The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - ＂34 More Ballots Than Voters＂ - Liberal Fraud Scandal BLOWS UP!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and I have a huge update for you all in the Scarborough

00:00:06.620 Southwest Liberal nomination scandal that has big implications for Canadian politics

00:00:12.760 overall, not just Ontario provincial politics.

00:00:16.420 To give you a bit of a nutshell of the situation, we had Nate Erskine-Smith, who is the sitting

00:00:23.160 Liberal MP for the Riding of Beaches East York, deciding that he wanted to go into Ontario

00:00:28.960 provincial politics, so he ran for the Scarborough Southwest Liberal nomination. Now, this riding

00:00:36.300 became available because the NDP member of provincial parliament, Dolly Begum, resigned

00:00:42.640 her seat to then run for the federal Liberal nomination for the federal riding of Scarborough

00:00:48.620 Southwest because the then-sitting Liberal MP, Bill Blair, went to go become the High Commissioner

00:00:55.520 to the UK for Canada. It's just a big web of nonsense, but all you need to know is at some

00:01:01.600 point, Scarborough Southwest became available. Nate Erskine-Smith was not happy sitting as a

00:01:07.400 backbench Liberal MP when he was supposed to be the Housing Minister. Mark Carney snubbed him,

00:01:13.440 and so he then ran for this in order to try and switch offices. But he ended up losing to a man

00:01:19.920 named Ansul Afiz by just 19 votes. Now, comedy ensued and everyone pointed and laughed at Nate

00:01:29.400 Erskine-Smith because he's been in favor of mass immigration and he is just a fairly obnoxious

00:01:35.520 progressive politician if you're a conservative like me, but I did not point and laugh because

00:01:40.540 I do care about election integrity and there are so many dirty nominations all over the country

00:01:47.000 And I want to just highlight how bad it is with this race. 1.00

00:01:51.140 If anything, it's good that this race is putting a spotlight 1.00

00:01:53.780 onto just how compromised democracy is often in Canada. 0.88

00:01:58.060 I don't have to like Nate Erskine-Smith to care about this race. 0.88

00:02:01.520 And I'm going to give you guys the update on just how obviously rigged,

00:02:06.440 obviously fraudulent this vote was.

00:02:09.200 Remember, if Nate Erskine-Smith does not win,

00:02:12.200 he does not vacate his Beaches East York seat, even though he said he would.

00:02:16.380 And that means that Mark Carney gets to hold on to a bigger undeserved majority. If he leaves because he wins the Scarborough Southwest seat, that means that because Jonathan Wilkinson in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Capilano is also leaving, Mark Carney has his majority government fall down to bare bones and it becomes very difficult to do anything for a while.

00:02:37.320 And the Conservatives and bloc could even push to force committees to actually reflect the makeup of Parliament again, because the Speaker cannot sit on committees, I believe. That might be wrong. But it will basically cause a lot of chaos if Erskine Smith leaves.

00:02:52.200 So even though Mark Carney endorsed NES, which I will call him at times here, it kind of benefits Carney for him not to have won this nomination, and it definitely benefits the insiders of the Ontario Liberal Party for him not to have won, because they seem like they are currently in the tank for former Liberal M.T. Nabby Baines to come in as the new Ontario Liberal leader.

00:03:16.700 Again, this thing is completely crazy.

00:03:18.920 I know I'm a conservative, but I really care about this because, again, voter integrity matters.

00:03:24.400 Before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on this video.

00:03:43.200 But without further ado, I am going to explain the numbers on the board, then we are going to get into the update delivered by Globe and Mail journalist Laura Stone, who has done a good job of putting out in a very organized fashion what has happened this morning.

00:03:59.060 So, Nate Erskine-Smith had said that he will be challenging the results late yesterday or mid-yesterday.

00:04:06.800 And since then, people have been wondering what he was going to claim about the race.

00:04:11.680 And now that he's actually released his challenge to the race, the whole thing looks completely dirty.

00:04:17.960 So, I'm going to start over here, and then we're going to kind of, I guess, filter over to the right, and then I'm going to fill in the new information.

00:04:23.880 The amount of eligible Liberal members in this Ontario Liberal Party nomination was 3,581, but there were around 1,806 memberships that were deleted before the actual nomination date.

00:04:41.920 Now, out of that, a little over 500 of them were duplicates. I'm just going to assume that's true. But that meant that 1,265 memberships were deleted for being invalid in some way, or they were not properly verified or whatever.

00:04:57.560 Now, that doesn't really make sense because they said, well, we're not sure if these people live in the riding. We're not sure if these are real memberships, which shouldn't really matter because, well, if they show up to the polling station on the day of the vote, they would have to present their driver's license and prove that their registration address matches their driver's license address, and it is indeed part of the riding.

00:05:20.720 This seemed like a sketchy way of just simply getting rid of a bunch of members that were probably going to be supporting NES.

00:05:28.460 Now, Fizz, in a Globe and Mail article, and I wrote this down the other day, when he was asked how the membership deletions affected him,

00:05:37.880 people like NES and the other two candidates in this race had basically intimated or outright said that this had affected hundreds of their memberships.

00:05:46.860 A fizz said that this had affected a few of his, which kind of tells me that they weren't really, they were deliberately not targeting him with the membership deletions, even though, as we're going to get into it, if you were to eliminate somebody's members, a fizz seems like the person who should be actually looking into more.

00:06:10.680 So the actual total amount of voters who should have been voting in this nomination were 4,846.

00:06:19.800 Hafiz ended up getting 718 votes on the final ballot to NES's 699, a win margin of 19 votes.

00:06:29.820 Now, you could say, okay, well, maybe the party followed the rules.

00:06:33.860 Nate Erskine-Smith, that supporter of mass immigration, he's just whining.

00:06:38.380 the Bengali community didn't like him, and now he's suffering the consequences of his own actions.

00:06:45.420 Well, yes, I would love to point and laugh Nate Erskine-Smith for being hoisted on his own 0.58

00:06:50.900 petard in terms of immigration as much as the next guy. That's not what happened here. This is just

00:06:56.520 classic voter fraud and nomination rigging. So not only did we have the 1265 just being

00:07:02.260 arbitrarily deleted. But what we also had that Laura Stone reveals here in Nate Erskine-Smith's

00:07:09.380 filing against the nomination is that in the ballot boxes, remember, the FIS won by a margin

00:07:17.460 of 19 votes. But in the ballot boxes, there were 34 more votes than there were people who voted in

00:07:28.240 the nomination in terms of when you check the names of people who voted off the lists that number

00:07:35.280 was 34 lower than the 19 that Hafiz had won by on final ballot or actually not even final ballot

00:07:43.360 that was 34 more people who voted not even just compared to the final ballot 34 more ballots were

00:07:48.640 submitted for counting than people who actually showed up to vote and this guy won by just a

00:07:55.840 little bit less than a double a little bit less more than half of that margin that is absolutely

00:08:02.720 insane but the party the interim ontario liberal party leader john frazier is simply just standing

00:08:09.760 by the results and saying that he is confident that the process will work itself out fine

00:08:15.280 it's very telling that journalists really aren't digging into this yes they are reporting the

00:08:19.840 general of surface level details of what people are saying but they're not looking into the fact

00:08:25.200 that in a nomination where 1,200, let's write that down again, there were 1,265 people disallowed,

00:08:35.600 not able to vote, ruled invalid. There were 34 more votes counted than people who actually voted,

00:08:43.680 and Hafiz wins by 19 votes. That seems a little bit sketchy to me. And now I want to just read

00:08:52.240 the full statement by Laura Stone so you understand how absurd those numbers are. They're

00:08:57.700 already absurd, but they get even worse when you see the type of people who are voting

00:09:01.900 for Hafiz. Not only have I showed in a previous video that his supporters were largely non-English

00:09:08.940 speakers who needed things translated into Bengali, but it turns out they couldn't even

00:09:13.440 vote on their own, as I'm going to get into in this thread. Laura Stone here says,

00:09:19.900 Breaking, Nate Erskine-Smith has filed a notice of appeal to the Ontario Liberal Party to challenge the results of the Scarborough Southwest nomination, alleging serious irregularities according to a copy, according of a copy.

00:09:35.160 I think that, I assume that means according to a copy viewed by the Globe and Mail.

00:09:39.160 Laura says the appeal alleges there were 34 more ballots in boxes than recorded votes, voter ID issues, and unusually high number of people who claim to just lost their driver's licenses or just moved to the area and people being explicitly directed on how to vote in the voting area.

00:09:57.580 The appeal also states that a new nomination should be held or a candidate appointed,

00:10:02.120 quote,

00:10:02.420 to avoid any perception of self-interest, Mr. Erskine Smith will remove himself

00:10:06.260 from any future process or consideration in Scarborough Southwest

00:10:09.820 if it means the party will investigate and take action.

00:10:13.520 Other allegations contained in the notice include using Amazon orders as an address,

00:10:18.220 one voter was allowed to vote with a visitor visa to Canada,

00:10:21.480 and a Bangladeshi passport for voter ID and banking information.

00:10:25.620 The appeal calls for changes to nomination races. It is obvious, for example, that we need to amend voter eligibility rules to limit participation to citizens and permanent residents, unquote, also says Election Ontario should manage nominations.

00:10:41.220 Now, this is a classic thing that many people have pointed out in party nominations everywhere, that we should have Elections Canada or provincial election organizations manage the vote so that the party can't just fudge it at the end.

00:10:54.000 So you see what we have here. I'm just going to do it again, but we had a winning margin of 19 votes. And the amount of votes counted were 34 higher than the amount of people who actually voted.

00:11:08.320 We had 1,265 memberships deleted so that they couldn't vote in the thing, and Hafiz had no IDs for a lot of his own people, or there was no way of actually verifying their ID.

00:11:27.360 Banking information is so easy to fake.

00:11:30.420 You can go onto your online banking app and change your address on the spot.

00:11:34.880 It didn't even go there.

00:11:36.460 They couldn't even vote on their own.

00:11:38.960 They needed assisted voting.

00:11:45.500 I think I'm spelling that wrong, but whatever.

00:11:48.820 I'm manic right now, guys.

00:11:50.500 They needed people to literally enter the voting area to tell them how to vote.

00:11:55.340 they couldn't even figure out how to vote

00:11:57.880 they needed everything in Bengali

00:11:59.460 and after all of that instruction

00:12:01.760 in a foreign language

00:12:03.820 they still couldn't

00:12:05.860 actually manage to fill out

00:12:07.840 the ballot themselves and allegedly

00:12:09.900 Hafiz supporters

00:12:11.760 or Hafiz officials were having

00:12:13.820 to walk in there or other people

00:12:15.360 to tell people how to then mark the ballot

00:12:17.920 correctly quote unquote

00:12:19.660 you know in the right order

00:12:21.160 yeah the party

00:12:23.680 can't really sweep

00:12:25.340 this under the bus. And then we have on top of that Hafiz having a very sketchy background, 0.96

00:12:32.080 sharing weird fetish content on his Facebook, having sex offenders speaking for him at his

00:12:39.080 meetings, at his town halls, literally a guy convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old

00:12:45.780 was allowed to be, was a spokesperson for him at his event, standing at the front of the room

00:12:51.540 behind a table speaking in favor of Hafiz, a guy who was convicted and reported on in the media

00:12:57.880 because he was still running his own tutoring, his own private tutoring company, which is absolutely

00:13:04.600 wild that that guy was allowed to do that. And at the same time, Hafiz's people had no IDs,

00:13:12.100 couldn't at all, their dogs ate their driver's licenses the day before the vote. They were still 0.98

00:13:17.520 allowed to vote anyways and then when they were voting they needed to be assisted in how to vote

00:13:22.580 in the area where nobody is supposed to be entering but the voter and maybe some election officials

00:13:26.880 to help you out if you need help you know it wasn't election officials it was campaign people

00:13:31.640 having to go in and tell people how to vote you know a family member somebody else helping you

00:13:36.160 force telling you who to like pick this is not a real nomination and this does have federal and

00:13:43.940 provincial implications. The Safis guy probably can't even win the general. Again, I don't really

00:13:49.920 care if the liberals win the by-election or not. It's an NDP safe riding for the most part. I think

00:13:55.640 NES probably has the best prospects of winning it. I wouldn't even vote for the PC party. I think

00:14:00.800 Doug Ford's PCs are way too liberal for me. But this is a problem. You win by only 19 votes.

00:14:07.260 There were 34 more votes counted than people who voted.

00:14:11.080 1,265 people had their memberships wiped out.

00:14:16.160 And then Hafiz was able to have people vote with no IDs or with literally foreign credentials, foreign passports, banking information where you can easily fake if you live there or not.

00:14:28.060 And some people didn't even have any of it.

00:14:30.280 And OLP officials just said, yeah, you can go vote.

00:14:32.620 And I just talked to somebody who was with Nate Erskine-Smith, who said that there were people who were rejected from voting, who were like 14, 15 year olds, you're allowed to vote if you're that, they are citizens of the country, but they were rejected even though their parent was there to vote for them, because they didn't have their ID, and they had to run home and get it.

00:14:54.280 But people who can't speak English, who don't know what they're doing, who didn't have IDs or didn't have proper IDs that match the writing, they are allowed to sally forth into the voting booth and mark a ballot anyways.

00:15:06.000 Do we see how this is a problem? 0.61

00:15:08.840 And again, remember, a fizz said that he only had a few of his own memberships wiped out when the party removed the 1265.

00:15:19.360 Everyone else had hundreds of memberships affected.

00:15:21.840 he had a few and we can't i don't don't give me well we don't know what a few men a few could be

00:15:28.460 a few hundred a few let's be clear probably a dozen maybe two dozen at best could be described

00:15:34.700 as yeah we lost a few you don't so you won't lose 200 or even or more than like 50 and say you had

00:15:41.160 a few lost probably erskine smith as the more experienced politician who has won six elections

00:15:47.480 Probably was the guy probably better poised to actually doing this. But the problem is the insiders of the party don't like Nader Skynesmith, and so they're probably trying to set up Navdeep Baines, the former Liberal MP, to effectively win the Ontario Liberal leadership by humiliating NES in this race, by having him lose to a Domino's pizza chain owner who nobody knows and who is a complete trash fire when you actually look into all the opposition research on the man.

00:16:15.760 His Facebook was full of him wishing death on politicians he didn't like back in Bangladesh, people who were later, like, killed in prison and whatnot.

00:16:24.560 That's the type of person the Ontario Liberals are running. 1.00

00:16:28.060 It's just stupid, garbage diaspora politics on top of classic nomination rigging and what looks to be voter fraud. 1.00

00:16:37.760 The Ontario Liberals are just going to stick this one through? 1.00

00:16:40.840 You don't have to be a Liberal, and I'm not one, to care about this.

00:16:44.900 because guess what? This goes on in all parties, and it's ruining our democracy. This is kind of

00:16:51.800 a big deal, if you haven't noticed. And it's very intelligent for Erskine Smith to just say,

00:16:58.780 hey, redo the nomination or appoint a different guy, investigate this problem early, and don't

00:17:04.320 even pick me. Don't let it be me, because what Nate wants is he at least doesn't want to be

00:17:09.320 humiliated in this whole thing. And so they're in a bit of a standoff. The party really wants

00:17:13.940 to humiliate NES and make him not viable to run for leader. But if they ignore this, this is going

00:17:19.400 to become a scandal for the party and make them not very credible in the public. But if they do,

00:17:25.160 so basically, if they want to continue humiliating him and not letting him be the candidate,

00:17:30.700 it's going to make the party's grassroots give up on them. I know, as a conservative,

00:17:35.180 it's weird to think that there is such a thing as liberal grassroots, but there are.

00:17:39.060 Nader Skynesmith is very much a grassroots liberal. I would say the liberals tend to be

00:17:42.940 a very corporate party but they have little bits and pieces of grassroots people even the pc party

00:17:48.340 i would say is mostly just a corporate party in ontario at this point there's nobody who really

00:17:52.340 represents like the common man it's you know you're one of doug for a ford's friends or at

00:17:57.540 least he's not threatened by you so he'll let you run for the party but parties still have those

00:18:01.940 little bits and pieces so if the ontario liberals don't reinstate uh nes they're going to look 1.00

00:18:08.520 stupid. And if they do reinstate him, they're effectively admitting to having faked the 0.98

00:18:14.100 nomination. I think what they're probably going to do is just look at Hafiz's background and be

00:18:20.300 like, oh, yeah, that's weird that you posted fetish content, incest fetish content on your 0.78

00:18:26.440 Facebook. Oh, that's weird that you, you know, happened to win by 19 votes in this race. Oh,

00:18:32.380 it's weird that you let a sex offender speak for you at an event. Oh, it's weird that you keep

00:18:36.500 calling for people's deaths in bangladesh maybe we can't let you be the candidate for that reason

00:18:41.660 then they won't admit that this is obviously fraudulent and maybe they'll let nadir sky smith

00:18:47.020 be the candidate or they'll let just like the third place person kadira jackson be the candidate

00:18:53.180 and just move on and then nes doesn't get humiliated the party doesn't have to admit

00:18:58.540 wrongdoing i don't i hope that doesn't happen because more parties need to be caught with

00:19:04.100 their hand in the cookie jar putting ballots in ballot boxes because this looks like ballot box

00:19:09.420 stuffing to me a little bit you know maybe again i'm just seeing things here but if this is true

00:19:16.500 that the voter list when they checked off who voted had 34 less people who entered the polling

00:19:22.360 station than actually voted that's fraudulent somebody should be sued and they cannot run away

00:19:29.360 from this. And again, this has big implications for federal politics because if NES then goes and

00:19:35.040 runs provincially, that opens up Beaches, East York, which by the way right now is a very good

00:19:41.280 riding for Avi Lewis. Actually, I just want to bring up the Main Street polling data right here

00:19:47.160 and show you guys how good of a riding right now this could be for the federal NDP.

00:19:53.200 Sorry about that cut. I did have to clear the board because now I want to talk about the Main

00:19:57.640 Street research poll for Nate Erskine Smith's current Beaches East York riding. If he vacates

00:20:05.000 and there is a by-election, if Avi Lewis, the current NDP leader, does not run for this by-election,

00:20:11.960 the results are going to look pretty similar to what it was last time. The Liberals would

00:20:17.320 win by an absolutely gargantuan number literally getting 67 percent of the vote compared to what

00:20:29.080 we have here with the NDP actually coming in third place behind the conservatives the

00:20:34.760 conservatives getting 17 percent of the vote and the NDP sadly only getting 12 percent

00:20:44.040 and then i'll also mark down the greens here because they are somewhat relevant even though

00:20:50.640 right here they only grab three percent of the vote but if avi lewis was to run in the in the

00:21:02.100 riding for nate erskine smith's old riding in beaches east york he would actually with decided

00:21:07.440 voters according to the main street research poll and this is like a few hundred people in the

00:21:12.080 riding, which is a pretty good quality poll for a local thing, they would actually jump up to being

00:21:18.180 in the lead with 43% of the vote, with the Liberals then trailing behind with just 39%

00:21:29.020 of the vote. So we have an absolutely massive swing from the Liberals to the NDP if Avi Lewis

00:21:36.940 ends up stepping into the riding and it makes sense because avi lewis is very much like a

00:21:41.840 progressive progressive in the same way that nate erskine smith is nate erskine smith is a liberal

00:21:48.800 but he's very much of an orange coded liberal and so if you run the leader of the mdp it kind of

00:21:53.600 gets people's attention in this progressive progressive riding the uh the greens fall down

00:21:58.160 to just two points and it was relevant because in a tight election him being able to steal one

00:22:03.480 one third of the green vote is a big deal at the same time he's also chipping away and grabbing up

00:22:08.800 massive portions of the liberal vote so it literally goes from being a plus 50 liberal

00:22:16.820 victory over in the conservatives not the ndp to being a plus four victory for the ndp in this

00:22:25.820 riding if nate ruskine smith wins the scarborough southwest nomination and this riding has avi

00:22:32.960 Lewis, the NDP leader, run in it instead. This is why I have this theory that despite the fact

00:22:39.280 that Mark Carney kind of endorsed Erskine Smith in this weird shotgun wedding type endorsement

00:22:44.500 video, he doesn't want him to leave because this could be the new reality. He doesn't just lose a

00:22:51.120 riding for a few months and then has to replace him in a troublesome by-election. No, no, he could

00:22:56.780 lose that by-election and have an NDP MP take the seat, and not just any MP MP, but the leader

00:23:04.520 of the NDP giving Avi Lewis a lot more power and influence inside of Parliament. That would mean

00:23:11.180 that Carney, if he replaced Jonathan Wilkinson and gets another Liberal through there, he is

00:23:16.020 running on a one-seat majority, which means every vote really counts. If somebody is sick, you can't

00:23:21.800 pass something for a week because they can't make it to Parliament to vote. It really does matter

00:23:26.840 here. Anyways, so that should be it for today, guys. Hopefully you understand why this whole

00:23:33.440 situation is so important, even if you're not an Ontario Liberal. I definitely am not, but

00:23:38.800 shenanigans like this happen all the time, and when things are not being, you know, done properly,

00:23:44.340 it has ripple effects throughout politics. Am I kind of interested in seeing Carney lose

00:23:50.180 Beaches East York to the NDP. That would be quite funny to me. Sure, but you can't just look at it

00:23:55.840 as, well, Wyatt wants his particular, you know, damage done to Mark Carney, and that's why he

00:24:00.740 wants Erskine Smith to win Scarborough Southwest and vacate Beaches East York and have it won by

00:24:04.980 the NDP. Okay, sure, you can say that about me. At the same time, if this is where the flow of

00:24:11.000 politics is going, having insiders just cut it off for their own interests is kind of corrupt.

00:24:17.180 it kind of ruins the whole system when, you know, the entire course of politics is just being

00:24:22.780 decided by people stuffing ballot boxes and deleting memberships. It's what is turning

00:24:27.740 Canada into a banana republic compared to the United States in terms of our elections.
