Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt here, and I just wanted to make a quick video on what is going on in British Columbia provincial politics,
00:00:08.180 because it's been absolutely wild, and not one aspect of all the crazy change going on has gone the way of BC NDP Premier David Eby.
00:00:19.040 His party, at least in my opinion, from my perspective, is on the ropes.
00:00:23.720 Because I had been advocating for the last several months that a merger between BC United and the BC Conservatives would not be good for anybody.
00:00:33.240 It would end up just having more of the people who drove the BC United Party into the ground,
00:00:38.700 joining the Conservatives, and then probably watering down the campaign and, you know, doing a lot of damage.
00:00:44.280 And with Kevin Falcon just basically saying, we're not going to run anymore, you know, go vote BC Conservative, that's perfect.
00:00:50.940 That's perfect. None of the incompetent people from BC United are encouraged to come and join and help out on the campaign for the Conservatives.
00:00:58.460 We can just keep doing our thing over in the BC Conservative camp. That's great.
00:01:03.880 And we can actually push on to victory. We don't have to make any stupid compromises over policy.
00:01:08.880 We can just keep focusing on the policies people have been liking that have been pushing us up in the polls.
00:01:13.820 So that's great. It was also just kind of funny to see Kevin Falcon almost just through online teasing,
00:01:20.060 just basically saying, yep, I'm out of here. I'm going to pack it in, guys.
00:01:25.240 Didn't ask for, like, a cabinet position, not going to run again.
00:01:28.780 He just kind of got on the phone with his caucus saying, yeah, we're, you know, we're going to pack it in.
00:01:33.900 And even they're like, well, you should resign first.
00:01:36.040 And he says, no.
00:01:37.920 And then just kind of hangs up the phone, walks out into a press conference,
00:01:41.200 and stands behind John Rustad, the man he kicked out of the party, the BC United Party, a year ago,
00:01:47.120 or a year and a half ago, and is now conceding that John Rustad is the only person who can save the province.
00:01:53.460 And, again, this has all been horrible for the BC NDP and David Eby,
00:01:58.040 because they wanted to make this whole hoopla, this whole kit and caboodle over the fact that,
00:02:03.340 oh, the United and the Conservatives are coming together to merge,
00:02:06.100 and all the lobbyists and consultants are coming after us because we're pure socialists fighting capitalist dogs or something like that.
00:02:12.340 Whatever David Eby would say, he's a complete nutcase.
00:02:14.940 That didn't happen.
00:02:16.180 Just United said we can't win, so we're leaving.
00:02:18.600 And because of the Falcon endorsement, I think that we're actually going to get way more of the United voter base coming over to the Conservatives
00:02:25.400 than we would have if the party just stopped existing without the endorsement.
00:02:29.240 Because the problem with the United base, and this is always something you've got to be careful with,
00:02:32.880 just because they're not the NDP, if they go away, that doesn't exactly benefit the Conservatives.
00:02:38.160 I would say that, if anything, there was more federal Liberals who were voting BC United than there were still federal Conservatives.
00:02:44.700 So, if the party just went away, good chance a lot of those people would then go vote BC NDP.
00:02:49.720 But the Falcon endorsement, I think, loosens it up a bit to where I think we're going to now capture more than 50%
00:02:55.660 of the BC United's voter base who doesn't just stay home.
00:02:59.020 A lot of them probably will stay home, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
00:03:02.780 Because I think, right now, the Conservatives have a very good chance when it comes to just winning on turnout.
00:03:08.560 Because some new polls are out, and, of course, I'm always talking about polls.
00:03:12.140 The polls are, can I just say, amazing?
00:03:16.080 I've already talked about the two previous polls from Main Street, and then I think the other one from, it doesn't really matter.
00:03:22.460 But one of them showed the BC Conservatives up three, and one of them showed the BC Conservatives up by one.
00:03:29.080 Both of those polls have been consistently showing an upward trend.
00:03:33.200 This has been very good for the Conservatives.
00:03:35.000 But what's even better is just today, Angus Reid released a poll.
00:03:39.520 Now, I'm going to take you back on a little bit of, you know, a time machine journey three months ago.
00:03:44.760 Angus Reid released a poll three months ago in May.
00:03:47.840 This isn't January, this isn't February, this isn't, like, months and months and months ago.
00:03:51.520 This is just a few months ago, May.
00:03:54.480 Angus Reid put out a poll where the BC NDP and David Eby had an 11-point lead, an 11-point lead over the BC Conservatives.
00:04:02.020 So it was, like, 42 to, like, 31.
00:04:04.800 It was horrific for the BC Conservatives if the election was about to happen.
00:04:09.520 I knew that those numbers weren't going to stay, so I wasn't, you know, too panicked about it.
00:04:13.720 Yeah, a lot of the pollsters take a little bit more time to catch up to the trends.
00:04:16.760 Different polling methodologies and sampling styles tend to capture different voters.
00:04:21.520 But the new poll that they just released, and now fast forward to today, is BC Conservatives are up one point on the BC NDP.
00:04:30.180 So since Angus Reid's last poll, there has been a 12-point swing towards the BC Conservatives.
00:04:38.040 That's insane.
00:04:38.680 And I know there's all those polling, like, those seat projection models some people are putting out, usually more on the left, saying,
00:04:45.520 well, even if the BC NDP are down one or two points, they can still win on seats by, like, three, four, or five seats.
00:04:52.200 It's like, no, no, because what you guys are doing is the same mistake that American pollsters make every single election.
00:04:58.420 There are some good American pollsters.
00:05:00.180 A lot of them are push polls because there's so much money in American politics.
00:05:03.660 Parties do indeed pay for push polls.
00:05:06.660 A poll showing you so far ahead to try and demoralize the other side,
00:05:10.160 or show you neck and neck, even though you're really far down, to try and get your voters out.
00:05:14.940 But a lot of the mistakes these people are making by doing models is they're assuming the people who showed up last time are going to be showing up this time.
00:05:23.760 So the same demographic group, same demographies, every single different person, like, every single person who showed up and voted last time,
00:05:31.280 that's the exact same group of people who's going to show up and vote this time.
00:05:34.840 It's simple.
00:05:35.960 Different elections have different results, and it's partially based on who chooses to show up and vote.
00:05:42.040 It's not the same 60% of people showing up to vote every single election.
00:05:47.340 A John Horgan NDP voter is very different from a David Eby NDP voter,
00:05:52.220 and this is where I want to get into the other terrible thing going on for the BC NDP.
00:05:58.040 The crack pipe vending machine.
00:06:00.640 That's lightening a bottle for the BC Conservatives.
00:06:03.260 Rightfully so.
00:06:03.980 That's insane.
00:06:05.060 We just have, you know, illicit drug, you know, smoking and, like, snorting tools
00:06:10.300 being given out in vending machines in front of ERs.
00:06:13.220 That's insane.
00:06:14.220 We have the Mission Memorial ER closing, I think, for, like, the sixth or seventh time in just a few weeks.
00:06:21.020 It's insane.
00:06:21.700 And their MLA in that area, their NDP MLA for Abbotsford Mission,
00:06:25.860 Pam Alexis, can't even acknowledge it happened.
00:06:28.220 I think one time it closed, she says,
00:06:30.180 Thanks for the call, Frazier Health, quote, tweeting them saying that we've just notified all authorities about the closure.
00:06:35.640 That's all she said.
00:06:36.620 They have nothing.
00:06:37.460 Every, their record's bad.
00:06:39.000 And David Eby, because he has terrible political instincts,
00:06:42.380 I think the only person with worse political instincts in BC politics than David Eby,
00:06:47.540 who's currently in office,
00:06:48.960 is Ravi Parmar, who is the replacement NDP MLA in Juan de Fuca to replace John Horgan.
00:06:55.280 Ravi Parmar has the political timing of a bowling ball going through a plate glass window.
00:07:01.820 He's terrible.
00:07:02.740 But David Eby is, like, right up there with him.
00:07:05.380 So David Eby, in the midst of all this radical garbage,
00:07:08.500 their terrible record and performance on many issues,
00:07:11.540 it's not just that they have a more radical perspective,
00:07:14.380 it's that the results suck.
00:07:16.120 The results plainly suck.
00:07:18.100 And David Eby is now coming out and saying,
00:07:20.340 well, you can't vote for the conservatives because they're radical.
00:07:23.940 They might do some crazy stuff.
00:07:26.360 What?
00:07:27.280 This is like if we're in the Soviet Union
00:07:29.640 and Stalin is the current premier of the USSR,
00:07:34.340 and then someone, like, proposes maybe getting rid of them,
00:07:37.560 and then you say, like, well, you know,
00:07:40.060 someone else more radical might get in than Stalin.
00:07:43.260 I'm like, okay, yeah, maybe there's a Pol Pot in Russia
00:07:45.960 sitting somewhere around the corners,
00:07:47.980 but we're as bad as it could possibly get.
00:07:50.800 David Eby is as bad as you could possibly get.
00:07:54.500 So, like, trying to scare BC residents into thinking that
00:07:57.820 John Rustad might cut, you know, healthcare spending.
00:08:01.440 He might push your grandmother down the stairs.
00:08:03.040 No one believes it.
00:08:03.860 No one believes he's actually going to do something like that.
00:08:06.160 No government, since the federal liberals under Kretchen,
00:08:09.320 have cut healthcare spending.
00:08:11.040 It's because, like, and that only was happening
00:08:13.160 because we were in a massive debt crisis.
00:08:14.560 If we don't want to run into that
00:08:17.500 where we have to cut healthcare spending,
00:08:18.860 we need a conservative government
00:08:19.820 who can manage the budget better,
00:08:21.200 and that doesn't require any cutting to healthcare spending.
00:08:23.780 It just means we have to cut garbage.
00:08:26.480 Just nonsense.
00:08:28.400 DEI crap.
00:08:29.500 We just need that stuff out.
00:08:31.160 We need the carbon tax regime
00:08:32.780 and all the administration that goes along with it out.
00:08:34.880 We need the massive amounts of just nonsensical digging holes
00:08:39.800 just to fill them in type public jobs gotten rid of.
00:08:42.420 There's a lot of garbage that we can get rid of easily
00:08:44.820 to actually balance this budget
00:08:46.400 and start paying down the provincial debt.
00:08:48.060 Cut taxes.
00:08:48.840 If we reduce personal income taxes,
00:08:51.100 business income taxes,
00:08:52.280 across the board,
00:08:53.280 we will actually bring in more revenue
00:08:54.700 because BC is so overtaxed,
00:08:56.720 we are chasing people out of the province.
00:08:58.620 But I want to talk a little bit more
00:09:00.660 about just David Eby as a person now
00:09:02.340 because it's almost like the BC Conservatives,
00:09:05.560 like if John Rustad,
00:09:06.680 I could believe John Rustad's a wizard.
00:09:08.980 He forced Falcon to kick him out of the BC United Caucus
00:09:12.600 so then he could become the Conservative leader
00:09:14.060 and have a lot of momentum
00:09:15.540 and inject some new entry into BC politics.
00:09:19.340 And he must have also been the one behind
00:09:21.220 getting David Eby in
00:09:23.520 as the new NDP leader after John Horgan.
00:09:26.520 He got the NDP to foolishly appoint him
00:09:29.200 as the new NDP leader
00:09:30.460 and Premier of the province.
00:09:32.620 He's literally an acclaimed Premier.
00:09:34.760 It's so sad.
00:09:36.040 He is the worst.
00:09:37.440 Nobody likes him.
00:09:38.220 And this is the problem for the NDP.
00:09:40.860 They can try and fear monger about,
00:09:43.140 oh, this BC Conservative candidate
00:09:44.640 said this thing five years ago.
00:09:46.140 Guys, who cares?
00:09:47.400 Guys, who cares?
00:09:48.200 Our current Premier is a crazy person.
00:09:51.260 He's actually insane.
00:09:53.040 He does not know what he's doing.
00:09:55.080 His only prescription in any time of crisis,
00:09:59.940 and whenever there's a problem,
00:10:00.960 he just wants to do the same policies more with more money.
00:10:04.820 He's a nutcase.
00:10:06.360 The guy also just has no charisma.
00:10:08.400 David Eby walks around.
00:10:10.020 I have bad posture.
00:10:11.560 And he makes me look like I can walk perfectly straight
00:10:14.180 and carry a book on my head.
00:10:15.800 Because that guy walks around like he's Gumby mixed with a vulture.
00:10:19.220 The guy doesn't have any charisma.
00:10:20.620 His only claim to fame is beating Christy Clark in the 2013 provincial election,
00:10:26.420 which is not difficult.
00:10:28.420 Christy Clark is just the provincial version of Kim Campbell.
00:10:33.560 It's not difficult.
00:10:34.720 So the NDP acclaimed him because of his claim to fame
00:10:37.980 that he took out the former Premier,
00:10:40.520 the former Liberal Premier of British Columbia in an election.
00:10:44.640 David Eby barely got any more votes than any other NDP candidates
00:10:48.060 ever gotten in Point Grey.
00:10:49.780 All of Gordon Campbell's opponents usually were around the 10,000 vote mark.
00:10:55.320 I think David Eby got 11,000 votes.
00:10:57.320 He did not actually increase the appeal of the NDP in that riding.
00:11:01.780 But he just won by default because Kim Campbell,
00:11:04.200 not Kim Campbell,
00:11:05.360 Christy Clark is the worst.
00:11:07.580 And now they think that because David Eby beat the worst possible person,
00:11:12.980 that that means that he's like going to be a unifier
00:11:15.540 and he can reach out to the moderate middle class.
00:11:18.160 He's not a moderate.
00:11:18.820 He was just in the right place at the right time running against the worst Premier possible.
00:11:24.260 Like, Ujjal Dessange was the last NDP Premier to lose an election.
00:11:29.620 But you could say that Ujjal Dessange has real virtues.
00:11:32.720 A lot of flaws, but some virtues too.
00:11:35.040 David Eby doesn't have any virtues to run as a person.
00:11:37.260 He's a career, useless person.
00:11:40.540 He is a freeloader.
00:11:41.860 He is somebody who's just worked for government-funded and active-funded organizations,
00:11:46.260 making problems worse.
00:11:47.520 He's never solved a problem for anybody.
00:11:49.220 He's never done anything for anybody.
00:11:51.300 Maybe he's helped an old lady walk across the street one time.
00:11:54.720 Maybe.
00:11:55.180 I don't even know about that.
00:11:56.180 But overall, his entire career at the Pivot Legal Society and working in government has
00:12:00.660 only been to make problems worse, demonize people actually doing a good job, and make
00:12:07.400 unvert you signaling.
00:12:08.480 He's an idiot.
00:12:09.280 He's horrible.
00:12:10.140 He is anti-police.
00:12:11.480 He's trying to chase every single person who has any money left out of British Columbia.
00:12:15.280 He thinks that the way that we end up creating more affordable housing is just demanding that
00:12:21.120 people provide the housing for cheaper.
00:12:23.500 It's just 18-year-old sociology-type solutions to problems.
00:12:28.860 This is stupid.
00:12:30.680 This is a stupid premier, and this is why British Columbians need to vote for the Conservatives.
00:12:35.220 I assume every single one of you watching this video right now is going to, but reach
00:12:39.080 out to friends, neighbors.
00:12:41.180 The BCNDP has a massive money advantage because the one thing that David Eby is very good
00:12:45.160 at is government corruption.
00:12:47.100 And so he has made it that all of the incumbent parties, they all get $1, I think, $56 per
00:12:53.320 vote that they got in the last election.
00:12:55.160 And they get that taxpayer handout every year on the year.
00:12:59.660 So for four years, the BCNDP has been able to get $1.56 per vote that they got in the 2020
00:13:06.120 election.
00:13:07.080 The Conservatives technically get it too, but they only had like less than 50,000 votes.
00:13:11.080 They had nothing.
00:13:11.760 So they don't get very much money at all.
00:13:13.160 And the BCNDP, and I believe it's that if you get more than 10% in a riding, you get
00:13:17.860 33% of your money back.
00:13:19.540 It's just to advantage incumbents and make their governments and parties more rigid in
00:13:24.400 the polls.
00:13:25.260 The BCNDP, nobody likes them, but they have a lot of money.
00:13:28.520 So guys, if you live in BC, I'm going to link the Abbotsford South EDA in the description
00:13:34.380 below.
00:13:34.760 That's where I'm the campaign manager for Bruce Bandman.
00:13:37.620 Just donate at least $100 to it.
00:13:39.780 You get 75% of your money back up to $100, 50% of it up to $550, and 33% up to $1450,
00:13:47.480 I believe.
00:13:48.440 If you, you got to donate because the BC Conservatives are at a money disadvantage.
00:13:52.940 Money does not, like, money doesn't basically guide political outcomes.
00:13:57.480 It helps a little bit, but it doesn't guide them.
00:13:59.740 This is truly a test between grassroots campaigning and a bloated, overfunded socialist trade unionist
00:14:07.320 party.
00:14:08.100 But the money does help.
00:14:09.440 So make sure you donate.
00:14:11.000 Go to see that, the link in the description below.
00:14:13.100 What we're going to do is we're going to make sure Abbotsford South is fully funded.
00:14:15.920 It's not going to be that difficult.
00:14:17.160 Our United candidate that we are up against already dropped out.
00:14:20.900 And so what we're going to do is just take a small bit of the money, and then we're going
00:14:24.020 to package the rest up and send it out to other ridings that need it, where there is
00:14:27.960 a chance to be able to get rid of an NDP incumbent, or put in a BC Conservative candidate to replace
00:14:34.480 a United MLA who's retiring.
00:14:36.980 So yeah, everything's going very well.
00:14:38.660 Just make sure to do your part so we can actually, you know, get David Eby out of office.
00:14:42.580 He's the worst.
00:14:43.460 He's the worst.
00:14:44.120 And if we all don't try really hard right now, and we can't be that upset if we're
00:14:48.780 going to have to try and move in the next year or two because the BC NDP got back in.
00:14:52.920 Anyways, see you guys all later.
00:14:54.860 You can also check out my website in the description below, wyattclaypool.com, sign up on to the
00:14:59.240 organizing list I have nationally, and I'll see you guys later.
