Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.380
I think I've picked up on a story that's going to become very awkward for Mark Carney's liberals
00:00:11.600
going into the upcoming by-elections this year. If you don't already know, the United States and
00:00:17.880
Israel have been hammering the Islamic regime in Iran over the past couple of days, and Prime
00:00:23.580
Minister Mark Carney actually put out a pretty good statement on the matter, thanking Trump for
00:00:28.680
leading the strikes and hoping the Iranian people are free of the regime. The problem for Mark Carney
00:00:34.740
is one of the candidates that he is running in the upcoming by-elections is Dolly Begum. This is the
00:00:41.640
woman who is going to try and replace outgoing Liberal MP Bill Blair. She is a current sitting
00:00:47.540
NDP MPP in Ontario in the same general area, and she is obviously pro-terror. Now, this is not a great
00:00:57.260
look right after Mark Carney is backing the Iranian regime falling. You know, that's a good thing for
00:01:03.420
him to do, but it shows the strange conflict inside the Liberal Party when it's obviously the right
00:01:10.200
thing to do to back Donald Trump striking the Islamic regime in Iran. He will do it. At the same time,
00:01:16.940
he was already running someone to try and appeal to the soft on Hamas crowd, and so I think these two
00:01:23.620
factions are going to come into conflict with each other pretty aggressively, hurting the Liberals
00:01:28.540
either with the Persian community if they don't get rid of Dolly, or it's going to hurt them with
00:01:33.900
the more fundamental Islamic community in Canada if they do get rid of her. I don't think the Liberal
00:01:40.120
Party is going to be smart enough to do anything about this, and they're just going to let this
00:01:43.480
contradiction hang, but this is going to hurt the Liberals with key voting blocs. I just want to get to
00:01:49.020
this video of Dolly Begum being introduced by another Ontario Liberal MP, and then I want to
00:01:56.080
sort of get into some of the background of the posts that Dolly has made over time. But before I
00:02:00.820
get into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on this
00:02:05.540
video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, leave a comment about what you think about all this,
00:02:11.120
and if you want to help financially support the show, consider hitting the join button below the
00:02:15.160
video. Later on this video, I also want to just talk briefly about the event I was just at in
00:02:20.800
Vancouver for the 1BC party with 1BC leader Dallas Brody and Billboard Chris. It was fantastic, but
00:02:27.020
that will be talked about a bit later. So here we go. We have here, we have the MP Seema Akan
00:02:34.860
introducing Dolly Begum, and this again is something I predict is going to get a little bit awkward
00:02:40.980
over time for the Liberals. Hi, I'm Seema Akan, Member of Parliament for Oakville West. It is my pleasure
00:02:47.500
to be here again with my friend Dolly Begum, who is running to be your Member of Parliament for the
00:02:53.440
upcoming by-election for Scarborough Southwest. I'm so excited for this wonderful, wonderful
00:02:59.640
opportunity to represent the good people of Scarborough Southwest at the federal level, and thank you,
00:03:04.620
Seema, for being here. We're going to knock on doors, let the neighbours know, and of course, come out
00:03:08.940
and support. Thank you so much. Now, what the Liberals are doing here by running Dolly Begum,
00:03:14.820
because it's a safe Liberal seat. They could run anyone. They didn't really need to bring in a ringer
00:03:19.640
in terms of somebody who is already like a city councillor or a member of provincial parliament.
00:03:24.680
They could have picked some random person, put a Liberal label on them, run them in Scarborough,
00:03:29.400
and they would have pretty easily won. I don't think Scarborough has been won by any party but the
00:03:34.520
Liberals in the past 30 or 40 years, and if it was ever won by somebody else, it was probably the NDP
00:03:39.940
in 2011. I'm not even sure if the NDP won that riding in 2011. That's how Liberal Scarborough ends
00:03:45.920
up, but it is these days. But the thing is that they're trying to appeal to like the obviously more
00:03:52.780
pro-Palestine NDP voters by bringing Dolly Begum over, but the thing is that Dolly Begum very clearly
00:04:00.240
cannot actually model the sort of insane rhetoric that NDP politicians are using because now she's
00:04:05.280
becoming a Liberal politician, but at the same time everyone can see the previous post she had
00:04:09.860
been making. So we have this weird walking contradiction here where the Liberals want that
00:04:15.700
progressive Palestinian base, but they also can't have her talk about anything related to that issue
00:04:22.780
because it will obviously turn off every other voter who doesn't want crazy people who can't condemn
00:04:28.160
terrorist organizations in parliament. So I just want to pull this up now. So I just did a crock
00:04:35.000
search on AI just going over all of Dolly Begum's posts when relating to condemning Israel and the
00:04:41.460
United States for strikes in the Middle East or just for any activity in the Middle East and how often
00:04:46.300
she has ever condemned a, you know, terror group. And so she's actually stopped posting on X since like
00:04:54.140
mid 2025. So I ended up having to expand it to Facebook as well, where she's continued posting.
00:04:59.980
And when I went through them all, we had a result of seven to one, her condemning Israel and the United
00:05:07.840
States in the Middle East and one post of her condemning a terror attack. But that terror attack
00:05:12.780
post didn't even really count because it was the Montreal mosque attack, which everyone condemned. And it's
00:05:18.400
not really in the same ballpark as her condemning Israel and the United States for striking terror
00:05:24.220
groups and her not being able to condemn those same terror groups. Now going through her posts, I think
00:05:30.120
after October 7th, she might've put out a soft statement, tutting Hamas for killing a bunch of
00:05:35.940
people. But she obviously paired that up with, oh my goodness, Israel has killed 30,000 people in Gaza.
00:05:42.080
And by the way, she was just lying because she was posting this like five days afterwards when no one had
00:05:46.080
actually died yet. She is a big liar on this issue. And she will just spread propaganda whenever it
00:05:51.540
suits her, putting out all of these insane posts, claiming that Israel is just murdering hundreds
00:05:56.560
of journalists in Gaza, which has just been like debunked multiple times, but she's never deleted
00:06:01.560
the stuff. If you just post Iran in her search bar on Facebook, because you can go into a specific
00:06:08.840
person's page and then just search every time they've used this particular word. She has never condemned
00:06:14.180
Iran. She has never condemned Hezbollah. She has never explicitly condemned Hamas, never condemned
00:06:19.460
the Houthis. She has never condemned a Middle Eastern terror group. But if you put in the word
00:06:24.620
Israel, she is always just spurging about Israel, freaking out that they exist and they don't want
00:06:30.820
to die. It's just insane as you go through it. You know, September 25 here, March 2025, you have October
00:06:38.820
2025, May 2025. She's literally wasting time in the Ontario legislature talking about this stuff.
00:06:45.220
It's provincial politics. It keeps going through. This is guys, it just keeps going and going. It's
00:06:51.080
going to keep starting trying to load more here. But yeah, she frequently name checks Israel all the
00:06:57.380
time. Now, some of the stuff is getting into some other stuff, but it's other people celebrating her for
00:07:02.180
making these statements. Yeah, so they are very much running a radical inside the Liberal Party, but
00:07:08.360
Mark Carney doesn't care. He wants to eat up that progressive pro-Hamas NDP base by running one of
00:07:14.340
the NDP's politicians as his own, at the same time that he's also putting out statements congratulating
00:07:20.920
Donald Trump for what he's done. And I think Donald Trump does deserve to be congratulated for all this.
00:07:26.860
I want to actually just jump into the sort of things that NDP politicians are posting right now
00:07:31.740
to show you kind of the thing that I guess has become normal on the left. So let's just first
00:07:38.060
start off with the statement that Mark Carney released. I don't need to get into the one that
00:07:42.480
Polly have put out just just not really the point of this video. But here we have Mark Carney posting
00:07:48.140
this on a call like a couple days ago or yesterday. I always forget February only has 28 days. He says
00:07:53.900
here my statement on Iran related hostilities in the Middle East. This is all very funny too, after we
00:08:00.120
remember his Davos speech where he talked about Canada needing to rely on ally with more middle
00:08:05.260
powers and Canada's relationship with the U.S. is gone and we want to be outside of the big power
00:08:10.200
world conflicts and whatnot. But every but he always is dragged back and has to say nice things about
00:08:15.460
Trump because Trump's objectively doing a lot of good stuff. But here it says the Canadian government
00:08:21.560
is closely following Iran related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians
00:08:26.200
in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all
00:08:30.940
necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal
00:08:35.940
source of the instability and terror throughout the Middle East as one of the world's worst human
00:08:40.340
rights records and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada's international
00:08:45.600
partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including
00:08:50.400
at the 2025 G7 Leaders Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations reposition of sanctions in
00:09:02.120
September. It goes on and just keeps basically talking about, you know, Mark Carney's view of all
00:09:06.960
this. Yes, it's all very hypocritical that he's posting about this now, but still it's a good
00:09:12.380
statement. But this is the sort of things that like NDP politicians are posting. And I'm doing this
00:09:19.240
to demonstrate what the liberals wanted with Dolly Begum. But the problem is now that the Islamic regime
00:09:26.120
is in the forefront of the headlines and they've been killing tens of thousands of people and Trump
00:09:31.320
finally did something about it and the liberals had to congratulate them. It's now looking awkward
00:09:36.100
that they have Dolly Begum with them because she only made sense as a candidate before all those people
00:09:40.760
died in Iran and before Trump ended up stepping up, doing something about it and getting all this credit.
00:09:46.020
It's basically destroyed a few different liberal narratives all at the same time of how they
00:09:51.420
thought politics was going to be in this country. But here is NDP Premier in British Columbia, David
00:09:57.160
Eby, and he says,
00:09:58.520
as we watch out a war unleashed on Iran, we pray that innocent civilians are protected. My thoughts
00:10:05.360
are with Iranian families who suffer under the tyranny of a brutal dictatorship and now face the
00:10:10.320
horrors of war. British Columbians, Iranian community is strong. We stand with them in solidarity and shared
00:10:15.760
hope for peace, freedom and safety for their families and friends. But what a pathetic thing to start your
00:10:19.760
statement out with. We watch war unleashed on Iran. War was not unleashed on Iran. They subjected
00:10:26.600
themselves to a conflict because they have been murdering their own people and trying to develop
00:10:31.960
nuclear weapons and funding terrorists, not only all over the Middle East, but all over the world.
00:10:37.320
The IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, that's like the main insulating military force in Iran
00:10:43.160
for the regime, is literally involved in narco-terrorism around the world as well. But he has
00:10:48.320
to say, when war is unleashed on Iran, oh my goodness, but that's the mildest one because
00:10:54.560
obviously he's the Premier of British Columbia, so he has to remain somewhat respectable. But we have
00:11:02.080
federal NDP leader Don Davies, the interim leader, who says, imagine how we would feel if this happened
00:11:08.400
in a Canadian community. And it's over this headline says breaking 51 Iranian children killed 60 students
00:11:14.340
wounded after joint U.S.-Israel strike hit girls school in Iran. Now, maybe that's true. Maybe
00:11:21.120
that's not. We tend to get a lot of fake news headlines that come out. That's not the fault of
00:11:26.320
Western powers for having to strike back at a terror regime and potentially they hit the wrong target.
00:11:32.440
But the thing is that Don Davies doesn't actually care about like, you know, logical consistency.
00:11:37.360
He just cares about attacking the West consistently. So here we have Don Davies also saying Trump's
00:11:44.580
attack on Iran violates U.N. rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values
00:11:50.240
Prime Minister Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence and destruction over
00:11:56.580
dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised or support. Well, he wasn't really
00:12:02.340
saying all that much when they were literally mowing down protesters in the streets of Tehran and other
00:12:07.020
cities. He's just such a hack. Here's Heather McPherson, a sitting NDP MP who's also running for the
00:12:13.700
leadership and in the top two people likely to become the new leader of the NDP. She says today's
00:12:19.280
attack on Iran by the United States and Israel is a serious violation of international law. By the way,
00:12:24.440
international law does not mean anything. International law is like basically a bunch of leftist
00:12:31.200
like academics sitting around a round table in fancy offices in New York, making just random
00:12:38.420
hippie declarations about how much they love love and peace. But they only ever actually attack Western
00:12:43.600
powers for ever violating international law. They pass like no sanctions, no condemnations of like North
00:12:50.100
Korea or any of those actually insane regimes around the planet. They mostly just go out to the United States,
00:12:55.080
Israel. And every once in a while, they're like forced to say something about like Bashar al-Assad
00:13:01.200
when he was still around or the Iranian regime. They'd have like one every century maybe they put
00:13:05.900
out against them. She goes on to say, the repressive Iranian regime is a dictatorship that murders and
00:13:14.020
brutalize the Iranian people. But an illegal and unjustified war driven by Trump and Netanyahu will bring
00:13:19.100
more civilian death and regional chaos. Already dozens of Iranian schoolgirls were killed in a horrific
00:13:23.840
attack on a school. This is outrageous. My thoughts are the people throughout the region who are terrified and
00:13:28.620
whose lives and future futures should not be decided by warmongers who have no regard for human life. My heart is
00:13:34.500
also with the Iranian Canadians and everyone terrified for the safety of their families and friends in the region.
00:13:39.960
Canada must unequivocally condemn these grave breaches of international law. Yeah, like even she's even being
00:13:46.760
attacked immediately by like the former Green Party leader in in British Columbia, Andrew Weaver says, sorry,
00:13:53.720
Heather, I defended you on your last post, but this one is utterly outrageous. I would suggest you and
00:13:58.620
the NDP should be ashamed of yourselves. And tons of people from the Iranian community are coming out
00:14:03.140
to basically tell people like this to shut up because they have no clue what Iranian people actually
00:14:08.160
think about all this. They're very happy. The Ayatollah and a lot of his top regime heads are dead.
00:14:14.100
They're happy about it because guess what? They're horrible, evil people. We have Avi Lewis here,
00:14:19.540
who is considered the front runner for the NDP leadership says, Mark Carney called for a new
00:14:24.400
order at Davos that respects human rights, sovereignty and territorial integrity. But
00:14:29.080
his government's new approach to India and its unconditional embrace of its authoritarian Prime
00:14:34.020
Minister Modi shows just how hollow the declaration really is. I'm going to get to his Israel post
00:14:38.140
later, but this is also something he's freaking out about. Prime Minister Carney has justified this
00:14:42.940
shift by claiming there's no longer a link between India and violent crime in Canada. But that claim
00:14:47.580
flies in the face of evidence from our own law enforcement. Just days before Carney's India
00:14:54.000
visit, police warned the head of the Sikh Federation of Canada about a credible death threat.
00:14:57.900
The RCMP have previously linked the Indian government to the assassination of a Canadian
00:15:02.480
and warned about the threats on lives of other Canadian Sikhs, including our party's former leader
00:15:07.380
Jagmeet Singh. Guess what? It probably had nothing to do with the Indian government. Do you think
00:15:12.340
that the Indian government is stupid enough to go after random two bit politicians like Jagmeet Singh?
00:15:18.600
No, it's foolish. They're not doing that. Can I find Avi? I had to find Avi Lewis's Israel post. It was
00:15:26.620
really pathetic. But you got all these other leftists out there, like Eve Angler and Paul Champ and all
00:15:32.040
these other people like Laura Babcock, really mad at Trump, you know, wanting there to be freedom in
00:15:38.200
Iran for people, wanting there not to be nuclear weapons for a fundamentalist Islamic regime.
00:15:44.960
Here we have Avi Lewis saying, the images coming out of Iran are already unbearable.
00:15:51.960
Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people with scores of killed
00:15:56.820
around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.
00:16:01.520
The United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war, while Donald Trump and Benjamin
00:16:05.420
Netanyahu speak openly of regime change. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports.
00:16:10.440
He has issued a statement so bracingly belligerent that even conservatives like Jason Kenney are
00:16:14.760
cheering it on. Good. Jason Kenney is right. By the way, Mark Carney is right for this. That doesn't
00:16:20.220
mean I don't think Mark Carney is a fool. The fact that he was basically saying the opposite of all this
00:16:24.780
right before the strikes happened is demonstrating how much of a flip-flopper Carney is. He's only changing
00:16:30.180
his tune now because his previous tune was not sustainable. You can't keep attacking the
00:16:35.060
U.S. while Donald Trump is going around the world collecting Ws and actually doing good things for
00:16:39.920
humanity. You look like a giant crank sitting around just being like, oh my goodness, there
00:16:44.480
was explosions in Tehran. Oh wow, you don't like the images of explosions happening during a war?
00:16:49.700
Well, boo-hoo. Guess what? You didn't say anything when there were people just being mowed down in the
00:16:54.340
streets of Tehran and literally about 20-30,000 people were killed by small arm fire by their own
00:17:00.060
government. You didn't say anything about that. But now that there were a little bit of potential
00:17:04.340
misfire happening in a war, you're now going to get mad about it? You're just a hypocrite. And so
00:17:10.960
this is really the NDP's play, trying to be more radical on foreign policy than the liberals.
00:17:16.360
I'm not sure if it's going to work. The only way it could work is by basically backing Carney into a
00:17:23.040
corner and forcing him to make a very stupid retraction. I don't think Carney should do it. I'm a
00:17:28.300
conservative. I'd love him to screw this whole thing up. Carney could do it. Dolly Begum running
00:17:33.280
as a candidate is already a really good way of screwing it all up. Because Carney wants it both
00:17:37.720
ways as I'm getting back to. He wants the progressive NDP's pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas base.
00:17:43.940
But he also wants the kind of respectable Persian and Jewish communities to like him too. And you can't
00:17:51.180
have both. And he's trying to have both, which actually might mean that Carney ends up with neither of
00:17:56.320
them, that all the Persians and Jewish Canadians, obviously there's tons of Jewish Canadians who
00:18:01.400
can be really insane and vote for progressive causes and vote for progressive politicians who
00:18:06.480
hate Israel and spread anti-Semitism. But I'm not talking about them. They're like the fringe of the
00:18:10.840
community. But with like Carney trying to like basically both support Trump at the same time,
00:18:17.540
he's constantly slagging him. And now he's running this pro-terror candidate. I think there actually is
00:18:22.480
a strange possibility where the insane statements of Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis, and other NDP
00:18:28.480
politicians and activists are actually going to push some votes from the Liberals over to the NDP.
00:18:34.940
At the same time, the Liberals are going to push votes over to the Conservatives because of the
00:18:39.780
contradictory positions the Liberals keep taking on foreign policy issues. Anyways, so now I just want
00:18:46.240
to talk about the one BC event that we had in Vancouver. It was fantastic. Actually smaller than I
00:18:52.660
expected, but it just demonstrates how big this event truly was. We thought we could get more than 600
00:18:58.080
people. And I think we ended up getting over 400. But I think it just demonstrates when you have an event
00:19:03.840
where you want 600 people to show up, you got to register like 800 people because some people just don't
00:19:08.700
end up actually coming, even though they said they would. But this is the crowd that we had in the
00:19:14.640
Hellenic Centre in Vancouver. It's an absolutely insane crowd that came out for one BC leader Dallas
00:19:21.120
Brody and Billboard Chris. And this is happening at the same time the BC Conservatives are having their
00:19:27.160
leadership election, where the closest crowd that got to this size was Carrie Lynn Finley, who in Surrey,
00:19:33.820
I think maybe had 150 to 180 people come out for her. And we had over 400. Caroline Elliott,
00:19:40.500
Ian Black, Daryl Jones, all these other candidates running for the BC Conservative leadership race.
00:19:45.940
I'm not even kidding. Get out 18 people. They will maybe punch towards 40 if they do a lot of hard
00:19:53.180
charging to get people to show up to one of their events. This is my point about BC politics. People
00:19:58.940
always talk about like, well, you can't split the vote. You got to join with the Conservatives. It's the
00:20:04.780
only way of beating the MVP. In 2024, there was no right wing alternative party. I was helping the BC
00:20:12.300
Conservatives. Everyone was helping the BC Conservatives. And they still lost because they
00:20:17.000
don't have killer instinct to win. They weren't running on a platform full of all the things that
00:20:21.960
people wanted. It was like bargaining with people. How little can we get you to maybe show up to the
00:20:26.540
polls? And it didn't work. And they're getting worse. Trevor Halford, the current interim leader of the
00:20:32.540
BC Conservatives is more liberal than John Rustad was. And the current front runners for the BC
00:20:38.760
Conservative leadership are all the old recycled BC United, BC Liberal politicians. It's insane.
00:20:45.300
And you'll see people say, oh, but no, no, they're super conservative now. I've seen them write a
00:20:49.820
couple blog posts, clearly probably written by another person. And they're saying they'll get rid
00:20:54.360
of DRIPA and Soji and all this other stuff, even though if you actually confront them about it in
00:20:58.560
person, like I've heard many people have with Caroline Elliott and others, they get very
00:21:02.300
awkward and they don't actually know what to say to somebody when they're saying how, so you're
00:21:06.640
going to fully get rid of Soji and you're not going to replace them with anything else. Or you're going
00:21:10.400
to get rid of DRIPA and will you defund the reconciliation industry? Will you get rid of all
00:21:15.000
of the stupid funding that goes to these Aboriginal industry nonprofit groups? And it gets awkward
00:21:21.280
because she doesn't actually know what her position is on all these things. That's why parties come up as
00:21:27.540
quickly as one BC has. We're anywhere between six and nine percent right now, probably rising since
00:21:33.100
our big tours we've been going on. But the reason that a small party gains vote that fast is because
00:21:39.440
they are filling a niche no one else will want to fill. Any day, the BC Conservatives could step in
00:21:44.480
and eat the lunch of one BC. They don't want to because they're not conservative. It genuinely does
00:21:49.640
not occur to them to do any of that because they don't like being conservative. They are not
00:21:53.700
conservative. These are BC United politicians who ended up jumping on board the Conservatives to save
00:21:59.560
their careers because either they were incumbents who were going to lose or they were BC United
00:22:04.620
candidates in the 24 election who then jumped over onto the BC Conservative ticket after Caroline
00:22:10.260
Elliott and John Rustad signed a deal with Kevin Falcon to merge the parties. Caroline Elliott,
00:22:16.160
who's again one of the front runners for the BC Conservative leadership, was the vice president
00:22:21.180
of BC Liberals and the BC United Party. That's how like incestuous politics in BC is on like the
00:22:28.460
center or the center right. So many of them are just left politicians who couldn't get in with the
00:22:33.740
BC NDP. They weren't cool enough apparently. And so they joined the BC United. And then when BC United
00:22:38.980
died, they then shifted a little bit more to the right, not in actual policy, but in just style.
00:22:45.520
That's the thing that drives me up the wall. So many people keep trying to point in this leadership
00:22:50.000
price to say, hey, look, this candidate has the right style. They tweeted something that sounds
00:22:54.720
about right. And then you look at their record and they have not said any of this for more than five
00:22:58.960
seconds. And you probably shouldn't trust that they're going to keep saying in the future, because
00:23:02.960
that's exactly what John Rustad did. In the 24 election, John said many of the right things, and then
00:23:08.340
immediately dropped it. Did you know, in December, when the BC legislator was out of session, we had
00:23:15.740
interim BC conservative leader, Trevor Halford saying that we need to immediately recall the
00:23:20.540
legislature so we can repeal DRIPA. And then when we got back to the legislature in February,
00:23:27.820
nothing. He hasn't said a word about actually repealing it. Not in any of their question period
00:23:33.340
questions have they talked about it. Never have they said it in a statement. It's not, they haven't
00:23:37.880
even been talking about it on the steps of the legislature. Now some of the leadership candidates
00:23:41.920
will talk about it. But it's do or die. They kind of have to name check it now, because their voters
00:23:47.120
are demanding they do it. But if they're only doing it because you're demanding they do it,
00:23:51.120
are they really going to fix the problem? That's the issue we have. And that's why Dallas Brody draws
00:23:55.700
crowds, and Caroline Elliott can't draw anybody. She's literally dumping hundreds of dollars on
00:24:02.060
advertisements trying to get people to show up to her events. I was at one of them because it was in
00:24:06.100
Victoria. Like 40 people there, maybe. Many of them were just BC-led staffers probably there for some
00:24:11.340
free food. It's 40 people, and they're running hundreds of dollars on ads trying to get people
00:24:15.620
to show up. Because who the heck is she? What has she done? She reminds me of Kim Campbell.
00:24:20.280
Like, genuinely. Kim Campbell, you could say, well, Kim Campbell's very liberal. Yeah, she pretended to
00:24:24.980
be a PC politician at some point, though. That's the problem. These people who are very liberal can
00:24:30.680
pretend, when convenient, to be a conservative politician because, hey, there's no BC Liberal Party to be the
00:24:36.180
leader of anymore. Hey, the BC NDP don't want them, so they're going to have to run for the next best
00:24:40.480
thing because these people's, I guess, egos are satiated by this fact that they're in politics and
00:24:45.000
they're one of the big players. It's so annoying. Like, that's the funny thing with Dallas, is that
00:24:49.940
she doesn't have to be doing this. She repeats it all the time, that if everything was great in the
00:24:54.900
province, then she would not join politics at all, and she would stay in law, and she would stay in
00:24:59.900
real estate and all the other stuff that she does. It would be way easier for her to just not do any of
00:25:04.780
that. Anyways, but with that all being said, thank you guys for watching this video. Like, share,
00:25:11.360
subscribe. Consider hitting the join button to support the channel, and if you live in British
00:25:15.620
Columbia, I would, you know, just recommend that you check out the 1BC website, what we believe in,
00:25:21.420
on our priorities page, and if you like what you see, consider joining the party or donating. I believe
00:25:27.020
if you donate $100, you get like 75% of it back every year, so you give us $100 for the cost of $25.
00:25:33.000
We are basically growing our budget so we can moneyball the next BC election, where we are only
00:25:40.080
going to spend money where we can actually win. When I say that, I'm not just saying like, we only
00:25:43.740
running three roddings, but my point is, I'm concentrating all money right now, or the party
00:25:48.120
is concentrating money where we can actually win stuff. We don't just spray money around, we don't
00:25:53.200
pay high salaries and give out bonuses to people for doing nothing. We actually spend money where we
00:25:58.820
are getting impact. That's another big problem with the BC Conservatives. They love handing out
00:26:02.820
big salaries and big bonuses to tons of people in the party, and they're not spending anything on
00:26:08.060
actual outreach. They're not spending anything getting volunteers mobilized, or getting their
00:26:12.580
name recognition up, even their MLAs. Half these people, you couldn't pick them out of a crowd.
00:26:17.720
The average person probably doesn't know who their MLA is, because the party almost deliberately
00:26:21.640
doesn't want them to actually go marketing themselves. Because if they make a figure of
00:26:25.800
themselves, well, they're harder to control, because now they have clout, and now you have to
00:26:29.880
respect they have clout, and people like them. Better just keep them in the basement or the attic,
00:26:34.900
let nobody know they exist, and so you can bully them all you want, because, well, if we kick you
00:26:40.100
out of the party, it's not like you're going to do anything, because no one knows who you are. You
00:26:43.820
can't get re-elected as an independent. But, you know, they should consider joining 1BC if they're
00:26:48.680
being smothered this bad, but this is a rant I need to cut off now, or I'm going to make this video
00:26:54.140
30 minutes long. Anyways, so with all that being said, I'll see you guys all later.
