The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - David Eby's BC NDP are painfully inauthentic

00:00:00.000 If you've watched this channel more than once, you're probably already very well aware of the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool, do not like British Columbia Premier David Eby or his BC NDP party.

00:00:14.360 They are far-left progressive activists who, you know, think that the solution to things like drug addiction in society is to give drug addicts more drugs.

00:00:24.420 I do not trust them to run a lemonade stand, and I hope that BC voters end up throwing them out on October 19th.

00:00:32.440 But on this channel, I also like to talk about political marketing and communications.

00:00:38.220 You know, I like to see how politicians and parties present themselves.

00:00:41.780 And the only thing that the BC NDP and David Eby may be worse at than public policy is political communications.

00:00:50.100 These people are horrifyingly, painfully inauthentic.

00:00:54.740 And I just want to play two clips to just start you off right now to show you how bad it is.

00:01:00.720 This is David Eby at an event in Surrey in which they have two videos that start off basically the same of him trying to sound energized and, you know, with the people and talking about how much momentum they have.

00:01:12.900 It's hard to listen to.

00:01:15.000 Surrey, hello. It's good to see you.

00:01:17.980 It's so good to see you.

00:01:20.100 Surrey, it's so good to see you.

00:01:22.640 Like, who approved of him talking like this?

00:01:25.180 Who edited this together?

00:01:27.940 I want to get to this one at the start.

00:01:30.180 He does a similar sort of, like, weird camp counselor type introduction.

00:01:36.380 Guys, I feel the momentum.

00:01:38.280 Surrey, do you feel the momentum?

00:01:40.600 Guys, I feel the momentum.

00:01:42.820 Do you feel the momentum?

00:01:44.040 You're an incumbent government who's failing in the polls right now when you have all of the political advantages this election.

00:01:52.560 It's pretty easy in Canada to be reelected as an incumbent government.

00:01:56.860 The only way that you lose as an incumbent government is that you've screwed up everything.

00:02:02.240 Usually, you can sort of muddle your way through a couple of elections after you are first elected.

00:02:08.180 And even Justin Trudeau shows you that it's not that difficult, that you can do a bad job and still come out with a minority government.

00:02:15.020 The B.C. NDP are likely to lose to the B.C. conservatives who only got 2% of the vote in the 2020 election.

00:02:24.440 And it's because they suck on policy and they do stuff like this.

00:02:28.440 It's just this inauthentic talking down to people.

00:02:32.240 Hey, guys, are you ready to move B.C. forward?

00:02:37.040 No, not with you at least because you're terrible at your job and you act like everybody's five years old.

00:02:43.540 This is all of the B.C. NDP's marketing is talking to people as if they're dumb.

00:02:49.820 And now I just want to go into the lying sort of, I guess, part of this show where I want to talk about all the lying that the B.C. NDP has been doing recently.

00:03:01.000 I don't know why they think this is going to be a big vote getter.

00:03:04.060 For context, there is about 315,000 people in British Columbia who have PAL licenses, possession and acquisition licenses for firearms, either PAL or RPAL, the restricted version of the PAL.

00:03:18.860 That's a lot of voters. I'm not sure if you know that.

00:03:22.660 There's a lot of people who have PAL licenses, most of those being people who can vote, because I think that you can technically have a PAL below the age of 18, but the vast majority of them are going to be people 18 and above.

00:03:34.540 And if you've seen the British Columbia riding map in terms of where parties are projected to be winning or losing, there's a lot of NDP ridings with significant rural areas in them.

00:03:48.840 There's like ridings that are almost fully rural with some small towns that the NDP have a chance at winning re-election in, having their MLA still get across the finish line.

00:04:00.400 And why would you slap at gun owners?

00:04:02.540 Because right now the NDP is on this big terror against the conservatives over this ridiculous notion that the conservatives are in favor of gangs.

00:04:11.800 I don't know what this is even trying to get at.

00:04:16.140 When their families send them out at the beginning of their shift, as police officers, they understand that they're taking on risk.

00:04:24.360 It's a hard job.

00:04:25.960 They're putting themselves on the line.

00:04:29.200 Why would we ever make it harder for those families?

00:04:35.740 Also notice the weird small pauses for drama during this.

00:04:40.220 It's like it's hard for him to go with those words because he just cares about those families so much, even though he's the one giving drugs to people on the streets, making police his job way harder.

00:04:49.300 He's the one who used to sue the police back in the day at the Pivot Legal Society.

00:04:53.180 He wrote a book on how to sue the police.

00:04:55.680 Yeah, he's just full of garbage.

00:04:57.620 He wrote a book on how to sue the police officers to do their job, to respond to calls, make it more dangerous.

00:05:03.380 Nobody wants, except for apparently John Rostat, to import lax U.S. style handgun and semi-automatic gun rules that make us all less safe.

00:05:15.920 We don't want that gun violence in British Columbia.

00:05:17.540 All he had to do in this clip was just add him, just burst out crying, just start weeping at the thing that you're just making up.

00:05:27.620 John Rostat never said he didn't want to crack down on illegal weapons.

00:05:32.080 Of course he does.

00:05:32.880 He just released a plan today to basically put more B.C. sheriffs on the streets, increase police presence around high crime areas, which is absolutely what's needed.

00:05:42.260 You need to have police officers around so people couldn't even commission a crime simply because they would get stopped immediately.

00:05:48.940 We just need more police on the streets, and we can pass provincial laws to keep repeat offenders, both violent and nonviolent, in prison.

00:05:56.720 Because just because something's not a violent offense doesn't mean you're okay with someone repeatedly doing it, like shoplifters, people vandalizing property, all that kind of stuff.

00:06:07.380 If someone keeps doing it, you eventually do need to lock them up and keep them locked up for a while.

00:06:12.260 And so his attack on Rustad on this is, one, again, inauthentic, if you know what the NDP is like, if you know what the NDP has been like for the last couple of decades, they've always been the soft on crime party.

00:06:28.600 And him trying to take on the tough on crime stance on this particular issue just makes him look, he just looks like a liar.

00:06:37.380 He just, he's not being himself.

00:06:39.640 Like, here's another, another post that went along with that video.

00:06:43.780 It says,

00:06:44.520 John Rustad says he won't enforce federal laws that keep dangerous assault weapons out of the hands of gangsters and dangerous criminals, importing lax U.S. style gun rules that make us all less safe.

00:06:55.100 Going down, that was from George, this video from George Anderson.

00:06:59.340 And it's really funny if you actually know that he just had a big screw up at a debate where he started talking down to the Green Party candidate saying he'd talk slower to her because she's from Alberta.

00:07:08.360 Another one here.

00:07:09.820 Stop John Rustad from letting gangs carry assault weapons.

00:07:13.320 This one that got heavily ratioed, 700 comments and only 146 likes.

00:07:19.800 I actually have a reply underneath this post that had like 350 likes, heavily ratioing them.

00:07:27.800 It says, again,

00:07:28.980 Okay.

00:07:39.240 You already probably know why this is wrong.

00:07:43.060 John Rustad said he would not expend provincial policing resources helping Justin Trudeau and the federal government go after law-abiding gun owners because they happen to own a arbitrarily banned model of rifle, shotgun, handgun, what have you.

00:08:03.520 Obviously, he's not saying that, well, if a gang has one of those weapons illegally smuggled over the border, I don't care about that.

00:08:11.320 That's what he wants more resources to go towards and is saying that driving down country roads to go after a farmer for owning the wrong type of rifle that he has never used wrongly, never would,

00:08:23.580 and also has done like all the correct licensing and whatnot to get that gun, that is a waste of provincial resources.

00:08:30.500 There's no reason to ban in the first place.

00:08:31.980 Trudeau just wanted to seem tough on guns after the Nova Scotia mass shooting, which was done by through the use of illegally smuggled guns that that's, yeah, like that's, it's ridiculous what they're trying to get at here.

00:08:45.700 And I think the ratio was very, it was very apt on that post.

00:08:50.280 And I don't even know why they think this is going to get them boats or something like that.

00:08:54.500 Again, there's 315,000 PAL license holders.

00:08:58.520 And as long as the provincial government was not assisting the federal government in going after law-abiding gun owners, a lot of those PAL holders have no reason to not vote NDP other than the fact that all their other policy is crazy. 0.50

00:09:11.460 But I mean, in terms of that one category of person doesn't technically have anything specifically against the provincial government.

00:09:18.860 I've even had people commenting under one of my last videos on BC when I first mentioned this problem that I'm a gun owner and I was considering voting NDP and I'm totally not doing it anymore because they're basically saying that they're going to help Trudeau take away any guns I have that are arbitrarily banned.

00:09:36.900 Even Trudeau's not even trying to take away the guns at the moment because he realized that the gun confiscation plan, especially in light of Bill C-5, which lets basically gangsters get off easy on carrying actually legally possessed, like possessed guns, that all these, like that, that the current confiscation program pulls like polio.

00:09:58.220 Nobody is in favor of this.

00:09:59.900 But this is, but this is, this has been like, I want to see if I can find any other posts here, but it's just been bad.

00:10:06.940 The, the NDP campaign has just been bad from the perspective that it's, it's, it's, it's trying to get progressives on board for their campaign that they already have.

00:10:21.620 The, the, the BCNDP doing all these advertisements and statements against Chip Wilson, the, the billionaire founder of Lululemon, a company that let's just say sells products that I consider more left-wing coded.

00:10:35.880 Lululemon was always a brand that if you were shopping there, you're a little bit more likely to be center left than you are to be on the right.

00:10:42.300 Like, you know, more like no guys wearing a Lululemon to go like working out or something like that.

00:10:48.200 Or maybe you are, I don't know.

00:10:49.400 I don't go to the gym.

00:10:50.560 You know, no surprise there, but that's a company whose owner in effect should be maybe possibly leaning a little bit more towards a center left option because it might represent the values of the company that he started, but no, the NDP is attacking him because he called them communists because a lot of them are communists.

00:11:10.020 Let's, let's be very clear in Alberta, the Alberta NDP in that provincial election, a party that's to the right of the BCNDP was running multiple communist candidates.

00:11:20.780 And I mean like people posting Mao on their Facebook timelines, Mao quotes, big pictures of Mao, not ironically just flat out posting it because they like them.

00:11:31.180 The BCNDP has a lot of people who just don't believe in private property or free markets or capitalism for that matter.

00:11:39.000 They are not people that you, like the party going after business owners harder and saying, well, he's, I'm David Eby saying, I'm proud that I raised Chip Wilson's property taxes or his taxes in general.

00:11:52.000 He mentioned property taxes.

00:11:53.220 Like I raised the taxes on his $80 million home, even though I think that's still a municipal responsibility fully like they're, they just keep putting a hat on a hat.

00:12:04.120 I want the BCNDP to lose, but it's almost frustrating to watch them make every single obvious mistake.

00:12:09.920 I guess that's good because I want John Rustad to become the premier.

00:12:13.140 I want the BC conservatives to have a big majority.

00:12:15.280 Everything the BCNDP does is alienating of people that they need the votes of in order to win the election.

00:12:23.640 Anyways, well, I guess this is a good time for me to transition to a story that I technically covered yesterday.

00:12:29.240 And that was Creek Pete, this TikToker who was spreading conspiracy theories that all the polling in Canada is being rigged in favor of conservatives. 0.92

00:12:39.620 And his, his evidence was David Coletto once spoke at the Heritage Foundation and did polling at Sun News, even though I believe David Coletto is actually a little bit more center left as a person.

00:12:50.740 And that Angus Reid is personally a conservative.

00:12:53.000 And that means all the polling is, you know, just trying to get Justin Trudeau.

00:12:56.520 And I will congratulate Max Fawcett here, who I know does not like me at all.

00:13:01.260 And it is because he is, he himself is a big media progressive.

00:13:05.180 But I do like seeing that he did call out the people tweeting about Pete Creek, you know, fawningly because he's saying the correct liberal thing.

00:13:16.740 And Max Fawcett here says, because the whole title of Creek Pete's video is, or at least the quote from it is, I think polling polls are BS and I'll tell you why.

00:13:26.360 And then he goes over how he thinks there's all these conservatives in the polling industry just trying to make the liberals look bad.

00:13:31.900 And Max here says, sorry, progressives, this isn't the way.

00:13:36.460 Frank Graves at Ecos is very clearly not a fan of Polyev.

00:13:39.820 His polls show basically the same thing as Abacus and Angus Reid Institute.

00:13:43.880 Ditto Main Street, ditto Nanos, ditto Leger.

00:13:46.260 And then you have GT Lem here, who is a massive liberal cheerleader online saying gaslighting and propaganda is real, Max Fawcett.

00:13:56.760 And then Max Fawcett says, as are conspiracy theories, which I find very entertaining to watch.

00:14:02.820 These very hard left liberal activists actually being told by another liberal progressive, who's just a bit more rational than them, that they're just completely out on the lake without a paddle.

00:14:17.300 And then you have Creek Pete here then responding to Max Fawcett saying, as are conspiracy theories.

00:14:21.840 And he says, what exactly is the conspiracy, Max?

00:14:24.800 Are you saying with certainty that polls cannot be manipulated, especially online polls?

00:14:29.500 I guess we are to ignore bot farms.

00:14:33.740 Bot farms?

00:14:34.960 A lot of these polls are done through IVR in terms of you get a call on a phone and it gets you to press buttons for who you're voting for.

00:14:43.620 And you can't really use a bot farm to mess with polls because it's randomly selected who gets polls.

00:14:49.200 Unless everyone who gets selected is secretly running a bot farm.

00:14:52.720 I don't know how this actually would work.

00:14:55.680 I guess, do I want to see more replies?

00:14:59.500 What is the security apparatus to block manipulation like this in online polls?

00:15:03.980 Many in the industry have raised concerns about poll manipulation, including Angus himself, as well as Frank and Nick.

00:15:10.080 Are you saying with certainty that owners of these companies have no impact?

00:15:13.980 That like saying Rupert Murdoch has no say on his media outlets push out.

00:15:18.920 What?

00:15:19.580 How is polling like a media outlet?

00:15:22.320 I need to read the rest of that.

00:15:23.840 Obviously, he's wrong.

00:15:24.780 But it's at least funny in how he's wrong.

00:15:27.940 Guys, were the polls manipulating people so hard that the liberals lost in Toronto-St. Paul?

00:15:34.900 Were the polls so manipulated that the Bloc Québécois, because I guess maybe the media is in favor of the Bloc Québécois, that they won the Montreal by-election?

00:15:42.420 Again, the conservatives gained in that recent Manitoba by-election massively.

00:15:46.880 They usually get like 25% in that riding, and they went up to like 40%.

00:15:50.720 That's just because nobody – that's because the polls reflect the public.

00:15:55.980 Every time I hear people say, you can't trust the polls.

00:15:58.900 The polls are, you know, trying to rake things in favor of this or that person.

00:16:02.720 No, it might just be that your guy's not that popular.

00:16:06.280 Are there polling firms that manipulate results?

00:16:08.900 Sure.

00:16:09.700 They're also not very well respected, and everyone will point them out to you right away.

00:16:14.000 Or at least they'll say that their records aren't very good.

00:16:16.260 There's, like, more legitimate claims of poll manipulation in the U.S., since there's so much money that goes into politics that there is, in theory, a reason to pay a pollster who maybe isn't even manipulating polls, but you know that they have a more pro-Democrat or pro-Republican sample that they tend to draw from, that you want their numbers to be out there because it gives your guy momentum.

00:16:39.360 At the end of the day, you can't short-circuit public opinion.

00:16:42.960 People vote for what they want for, for a very simple lesson at the end of this video.

00:16:47.960 People vote for what they want for, what they want.

00:16:51.180 If they didn't vote for you, it's because they didn't want you, a lesson to those who are running the PPC.

00:16:57.640 I can even agree with a lot of PPC, like, policy recommendations or policy stances.

00:17:03.440 But in general, people aren't voting for you because they don't want you.

00:17:06.680 And that could be for policy reasons, for trust reasons, for the fact that you didn't show that you were working hard enough during the election to earn their vote.

00:17:14.300 There's a lot of reasons for why people vote for the way they do, and very little of it is from manipulation.

00:17:20.320 Could you be manipulated in terms of you believe things that are not quite right because of media narratives?

00:17:25.840 Sure.

00:17:26.060 But usually the people who are putting out those media narratives believe them.

00:17:29.880 There's actually not that many people in politics who are just straight-up liars, who are lying about everything.

00:17:35.060 Even Justin Trudeau, as scary as it sounds, believes the things that he says for the most part.

00:17:41.120 He'll fibs to try and get out of tight corners, but he is a true believer in what he does.

00:17:45.820 That's what makes him so scary, is that he could be failing this hard and thinking that it's just another $5 billion until his failing programs are going to turn around and we're going to be in utopia.

00:17:57.060 That's what makes people like this awful.

00:17:59.240 If they were rational, they would probably just start doing the right thing rather than lying.

00:18:03.380 Because doing the right thing has a strange way of making you more popular than just lying about why you're doing the wrong thing.

00:18:10.960 Anyways, rant over.

00:18:12.580 If you guys want to support this show, you can donate down in the description to the Give, Send, Go legal fund that we're running.

00:18:19.480 I also have it pinned in the comments.

00:18:21.580 If you want to know what that's all about, go to the Give, Send, Go itself.

00:18:24.740 I don't think people want to keep hearing me repeat what that lawsuit's about.

00:18:29.620 Nonsensical defamation suit against us.

00:18:31.860 Read it in the Give, Send, Go link.

00:18:34.340 But I guess I'll see you guys next time.

00:18:36.180 Make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

00:18:37.920 Suggest video topics down below.

00:18:40.260 I usually give it a quick skim, even if I don't get back to you personally.

00:18:43.460 I do try and read them.

00:18:44.900 Have a good one, everyone.
