Juno News - BC Government & CTV SMEAR popular YouTuber

00:00:00.000 and today i want to tell you about a story that's happening out in british columbia we don't always

00:00:07.380 cover politics in bc but today it's really important and to do so i am joined by jasper

00:00:12.680 sunshine jasper goes by mr sunshine baby he's a youtube personality and political commentator so

00:00:18.680 jasper welcome to the show ah thank you very much for having me okay so tell us about this

00:00:24.460 controversy how did you end up in the middle of this like huge political storm out in victoria bc

00:00:30.480 well i was uh i was on an extended christmas vacation down on vancouver island i was just

00:00:38.480 camping in my fifth wheel uh with my family and it came to my attention that the british columbia

00:00:44.640 conservative party was having an agm meeting an annual general meeting in nanaimo so i decided

00:00:50.800 to show up like i didn't register i'm not part of the british columbia conservative i don't hold

00:00:56.180 like a membership or nothing i showed up and um they were able to give me a media pass uh i have

00:01:02.700 multiple youtube channels in the space and i was like okay that's pretty cool so i got to meet a lot

00:01:06.300 of people i met some mlas i met john rostad i met other creators there some were there as delegates

00:01:15.020 some were there as media like it was it was the first time that i ever crossed the screen into

00:01:22.020 the real world it was a very cool experience and then it came to my attention uh from talking with

00:01:29.700 different mlas and talking with different people folks that were there that because i have this you

00:01:35.020 know see large um house of canada youtube channel which is my way of trying to brainwash an entire

00:01:41.660 country to stop saying house of commons and start saying house of canada i think it's working a

00:01:46.220 little bit where i cover question period it's literally only question period when question

00:01:50.180 period's in i make videos and i live stream and question period's not in i don't i don't post right

00:01:54.640 and um because i do that and i've never actually attended question period in real life it was

00:02:00.620 recommended that i go watch question period at uh i call it the castle but it's more professionally

00:02:07.800 known as the legislator in victoria and so given the timing of everything it made sense that after

00:02:13.640 the agm was done on a sunday i would go to watch question period at the legislator on wednesday and

00:02:19.720 so i did and so i gave a little bit of notice that i was confirmed going booked a hotel for a couple of

00:02:26.200 nights you know bought dinner and lunch for my family because we're in like a hotel room can't cook for

00:02:31.480 ourselves and it was um it was a interesting experience being in victoria with all the safe

00:02:38.040 supply and stuff like that but focusing on what happened in the legislator um i got a little bit

00:02:43.480 of a tour around the place and then i was invited to sit up in or i was um i was given like a ticket to

00:02:51.400 sit up in uh in the gallery for question period which was cool because again i always do it from this

00:02:57.400 side of the screen i've never done it in person so there's no phones there's nothing right you have

00:03:02.280 to give all that stuff like airport security and it's openly you know known information on my youtube

00:03:09.640 channel that i was in the military for nine years and so i was introduced by an mla as a patriot and a

00:03:16.040 youtuber known as mr sunshine baby and uh and you know question period i'll be honest it was very um

00:03:24.760 um boring because the ndp run the show they're the they're the sitting government and oh my goodness

00:03:33.880 right there you go and they're just they're the non-answers and stuff like that but the conservatives

00:03:38.440 had some really good zingers and that's what i love that's that's what i like to to do as a hobby

00:03:44.680 for a youtube channel under house of canada at the federal level and there's a there's a timer that's on

00:03:50.520 the screen it's in big yellow almost thumbnail type of font starts at 30 minutes and it counts

00:03:57.080 all the way down from zero you can't see it when you watch it on tv or on on the internet but you

00:04:02.600 can see it when you're there in person and right when the clock went all the way down to zero the

00:04:08.360 conservative asked his last question and the ndp mp uh farnsworth i think was his name stood up and

00:04:15.720 commented on the fact that i was sitting up in the gallery and referred to me as a far right youtuber

00:04:23.160 with like extremist views or something of the sorts and how it was uh inappropriate he he denounced

00:04:29.080 me so i was i was announced and then he denounced me which is um interesting and then that it was

00:04:35.720 uh let's pause you right there desperate because we have that clip so let's let's play that clip

00:04:39.800 of mvp mla mike fanworth farnworth sorry does he think it's appropriate honorable speaker does he

00:04:49.320 think it's appropriate that a member of his caucus stands up in this house today and introduces

00:04:55.480 someone known as mr youth mr sunshine baby seated in the gallery and i'll tell you what it has to do

00:05:02.680 honorable speaker because yesterday the person that introduced by this caucus honorable speaker 0.94

00:05:08.040 posted a video that said the fat pig doug ford in ontario is ready to cut off the power

00:05:14.840 and liberals are cheering him on this is quite literally by definition an active war honorable 0.95

00:05:20.360 speaker does the leader of the opposition think it's appropriate for a member of his practice

00:05:25.240 to introduce somebody like that when tariffs are the greatest issue we face

00:05:29.640 what a reaction how are you feeling when all of a sudden they started talking about you like i was 0.98

00:05:41.480 clearly talking about doug ford's mentality he's a fat pig up there right so i'm up in the gallery and 0.96

00:05:47.160 you're not allowed to do you're not allowed to give thumbs up you're not allowed to make facial 0.97

00:05:51.480 expressions you can't do nothing you have to be a statue and when that happened when he said mr youtube

00:05:57.240 mr sunshine baby i just just about pissed myself i was laughing hysterically i gave thumbs up i was

00:06:04.280 just so shocked that i'm sitting up in the gallery and people below me like 10 20 feet below me

00:06:09.720 are mentioning me on like actual government officials right and uh i almost got kicked out because the

00:06:16.600 usher came up to me and said you're not allowed to to talk like you can't react and i said they're

00:06:24.760 talking about me what do you mean like that's my name keep my name out of your mouth we've already

00:06:31.320 seen that on the global stage and so it was just the weirdest thing and uh and that clip was already

00:06:37.240 posted online before i even exited the castle and i was i was absolutely in shock like i'm still

00:06:43.400 trying to wrap my head around how that why are these people even talking about me this is government

00:06:48.680 like there's more important things than than than talking about me like i'm not newsworthy

00:06:55.320 well it's it's sort of like the guilt by association cancel culture like how dare a bc conservative

00:07:01.240 mention you i mean obviously you're a patriot you served in the military you served in uniform

00:07:06.600 but also your youtube videos do a service because you make politics accessible to people that don't

00:07:11.480 really have a background in politics so you talk about it in like a very inviting way and you make it

00:07:16.040 entertaining and you make it funny you make it more colorful so you know they should appreciate

00:07:20.920 that because you're drawing more attention to their field uh but instead they use these tactics to try

00:07:26.840 to say like oh he once said something that i disagree with so therefore how dare he step foot

00:07:32.040 in this building which is ridiculous jasper and it gets it continues that's not the end of the story

00:07:37.480 because just today or sorry just yesterday on thursday the premier of british columbia

00:07:44.440 continued uh to bring it up so we have a clip here of bc premier david ebbe saying that he doesn't

00:07:50.600 understand why basically the conservatives would invite someone who doesn't share his messaging when

00:07:57.000 it comes to the terraform boycotting it's a very very strange um line of thinking but anyway let's let's

00:08:02.760 play that clip i cannot understand how you can sit on a panel with a youtuber that says i'm going to

00:08:09.400 encourage everybody to buy as much american as possible to undermine the boycott of american

00:08:14.040 goods like what the conservative party is thinking right now defies explanation how you can welcome as

00:08:19.640 a patriot a youtuber that uh that says that cutting off uh doug ford's efforts to to cut off electricity

00:08:27.880 uh to the united states to get the attention of the president were an act of war and that the president

00:08:31.880 should revisit harm on canadians in response and we get everything we deserve like i i can't explain

00:08:37.960 that i don't understand it and so what's what's the latest what's your takeaway from all this how

00:08:44.680 how has the reaction been and uh yeah what's your takeaway from all this well there's actually a couple

00:08:50.760 of steps that have happened since the legislator and since that clip and that's a ctv writing a hit

00:08:57.000 piece on me the day of the legislator the evening of the legislator and then a few days following that

00:09:03.160 david eb was also in a liquor store where they removed all american stuff and there's only canadian

00:09:08.760 stuff on the shelves mentioning me as well and then this i just happened on thursday and i mean my

00:09:14.040 my takeaway is this is ridiculous if you google is it an act of war to cut off the power to another

00:09:21.240 country the google will give you depending if you're asking google meta ai grok the answer is 0.73

00:09:28.200 yes it is israel cutting off the power to gaza or water to gaza whatever it was that was viewed as

00:09:34.920 inhumane and so that was a big no-no russia cutting off the power to europe is no no even with all the 0.56

00:09:43.240 sanctions that's imposed on them but for some reason there's this like bubble of immunity around doug 0.95

00:09:50.200 ford the fat pig mentality premier in ontario threatening to cut off the power to america

00:09:56.920 and nobody is unless i'm missing something unless i live in an extremist google search i don't really 0.83

00:10:04.280 know because you ask google and yes it can be perceived as an act of war and ever since he had

00:10:10.440 a phone call doug ford had a phone call with the liaison with the white house with trump's administration

00:10:16.280 he's completely done a reversal on his stance he came out the out the out the gate guns blazing 0.95

00:10:22.440 saying we're going to cut off the power with a smile on my face that's what he said that's disgusting

00:10:27.960 that's anti-canadian no canadian says that or condones that but apparently the extreme radicals on

00:10:35.480 the left do think that that's a good idea and so i just thought hey let me talk about it in my colorful 0.96

00:10:42.840 way that i like to do things by referring to him as a fat pig with rabies mentality though of course 0.53

00:10:48.840 i wouldn't comment on his weight i wouldn't do that well also canada's still a free country last i checked 0.94

00:10:54.440 so you are entitled to your freedom of speech and your opinion and the premier and the ndp party don't

00:10:59.720 have to agree with you you can still have your free speech and that's sort of the biggest problem

00:11:04.440 of this whole thing i want to talk uh shift it a little bit and talk about the bc conservative

00:11:08.920 party because they're having their own issues over there as well so true north wrote this piece

00:11:13.880 called the inside story behind the fracture of the bc conservative party bc uh conservative party bc

00:11:21.000 is refuting claims of internal turmoil after three breakaway mlas signal plans to form a new right-wing

00:11:29.080 party so for just a little bit of background and context there was dallas brody who is an mla from

00:11:35.240 vancouver she was on a podcast she was talking about the unmarked graves hoax and rightly pointing 0.57

00:11:41.240 out that zero bodies had been discovered and after that she got booted out of caucus the bc

00:11:47.560 conservatives removed from caucus uh when asked why the uh leader of the party john rodsted posted this

00:11:54.600 video and this post on x saying the following so he wrote correct dallas the number of new bodies on

00:12:01.720 earth in kamloops is zero however your departure from caucus was based on your choice to go on a

00:12:06.520 podcast and mock victims of resident of abuse at residential schools um here is a video and then he

00:12:13.640 plays a four second video completely taking whatever she was saying out of context so you can't really tell

00:12:19.880 what someone's talking about with four seconds of audio video i'll play you that four seconds so you can

00:12:25.720 try to judge for yourself this whole thing about my truth and your truth oh my truth so she's just you

00:12:34.200 could clearly just say see that it's first of all totally taken out of context you don't know what

00:12:37.720 she's talking about but the concept of my truth i mean that is like a woke left-wing idea that like

00:12:43.480 the truth is different than my truth like each individual person is entitled to their own truth so even

00:12:48.760 if there are facts pointing to to like you know there's no bodies being discovered so therefore you can't

00:12:54.920 call it a genocide um but then you can like combat that by saying well it's my truth i mean i don't

00:13:01.320 know the full context but it seems to me that she was mocking the left-wing idea of having my truth not

00:13:08.680 the actual testimonies of individuals who may have suffered abuse so from my perspective this is just

00:13:13.480 like right-wing cancel culture like you're not allowed to go on a podcast you're not allowed to deviate

00:13:18.280 ever so slightly from our narrative and in this case like you have to bend the knee to the left-wing woke

00:13:24.600 mob and ideology so i don't i don't understand why the party's fracturing i don't understand why

00:13:30.120 the leader of the party would kick someone out over this uh maybe you can help uh shine some light on

00:13:34.680 this jester what do you think uh well first of all i am guilty of saying my truth a few weeks ago so

00:13:42.920 my bad not in relation to you know graves or anything i just i forget what i was talking about but

00:13:48.600 oopsie daisy on that one well i'll forgive you for it i mean people people don't use it but like

00:13:53.240 this idea that like everyone's entitled to a different truth it just doesn't make any sense

00:13:56.840 but anyway yeah no that that i agree with uh in terms of the bc um conservative party i mean

00:14:03.960 conservatives are great at one thing and it's eating themselves alive like i think that when the

00:14:10.120 conservatives or the right is bored with something it just they start to kind of turn on each other and

00:14:15.080 you're seeing this happen um you know socially at the federal level with support uh or like the

00:14:21.080 conservative supporters and then also you're seeing this within the actual british columbia party and i i

00:14:27.720 feel i feel like i'm stuck between two different rocks right because i when i attended the um the agm

00:14:36.120 i got to meet a lot of the grassroots movement people and some of the changes that were implemented

00:14:42.440 to the bc conservative party were anti-grassroots movement uh people like they the whole party is

00:14:52.200 the foundation of the party is built on the pillars of the grassroots movement individuals

00:14:58.360 and they put their blood sweat and tears into a lot of volunteers and so i i was there and i witnessed

00:15:03.720 the voting of it and i was just i was i was blown away in in a very bad way and so i think that there's

00:15:10.360 a lot of tug of war happening within the party and if that four second clip is what uh dallas got

00:15:18.600 booted from the party for i feel like maybe john was just looking for an exit strategy and he said

00:15:24.280 you know what i'm taking that one that would have to be my guess because i i don't know how that

00:15:29.160 singular four seconds could be the make or break between kicking somebody out right again it's taken

00:15:35.640 out of context as someone who's been on the receiving end of things being taken out of context

00:15:40.280 yeah that that it's used to manipulate you know public opinion and very much used against you

00:15:46.600 well it's a time where conservatives really need to stick together i mean federally you mentioned

00:15:50.760 that there's sort of some back and forth over what the best strategy is for pierre polyev some people

00:15:56.680 are saying that he's not going hard enough and some people don't like the way that he's kind of trying

00:16:01.880 to distance himself say from american republicans um and then in british columbia i wanted to tie this into

00:16:07.000 a story that jonathan k wrote about uh that the bc okanagan so this is a part of ubc

00:16:13.160 they denied an application to a conservative campus club so the conservative party wanted to

00:16:18.600 have a campus club the school just basically said no they weren't allowed to because it would upset

00:16:24.840 progressives basically that having having conservatives on campus would make people

00:16:30.120 feel unsafe for some such nonsense and so interestingly jasper the the leader of the bc conservatives john

00:16:36.360 runstad posted about this and he said this is the inevitable result of out of control radical leftist

00:16:42.200 activism in bc's academy academia no woke activist student culture should be allowed to determine

00:16:47.720 which political parties students can join or associate with and so i just thought that there

00:16:52.200 was like a sense of irony here that he is protesting about ubc being too woke and not allowing conservatives

00:16:58.920 which is true but then he himself was kind of being woke in pushing dallas brody out saying like

00:17:04.440 how dare you say uh how dare you whatever mock the idea of my truth uh jonathan k seemingly agrees with

00:17:11.960 that take because he uh wrote the following on x he said thanks for your quote tweet uh now go

00:17:19.080 apologize to dallas brody for throwing her under the bus after she uh spoke the truth about kamloops

00:17:25.240 what you and your fellow party members did to her was unconscionable totally agree with that john k any any

00:17:30.760 any thoughts on that uh i i can almost guarantee you that you're not gonna see john rustad retract his

00:17:39.560 decision and i don't think he's going to apologize i feel like in politics when when you when you pick

00:17:44.920 a path you're just committed to it and it's very unfortunate what happened uh in terms of a public

00:17:50.920 apology i think a lot of us in british columbia would like to see that but i think the damage has already

00:17:57.160 been done because uh dallas got the the boot which is not a um a funny little canadian term actually

00:18:04.920 got the boot and then if i'm not mistaken a couple other mlas also decided that they were going to go

00:18:11.960 independent and so i think you're starting to see um something that was almost inevitable that was going

00:18:18.680 to happen you know i i saw the tensions at the agm and now that action has already taken place i think

00:18:26.360 uh i think it's there's a massive fracture and i don't know if it's going to be repairable

00:18:31.240 anytime soon well that's too bad i think that the right needs to be united if we've learned anything

00:18:36.120 over the last number of years it was in alberta when they had both the wild rose party and the pc

00:18:41.240 party the ndp were able to govern as soon as they united they've basically been the majority government

00:18:46.600 there ever since federally it was the same thing when there were pcs and uh the the alliance party they

00:18:53.000 didn't win and then they merged together to create the conservative party of canada and that's how

00:18:56.680 they won their majority so conservatives have to find a way to uh get along and the ndp have to be

00:19:03.720 okay with someone like you jasper uh showing up to the legislature given that probably a lot more people

00:19:09.960 watch your political coverage uh even then you know the nightly news or the legacy that's just the

00:19:14.920 reality of the world we live in so it's funny that you say the ndp should be okay with someone like

00:19:20.840 me because at the federal level jagmeet singh actually used me on his breakup video i think

00:19:28.520 it was september 4th uh when he said that the coalition is over right they just resumed or they

00:19:33.720 were about to resume um the house of commons after the summer break or something of the sorts it was

00:19:39.320 like jagmeet's most viral moment that he's ever had in his life so at the federal level in his video

00:19:45.480 in his actual breakup video i forget maybe 41 42 seconds in when the screen goes to black and white

00:19:51.800 you can actually see me in in the bottom right corner of the video he took my house of canada

00:19:57.640 footage it's me looking up like this because i'm watching question period so he the federal ndps are

00:20:03.560 okay using me to their advantage but the provincial bc ndp just want to use me to attack others it's just

00:20:11.640 it's so hypocritical it's um it's almost comical well it is comical and the name calling too like

00:20:16.760 this idea that somehow you're like a far right dangerous threat just because you don't fall in 0.89

00:20:22.120 line with their like brainwashing when it comes to how everyone must respond to the tariffs and to trump

00:20:29.000 and this message is for the youtube audience we love the youtube audience everybody thank you so much

00:21:10.360 support independent journalism thank you so much back to the episode okay i want to go back to that

00:21:16.040 ctv report we missed it originally but i want to talk about it it's fake news friday we love to talk

00:21:20.280 about the fake news on fridays and so ctv did a hit piece on you and uh the even the journalist was

00:21:26.600 talking about it on x so why don't you walk us through that jasper right so i organically found uh the

00:21:33.800 journalist who wrote this kind of like hit piece about me on ctv vancouver so when you think of the

00:21:40.280 largest cities in canada it would be toronto vancouver calgary montreal so ctv vancouver is huge

00:21:48.680 like this was on their website aired on on you know the news that evening absolutely insane that this 0.96

00:21:55.960 person had posted i did not expect to be researching a youtuber who called doug ford a fat pig

00:22:03.160 and vladimir zelinski a grifter as a result of question period today but here we are and when

00:22:09.560 i came across this post this is a journalist like in the description of penny's x account wrote the

00:22:16.040 article on ctv literally says britain by penny right i literally said you can ask me anything i'm an open

00:22:23.720 book so kind of weird that you're gonna identify yourself as a journalist but not reach out to the

00:22:30.040 other side of the story especially when the other side of the story literally pops right on your feet

00:22:35.480 like right there like knocks on your door hello hi hi that's me you want you want to ask me anything

00:22:41.000 and doesn't do um doesn't do her do their due diligence i want to be careful with that one so

00:22:46.520 i found that a little bit um a little bit disingenuous but of course it's ctv so if the shoe fits right

00:22:53.320 well it's it's i mean of course because most journalists are not actual journalists they're

00:22:57.800 a political activist and you can tell even by her reaction like how dare someone call doug ford a

00:23:02.360 fat pig or vladimir zelinski a grifter like as if those are like really extreme views like i think

00:23:08.600 most people in ontario don't really like doug ford that much they might not use that term to describe 0.78

00:23:12.840 him um but like we said you're you know a colorful guy and vladimir zelinski i've called him a grifter

00:23:17.800 many times as well like that's kind of the consensus view among most conservatives in canada at this

00:23:22.520 point so it's not like your views are even that outside the box where she's kind of presenting you

00:23:27.800 as if you're like some very extremist person and it's so unfortunate that she wouldn't even reach

00:23:33.080 out to you like when you're covering someone like the probably the first thing you learn in

00:23:36.600 journalism school is get both sides right reach out if you're going to talk about somebody you have

00:23:41.480 to at least reach out to them for comment even just to avoid a libel lawsuit it's a good practice

00:23:47.320 to reach out and say hey i'm writing about you would you like to comment and you were presenting

00:23:52.120 yourself to this journalist and i'm guessing that she didn't bother uh to interview you or ask you for

00:23:57.080 comment for this question for this article not at all and they wouldn't know this because they never

00:24:03.640 reached out but those hit pieces that they'd done because it was on ctv vancouver it was in the news

00:24:10.520 right i was presented in in parliament in the castle as uh prince george resident this actually

00:24:17.160 turned into something that was even worse on a local subreddit of prince george there was even

00:24:24.760 some death threats towards me and my family that have since been removed from the moderation of that

00:24:30.680 subreddit but this is what happens if you're gonna do if you're gonna call yourself a journalist and work

00:24:35.320 for a you know ctv like a mainstream media you should be doing both sides of the story me my family

00:24:42.120 don't deserve death threats because i i literally attended question period that's insane oh that's

00:24:48.680 awful that's so unfortunate i'm sorry to hear that jasper and uh make sure that you you know protect 0.80

00:24:53.480 you and your family the the there are some crazy people on the political left as we know violent

00:24:58.280 people and again yeah like ctv to put out a piece and the shame on them the the headline here outcry 0.98

00:25:03.320 after bc conservatives invite pro-trump youtuber into the legislature i don't know if you're pro-trump or not

00:25:08.600 but you made it pretty clear that the b it wasn't like the bc conservatives invited you it seems like

00:25:13.480 you know someone it sort of said you could go i don't know if you got like an official invitation

00:25:18.360 from the party but really this is like typical media trying to do cancel culture saying guilt by

00:25:23.960 association this guy once said something that i don't agree with on his youtube page so we're going

00:25:28.360 to smear the entire political party and we're going to smear him and put his kids in danger as well

00:25:33.800 it's it's so disgusting and uh it's so unfortunate we had to go through that yeah we we should be

00:25:39.160 shutting off the power to ctv there you go all right we'll leave it at that thanks for joining us jasper
