Summary
Dolly Begum is running against Bill Blair in the upcoming by-election in the riding of Scarborough Southwest, Ontario. She is a pro-Israel and pro-Palestine leftist, and is running to replace Bill Blair, who is a sitting Liberal MPP in the same general area. Now, this is not a good look for the Liberals.

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
0.97
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
1.00
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,
0.97
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
0.84
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,
1.00
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
0.59
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
1.00
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.
0.84
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
0.91
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
0.97
00:08:35.940
source of the instability and terror throughout the Middle East as one of the world's worst human
1.00
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
1.00
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
0.99
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
00:09:58.520
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
0.97
00:10:19.760
statement out with. We watch war unleashed on Iran. War was not unleashed on Iran. They subjected
0.99
00:10:26.600
themselves to a conflict because they have been murdering their own people and trying to develop
0.75
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
1.00
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
0.95
00:12:50.100
Korea or any of those actually insane regimes around the planet. They mostly just go out to the United States,
0.97
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
0.66
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
1.00
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,
0.99
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?
1.00
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
1.00
00:15:26.620
really pathetic. But you got all these other leftists out there, like Eve Angler and Paul Champ and all
0.98
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
0.97
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
0.74
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
1.00
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
0.98
00:17:28.300
conservative. I'd love him to screw this whole thing up. Carney could do it. Dolly Begum running
1.00
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
0.93
00:18:06.480
hate Israel and spread anti-Semitism. But I'm not talking about them. They're like the fringe of the
0.54
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,
1.00
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
1.00
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
0.99
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
1.00
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.
1.00
00:24:20.280
Like, genuinely. Kim Campbell, you could say, well, Kim Campbell's very liberal. Yeah, she pretended to
0.99
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
0.83
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,

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.
