Summary

Wyatt Claypool breaks down the BC Tory leadership race, the BC Green deal with the BC NDP, and the BC Greens breaking up an agreement between each other, and what that means for the possibility of a snap election.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ahoy everyone, Wyatt Claypool here, back again to break down some Canadian polling numbers.
00:00:06.280 In this video, we will be exclusively focusing on the province of British Columbia,
00:00:11.380 because BC politics are a complete mess right now, and it demands analysis.
00:00:17.880 So we will first start off talking about the BC conservative leadership race,
00:00:22.760 which is a complete garbage fire at this point.
00:00:25.140 Then I want to talk a bit about the BC NDP and the BC Greens ripping up an agreement that they had between each other,
00:00:33.540 which is kind of a nothing burger when you really look at it,
00:00:36.820 but it is causing people to think there could be a snap election coming.
00:00:40.660 I really don't think so.
00:00:42.480 The budget's terrible.
00:00:44.300 I might take a little bit of a park to talk about that too,
00:00:47.500 but it's what you can kind of expect from an NDP government.
00:00:50.900 They spend way too much money, and they do not know how to pay for it.
00:00:55.600 Anyways, but before we get into it, first, full disclosure,
00:00:59.960 I do in fact work for the 1BC party and Dallas Brody.
00:01:04.220 I'm actually flying out to Victoria tomorrow,
00:01:07.100 so if you notice a slight decrease in the quality of the show,
00:01:10.680 it's because I'm going to have to shoot it from a hotel for the next 30 days.
00:01:14.460 I'm literally there for 30 days.
00:01:16.380 But yes, I work for Dallas Brody,
00:01:17.880 so maybe take some of my opinions with a grain of salt,
00:01:20.700 although I try and remain very principled in how I analyze politics,
00:01:25.100 and I'm only with the 1BC party because I truly believe it's the only party
00:01:29.560 actually saying things that normal people agree with.
00:01:32.860 All the other parties are either insane leftist parties,
00:01:35.780 or it's the BC conservatives who hedge more than a gardener.
00:01:39.880 They don't actually know how to commit to a position,
00:01:42.520 and the party is full of liberals,
00:01:44.600 which we will be getting into.
00:01:46.920 Also, just a reminder, if you like the show,
00:01:49.780 make sure to leave a like on the video,
00:01:51.340 subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber,
00:01:53.180 leave a comment about what you think,
00:01:54.720 and if you want to help financially support the show,
00:01:57.040 always consider hitting the join button below the video
00:01:59.680 and making a small contribution per month.
00:02:02.000 And if you live in British Columbia,
00:02:03.720 I will be linking and pinning at the top of the comments
00:02:06.980 a link to the 1BC website if you want to check it out,
00:02:10.640 donate, join as a member, do all that great stuff.
00:02:13.560 But anyways, without further ado,
00:02:16.920 what do you notice about this thing I have on the whiteboard here?
00:02:21.000 It's a lot of names.
00:02:22.080 It's a lot of names, isn't it?
00:02:24.020 That's a problem.
00:02:25.900 Why, for goodness sake,
00:02:28.300 is there 12 people running
00:02:31.320 or very likely to run for the BC conservative leadership?
00:02:35.500 And by the way,
00:02:37.120 I will right now star every single person
00:02:40.120 who is currently running,
00:02:43.160 and then you will see who has not yet jumped in the race.
00:02:45.780 So, Daryl Jones is in the race.
00:02:50.440 Harrilyn Finley is in the race.
00:02:52.180 Peter Bellobar in the race.
00:02:53.840 Caroline Elliott in the race.
00:02:54.980 Ian Black in the race.
00:02:56.000 Bruce Bandman in the race.
00:02:57.420 We have Steve Cooner in the race.
00:02:59.020 Warren Hamm in the race.
00:03:00.000 Uri Falmer in the race.
00:03:01.300 Sheldon Clare in the race.
00:03:02.860 There are only two people on here
00:03:04.560 who have not yet officially entered,
00:03:07.120 but I can already see,
00:03:08.280 Harman Bangu is going to get in.
00:03:09.440 Yes, the signature deadline is in two days on the 15th,
00:03:13.020 but his people are going around raising money
00:03:15.120 and they are getting signatures.
00:03:16.760 The last guy who might jump in the race
00:03:19.400 is John Rustad.
00:03:21.800 And now I know what you're thinking,
00:03:23.620 but Wyatt, he was just the BC conservative leader.
00:03:27.220 Why would he be running?
00:03:28.700 Because the field's not that good.
00:03:31.180 That's really it.
00:03:32.480 And so John, yes, people are saying,
00:03:34.680 well, how is he going to get the signatures
00:03:36.060 in only a few days?
00:03:38.040 He's probably been getting signatures
00:03:39.500 well before he was ever speculating online.
00:03:42.940 Like his accounts on social media
00:03:45.640 have been putting out these quotes
00:03:47.100 like everyone loves to come back
00:03:48.760 and all this stuff
00:03:49.660 and making all these jokes
00:03:51.000 about how he's going to run.
00:03:52.460 But from background chatter,
00:03:54.540 he's absolutely thinking about it.
00:03:56.560 And by the way,
00:03:57.500 he could probably beat a lot of these people
00:03:59.060 because who the heck are they?
00:04:01.180 Who are any of these people?
00:04:02.720 Now, some of them aren't even exactly like terrible.
00:04:06.060 I wouldn't say that some of these people
00:04:07.660 are like all liberals,
00:04:09.420 but in terms of the people who can win,
00:04:11.880 they're pretty much all liberals.
00:04:14.020 They're all people who've hired
00:04:15.760 the same teams of people
00:04:17.060 who ended up messing up
00:04:18.520 the last provincial election
00:04:19.680 for the BC conservatives.
00:04:21.440 Caroline Elliott's team especially
00:04:23.460 is wall to wall people
00:04:25.420 who used to be progressive hack Tories
00:04:27.720 like a few years ago.
00:04:29.220 They were on the BC conservative
00:04:30.640 provincial campaign in 2024
00:04:32.500 where like some of the most expensive employees
00:04:36.420 and some of the most useless employees,
00:04:38.680 that's Caroline Elliott's team.
00:04:40.700 And a lot of these other people,
00:04:41.900 it's kind of just recycled folks
00:04:43.560 on their staff.
00:04:44.800 And many of them are just recycled BC liberals
00:04:47.060 or they're just kind of low profile members
00:04:50.020 of the current BC conservative caucus.
00:04:53.000 Like that's really,
00:04:54.640 we'll go through it in just a second.
00:04:56.320 I will go person by person,
00:04:58.100 but the only person who's a maybe here
00:05:00.900 right now is John Rustad.
00:05:02.840 Everyone is in the race
00:05:04.380 or it's Harmon who just hasn't quite said
00:05:07.260 he's in the race yet.
00:05:08.660 And goodness Harmon,
00:05:09.540 just say you're in the race.
00:05:10.860 Please do it.
00:05:11.600 It's getting like way too late.
00:05:13.200 You're supposed to announce after Christmas
00:05:15.380 and we are in,
00:05:16.940 you know,
00:05:17.380 not Christmas,
00:05:18.520 February 13th is when I'm shooting this thing.
00:05:21.300 Maybe he'll have announced
00:05:22.280 by the time this video comes out,
00:05:23.980 but I don't even know at this point, man.
00:05:26.180 So we will be using my pointy stick.
00:05:30.860 We will call it the stick of truth in this video.
00:05:34.000 Daryl Jones,
00:05:35.180 he is the CEO,
00:05:37.140 I believe of,
00:05:38.420 or something like that,
00:05:39.640 the chairman,
00:05:40.380 whatever,
00:05:41.180 of Save On Foods.
00:05:43.520 A lot of people actually know who he is
00:05:44.980 and we're going to get to some numbers
00:05:46.300 around name recognition
00:05:47.320 in just a second here.
00:05:48.900 Then we have Carrie Lynn Finley,
00:05:50.580 who was the whip
00:05:52.820 of the federal conservative caucus
00:05:54.840 until she didn't win her re-election
00:05:56.700 in the 2025 federal election.
00:05:59.220 Now,
00:05:59.560 someone could hold that against her
00:06:00.780 and say,
00:06:01.160 well,
00:06:01.440 see,
00:06:01.700 she lost her seat,
00:06:02.820 ergo,
00:06:03.720 she's not electable.
00:06:05.060 Although,
00:06:05.800 remember,
00:06:06.440 and I don't like,
00:06:07.020 I don't dislike these people at all.
00:06:08.200 I really like them.
00:06:08.800 Michelle Ferreri also lost her seat.
00:06:10.480 Pierre Polyam also lost his seat.
00:06:12.480 There were certain
00:06:13.260 sort of like
00:06:14.160 demographics of people
00:06:15.460 who really pushed back hard
00:06:17.140 on the conservatives
00:06:18.240 in this last election.
00:06:19.180 And it was usually like
00:06:20.460 white older retirees
00:06:22.160 that the conservatives
00:06:22.980 didn't do well with.
00:06:24.200 And that really defines
00:06:25.360 a riding like Carlton,
00:06:27.360 like Peterborough-Kowaltha,
00:06:29.220 like South Surrey-White Rock
00:06:30.800 where Carrie Lynn Finley was.
00:06:32.420 So I don't blame her for that.
00:06:33.640 She might even be
00:06:34.340 one of the more conservative people
00:06:35.640 on this list.
00:06:37.060 We then have Peter Millibar,
00:06:39.200 who was one of the house,
00:06:40.500 I think it was like
00:06:41.020 the deputy house leaders
00:06:42.660 for the conservatives.
00:06:44.340 I forget what his exact role was.
00:06:45.860 But he's an MLA,
00:06:47.280 was first elected
00:06:48.460 under the BC Liberals
00:06:50.220 back in, I think,
00:06:51.460 probably like 2018
00:06:52.880 or something like that.
00:06:54.200 Might have even been before that.
00:06:56.220 Longer time MLA,
00:06:57.980 we have Caroline Elliott,
00:06:59.480 who although she's made herself out
00:07:01.160 to be like this conservative,
00:07:03.880 like, you know,
00:07:04.460 a philosophical,
00:07:06.540 conservative commentary person,
00:07:09.440 she's a BC Liberal.
00:07:10.740 She was literally the president
00:07:12.300 of the BC Liberal
00:07:13.800 and BC United Party.
00:07:15.040 I believe she was the president
00:07:16.040 for the 20 months
00:07:17.040 that they were spiraling
00:07:18.120 into, like, the grave
00:07:19.700 at the very end there.
00:07:20.800 And she couldn't figure out
00:07:21.780 how to pull out of that tailspin.
00:07:23.380 So I guess, you know,
00:07:24.720 vote accordingly.
00:07:25.640 She also hired Corey Tanike
00:07:27.240 as her campaign manager,
00:07:29.260 who hates,
00:07:31.060 hates Pierre Paglia.
00:07:32.720 A big Doug Ford guy.
00:07:34.100 His claim to fame
00:07:34.880 is he helped Doug Ford
00:07:35.800 win the last three
00:07:36.760 provincial elections.
00:07:38.420 Although that doesn't really
00:07:39.320 take any skill
00:07:40.120 because Doug Ford's running
00:07:41.160 against complete loser candidates.
00:07:42.740 But that's another story.
00:07:45.160 For another day,
00:07:46.060 there's a lot of other people
00:07:46.960 on her campaign
00:07:47.660 that have smeared
00:07:48.440 Dallas Brody
00:07:49.320 and won BC in the past as well.
00:07:52.060 So then we get to Ian Black.
00:07:54.560 Ian Black,
00:07:55.720 former cabinet minister
00:07:57.880 under, for the, you know,
00:07:59.480 BC provincial government
00:08:00.540 under Christy Clark.
00:08:02.480 Really, that's all you can say
00:08:03.680 about him.
00:08:04.220 A very pragmatic BC Liberal.
00:08:07.240 Bruce Bandman,
00:08:08.260 who was also elected
00:08:09.060 as a BC Liberal,
00:08:09.960 but one of those
00:08:10.580 late stage ones
00:08:11.560 like the current
00:08:12.540 interim leader,
00:08:14.020 Trevor Halford.
00:08:15.120 He is the MLA
00:08:16.320 for Abbotsford South.
00:08:18.220 I was actually
00:08:18.740 his campaign manager
00:08:19.840 for most of the last
00:08:21.160 provincial election.
00:08:22.700 He was kind of
00:08:23.520 John Rustad's
00:08:24.320 right-hand man,
00:08:25.520 obviously,
00:08:26.400 before the last election
00:08:27.380 because he was
00:08:27.760 the second BC
00:08:28.480 conservative MLA
00:08:29.640 with Rustad.
00:08:32.940 And he was like
00:08:33.280 one of the,
00:08:33.940 he was the other one
00:08:35.020 for a long time
00:08:36.000 before they gained
00:08:36.660 a couple more people
00:08:37.500 before the election
00:08:38.220 was called.
00:08:39.280 We have Bandman there,
00:08:40.420 also more of a veteran MLA.
00:08:42.760 Sheldon Clare,
00:08:43.840 newly elected
00:08:44.540 BC conservative MLA,
00:08:46.520 former president
00:08:47.240 of the National
00:08:48.100 Firearms Association,
00:08:50.000 the NFA.
00:08:51.260 We have Uri Fulmer here
00:08:52.580 who was a candidate
00:08:53.440 for the conservatives
00:08:54.200 in the last
00:08:54.860 provincial election
00:08:55.800 and lost the,
00:08:57.540 I think it was like
00:08:58.100 the North Shore
00:08:59.460 or the like
00:09:00.620 North Vancouver
00:09:01.260 sea to sky riding
00:09:02.560 to Jeremy Valeriot,
00:09:04.060 who is the Green Party's
00:09:05.940 House leader right now.
00:09:07.720 We have Warren Ham
00:09:08.940 who I believe
00:09:09.560 is a conservative
00:09:10.900 activist and lawyer.
00:09:12.520 He's probably
00:09:12.920 the most conservative
00:09:13.820 guy on this list.
00:09:15.240 We have Harmon Bangu,
00:09:16.620 another new
00:09:17.740 BC conservative MLA
00:09:19.260 from Langley Abbotsford.
00:09:22.140 Probably in this group
00:09:23.380 of people
00:09:23.800 a little bit more
00:09:24.760 on the right
00:09:25.560 compared to the rest
00:09:26.560 of them.
00:09:27.380 But even then
00:09:28.040 with guys who are
00:09:29.060 even more on the right,
00:09:30.200 like Sheldon's
00:09:30.720 more on the right,
00:09:31.860 Harmon's more on the right,
00:09:33.720 maybe though,
00:09:34.560 it depends,
00:09:35.200 because it really,
00:09:36.420 I kind of struggle
00:09:38.200 to really say
00:09:39.480 if these guys
00:09:39.960 are actually conservative
00:09:41.220 considering the fact
00:09:43.120 that when Dallas Brody
00:09:44.320 was kicked out of caucus
00:09:45.320 and when so many
00:09:46.200 other things happened,
00:09:47.940 if they did the right thing,
00:09:49.500 it was because
00:09:49.920 Dallas Brody basically
00:09:50.880 had to push them
00:09:51.640 into doing the right thing.
00:09:53.040 And previously,
00:09:54.080 it's hard to recommend
00:09:56.040 them previously.
00:09:57.620 If they start doing
00:09:58.480 and saying the right things
00:09:59.340 now, maybe,
00:10:00.180 I just don't know.
00:10:01.860 We have Steve Cooner
00:10:02.980 here who is the,
00:10:04.640 I think,
00:10:05.100 the Richmond-Queensboro
00:10:06.540 MLA,
00:10:07.600 another new conservative guy.
00:10:09.200 And then,
00:10:09.500 of course,
00:10:09.820 John Rustad,
00:10:10.560 the former BC
00:10:11.580 conservative leader
00:10:12.480 as of, like,
00:10:13.760 December,
00:10:14.700 very recently kicked out
00:10:16.540 as the leader.
00:10:17.620 But again,
00:10:19.860 I can't,
00:10:20.660 he could win.
00:10:21.580 He could win again.
00:10:22.640 Honestly,
00:10:23.080 it's kind of a fun thing
00:10:24.340 for him to do.
00:10:25.360 Jump back in the race.
00:10:26.400 He should go on,
00:10:27.040 like,
00:10:27.260 a tear against everybody.
00:10:29.040 Like,
00:10:29.360 the whole,
00:10:29.680 I only stepped down
00:10:30.800 as leader
00:10:31.220 so I could run again
00:10:32.200 and kick all your butts
00:10:33.320 and prove that I'm still,
00:10:34.700 you know,
00:10:35.180 stomping around this party
00:10:36.280 like Godzilla through Tokyo.
00:10:38.200 You know,
00:10:38.780 if you want the leadership,
00:10:40.240 come and take it from me,
00:10:41.580 you giant piles
00:10:42.660 of ungrateful pig filth.
00:10:44.840 I would love that kind of,
00:10:46.240 like,
00:10:46.740 villainous character arc
00:10:47.960 for John Rustad,
00:10:48.960 a man who is
00:10:49.680 not particularly interesting.
00:10:52.680 But yeah,
00:10:53.420 like,
00:10:53.900 the really big L liberals
00:10:55.940 on this list
00:10:56.860 are Milibar,
00:10:59.560 Harry Linfit,
00:11:00.340 or Caroline Elliott,
00:11:02.360 Ian Black.
00:11:04.160 Bruce Bandman
00:11:04.960 is like a small L.
00:11:06.560 From me being
00:11:07.140 his campaign manager,
00:11:08.200 I knew he was like a guy
00:11:09.180 who, like,
00:11:09.800 really hated Donald Trump,
00:11:11.700 would constantly complain
00:11:13.100 that too many
00:11:13.920 of the people in the party
00:11:14.820 are far right
00:11:15.600 and all that stuff.
00:11:16.260 Maybe he's sorted that out
00:11:17.680 and he doesn't,
00:11:18.340 he's not like that.
00:11:20.100 Uri Falmer's like a small L.
00:11:22.740 Steve Cooner's a big L.
00:11:24.940 And John Rustad's a small L.
00:11:27.480 Daryl Jones is probably
00:11:28.580 a small L as well.
00:11:30.160 And then I would say
00:11:31.280 with some of these people
00:11:32.500 like Carrie Lynn Finley
00:11:33.820 and whatnot,
00:11:35.200 we can kind of,
00:11:35.880 like,
00:11:36.020 say that these people
00:11:36.840 have, like,
00:11:37.760 a small,
00:11:38.740 a small pale C
00:11:40.720 we can put behind
00:11:42.000 some of these people.
00:11:43.060 Small pale C
00:11:44.120 behind some of these guys.
00:11:45.660 And maybe they are
00:11:46.420 really conservative.
00:11:47.580 But they've only said
00:11:48.800 they're conservative so far.
00:11:49.940 They haven't done anything.
00:11:51.180 They haven't done something
00:11:52.180 like Dallas Brody
00:11:52.960 to put themselves out there
00:11:54.080 where they actually have
00:11:55.120 to risk something
00:11:56.040 to stand up
00:11:56.680 for their conservative principles.
00:11:58.260 They've mostly been able
00:11:59.360 to sit comfortably
00:12:00.400 and they've not said anything
00:12:02.420 about massive amounts
00:12:04.100 of internal corruption
00:12:05.160 inside the B.C.
00:12:06.080 Conservative Party
00:12:06.800 like donor money
00:12:07.940 being wasted,
00:12:09.040 the last AGM being rigged,
00:12:11.020 John Rustad
00:12:11.640 trying to rig
00:12:12.380 his leadership review.
00:12:13.980 It's been wild out there.
00:12:16.080 But anyways,
00:12:17.060 with all that being said,
00:12:18.720 I want to move on
00:12:19.800 to some other stuff here.
00:12:21.100 to basically,
00:12:22.880 maybe this is the last way
00:12:24.240 I'll sum this whole thing up.
00:12:25.780 The fact we have 12 candidates
00:12:27.580 is a problem.
00:12:29.460 If you had a strong party,
00:12:31.320 you'd have five,
00:12:32.800 maybe six.
00:12:34.280 The problem with having 12
00:12:35.820 and even probably five's pushing it,
00:12:37.960 maybe three or four
00:12:38.780 you should have.
00:12:39.680 With this many people
00:12:40.700 in the race,
00:12:41.420 it's because nobody
00:12:42.740 sees a winner here.
00:12:44.500 We basically have
00:12:45.600 a bunch of people
00:12:46.620 who don't think
00:12:47.520 anyone else can win
00:12:48.500 because none of them
00:12:49.840 are particularly inspiring.
00:12:51.580 I was actually about to move on
00:12:53.000 before I did my name recognition stuff,
00:12:54.600 but this will kind of drill at home.
00:12:56.860 So on this list,
00:12:58.400 do you know who has
00:12:59.320 the best name recognition?
00:13:01.320 I'll just quickly get rid of
00:13:02.460 these L's here and whatnot.
00:13:04.860 The highest name recognition
00:13:06.440 on this list
00:13:07.420 might shock you,
00:13:09.240 but it also probably doesn't
00:13:10.300 when you think about it.
00:13:11.980 Highest name recognition,
00:13:13.160 and I'm basing this
00:13:13.920 only off of who
00:13:14.740 conservative voters,
00:13:16.080 conservative supporters,
00:13:17.420 say they recognize.
00:13:18.200 So these are people
00:13:18.860 with a little bit more skin
00:13:19.700 in the game.
00:13:20.860 26% of people
00:13:22.900 recognize Daryl Jones,
00:13:25.400 you know, former.
00:13:26.360 He's been on all
00:13:27.080 the Save on Food ads
00:13:28.140 for over a decade,
00:13:29.280 so naturally people
00:13:30.060 know who he is.
00:13:31.220 Second highest is
00:13:32.460 Carrie Lynn Finley here.
00:13:34.580 Third highest is
00:13:35.500 Peter Milibar,
00:13:36.480 and this is 26% for Daryl,
00:13:38.740 19% for Carrie Lynn Finley,
00:13:40.480 17% for Peter Milibar.
00:13:42.300 We have 16% for Caroline Elliott.
00:13:46.320 Ian Black, 14%.
00:13:48.200 After that,
00:13:49.740 Sheldon Clare is 10%.
00:13:51.860 Then we have
00:13:53.160 Yuri Fulmer with 10%,
00:13:54.860 and we have Warren Hamm
00:13:56.460 with 10%,
00:13:57.360 and we have Harmon Bangu
00:13:59.400 at 9%.
00:14:00.360 And the rest of them
00:14:02.200 were not included
00:14:03.240 in this poll
00:14:03.760 because a lot of them
00:14:04.620 hadn't actually announced
00:14:05.720 yet by this point.
00:14:07.120 I'm going to posit
00:14:08.400 that anyone who says
00:14:10.400 they recognize
00:14:11.420 Warren Hamm
00:14:12.220 and Bangu
00:14:13.280 and Sheldon
00:14:14.000 and Yuri Fulmer
00:14:14.940 and even Ian Black
00:14:15.960 are lying.
00:14:17.720 They don't know
00:14:18.260 who these people are.
00:14:19.140 Let's be very clear.
00:14:20.220 These are extremely
00:14:21.240 obscure figures.
00:14:22.620 I would even be impressed
00:14:24.020 if 19% of conservative voters
00:14:25.620 knew who Carrie Lynn Finley was.
00:14:27.280 Been around for a while,
00:14:28.280 but that's...
00:14:28.480 The fact that Daryl Jones,
00:14:30.940 the grocery store guy,
00:14:32.420 is leading you,
00:14:33.640 and he's leading you
00:14:34.700 with 26%
00:14:36.080 of conservative voters,
00:14:37.600 a little more than
00:14:38.460 a quarter of people
00:14:39.220 can remember the guy
00:14:40.300 who was on TV constantly.
00:14:42.300 This is not great.
00:14:43.960 There is no Aaron Gunn
00:14:45.340 in this race.
00:14:45.940 There is no Dallas Brody
00:14:47.500 in this race
00:14:48.020 who gets in
00:14:48.980 and half of people
00:14:50.300 know who they are,
00:14:51.300 and they have strong
00:14:52.200 opinions about them.
00:14:54.100 I think you will be
00:14:54.960 hard-pressed to find
00:14:55.820 anyone with anything
00:14:57.120 positive or negative
00:14:58.360 to say,
00:14:59.220 and in fact,
00:14:59.800 it's not good
00:15:00.320 if people don't have
00:15:01.020 negative things to say.
00:15:02.380 This is politics.
00:15:03.860 People don't have
00:15:04.500 anything to say about you.
00:15:06.040 That's bad.
00:15:07.320 But anyways,
00:15:07.900 I'm going to clear
00:15:08.460 the board now,
00:15:09.280 and I want to move
00:15:10.460 into the new
00:15:11.560 provincial polling
00:15:12.340 and show you
00:15:13.460 how things currently
00:15:14.380 stack up,
00:15:15.060 and I want to debunk
00:15:16.140 a really stupid
00:15:17.340 boat-splitting narrative
00:15:18.500 about 1BC.
00:15:19.660 We're back,
00:15:22.820 and now I want
00:15:23.380 to take you guys
00:15:24.200 into the October
00:15:26.300 2025 Leger polling
00:15:28.260 before we then talk
00:15:30.000 about their February
00:15:31.160 2026 polling.
00:15:33.340 Actually,
00:15:33.720 even before I get
00:15:34.400 into that,
00:15:34.820 I do want to acknowledge
00:15:35.900 the thing I was
00:15:36.900 previously saying
00:15:38.240 I wanted to talk about,
00:15:39.380 which is the BC NDP
00:15:40.760 and the BC Greens
00:15:42.360 ripping up their agreement.
00:15:44.780 Basically,
00:15:45.340 the Greens
00:15:45.780 had signed
00:15:47.000 an agreement
00:15:47.380 with the NDP
00:15:48.040 to help them
00:15:48.740 pass legislation.
00:15:50.420 And now,
00:15:50.840 there is going
00:15:51.280 to be a lot
00:15:51.820 of this kind
00:15:52.300 of fake panic
00:15:53.220 that there could
00:15:53.740 be a snap election.
00:15:55.320 There's not going
00:15:55.800 to be one.
00:15:56.420 It's because the BC NDP,
00:15:57.840 despite leading
00:15:58.800 in many polls,
00:15:59.700 are not very popular
00:16:00.880 right now.
00:16:01.720 If they call a snap
00:16:02.660 election,
00:16:03.480 a lot of their
00:16:04.440 more moderate voters,
00:16:05.840 and I mean like
00:16:06.440 the voters who
00:16:07.240 sometimes show up
00:16:08.100 for them,
00:16:08.500 sometimes don't,
00:16:09.380 sometimes vote
00:16:09.880 for other people,
00:16:11.260 they won't show up
00:16:12.260 if David Eby
00:16:13.220 arrogantly calls
00:16:14.500 an election
00:16:15.000 like a year
00:16:16.260 and a half
00:16:17.100 after the last one,
00:16:18.320 even though he
00:16:18.980 currently has a majority,
00:16:20.980 Emily Lowen,
00:16:21.880 the BC Green leader,
00:16:23.340 is actually going
00:16:23.920 to be quite dangerous
00:16:24.860 to the NDP.
00:16:26.200 It's because she
00:16:26.920 kind of has that
00:16:27.900 Zoran Mamdani,
00:16:29.580 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:16:31.640 Bernie Sanders
00:16:32.540 type energy
00:16:33.420 where she's very
00:16:34.720 dogmatically left-wing.
00:16:36.860 And now,
00:16:37.360 in most provinces,
00:16:38.600 that would not sell
00:16:39.360 at all.
00:16:40.100 But remember,
00:16:40.820 we are in the province
00:16:41.720 of British Columbia,
00:16:43.200 and so she is going
00:16:44.320 to be able to start
00:16:44.840 ripping away a lot
00:16:45.680 of South Island
00:16:46.520 and a lot of
00:16:47.260 lower mainland
00:16:47.980 urban voters
00:16:49.160 from the NDP.
00:16:52.120 And actually,
00:16:52.680 it's going to screw
00:16:53.200 them over
00:16:53.540 in a lot of other
00:16:54.280 ridings because
00:16:55.000 even in interior
00:16:56.400 ridings that the NDP,
00:16:58.220 or sorry,
00:16:58.500 that the Greens
00:16:58.940 can't win,
00:16:59.940 there are a lot
00:17:00.360 of green towns
00:17:01.520 that they could
00:17:02.320 take away from
00:17:03.100 the NDP,
00:17:04.080 making it impossible
00:17:05.060 for the NDP
00:17:06.120 to hold on to
00:17:07.200 some of these
00:17:07.560 interior areas
00:17:08.540 where they kind
00:17:09.440 of need these
00:17:10.180 small art towns
00:17:11.480 or these more
00:17:12.500 dense urban places
00:17:14.040 pockmarked
00:17:14.820 in the interior
00:17:15.540 in order to hold
00:17:16.760 on to the few
00:17:17.360 ridings they have
00:17:18.080 out there.
00:17:18.720 If the Greens
00:17:19.400 increase their vote
00:17:20.380 by like 5 or 6%
00:17:22.000 in these ridings,
00:17:23.140 it actually takes
00:17:23.900 the NDP down
00:17:24.960 to like the low
00:17:25.660 30s or the 20s,
00:17:27.240 and they need to
00:17:28.060 win very narrow
00:17:28.940 races against
00:17:29.720 the Conservatives.
00:17:30.960 And then,
00:17:31.660 which is also going
00:17:32.400 to offset any
00:17:33.200 issues around 1BC
00:17:34.320 because the Greens
00:17:35.540 are also eating
00:17:36.320 into the NDP
00:17:37.000 at the same time,
00:17:38.140 and then you will
00:17:38.620 also have
00:17:39.320 Centre BC,
00:17:40.780 which is also eating
00:17:41.760 into the NDP,
00:17:42.820 which is a
00:17:43.460 centre-left
00:17:44.240 quote-unquote
00:17:45.360 centrist party,
00:17:46.460 but it basically
00:17:47.580 has the same
00:17:48.280 voters as the
00:17:49.480 NDP does in
00:17:50.400 the lower mainland,
00:17:51.240 but whatever.
00:17:52.520 I'm talking too
00:17:53.140 much, but that
00:17:54.100 is to say,
00:17:54.720 if anyone starts
00:17:55.420 speculating that
00:17:56.380 you've got to
00:17:56.760 get back on board
00:17:57.560 with the Conservatives
00:17:58.460 because there
00:17:59.020 could be a
00:17:59.480 stamp election,
00:18:00.260 look, the Greens,
00:18:01.060 the NDP,
00:18:01.620 ripped up their
00:18:02.060 agreement.
00:18:02.960 It means nothing.
00:18:04.180 It effectively
00:18:04.780 doesn't mean
00:18:05.300 anything.
00:18:06.260 But now,
00:18:07.160 let's get back
00:18:07.860 to the polls.
00:18:08.940 Let's go back
00:18:10.120 to October.
00:18:11.260 The last time
00:18:12.140 Leger did a
00:18:13.140 poll in
00:18:13.940 British Columbia.
00:18:15.380 Back in
00:18:15.840 October,
00:18:16.880 they actually
00:18:17.580 had the NDP
00:18:18.320 winning pretty
00:18:19.680 handily if an
00:18:20.980 election was
00:18:21.740 called.
00:18:23.800 Now, the NDP
00:18:24.720 back in October
00:18:25.840 was at 48%
00:18:28.440 of the vote.
00:18:29.980 And then,
00:18:30.540 you had the
00:18:31.540 BC Conservatives
00:18:32.680 trailing pretty
00:18:33.920 far behind at
00:18:35.600 38% of the vote.
00:18:38.760 A full 10
00:18:39.820 points down.
00:18:41.460 And then,
00:18:41.880 the Green Party
00:18:42.780 back then
00:18:43.440 was at
00:18:44.540 8 points
00:18:45.560 and then they
00:18:46.040 didn't poll
00:18:46.700 anybody else
00:18:48.040 in this
00:18:49.400 tranche.
00:18:50.420 I think there
00:18:50.820 might be a
00:18:51.540 discrepancy here.
00:18:52.680 Obviously,
00:18:53.120 this doesn't add
00:18:53.820 up to 100.
00:18:54.460 I think there
00:18:54.820 was like another
00:18:55.240 8 or so
00:18:56.000 who were voting
00:18:56.800 other.
00:18:57.560 But oftentimes,
00:18:58.060 it's a pretty
00:18:58.740 useless way of
00:18:59.520 doing polling.
00:19:00.960 But anyways,
00:19:01.960 let's jump forward
00:19:02.860 now to
00:19:04.080 Leger in February.
00:19:05.940 And remember,
00:19:07.160 Leger is a
00:19:08.260 more left-wing
00:19:09.540 kind of leaning
00:19:10.480 bolster.
00:19:11.600 Not in terms
00:19:12.440 of they want
00:19:13.240 to be biased,
00:19:13.980 but in terms
00:19:14.440 of the way
00:19:14.840 they do sampling,
00:19:15.780 they tend to
00:19:16.380 oversample
00:19:17.400 urban progressive
00:19:18.800 voters.
00:19:19.920 So back over
00:19:20.500 here,
00:19:20.780 we'll just put
00:19:21.380 down the
00:19:21.940 plus 10
00:19:23.520 BC NDP.
00:19:29.160 Now,
00:19:29.800 over here,
00:19:30.980 we have
00:19:31.860 February 26,
00:19:33.220 which is
00:19:34.280 the first time
00:19:35.360 that the
00:19:35.740 Leger polling
00:19:37.800 even bothered
00:19:38.720 including the
00:19:39.760 1 BC party.
00:19:41.320 So we have
00:19:42.180 the NDP
00:19:43.060 still winning
00:19:44.380 in this poll,
00:19:45.860 but they are
00:19:47.560 down to
00:19:48.180 44%.
00:19:49.540 They have
00:19:50.260 lost 4%
00:19:51.440 in the polls.
00:19:52.820 And then
00:19:53.240 we have
00:19:53.900 the conservatives
00:19:55.360 effectively
00:19:56.320 holding
00:19:56.960 exactly steady
00:19:58.120 with 38%
00:20:00.260 of the vote,
00:20:01.040 but still
00:20:01.420 trailing the
00:20:01.960 NDP,
00:20:02.440 of course.
00:20:02.840 then in
00:20:05.100 this poll,
00:20:05.860 we have
00:20:06.880 the green
00:20:07.320 party now
00:20:08.520 up to
00:20:09.280 9%,
00:20:10.460 1 point
00:20:12.000 up.
00:20:13.660 And 1 BC
00:20:14.920 is not doing
00:20:16.780 too bad at
00:20:17.340 all at
00:20:18.580 6% in this
00:20:20.060 poll.
00:20:20.980 Now,
00:20:21.240 this is one
00:20:22.080 of the worst
00:20:22.700 polls for
00:20:23.400 1 BC
00:20:24.240 in kind of
00:20:25.460 like the
00:20:25.780 recent tranche
00:20:26.560 of polling.
00:20:26.960 we have
00:20:27.700 1 BC
00:20:28.300 in a
00:20:28.700 previous
00:20:29.080 Main Street
00:20:29.700 poll
00:20:30.020 actually at
00:20:30.940 8%,
00:20:31.600 and in
00:20:32.160 that poll,
00:20:32.660 the conservatives
00:20:33.160 were actually
00:20:33.540 still beating
00:20:34.220 the NDP
00:20:34.800 by 1 point.
00:20:36.260 But even
00:20:36.780 in this
00:20:37.380 poll that
00:20:38.260 tends to
00:20:38.820 lean more
00:20:39.560 NDP,
00:20:40.400 we have
00:20:41.080 1 BC
00:20:41.560 at 6%,
00:20:42.560 and the
00:20:43.700 NDP
00:20:44.200 now only
00:20:45.360 ends up
00:20:45.820 leading
00:20:46.300 the conservatives
00:20:47.160 by 6 points.
00:20:49.100 But one
00:20:53.660 thing I'd
00:20:54.060 want you
00:20:54.440 to notice
00:20:54.880 is that
00:20:55.600 the narrative
00:20:56.140 around 1 BC
00:20:57.360 as a party
00:20:57.940 is that
00:20:58.400 you guys
00:20:59.100 can't run,
00:21:00.160 you're going
00:21:00.660 to split
00:21:01.040 the vote,
00:21:01.660 this is
00:21:02.000 terrible.
00:21:03.220 It's just
00:21:03.900 really not
00:21:04.580 how it
00:21:05.020 works,
00:21:05.440 guys.
00:21:05.940 Like,
00:21:06.220 I'm just
00:21:06.460 going to
00:21:06.560 quickly
00:21:06.820 calculate
00:21:07.240 this out
00:21:07.820 because I
00:21:08.200 know we're
00:21:08.640 missing a
00:21:09.020 bunch of
00:21:09.280 other polling
00:21:09.960 in this
00:21:10.780 one.
00:21:11.460 So we
00:21:11.920 go 48
00:21:12.760 plus 38
00:21:13.960 plus 8,
00:21:15.780 and we
00:21:16.180 end up
00:21:16.620 having back
00:21:17.400 here,
00:21:17.780 if we
00:21:18.100 added back
00:21:18.800 in the
00:21:19.280 other
00:21:19.560 vote,
00:21:20.300 we still
00:21:21.060 had 6%
00:21:22.700 who wanted
00:21:23.580 to vote
00:21:23.980 for another
00:21:24.420 party.
00:21:25.460 Now you'll
00:21:25.920 notice when
00:21:26.520 you didn't
00:21:27.060 have 1 BC
00:21:27.820 as an option,
00:21:29.080 still the
00:21:29.920 conservatives
00:21:30.340 left 6
00:21:31.140 points on
00:21:31.560 the table,
00:21:32.520 and over
00:21:32.880 here 1 BC
00:21:33.760 has picked
00:21:34.220 up 6
00:21:34.740 points,
00:21:35.660 and over
00:21:36.060 here I
00:21:36.380 believe that
00:21:36.920 does this
00:21:37.540 add up
00:21:37.860 to 100
00:21:38.360 now?
00:21:40.220 It's always
00:21:40.520 one of those
00:21:40.840 things I have
00:21:41.260 to make
00:21:41.560 sure works.
00:21:43.440 And this
00:21:43.840 one even
00:21:44.680 still has
00:21:45.520 another 3
00:21:47.040 points that
00:21:48.040 hasn't been
00:21:48.580 allocated to
00:21:49.880 another
00:21:50.340 party.
00:21:51.560 And now
00:21:51.900 that could
00:21:52.500 be, you
00:21:53.520 know,
00:21:53.760 center BC.
00:21:54.900 I still
00:21:55.620 suspect a lot
00:21:56.400 of those
00:21:56.640 people are
00:21:57.600 1 BC
00:21:58.200 voters.
00:21:59.040 They just
00:21:59.420 don't know
00:22:00.740 the name
00:22:01.260 well enough
00:22:01.720 yet.
00:22:01.960 They know
00:22:02.220 they like
00:22:02.600 Dallas
00:22:02.880 Brody
00:22:03.220 maybe,
00:22:03.700 but maybe
00:22:04.040 they don't
00:22:04.340 know the
00:22:04.640 brand well
00:22:05.160 enough that
00:22:05.580 point blank
00:22:06.480 when a
00:22:06.780 random poll
00:22:07.380 is given
00:22:07.740 to them,
00:22:08.440 they know
00:22:08.920 that that's
00:22:09.420 the party
00:22:09.820 they want
00:22:10.320 to be
00:22:10.640 selecting.
00:22:11.940 But again,
00:22:12.840 I bring it
00:22:13.360 back to
00:22:14.000 if the
00:22:14.780 conservatives
00:22:15.300 needed 1 BC
00:22:16.500 out of the
00:22:16.920 race to
00:22:17.300 win,
00:22:17.940 why weren't
00:22:18.540 they winning
00:22:18.920 back when it
00:22:19.520 wasn't even
00:22:20.000 an option?
00:22:20.800 An option
00:22:21.240 that nobody
00:22:21.800 even knew
00:22:22.340 existed.
00:22:22.960 Yes,
00:22:23.220 1 BC
00:22:23.580 existed back
00:22:24.440 in October,
00:22:24.960 so a lot
00:22:25.980 of those
00:22:26.200 others might
00:22:26.740 have been
00:22:27.020 wanting to
00:22:27.580 vote 1 BC,
00:22:28.360 but it
00:22:28.540 wasn't given
00:22:28.940 to them as
00:22:29.360 an option.
00:22:30.160 But this
00:22:30.500 is still
00:22:31.020 super early,
00:22:32.420 like two
00:22:32.940 months into
00:22:33.400 the party
00:22:33.780 even being
00:22:34.400 in the
00:22:34.640 public eye.
00:22:36.020 But why
00:22:36.580 are the
00:22:37.680 conservatives
00:22:38.060 down 10
00:22:38.500 points?
00:22:39.040 And it
00:22:39.300 goes back to
00:22:39.940 the conservative
00:22:40.380 leadership race.
00:22:41.420 It's full of
00:22:42.140 liberals,
00:22:42.860 it doesn't
00:22:43.360 really represent
00:22:44.140 decisive change,
00:22:45.420 and the
00:22:45.640 thing is that
00:22:46.040 there's a lot
00:22:46.560 of voters
00:22:46.940 who only
00:22:47.320 want to
00:22:47.640 show up
00:22:47.940 if the
00:22:48.180 change is
00:22:48.600 going to
00:22:48.940 be
00:22:49.100 substantial.
00:22:50.100 You can't
00:22:50.440 just basically
00:22:51.000 tell people,
00:22:51.960 well,
00:22:52.120 we're the
00:22:52.500 only game
00:22:53.040 in town
00:22:53.500 and you
00:22:53.780 better vote
00:22:54.340 for us
00:22:54.800 or else.
00:22:55.960 Or else
00:22:56.460 what?
00:22:56.860 The people
00:22:57.200 can just
00:22:57.580 stay home.
00:22:58.620 So right
00:22:58.960 now 1 BC
00:22:59.640 is representing
00:23:00.440 all those
00:23:00.840 people who
00:23:01.200 are ticked
00:23:01.680 off,
00:23:02.280 and by
00:23:02.740 the way,
00:23:03.340 I will
00:23:03.820 add,
00:23:04.500 hey,
00:23:04.720 look,
00:23:05.400 six points
00:23:05.920 over there
00:23:06.440 for the
00:23:06.980 other,
00:23:07.500 three points
00:23:07.960 over here.
00:23:08.880 So we
00:23:09.360 only took
00:23:09.820 half of the
00:23:10.440 other votes,
00:23:14.140 we took
00:23:14.620 votes from
00:23:15.500 the NDP
00:23:16.040 in theory.
00:23:17.080 Maybe a
00:23:17.940 bunch of
00:23:18.300 NDP votes
00:23:19.160 went over
00:23:20.040 to the
00:23:21.020 Conservatives
00:23:21.760 and then
00:23:22.240 went over
00:23:22.740 to the
00:23:23.040 Greens,
00:23:23.680 and then
00:23:24.000 we stole
00:23:24.740 them from
00:23:25.160 the
00:23:25.340 Conservatives.
00:23:26.460 Maybe that
00:23:27.160 happened.
00:23:27.980 I actually
00:23:28.440 don't think
00:23:29.140 that's what's
00:23:29.620 going on
00:23:30.220 because there
00:23:30.820 are so
00:23:31.340 many what
00:23:32.420 I would
00:23:32.680 call old
00:23:33.780 hard hat
00:23:34.520 John Horgan
00:23:35.460 voters.
00:23:35.900 I don't
00:23:36.120 mean old
00:23:36.700 in terms
00:23:37.160 of like
00:23:37.660 older voters
00:23:38.480 by age.
00:23:39.500 I just
00:23:39.700 mean in
00:23:40.420 terms of
00:23:40.840 it's the
00:23:41.380 old faction
00:23:42.220 of the
00:23:42.540 NDP.
00:23:42.920 The
00:23:43.560 hard hat
00:23:44.220 trades
00:23:44.840 guys who
00:23:45.720 really liked
00:23:46.420 the cut
00:23:46.900 of John
00:23:47.300 Horgan's
00:23:47.840 jib.
00:23:48.580 But now
00:23:49.080 that David
00:23:49.700 Eby is
00:23:50.320 the
00:23:50.480 premier,
00:23:51.540 no.
00:23:52.260 Now that
00:23:52.700 Brenda
00:23:53.020 Bailey is
00:23:53.680 putting out
00:23:54.180 these terrible
00:23:55.060 deficits
00:23:56.340 of like
00:23:56.680 $11 billion
00:23:57.560 for a
00:23:58.800 provincial
00:23:59.260 government,
00:23:59.760 you're not
00:24:00.020 even the
00:24:00.380 national
00:24:00.820 government,
00:24:01.520 an $11
00:24:02.100 billion
00:24:02.620 deficit
00:24:03.480 for that
00:24:04.440 government,
00:24:04.900 you're going
00:24:05.160 to have a
00:24:05.540 lot of
00:24:05.720 these small
00:24:06.280 business
00:24:07.780 guys,
00:24:08.600 a lot of
00:24:08.840 these trades
00:24:09.460 guys,
00:24:09.980 a lot of
00:24:10.280 these trade
00:24:10.740 union
00:24:11.100 workers.
00:24:11.620 They're
00:24:12.360 going to
00:24:12.860 leave
00:24:13.200 NDP
00:24:13.900 and go
00:24:14.320 to the
00:24:14.580 conservatives
00:24:15.000 who,
00:24:15.440 the 1BC
00:24:16.300 sorry,
00:24:17.040 who wants
00:24:17.340 to get rid
00:24:17.700 of all the
00:24:18.020 stupid land
00:24:18.600 deals,
00:24:19.240 who wants
00:24:19.540 to cut
00:24:19.780 their taxes
00:24:20.360 25%
00:24:21.240 across the
00:24:21.820 board,
00:24:22.260 who wants
00:24:22.800 to heavily
00:24:23.240 deregulate.
00:24:24.620 There were
00:24:25.120 some NDP
00:24:25.700 voters who
00:24:26.560 voted NDP
00:24:27.320 back in the
00:24:28.220 day,
00:24:28.500 like back
00:24:28.940 in 2018,
00:24:29.760 2020,
00:24:30.700 because it
00:24:31.080 was the
00:24:31.440 anti-establishment
00:24:32.640 option from
00:24:33.540 the Christie
00:24:34.100 Clark
00:24:34.540 corrupt
00:24:35.020 liberals.
00:24:35.480 And for
00:24:36.280 some reason
00:24:36.860 now,
00:24:37.520 we might
00:24:37.920 hand the
00:24:38.340 BC
00:24:38.560 Conservative
00:24:39.040 Party
00:24:39.460 back to
00:24:40.300 more corrupt
00:24:41.060 BC,
00:24:42.080 like the
00:24:42.660 BC
00:24:42.980 liberal,
00:24:43.900 Christie
00:24:44.160 Clark
00:24:44.540 liberals.
00:24:45.380 It's so
00:24:46.160 stupid.
00:24:47.240 But this
00:24:48.460 is why
00:24:48.920 right now
00:24:49.840 1BC,
00:24:50.820 and I'll
00:24:51.020 just bring
00:24:51.320 this up
00:24:51.640 on my
00:24:51.920 computer so
00:24:52.440 you guys
00:24:52.720 can check
00:24:53.140 it out,
00:24:53.780 1BC is
00:24:54.860 having some
00:24:55.680 great events
00:24:56.760 around the
00:24:57.180 province.
00:24:58.100 This was
00:24:58.560 our event
00:24:59.120 that Dallas
00:24:59.940 just did
00:25:00.560 with the
00:25:00.880 rest of the
00:25:01.300 team.
00:25:01.680 I couldn't
00:25:01.960 be there
00:25:02.320 because I'm
00:25:02.800 packing up
00:25:03.280 to go to
00:25:03.520 Victoria.
00:25:03.880 This is
00:25:05.060 the event
00:25:05.460 we just
00:25:06.260 did in
00:25:07.140 Creston.
00:25:08.300 Now,
00:25:08.900 it's not
00:25:09.240 the biggest
00:25:09.700 room on
00:25:10.080 the planet,
00:25:10.640 but it's
00:25:10.880 because a
00:25:11.380 bunch of
00:25:11.620 crazy
00:25:11.940 activists
00:25:12.500 basically
00:25:13.000 made it
00:25:14.120 so that
00:25:14.420 we couldn't
00:25:14.940 actually use
00:25:16.200 the bigger
00:25:16.560 event center
00:25:17.140 in town.
00:25:17.800 It is
00:25:18.240 illegal because
00:25:18.920 it's publicly
00:25:19.480 funded,
00:25:20.520 and we were
00:25:20.900 kicked out
00:25:21.520 because a
00:25:22.620 bunch of
00:25:23.360 native activists
00:25:23.980 threatened them.
00:25:25.040 We could
00:25:25.360 have easily
00:25:25.880 filled up a
00:25:26.520 much larger
00:25:27.060 space.
00:25:27.580 We had to
00:25:27.900 turn people
00:25:28.500 away,
00:25:29.340 is what the
00:25:29.780 team told
00:25:30.240 me.
00:25:30.780 We hit
00:25:31.300 capacity,
00:25:31.980 and we
00:25:32.180 couldn't let
00:25:32.640 a single
00:25:33.020 person
00:25:33.460 more in
00:25:34.200 because
00:25:34.740 obviously the
00:25:35.360 police and
00:25:35.720 the fire
00:25:35.980 department were
00:25:36.580 there and
00:25:36.880 they would
00:25:37.140 immediately
00:25:37.420 put a stop
00:25:37.920 to you.
00:25:38.820 But it
00:25:39.120 wasn't just
00:25:39.520 that one.
00:25:40.160 We had an
00:25:40.840 even bigger
00:25:41.460 event in
00:25:42.400 Sorrento,
00:25:43.540 Sorrento being
00:25:44.340 a town of
00:25:45.320 only 1,300
00:25:46.720 people, and
00:25:48.480 we had a
00:25:49.700 crowd of
00:25:50.280 over 220
00:25:51.640 people out.
00:25:52.980 Now, yeah,
00:25:53.420 people could have
00:25:53.940 driven in from
00:25:54.500 other towns,
00:25:55.420 but every other
00:25:56.140 town is at
00:25:56.660 least half an
00:25:57.260 hour away.
00:25:57.800 So yes,
00:25:58.660 people were
00:25:59.020 in from the
00:25:59.420 Shushwaps and
00:26:00.140 Salmon Arm and
00:26:00.820 maybe Kelowna,
00:26:02.060 but that's a
00:26:02.580 commitment to
00:26:03.640 show up from
00:26:04.300 that far away
00:26:05.160 in order to
00:26:06.020 just see some
00:26:06.660 random MLA
00:26:07.340 speak.
00:26:08.100 But obviously
00:26:08.580 Dallas is not
00:26:09.420 just a random
00:26:09.940 MLA.
00:26:10.820 People actually
00:26:11.380 like her because
00:26:12.280 she says the
00:26:12.920 things that
00:26:13.340 normal people
00:26:14.080 think around
00:26:15.340 SOGI, around
00:26:16.440 native issues,
00:26:17.800 with land
00:26:18.380 claims, around
00:26:19.500 taxes, around
00:26:21.000 corruption in
00:26:21.780 government.
00:26:22.600 There's a lot of
00:26:23.300 stuff that she's
00:26:23.840 talking about that
00:26:24.800 no BC
00:26:25.340 conservative will
00:26:26.280 talk about,
00:26:26.800 although they
00:26:27.600 still try and
00:26:28.160 call her and
00:26:29.520 sort of semi
00:26:31.340 try and beg for
00:26:32.320 an endorsement
00:26:33.060 because although
00:26:33.840 they've treated
00:26:34.480 her poorly,
00:26:35.480 they now want
00:26:36.240 her help to
00:26:36.940 win the BC
00:26:38.180 conservative
00:26:38.680 leadership race
00:26:39.640 and in return
00:26:41.480 like what?
00:26:42.240 It doesn't
00:26:42.860 matter.
00:26:43.220 It's all so
00:26:43.620 stupid.
00:26:44.640 But this is the
00:26:45.280 current situation.
00:26:46.720 We are bringing
00:26:47.420 in more people
00:26:48.260 to our events
00:26:49.000 than every single
00:26:50.240 BC conservative
00:26:51.060 leadership candidate
00:26:52.000 combined effectively.
00:26:53.720 Like I need to
00:26:54.340 show you guys
00:26:54.960 the Caroline Elliott
00:26:56.180 video.
00:26:56.800 that she just
00:26:57.360 put out promoting
00:26:58.040 her run.
00:26:59.000 It's really not
00:26:59.860 that many people
00:27:00.680 when you break it
00:27:01.680 down.
00:27:02.280 Look at this.
00:27:04.520 There is a reason
00:27:05.760 why here Caroline
00:27:07.320 Elliott is having
00:27:08.140 to have her team
00:27:09.100 shoot really close
00:27:10.560 to her.
00:27:10.980 They need close
00:27:11.780 tight angle shots.
00:27:12.880 We are so lucky.
00:27:16.340 We live in a province
00:27:17.880 that has an abundance
00:27:18.840 of natural resources.
00:27:20.380 We have a talented
00:27:21.640 workforce.
00:27:22.220 We have technology.
00:27:23.040 We have a location
00:27:24.520 that people would kill
00:27:26.020 for.
00:27:26.480 Most people look at that
00:27:27.460 and think we should be
00:27:28.060 the most prosperous
00:27:28.880 nation on earth.
00:27:30.320 We should be the most
00:27:31.000 prosperous province
00:27:31.880 in the most prosperous
00:27:32.700 nation on earth.
00:27:33.640 And there is nothing
00:27:34.380 stopping us except for
00:27:35.700 a government that wants
00:27:36.600 to throw up roadblocks
00:27:37.840 every step of the way.
00:27:40.180 We have to stop that.
00:27:41.640 And then we have
00:27:47.660 these like tiny rooms
00:27:48.620 where they really need
00:27:50.020 to shoot in tight
00:27:50.980 to make it look bigger
00:27:52.160 than it is.
00:27:53.060 Like if we stretch
00:27:54.100 maybe there's 40 people
00:27:55.540 in the room.
00:27:56.380 And this is the lady
00:27:57.220 who hired Corey to Nike
00:27:58.400 and has the extremely
00:27:59.780 expensive campaign team.
00:28:01.560 And they're able to get
00:28:02.680 into a pretentious
00:28:04.100 art gallery
00:28:04.860 somewhere in Vancouver
00:28:06.260 like 45 people
00:28:07.600 a few of which are in fact
00:28:09.220 her staff members
00:28:10.120 including Corey to Nike
00:28:11.260 who is there.
00:28:12.360 By the way
00:28:12.860 what kind of video
00:28:13.620 was that?
00:28:14.180 I hate when politicians
00:28:15.300 do that.
00:28:15.920 This.
00:28:17.220 We have the best trees.
00:28:20.180 We have the best people.
00:28:23.220 We have the best water.
00:28:25.240 And people would kill
00:28:26.280 for stuff like that.
00:28:27.220 We're a great province.
00:28:28.680 Like what is this?
00:28:29.920 What are the problems?
00:28:31.020 How are you going
00:28:31.420 to fix them?
00:28:32.180 Show you can take
00:28:32.880 something head on
00:28:33.640 without your team
00:28:34.800 of advisors
00:28:35.560 and consultants
00:28:36.360 propping you up.
00:28:37.580 People editing your work
00:28:38.760 to be published
00:28:39.520 in the without
00:28:40.540 diminishment blog
00:28:41.680 which is effectively
00:28:43.040 a Caroline Elliott
00:28:43.880 friend group.
00:28:45.080 I know people like
00:28:45.940 Geoffrey Russ are
00:28:46.640 insecure about this.
00:28:48.060 The publication
00:28:48.800 without diminishment
00:28:49.560 is a Caroline Elliott
00:28:50.600 front group.
00:28:51.540 I was told
00:28:52.420 they were crowdfunded,
00:28:53.700 Wyatt.
00:28:54.020 Oh, it's all crowdfunded.
00:28:55.380 Who crowdfunds
00:28:56.220 a random blog?
00:28:57.800 Why is it?
00:28:58.400 No.
00:28:59.200 If I look at the crowd
00:29:00.600 who funds it
00:29:01.260 it's Caroline Elliott's
00:29:02.500 friends.
00:29:03.200 That's all
00:29:03.640 without diminishment is.
00:29:05.500 Caroline Elliott
00:29:06.040 is a product.
00:29:06.960 That is it.
00:29:08.920 Particularly a fairly
00:29:10.160 uncomfortable looking
00:29:11.080 product by the looks
00:29:12.400 of it when you
00:29:12.880 actually see her speak.
00:29:14.100 She's not exactly
00:29:15.100 like setting the world
00:29:16.320 on fire with her
00:29:17.120 oratory skills here.
00:29:18.740 Nor do I think
00:29:19.480 she's actually fit
00:29:20.460 for a tough fight.
00:29:22.040 Her own team members
00:29:22.980 are the type of people
00:29:23.860 who have smeared
00:29:25.080 Dallas Brody.
00:29:26.320 One of her main
00:29:27.140 advisors is somebody
00:29:28.560 who accused
00:29:29.460 Dallas Brody
00:29:30.200 of mocking
00:29:30.880 victims of molestation
00:29:32.300 back when John Rustad
00:29:33.660 was kicking her out
00:29:34.340 because they're
00:29:35.060 a loyal foot soldier
00:29:36.280 and don't worry
00:29:37.200 they will smear
00:29:37.880 anyone they have to
00:29:38.960 if the party
00:29:39.800 desires it.
00:29:40.980 That is who works
00:29:41.800 for Caroline Elliott.
00:29:43.160 Smear artists
00:29:43.960 people who are just
00:29:45.180 bad at their jobs
00:29:46.220 in media
00:29:47.200 just crappy
00:29:49.080 hacky
00:29:50.140 red Tory advisors
00:29:51.980 like Corey Tanike
00:29:53.100 that is the Caroline
00:29:54.600 Elliott team.
00:29:55.760 If anyone tells you
00:29:56.440 no no
00:29:56.940 we're the hip
00:29:57.600 new right
00:29:58.300 no they're not.
00:30:00.140 They're not.
00:30:00.940 They are campaign
00:30:01.660 mercenaries
00:30:02.280 doing another shtick.
00:30:03.900 doing another
00:30:04.820 stupid vaudeville act
00:30:06.760 and this woman
00:30:07.700 can't even get
00:30:08.640 like 50 people
00:30:09.960 into a lower
00:30:11.620 mainland location
00:30:12.580 to hear her speak.
00:30:13.920 It's Vancouver.
00:30:15.260 The draw area
00:30:16.080 is incredible.
00:30:17.680 Dallas
00:30:18.100 when you had to have
00:30:19.320 people drive out
00:30:20.160 30 minutes
00:30:20.940 to show up
00:30:21.360 and hear her speak
00:30:22.440 got in
00:30:23.220 five times
00:30:24.620 six times
00:30:25.540 that amount of people
00:30:26.360 Caroline Elliott had
00:30:27.320 especially when you
00:30:28.360 remove all the
00:30:28.920 campaign consultants
00:30:29.700 from the room
00:30:30.240 who work for her.
00:30:31.700 What?
00:30:32.540 This is the lady
00:30:33.100 who's going to save
00:30:33.720 the BC Conservative
00:30:34.600 Party?
00:30:35.400 The woman
00:30:35.920 who helped
00:30:36.460 murder
00:30:36.900 the BC United
00:30:37.960 Party
00:30:38.380 alongside her
00:30:39.200 brother-in-law
00:30:39.820 Kevin Falcon?
00:30:41.140 No no no guys
00:30:41.960 pass her the car keys
00:30:43.600 now.
00:30:44.180 She's got this one.
00:30:45.680 Anyways this is
00:30:46.240 where my bias
00:30:46.980 is coming out.
00:30:48.000 Although this is
00:30:48.760 what I would be
00:30:49.220 saying regardless
00:30:49.920 of if I worked
00:30:50.460 for one BC or not
00:30:51.420 like again
00:30:51.920 full disclosure
00:30:52.760 I really don't
00:30:53.640 make much money.
00:30:54.740 I was made fun of
00:30:56.020 back when I was
00:30:56.820 a campaign manager
00:30:57.640 in the BC Conservatives
00:30:58.760 for making so little
00:30:59.700 because I thought
00:31:00.860 that was the whole point.
00:31:01.720 Take as little
00:31:02.860 as you need
00:31:03.660 you just take
00:31:04.900 what you need
00:31:05.500 and then let's
00:31:06.640 win the election
00:31:07.300 spending all the
00:31:08.200 other money on
00:31:08.680 advertisements.
00:31:09.720 But know why
00:31:10.540 it's a fool.
00:31:11.520 I should have been
00:31:12.280 acting like all the
00:31:13.180 other pimps in the
00:31:14.220 party and taking
00:31:15.360 $15,000,
00:31:16.840 $20,000,
00:31:18.300 $13,000 a month
00:31:20.060 plus expenses
00:31:21.160 to sit around
00:31:22.040 doing sweet
00:31:23.780 nothing.
00:31:24.740 Just nothing.
00:31:25.960 But anyways
00:31:26.760 that's why I'd also
00:31:27.800 encourage you guys
00:31:28.460 to donate to the
00:31:29.120 one BC party.
00:31:29.800 We don't spend
00:31:30.960 your money like
00:31:31.740 a bunch of
00:31:32.220 pimps.
00:31:32.980 We basically
00:31:33.620 save as much
00:31:34.880 of it as possible
00:31:35.620 and spend
00:31:36.500 everything else
00:31:37.180 trying to
00:31:38.020 basically generate
00:31:39.000 more income,
00:31:40.800 generate more
00:31:41.340 members,
00:31:42.260 generate more
00:31:42.780 name recognition.
00:31:44.020 If we are not
00:31:44.820 doing one of those
00:31:45.640 few things,
00:31:46.120 if we're not
00:31:46.540 bringing in more
00:31:47.240 fundraising dollars
00:31:48.020 than we're spending,
00:31:48.940 if we're not
00:31:49.440 gaining name
00:31:50.040 recognition,
00:31:50.940 if we're not
00:31:51.340 growing social
00:31:51.980 media assets,
00:31:53.220 growing the
00:31:53.640 membership,
00:31:54.460 then it is
00:31:55.100 worthless spending
00:31:56.020 and that's what
00:31:56.900 we are avoiding.
00:31:58.400 But anyways,
00:31:59.240 that should be it
00:31:59.920 for me today
00:32:00.800 in this video guys.
