00:00:00.000 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.
00:01:19.120 And that's not a generic thing I'm saying.
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.
00:01:50.380 But that's typical.
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.
00:02:20.760 They are terrible on policy.
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.
00:02:42.220 Why aren't we talking about policy?
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.
00:03:00.480 Why would you want them?
00:03:01.940 Oh, they have a candidate that's racist or something.
00:03:04.460 And it's like not even racist.
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.
00:03:24.980 Housing is not affordable.
00:03:26.380 Crime is through the roof.
00:03:27.940 Like job losses.
00:03:29.300 We just had 18,000 job losses in BC alone in September.
00:03:33.400 That's insane.
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.
00:04:12.360 I'm not talking about BC in general.
00:04:13.800 I'm talking about every race.
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.
00:04:30.080 It's like the economy is not good.
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?
00:04:40.820 That kind of matters.
00:04:42.040 I don't care if the GDP goes up by 50% in a year.
00:04:46.120 Did the population increase 10 times?
00:04:48.780 Because then it does not matter.
00:04:50.860 India has a bigger GDP than Canada.
00:04:53.780 China has a bigger GDP than Canada.
00:04:56.700 People who live in those countries are also not even a fourth of the wealth of an average Canadian.
00:05:03.400 It's crazy.
00:05:04.400 Anyways, so that's my little rant on that.
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. 1.00
00:05:35.900 It's like, who actually buys any of this crap?
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.
00:05:52.640 But I remember I replied to them.
00:05:54.280 And within 30 minutes, I'd ratioed them.
00:05:56.040 I think it's turned around because they artificially all share their same posts.
00:06:00.880 Yes, it's this one right here.
00:06:02.240 This one was wild to me.
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.
00:06:22.400 If you want to build more homes, vote BC NDP.
00:06:25.680 If you want to grow a strong, clean economy, vote BC NDP.
00:06:31.040 What?
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.
00:06:46.260 You fired 3,000 of them.
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 0.99
00:08:05.480 stuff like that. Because when you're from a Soviet bloc country, you know all these stupid 1.00
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.
00:08:18.380 So they basically just said, nope, I'm out.
00:08:21.500 Anyways, to keep going.
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,
00:08:36.400 they were down by 8%.
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
00:08:48.020 a house.
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
00:09:02.540 things that you have to outfit homes with.
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
00:09:11.520 house.
00:09:11.780 You have to bring in flow toilets. 0.97
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.
00:09:32.240 And this actually happened.
00:09:33.020 And they're like, oh, so you don't think construction employees deserve flow toilets? 0.82
00:09:37.960 Who's saying anything like that?
00:09:40.020 I'm talking about economics.
00:09:41.820 I didn't realize that we deserve everything.
00:09:44.640 I deserve a free house.
00:09:46.880 I deserve better editing of software.
00:09:48.700 Why should I have to pay for it?
00:09:50.480 Well, I deserve to have three-ply toilet paper.
00:09:53.940 Like, yeah, everyone thinks they deserve more.
00:09:57.040 And in fact, everyone deserves less.
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
00:10:08.360 we all get better?
00:10:09.160 Oh, we all should get free pharma care on the federal level.
00:10:12.260 We should all get free dental care.
00:10:13.780 Oh, free child care.
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
00:10:43.940 to provide it.
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. 0.96
00:10:54.500 What do we have now?
00:10:55.580 Oh, my goodness, what do we have now?
00:10:57.220 We have no system.
00:10:58.740 We have basically a system where some people might get health care sometimes if they wait
00:11:03.500 a long time.
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,
00:11:28.680 that opens up more clinics and hospitals.
00:11:30.860 But you'll get people saying like, ooh, but that's American style.
00:11:34.420 Oh, my goodness.
00:11:35.640 What?
00:11:36.440 No, let's have more.
00:11:37.660 Even the American system.
00:11:39.220 The American system is expensive because it's a private system with a massive public system
00:11:44.040 off of its side.
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.
00:12:03.660 And most people have insurance in the U.S.
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
00:12:14.040 just a few months.
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.
00:12:23.620 It's insane what we have in Canada here.
00:12:25.900 But the entire campaign, like, I don't know who watches the NDP campaign and thinks this
00:12:32.680 is good.
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
00:12:41.540 were saying.
00:12:42.240 And she was blown away.
00:12:43.240 They were saying that, oh, the conservatives started collapsing in their support after the
00:12:47.560 debate.
00:12:48.220 No, they didn't.
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
00:12:55.720 had really bad regionals.
00:12:57.500 Like, if you have the NDP and the conservatives tight in the north and interior, it's a bad
00:13:02.160 poll.
00:13:02.700 That's just not true.
00:13:03.640 It's like in Alberta during the 2023 election.
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
00:13:14.700 10% for the UCP.
00:13:17.160 Those pollsters in Alberta would say, oh, yeah, like a lot of these rural ridings are tight.
00:13:23.000 You know what I mean?
00:13:23.360 Oh, the NDP might be close in like East or like Western Lethbridge.
00:13:28.360 It's like they're not.
00:13:29.040 They're just not close.
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
00:13:37.580 who live in rural areas do not take polls.
00:13:40.180 And in many of the ridings that I've been door knocking in, the cities, the suburbs are
00:13:44.160 really tight.
00:13:45.260 I think we have an edge in many of them.
00:13:46.720 But even if it's 50-50, we win because the rural ridings, if they show up, they're going 0.74
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
00:14:01.880 like that.
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
00:14:16.880 population.
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
00:14:29.040 are.
00:14:29.660 The conservatives are going to cut $4.3 billion from health care.
00:14:35.120 What parties ever run on cutting health care?
00:14:37.320 That's just not a thing in Canadian politics.
00:14:40.080 Have you ever had a party who's run on cutting health care?
00:14:43.480 They never have.
00:14:44.780 Some parties have cut health care, most of those being liberals in the 90s and early
00:14:48.860 2000s because of the debt crisis.
00:14:51.220 But no party has ever cut health care.
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
00:15:25.960 and you don't need extra dollars.
00:15:27.860 That's what the report said.
00:15:29.980 And then the NDP took that, which is a vision of what could be in 20 years, and said the
00:15:34.700 conservatives are going to cut $4.3 billion.
00:15:36.920 They know exactly what they're doing.
00:15:39.220 You don't do that much digging into the reports and to the platform positions the conservatives
00:15:45.060 are putting out on health care.
00:15:46.520 Find that little statistic and genuinely conclude that what they were proposing was cutting spending.
00:15:52.080 That's obviously not true.
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.
00:16:00.980 No, that's obviously stupid.
00:16:02.660 Also, the NDP has crashed the school system.
00:16:05.180 They got rid of letter grades in schools.
00:16:07.300 That's insane.
00:16:08.480 You're not going to have scoring.
00:16:09.960 We're just going to have subjective scoring.
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
00:16:30.600 improve.
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.
00:16:40.980 So do you want to do three?
00:16:42.080 That's another thing in schools where we now, through anti-bullying tools in the classroom,
00:16:47.860 are able to slip in gender theory.
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
00:16:59.940 to now teach gender theory.
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
00:17:17.840 because of his religion or whatever else.
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
00:17:26.240 I was Sikh or whatever.
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
00:17:32.660 because that's not how kids work.
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.
00:17:49.600 It's ridiculous.
00:17:51.220 The province is in a debt crisis.
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.
00:18:02.820 When have they ever showed fiscal restraint?
00:18:05.360 Oh, on this piece of paper that says that we will have fiscal restraint in 10 years?
00:18:09.540 They're not.
00:18:10.460 They're just saying enough to get through this election.
00:18:12.560 It's like Bonnie Henry.
00:18:13.800 She hasn't been fired yet.
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 1.00
00:18:58.280 potentially think about selling government meth, crack, and all these other things, safe supply
00:19:03.440 drugs, in pharmacies.
00:19:05.040 She still has a job, but she's a doctor. 1.00
00:19:07.540 Cool, whatever.
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.
00:19:19.240 Oh my goodness.
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,
00:19:32.120 you know, everyone's worse off.
00:19:34.380 Crime's rampant.
00:19:35.460 The school system's falling apart.
00:19:36.680 Health care system's falling apart.
00:19:38.240 But, you know, a BC conservative candidate once said something 10 years ago.
00:19:44.020 I can't help you with that.
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
00:19:53.060 of everyone here.
00:19:54.020 It's just the BC election dashboard.
00:19:56.760 It's super tight.
00:19:58.200 Basically, I think that these numbers are just being shown by Main Street because they
00:20:02.500 don't know.
00:20:02.980 Because this is the most, I don't know what the outcome is going to be type projection
00:20:07.000 you could possibly come up with.
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
00:20:24.180 seat because they'd have to pick a speaker. 0.94
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
00:20:40.800 shown leaning towards the NDP here.
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.
00:20:51.600 I've door knocked on 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.
00:21:16.520 And now we have this giant rainstorm.
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.
00:21:33.900 That's absolutely wild.
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
00:21:51.700 that stuff.
00:21:52.340 Hopefully that happens.
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
00:22:00.600 NDP.
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
00:22:05.780 the video without going out and voting.
00:22:07.420 But if you haven't voted yet, go and vote.
00:22:10.140 Get your neighbors to vote.
00:22:11.120 Get your kids to vote.
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
00:22:18.680 BC conservatives.
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
00:22:37.200 Alberta.
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
00:22:55.080 to exploit.
00:22:56.960 Anyways.
00:22:57.860 Okay.
00:22:58.500 That's it for me today, guys.
00:23:00.120 This has been a wild ride.
00:23:02.320 I'll probably be coming back to Alberta in three or four days from now.
00:23:06.100 I'll be on the nicer, better set.
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
00:23:22.420 a country from the British. 0.54
00:23:23.480 So that would be great.
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.
00:23:34.660 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,
00:23:45.660 he still hasn't even filed evidence.
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
00:24:03.720 article as his evidence.
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
00:24:14.080 on a website saying I'm a great guy.
00:24:16.200 That's literally it.
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
00:24:34.180 taking money from.
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.
00:25:15.680 Go and vote if you live in BC.
00:25:17.860 It doesn't matter what riding.
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
00:25:24.560 this point.
00:25:25.180 Have a good one.
00:25:25.780 Thank you.
00:25:32.760 Thank you.
