Summary

Press Progress is a far-left, pro-communist outlet who pretends like they somehow represent the moderate Canadian opinion on various social issues, and they go after Conservatives, implying that you said something disgusting or hateful, based on out-of- context quotes or expert opinion that comes out and reframes normal conservative opinion as being somehow far-right and intolerable. In this episode, I talk about how to deal with the far-Left cancel culture mob, and how to respond to them.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 As many of you may already know, I, Wyatt Claypool, a principal conservative, am running for the Conservative Party nomination for the riding of Calgary Signal Hill.
00:00:08.720 I've filled out most of the paperwork, and I'm going to be submitting it fairly soon.
00:00:12.800 Hopefully, I'm approved to run on the ballot, and hopefully Conservative Party members end up selecting me to be the federal Conservative Party representative for the riding.
00:00:21.260 And, you know, if you live in the riding, or you know someone who lives in the riding, I have my website linked in the description of this video below.
00:00:26.800 And you can also donate even if you don't live in the riding, but this is really not what this video is about.
00:00:32.580 This video is about me responding to Press Progress trying to smear me in an upcoming article in which this video is a response to.
00:00:39.620 This video is also an instructional video on how to deal with the far-left cancel culture mob, because that's basically what's happening to me in real time here.
00:00:48.920 So, basically, do this.
00:00:50.800 Press Progress is a far-left, pro-communist outlet who pretends like they somehow represent the moderate Canadian opinion on various social issues, and they go after Conservatives, implying that you said something disgusting or hateful, based on out-of-context quotes or expert opinion that comes out and basically reframes normal Conservative opinion as being somehow far-right and intolerable.
00:01:14.680 Let me just lay out something right now.
00:01:17.120 Parental rights in Canada polls extremely well in terms of people being in favour of it.
00:01:22.340 It's anywhere from 60% to over 80%, depending on the province.
00:01:27.660 It's just the concept that parents should have just transparency when it comes to their children in the classroom.
00:01:32.480 They should know the lesson plans and curriculums that are being taught in the schools, and that if a child is going to change gender pronouns and whatnot, that a parent should be given affirmative consent before that's being done, or at least they should be given the transparency to know that that's going on.
00:01:48.100 There shouldn't be secrets held from parents in the classrooms between children and teachers.
00:01:52.620 That's a very kind of dubious and potentially dangerous situation to have, where there's a disconnect in communication between the teacher and the child and the parents and the child.
00:02:02.980 That's not something that should ever be going on.
00:02:05.180 But because I defended Pierre Polyev, like, you know, going after gender theory in the classroom, an eminently popular position that gender theory and other sorts of far-left social theory should not be taught in the classroom,
00:02:16.740 that because I defended him, and I defended him specifically from Press Progress' smears, this means that I also might be transphobic and homophobic.
00:02:25.940 So Luke LeBrun from Press Progress sends me this email right here, basically saying that I'm somehow being mean or I'm somehow being inaccurate or transphobic or whatever,
00:02:35.960 because I said it was a fringe hypothetical and a one in a million that parental rights would result in any child being abused at home.
00:02:43.800 I even mentioned the fact, of course, they do not actually cite this in the email, that any parent who would abuse their child is disgusting,
00:02:50.640 and that we already have child services and laws to protect children against that.
00:02:54.320 The concept of parental rights and parents being able to know what's going on in the classroom is not affecting any of this.
00:02:59.460 But they are trying to make some sort of hypothetical scare campaign in order to push back against parental rights,
00:03:05.940 which, again, is an extremely popular position in Canada that parental rights should be respected.
00:03:11.480 But they go on in this email, and they basically use the exact same tactics they use against Pure Polyev against me,
00:03:18.580 where they basically say, you know, LGBTQ plus advocates told us that you're somehow being like, you know, transphobic or bigoted,
00:03:26.560 and you're pushing misinformation that's dangerous and whatnot.
00:03:29.720 And what I wanted to do is find out who these people are that they're even citing,
00:03:34.000 because I assumed they're probably going to cite the exact same people that they cited in the article against Pure Polyev.
00:03:40.500 I'll just quickly bring that up for you, just so you can see what I'm talking about.
00:03:44.000 So they referenced these two individuals, Tyler Boyce from the Enchanté Network.
00:03:49.300 Hopefully I'm not mispronouncing that for all you French viewers who don't like me mispronouncing French words.
00:03:54.060 But they referenced Tyler Boyce and Faye Johnson.
00:03:58.060 Now, these two individuals are not what you would consider exactly nonpartisan when it comes to their political views.
00:04:04.640 And frankly, I consider them extremely radical.
00:04:07.940 I don't know why any Canadian should take their opinions on anything particularly seriously,
00:04:12.440 because while they consider themselves advocates on behalf of the LGBTQ community,
00:04:17.260 they're really just far leftists.
00:04:19.340 Tyler Boyce, for one thing, is a big fan of defund the police.
00:04:24.260 He literally, quote, tweeted this account that's called Doctors for Defunding the Police,
00:04:28.880 which is a Malcolm X, quote, an obvious communist socialist who opposed police and was a black nationalist.
00:04:35.180 I'm not sure if that's exactly mainstream or an opinion I should be taking seriously.
00:04:40.000 Tyler Boyce was also in favor of defending Sarah Jama,
00:04:43.980 an anti-Semitic former Ontario MPP,
00:04:47.860 who was basically dismissing the deaths of Jews in Israel from the hands of Hamas,
00:04:54.320 and then only focusing on the plight of the Palestinian people
00:04:57.820 without never name-checking Hamas or blaming them for the ongoing killing.
00:05:01.760 Just absolutely crazy radical stuff.
00:05:04.760 Faye Johnson does not want to be left out either,
00:05:07.260 because they end up posting stuff from crazy people,
00:05:10.400 also defending Sarah Jama, again, an anti-Semite.
00:05:13.380 And this stuff goes on and on and on.
00:05:15.220 Yeah, Tyler Boyce also thinks that Scott Moe defending parental rights
00:05:19.680 and passing protections for parental rights is deeply bigoted and dangerous.
00:05:24.220 These are very, very fringe positions.
00:05:27.080 But again, press progress is going to make it seem like these are people
00:05:29.740 who are just nonpartisan advocates just standing up against radicalism.
00:05:33.620 I've said nothing radical, and they can't prove I have said anything radical.
00:05:37.500 They can only take stuff out of context and pretend that I said more than I did.
00:05:41.780 I was just simply saying that basically it's incredibly rare
00:05:47.260 for a parent to abuse their child in the first place,
00:05:50.720 and I doubt it's going to be parental rights activists
00:05:53.100 who are going to abuse their children.
00:05:54.720 And if they do, I want those people prosecuted,
00:05:57.060 and we already have laws to do that.
00:05:59.040 Attacking parental rights is not keeping any child safe.
00:06:02.060 But I can keep going on.
00:06:04.480 They have all these other things where Tyler is attacking the Saskatchewan government
00:06:08.080 for protecting parental rights.
00:06:10.480 There is Faye Johnson also putting out things attacking Melissa Lantzman
00:06:14.760 for backing up Pure Polyev.
00:06:16.700 I guess she thinks that, you know, Melissa Lantzman is now a fake gay person
00:06:21.780 because she's in favor of protections for parental rights and backs up Pure Polyev.
00:06:25.840 And then you have, you know, Faye Johnson quote tweeting Oxfam
00:06:29.820 with all this ceasefire nonsense, this pro-Hamas type crap
00:06:34.000 where we pretend that we're just standing for the human rights of the Palestinian people
00:06:38.160 when we're really just trying to protect the terrorist organization Hamas
00:06:42.500 by implying that it's somehow like Israel's committing genocide
00:06:46.420 by going after terrorists hiding behind their own people's human shields.
00:06:50.220 Let me also state that I went back through Faye Johnson's Twitter account,
00:06:53.840 or I guess X account, to go find if she had said anything
00:06:57.340 in response to the massacre of Jewish people by Hamas on January,
00:07:02.400 I'm sorry, October 7th.
00:07:03.860 And no, I didn't really find anything.
00:07:05.500 This was the only thing that she liked the entire time.
00:07:08.940 This person who said, I wrote something about Israel and Gaza.
00:07:11.360 No, your Jewish and Palestinian friends are not doing okay.
00:07:14.140 That was written on October 9th,
00:07:16.340 which is a really weird date for that to be written
00:07:19.400 and a really weird thing for Faye Johnson to like.
00:07:21.680 That was basically two days after a Hamas terrorist went into southern Israel
00:07:26.200 and massacred 1,200 Jews in cold blood,
00:07:29.680 torturing them and committing all sorts of disgusting atrocities,
00:07:33.420 deliberately targeting civilians.
00:07:35.340 And this author thinks that we should be sympathizing
00:07:37.960 with both the Israeli people and the Palestinian people.
00:07:41.040 Israel had not launched a single rocket back at even Hamas militants at this point.
00:07:45.240 They hadn't done anything.
00:07:46.720 And everything that Israel is doing is completely above board.
00:07:49.900 They're going after terrorists who are murdering their people
00:07:52.300 and want to wipe out every single Jew on the planet.
00:07:54.840 But Faye Johnson, after that point,
00:07:56.360 never says a single word in support of Israel.
00:07:58.440 It's always about standing up for the Palestinian people
00:08:00.720 or how hard done Sarah Johnson is
00:08:03.220 because I guess people actually pushed back against her anti-Semitic garbage.
00:08:08.220 But these are the people that I'm supposed to feel bad
00:08:10.880 that are attacking me because they're LGBTQ advocates.
00:08:14.580 They're not.
00:08:15.180 They're far leftists.
00:08:16.400 And let me just address now Press Progress itself.
00:08:20.040 Press Progress is also a far left outlet.
00:08:22.760 They are not people that anyone should be taking seriously
00:08:25.100 on issues of political moderation.
00:08:27.580 I wrote this article back in 2020
00:08:29.540 because of all the smears that they had done against people that I knew.
00:08:33.980 I even defended people that I'm not usually very in favor of like Aaron O'Toole.
00:08:38.460 But here's some of the tweets that people who work at Press Progress put out.
00:08:42.140 These people are supposedly political moderates
00:08:44.460 that we should be taking seriously.
00:08:46.260 So here's Stephen Magusiak back in the day,
00:08:48.820 putting out this, retweeting this person who says,
00:08:51.000 I just want working class people to hate capitalism much as it hates them.
00:08:54.220 Stephen Magusiak, of course, is a Press Progress journalist who still works there.
00:08:57.940 Stephen Magusiak also said this,
00:08:59.680 just in time for Remembrance Day this year.
00:09:02.700 He retweeted this person saying,
00:09:05.180 feeling like remembering those who fought for freedom?
00:09:07.760 Forget hashtag Remembrance Day.
00:09:09.580 Instead, remember the brave Bolsheviks who seized power in Russia 103 years ago today.
00:09:13.680 That's pretty disgusting anti-veteran crap.
00:09:16.600 But I guess who gives a crap because
00:09:18.040 Steve Magusiak and people at Press Progress are on the right side of history.
00:09:22.240 Steve Magusiak also retweeted this person saying,
00:09:24.680 I wish President Xi eternal good fortune in his continuing battle with the Occidental Beast.
00:09:29.780 Occidental Beast means Western Beast.
00:09:31.960 So I guess he supports the Chinese Communist Party against every Western government.
00:09:36.620 That's pretty crazy.
00:09:37.540 Now here's Emily Lehan supporting violence against conservative commentator Stephen Crowder
00:09:42.880 at the hands of union protesters, I believe, in Detroit.
00:09:46.180 So she is pro-violence.
00:09:47.780 And just like Tyler Boyce,
00:09:49.280 Emily Lehan is also a big advocate of the defund the police and abolish the police movements
00:09:54.620 as she was promoting all the stuff from people from the accounts Winnipeg police cause harm.
00:09:59.600 Absolute nonsense.
00:10:01.340 Also, of course, this was back in 2020.
00:10:02.980 So I was just calling out the hypocrisy of violating all the lockdown orders and whatnot
00:10:07.500 while going after conservatives for protesting against them.
00:10:10.740 But whatever.
00:10:12.060 Hopefully this isn't too long and rambling,
00:10:14.080 but I just want to sort of address this kind of crap that's going on
00:10:17.820 where these left-wing outlets like Press Progress will target a conservative person.
00:10:22.380 They will single them out and they will try and put as much pressure on them
00:10:25.160 to either apologize and admit to the false accusations against them
00:10:29.080 that they're somehow bigoted, transphobic, or homophobic.
00:10:31.860 I don't hate anyone.
00:10:32.960 Shut up, guys.
00:10:34.020 You have no evidence that I hate anyone or bigoted against anyone.
00:10:37.800 I literally stand up for groups who bigots go after,
00:10:40.920 like Kalistanis going after the Hindu community.
00:10:43.500 I do stuff like that all the time.
00:10:45.240 I stand up for Jews who are being attacked in disgusting anti-Semitic ways
00:10:49.040 who your LGBTQ experts don't even give a crap about seemingly from their Twitter profiles.
00:10:54.520 These people tweet constantly and they do not give a crap about the attacks on Israel
00:10:59.440 and they only start speaking up after Israel started fighting back.
00:11:03.060 These people are disgusting bigots who stand with anti-Semites like Sarah Jama.
00:11:09.320 Why should I care if you think that I said something wrong in my video
00:11:12.800 defending pure poly of the position on gender theory?
00:11:16.220 Gender theory is fringe nonsense.
00:11:18.240 Nobody wants their kid being taught it.
00:11:19.980 And I refuse to apologize for any of the stuff I've said
00:11:22.580 because I said nothing wrong.
00:11:24.880 To go back to the email, he's saying,
00:11:26.500 do you have a response clarification to these posts?
00:11:29.080 Why do you think LGBT voters should trust you?
00:11:32.760 Because I'm from a small government conservative
00:11:34.580 who wants the government out of people's lives.
00:11:36.780 What does it matter?
00:11:38.540 Gay people, people from different ethnic backgrounds,
00:11:42.140 but different religious backgrounds,
00:11:43.600 I'm running to represent all of them
00:11:45.440 and trying to get the government out of everyone's lives.
00:11:47.820 It's a disgusting implication that I've done anything wrong.
00:11:50.960 It's press progress that's being absolutely disgusting and duplicitous right now.
00:11:54.860 And so this is exactly what everyone should do
00:11:57.580 when an organization like press progress sends you a media request
00:12:00.420 saying you've done something wrong or you've said something wrong when you haven't.
00:12:03.800 I've said nothing wrong.
00:12:05.020 Press progress is a far left outlet that the media uses to launder smears
00:12:08.720 against conservative politicians and conservative individuals.
00:12:11.580 I'm not going to apologize to a group who employs people
00:12:15.400 who are openly sympathetic to communism and who hate the police
00:12:18.420 and even use experts who hate the police too.
00:12:21.620 I don't care.
00:12:22.440 You guys are awful.
00:12:23.420 You're bullies.
00:12:24.400 Nobody cares what your opinions are.
00:12:26.800 The only way that you guys get anything done
00:12:28.300 is if another media outlet like CBC or CTV puts out your crap,
00:12:32.800 pretends like it was a neutral organization who first reported on it
00:12:35.580 to put pressure on a politician.
00:12:37.380 Now, I'm not giving you anything.
00:12:39.480 I'm not giving you anything.
