David Eby and the BCNDP are a political fraud, and they know it. They know that they ve alienated the average middle class BC voter in favor of crazy progressive people, and now they re trying to seem less "hippie" by talking sensibly about finances, drugs, and all sorts of other things. People should not believe them.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Regardless if some polls are still showing that David Eby's BCNDP party is leading John Rustad's BC Conservatives, they are extremely vulnerable right now.
00:00:10.720 And just looking at their behavior, you can tell. If this was going to be an easy cruise to victory for the BCNDP, they wouldn't be announcing as much stuff as they are right now or trying to contradict their previous positions on the policies.
00:00:25.940 They know that they've alienated the average middle class BC voter in favor of crazy progressive people, and now they're trying to seem less hippie-ish and then coming back to talking sensibly about finances, drugs, and all these other things.
00:00:41.920 But they're political fraudsters. People should not believe them, and I'm going to get into that in just a second here.
00:00:48.400 The thing I first want to acknowledge is just how pathetic the merger talks between the BC Conservatives and BC United were.
00:00:57.340 And when I say pathetic, I mean to say fake, because the pro-NDP media was ballyhooing the idea that there was talks between the BC Conservatives and BC United.
00:01:08.060 And they were trying to stress out the BC Conservatives to thinking, if you don't merge, if you don't let Kevin Falcon and his morons into your party, you're going to lose.
00:01:16.940 When that is the exact thing that you would do if you actually did want to lose.
00:01:21.120 You would let all the people who drove the BC United slash Liberal Party into the floor into the new party that people actually like.
00:01:28.960 They like their positions on issues, and they like how firmly that they will talk about them.
00:01:33.700 So letting in United would have been stupid. That was David Eby's big ploy.
00:01:38.780 Have the media create a big talking point firestorm around that the Conservatives and United are in talks when they really never were,
00:01:46.020 and that they need to combine if they want to beat Eby, even though all of us love Eby and we don't want you to beat him.
00:01:51.640 But do what we say, because that will totally let you guys win, even though every merger around the country usually ends up benefiting the opposition in the long run.
00:02:00.140 It's what happened in Alberta. Right now, the United, we are just having a big, like the United Conservative Party in Alberta.
00:02:05.880 There's still fights going on between more principled Wild Rose people in the party and the PCs, and it's held back real change and reform for being made.
00:02:13.540 But anyways, I want to dive in to some of these social media posts from NDP politicians, including David Eby himself,
00:02:24.420 and read their website, and you will understand the desperation that these people are under.
00:02:28.900 They might be ahead in the polls, but that lead, like it has been for the past year, has been deteriorating, and nobody trusts them on the issues.
00:02:36.620 So let's go first to David Eby himself. He posted this just 20 hours ago.
00:02:41.760 He said, when somebody is critically ill or injured, they need the fastest and best care possible.
00:02:47.580 That's why we're deploying a brand new fleet of air ambulances so patients in BC can get swift care no matter where they are.
00:02:54.520 You mean slow care no matter where they are, because regardless if they get picked up by one of these air buses, guess what?
00:03:01.180 You forced all of the unvaccinated nurses and doctors out of the system.
00:03:05.480 You are a complete fraud. Pretending that he is doing anything to actually help the situation would be to label yourself a very gullible individual.
00:03:15.560 David Eby does not actually care about getting the healthcare system sped up.
00:03:20.160 If he did, he'd get rid of Bonnie Henry, and he would reinstate all of the old nurses and doctors.
00:03:25.920 Frankly, a lot of them have either left the United States or Alberta or another province where it's easier to work as a nurse or doctor.
00:03:33.080 And even if he reverses himself at this point, a lot of the damage is going to be already done.
00:03:38.020 And again, we see with David Eby announcing that, actually, we're going to ban drug use in parks.
00:03:43.840 He's trying to mimic two middle-class BC voters.
00:03:47.420 No, guys, I'm not a radical crazy hippie. He is.
00:03:50.120 See, I'm trying to tell people not to smoke meth and crack in public parks, except he's never enforced any illegal camping orders in his entire life, and he's not actually reversing decriminalization.
00:04:02.640 He's just saying don't smoke crack in specific tiny areas, and even then, it's just more of a suggestion.
00:04:10.000 This is David Eby's new gambit.
00:04:12.120 Pretend that he hasn't held all the positions that he's held over the past few years.
00:04:17.000 But now, here is David Eby's NDP henchman out there in Vancouver West End, the MLA for Vancouver West End, trying to take a stance against anti-Semitism.
00:04:31.980 Spencer Chandra Hubert says,
00:04:34.760 Hate has no place in BC.
00:04:36.660 I stand with BC's Jewish community.
00:04:39.060 No one should ever be targeted because of their faith or at their place of worship.
00:04:42.500 That's weird, because you guys kicked out a BC NDP minister from her job, and I believe she might not even be part of the party anymore, because she was Jewish and doesn't hate Israel.
00:04:55.660 And for somebody to say, well, they only didn't like her because she was a Zionist, please stop talking.
00:05:01.460 Because every single time these people see a Jewish person, they just assume that they're super pro-Israel and then attack them for it preemptively.
00:05:08.900 And on top of that, that's pretty disgusting that you can't like the only democracy in the Middle East, and that makes you a bad person worth the NDP activist class attacking for having said that Israel did a lot of good things for the area when Jewish people started building cities like Tel Aviv in the area.
00:05:25.900 These people don't actually care about anti-Semitism.
00:05:28.040 They just have to make sounds with their mouths every time a synagogue is firebombed.
00:05:33.100 At the same time, they're not going to actually provide any increased security or do anything to tamp down on the hatred that they're creating by patting the pro-Hamas people on the head.
00:05:43.720 It's just been revealed the sorts of things that are being taught in BC schools.
00:05:47.300 People talking about why the non-existence of Israel would be a very good thing.
00:05:52.280 That is being taught in BC public schools as well as universities, and none of these MLAs are going to condemn it.
00:05:59.260 Only BC conservative MLA candidates are condemning it.
00:06:03.080 And I'm going to move on to this next one.
00:06:06.140 It's completely ridiculous because they're now attacking BC conservative candidates for mocking this, like Brian Berguet, who's a great BC conservative candidate out in Vancouver, Langara.
00:06:15.500 So Spencer Chandra Hubert also posted this today.
00:06:19.780 And while this doesn't really seem like much, I just wanted to use this to highlight just how aesthetic so many of the NDP's policy positions and beliefs are.
00:06:29.340 He posted, I love this truck, pointing to a fire truck with the Pride Progress flag on it.
00:06:35.780 And I guess this is supposed to be a symbol of how tolerant the NDP is that he likes this.
00:06:40.540 And Brian Berguet is a very nasty man, even though he is a social liberal.
00:06:44.340 I know, Brian, we don't agree on everything.
00:06:46.920 And he's a social liberal, but he didn't like this truck.
00:06:49.780 And you had NDP activists then attacking him for making that comment because, well, don't you like tolerance?
00:06:56.900 Don't you like diversity?
00:06:58.380 No.
00:06:59.000 This stuff that the BC NDP government has been encouraging is obviously politically divisive.
00:07:04.420 It is stumping for hyper-progressive socialist type policy stances, type like, you know, censorship programs, type diversity, which is really just hiring ideological leftists.
00:07:17.560 But why I wanted to talk about that was so much of the NDP's rhetoric and sort of imagistics over the past year have gone away from any sense of professionalism and just towards progressive activism.
00:07:30.040 Outside of them making posts and doing things to try and pretend that they understand the middle class at all, this is really what represents the NDP.
00:07:37.580 Yes, there might be needles all over the man's, all over Spencer's riding.
00:07:44.080 Vancouver might have attics all over it.
00:07:46.520 It might be in a completely unaffordable city.
00:07:48.820 It might be a place where it's hard to find a doctor.
00:07:51.520 It might be a place where you are now considering moving to a different province because they are taxing you to death.
00:07:57.400 But don't worry, guys.
00:07:58.880 There are pride flags on the fire trucks.
00:08:02.400 Completely ridiculous.
00:08:03.320 And they're trying to go after now the B.C. Conservative Party as, like, homophobic.
00:08:07.660 Like, they just had, what's her name?
00:08:09.720 I just want to go look at it.
00:08:11.020 Eleanor Sturko joined the B.C. Conservative Party, an openly gay woman.
00:08:15.580 So I don't think that the B.C. Conservative Party is exactly homophobic in any way.
00:08:20.680 But I'll move on to yet another B.C. NDP post.
00:08:24.640 This one done by, sometimes I can't see the names because my recording button cuts it off here.
00:08:29.460 This one posted by Bob Deeth from the B.C. NDP, ballyhooing the new action plan that the B.C. NDP is coming out with.
00:08:41.160 And this post reads,
00:08:42.660 Our David Eby NDP government has taken action to help people with costs, improving services and building needed infrastructure.
00:08:50.180 Now is the time to invest in B.C., not cut funding like Kevin Falcon and John Rustad's parties would do.
00:08:56.020 Why is it now time to invest?
00:08:58.620 You guys have been in government for several years now, since 2016, but now is the time to invest.
00:09:06.320 You guys have had all the opportunities to make a more affordable province to live in, and you failed at every single step along the way.
00:09:16.600 And I just read the plan here.
00:09:18.120 It's just handouts.
00:09:19.300 It's just handouts.
00:09:20.240 They are literally copying Justin Trudeau's desperate plan from the Liberal Party federally.
00:09:25.660 And what they're doing is just increasing benefits, starting new entitlement programs.
00:09:30.680 And now they are going to campaign on John Rustad and the B.C. conservatives taking them away.
00:09:35.200 You have a minimum wage increase.
00:09:36.760 They have tax reductions for lower middle class, middle class families.
00:09:40.280 They have, like, all these other family benefit programs, getting rid of tolls, doing all this stuff at the same time that B.C. is exploding in its debt-to-GDP ratio.
00:09:52.640 Right now, I'm just going to read this off here, that at the moment, their debt-to-GDP ratio is 14.9%.
00:10:01.540 Their debt right now as a province is 14.9% of the B.C. economy every single year.
00:10:08.160 And based on the new budget that they're releasing for 2024-2025, it is likely going to jump to 22.5% in just a couple of years.
00:10:21.060 That's insane that basically a full third of the debt is now going to be generated in a year or so.
00:10:28.300 The deficit in this new budget is doubling in size compared to last year.
00:10:32.800 They are running a handout election campaign where they are going to promise you things that they can't deliver, and it's going to make the province worse.
00:10:39.480 And then they're going to point to John Rust and said, see, he's mean for actually wanting to take the public finance issue seriously.
00:10:46.300 By trying to actually cut wasteful spending, he doesn't care about you as much as we do.
00:10:51.060 Even though your life has gotten significantly worse as the NDP had been running the province, taxes have gotten worse, drugs have gotten worse, affordability is horrible, wait times in hospitals are now the worst in all of the country.
00:11:04.700 I live in Alberta where we used to be the worst.
00:11:07.360 Thank you for taking that title off our hands.
00:11:09.880 Now you're easily the slowest for any operations that require meetings with your GP and specialists.
00:11:16.520 You guys are now the worst because of David Eby and the NDP being so progressive that they don't want unvaccinated people working for them because that's icky.
00:11:25.580 So now maybe there's this one more thing I want to highlight here.
00:11:28.940 I don't want to make these videos drag on too long.
00:11:31.640 But David Eby, because he's so desperate, is now trying to go for this homophobia attack on the BC conservatives.
00:11:38.780 David Eby in this post right here says,
00:11:40.320 He thinks that the same thing as his candidate calling gay people perverts, degenerates, and groomers, he's wrong.
00:11:51.780 British Columbians don't tolerate hate.
00:11:53.680 That candidate who said those things has already stepped down voluntarily because he had acknowledged that it was harsh language.
00:11:59.300 It wasn't right.
00:12:00.000 It was not calibrated.
00:12:01.540 He never wanted to be a candidate.
00:12:02.620 So it's people being edgy online and they never forced him out.
00:12:06.600 He just left.
00:12:07.400 But now they're going to call the party who has a new openly gay MLA who crossed the floor to them that these people are the hateful ones.
00:12:16.060 And you can even tell them this podcast.
00:12:17.600 And this guy's pretty good that they're trying to drill in on the BC conservatives.
00:12:22.080 They're trying to hurt them through bad press.
00:12:24.760 It was about an individual.
00:12:28.040 It wasn't a branding of a community.
00:12:29.720 But using slurs is offensive to the entire community, isn't it?
00:12:32.420 Well, you know, David Eby's used lots of slurs against me too.
00:12:35.180 So what's the difference?
00:12:37.200 What has he said to be a slur?
00:12:39.800 Well, I would think just many of the comments he had, particularly even comments.
00:12:43.860 He actually has.
00:12:44.660 I'm not sure why this guy's feigning ignorance.
00:12:46.460 He's called the BC Conservative Party and John Rustad far right, extremists.
00:12:50.600 He's calling them homophobic for no reason because a single candidate posted, you know, edgelord type stuff a few years ago.
00:12:57.880 How is this at all fair?
00:12:59.240 And this guy's acting like, well, what could be worse than one candidate who's already gone saying bad things?
00:13:05.100 People shouldn't even vote for you, even though an openly gay MLA just joined your caucus.
00:13:10.040 People can't trust you.
00:13:11.540 And I know this guy's somewhat kind of trying to be neutral.
00:13:14.240 But like all of the neutral questions always drill in on things that are completely unfair to bring up about the BC Conservatives.
00:13:21.000 At the same time, the BC NDP is obviously the party of anti-Semitism.
00:13:25.380 They bullied out their own minister for being Jewish and not hating Israel, which seems pretty anti-Semitic to me, maybe.
00:13:32.280 And they've been supporting campus protests, taking over campuses for Hamas, to some for Hamas and people saying that they hope that the hostages never get released by the terrorist organization.
00:13:45.620 It's in the House in terms of how he's attacked me very much following the Democratic style in the states.
00:13:51.080 He seems to want to introduce that into British Columbia.
00:13:53.600 But are they derogatory in the same way that calling someone a groomer is?
00:13:56.800 That's that sort of language you'll have to ask somebody else about, not me.
00:14:00.980 But I do look at it from perspective of David Eby's getting personal.
00:14:04.500 OK.
00:14:04.980 And what's the difference when you're getting personal?
00:14:07.800 What's annoying, too, about this line of questioning is that obviously you can always find something that's more rude, that's more derogatory, that's worse.
00:14:15.860 Well, David Eby might call you a far-right extremist, but, you know, someone once got hit by a car somewhere.
00:14:21.160 It's OK, we get it.
00:14:22.580 But what does that have to do with John Rustett?
00:14:24.640 It's stupid.
00:14:25.320 If you're not going to ask David Eby the same questions about anti-Semitism, don't do this at all.
00:14:31.180 Frankly, David Eby would probably never even show up onto a show like this, even though it'd be pretty friendly to him.
00:14:35.660 I know the guy running it's kind of like a soft progressive conservative.
00:14:38.960 But David Eby would never show up to the show, even if the questions were nice, because he can't present himself in front of the media properly.
00:14:46.680 Everyone, every time he opens his mouth, just comes off more like an incompetent radical hippie.
00:14:51.020 He was never elected.
00:14:51.880 He was just appointed effectively as the new premier because they had a fake NDP leadership race where they told nobody to run against David.
00:14:59.520 And he got acclaimed, even though the guy probably could never actually win a straight up race in a toss up riding.
00:15:05.980 He has to be in the safest of safe ridings out in Vancouver Point Grey and then was just handed the nomination to be leader and then premier of the province.
00:15:15.160 And so far has proven himself to be not more than an academic political like hack.
00:15:22.220 When I say academic political hack, I mean, he likes the theory of policy.
00:15:26.340 But even when the negative consequences of his own policies are right in front of his own face, he doesn't care because, hey, on paper, this study, this study says that actually, if we just double the amount of safe injection sites, everything will suddenly get better.
00:15:39.960 And that's not how it works.
00:15:42.220 I don't know why that has to be pointed out to anyone.
00:15:44.680 But in David Eby's British Columbia, apparently you have to point it out to most of the politicians currently sitting in the legislature.
00:15:52.080 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:15:54.520 I urge you, if you live in B.C., please donate to the B.C. Conservative Party.
00:15:59.640 I'm putting a link for that in the description below.
00:16:01.820 They do not pay me to get money or anything.
00:16:05.600 I do not get a cut of anything.
00:16:06.780 I'm just helping them because I want B.C. to actually have a sane government because that will help the rest of the country be more sane in general.
00:16:14.440 And then if you don't live in B.C., you can donate to my personal legal fund.
00:16:18.440 It's in the description below.
00:16:19.860 The Give, Send, Go link below.
00:16:21.040 We have a billionaire developer suing us for no reason.
00:16:23.780 He's trying to sue us for defamation.
00:16:24.980 And after more than two and a half years, he hasn't even provided a shred of evidence to prove that whatever we said was wrong, defamatory, malicious, or anything.
00:16:33.760 He's just simply trying to bully us because he assumed he could get a fake apology out of us by throwing legal paperwork at myself, who was a 22-year-old at the time that I had to start fighting back on this one.
00:16:44.480 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:16:46.940 Have a good one.
