I can do.
00:01:21.120
What does that have anything to do? No, no. He's got a point.
00:01:31.120
But seriously, I never planned to get into politics by any means. I started to pay attention
00:01:39.860
four years ago when I saw somebody with next to no qualifications become the leader of our
00:01:45.080
great nation. That's when I started to pay attention. And wow, I came to the sad realization
00:01:50.760
that we're really not sending our best. Uh, not at all. And I also am discovering that no one really
00:01:59.180
cares about Canadian politics beyond the surface level. They'll just read the headline and move on
00:02:04.580
doing actual research, looking actually into the issue. It's just too much. I'd rather just go to
00:02:10.000
the cottage and crack open a blue. Do people drink blue? Oh my God. Um, but yeah, I realized I have
00:02:20.660
skills. I'm passionate about this. I guess I'll stand up for my country and, and try to inspire
00:02:26.920
people to have conversations, discussions, real debates where we cross-reference different
00:02:33.640
information as opposed to just kind of banging into one another like a tribal war. I mean, if,
00:02:39.740
if we can't have robust conversations and debates, how are we ever going to find robust solutions
00:02:47.200
to these complicated 21st century problems? I'm so excited to hear what you think and,
00:02:55.200
uh, and to start a conversation because we should be able to have conversations and dig deeper
00:03:00.000
under the surface level of Canadian politics. Thanks for watching this video and we'll talk
