The BC NDP is using John Horgan's cancer diagnosis as an excuse to get more voters to sign up for a list of potential candidates to target in the upcoming fall election. I don t think you could find a stronger indication that British Columbia Premier David Eby and the BC NDP know that John Rotheray's Conservatives can beat them than the desperate things the NDP are doing to mine data to find new voters.
00:00:00.000I don't think you could find a stronger indication that British Columbia Premier David Eby and his BC NDP party know that John Rested's conservatives can beat them in the fall election than the very desperate things that the NDP are doing in order to mine data.
00:00:15.740They know a lot of people in the province do not like them, so they need their data lists to be as full as humanly possible to find more voters to market to, because their current base of people are really only voting for them because they assumed that the BC NDP were going to win, and as more people figure out that the conservatives are a viable option, they are quickly migrating.
00:00:36.200That's what happened to BC United once people knew that the BC conservatives were a real thing, they all left, and now there's a lot of NDP voters who are blue-collar who line up far more with the style of John Rested, who are wondering why they'd ever vote for this random protester who happens to be Premier David Eby.
00:00:53.020But right now, the NDP are currently using the relapsing cancer diagnosis of their former leader and Premier, John Horgan, to mine data to email people.
00:01:04.240It's pretty disgusting, they're doing this whole, you know, tell John Horgan, you're rooting for him, you know, he's a fighter for us, so we want to cheer him on in his latest battle with cancer.
00:01:13.880And, you know, I obviously hope that John Horgan recovers, he's a good guy, you know, I wouldn't have voted for him, I'm a conservative.
00:01:20.060But, you know, he's a more populist NDP guy who doesn't absolutely screw over the working class through higher taxes on everything, you know, higher crime, drugs everywhere and whatnot, the way David Eby does.
00:01:33.080And right here at the bottom of this page, where you can give them your information, it says,
00:01:38.000the information you share with us may be used to keep you updated about this and other BC NDP activities in accordance with our privacy policies.
00:01:46.780And their privacy policies pretty much just read, we will use your data for whatever we want.
00:01:52.540I'm going to go off on a limb and say that you're mostly not going to get emails if you sign up onto this list about John Horgan.
00:01:58.640You're probably mostly just going to get emails asking for money, or to, you know, forget about all the terrible things the BC NDP have done in the past,
00:02:07.340because, hey, we have a bunch of big bloated new initiatives that aren't going to help you, but they sound fun and sparkly.
00:02:14.240And so what I want to sort of jump into is just, one, how much this demonstrates that the BC NDP knows that they're in a vulnerable position.
00:02:24.260It doesn't matter that they're ahead in most of the polls.
00:02:26.840The problem with the NDP right now is they're relying on what we call soft support.
00:02:33.060People who thought, like the last election, because most people don't really clue into what's going on in the election until the Ritz dropped and they, you know,
00:02:40.560it starts coming on the news a lot. So most people are still saying to pollsters,
00:02:44.520I'm going to vote NDP because they're still thinking in the mind and the frame of the last election between the BC NDP and the BC Liberals,
00:02:51.840two parties that are effectively interchangeable.
00:02:54.520But when John Horgan was running the NDP, they were considered a much better option than the BC Liberals under Christy Clark or whoever the leader was in the last election.
00:03:03.880I think it was still Kevin Falcon. It was still Kevin Falcon. Oh, goodness, they're still running that guy.
00:03:08.540It's sad. Or are they? I don't even know. The BC Liberals and United are so irrelevant to this point.
00:03:13.380I don't even care to remember the details.
00:03:15.420But a lot of people, once they realize that the BC Conservatives are the true contenders with the NDP,
00:03:21.440because the BC Conservatives were effectively not a real party a year ago,
00:03:24.920a lot of people are going to start shifting. And the BC NDP knows this.
00:03:28.460Just look at the polling. And this is mostly only going to be tracking a certain portion of people paying attention.
00:03:35.140That when in midway through 2023, we see the BC Conservatives go from less than 10% of support all the way up to now being in about the mid to low 30s.
00:03:46.700The BC NDP are riding a little bit above 40% on average.
00:03:50.780But as you can see with the little dots, they have pulled lower.
00:03:53.900And in some cases, the BC Conservatives have pulled higher than them.
00:03:56.940The BC NDP might run into the problem that the Labour Party did in the UK.
00:04:02.560While the Labour Party won a massive majority, that's only because they were running against the Tories who nobody liked,
00:04:08.920and reform didn't really have enough runway in order to take off and rise higher than what they got with 14% of the vote.
00:04:15.880So the Labour Party won a big stinking majority government with only 34% of the vote.
00:04:21.480The problem for the BC NDP is people very much like the BC Conservatives and they are quickly moving over to them.
00:04:28.400But what I suspect will happen is that the BC NDP, while they have support, their support is going to be very soft and it's going to be very unlikely to show up in the same percentages that the BC Conservatives' base is going to show up in.
00:04:42.260And now we have the BC NDP doing more and more desperate things in their marketing, basically saying that we're fighting back against the parties of the rich,
00:04:51.740which is the BC Conservatives and the BC United pretending that the United is even still in the conversation here,
00:04:57.720even though when you see in the polling, they're actually starting to fall below the BC Greens in some of the polling.
00:05:03.820The latest poll put them in fourth place decisively, four points behind the BC Greens.
00:05:09.180But now what we have going on is these ads, I'm going to bring it up on here for a second,
00:05:14.440where the BC NDP is trying to push this idea that they're the ones fighting back against the rich.
00:05:21.940And John Rustad and Kevin Falcon are getting in the way, even though they do not have the power to stop EB from doing anything he wants.
00:05:28.440With respect to Kevin Falcon and John Rustad and their suggestion that our tax on luxury cars,
00:05:39.100that our tax on homes above $3 million, that our tax on the top 2% of income earners in British Columbia
00:05:47.880are taxes that they would roll back, that our tax on speculators that own two, three, four homes and are leaving them vacant,
00:05:55.740that our tax on tobacco products to discourage people from using tobacco.
00:06:06.080Sorry about that few second delay and then a jump back to me talking again.
00:06:10.600The internet I'm using is very unstable, so I had to pause it and then restart recording it after a second there.
00:06:16.140But you get the picture of what David Eby is trying to do.
00:11:18.580You can't get up in front of the line because, one, he kicked out all the unvaccinated nurses and doctors.
00:11:24.580And then, two, David Eby also just decided that, you know, who cares about actually increasing capacity?
00:11:31.160Let's just keep spending on stupid drug programs rather than actually expanding real healthcare and incarcerating people selling drugs.
00:11:38.020Let's actually have the government become a drug dealer.
00:11:40.300Well, that should be it for me today, guys, though.
00:11:45.440If you want to donate to the British Columbia Conservatives and you live in BC, I will have a link in the description below for their donation page.
00:11:53.240I will emphasize, I'm someone who, I live in Alberta, so I can't donate to them.
00:11:57.580Anytime I've been involved in a campaign or wanted somebody to win a race, I, even when I have not had a lot of money, have donated sometimes thousands of dollars to a campaign to get it off the ground.
00:12:08.180If you guys have the capacity to give $100, you get a 75% tax credit back in BC.
00:12:14.020I am not paid by the Conservatives to promote them.
00:12:16.180I am not paid to get you to donate to them.
00:12:18.160I am merely promoting that you donate to them because if you want to pay lower tax in the long run, you want better education for your kids, you want lower crime, you want all of that good stuff.
00:12:27.820At some point, you've got to donate yourself and not expect that somebody else is going to donate on your behalf.
00:12:32.560In the last quarter, the BC Conservatives went from only raising about $400,000 in the first quarter to raising $1.1 million in the second quarter, a massive increase.
00:12:43.100The BC United Party has absolutely collapsed in its fundraising between the first and second quarter of 2024, but the BC NDP still raised $2 million in the second quarter.
00:12:52.360So for the BC Conservatives to fight a really good fight for the province to get David Eby out of office, consider donating because if you don't donate, nobody else is, and they need a war chest in order to get rid of the NDP.
00:13:05.320It can't simply just be through social media advertising and a few photo ops here and there.
00:13:19.880If you don't live in BC, you can donate to my legal fund in the description below, the Give, Send, Go link for my legal fund.
00:13:26.920And then you can also sign up on my website, wyatclaypool.com, if you want local race suggestions on who to vote for for nominations, both provincially and federally, as well as different parties you can get involved in.
00:13:39.000It might be that I basically never email you because you live up in the Northwest Territories.
00:13:42.640I don't have much to say about the Northwest Territories, but this allows me to reach out to small groups of you guys.
00:13:48.280So if I know about a nomination race going on in, let's name a riding, I guess, we'll say Yukon or whatever, and there's four people running, and you want a suggestion, and I go through all their bios and check out who's good, who's not good, and I can say, well, this is how I would vote.
00:14:03.280Or people can even email me in suggestions at wyatclaypool.com, and I can then share that with other people in your postal code area so that you can kind of unify and collectivize around actual good conservative candidates who are going to make real change.
00:14:20.360Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:14:23.000Sorry this video has been very choppy at times.
00:14:29.340So as I'm filming, I see, like, the Wi-Fi bar come up on screen showing it's going from three bars to two bars to one, and I'm like, oh, goodness, the video's going to get fuzzy.
00:14:37.400Pause, you know, restart the tab, and then start filming again.
