00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I'm on the ground right now in British Columbia helping the 1BC
00:00:06.280party in the provincial election, and to explain to you specifically why I'm with 1BC and not the
00:00:13.020BC Conservatives, I need to show you a video that dropped this morning of the BC Conservative Party
00:00:19.160leader throwing one of his own MLAs under the bus for saying something socially conservative.
00:00:25.940Yes, the party is called the BC Conservatives, but it's basically just a rebranded version of the BC Liberals.
00:00:33.000They have a new name and a new paint job, but pretty much all the candidates are Liberals.
00:00:38.480Yes, there's still a few good people over there, but they are being drowned out by the majority Liberal faction at this point.
00:00:44.860And so I want to show you first a post from the NDP and then this interview clip to prove my point that if you have a 1 BC candidate in your riding,
00:00:54.220you have to vote for them because the Conservatives cannot be trusted.
00:00:59.140Check out this post that came out just 44 minutes ago from the BC NDP.
00:01:05.500Breaking, David Eby calls out Dirksen's decision to approve extremist candidates like Maas and Kindy.
00:01:12.540So that's, of course, BC Premier David Eby attacking Lauren Dirksen, the BC Conservative leader,
00:01:18.000for having allowed Anna Kindy and Heather Maas to still run for the party.
00:01:22.360Now, these two people are actually sitting conservative MLAs. They are some of the more
00:01:28.300real conservative candidates, which is why we deliberately did not run people against them
00:01:33.280in their ridings of North Island for Anakindi or Chilliwack North for Heather Maas. And the NDP
00:01:40.700is smelling blood in the water on Lorne Dirksen because he refused to get rid of them after
00:01:46.500clips of them surfaced saying conservative things. This should be a really easy attack to defend
00:01:54.220against. But the reason the NDP is pushing this attack line right now is because Lauren Dirksen0.72
00:02:00.760is so weak, he refuses to defend his MLAs. So Anna Kindy, a clip of her came out after the
00:02:08.200Freedom Convoy, I believe, where she was speaking at a rally in front of the BC legislature,
00:02:12.880condemning the vaccine mandates and talking about the dangers of pushing these medical
00:02:18.460treatments on people who could have adverse effects. I think a perfectly rational and very
00:02:23.840moderate approach on the issue. The other thing with Heather Maas was that she was on a podcast
00:02:29.280where she had said that SOGI123, the sexual orientation and gender identity programming in1.00
00:02:35.880schools is grooming kids, which is absolutely true. When you actually look at the content1.00
00:02:42.940that falls below the Soji 123 banner, it's disgusting. It is absolutely trying to normalize
00:02:51.680sexual behavior to young children. And Lauren Dirksen went on CTV News with Vashi Kapelos
00:02:59.480and for over three minutes refused to defend Heather.0.79
00:03:04.080Never actually, even eventually defended her, just never defended her.
00:03:08.360Dodged like he was in the Matrix for three and a half minutes,
00:03:12.460refusing to stand by his own MLA, taking a sensible position on Soji-123.
00:03:18.320Check out this clip with this video of Vashi Kapelos grilling him
00:03:23.580over something he should absolutely be pushing back on.
00:03:26.400You have said over the past few weeks that you are in favor of same-sex marriage.
00:03:30.620The NDP is flagging a video on social media with one of your candidates, Heather Moss,
00:03:35.620in which she is describing material involving boys and same-sex relationships as grooming and conflating the two concepts.
00:03:41.520She's also the MLA who hosted back in 2025 at the legislature a reception for a group called the Association for Reform Political Action,
00:03:48.920which is an organization which believes homosexuality is immoral, abortion should be criminalized, and conversion therapy bans should be reversed.
00:03:55.420she said at the time that there were many views in that organization that align with the views
00:03:58.920of the BC Conservative Party. Is that acceptable to you? And will she remain a candidate?
00:04:03.780Now, I need to stop it there before we get to Lauren's non-defense of Heather Maas.
00:04:08.720No, that is not what she actually said. Vashi Kapalos and CTV News, the rest of the media and
00:04:15.200the NDP are twisting the entire thing that she said out of context. I'll bring up the clip in
00:04:20.940just a second here, but Heather Maas was basically saying they're depicting effectively X-rated
00:04:26.240content involving characters who are not even supposed to be adults engaging in indecent acts,
00:04:34.380and this is being put in libraries and classrooms where children who sometimes aren't even tweens
00:04:40.860yet can access it and look at it. That is absolutely kind of groomer culture, the idea
00:04:47.320that children need to be used to this type of content and get used to looking at sort of
00:04:51.820hyper-sexualized images and cartoons and videos. Like, no, no, no. Only a bad actor would think
00:04:59.580that this stuff needs to be seen by a child. You're obviously trying to reduce barriers to them
00:05:05.020seeing, you know, sex as anything but casual. It's not casual. And a 10-year-old should not
00:05:11.740be indoctrinated into the idea that these are just, it's like a decision on if I want to go
00:05:15.840swimming or surfing or skiing or snowboarding, if I wanted to play, you know, play video games or
00:05:21.240build a puzzle. No, it's not. And this is what content like that does over time. I want to bring
00:05:27.680up the video here before we get over to Lauren Dirksen, just so you understand what we're talking
00:05:32.440about here and what they're trying to depict as like a homophobic statement of some kind.
00:05:38.220And here is her. This is actually a video posted by the NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert.
00:05:48.180This was apparently scandalous that Heather Moss said this on Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson's show alongside Chilliwack School Board Trustee, or former Chilliwack School Board Trustee, Barry Neufeld.
00:05:58.860And this is not just sex education that's gone too far. This is way over the top.
00:06:05.340This is, you said maybe grooming. It's for sure grooming. It desensitizes kids. And it's all under the name of LGBTQ because it's boy on boy. And I'm talking boy, young boys depicted in these stories. But things that I never even heard of. So it's bad. And so the policies is kind of where I'm at, trying to sort that out.
00:06:31.520so you see what she's saying there what she's saying there is that they are slipping this sort0.73
00:06:37.080of depraved content into schools under the banner that it's lgbtq if anything she's actually saying
00:06:44.340she's not making a homophobic statement at all she is saying that they are using that as the
00:06:49.120justification for why kids should see it because kids need to be able to be true to themselves and
00:06:54.280that we need to display all sorts of orientations for kids in the classroom and her point is that
00:06:59.720you're showing X-rated content using the false justification of tolerance to do so. She's making
00:07:06.940a very rational and very moderate point. The radicals are people like Spencer Chandra Herbert,
00:07:13.180the NDP, the media, and Lauren Dirksen himself, who thinks that Heather Moss said something wrong.
00:07:18.700So let's now get back to the CTV News clip. It's wild that after you've seen that and the way
00:07:25.600Vashti Capellas presents it, Lauren Jerk's refusing to defend her.
00:07:30.480We've had certainly some pretty robust conversations on a number of different subjects.
00:07:36.320The fact is that we are going to bring people from all over British Columbia to represent,
00:07:41.920and there will be obviously robust conversations that come forward on definitely topics such as
00:07:48.540this. And what I would say is that we are obviously encouraged, and I am committed
00:07:53.740to making sure that people are treated with respect in this province and certainly that we
00:07:59.840provide safe spaces for all of our children, our residents. That's an absolute commitment from me.
00:08:06.580So his answer to that, not defending Heather Moss, not defending her stance on SOGI 123,
00:08:13.660which is absolutely rational, not defending her against people trying to twist her words in the
00:08:18.540context in which she said them. He immediately jumps into safe spaces and tolerance, and we need
00:08:25.180to be nice to each other. No, they're not being nice to Heather Moss. Defend her. They're smearing0.74
00:08:30.600her reputation right now, and you're going to take the bait and act as if their telling of things was
00:08:37.320accurate? Guys, the tape of Heather Moss had been going around for over several hours, at least at
00:08:44.060that point, if not a day, the fact that they couldn't come up with a comms strategy of explaining
00:08:49.960what she had said means that they don't care. They're just going to abandon her. Like, goodness,
00:08:54.900after this election, Heather should just consider crossing the floor and sending it as a 1BC MLA1.00
00:08:59.520because her own people seem to think that she's a speed bump, not another elected official.
00:09:04.640Well, let's get back to the CTV News clip. So respectfully, Mr. Dirksen, I have to challenge
00:09:10.500you you didn't answer the substance of the question which is around whether or why she would remain a
00:09:14.980candidate if she espoused those views doesn't that run exactly contrary to what you just spelled out
00:09:19.140with respect to safe space well i think that the ndp obviously is digging up a number of things
00:09:25.780that have been canvassed from the past i i think that we have contemplated much since and i think
00:09:31.220there have been such a weak weak response because what he's effectively saying is oh yes what she
00:09:38.020did say was really bad but you have to remember this was years ago i believe this is only like
00:09:43.1402022 or 2023 or whatever and again i don't care if it was a long time ago or it happened yesterday
00:09:50.980she's correct and this isn't like some sort of like truth that people don't like to hear
00:09:57.780this is something that the vast majority of british colombians agree with especially people
00:10:03.780from like minority communities who are very much not part of the woke movement you're not going to
00:10:09.620have a lot of chinese british colombians or indian british colombians saying well no no it's good0.98
00:10:15.380that he's gonna commit to safe spaces and all this stuff they want the soji stuff scrapped entirely
00:10:21.220but acting as if oh that was that video was from an archaic time and we have had discussions since
00:10:26.020then really we're gonna act like she's having some medieval perspective here to not show pornography
00:10:32.260to children that's her medieval perspective that we have evolved from by having discussions in our0.98
00:10:38.500safe space caucus like this guy's absolutely pathetic he's not even in charge of the party0.97
00:10:43.420the people in charge of the party are like christy clark peter millibar and all the other people0.97
00:10:48.860involved in the coup against carrie lynn finley to remove her as legitimately elected leader of
00:10:53.920the bc conservative party obviously as i just indicated robust conversations about these types
00:11:01.200of issues in in our caucus room and certainly i am committed to making sure that we bring forward
00:11:09.040safe spaces for all of our children and a respectful conversation going forward is that view
00:11:16.240that she has espoused no matter how far back it goes and i understand your point about the ndp
00:11:20.800but that's what happens in an election parties dig up stuff on on each other is her view acceptable
00:11:26.720to you. And I ask on behalf of people who are wondering about where your party stands. I know
00:11:31.380you've made your view clear, but does that, you know, there's still confusion about where other
00:11:36.480members, including her, stand. He's such a moron. He keeps taking the bait. What Vashie Capellas,1.00
00:11:44.180what the NDP and the rest of the media have been portraying as Heather Maas's position,0.99
00:11:50.080saying that she is, you know, attacking gay people in some way is ridiculous. No, she said that that0.97
00:11:55.700was the packaging to trying to show lewd content to children saying, well, I need to show you this
00:12:01.160X, this, I need to have this X-rated content available in classrooms and libraries because0.96
00:12:06.140LGBT, that's what Heather was saying, that they are using that as an excuse to shove lewd content1.00
00:12:12.660into the classroom. And Lauren is about to say right here, he doesn't agree with her. Oh, I
00:12:17.520disagree with her views. On what? What part do you actually disagree with? Now, he actually probably
00:12:23.260does disagree with her because he's a massive liberal but if you were an actual conservative
00:12:28.020what could you possibly disagree with yeah I don't uh I don't share that view of course and I
00:12:35.480I would be clear in saying that uh I believe that our caucus is is absolutely committed to putting
00:12:43.280forth uh you know our thoughts on this subject with respect to safety and respect I how can you
00:12:49.940that with respect with her in the caucus well i think that there will obviously be conversations
00:12:57.060that will occur in our caucus room particularly with individual members that i hope that we will
00:13:05.140be able to arrive at a place where we all agree to go forward with you know plans and and certainly
00:13:12.180legislation and other things that will reflect a unified thought on all of these topics
00:13:19.940If you've been following the election so far, in the early days,
00:13:25.260Lorne Dirksen had said, I don't want to talk about SOGI-123 in this election.
00:13:34.140And now, because of some pushback on something sensible,
00:13:37.160Heather Moss has said he's now back to, well, hopefully in the coming days,
00:13:40.720we're going to have discussions and we're going to have a unified position on things
00:13:44.140and legislation is in there or whatever.0.91
00:13:46.680And it's like, guys, do you think these people are going to get rid of Soji, let alone DRIPA? They're going to cut your taxes. They're going to stand up to the unions. They're going to do anything like that. Not a chance. This man's an absolute wet sandwich of a conservative party leader. He's like Andrew Wilkinson or Kevin Falcon all over again.
00:14:06.760He looks like he should be baking cookies in a tree somewhere, not taking on all the big issues that are plaguing British Columbia right now.
00:14:15.080I am just disgusted by the way BC politics has been going.
00:14:20.300That's why 1BC exists, because people should be able to vote for politicians who believe in common sense positions on policy.
00:14:27.260You shouldn't be stuck voting for the NDP or the party who's going to have their MLAs probably eventually cross the floor to the NDP anyways.
00:14:35.500Hilariously enough, the BC Conservative Party candidate in the riding of Penticton Summerlands, Tracy St. Clair, she took over for Amelia Boltby, who, remember, she was the previous Conservative Party MLA who crossed the NDP.
00:14:50.260Tracy St. Clair in the 2024 election ran as an independent after previously being the BC United Party candidate before BC United folded, which was the renamed Liberal Party.
00:15:00.860She ran in 2024, citing that Amelia Boltby and the Conservative Party were two right wing.
00:15:05.760So Amelia and the Conservative Party, you know, the MLA who crossed the MVP, she was two right wing for Tracy St. Clair.
00:15:12.740And now the Conservative Party is running Tracy St. Clair, who, by the way, was on the Modern Treaties Commission.
00:15:19.720So, yeah, she's not doing crap about DRIPA because she has been part of the system to give away money, land, and power.
00:15:27.740This is constant with the Conservatives.
00:15:30.120Former Green candidates and former federal liberals are running for the BC Conservative Party.
00:15:36.120There's even a guy who is the Conservative candidate in Vancouver Langara, Jamie Stein.
00:15:42.740who helped campaign for the NDP candidate in the 2024 election in the same riding.
00:15:48.340He's literally running against the NDP despite having campaigned for them two years ago.
00:16:01.880So yes, 1BC right now, we have 38 candidates on the ballot across the province.
00:16:07.120There are some issues with elections in BC we're having to deal with.
00:16:10.640But I would urge you, if you are in a riding with a 1BC candidate, vote for them.
00:16:16.320Because, goodness, you have to have dignity as a voter and being forced into voting for a party that's maybe a few percentage points better than the NDP when it comes to how they're going to handle a government.
