If you were looking for a sign that Premier David Eby and the BCNDP know that they are
00:00:05.340
currently losing the British Columbia provincial election, look no further than the fact that
00:00:10.540
David Eby bothered showing up to his local candidates debate in his home riding of Vancouver
00:00:16.220
Point Grey. I was in fact there last night because I wanted to watch it live and now I'm here today
00:00:22.860
to give you my review of it. And warning up front, this might be a bit of a disorganized and rambly
00:00:29.440
video. There's just a lot I want to touch on about the debate, both the way that the candidates
00:00:34.100
acted, their answers to questions, as well as like the crowd that attended, stuff as minute as that.
00:00:39.980
I think it gives you good insights into how the race is going both locally to Vancouver Point Grey
00:00:45.620
as well as provincial wide. Now starting off, I just quickly want to say before we get into it,
00:00:52.060
if you live in Vancouver Point Grey, I cannot recommend enough that you vote for the conservative
00:00:58.080
candidate, Paul Ratchford, who depending on the model you look at is either currently favored or
00:01:04.480
only ever so slightly behind David Eby in the probability to win the riding. Please vote for
00:01:10.480
that guy if you live in that riding. Not only is he a fantastic candidate, I know Paul personally,
00:01:17.040
but he's also not David Eby, I think the best quality about the man, at least that I see.
00:01:23.120
Anyways, so starting off, when I had first gone to this debate, I actually went with my mom,
00:01:30.080
she happens to be in town and wants to watch some of this stuff. And so we actually bumped into a lady
00:01:36.200
who was on David Eby's local campaign last time in 2020 when John Horgan was the BC NDP leader.
00:01:44.180
She is currently voting BC conservative because she said that as soon as David Eby became the premier,
00:01:49.920
he almost became unlike himself. He does not care at all what normal people think of anymore.
00:01:55.440
This is a lady who had voted NDP for decades, but she just can't stand them anymore because they seem
00:02:02.480
to not actually care about the concerns of middle class people or even people, whatever class they
00:02:08.480
are, that they can't afford the taxes, that the crime's out of control, that the drug problems are
00:02:13.440
absolutely insane. This isn't somebody who became right wing. This is somebody who is still definitely on
00:02:18.880
the left, just cannot stand the NDP. I know she's still definitely on the left because at one point
00:02:24.240
out of nowhere, she just made the remark that if Donald Trump became becomes the president of the
00:02:28.240
US again, that country's doomed, but she still won't vote for David Eby regardless. So that was somebody
00:02:34.880
we just casually bumped into outside going inside. It was very clear that the audience had showed up for
00:02:41.760
Paul Ratchford, not in the way where parties will push people to show up to the local debates or local
00:02:47.360
events to make it look like their side super popular. You always see this in Democratic and
00:02:51.600
Republican primaries in the US that certain candidates seem to have a large portion of
00:02:57.680
the audience with them. And you always have candidates are complaining at each other that
00:03:01.600
you gave a bunch, you got a bunch of extra tickets for your people and they're all sitting right up
00:03:06.000
front. But this was truly an audience that was organically there because they like Paul Ratchford
00:03:11.280
and they do not like David Eby. I was sitting in the upper deck so I could kind of observe
00:03:16.240
where applause and people kind of cheering were coming from. Whenever Paul Ratchford would say
00:03:21.200
something that people agreed with, it would be like applause everywhere in the upper deck and the
00:03:25.440
lower deck and it was kind of spread around. There's like little pockets where it's a little
00:03:28.400
bit louder over here or over there or, you know, up there. But with David Eby, if he said anything,
00:03:34.160
usually very cheap organic lines to get applause about, like, we don't want conspiracy theorists
00:03:40.160
in government or whatever, there'd be like a big like yell that would happen. Like if I'm sitting
00:03:45.840
here to my right in a little pocket up in the main auditorium area, just a pocket right there.
00:03:52.160
And then you'd have some smaller scattered clapping elsewhere for the BC NDP. But if it was the
00:03:57.600
conservative is everywhere. And even actually the Green Party candidates seem to be trying to plant
00:04:01.680
people around the room to make it look like she had more support because I actually saw them like
00:04:05.200
coordinating like, you go stand over by that stairwell and you go stand over there. And
00:04:08.880
it was like very diffuse, even though they didn't have many supporters, it was very strange.
00:04:13.440
But David Eby's team clearly planted a bunch of HQ people to show up, local candidate volunteers just
00:04:21.120
to show up and cheer for them, even though they either don't live in the riding or they wouldn't have
00:04:25.680
come unless the party compelled them to. Whereas the Ratchford people actually showed up because
00:04:30.400
they wanted to be there. Now, there's a piece of data here that really makes me feel like the BC NDP's
00:04:37.120
comms team agree with me that EB did not in fact win the global news televised debate. Rustad obviously
00:04:44.560
won because he talked about the issues that people care about. Polls are coming out two days after all
00:04:49.680
the media keep saying EB won, EB won, showing that still more people thought that John Rustad in fact won.
00:04:56.480
And why I say the comms team for the BC NDP seem to agree with me is that EB was not nearly as
00:05:03.600
childish, not nearly as jabbing at this debate than he was back with Rustad in that televised
00:05:10.480
debate. It was a bad look, he looked adolescent, not becoming of a premier at all. But EB still came
00:05:17.280
out kind of swinging in this debate. I believe it was the Green Party candidate that went first,
00:05:21.920
then it was David Eby, and then Ratchford for opening statements. The Green Party lady, I forget
00:05:27.680
what her first name was, last name Singh, she really lived up to the label I gave to Sonia
00:05:35.280
first to know in the global news debate that a lot of Green Party candidates are just farmers market
00:05:40.320
communists. She kept stumping against LNG and resource development and talking about how we need
00:05:45.840
urban densification and equity and screw rich people and stuff like that. It was weird. The
00:05:51.680
good thing is she's actually the Green Party candidate from last time, so I don't doubt she's
00:05:55.120
going to shave off a lot of hyper progressives off of EB because EB is being forced to take slightly more
00:06:00.560
conservative positions 30 days before the election is held. You know, the typical kind of flip-flopping
00:06:06.400
of a failing government regardless. But David Eby, he came out and said, well, if we want to push forward
00:06:12.720
in this province, we need to stay the course, all this nonsense about how actually everything's
00:06:17.600
totally good and you're stupid if you don't realize that it's good even though there's drugs
00:06:21.120
everywhere, needles, people are in poverty, people can't afford homes, all this other stuff. And then
00:06:25.600
he said, we can't move forward with people who don't have a costed budget and they're running
00:06:30.240
conspiracy theorists and whatnot. And then he took a jab at Paul Ratchford directly because the BCNDP
00:06:35.920
have tried to make him like a crazy candidate. Paul's a very nice person. He is a very patient
00:06:41.840
person. He is not a fiery individual who's screaming and yelling. If anything, this was
00:06:46.080
actually a repeated global news debate where EB starts off trying to cast Rusted and Ratchford
00:06:52.560
as being unhinged or erratic and they're far more professional than he is. And then when it went to
00:06:58.400
Ratchford, immediately EB started doing the thing from the global news debate where he like leans over
00:07:03.760
and he starts staring. And I have all these leftists on Twitter trying to say, oh, Wyatt has no social
00:07:10.160
skills. You look at the person who's speaking. That's called respect. No, guys, it's different
00:07:16.160
to look at someone having coffee with them, sitting across the table, holding your coffee and looking
00:07:21.680
at them while they tell their story. And at a debate where you're supposed to be kind of looking to the
00:07:26.000
audience because the event is about the audience that showed up, your constituents, that there's a
00:07:31.120
difference between looking at someone while you're talking to them personally and then staring at your
00:07:35.680
debate opponent leaning over the table, trying to physically dominate the space.
00:07:41.040
When you're sitting on a stage and you have a microphone in front of you and your opponent
00:07:45.200
is to your I think Ratchford was to EB's left, you would you maybe turn your head a little bit
00:07:51.520
because the Green Party candidate was doing that because she's a normal human being.
00:07:55.280
When someone else is talking at the debate, she looks a little bit towards him, but it's still
00:07:59.200
mostly playing towards the audience because the point is the audience. Same thing in a televised
00:08:04.320
debate does not matter if there's no literal physical TV audience sitting in front of you.
00:08:08.880
You look towards the camera because the people watching you are at are looking at you through
00:08:14.240
that camera. I don't know why I have to explain this, but leftists know that David
00:08:18.480
Evie's in trouble. So they're going to say, oh, Wyatt doesn't know how social cues work.
00:08:23.120
Shut up, guys. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's why everyone stares at their opponents and it's not
00:08:28.560
just Evie, whatever. It's such an Al Gore thing to do. If you ever remember that moment from the 2000
00:08:33.840
debate, obviously I was like one years old, but I still watch clips of this stuff where like Al Gore
00:08:39.840
walks up to George W. Bush and tries to physically intimidate him and George W. Bush just kind of
00:08:43.760
gives him a nod because it's so weird and it ends up being embarrassing for Al Gore. That's effectively
00:08:49.520
what happened to Evie in the televised debate. But as soon as Ratchford got to his opening statement,
00:08:54.720
he started jabbing Evie back. He started saying that these guys have failed for seven straight years.
00:09:00.160
They don't listen to you. Every single plan they have is just more money for the same radical plans.
00:09:05.520
That's when Evie started getting very cool the rest of the debate. Also, stop looking at Paul.
00:09:10.640
When the attack started, suddenly Evie remembers that it's weird to stare at someone, especially
00:09:15.360
when they're absolutely dunking on you and your terrible record. So Evie starts looking around the
00:09:20.880
room and starts rolling his eyes. And I can prove it to you because Ratchford's people filmed the debate
00:09:27.440
and they've cut up some clips here and they actually show the answers. It's not like they're cutting up
00:09:31.840
two seconds here, three seconds there. It's not a CTV edit. That demonstrates how uncomfortable
00:09:37.600
David Evie started looking like when Paul started going after his awful record. He looks uncomfortable.
00:09:44.400
He's peevish. He looks like he's better than this. I shouldn't have to be here facing the peasants
00:09:49.920
telling me that my bad record is bad. Just take a look at this. This is something that actually happened a
00:09:55.680
little bit later in the debate, but it was a big moment. We have a lot of people living in their
00:09:59.680
cars in our community. I don't know if you've noticed on 4th, on the Blanca. They used to live
00:10:07.120
on 16th, the Blanca Pacific Spirit. It is a real tragedy that there's people living in their cars
00:10:15.840
It's been seven years now. There's only so long you can go on with the Smokineers Act,
00:10:25.840
the deflections, pretending like we care and we're going to make something happen, but nothing ever
00:10:31.840
happens to actually improve people's lives. That's the issue here. When we look at our units at Broadway,
00:10:38.720
it's a great example. There's a neighborhood group there that issued a call for change and a new
00:10:44.320
direction in this process. A direction that actually addresses the needs of people because
00:10:49.440
congregating at-risk people into 129 units of SRO-style housing doesn't make sense for at-risk
00:10:56.800
people. It doesn't make sense for the community. It simply doesn't work. That should be common sense.
00:11:02.800
I've been glad to see a little bit of a move in the direction of the voluntary care side because we do
00:11:08.800
need to go in that direction. There are people who are suffering from serious issues and they're
00:11:15.200
at risk themselves in the communities. We saw in downtown Vancouver, again, the case of the person
00:11:20.480
who had over 60 interactions with the police and they had serious mental health decline before they
00:11:24.160
went and chopped off my hand and killed the person. That's totally unacceptable. It's on your watch,
00:11:33.280
You actually had tons of... I think that's pretty much it for that. There's another clip I want to
00:11:39.120
show in a second here. That was a little bit longer, but that was kind of like they had like
00:11:43.760
uncomfortable moments where David Eby would stop even interacting with Paul for the rest of the debate
00:11:49.040
because Paul showed up with ammunition. David Eby would throw out the little, you know,
00:11:55.840
Paul once said something on social media that you might disapprove of. And Paul would be like,
00:12:01.120
you know, drug deaths are up significantly since you guys are in power. Literally half the drug
00:12:07.760
deaths are happening currently in British Columbia that are occurring in Canada. And David Eby had
00:12:12.480
nothing to respond to it. And even at the start of that clip, when Paul started talking, you could
00:12:16.640
even hear that it was a more organic pro-conservative crowd because as he was mentioning that all this
00:12:22.080
has happened on your watch, you got the kind of, oh, and kind of like some slight clapping,
00:12:25.520
and it was like diffuse. It wasn't like a big artificial, yeah, Paul out of like nowhere.
00:12:31.760
David Eby was just uncomfortable the entire debate because the man cannot actually stand up for his
00:12:37.120
record at all. There was a lot of people at the debate, probably about 250, 300 people there.
00:12:43.120
That was not a good crowd for David Eby outside of his hired crew of volunteers showing up. I want to
00:12:50.480
get to another clip here because there was just a lot of moments where Paul would just say,
00:12:54.160
didn't you say that you were going to do this and then you didn't do this?
00:12:58.160
Rustad didn't do this during the televised debate. And some people will probably say in the comments,
00:13:02.400
well, I wish Rustad would have also made these points. The difference with Rustad is Rustad had
00:13:06.480
a perfect performance for the global news debate because Eby had done so much to try and demonize
00:13:12.080
Rustad as erratic, crazy, unprofessional, just like just unstrung. Oh my goodness, my own clip
00:13:20.240
jump scared me there. But he had done so much to do that. By Rustad just showing up and just being
00:13:24.880
professional, he ended up disproving every single lie told about him. And Eby, in fact, was the one
00:13:30.640
jumping around, pointing fingers, staring at people. And that's why the debate performance is so bad.
00:13:35.520
That's why as soon as it seemed like Paul was actually going to take shots at Eby back,
00:13:40.400
he was going to start throwing punches. That's when David Eby almost did this silent,
00:13:44.240
well, you know, let's have an understanding here. Let's not fight too much. Let's be
00:13:48.160
cordial and nice. David Eby is not a cordial person. He's a nasty, low person, but he also cannot stand up
00:13:56.000
to a fair fight where someone is going to come back at him with ammo and the media and moderators are not
00:14:01.600
there to save him. Even in this debate, although I think the moderators did a good job of managing
00:14:06.720
the event, I'm wondering if David Eby wouldn't have showed up to the debate unless he got certain
00:14:12.080
guarantees. Because every question was supposedly sent in from members of the community. Every
00:14:17.440
question was about zoning. It was about specific building projects in the riding boundaries. And
00:14:24.080
while you should maybe have a couple questions about that, because it's very local issues that your
00:14:28.000
MLA is supposed to be taken care of, where was the tax question? Where was the crime question or
00:14:32.000
the drug question? Paul would have to kind of side swipe into other topics to be able to talk about
00:14:38.080
them where all the questions were trying to be as boring as possible. But at the same time, even the
00:14:43.120
questions they were asking Eby were so bad for him to be voicing his opinion on. Because if you don't
00:14:48.960
know Vancouver Point Grey, and it's not that you have to live there, I definitely don't live there,
00:14:53.280
you immediately striving into it, it is an upper middle class riding. Right now, the conservatives
00:14:59.680
are winning people who are making more than 80,000 $100,000 a year. A lot of business owners tend
00:15:06.240
to vote for the conservatives. That's why higher income earners are voting conservative. In fact,
00:15:10.000
when actually it shows a lot of lower income earners are voting NDP, that's not actually true. It's not
00:15:14.720
people like struggling voting NDP, where the NDP want to pretend they're like the working class heroes,
00:15:19.280
it's actually mostly retirees who are on more fixed incomes, but they own their own home and whatnot.
00:15:23.760
But there's a lot of homeowners in Vancouver Point Grey. And David Eby kept stepping all over
00:15:30.560
himself, because he basically kept saying, I'm going to hyper densify your neighborhood, I'm going to cut
00:15:34.480
out some parks. And this clip right here concerns David Eby lying about being in favor of the parks board
00:15:41.280
that was basically created to be able to maintain the parks and be able to actually, you know, mitigate
00:15:48.960
the city of Vancouver from just like cutting out a bunch of green space to build densified housing.
00:15:54.320
And there should always be conversations of where densified housing should go. But the approach that
00:15:59.920
Eby as well as the NDP would take is just wipe out a single family detached house and jam in a sixplex.
00:16:05.840
Who cares if people can't park kind of stuff. But and Paul does a great job of dunking on Eby at this
00:16:12.640
They're very proud of the work that they did in the park board. And they're very proud of the park board.
00:16:16.880
It's very interesting to hear David Eby say that because earlier this year in March,
00:16:22.960
he was talking about working with the city to dissolve the park board.
00:16:27.040
So I'm not sure, I'm not sure if this is another one of the many flip flops that we've seen,
00:16:32.800
but you can look that up on the media and I would welcome you to do so. And I, you know,
00:16:37.840
I have concerns about protecting our green spaces, especially as the city continues to grow.
00:16:43.840
This is a, this is a critical item. You know, our leader has been very clear that he wants to see
00:16:48.400
more of a democratic process with respect to our decision making around the parks board. And I
00:16:54.320
absolutely support that. That is, that is critical. It's a major decision in the future.
00:16:58.320
You don't need to see all these questions, but overall, obviously Paul Ratchford is not a
00:17:03.200
professional debater. He has not had the practice. He has not had the, the debating experience that
00:17:08.880
David Eby has, but the difference with him and Eby, just as the same thing occurred in the global
00:17:14.880
news debate between John Rustad and David Eby is that the Ratchford and Rustad are talking about
00:17:22.000
things that people actually care about. As soon as he called them out, and it's for saying in March,
00:17:26.480
you want to dissolve the parks board. You could, again, all around the auditorium, not like this
00:17:31.200
group of people trying to get some gasp started. Just everyone was like, what the heck is like Eby
00:17:35.840
is such a liar. Like that's so ridiculous that you're now here saying that you're unfair to the
00:17:39.360
parks board. When this guy can get a media article out of, like out of thin air or not out of thin air,
00:17:44.960
I mean like he can pull it out of the internet very easily showing that it was only a few months back
00:17:49.600
that you wanted to dissolve the thing. Eby is not consistent. He is alienating middle class voters in
00:17:55.600
favor of hyper progressive urbanite people. And that is not enough of a base to win on. And also,
00:18:02.400
it's not enough to win on when he's running in his own local riding against the same Green Party lady
00:18:07.840
who's continuing to grab up more and more of the hard left progressive voters who Eby needs to be able to
00:18:14.960
save him in this election. That's the one thing I'll give to the green lady, very confident speaker,
00:18:20.400
probably a lawyer, you know, real estate agent, somebody who's very outgoing and extroverted.
00:18:25.760
Although she, again, she did live up to why I called Sonia first to know in the global news debate,
00:18:31.360
a farmer's market communist. Her entire thing was let's get rid of LNG. Let's get rid of like,
00:18:36.480
you know, industrialization is bad. We need hyper densification. But then she would actually
00:18:41.040
contradict herself whenever there's a question about specific densification in the area that's
00:18:45.280
been controversial. She's like, well, we'll put it under review. We'll do some community stuff and
00:18:49.360
we'll talk to the community and maybe we don't need densification there. I'm like, well, then where
00:18:52.800
are you going to put it lady? Obviously, you know that you're just pushing some hyper equity type
00:18:58.080
positions where you don't actually care if the project's popular or not, because it's more equitable
00:19:02.880
to jam and affordable housing in a place where they don't need it. Both Eby and her saying started
00:19:08.960
like clutching their pearls because Ratchford called the safe injection site that had those
00:19:14.160
long term, long term living facilities in them, a drug den or whatever specific term he used,
00:19:20.320
because it is in fact a drug den. He was like, that's housing for seniors. Okay, just because
00:19:25.600
there's some senior staying there doesn't mean it hasn't become a hotbed of drug sales, crack use,
00:19:31.920
and all this other stuff. It was ridiculous. But Eby was weak. Eby looked like he was on his back foot.
00:19:38.720
He knew that he if he said the wrong thing there, he was going to lose voters in that room. And I
00:19:43.520
think he did do that several times, even though the questions seem to be milder, easier things where
00:19:49.520
he's not going to get roasted in the media for. But I guarantee you, Eby's not going to put out any
00:19:54.160
clips from that debate. He's not going to do anything like that. And maybe you say, well,
00:19:57.600
it's a local candidates debate. Why would he do that? Well, I thought Paul Ratchford is supposed to be a
00:20:02.480
crazy candidate. Why don't you have a clip of you confronting him over what he said,
00:20:06.800
and him looking uncomfortable? Because what Paul Ratchford said that the NDP tried to hit him for
00:20:12.000
is not actually controversial. People agree with him. And to try and go after his specific language
00:20:17.120
is just the woke, scold crap that's making people stop voting NDP from a long time before this year,
00:20:24.000
when everyone started consolidating behind the conservatives. Again, going back, there was a
00:20:29.200
woman who helped on Eby's 2020 local campaign in Point Grey, still very much a lefty voter,
00:20:36.640
still somebody who would be voting maybe NDP on a federal level, does not want to vote Eby because
00:20:42.800
he thinks he'd gone arrogant and he doesn't care about the actual quality of life of middle class
00:20:48.800
people anymore. He has his ideological priorities and he doesn't care if you can't actually handle
00:20:54.320
the taxes to pay for it. And the NDP trying to go after the conservatives, where's your cost
00:20:58.880
costed platform? Where's your costed platform? I'm going to tell you guys, the conservatives
00:21:03.760
probably will put out the full costed platform at some point. Costed platforms usually come from
00:21:08.720
parties with a big budget. The NDP are running with $8 million of taxpayer money in their campaign
00:21:14.480
bank account. The conservatives are running with $200,000. So yeah, I'm not going to be too upset
00:21:21.760
if the conservatives took longer to get the full costed platform out because they don't have the
00:21:26.400
resources to hire their own economists to go over the entire thing, financial accountants,
00:21:32.160
to make sure everything's all squared up. They kind of don't have the time for it because they're
00:21:36.320
trying to win an election, not win a stupid university debate over whose platform is more
00:21:41.760
professionally created. Even though the NDP platform is always a lie, it always shows, oh,
00:21:46.560
reducing deficits over time if we maintain this spending, but they're not going to maintain the
00:21:50.640
spending. They haven't done it in the past seven years. So whenever the liberals federally or the NDP
00:21:55.360
provincially come out and say, we have a full costed platform that shows deficits going down
00:21:59.760
and debt levels going down per capita, it's never happened ever. So don't believe it. They're full
00:22:06.560
of garbage when they say that we have a full costed platform. They have nothing. They're just making
00:22:11.200
stuff up. So yeah, I think Paul Ratchford did a really good job in this debate because he spoke
00:22:16.320
about things people cared about. Taxes are too high. There's way too much crime. We need more police.
00:22:21.680
The drug policies are insane. All this stuff, hyper densification cannot work. You have to have more
00:22:26.960
community input. You can't do everything top down. And EB was just talking about how everything's
00:22:31.840
actually great. Nobody's recognizing it. And then the green lady was like talking about how we can like
00:22:36.480
base our economy on like farmer's market jam or whatever, and that we should need to kill rich
00:22:40.640
people. At one point, David EB actually tried to sideswipe Chip Wilson, the billionaire,
00:22:45.680
the guy who founded Lululemon. And in that crowd of people, and there was a lot of people who I could
00:22:51.360
tell were neutral, they wouldn't clap when anyone was saying anything. They were like,
00:22:55.840
they seemed annoyed when he started going after Chip Wilson. Because guess what? Chip Wilson's
00:22:59.840
created more jobs in BC than David EB ever has. And I'm talking about real jobs, not fake government
00:23:05.520
jobs where you hire 10,000 people to do stuff and you can't even describe what they actually do.
00:23:10.320
David EB lost 18,000 jobs last month in September. Because it turns out that when you keep taking
00:23:17.440
other people's money to fund bloated programs that aren't actually making anyone's lives better,
00:23:21.920
eventually the people who create jobs leave the province and the jobs disappear. And it doesn't
00:23:27.120
matter how much the government wants to create jobs through programs, you need the money of the
00:23:32.160
people who just left to be able to actually create them unless you want the deficit to triple
00:23:36.400
in just a couple of years. Eventually, economics catches up with you. And it will definitely,
00:23:41.280
I believe, catch up with David Eby in this particular election. Because with record-breaking
00:23:46.320
numbers of people voting in advance polls, with the Conservatives, with not a massive budget,
00:23:50.240
it's not like the Conservatives are pushing their people out with big campaign teams. It's people
00:23:54.640
showing up themselves. They don't like the current government. The NTP's voter base is apathetic.
00:24:01.120
Yes, there's always the very committed progressive saying, of course, I'm voting David Eby. I voted
00:24:06.320
early. As soon as the polls opened, I broke open the doors to go vote for them. But really,
00:24:10.640
the average person who even may be in a poll says they're voting NDP, what's their motivation to show
00:24:15.360
up for four more years of this? Even if they truly in their heart believed it would be better than
00:24:19.600
the Conservatives, is it good enough that you're actually going to bother showing up and voting
00:24:24.240
instead of going camping for whatever other plans you had? Or, you know, it's been a hard day at work.
00:24:29.200
Am I really going to pull over the car coming home from work to vote for David Eby? No,
00:24:35.040
they've been doing a bad job. And you have to have been doing a good job to cast aspersions at other
00:24:39.840
people and say that the Conservatives are bad when they haven't been in government since 1927.
00:24:45.040
They have not won a majority government since 1927. They haven't elected an MP or an MLA since 1972.
00:24:51.280
Maybe it's time to give the provincial Conservatives another chance,
00:24:54.320
you know, prior to the centennial of their last government.
00:24:59.520
Oh, all annoying. All very annoying. But that's my review of the debate.
00:25:04.240
Thanks for watching this, guys. If it was a bit disorganized, I apologize just how it tends to work
00:25:09.840
out. I'll probably comment a little bit here and there more about the debate as I think about things
00:25:15.360
in the future and more clips come out when I'm talking about other things related to the BC election.
00:25:20.240
