00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.420So we now have it confirmed that Nate Erskine-Smith will be resigning his seat in Parliament this coming June,
00:00:14.560and I'm actually pretty shocked by this, because as I've been following the Scarborough Southwest Ontario Liberal Party nomination scandal,
00:00:24.280I had been assuming that since he got screwed out of the nomination because both the OLP rigged it
00:00:30.800and his opponent was cheating, that he was going to say, well, now I'm going to stay in my federal
00:00:35.520seat because I thought I was going into provincial politics, but I was blocked, so I'm going to stay
00:00:40.660being the MP for Beaches East York. I'm going to give a big compliment to Nate Erskine-Smith.
00:00:47.100The guy is a man of his word. I agree with him on no policies. At the same time, at least
00:00:53.780he actually is doing what he said he was going to do.
00:00:57.760He said that he was leaving federal politics and he was going to go into provincial.
00:01:02.600And although even though he was screwed in the Scarborough Southwest nomination
00:01:07.200through rigging and cheating, he's still going to be giving up his federal seat.
00:01:12.520Check out this clip from CTV News where he was on with Vashie Capellos.
00:01:17.220You said every vote counts. Your party now has a majority.
00:03:34.180No, I'm never marketing them as if they're going to take government.
00:03:36.760I'm marketing them as a good place to park your vote because the PCs just suck these days, as I've been saying about all the parties.
00:03:43.620And so in this video, again, we're going to start off with the implications of Erskine Smith and Jonathan Wilkinson leaving.
00:03:51.300Then I want to get into some of the details that Erskine Smith himself released about the nomination.
00:03:57.040And I even want to play a clip of him on the CBC, where the CBC justifies voter fraud, tries to excuse voter fraud, because of course they are.
00:04:07.820If anything, I'm very happy about this situation, not because I like voter fraud. I cover it because I abhor voter fraud.
00:04:14.520I like how much this has exposed people like David Cochran on the CBC.
00:04:19.060He is such a water carrier for establishment liberal politics that he is willing to justify the screwing over of a sitting liberal MP trying to run for an MPP nomination in Ontario.
00:04:34.080But before I go any further, I just want to remind you guys, if you live in the province of Saskatchewan, there is a nomination going on on the border of Manitoba in the Yorkton-Melville riding.
00:04:47.940Kathy Wagenthal is not running for re-election this next time, so there is a nomination going on.
00:04:53.360If you live in this area, it's on the Elections Canada website if you want to go check it out.
00:04:59.900I will be linking the Conservative Party membership portal in the description below and pinned at the top of the comments.
00:05:06.600If you live in that area or you know someone who lives in the area and you can encourage them to become a member,
00:05:11.640get that membership and vote for albert duff he's a very good across the board conservative
00:05:17.420fiscal conservative freedom conservative social conservative and he would make a very good
00:05:22.680replacement for kathy wangenthal it's a safe conservative riding which means that it matters
00:05:28.400more than ever to actually show up and vote in the nomination race because it is the real basically
00:05:34.580it's the real election the the membership portal for that riding closes on friday in terms of if
00:05:40.900you buy a membership like past the time on Friday that you can that you're supposed to buy one you
00:05:46.400cannot vote in the nomination so make sure to get that early again I will be linking all the
00:05:51.660information below if you want to vote in that nomination anyways so let's get in to just the
00:06:00.260current state of parliament right now Mark Carney's liberals have 172 seats do I bring up the
00:06:10.100whiteboard for this or not. I think I've, I think I've got a little bit tired of the whiteboards
00:06:13.820from the last three videos, but right now, Mark Carney's liberals have 172 seats. Now you need,
00:06:20.400I believe exactly, or no, he has 174 seats. You need 172 for a bare majority. So the problem for
00:06:29.360Mark Carney is, although he's not falling out of his majority with the, with Jonathan Wilkinson
00:06:35.280and Nate Erskine-Smith leaving, the problem is for a few months it's going to be very difficult
00:06:40.960for him to pass stuff. Because if you don't know, the Liberal government is going to be the one that
00:06:46.640has to put up the Speaker. Which means although the Speaker can technically tie-break, the problem
00:06:52.700is the Speaker being the tie-breaking vote means that votes themselves become extremely onerous.
00:06:58.640Mark Carney has no barrier or no buffer for people not showing up. Every single Liberal MP
00:07:05.620must be there to vote things through. And if you don't know, there is something on Parliament Hill
00:07:11.620called a pairing agreement. If a Liberal MP, let's just say, needs a knee surgery or something like
00:07:17.580that, or someone is at home, sick as a dog, cannot participate in the House of Commons,
00:07:24.240What you'll usually have happen is an MP from another party, usually the ones that, you know, the biggest parties will usually do most of the pairing, if a liberal is not on Parliament Hill, then a conservative will agree that even if they're on Parliament Hill, they won't vote to kind of keep the peace, keep the general balance of Parliament.
00:07:43.940But the conservatives are probably unlikely to actually follow those rules anymore. They are going to be at Parliament Hill all the time, and they're not going to let the liberals have any room for error.
00:07:55.440And so right now, Carney is in a situation where everything is going to grind to a halt, and he's going to have an extremely difficult time actually getting anything through again.
00:08:04.040And since he has to put up the speaker for all the votes, the conservatives could say, hey, you no longer really have a workable majority anymore. We want to vote to restore all the committees to the way they used to be, not with these extra liberals on all of them packed in so the liberals can do things like prevent the finance minister from having to testify in front of the ethics committee or for all of the other committees from being able to go in camera so that people don't actually get to see what's going on.
00:08:32.820and no transcript is actually made public. So right now, it gives the Conservatives,
00:14:00.500And David immediately folds because he's not asking questions, quote unquote, to try and get at the truth.
00:14:07.560He's trying to throw out misnomer explanations so that maybe people who are friendly to the establishment liberal circles can say, well, maybe there's a little incompetence.
00:14:28.000It's, in fact, when we go into some of the details of what Nate Erskine-Smith's teams put out, it's probably bribery.
00:14:34.440It's people, why are you taking photos of your ballots to show people who you mark down?
00:14:40.220Isn't it enough that a physics team wanted you to go and vote, and you went and they checked your name off the sheet you voted?
00:14:47.780They don't know exactly who you voted for, but you seem friendly to them to make your ballot.
00:14:51.820Why do you need to take a photo of your ballot?
00:14:53.780it's almost like you have to prove that you did something so you can get something that's classical0.85
00:15:00.620voter fraud that's classical vote buying but let's get back to this ridiculous clip of again0.93
00:15:06.540david cochran pretending to be dumb when all this stuff is being explained to him well i i would say0.94
00:15:12.800look i don't know but i i would say it's definitely incompetent on the people running it to allow0.95
00:15:17.820a video conference in the ballot box like no that's not incompetence how does he can't just
00:15:23.880say well that's definitely incompetence no that's definitely fraud that's definitely allowing fraud
00:15:31.600you can't say oh that's just incompetence oh how would they know the scrutineers knew enough to
00:15:36.940take photos of it going on because they knew that this was not kosher and we're going to get into
00:15:41.540the photos later. But David, throwing out every excuse, every justification for why voter fraud
00:15:48.180doesn't matter. Oh, it's just noise. It's no big deal. Maybe people just weren't sure what the
00:15:54.700rules were. Why do you need to video conference somebody while you're voting? Why do you need to
00:15:59.420ask questions to somebody on video and give them a call while you have pencil in hand, pen in hand,
00:16:05.440trying to figure out who to vote for? Why do you need to do that? In any federal election,
00:16:09.420provincial general election, you would be kicked out of the voting booth and probably not allowed
00:16:13.400to vote if you were doing that. At the very least, they would come over and quickly tell you to stop
00:16:17.520or you would be kicked out. The only people allowed to get assistance voting are people0.62
00:16:23.020with disabilities. That's the only people, someone who is very old and frail and they need someone's1.00
00:16:28.840help and they're saying, I allow this person to come and help me. And it's like a relative.
00:16:32.620You don't just get to just have a random staff member of Hafiz come in and just point at the
00:16:38.900things you're supposed to mark down my goodness but again nothing's above nothing's underhanded
00:16:44.920in the eyes of the cbc know what i mean like if i tried to do that i've never voted in a party
00:16:49.980nomination but i can't imagine the elections canada people would let me get away with that
00:16:53.180on federal voting well so i'm glad you say this david because in in the appeal materials i did
00:16:57.760want to note i wanted to be constructive and i wanted to say look we need a full investigation
00:17:02.680i want to make sure it's not about me at all and that's about the process and improving and
00:17:06.460protecting the integrity of the process. And two areas where I think we absolutely need to
00:17:11.120protect the integrity of our process. One comes out of the Hogue Commission, where they recommended
00:17:15.620in the federal government to adopt this change to say that voting participation should be limited
00:17:20.580to citizens and to permanent residents. The Ontario Liberal Party has not changed the rules
00:17:26.340in, I think, an appropriate way. And that needs to change, especially after we just saw hundreds
00:17:30.000of temporary residents show up at the polls on Saturday. And the second piece here, and you've
00:17:35.560identify this, is the party clearly was incapable of running an election where 1,500 people voted
00:17:43.280in a very short window of time on a Saturday afternoon. And Elections Ontario should be
00:17:48.360responsible for this, because what we saw on Saturday was that a core tenet of our democracy,
00:17:53.940which is ballot secrecy, was completely undermined. And Elections Ontario should be at the forefront
00:17:59.740of protecting that now i just know i don't i now just want to jump into the last clip here
00:18:05.100with david cochran and then we'll go into a little bit of the blog post that uh nes had made on this
00:18:11.020race but we will eventually get the photos too it's wild that this had gone on but it's this is
00:18:21.400the this next clip is again another really annoying one because the establishment type
00:18:27.700chilling i've seen on social media around all of this has been maddening and david cochran's like
00:18:33.400the avatar of all of that ever there's nothing that isn't nothing's untoward because we said oh
00:18:39.320you just you just don't know how politics works oh you're just taking it too personally oh well
00:18:43.700how do you know that that's corruption it's like god you're the media you're like a political
00:18:49.300observer online and you don't care why is it that the media is always trying to naysay people with
00:18:54.860a story rather than looking into it themselves. Check out this clip. You know, you look at this
00:18:59.320appeal and you look at the irregularities that you're highlighting here and you look at your
00:19:02.400past comments that the party establishment was working to prevent you from getting the nomination.
00:19:07.180I mean, what makes you say that? Why does it have that the party establishment wanted to stop you
00:19:10.840from winning in Scarborough Southwest? I mean, they've said so themselves. Look, I don't want
00:19:17.620to get too in the weeds on this because like I want to be squarely focused on the process here
00:19:22.120and how we improve the process and how we make sure something like this never happens again.
00:19:25.960But look, I mean, Tom Allison, who's a longtime old guard establishment for the Ontario Liberal
00:19:30.880Party, he was chief scrutineer for Mr. Hafiz. And when asked about why he was there, he said,
00:19:36.100I'm here to save the party, ostensibly to save the party from me, I suppose. You had Ted Loico,
00:19:40.640who was campaign manager for Mr. Hafiz. Ted Loico, who previously was running a nomination
00:19:47.320campaign for Han Dong. Han Dong, if you don't know, is a massive CCP shill. And in the nomination
00:19:54.560that he ran, the guy he mentioned who was Han Dong's campaign manager in 2019 helped bus in
00:20:01.220effectively non-citizen Chinese voters to stuff ballots for Han Dong. And that, again, CBC,
00:20:10.260where's the investigation? Now they are helping APTN, basically the indigenous version of the CBC,
00:20:16.280put on these expose documentaries where they try and entrap people like Lindsay Shepard,
00:20:22.200Francis Whittowson. They even tried to entrap Dallas Brody into these absurd parody interviews
00:20:27.660where they dump a bunch of children's shoes in front of you. CBC is putting hundreds of thousands,
00:20:32.080if not millions of dollars into crap, garbage activist content like that. That's going to be0.99
00:20:37.880another video for another day. But they're not going to look into what is a very clear instance
00:20:45.580of voter fraud and election rigging and potential bribery no curiosity in fact all the questions
00:20:52.720all the david cochran puts on his incredulous face and acts incredulous the entire time well
00:20:58.940why do they want to do that to you nate oh well is that just incompetence is that really is that
00:21:03.580really wrong can we say that's wrong it's like well i don't know about that well i wouldn't know
00:21:07.680what that would mean if people are on facetime calls asking who to vote for and taking photos
00:21:12.880of their ballots after who who knows what that is but no no but the cbc is trying to entrap
00:21:18.460francis widowson and lindsey shepard into these absurd fake interviews to try and humiliate them
00:21:24.320that's what they do have time to put money into and investigate and as a long-standing ties to
00:21:29.820mr allison and to the party you had alexis levine there you had jack siegel there you run down i
00:21:34.260mean run down the list there were all sorts of people who were there supporting opponents and
00:21:37.920making sure that we were unsuccessful. That's okay, by the way. Like, I don't take issue with
00:21:42.560a number of folks in the party who don't want to see me succeed. That's okay. That's democracy.
00:21:47.500It's not democracy to see the number of irregularities, to see the party turn a blind
00:21:54.400eye, I think, unfortunately, to so many of these irregularities. I said to my wife, like, should we
00:21:58.060do this? Or should I do this? And she said, I don't want you to, from the perspective of,
00:22:02.360I want you at home more. I don't want you stressed about these things. It's not good.
00:22:06.200you know the like what what's the outcome here but on the flip side we can't let this happen in
00:22:11.460Canada anyway so there's that again just terrible performance there by David Cochran but now I want
00:22:18.860to go into the blog post that Nate Erskine Smith made which I will be linking below as well if you
00:22:24.580want to check it out he actually also put his own video out where he had his own I think chief
00:22:29.700scrutineer do a rundown of what he had seen and it's quite remarkable but most of those details
00:22:35.300are in this blog post as well. Here is a photo of the voting stations where NES scrutineers
00:22:43.280have on camera some of the voters, or Hafiz, more presumably his voters, are all taking photographs
00:22:53.220of what their ballot looked like. Why do you need to do that? Why? Why do you need to prove
00:22:59.700someone that's exactly how you voted? You can prove you voted, you showed up and they crossed
00:23:03.920your name off. Why do they specifically need to see what your ballot looked like? That is illegal
00:23:08.440in most elections. You can't be posting ballots online. The government could demand you take
00:23:15.880that down. You'd only need to prove it to somebody if there's something that you get if you do it,
00:23:22.060or to avoid punishment if you don't go and fill up the ballot properly. Absolutely wild. Let's go
00:23:28.780down a little bit more. I think they also had some other photos around here. Well, they have
00:23:32.920the video up there as well. So when I post the blog post, you'll be able to see that too.
00:23:38.300But I want to go down some of the points that he makes here to show you just how ridiculous
00:23:42.780this entire thing gets. So number one, there was an organized effort by Mr. Hafiz's campaign to0.83
00:23:49.120direct, monitor, and pressure people throughout the voting process from the time they walked
00:23:53.680into the building to after they cast their ballots. We saw many, many cases of people
00:23:58.760hanging around watchfully in the voting area, telling voters explicitly what they should do.
00:24:04.300Multiple people took calls on speakerphone or video so they could get instructions in the voting booth while marking their ballots.
00:24:11.840There were countless cases of individuals taking pictures of their ballots when brought to the attention of the party officials.
00:24:17.380They acknowledged that they'd all seen the same practice taking place throughout the day.
00:24:21.780In most of the world, this would be a considered clear evidence of vote buying.
00:24:26.740Among the large number of temporary residents who voted, many could not initially state their address when asked and defaulted to documentation.
00:24:34.440An unusually high number of people claimed to have just lost their driver's licenses or just moved to the area.
00:24:40.260The party provided a list of IDs it would accept and then broke its own rules.
00:24:45.120Dozens and dozens of asylum seekers voted with their refugee claimant documents.
00:24:49.660Others were able to prove their address using just an apartment lease, sometimes unsigned, and two of which improperly listed voters under 18.
00:24:59.000Other non-status forms of ID included digital report cards and Amazon orders.
00:25:05.720One man even voted with a visitor's visa and foreign passport.
00:25:09.540And by the way, when they say listed someone under 18 up here, you actually are allowed to vote in most party nominations 14 years old or older.
00:25:17.680They're saying that people were showing apartment leases, supposedly an unsigned one.
00:25:23.020So it's not an actual real apartment lease by any, you know, normal, like any normal evidence, evidentiary standard.
00:25:31.480Like it's just you just filled out an apartment lease for an apartment where the owner has not even signed off on it.
00:25:47.680So now we go down to number five here and it says in the last two hour or two, the OLP lost control of the voting process nearly entirely. Various people came and went, moved throughout the room or hung around with a little scrutiny.
00:26:02.340our team witnessed repeated irregularities, people voting, and then returning to the credentials
00:26:06.720line, people staying in the voting area long after they had voted, people entering the voting area
00:26:11.900via the exit. So yeah, a lot of just shenanigans going on. And remember, Hafiz had only beaten
00:26:19.200NES. I think it's Ansel Hafiz had only beat NES by 19 votes. And there were 34 more votes
00:26:28.300counted than people who had actually voted that day. Absolutely wild. And remember, like I
00:26:35.140previously said in other videos, the party before the vote happened removed 1265 members as being
00:26:44.140invalid, which Hafiz himself admitted had only affected a few of his actual members on his own
00:26:51.720list. NES, Quadra Jackson, Kadira Jackson, and someone else, I forgot what the last guy is,
00:26:58.840they had all reported that those 1265 membership deletions had affected them quite significantly,
00:27:05.920potentially being hundreds for each of them that were removed from their list, and Nadir Skinesmith
00:27:10.980very much heavily protested that as disenfranchising a lot of voters. Somehow Mr. Hafiz knew that
00:27:17.480there's no big deal for him, and it might even help him. When you don't protest something that's
00:27:23.240clearly not kosher going on, it's probably because you know that's helping you. But anyways,0.99
00:27:29.620so with all that being said, thank you guys for watching this video. No doubt there will be more
00:27:36.680updates to this story. Nadarskine-Smith is actually doing something fairly smart right now.
00:27:41.320In the aftermath of all this, he's saying, you don't even have to make me the candidate.
00:27:45.240Don't make me the candidate I will not run in.
00:27:48.180If you guys redo the nomination, I will not run in it.
00:27:51.300If you appoint somebody, you do not have to appoint me.
