Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Strap in folks, it's story time today on the channel and I
00:00:06.880
apologize in advance if this feels a little bit long and rambly but the timeline is quite
00:00:12.880
extensive and there's a lot of details I want to cover. I'm going to truncate the prologue a bit
00:00:18.060
but effectively this is the tale of how I became the most hated staffer in BC after just my first
00:00:25.420
three days on the job for independent MLA Tara Armstrong. For a little background, there are
00:00:31.560
three MLAs currently sitting in the BC legislature right now. That is Dallas Brody, Tara Armstrong,
00:00:38.640
and Jordan Keeley. Tara Armstrong and Jordan Keeley ended up leaving the BC Conservative Party after
00:00:44.180
John Rustad kicked out Dallas Brody for standing against the grave hoax in Kamloops. That was
00:00:50.660
effectively what was going on. She was standing up for lawyers being forced by the law association
00:00:55.400
to basically endorse untruth and say there are 215 dead children under the Kamloops Residential
00:01:01.940
School. It's effectively proven that that's not true. They won't even excavate because the band
00:01:07.580
doesn't want to find out that they're completely wrong about it and it's just a septic field that's
00:01:12.360
built alongside the school. Residential schools can be bad but there also cannot be 215 dead children
00:01:19.460
there. But people tie these two things together and they're like, well, if you deny this then you're
00:01:24.800
denying residential schools. And that's effectively what happened inside the BC Conservative Party with
00:01:30.560
people like Alia Warbus and Eleanor Sterko and Misty Van Poptah and others screaming at people like
00:01:37.120
Dallas Brody and getting mad because she will not embrace the new woke orthodoxy. And Tara and Jordan
00:01:44.120
were not cool with this. And so after Dallas got kicked out, they ended up leaving in principle
00:01:48.940
with her. I currently work for independent MLA Tara Armstrong. That's who I started working for last
00:01:55.180
week. And now let's get into what went down when I was in Victoria last week. I still mostly live in
00:02:02.780
Calgary. I work remotely. I'm even going to get into what I make working for Tara Armstrong. It's not
00:02:08.400
very much and actually it ties into this video because I got attacked by four separate MLAs who ended up
00:02:15.920
bringing up how much I make and getting very embarrassed by the response from me. But let's
00:02:22.040
talk a little bit about Bill 14 and Bill 15. You've probably heard at this point about Bill 7 in British
00:02:29.260
Columbia. It's a giant power grab bill where David Eby and the BCNDP government are trying to just
00:02:35.980
effectively enforce or use the trade war with the US, which isn't really much of a trade war anymore,
00:02:42.260
anymore, in order to basically take over the economy, say what products are allowed to be on
00:02:47.320
the shelves, give handouts to industries they like, you know, reject American products from entering the
00:02:53.140
province. Ridiculous stuff. And 14 and 15 are kind of an extension of that, where the government is
00:02:59.420
trying to take special powers into cabinet to rubber stamp projects it likes and reject projects
00:03:05.720
it doesn't like when it comes to renewable resource projects as well as infrastructure. Bill 14 is the
00:03:11.380
renewables bill where they can basically say a wind farm is going to go over here and rubber stamp it
00:03:16.360
and go through all the permitting process in a truncated fashion where they don't have to do
00:03:21.420
environmental reviews. And in theory, they could skip First Nation band council consultations and
00:03:27.300
whatnot. Technically, in theory, it's not bad to want a sped up process to getting a project started
00:03:34.460
and finished. But it's the arbitrary nature that makes these bills really stupid. Bill 15 is the
00:03:39.740
infrastructure one where in theory, if they want to build a new bridge, they can rubber stamp the like
00:03:46.080
basically the approval process to have it fast tracked so you don't have to go through years and
00:03:50.440
years environmental and First Nations consultations. And on this bill, the three MLAs that I work with
00:03:57.800
are not showing up and voting because it's a stupid bill. But at the same time, the BC Conservatives and
00:04:04.200
the BC Greens, and if those two factions are working together, you know, it's not coming. They're not
00:04:08.400
the ideas are not fantastic. If the Conservatives are agreeing with the Greens, they're arguing against
00:04:14.020
this bill from the perspective that the bills are bad, not because they're arbitrary in their
00:04:19.280
implementation, not because it picks winners and losers. The bills are bad because it doesn't respect
00:04:25.800
First Nation band council consultations enough. It doesn't, it doesn't respect their land title
00:04:32.240
enough. It doesn't go through the proper environmental regulatory process. They sound like
00:04:39.060
they're leftists. The BC Conservatives are arguing against Bill 14 and 15 from an even bigger government
00:04:45.660
perspective. You can't make it up. So right now, the debate on these two bills, which the MLAs are not
00:04:52.160
voting for, are basically vote in favor of this crappy bill that gives cabinet the power to pick
00:04:58.200
winners and losers, or vote in favor or vote no, and support the intolerable status quo. And so the
00:05:07.120
MLAs are just not voting for it. Instead, they're planning on trying to amend these bills to try and,
00:05:11.920
you know, short circuit the whole process and turn them into something good. It's a stupid game. So
00:05:16.800
they're not playing the stupid game. So they're going to try and find a different way of actually making
00:05:20.600
it work while not supporting one of the two really dumb positions in this debate. Now, the BC Conservatives
00:05:27.780
are trying to blame Armstrong, Keeley, and Brody for the BC NDP now still being in government because
00:05:34.420
apparently if the BC or the independents showed up, we would have a new election and a conservative
00:05:39.460
government. Here, the BC Conservatives say in a post on X, the radical BC NDP have survived a second
00:05:46.360
confidence vote thanks to the three independent MLAs, Tara Armstrong, Dallas Brody, and Jordan
00:05:50.960
Keeley, who chose not to show up for work. Instead, they boasted about not showing up for the vote.
00:05:56.680
Let's be clear, the NDP government survived and avoided another election because these independents
00:06:01.200
didn't want one. Okay. No, I'm, I'm, okay. I don't consider John Rustad a particularly intelligent
00:06:08.960
man or his, you know, the people in his HQ, Angelo Isidoro or Azeem Jowani, but I think they own a
00:06:16.040
calculator and I think they can figure out that out of 93 MLAs, the BC NDP have 47, which is more than
00:06:24.340
half. I'm pretty sure they can figure out that BC NDP can already pass all this stuff without the help
00:06:30.400
of anybody else. The BC Greens, the Conservatives, and the independent MLAs could all vote no,
00:06:36.020
and it would make no difference. Yes, the Speaker isn't technically supposed to pass stuff, but he
00:06:41.100
can pass stuff if he wants. And the NDP will always have the Speaker break ties in their favor because
00:06:46.760
the Speaker is an NDP MLA. So this whole thing is extremely stupid. And now I want to get into where
00:06:54.620
the BC Conservatives started getting really, really testy with us because we started pointing out all of
00:07:01.280
the crazy stuff they were saying in order to argue against these bills because they were
00:07:05.960
quite literally arguing against these bills from the left. Again, arguing that they should be more
00:07:12.200
leftist, that the BC NDP should be putting a stronger, a larger regulatory burden on the economy.
00:07:20.880
So I want to show you this really quick. This is one of the MLAs arguing against the bill. This is
00:07:27.320
Scott McInnes, one of the guys who have actually eventually started attacking me because,
00:07:31.420
Wyatt, your employer is not showing up to vote on the bill, and he would go back and forth with me.
00:07:35.980
I'm a random staffer on my first day on the job, and he's tagging me and stuff because the guy's
00:07:40.700
a psycho. He doesn't know what he's doing, and he's just swinging wildly at us. But here is Scott
00:07:45.680
McInnes arguing against Bill 15, the Infrastructure Projects Act.
00:07:49.880
This legislation is misguided. It's presented as a cure for bureaucratic delay, a way to fast-track
00:08:03.000
schools, hospitals, and other infrastructure projects throughout British Columbia.
00:08:06.840
Mr. Speaker, beneath this optimistic title and lofty promises, Bill 15 is a deeply troubling
00:08:14.440
power grab. Too much control, Mr. Speaker, is centralized in the hands of Cabinet at the expense
00:08:23.400
of Indigenous rights, as we... See, it was fine right up until he said that. So no, no, the bill is bad
00:08:29.720
because it's the Indigenous band's rights to hold up any project that happens to be on what is deemed to
00:08:35.900
be their historical territories. They can hold up projects forever while also signing deals that
00:08:41.560
give them hundreds of millions of dollars for bands that only represent a few hundred people.
00:08:46.700
That is what Scott McInnes doesn't like the bill for. It's trying to go around that.
00:08:51.760
And by the way, the NDP is buckling. They're amending their own bill in line with what the
00:08:57.200
B.C. Conservatives want. So now Scott McInnes is going to have to vote in favor of the B.C. NDP bill.
00:09:02.780
Or he's just going to have to say, oh, actually, I was kidding. I still don't like it anyways.
00:09:07.400
But they're actually changing it to include stronger Indigenous rights to hold up every
00:09:13.080
project they want. And so, like, what's he going to do now? They're actually doing what he wants.
00:09:19.440
...of Indigenous rights, as we see by the concerns raised.
00:09:24.200
Environmental safeguards, as we see by several public concerns raised.
00:09:28.720
That is, like, the only fair point. It's bulldozing local communities. And, in fact,
00:09:41.880
the independents were working on an amendment to make sure that Bill 15, the Infrastructure Act,
00:09:46.920
has to respect local government. That if you are building a project in their jurisdiction,
00:09:52.840
they also have to sign off on fast-tracking it, which is just sensible. It's not going to hold
00:09:57.360
up anything. It's basically just saying, yeah, the local government is going to basically not
00:10:01.980
give their consent if you're trying to build an injection site in their town. They're not going
00:10:06.800
to let you fast-track something that's actually bad for the community like that. But if you're
00:10:10.400
building a new bridge they've been asking for, obviously, the councillors and the mayor are going
00:10:14.240
to get together, vote for that, and sign it over to you ASAP. The GoTrain extension in Vancouver
00:10:19.440
would immediately get signed off on by Ken Sims and council because they want it. So that's a good
00:10:26.000
amendment. But Scott McInnes is arguing in favor of more First Nations consultations and more
00:10:31.840
environmental regulations. That is absolutely absurd. And then let's just jump over to somebody else.
00:10:39.700
We have another woke MLA. Oh, and this is actually Scott McInnes attacking me later on this day after I
00:10:45.920
called him out for his statement. Scott McInnes here says, what can I say? This was a very important
00:10:52.140
vote that took place tonight to quash Bill 15. Wyatt, why couldn't your employers be bothered to show up
00:10:57.880
tonight? The part-time hours caught up to them once again. The adults are playing in the big leagues
00:11:03.440
over in the BC, I think he said, like the BC Conservative Caucus. This is just a screenshot of it.
00:11:07.760
Also, I like how he calls himself an adult at the same time the man has an anime profile picture.
00:11:12.100
Scott needs to get a hold of himself a little bit. But again, I can do math. The BC NDP can already
00:11:22.540
pass everything. And why should the independents want to associate with the terrible arguments the
00:11:29.040
Conservatives are making? The BC independents don't need to sit there and associate themselves
00:11:34.080
with pro-big government arguments the Conservatives are making. Because the independents are subject to
00:11:39.980
the narratives that the Conservatives are generating. When they vote no, it looks like they're voting with
00:11:45.220
what the BC Conservatives are voting no and the Greens are voting no over, that they want bigger
00:11:51.380
government. The independents can't stand up and say, by the way, our no votes are for an actual
00:11:55.400
principled reason. If you could do that, I think they would vote no. But when you vote no, you're just
00:11:59.600
voting for the narrative that John Rustad's party has generated. But now I'm going to show you
00:12:05.140
another MLA. I actually have to get back to another MLA who is arguing in favor of a South Asian history
00:12:11.420
museum in Surrey that he wants $32 million for. But I want to show you another MLA who ended up
00:12:18.200
arguing that the bill is bad because it doesn't support DRIPA enough. It doesn't support the thing
00:12:25.460
that the Conservatives ran to repeal. John Rustad and the BC Conservatives ran to get rid of DRIPA,
00:12:32.700
which is UNDRIPA, which is UNDRIP, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People, passed into
00:12:38.980
BC law. Alia Warbus here ends up saying that Bill 14 is bad because it doesn't support DRIPA. It
00:12:47.280
doesn't fall in line with DRIPA. There needs to be a recognition that it be afforded the time
00:12:59.360
it takes to have the alignment with DRIPA and that Indigenous leaders are going to be on side with
00:13:11.360
any changes to legislation that's going to affect them. That's very clear. Sorry, so it's not even
00:13:17.300
that it needs to fall in line with DRIPA, that Indigenous leaders must be in favor of any legislation
00:13:24.000
that affects them. And let's be very clear. Affects them is so vague, you could basically argue anything
00:13:29.820
affects them. And that means you could hold up projects in perpetuity, there you go, there's that
00:13:37.160
word, and basically use it as like a blackmailing scheme where you can just basically say no until
00:13:43.680
they offer you enough and then you'll say yes. And even then, because it's your land, you could
00:13:47.920
technically shut down the project midway through until they give you more money because this is what a
00:13:52.000
lot of band councils effectively do. They just say no to projects, they hold things up until there is
00:13:56.880
enough that's given to them by the government. They don't want the jobs, oftentimes it's just that
00:14:01.640
larger budgets for band council. And again, these are band councils who only represent like 250 people
00:14:08.400
on reserves in some cases, being given tens of millions, if not over a hundred million dollars
00:14:14.000
over I think like a 10-year period. It's insane, like everyone could be a millionaire on reserve.
00:14:19.040
But we called this out as the independent caucus and staff, and then we ended up having
00:14:26.240
Alia Warbus attack us for bringing this up. By the way, actually my friend who also works with us,
00:14:32.460
Paul Ratchford, noted that Eleanor Sterko, one of the other BC conservative woke MLAs,
00:14:39.620
retweeted the UBCIC, an indigenous interest group, that said,
00:14:44.740
fix the bill or kill the bill, don't dare say trust us. So they want, so, and this is again,
00:14:53.000
her supporting the pro-big government ban government arguments that the UBCIC is making.
00:15:00.720
They are openly stumping for the ability for indigenous groups to just hold up all of these
00:15:06.720
projects forever. This is where I don't understand why, so what we were supposed to vote in favor,
00:15:13.420
this is like the graphic they made after the BC independents didn't vote for the bill.
00:15:19.260
Look, breaking, NDP government survives confidence vote thanks to independents.
00:15:23.980
Nowhere in here are they going to tell their own membership that, in fact, they didn't want to
00:15:28.740
vote with us because we were making stupid woke arguments and attacking the NDP from the left.
00:15:34.460
The BC conservatives were joining with the BC Greens to argue against this in the exact same way.
00:15:40.380
You couldn't tell the difference between what the BC Greens were arguing and with the BC conservatives.
00:15:45.500
The conservatives joined the people arguing in favor of human compost, the Kootenai Rouge you could call
00:15:50.600
them, because it was expedient for them putting pressure on the government. If you're willing to
00:15:56.000
work with the far left Greens, I don't think you're a principled conservative. And by the way,
00:16:01.100
I'm just gonna say this right here. Most of the people in BC caucus right now are good MLAs. They
00:16:07.160
are being held hostage by crazy people like Eleanor Sturko, Alia Warbus, Amelia Bowlby, and there's other
00:16:14.360
people who are kind of silent partners in the kind of wokeification of the party. I'm just going to
00:16:19.340
name them. Gavin Dew, Armin Bangu, other people who are actually entirely okay with the way caucus is
00:16:25.820
being run right now because they're gaining more power. They're gaining more prominence. And by the way,
00:16:29.700
all these people are going to throw out John at the first chance they get. Bangu, Bruce Bandman,
00:16:35.760
Gavin Dew, Eleanor Sturko, they all want to run for leadership. They think John's an old fool,
00:16:39.700
letting them do whatever they want. And then eventually, they're going to get John to do
00:16:43.300
something that hurts his reputation enough they can say, well, you're going to have to move on,
00:16:47.200
John. We just need a new leader, people have confidence. And then it's going to be an even
00:16:50.780
woker person who takes over. But Alia Warbus tried to respond to us, calling her out for
00:16:57.420
supporting Drippa here, which she was obviously doing. Let's not be stupid here and pretend that
00:17:02.440
we don't know what the meaning of words are. But she tried to respond to us, to the video that
00:17:09.420
Dallas Brody ended up posting on X. And she says, this is a boldface lie. By the way, the term is
00:17:15.200
baldface lie, but who's counting? I was calling out NDP hypocrisy by attacking the NDP for failing to
00:17:21.340
adhere to their own NDP laws. Dallas, you support the NDP and just no-showed the save the NDP
00:17:27.640
government a second time. You are propping up EB. Why won't you vote against the NDP? Okay, Alia,
00:17:35.460
Mrs. Warbus, no, not at all. You did in fact say that we need to be adhering to Drippa. We even posted
00:17:44.140
a longer version of her statement. She is obviously in favor of Drippa, which is why when we confronted
00:17:49.080
her after she made that comment online, she ghosted us when we said, okay, just say that
00:17:55.060
you're against Drippa. Just post a condemnation of Drippa and say it still needs to be repealed.
00:17:59.960
She was not making a hypocrisy argument. In fact, I think probably Azeem Jowani or Angelo or someone
00:18:05.240
else in caucus stole her phone and typed out that message because that's not something that Alia
00:18:09.380
would say. She is far left woke when it comes to most issues. She only got her seat because Michael
00:18:15.300
Gagin, the guy who was going to be the candidate in Chilliwack Cultus Lake, ended up not being able
00:18:21.460
to be the candidate at the end. He didn't get kicked down or anything. Something came up. He
00:18:24.700
wasn't able to be the candidate. He recommended her, or I think somebody recommended Alia.
00:18:29.880
She arrogantly acts like, oh my goodness, people are wasting my time in caucus by not going along with
00:18:35.680
everything I want. That was her argument for getting rid of Dallas Brody. I came here to make a
00:18:40.500
difference and I didn't come here to debate against whether residential schools were bad or not, which
00:18:45.540
is not what happened. And it's like, lady, you were given, you were handed your seat. You didn't do
00:18:51.040
any work for it. People would have killed for that seat in a very safe riding. You got it. And now you're
00:18:56.220
going to complain? You're going to moan that maybe other people who worked harder than you have
00:19:01.680
perspectives? These people are the worst. They're not conservative at all. They are hijacking the party.
00:19:08.060
There are, and again, there are great MLAs in that caucus being held down and held hostage
00:19:12.980
by the Conservatives. And now I just want to jump over to this MLA stumping for, Gavin Dew,
00:19:21.360
stumping for a South Asian museum in Surrey. $32 million.
00:19:26.480
...promise from five long years ago to establish a South Asian Canadian Heritage Museum or Cultural
00:19:34.420
Center. Surrey City Council unanimously supported this initiative last year. Yet there's no funding
00:19:41.940
allocated in the current BC budget. And in estimates, the minister was unable to provide
00:19:47.720
a timeline. Was this just another empty election promise? Or when will we finally see a plan?
00:19:54.860
Yeah, so the BC Conservatives are standing up for the honor of segregation. They want $32 million for
00:20:04.580
a segregation museum to make a museum where we segregate history into different ethnic groups.
00:20:10.660
If you had a museum on a topic like CP Rail, naturally you're going to talk about Chinese Canadians a lot.
00:20:18.780
If you talk about the military, in fact, in Canada, you're actually going to talk a lot about
00:20:22.640
Sikh Canadians because they tend to be very disproportionately represented in military roles.
00:20:27.540
I oppose anything that becomes the South Asian Canadian Museum or the Chinese Canadian Museum,
00:20:32.880
even the British Canadian Museum. If it's not, if it's a specific portion of history or specific
00:20:39.200
region's history and it happens to mostly just do with one group, that's fine. If you have like a
00:20:44.700
Northern BC History Museum and it has a lot to do with Indigenous history, perfect, because that's the
00:20:50.220
history of the area. What is this where we're going to cherry pick like individual South Asian people
00:20:54.880
from history and make a museum of? If it wasn't relevant enough to make it into a normal BC Museum,
00:20:59.740
we're really stretching it. And if anything, it's insulting to the community. Like we're going to
00:21:03.640
highlight people who weren't really that important, but they're South Asian, so we're going to talk
00:21:06.940
about them. Whatever. And the thing is, I think most South Asian people find this really obnoxious and
00:21:12.380
pandering and they don't really want it. And guess what? It's going to turn into a way of giving a bunch of
00:21:17.160
people, jobs, working at the museum, making big salaries, doing nothing. It's just a stupid handout
00:21:22.980
and Gavin Dew supports it. Maybe he wants to run for leadership. Have you guys noticed a bit of a
00:21:28.480
pattern with these people? If you follow them long enough, they stump for things where they're
00:21:32.900
obviously trying to win votes ahead of a leadership election after they oust John Rustad at some point.
00:21:38.400
Gavin Dew 100% wants to run, which is pathetic because the guy came a distant third in the BC
00:21:43.060
liberal leadership race. He was actually going to be the BC United candidate for his riding in
00:21:48.140
Kelowna. And then they ended up balancing the other candidate and then he ended up taking the spot.
00:21:53.200
He is so short-sighted. He thought the BC United was going to be a good bet in the election.
00:21:58.700
But anyways, so now I need to jump over to the point where I start getting attacked a lot.
00:22:04.600
So obviously they know I'm helping on messaging in the BC legislature for the three independent MLAs.
00:22:10.940
And so they start going like really hard after me. Here's a photo of me and of me and Tara Armstrong
00:22:18.200
hanging out on my last day there before I ended up leaving. Hopefully the green or a tie works with
00:22:24.400
this outfit. I'm always concerned by stuff like that. But the funny thing is that this, after we
00:22:29.960
had called out war bus for the trip, a thing, and this post where I just said, hey, it's good to be
00:22:34.080
working with Tara Armstrong. This is what sets them off. This is actually the thing that like
00:22:40.280
causes all of the insanity to start. I already had Scott McInnes attack me because the guy's a
00:22:44.540
lightweight and he didn't have anything. So he's like, oh, you guys are, you know, you guys aren't
00:22:49.200
showing up to vote. Make your argument for why they should vote. Because why should they show up
00:22:54.620
when you've already said, literally Scott McInnes was one of the people after they kicked up Brody
00:22:58.220
and Tara and Jordan left. He said the team is now stronger without them. Are they stronger? But
00:23:03.260
he's got nothing. He has no real reason that they should show up and vote. So he's just trying to
00:23:07.760
basically pressure us into doing what they want, despite all the disrespect and the fact that they're
00:23:12.080
even wrong on the issues. So here is what ended up happening. So another woke MLA, Brennan Day from
00:23:23.440
the island, who, by the way, only won by 43 votes. And to not be, not to sound arrogant, but my work
00:23:30.780
on the ground in BC, creating videos, creating awareness of the election and voting conservative
00:23:35.600
probably got people like Brennan Day to win his seat because Brennan Day is not a very good candidate.
00:23:40.280
A lot of the United guys who ended up shuffling over and joining the BC conservatives right before the
00:23:45.700
election are not very good candidates and they were dragged to victory. Frankly, the entire HQ of the
00:23:50.580
party is bad at their job. They wasted crazy amounts of money. Effectively, if you're a BC
00:23:55.980
conservative donor, realize that probably more than half of what you're giving them is burnt on
00:24:00.260
nothing. It's just burnt on somebody paying themselves massive bonuses and salary to sit
00:24:06.280
around with a half-eaten pizza box on them while they sleep on a couch. They're not doing anything
00:24:10.920
with this. But Brennan Day decided to attack me and he says, so just to be fully transparent to your
00:24:18.540
audience, how much are you getting paid by Tara Armstrong? And is it through both the legislative
00:24:23.580
budget and the writing association budget? We'll know through and be basically said through a freedom
00:24:28.420
of information request. I am very transparent. Do you guys know how much I make? I make $25,000 a year
00:24:35.820
only. I only make $25,000 a year. Someone would say that is below a minimum wage part-time worker
00:24:44.220
because I mostly do this for the love of the game. Obviously, you can't do things for free forever or
00:24:48.900
you will eventually go bankrupt. So I make a small bit of money. And I even told him, well, the reason
00:24:55.800
I did this was because I want to work for principled reasons. And also, I am artificially
00:25:03.040
making nothing because I want to contrast with all the people I know who work for the BC conservative
00:25:09.840
ledge staff who are making six figures. I've heard some of them make over $200,000 a year and nobody
00:25:16.540
knows what they do. I make $25,000 a year. And Brennan Day thought it would be a good idea to
00:25:22.140
attack me. And after I revealed I don't make much because I guarantee this guy is working with people
00:25:27.680
so greedy, he assumed I'm like them and I probably make like $150,000. I'm making $90,000. I'm working
00:25:33.880
remotely and I'm not even doing anything. I'm just taking money from taxpayers. Obviously not. I don't make
00:25:39.240
much, but he assumes I'm like the people he hangs out with. And in response to me laying this out,
00:25:45.600
he says, that number tracks. So he has to insult me after the fact that he's already wrong on the
00:25:50.680
issue. And then Alia Warbus here shows up and says, yeah, his mom doesn't charge him rent.
00:25:57.600
You know who I don't charge rent? I never charged the party rent when I was working as a campaign
00:26:03.040
manager and later just a generic organizer. When I was at work, when I was living in Abbotsford
00:26:08.240
and I was paying rent and having to pay a lot in gas money, driving around helping people,
00:26:13.120
I didn't bill a single dime of that to party donors. Do you know how much I made for three
00:26:18.520
months of work? I think I made around $12,000 for three months of work. And in that time,
00:26:24.800
I was making videos every day promoting them because I believed in what the conservatives
00:26:28.560
were trying to do at the time. They're not even trying to do it anymore. They've like cut
00:26:32.520
like half of their issues out. They don't even talk about most of their issues they ran on during
00:26:37.500
the campaign. Even things like Soji123, Eleanor Sterko behind the scenes is trying to soften
00:26:42.620
the position so that we're just calling it age and appropriate material. And let's just not have
00:26:47.300
books that are effectively pornography in the libraries. And then we can keep the rest of it,
00:26:51.280
even though the rest of it is most of the issue. The books in the library are just a microcosm of how
00:26:56.540
bad the Soji curriculum is. And they ended up attacking me for like, oh, well, he doesn't pay his
00:27:02.840
mother rent and stuff like that. It's like, guys, you guys are the greedy ones here.
00:27:08.460
You guys are the ones who waste donor money, who waste taxpayer money. Right now, they're
00:27:13.000
attacking the BCNDP for employing this guy who's like some sort of drug fentanyl czar trying to help
00:27:19.440
the addictions problem on the streets. Obviously, it's a grift. He's making like $300,000 a year to
00:27:24.700
do nothing. But guys, there are people in the legislature working for the conservatives who are
00:27:29.060
not making that much less, who also don't do anything. So it's a little bit hypocritical.
00:27:34.020
If anything, they like this issue, because at least they get to say, well, our people don't
00:27:37.260
make $300,000. They're just making $200,000 to do nothing. It's so insulting to the average
00:27:43.060
British Columbian who pays so much money in tax for so poor services. And this is how their MLAs behave.
00:27:51.220
And it ended up being so bad. I also had Amelia Bowlby attack me on Facebook,
00:27:57.900
like Tara Armstrong posted the photo of the independent team in the office working together.
00:28:03.580
And Amelia Bowlby, I think it's Bowlby, Bowlby. I don't really care. She's a terrible MLA. Again,
00:28:09.220
she's another like United-y type person or like some woke councillor who ended up being a BC
00:28:14.640
Conservative candidate. Almost lost Summerlin's Penticton or Penticton Summerlin's by like 1%.
00:28:20.800
She won by 1% are writing that even the BC Liberals in 2020, their wipeout year where they got
00:28:27.400
destroyed. They still won that writing by 10% in 2020. And she barely won because she's a deeply
00:28:33.480
unpleasant individual. And she called that election win historic because she's delusional.
00:28:38.980
But then it was hilarious. And then, by the way, and then the BC Conservative communications people
00:28:46.000
or somebody in the team somewhere ended up making a parody account of me on taxpayer time because I
00:28:53.260
know it's one of them because I said the BC Conservative staffers have taken BC taxpayer hours
00:28:58.420
to make a parody account of me and an independent MLA contractor. And this happened literally right
00:29:06.120
after those MLAs started attacking me, Warpuss, Amelia, and Brennan Day. And when I called this out,
00:29:15.220
literally within an hour, it got deleted. If I can find that post right here. Yeah, it got deleted
00:29:22.680
shortly after I called it out. Probably because what I was saying was absolutely correct. In all this,
00:29:28.960
I even got kicked out. I got blocked by the BC Conservative Party because these people are
00:29:33.940
absolutely pathetic. I'm going to have to go over more stuff a little bit later when it comes to like
00:29:39.820
the way the BC Conservatives ran their AGM. They effectively rigged it. They brought in like 150
00:29:45.480
guys who didn't buy tickets, to my knowledge, to just vote for John Slate and vote for his crappy
00:29:50.340
constitution. And like those guys literally showed up to vote. About 100 of them voted for the John
00:29:56.780
Slate then left. Another 50 voted and then stuck around to help with the constitution vote. And then
00:30:01.280
they left. They were not participating like normal members who showed up in the morning, had coffee,
00:30:05.560
were chatting with people, talking about policy, talking about election strategy and whatnot.
00:30:09.820
No, it was just a bunch of guys. It's just like, frankly, it's just a bunch of South Asian guys,
00:30:14.220
only men, by the way, showing up, voting for what John wants and then leaving. And I was
00:30:18.460
pulled by people like Harman Bangu. Oh, I didn't approve of that. That wasn't, that wasn't a good
00:30:23.580
thing to do. It was a bad look. Harman, you support Sukmin Gill, who ended up taking a nomination that he
00:30:30.960
did not deserve in Abbotsford South Langley by kicking out Mike DeYoung and frankly, having fake voters
00:30:36.240
also show up for him. So what are you talking about? My goodness. Anyways, so let's keep moving
00:30:41.640
on here. And then I ended up getting blocked by Brennan Day shortly after he was attacking me for
00:30:48.200
like what I make, even though I don't make much. And then I think I have here, I'm trying to find it.
00:30:54.600
Yeah, I got, he literally deleted it later. He was forced to delete his post. Oh, that's not the right
00:31:01.480
one. Yeah, there we go. And then full capitulation to me. So this was his original post here. And he
00:31:13.980
is, it's now been deleted. Why did, why did Brennan delete that? It's almost like as soon as they were
00:31:21.180
attacking me for what I made and I told them what I make, which is not very much money, people started
00:31:25.760
raising questions about what their staff members are making. And I know most of them make reasonable
00:31:30.440
salaries and they do good work. Again, I like most of the people who work for the BC Conservatives.
00:31:34.700
I like most of the MLAs, but the woke inner circle, the people who are playing power games,
00:31:40.260
trying to replace John one day while also using him as their battering ram to get rid of any of
00:31:45.740
the actual conservative people, they're the people that are ruining it. And they're also the people
00:31:49.900
whose allies are overpaying themselves in the party. So I guarantee you one of the overpaid idiots
00:31:54.340
in that party told Brennan to delete it because goodness, if you go after Wyatt for making only
00:31:59.480
$25,000 a year, they might take an issue with me making $200,000 a year and sitting at home doing
00:32:04.240
nothing and getting my, you know, my family members hired too. This is what's going on with these
00:32:10.460
people. This is why I can't work with them. They're awful. They're terrible. They are not
00:32:15.520
conservative at all. All they really talk about is like drugs. That's it. They talk about like drug
00:32:21.400
policy. They'll sort of talk about SOGI. And then every once in a while, they'll say,
00:32:25.220
you're, you're spending too much on this project, which is ridiculous because the BC conservatives
00:32:29.220
ran on a $12 billion deficit, which is in fact, currently bigger than the NDP government's
00:32:34.580
deficit. At the AGM, Harman Bangu and Gavin Dew had a little sit down, like, like, like fireside
00:32:41.540
chat where they said, when we get into government, we're going to make spending more efficient.
00:32:45.760
No, cut spending, cut it. Stop talking about this. Let's make things more efficient. No,
00:32:51.080
that's a stupid United talking point that the problem isn't too much taxes. It's just that we
00:32:56.980
have to take the tax money and spend it better. No, you have to slash taxes. By the way, these
00:33:02.520
people who are mad that Dallas Brody and the other independents won't show up and vote with them
00:33:06.780
were the same people who helped kill Dallas Brody's tax cut bill. She proposed a 50% tax cut
00:33:14.100
for anyone making less than $100,000 a year and for anyone making over $100,000 a year, as well as
00:33:20.080
corporations giving them a 25% tax cut. And this is not unrealistic. That's what Gordon Campbell did
00:33:26.260
back when the BC liberals were actually pretty conservative. That's what he did. And it worked
00:33:30.720
out perfectly fine because right now taxes are so screamingly high in BC that you're actually
00:33:35.840
chasing people out of the province to the United States or to Alberta or somewhere else, because at
00:33:40.620
least they can not, at least they can actually economically survive those places. But the BC conservatives
00:33:45.100
don't want to do anything big. They don't want to do anything audacious. They just want to be,
00:33:49.220
they're just the BC liberals again. They're just the people who are criticizing the NDP because,
00:33:54.360
hey guys, we'll do what you're doing better than you. Why aren't you using money more efficiently?
00:34:00.720
Why don't you change the SOGI program to be a little bit less bad? It's like, what is this?
00:34:06.740
Every single day in the legislature, it's frankly embarrassing for the MLAs who I know are very
00:34:11.360
good at what they do. They only ask one question every legislative session. Dallas Brody,
00:34:17.540
Jordan Keeley and Tara always ask unique questions and it always gets the NDP's backs up against the
00:34:24.020
wall because they're very hard hitting. They get down to truth the NDP does not want to acknowledge,
00:34:29.540
like Tara Armstrong going after the NDP for their CCP connections. And every day,
00:34:35.200
like Eleanor Sterko will say, will like do this whole sing along where all the BC conservative MLA say,
00:34:41.540
hey, somebody was attacked in my riding. Are the NDP going to apologize to that person? The NDP
00:34:46.140
gets to get up and they're like, oh, it's very bad. Someone was attacked in your riding and we're
00:34:49.540
trying to do something to, to, you know, crack down on crime. They're not really, but you know,
00:34:54.300
they're, they're lying. And then the conservatives will have someone else get up and like this other
00:34:58.260
person, my riding was attacked. Will you apologize? And it's like wasting time. Ask them a real
00:35:03.020
question where they can't just keep giving you the same canned answer over and over again.
00:35:07.320
And then Sterko will get up at the end and say, what have we learned today, children? It's that
00:35:11.740
crime is bad and the NDP is not doing anything about it. I'm like, oh my goodness, you're so
00:35:15.440
corny. You're so boring. Let your MLAs be grassroots. The problem with the party is they have just
00:35:22.160
flamethrowered the grassroots. The MLAs have to get permission to go to the bathroom at this point in
00:35:27.420
that party. My goodness, there's so much Stockholm syndrome in that caucus of people thinking like,
00:35:32.760
if I just put my head down, something will eventually, something good will happen. I'm just
00:35:37.420
going to stick to my knitting. And then, you know, eventually Sterko and Warbus and Dew and,
00:35:42.980
you know, Amelia Bowlby and whatnot will stop attacking me every time I accidentally say
00:35:47.820
something conservative. It's not going to happen, guys. They're going to stay bad because that is just
00:35:53.220
who they are. They are inherently not conservative people. So they don't, so every time they do
00:35:59.480
saying conservative, it's like their bodies are rejecting it. And that's why as soon as they
00:36:03.580
entered office, they're like, oh, now we can just be united again. Now we can just say really mild
00:36:07.960
woke things that allow us to still be in the sort of NDP leftist cocktail circuit. Anyway, so that's
00:36:15.760
a long story. And all this happened in three days. I got attacked by like so many people. We got attacked
00:36:20.720
as the independents over the last three days because the conservatives can't do math. Apparently,
00:36:25.100
we were going to cause another election to be held if we voted to stop these bills,
00:36:30.020
even though the NDP could just tie break them anyways. They're really just intimidated by the
00:36:35.100
independents because the independents are, frankly, they're cool. They can say what they want. They
00:36:40.440
get clicks online to the point where Rustad just copies everything Brody does. Scott McInnes
00:36:47.000
literally takes things I clipped from the legislature, downloads the video, and I know it's literally my
00:36:53.000
clipping of it and then reposts it and basically says the same thing that Tara or Jordan or Dallas
00:36:59.280
said. They're even trying to pretend that they're the ones that are quarterbacking the ostrich farm
00:37:05.200
issue. That's Jordan's thing, that Jordan is the man who pioneered that issue in terms of being like
00:37:11.980
a big thing in the legislature. He has put more effort into that issue than all the conservative MLAs
00:37:16.980
combined. And then one of them the other day, and I don't mind if they get on the issue,
00:37:20.140
Anna Kennedy showed support for the ostrich farm, and that's great. She should do that. And then
00:37:25.640
another person posted and said, the BC conservatives are the only ones standing strong for the ostriches.
00:37:31.040
No, you're not. You're a fake. What are you talking about? And now like Dallas shares something about
00:37:37.380
immigration, and then literally six hours later, John Rustad will post like basically the exact same
00:37:42.200
thing. You know what? And he's such a hypocrite on immigration. One of their candidates from Vancouver,
00:37:48.220
Langara, Brian Burgay, even said during the election, he was told he cannot oppose the bloated
00:37:53.820
number of temporary foreign workers coming into the province because John doesn't want to upset
00:37:57.940
big corporations who like the TFW program. It's so pathetic. They won't oppose the CCP. They won't
00:38:06.220
oppose a lot of things. It's so performative. Everything is just surface level conservatism with
00:38:13.120
no actual substance once you go even an inch deep. And again, there are great conservatives in that
00:38:17.340
caucus, and they're being suffocated by the incompetence and the wokeism of John, of the
00:38:23.120
woke faction, and their terrible HQ, which is full of like 20-somethings and like low, like mid-30
00:38:29.720
somethings, who this is the best job they've ever had. It's the best paying job they've ever had.
00:38:34.220
And that's a bad thing. When you're in politics and this is the best job you've ever had,
00:38:37.940
that's very dangerous. I'm making very little because this is not supposed to be the best job
00:38:42.160
I ever have. I should be doing other things like this channel and organizing other campaigns.
00:38:46.740
I should have to earn a lot of money from doing a lot of work, not signing myself a check for $150,000
00:38:52.660
a year and then just sitting around all day being like, conservatives, and that's it. Like, what the
00:38:58.120
heck are we doing, guys? Anyway, so this was a long, rambly story. Hopefully you didn't hate it too much.
00:39:03.020
Um, but yeah, this is my perspective on the BC conservatives right now. If you're a donor to
00:39:07.820
that party or a member, don't donate anything to them. Don't engage with them. If you're on an EDA,
00:39:12.880
don't show up to the EDA meetings. They don't care about you at all. Your MLA might care about you.
00:39:17.860
At the same time, they're just, it's just enabling these people to not, if they get, if they win,
00:39:23.180
by the way, even if the independents could have caused an election to happen,
00:39:26.560
they inadvertently saved John from losing another flipping election because that guy
00:39:32.160
missed on an open net in 2024. You think he's going to pound the ball home this year? No,
00:39:37.940
he's not. He's already run away from half the issues. He's going to win more votes running in
00:39:43.160
favor of DRIPA? No, he's not. But the thing is here that like, like we, though, if the conservatives
00:39:49.960
even won an election, which they're not going to, what would they change? They've already basically
00:39:54.900
said we agree with the NDP in most things, but we just wish they would implement it better.
00:40:00.220
