Without a doubt, the 2024 British Columbia provincial election has been the dirtiest and nastiest Canadian election that at least I know about.
00:00:11.040
This has been truly a wild ride to be on, and hopefully the BC Conservatives will be able to win today as people are currently going out and voting.
00:00:20.660
And before I move on to the topics I want to talk about, that being how just insane the BC MVP has been in this race, make sure that you, every single member of your family, all of your friends, go out and vote in BC for the BC Conservatives.
00:00:35.420
If you do not live in British Columbia, go through your Facebook timeline, go through your X timeline, Instagram, all those things.
00:00:43.340
See who lives in BC and harass them a little bit so that they can go out and vote because this is not an election where, you know, it's rainy outside and I want to sit on my couch and watch Matlock or whatever.
00:00:55.540
Vote in the election first. Do that afterwards. Pause this video and go do that.
00:00:59.440
Anyways, now I want to just talk about just how out of the ordinary nasty this election has been.
00:01:06.860
And I think it's a trick that you can only pull once.
00:01:09.880
The BC NDP have gone all out on the BC Conservatives to smear them, slander them, basically just make up lies about their platform.
00:01:21.600
In every election, you will have parties lying about each other a little bit, you know, exaggerating their stance on this policy, saying that based on their record of 50 years ago, they might do this, you know, trying to like trying to cast onto their opponent the worst possible version of what their agenda could be.
00:01:40.620
I find Conservatives don't usually have to do that because the BC NDP's agenda is pretty bad.
00:01:46.620
Or I mean, all NDP and liberal agendas tend to be pretty bad these days.
00:01:51.880
In British Columbia, though, it's been like an American presidential election, a modern American presidential election in the type of hits that the NDP have been taking out on the BC Conservatives.
00:02:04.020
Like just digging up comments someone made in a Facebook group 10 years ago in the reply section and then using that as the main thing that they're running on.
00:02:14.920
And the reason that Premier David Eby and the BC NDP have been doing this is because they suck at governing.
00:02:22.660
And way more people need to ask themselves as the as the mainstream media, the legacy media, CTV News, Global, CDTV and CBC keep wanting to go along with the BC NDP and make this election all about, well, you know, this guy made this joke three years ago on an X account that he doesn't use anymore.
00:02:44.000
What aren't they telling you about the current government's performance on policy and what people feel about them?
00:02:50.960
Because this entire election, both the BC NDP and the media have been trying to make you feel weird if you think that we need a conservative government to clean things up.
00:03:01.940
Oh, they have a candidate that's racist or something.
00:03:06.200
They'll just pull up something and then they'll misinterpret it into like the stars and then tell you that this person's a horrible bigot, even though they obviously are not.
00:03:15.340
That has been the entire campaign, even though the BC NDP have been governing when the BC is now half of all the opioid deaths in the country.
00:03:29.300
We just had 18,000 job losses in BC alone in September.
00:03:34.220
And the legacy media, according to people who have been watching it and telling me what's happening, the news will start off and say, oh, well, the BC conservatives are stumbling and it looks like the NDP are catching some momentum.
00:03:45.360
And they're doing this really generic horse race between the two parties without saying, oh, yeah, by the way, you know how there's a bunch of effectively zombies on East Hastings because of their massive opioid addiction?
00:03:57.540
Yeah, the NDP are giving them those drugs so that they can either take them, the hydromorphone, or they can sell it for harder stuff like fentanyl and heroin.
00:04:05.280
There are so many voters who just are disconnected from the real issues of the race that they're voting in.
00:04:15.300
Even when I was running in the federal conservative nomination in Calgary, Signal Hill, it's startling how many people just watch legacy media and they don't know about half the issues that are going on.
00:04:26.720
And they're not like you have to do a lot of research to know that this is an issue.
00:04:32.360
A lot of people tell you, well, the GDP rose by 2% last year or like whatever amount.
00:04:37.860
And it's like, well, what's the GDP per capita number?
00:04:42.040
I don't care if the GDP goes up by 50% in a year.
00:04:56.700
People who live in those countries are also not even a fourth of the wealth of an average Canadian.
00:05:08.360
But the BC NDP campaign has basically not wanted to talk about a single policy issue the entire time.
00:05:15.080
And I now just want to bring up their social media because it's wild.
00:05:19.200
How they'll just say something that I feel like we had any educated voter would look at it.
00:05:23.680
And to be fair, a lot of people do see this because they get ratioed hard on a lot of their posts.
00:05:29.960
They'll just say, we're going to help the health care system.
00:05:33.400
Oh, you have to vote for us if you want more nurses and doctors.
00:05:39.640
Who actually thinks that these people are going to help health care or whatever when they've been firing nurses and doctors?
00:05:46.200
Sorry, they've been posting a lot on election day.
00:05:49.440
So I'm trying to get to all those things they posted yesterday.
00:05:56.040
I think it's turned around because they artificially all share their same posts.
00:06:04.100
If I was the BC comms director, the BC NDP comms director, I'd just tell them, don't post this.
00:06:08.660
You're going to tee up so many conservative people to dunk on you.
00:06:13.700
But this is an actual pitch they make from the BC NDP's official account on X.
00:06:19.080
If you want to hire more doctors and nurses, vote BC NDP.
00:06:25.680
If you want to grow a strong, clean economy, vote BC NDP.
00:06:32.960
You guys, what I even had, I had an interaction with a BC NDP cheerleader
00:06:38.240
in the comments of that after I had basically said, what's better in seven years?
00:06:41.960
And they said, well, the BC NDP hired 800 more nurses and doctors.
00:06:48.460
On top of that, there was actually a lot of nurses and doctors who quit before they were fired
00:06:52.000
because they could already see the vaccine mandates coming.
00:06:54.840
And most of those people have not been rehired because after the COVID vaccine mandate
00:06:59.760
was removed on nurses and doctors in British Columbia years after every other province had
00:07:05.420
already removed them, that's when the BC NDP then implemented even more hoops that you have
00:07:10.800
to jump through in order to be re-approved to start working in the medical system.
00:07:15.020
Just yesterday, I talked to a woman from Poland who was working as a doctor in British Columbia.
00:07:20.580
And even though the mandates are gone, she says, I don't trust them, so I'm not coming back.
00:07:25.380
And the thing is that, and this is actually a very interesting thing that was noted,
00:07:29.180
because they were from a former Soviet bloc country, they said, I have deep distrust whenever
00:07:34.980
something is mandated when it's not obviously necessary for you to do.
00:07:39.480
Like, obviously, you know, it's mandatory to wear a uniform when you're at work at a hospital.
00:07:44.580
But when you start mandating a COVID vaccine who a nurse is smart enough to know is not really
00:07:49.980
going to stop transmissions, it's not really going to prevent that many more deaths,
00:07:55.100
especially for younger people who typically are nurses, like people who are nurses are going to skew
00:07:59.900
a little bit more on the younger side of the population, that she very much kicks back against
00:08:05.480
stuff like that. Because when you're from a Soviet bloc country, you know all these stupid
00:08:09.760
loyalty tests that authoritarian governments put down on you to try and make you conform.
00:08:14.580
And they don't want to have anything to do with nonsense like that anymore.
00:08:23.820
But like that, like, and then we want to build more homes.
00:08:27.720
Housing starts over the past two years are down in British Columbia.
00:08:30.520
Over the past two years, both years that Premier David Eby has been in charge in 2023, in fact,
00:08:37.960
That's significant because they've been down for a while and they keep going down.
00:08:43.040
Whenever housing prices increase, in theory, that means there's way more incentive to build
00:08:48.520
But it sucks so much to build a house in British Columbia, just like San Francisco or Los Angeles
00:08:54.220
or New York City, that nobody does it because it's not worth it.
00:08:58.200
The amount of regulations you have to follow, building codes, environmental inspections, different
00:09:04.460
I think these days you're probably mandated to put solar panels on the things.
00:09:07.580
You can't even let your workers use porta-potties on the property while you're putting up the
00:09:14.380
And when I was saying how this is obviously going to increase costs for construction sites,
00:09:20.240
which means that you're going to have more developers who can't afford to build as many
00:09:24.240
homes as they currently are and we're going to have sea shortages, then you get some just
00:09:28.220
absolute mouth-breathing BC NDP staffer come to me.
00:09:33.020
And they're like, oh, so you don't think construction employees deserve flow toilets?
00:09:50.480
Well, I deserve to have three-ply toilet paper.
00:09:59.880
And the only way that everyone gets more is everyone works a little bit harder.
00:10:03.560
But this is the NDP sort of frame of mind that why doesn't the government just say that
00:10:09.160
Oh, we all should get free pharma care on the federal level.
00:10:15.300
It's not happening because someone has to provide it.
00:10:17.940
And if someone's not incentivized to provide it, why the heck are they going to do it?
00:10:21.420
And that's what's going to happen with all these government programs.
00:10:24.080
Every single stupid government program eventually just collapses in on itself.
00:10:29.260
And basically, we have to start giving out rationing care, rationing supply, because the
00:10:34.920
government just took it for granted that that thing is available all the time when it takes
00:10:39.700
hard work and that people need to be able to profit at the end of the day to have incentive
00:10:45.120
That's the thing I never got in public health care.
00:10:46.820
You will still get people in Canada a little bit brainwashed into the idea that they're like,
00:10:50.840
oh, but the BC concerns are going to bring in a two-tier system.
00:10:58.740
We have basically a system where some people might get health care sometimes if they wait
00:11:04.780
Two-tier doesn't even mean that we're now going to say that we have the same amount of
00:11:08.520
health care, but you can pay to get to the front of the line.
00:11:10.780
That's the socialist way of thinking about it, because they see everything as a pie that
00:11:14.340
cannot expand and that we're just going to try and cut it up more equitably.
00:11:18.840
A two-tier system, or basically a system where you can pay money to go to a private clinic that's
00:11:23.060
outside of the normal public system, that creates more supply, that creates more doctors,
00:11:30.860
But you'll get people saying like, ooh, but that's American style.
00:11:39.220
The American system is expensive because it's a private system with a massive public system
00:11:45.460
No people who have Medicare and Medicaid coverage don't pay basically anything.
00:11:49.740
And that cost gets paid or passed on to people who have private insurance.
00:11:54.040
And even their private insurance system, frankly, works better than Canada's public insurance
00:11:57.800
system, because at least you can actually get care in the U.S.
00:12:00.860
And if you have insurance, everything's pretty much paid for.
00:12:05.880
In Canada, everyone has the public insurance, but nobody has a guarantee to get health care.
00:12:10.380
And you're often waiting more than a year to get something that's going to get worse in
00:12:14.980
And by the time they want to operate on whatever you were originally scheduled to have operated
00:12:19.120
on, it's gotten worse and the issue's expanded and they can't actually deal with the problem.
00:12:25.900
But the entire campaign, like, I don't know who watches the NDP campaign and thinks this
00:12:33.540
Like, it's, and again, it really demonstrates how delusional the media is.
00:12:37.420
Again, I heard, my mom was actually watching CTV News for a bit and just told me what they
00:12:43.240
They were saying that, oh, the conservatives started collapsing in their support after the
00:12:49.120
They actually started doing better in many polls after the debate.
00:12:51.960
Some polls showed them go down, but they're pollsters who barely do any polling and they
00:12:57.500
Like, if you have the NDP and the conservatives tight in the north and interior, it's a bad
00:13:06.620
A lot of these same pollsters who are polling in British Columbia and showing us with only
00:13:10.300
a slight lead or the NDP with a slight lead, they ended up missing that election by like
00:13:17.160
Those pollsters in Alberta would say, oh, yeah, like a lot of these rural ridings are tight.
00:13:23.360
Oh, the NDP might be close in like East or like Western Lethbridge.
00:13:30.640
There's like the interior, the farming regions are not close.
00:13:33.980
Even in BC, I actually think that there's going to be a big polling mess because people
00:13:40.180
And in many of the ridings that I've been door knocking in, the cities, the suburbs are
00:13:46.720
But even if it's 50-50, we win because the rural ridings, if they show up, they're going
00:13:51.540
to give us another 3,000, 4,000 votes in some of these ridings and be able to offset
00:13:56.820
the cities where we're probably going to be tied with the NDP, 15,000, 50,000, something
00:14:02.460
Or usually people don't vote that much in BC elections.
00:14:05.100
Although you never know because this is going to be a high turnout race.
00:14:08.000
A million people voted in advance when only 671,000 voted last time.
00:14:12.720
And the population didn't increase that much over the past four years, especially the voting
00:14:18.880
I'm trying to find some other stuff here with the BCNDP.
00:14:22.380
But like even the health care, here's another lie that they had.
00:14:25.280
I don't even exactly need to show things on screen, just breaking down how obvious these
00:14:29.660
The conservatives are going to cut $4.3 billion from health care.
00:14:40.080
Have you ever had a party who's run on cutting health care?
00:14:44.780
Some parties have cut health care, most of those being liberals in the 90s and early
00:14:53.620
The lie that they've been pushing that the conservatives want to cut health care is based
00:14:57.220
on a policy report that the conservatives just cited showing that in the long run, if spending
00:15:03.060
or spending is done more efficiently and more money is moved away from administration
00:15:07.020
to blow HR positions that nobody needs and all this stuff and you move it to the front
00:15:12.180
lines, that in time, maybe per capita spending might be able to go down.
00:15:16.980
So in the long run, the increases in money that you give to the health care system are
00:15:21.940
not going to keep up with the population because the dollar is being spent more efficiently
00:15:29.980
And then the NDP took that, which is a vision of what could be in 20 years, and said the
00:15:39.220
You don't do that much digging into the reports and to the platform positions the conservatives
00:15:46.520
Find that little statistic and genuinely conclude that what they were proposing was cutting spending.
00:15:54.700
What's another one that they are going to like, I think they said they were going to like,
00:15:58.840
they were going to like cancel building new schools.
00:16:11.920
This is the BC NDP's ideology on full display in the schools.
00:16:16.520
Just get rid of marks because it makes kids feel bad if they don't do as well.
00:16:20.820
Well, maybe the kid's going to feel much worse when he can't get a job because he was never
00:16:25.420
actually accurately scored in school so that his parents and the teachers could help him
00:16:31.400
I know that they're still technically tracking kids' progress, but without having that actual
00:16:36.740
objective marker, you will have standard slipping.
00:16:42.080
That's another thing in schools where we now, through anti-bullying tools in the classroom,
00:16:49.440
Oh, someone got, a kid got made fun of, someone made a trans joke or a whatever.
00:16:54.500
Oh, now we get to pull out the SOGI123 portfolio and open it up to gender theory, and we get
00:17:01.520
I talked to a teacher who's actually a little bit more on the liberal side, and she specifically
00:17:05.900
said, this is not actually how proper anti-bullying type programming should be done in schools.
00:17:12.100
It's not about sitting kids down and lecturing them about why you should respect this kid
00:17:20.080
You don't need, if someone gets, and I've even talked to people, they said, oh yeah,
00:17:23.500
I got used to get made fun of in the early 2000s when they were going to school because
00:17:27.260
All those people who made fun of me are my friend.
00:17:29.100
And no teacher ever sat them down and said, now you're going to learn about the Sikh religion
00:17:34.200
It's absolutely destroying childhood to not have kids have to learn lessons on their own
00:17:40.760
rather than having some random 30-something, 20-something sociology major come in and tell
00:17:46.960
kids how they're wrong and how they should think.
00:17:53.060
They just had a $9 billion deficit this last year.
00:17:56.280
I think we're at $9 billion in debt or whatever.
00:17:59.100
And the BCNDP released their platform showing, oh, the deficit's going to go down.
00:18:05.360
Oh, on this piece of paper that says that we will have fiscal restraint in 10 years?
00:18:10.460
They're just saying enough to get through this election.
00:18:15.180
At the same time, they're trying to go after a BC conservative candidate because two years
00:18:20.100
ago he posted something concerned about people who might have vaccine injuries.
00:18:24.680
And they've been dragging that guy, Chris Sankey, through the mud ever since they brought
00:18:30.220
that up in the election, dragged them during the debates and whatnot, effectively mocking
00:18:35.200
much of the indigenous community who is rightfully concerned about whenever the government mandates
00:18:40.360
stuff on them because of their history with the Canadian government and the BC government.
00:18:44.560
And then, even though they're mocking him for that, even though David Eby still employs
00:18:51.360
Bonnie Henry as the chief medical officer of BC, it's this lady who thinks that we should
00:18:58.280
potentially think about selling government meth, crack, and all these other things, safe supply
00:19:09.380
I don't know what crackerjack box she got that flipping medical degree from, but it must
00:19:15.600
have looked really good, really convincing when she put in her resume.
00:19:20.500
But yeah, the entire thing has just been conservatives bad.
00:19:24.740
The entire election has just been conservatives bad.
00:19:26.980
And I will lose a little bit of respect for BC voters if it turns out they're like, well,
00:19:38.240
But, you know, a BC conservative candidate once said something 10 years ago.
00:19:45.760
Anyways, I still think, I'm still pretty confident that we're going to win.
00:19:48.840
The last projections I saw, and maybe I'll just bring them up on screen for the benefit
00:19:58.200
Basically, I think that these numbers are just being shown by Main Street because they
00:20:02.980
Because this is the most, I don't know what the outcome is going to be type projection
00:20:08.660
BC NDP 46, BC conservatives 45, Greens 2, which would effectively almost be like a tie
00:20:16.760
race, considering that the NDP and Greens would only have a coalition majority by a single
00:20:25.660
So I think this is a pure dead heat, and it depends on who actually shows up to the polls.
00:20:31.520
I'll even go down here and show you that, like, when they project that it's this close
00:20:36.500
and that the BC conservatives are down a few seats, there's tons of seats that they have
00:20:43.000
Ah, their system's always a little bit clunky for Zooming.
00:20:47.020
But there are tons of seats around here that they have leaning NDP that I've toured them.
00:20:52.840
I really don't see a lot of these seats going NDP based on my experience door knocking in
00:20:58.380
the ridings, even in the really heavy BC NDP communities where the poll, like the local
00:21:04.740
poll district was like 75%, 70% NDP in the 2020 race.
00:21:09.120
They're like 50-50 this election, and I think the conservatives are going to show up.
00:21:13.460
Change voters in general are far more likely to show up.
00:21:18.640
I think, again, they call it an atmospheric river or lake or whatever that's putting like
00:21:24.960
hundreds, I think in one area, someone texted me this morning, in one area of BC, there was
00:21:29.760
200 millimeters of rain that landed in two hours.
00:21:35.960
And so what we end up, I think what we'll see is I think we'll actually have the people
00:21:41.180
who really want change showing up and a lot of the NDP who are really just anti-conservative
00:21:45.940
voters deciding that maybe they'll just chill at home, watch Netflix, pet their cat, all
00:21:53.440
There's still a good chance the BC NDP could win.
00:21:56.420
I would say that this race has come down to a 60-40 between the conservatives and the
00:22:01.640
So again, if you live in BC and you haven't voted yet, I don't know how you made this far in
00:22:12.080
If you don't live in BC, go through your Facebook timeline.
00:22:15.380
Find your friends that you know who lived in BC and make sure that they voted for the
00:22:19.940
Because, you know, it could be the difference between the province absolutely falling into
00:22:24.180
a black hole or actually having prosperity once again.
00:22:29.000
BC has no excuse for being as kind of poorly managed as it is.
00:22:32.780
It has probably better natural resources anywhere in Canada, except for my home province of
00:22:38.040
And it should be one of the nicest places to stay, especially with Washington state and
00:22:41.900
Oregon over the border who have similar problems.
00:22:44.560
If BC just stopped having woke, hyper-progressive governance, it could start having the population
00:22:50.380
of those states come up to Canada because there's way more prosperity, way more opportunities
00:23:02.320
I'll probably be coming back to Alberta in three or four days from now.
00:23:07.720
I will get a haircut because this is getting a bit wild.
00:23:10.100
At some point, I had this like weird George Washington thing going where like my hair was
00:23:14.200
kind of like coming up there and then it was like poking out on the sides or whatever.
00:23:17.420
And I was just, I was just a set of wooden teeth away from apparently helping liberate
00:23:26.260
If you want to support the show, you can always donate to my Give, Send, Go legal fund in the
00:23:30.980
description of this video below, as well as pinned at the top of the comments.

I'm $33,000 deep in fighting back against a Chinese billionaire developer suing myself
00:23:40.720
the National Telegraph for defamation, even though in the almost three year long case,
00:23:48.240
His evidence in order that he filed after we harassed him and a judge even rewarded me
00:23:52.560
$1,800 because he kept being late on filing these things.
00:23:56.760
He filed his LinkedIn profile, his company website, his original libel notice, and our
00:24:05.560
You'll notice that none of that as actual evidence.
00:24:07.820
It's basically just saying, I didn't like that you said this.
00:24:10.000
I gave you a notice saying I didn't like that you said this, and here's a LinkedIn profile
00:24:17.420
I think I filed like 16, 22 pieces of evidence.
00:24:20.800
It was pretty substantial because we were correct.
00:24:23.620
And actually, the report that we put out back when TNT, the National Telegraph, was purely
00:24:28.360
a written publication, we had a guest writer mention him in an article about who O'Toole was
00:24:35.480
And when we mentioned him, we just linked to a Globe and Mail investigation about him that was
00:24:39.940
like 2,000 words long that was written a year and a half ago by Robert Fyfe and Stephen
00:24:43.700
Chase, two very good investigative journalists, as well as a Chinese diaspora political expert.
00:24:49.760
And he never sued them, but he sued me because he thought me as a 22-year-old at the time was
00:24:54.560
just going to cut and run and give him a fake apology so he can pretend he's big and intimidating.
00:24:59.760
At least that's my opinion and my read on the case.
00:25:03.340
Regardless, so if you want to donate anything to that, it really helps me out, cuts down on
00:25:08.120
the legal costs I have, and lets me reinvest in the show here.
00:25:11.440
But I'll see you guys next time, probably releasing another video later in the day.
00:25:18.920
It's not like, oh, well, they're going to win this riding anyways.
00:25:20.920
You literally don't know because I don't know what ridings are in play and not in play at
