After a recount, Conservative candidate Jonathan Rau has won the riding of Terra Nova, the Peninsulas, Newfoundland and Labrador, flipping it from the Liberals to the Tories. This is a big day for the Tories, and it's a day to celebrate.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. We have some very good breaking news today for the Conservative Party of Canada, and that is after a judicial recount, the riding of Terra Nova, the Peninsulas, has flipped from the Liberal Party to the Conservative Party.
00:00:16.700On election night, the Liberals had won it by 12 votes, and now after the recount, the Conservative, Jonathan Rau, has won it by 12 votes. So we just had the results color change, but the actual margin did not change.
00:00:32.340This has actually been a very good day for recounts for the Conservatives, or basically non-Liberals. In Nunavut, the riding ended up being held by the NDP after a recount.
00:00:43.460They actually had hundreds of votes to count, and the NDP was only leading by like 40 votes, and after the recount, they were leading by like 41 votes.
00:00:51.520So that one is going to stay in the hands of the NDP. Now, I don't like the NDP, but I'd rather they have it and create chaos in Parliament than the Liberals have it and be closer to a majority.
00:01:02.200And then the Conservative candidate who ended up winning the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore ended up holding on to that riding after the recount by four votes.
00:01:14.260Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, originally on election night, the Conservative had won it by like 250 votes, which in federal politics is not a very big margin at all, but it is certainly bigger than four.
00:01:26.800But that demonstrates if you show up and you vote, sometimes good things happen.
00:01:33.080Because let me be very clear, let's go back to Terranova, the Peninsulas, that was not supposed to be a winnable riding for the Conservatives.
00:01:41.360Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, not supposed to be a winnable riding.
00:01:44.240In fact, guys, this has resulted in one of the things I wanted on election night to happen, and it looked like it hadn't happened because of the Liberals getting Terranova on election night.
00:02:01.760Yes, the Liberals did win ridings on Newfoundland around St. John's, but it's St. John's, it's a bigger city with hipsters in it or whatever, and I guess they all vote Liberal.
00:02:13.380And then Labrador is more Quebecois, so it ended up voting Liberal, whatever.
00:02:17.340But the main part of the island in Newfoundland is the territory I now dub Bluefinland because it is all blue.
00:02:25.300That demonstrates the power of connecting with voters on issues they care about.
00:02:30.880The Conservative Party did an excellent job in Newfoundland because they promised to bring back the seal hunt, which is absolutely required if you want to maintain large fishing stocks.
00:02:41.880And they were going to wipe out the stupid fishing quotas that the Liberals have been implementing that makes what is already a part-time seasonal business in Newfoundland almost impossible to sustain because what you're allowed to catch is so low,
00:02:56.320you may as well just move to a different province and enroll yourself in another industry.
00:03:00.880It was ridiculous. Conservatives did a great job with those people.
00:03:04.160They also did a very good job on crime and drugs, which especially appeals to specific communities like Chinese-Canadian communities in both the Richmonds in Ontario and B.C.
00:03:15.220in Markham and I think another place is Danforth, not Danforth, somewhere else, but there's another heavy Chinese-Canadian populated rioting or city in Canada, Vaughan, there we go.
00:03:29.500The thing is when the Conservatives were actually messaging on those things that mattered to people there, they won.
00:03:34.700But in so many places, I found like they lacked vision and they didn't really, you know, connect with people who were anxious about Trump and America.
00:03:44.380It's not because those were unwinnable voters because they had like their minds wiped by the mainstream media and they were just anxiety voters about Trump.
00:03:52.860It's just because there was no other Conservative message to win them.
00:03:55.580The Conservatives basically just messaged those people with like a generic change message, which I thought was very foolish.
00:04:02.340You need something more than just change when people are scared.
00:04:05.840You have to say, OK, you're scared about the Trump tariffs, but guess who's weakened our economy so much that we're basically here for the taking?
00:04:13.700That was Trudeau and the Liberals, as well as Mark Carney acting as the economic advisor for five years.
00:04:21.720But, you know what, let's not go too deep into that today because it is a day for celebration.
00:04:27.320I think I had some other tabs here I wanted to pull up for you guys to go over some of the fun stuff that's been happening.
00:04:32.880But I actually do want to get to what was actually kind of weird in the Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore recount.
00:04:38.900And this isn't like saying, oh, my goodness, the election's rigged.
00:04:42.100If anything, this should be evidence to you. It's not rigged.
00:04:44.780The recounts went in the direction that Conservatives wanted.
00:04:47.360Even Terrebonne right now, the Liberals won that by one vote.
00:04:51.300But now there's all these elections, Canada issues coming out where they were sending people the wrong returning addresses for their mail-in ballots.
00:05:05.740So that might actually end up going to a by-election as that case is being basically adjudicated in front of the court.
00:05:13.320So all this has actually been going pretty well for the Conservatives.
00:05:16.320But at the same time, people should look into how the liberal swings in these recounts have been so large.
00:05:23.840It's not because something's going on, or at least what's going on is massive incompetence.
00:05:29.620I want all of the votes counted on Election Day, whereas it seems like poll boxes or whatever are not being counted from these very liberal sections of the riding.
00:05:39.400Or maybe it's that liberals are more likely to return mail-in ballots in most cases.
00:05:44.260And so what we're having held back is a bunch of mail-in ballots that are taking weeks to be able to find and then count,
00:05:49.700which opens up people to a lot of understandable suspicion that it looks like, hmm, the liberals see that this riding is within 180 votes.
00:05:58.480How can we find enough liberal votes to win?
00:06:01.440Now, I don't think that's what's going on.
00:06:03.520But when the processes are this incompetent, goodness, people are going to start concluding that.
00:06:08.780And it's really not their fault for concluding it.
00:07:26.460The Green Party lost 331 votes after the recount.
00:07:31.340Now, that's a little insane because so up here is the results on election night after presumably or at the time we presumed all the votes were counted.
00:07:42.940There were 70,000 votes, 70,019 votes, and then it bumped up to 70,138 after the recount.
00:07:55.820And after the recount, they have 468 votes.
00:07:59.960Now, again, what the heck is going on down there?
00:08:03.720That seems almost like someone was deliberately doing something.
00:08:07.020Again, I'm not saying the election's rigged or something like that.
00:08:09.640But at the very least, there probably is some sort of bad actor.
00:08:12.680Maybe it's even a Green Party person who's ended up counting the votes and they're just counting things as Green Party because, you know, screw you, I like the Green Party.
00:08:20.920And if that's going on, that person should be fired and we should be getting to the bottom of this.
00:08:24.560We keep having these stupid anomalies where, yeah, it really wouldn't tip the balance in most ridings.
00:08:30.460But at the same time, we should have every single vote counted accurately.
00:08:36.220Now we have still all of these disputes going on because you have these lodges sending in mail-in ballots for people who were, frankly, mentally incapable of voting or people who didn't have access to their own IDs.
00:08:49.620And somehow a vote which requires access to your ID is being sent in on their behalf or a ballot box of, like, 1,200 or 800 votes is going missing in the B.C. election.
00:08:59.880And then that happened again in the Elections Canada, like, organizing of this election where, like, a box of 822 special ballots went missing.
00:09:11.400And the funny thing is it's like the liberals want people to start saying the election's rigged so then they can run against the fact that their opponents are election deniers.
00:09:19.780When most people are just mad at how poor quality the vote counting is, it's just there's constant slowdowns.
00:09:26.220Polls are taking literally days to finally count, and you're, like, wondering, guys, we're just hand counting.
00:09:32.460How can people not figure out how to do this?
00:09:35.300And so, yeah, I think the liberals are almost incentivized not to fix the problems, not because they're going to win an election because of these problems next time.
00:09:43.420More so they just like messaging against conservatives and be like, oh, they think we have election electoral issues.
00:09:49.340Ergo, you're an election denier, and people should vote for us because the other guys are election deniers.
00:09:54.100That's really the game they're playing here.
00:09:56.800If I can slot something else in this video, so overall, it's very good.
00:10:00.700NDP holds on to Nunavut, I don't know how to say it.
00:10:04.760The conservatives hold on to the Windsor riding.
00:10:08.200Demonstrates how well they did with working class voters, that they ended up winning both Windsor ridings, ridings that the conservatives hadn't won since the 30s or the 50s.
00:10:30.020But one more thing I want to touch on is I loved that video from election night of Jamil Giovanni going after Doug Ford and the fake conservative PC party in Ontario.
00:10:45.160I will, like, always encourage you guys, go and join.
00:10:48.980Go sign up for the email list for the new blue party of Ontario.
00:10:52.300It's not being, like, a purity party like the PPC is where they just get all they're doing is saying the conservatives are just not conservative enough.
00:11:01.100The new blue party is basically saying, hey, that 2018 PC platform was actually pretty good.
00:11:06.660Maybe we should actually implement it.
00:11:08.240So they based a party around actually doing the things the PC party originally said they were going to do back in 2018 and completely dropped it because they've just determined they don't need conservative voters to actually win.
00:11:19.700They'll just win by getting a bunch of crossover liberals to show up for them.
00:11:23.600But Jamil Giovanni, a great new MP, he is fantastic.
00:11:27.840He was technically already an MP from Durham, but that was, like, only a year of him being the MP for Durham.
00:11:34.020And now he's, I think, like, Beaumont or something like that.
00:11:37.940He's the MP for, but he did not get a shadow cabinet position.
00:11:43.980I don't know who is advising here, Paulio, to not give Jamil Giovanni a cabinet position.
00:11:50.020He's now pushing this great petition to end the current TFW structure, just eliminate the TFW program, maybe replace it with something reasonable where it only applies to high-skill temporary foreign workers and not low-skill workers who end up working at fast food restaurants.
00:12:05.840He's a great advocate for real conservative positions.
00:12:11.660And I see in shadow cabinet right now there's a bunch of people I just think are complete clowns.
00:12:16.820Most of the people in the conservative party and the shadow cabinet are great.
00:12:20.380There's really great people in the shadow cabinet.
00:12:22.560But then you get people like, let's just say it, Jisraj Halan, who admitted to at one point not that long ago being a gangster, and then he also, I apparently heard, faked having an accounting degree.
00:12:36.200So he's now our finance shadow critic, despite the fact that the man doesn't actually have any background in, like, accounting or finance or anything.
00:13:37.020At the same time, he needs people around him who will let him be the best version of himself because there are people around him like Jenny Byrne and other individuals who more so shadow Jenny Byrne who just always want to risk manage.
00:15:11.160It's like 40 minutes of me talking about MLAs in the BC Conservative Party, Conservative, attacking me, because they're woke.
00:15:19.080By the way, most people in the BC Conservative Party, the MLAs, are good people, but they are being held hostage by the stupidity and spinelessness of John Rustad,
00:15:28.560who lets basically the few woke MLAs completely run the caucus.
00:15:33.700See, I keep going into new rants, but that's just, again, what happens here on the show.
