One of the best parts of seeing the British Columbia Conservative Party gain in popularity in a short period of time is witnessing the BC NDP allies absolutely losing their minds over it. Obviously, Premier David Eby and the NDP itself needs to maintain some level of professionalism, but these people don't because they're not running for elected office. At the same time, they're hurting the BCNDP because they expose the just absolutely insane intellectual justifications behind a lot of BC NDP's policies.

00:00:00.000 One of the best aspects of seeing the British Columbia Conservative Party gain a lot of popularity in a very short period of time is witnessing the BC NDP allies absolutely losing their minds over it.
00:00:14.300 Obviously, Premier David Eby and the BC NDP itself needs to maintain some level of professionalism, but these people don't because they're not running for elected office.
00:00:24.420 At the same time, they're very much hurting the BC NDP because they expose the just absolutely insane intellectual justifications behind a lot of the BC NDP's policies.
00:00:36.480 This is a great example right here. I think his name's Guy Felica on X.
00:00:41.880 He's a supposed harm reduction expert. Really, he's just a pro-drug advocate.
00:00:47.540 And he's deeply upset with the BC Conservatives being against giving addicts more drugs because that doesn't actually work.
00:00:55.300 I just got back from Japan not a long time ago, and they do prohibition of drugs very tightly.
00:01:01.880 And there's not many drug addicts in that country.
00:01:04.020 But people like this Guy Felica guy will convince you that actually if we prohibit illicit drugs that you cannot use responsibly, it's impossible to use meth responsibly,
00:01:15.840 that that is going to get more people hurt than if we just let people do whatever they want, give them safe supply drugs, safe injection sites, all that other stuff.
00:01:23.220 Even though we only require these things because we don't crack down on drug use.
00:01:28.740 In all the places around the world where they crack down hard, for some reason, they don't have these problems.
00:01:32.980 They don't have people dying in the streets.
00:01:34.860 But he's upset that both the BC Conservatives are against giving away free drugs because his entire business is advocating for poisoning even more people to supposedly save lives.
00:01:45.420 And he's mad that they drank beer at an event.
00:01:48.020 Yes, the BC Conservatives supporters like beer.
00:01:51.980 And so I guess that's bad.
00:01:54.100 So he said in response to this John Rustad post about having a having a little small get together event at a pub.
00:02:03.820 Guy Felica says, good to see the Conservatives of BC enjoying their drugs at a supervised consumption site.
00:02:09.660 And I hope there are designated drivers in order to make sure everyone arrives home safely.
00:02:14.300 A harm reduction practice. 0.99
00:02:16.100 Dude, shut up. 1.00
00:02:17.400 It's not even comparable between like comparing beer and meth is stupid. 1.00
00:02:23.320 And it proves that he himself is an idiot. 1.00
00:02:25.760 The problem is, is that because the media are also BC NDP allies, this moron, this man whose brain has turned into clown soup, goes on TV all the time and is quoted in articles giving out his BS statistics about how we are reducing harm by giving people safer drugs. 1.00
00:02:45.340 Because they're less likely to die if they overdose. 0.99
00:02:48.820 Okay, but drug deaths as a raw number keep going up every year.
00:02:53.000 But technically, the amount of people per capita using drugs who are dying goes down.
00:02:58.480 Well, that's a bad trade.
00:02:59.760 I'd rather just have the raw number of deaths down rather than the per capita risk of dying of using drugs being up.
00:03:07.840 I don't actually care about that.
00:03:10.200 But this is the type of person who's voting NDP and is running NDP front group activist organizations trying to stop the BC Conservatives from winning.
00:03:18.980 I think that the BC Conservatives are going to win this election.
00:03:21.800 A lot of the models of the polls coming out are showing us winning by a few seats.
00:03:26.020 I think we can extend that to about five, six, seven seats in terms of a majority.
00:03:31.520 But now I want to jump over to the tie, a newspaper who has been now trying to go after anyone even remotely in the orbit of the BC Conservative Party and try and label them a radical.
00:03:44.620 But I first want to start off with them going after John Rusted, the leader of the BC Conservative Party, because like Pierre Polyev, apparently he is on the far right because he pushes back on journalists.
00:03:57.200 Paul Wilcox here has a headline that says,
00:04:00.280 The rights war on media comes to BC.
00:04:02.880 The tie reporter asked a simple question.
00:04:05.060 Rusted's Conservatives attacked.
00:04:07.400 Oh, my goodness.
00:04:08.540 Did they attack you for asking a slanted question?
00:04:11.680 Wow, I can't believe that they didn't agree to be metaphorically executed by your nonsensical questions.
00:04:18.900 This is really what the complaint is behind the scenes.
00:04:22.060 It's not that John was asked his opinion on taxes or climate or whatever, and he just like he took out a golf club and just started swinging at the journalist.
00:04:31.540 No, they asked a loaded question and the BC Conservatives got back to them and said,
00:04:36.500 We know what you're doing.
00:04:37.540 We're not going to answer you.
00:04:39.540 That's really what happened.
00:04:40.640 And you can you can see what happened on screen right here. 0.99
00:04:44.260 Anthony Koch, a spokesperson for the BC Conservatives, when he was given the stupid question by a tie reporter, just said, 0.93
00:04:52.980 Look at this top quality, quote unquote, journalism from the folks over at the totally not left wing rag tie. 0.97
00:04:59.480 What would we do without them?
00:05:01.200 And he is absolutely correct to do that.
00:05:03.660 And he is absolutely in his right to do that.
00:05:06.880 The tie is acting like if you don't sit down with them and let them ask you why you're the second coming of Hitler.
00:05:14.020 When did you start a stop beating your wife for 30 minutes? 1.00
00:05:17.040 Well, then you're being mean to reporters.
00:05:19.780 You're actually attacking them.
00:05:21.940 In fact, even though the tie is literally a state funded media entity.
00:05:26.020 Some years getting upwards of one hundred thirty thousand dollars from taxpayers.
00:05:30.920 But we're supposed to respect them and them basically protecting those governments and those politicians who are giving the money.
00:05:38.940 We don't have to do that at all.
00:05:40.740 Sorry, I want to jump over now to what happened recently to another BC Conservative Party organizer.
00:05:50.540 He's actually the party's current campaign manager, Angelo Isidoro.
00:05:56.580 And they did the same thing to him because there's this situation going on in the US that involves Canadians.
00:06:03.360 There's this tenant media organization that was being paid by some Russian agents to not really change their coverage, but basically amplify anti-Ukrainian coverage.
00:06:13.580 It's silly, but people really should look at who's funding them better.
00:06:17.720 But they tried to attack Angelo because he knows and sometimes likes and retweets Lauren Southern, who is one of the personalities on tenant media.
00:06:27.320 And now there's a big controversy about how Angelo is being so rude to this journalist from the tie who sent him this long, long list of just random nonsensical connections to like people like Lauren Southern and others.
00:06:45.400 And he's apparently supposed to play this game of five degrees to Kevin Bacon and justify why he knows people and why he's liked and retweeted them because of a vague story about Russian disinformation in the US.
00:07:01.400 Now we have to investigate this and and like confront this issue in British Columbia, because Angelo a few years ago used to like and retweet Lauren Southern before she was even involved in tenant media.
00:07:13.760 Lauren Southern herself was actually been labeled by the DOJ in the United States as a victim of the scheme because she and other personalities were used as basically faces to legitimize the legitimize the platform, even though they did not know who was funding it.
00:07:30.720 But this is this is why the BC and DP are not going to win this election.
00:07:36.120 The entire strategy of both the party, as well as their allies, has become high pitch whining.
00:07:43.220 And I think Brian put it really well.
00:07:45.420 Brian Breguet, one of the candidates for the BC Conservatives in Vancouver Langara, great candidate.
00:07:50.140 They've been really going after him hard for like a bunch of tweets he sent like five years ago, sarcastic jokes, him being a bit edgy, pretending that it's the end of the world.
00:07:59.760 All the tweets, in my opinion, are pretty fine.
00:08:02.400 I don't really care.
00:08:03.460 Yeah, is there a joke there in there somewhere that you might not like?
00:08:07.160 You might not like a statistic he cited.
00:08:09.280 Who cares?
00:08:10.000 But he summed up very well that first guy's post about how the Conservatives are practicing harm reduction by drinking beer at a bar and then driving home, whatever.
00:08:21.200 He made this great comment back to Guy Felica here saying, I'm begging you, please continue tweeting how we are against free fentanyl, but in favor of people having a beer at a bar and having fun.
00:08:33.520 This makes us look amazing.
00:08:35.160 Keep up the good work for us.
00:08:37.120 And that's absolutely right.
00:08:38.200 The BC NDP are just anti-common sense, anti-fun, just busy body whiners.
00:08:45.680 And this is why people are not going to show up and vote for them.
00:08:48.520 Right now, the BC Conservatives are ahead in the polls.
00:08:51.100 But even then, I think we're going to overperform our polls because who's going to show up and vote for David Eby?
00:08:56.760 If you're driving home late at night, you're tired, you just got off a long shift, are you going to pull over the car in the last two hours of voting to vote for David Eby?
00:09:05.240 No.
00:09:05.560 You'll pull over the car to vote for John Resta and the Conservatives because they're actually going to make a change.
00:09:10.540 Who's going to vote for the NDP so that they can maintain the garbage we already have when another party is actually offering to fix the problems that David Eby and the BC NDP won't fix?
00:09:21.720 Oh, I'll just leave it there.
00:09:24.700 Anyways, if you want to donate to the BC Conservatives and you live in BC, it really helps pay for law and signs, literature, all that stuff we need to win.
00:09:32.300 The one advantage the BC NDP has over us is the fact that they have a lot of taxpayer money that they literally get from taxpayers every year per vote they got in the last election.
00:09:42.860 They also got 33% of their campaign expenses comped to them by taxpayers.
00:09:48.020 The Conservatives basically get none of this because we only got 2% in the last election.
00:09:52.160 So if you want to contribute, donate to the Abbotsford South EDA in the description below.
00:09:58.440 I have that link there.
00:09:59.700 That's not just going to Abbotsford South.
00:10:01.500 What we're doing, because I'm working at Abbotsford South, we're taking in as much money as possible.
00:10:05.620 And then we're handing it out to ridings where we believe we can get one of our candidates across the finish line, basically targeting money to the ridings where it's going to have the biggest impact.
00:10:15.460 So if you can do that, you get 75% of your money back up to $100, 50% of it back up to $550.
00:10:22.740 So make sure you donate if you live in BC, because we can't complain about no change happening if we refuse to actually contribute.
00:10:30.080 Other than that, guys, I'll see you in another video.
