Greg Wycliffe - Why I'm Running for Politics in Canada

00:00:00.000 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,

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

00:03:04.640 to you soon. Bye.
