Ahoy everyone, Wyatt Claypool here back on the whiteboard one final time for the Calgary Mayoral Race.
00:00:08.580
I lied. The last video was not my last polling video.
00:00:12.140
This one is going to be, and this one is more interesting than the previous one.
00:00:17.660
So, the previous poll I put out was the Janet Brown poll that was 27% Jeremy Farkas,
00:00:25.460
23% Sonia Sharp, and 23% Jody Gondek, and then you had, like, Davison at 16 and Thiessen at 8.
00:00:34.420
But I want to update you guys on an internal number that Sonia Sharp's campaign has right now
00:00:41.200
on where the race currently sits right before Election Day.
00:00:46.420
This, what I'm about to show you, basically means it's a turnout election.
00:00:49.740
If you live in Calgary and you don't want a woke progressive as mayor, go out and vote for Sonia Sharp.
00:00:57.160
I am just openly in favor of her campaign because she actually has good policies.
00:01:01.700
Jeremy Farkas, the old one, somehow died in a car crash we didn't hear about,
00:01:05.940
and now we have this crazy, bizarro, woke version of him.
00:01:10.180
And, of course, the current mayor, Jody Gondek, is still awful.
00:01:13.500
So, right now, we have, in the new poll that they just released internally,
00:01:21.440
we have Farkas, Gondek, and Sharp pretty close in the polls.
00:01:35.360
Well, right now, we have Jeremy Farkas sitting at 25%.
00:01:44.720
And then, we have Gondek at, drumroll everyone, 25%.
00:01:58.040
You know, and three guesses what Sonia Sharp is currently at.
00:02:15.920
I'm not sure who's doing their internal polling.
00:02:18.420
Maybe it's Mark Henry with Think HQ because he's kind of associated with them.
00:02:22.260
But I don't think he actually does as much day-to-day work as people think.
00:02:28.920
These are very realistic numbers based on every poll that's come out.
00:02:32.400
Based on the Janet Brown poll, who is the best pollster in the entire country,
00:02:37.060
this is a pretty realistic way for this whole race to finish.
00:02:40.640
And then, you also had, to fill in the blanks here,
00:02:54.420
which means that he's fallen down into last place,
00:03:01.380
That's not like, oh, well, he's being put into last place in her internal numbers
00:03:08.740
It just depends on if he's coming in fourth place or fifth place.
00:03:12.460
Jeff Davison's team does not have any organization.
00:03:16.160
Yesterday, they just blew a bunch of money at McMahon Stadium
00:03:18.620
having some drones display vote Davison in the air.
00:03:33.380
And right now, you have Jeff Davison pretending to be conservative
00:03:40.280
as Jody Gondek from when he was a counselor between 2017 and 2021.
00:03:47.520
Literally voted against every single cost savings measure.
00:03:53.740
And for some reason, his team, despite knowing he is at or around 10%,
00:04:00.040
even if we are to be generous and go back to the Janet Brown poll,
00:04:04.020
the most accurate pollster in Canada, saying he's at 16.
00:04:07.380
I kind of doubt it, though, because Brian Thiessen, she said he was at 8.
00:04:10.340
I can see a lot of people not knowing who Brian Thiessen is,
00:04:13.620
but Brian Thiessen is going to do better on turnout
00:04:15.880
because municipal elections tend to be lower turnout elections.
00:04:19.380
He'll do better simply because he has the Calgary party
00:04:24.860
whereas Jeff Davison kind of has the ABC party promoting him.
00:04:28.480
But the thing is that the ABC candidates are probably not going to win anywhere,
00:04:34.200
whereas a Calgary party candidate conceivably will win in a few of the wards,
00:04:40.500
But even if I was to pretend Jeff Davison has that 16,
00:04:45.780
You think he's going to double his support in the last week of the campaign?
00:04:52.940
and I don't think that vote Davison in the air with your own
00:04:58.020
And the thing is, I've had a lot of people beforehand saying,
00:05:05.460
but you have people saying, well, Farkas in the Janet Brown poll is at 27,
00:05:14.540
Well, if we want to keep Gondek out, we have to vote for Farkas.
00:05:32.980
Okay, so voting for somebody who is just doing the same thing as Gondek
00:05:54.900
We can just put the big N next to Gondek's name,
00:05:58.740
and we can put another N next to Farkas's name.
00:06:09.860
Check out my endorsement list for the rest of the campaign.
00:06:12.740
I'll even bring it up on screen a little bit later
00:06:17.120
I actually did add somebody for Ward 5 and 8 school board,
00:06:24.000
of a good candidate for school board in that area.
00:06:35.760
And, again, Sonia, I've had people nitpicker to death,
00:07:06.300
that the tax freeze rhetoric from him is silly,
00:07:16.340
Now, that may not mean that she can reduce taxes
00:07:53.160
will actually name an amount of police officers.
