The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - NDP elect new leader - Will this hurt the Carney Liberals？!？

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.060 The question that is in the air right now is whether or not Avi Lewis as the new NDP leader

00:00:13.120 is going to hurt Mark Carney and the Liberals. The second question is, who is Avi Lewis?

00:00:19.940 It's kind of pathetic just how unknown of a figure Avi Lewis is nationally in Canadian politics,

00:00:26.740 considering that his own father was the leader of the Ontario NDP and then his father's father

00:00:34.460 was the leader of the federal NDP. This guy has no credentials. He has absolutely no pedigree

00:00:42.420 outside of his parentage and this is why I think there is probably a low chance that he's going to

00:00:49.020 be threatening Mark Carney's liberals much. Although I say that and I temper it with the fact

00:00:54.300 that the problem for Mark Carney right now is, in theory, Avi Lewis should not actually be able

00:00:59.900 to hold a candle to him, and that the Liberals should be able to continue dominating the left-wing

00:01:05.140 vote. But the Carney Liberals have also trained so many of their supporters to be so deranged in

00:01:11.640 their anti-Americanism. I could see, if Carney makes a wrong step, that Avi Lewis could end up

00:01:17.700 gaining quite a bit. Not overperforming maybe Jagmeet Singh's numbers in 2021 or 2019,

00:01:24.500 which weren't even that good, but I could see Avi Lewis going from the 6% that Jagmeet Singh

00:01:30.400 delivered in 25 and maybe going up to 9, 11, 12, and being able to expand the NDP roster

00:01:39.380 from around six seats right now, although they won with seven before Idla ended up crossing the

00:01:44.780 floor, up to around 14 or 16. And so we're going to be getting into the sort of strange politics

00:01:51.900 around this NDP leadership race, and how it's going to affect a lot of other politics around

00:01:58.400 Canada. The NDP are a technically insignificant party, but they could be highly significant,

00:02:05.360 not just in terms of the outcome of a federal race, but also the outcome of many provincial races.

00:02:11.740 Because remember, if you are an NDP provincial member, you are also a federal member. That is how many of the NDP parties work around the country, and so having a more controversial leader could end up having cascading effects down ballot, if you could say it that way.

00:02:30.960 Anyways, but before we get into this topic, I just want to remind you guys,

00:02:35.840 if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you are not yet a

00:02:40.500 subscriber, leave a comment on how you think Avi Lewis is going to perform as the MVP leader

00:02:46.100 relative to their current polling position, which is around averaging seven or eight points. And

00:02:51.720 then also let me know if you think this is going to end up hurting the Liberals or it's not going

00:02:56.080 to damage them at all. And if you really like the show, consider hitting the join button and

00:03:16.140 and I'm always going to be keeping the content free for everybody. Anyway, so first off, here

00:03:22.640 is Avi Lewis. You have probably basically never seen his face because he, again, is a deeply

00:03:28.940 insignificant man with very little achievements in his life, despite the fact that, again,

00:03:34.360 his father and grandfather were so successful politically. But the NDP federal account on X

00:03:40.760 here says, the results are in. Congratulations to Avi Lewis, leader of Canada's NDP. After an

00:03:46.840 exciting leadership race were fired up and ready for the important work ahead. Although the word

00:03:52.960 exciting is doing a lot of work there because it was a comatose race. It was effectively Avi Lewis 0.80

00:03:59.800 against Heather McPherson. Heather McPherson being the Edmonton Strathcona NDP MP whose profile

00:04:07.420 pretty much was only born out of the fact that she was one of the remaining few NDP MPs even around

00:04:13.240 to run. And she got absolutely stomped out in this race, which really demonstrates just how 1.00

00:04:20.140 weak of a brand many people in the NDP actually have. So I want to show you guys what the actual

00:04:26.040 voting results were in this race. I was thinking, should I do in the whiteboard? No, we can actually 0.62

00:04:32.820 do something else later on the whiteboard because there is a new Abacus data poll. I might just,

00:04:36.800 you know, walk you guys through in a second here. But this Polling Canada post says that the

00:04:43.060 leadership results in first round were Avi Lewis, 39,734 votes, Heather McPherson, 20,899,

00:04:52.800 Tennille Johnson had 5,159, Rob Ashton, 4,193, and Tony McQuail, 945. Now, the actual vote counts

00:05:03.440 are not that bad here considering how dead the party is right now. I just want to compare it to

00:05:09.180 the CPC 2022 leadership race, where Pierre Polyev ended up becoming the new leader of the party.

00:05:17.520 Now, he got 295,000 votes. So that does make the NDP leadership race look pretty pathetic. 0.94

00:05:27.840 They ended up getting like around a quarter of what Pierre Polyev had. But Polyev was historically 0.85

00:05:34.800 like really, really popular in the leadership race. Usually leadership races are like multi-balloted.

00:05:41.620 You know, the 2017 leadership race was extremely belabored. Even 2020 with Aaron O'Toole and Peter

00:05:46.980 McKay went to the very last ballot. But in this one, Jean Charest got 48,000 votes, which

00:05:52.820 demonstrates that compared to like the average Tory leadership candidate, you know, Avi Loos

00:05:57.920 didn't do that that bad in terms of the overall vote count. Of course, he won and he won on first

00:06:03.520 ballot, but it's more of a kind of like a condemnation of how poor quality his opponents

00:06:09.380 were. McPherson was kind of, and if I say this very like with a grain of salt, she is like the

00:06:16.980 establishment NDP candidate. Now that doesn't really mean much because the party is just so

00:06:23.660 weak. There's no real full establishment. She's an establishment figure simply by the virtue of

00:06:29.160 being an actual MP. And that's really it. Rob Ashton was like the union guy. I'm not sure if

00:06:34.940 he was from the Teamsters or something like that. The interim leader who just left Don Davies was a

00:06:39.660 old Teamsters lawyer. You had the, so, or Tennille Johnson was just some activist. I believe she was 1.00

00:06:46.700 First Nations. And that was honestly one of her big vote getting reasons for people to vote for

00:06:51.440 her was vote for the, you know, pro undrip guy. And then we had Tony McQuail and I had no clue

00:06:57.880 who he was other than he had a very big white beard and he wore a straw hat everywhere but

00:07:02.260 the thing is the party is run by left-wing radicals avi lewis compared to everybody else

00:07:09.340 was the social activist all of them you could say tony mcquail was like the raw milk like ndp

00:07:17.500 teniel johnson was the first nations ndp rob ashton was the old labor ndp and he got blown

00:07:25.100 out in this race. And Heather McPherson was kind of just the continuation of the Jagmeet Singh era,

00:07:31.820 and that got shot down. So the NDP has picked the form of its destructor, and it will be in the

00:07:38.520 form of Avi Lewis's just insane social views. Like, he thinks we need more immigration. He is pro-Iran. 0.98

00:07:46.500 He is obviously pro-Hamas, considering that he only ever finds reason to attack the United States 0.80

00:07:52.120 and Israel in regards to the Middle East and has never found a reason to attack Hamas, Hezbollah,

00:07:56.760 or the Houthis, this is what the NDP has become. It used to be a labor party way back when.

00:08:02.240 You know, I wouldn't have agreed with their views back then, but it was at least a respectable party

00:08:07.100 that you could disagree with the issues. There's some logic to why they believe they're, you know,

00:08:12.500 in their policy positions, and there's some logic in why you would maybe disagree with them.

00:08:16.760 they are a party now for 20-year-old anthropology students. And this is why the party is likely to

00:08:23.700 remain irrelevant if Carney places cards right. But I want to now move on to the speech that he

00:08:30.400 ended up delivering right after he won. Apparently, according to Mr. Avi Lewis, the establishment

00:08:38.660 is very scared of him. And whenever the NDP says establishment, it borderline doesn't mean

00:08:45.440 anything. Establishment just basically means people we don't like. In fact, Avi Lewis and the

00:08:52.120 losers who are around him are the establishment. They just tend to be the establishment on the 0.95

00:08:59.280 local level. They tend to run city councils. They run school boards. They're at the heads

00:09:05.160 of labor unions and teacher unions and whatnot, even though their own people probably despise

00:09:10.580 them. They are, in fact, an unpopular establishment. But when they run federally, when the voters get

00:09:16.260 to see, oh, that's the crazy people party, they don't vote for them. They do very well in

00:09:21.060 municipal races when it's harder to determine who are the crazy NDPers. But federally, when they're

00:09:27.100 emblazoned with big orange colors, people do not vote for them. But here's Avi Lewis

00:09:31.880 giving his shrill speech. Of course, we can already hear the howls from the establishment.

00:09:37.160 but how will you pay for all this he won't well let's remind them that this country is a wash

00:09:46.420 in wealth we can have nice things

00:09:49.460 banks made 70 billion in profits last year alone oil companies are expecting a new windfall in the

00:09:59.700 tens of billions grocery they're literally saying shame they're talking about wealth creation

00:10:06.600 And these people who have more hair colors and personality traits are screaming shame. They're wearing their terror scarves and they're screaming shame at people being productive in this country. People being productive? Why, why that cannot go in my Canada, sir, trying to be productive.

00:10:24.400 of now see here in the NDP version of Canada, you have to get into the ditch and dig your own grave

00:10:31.140 because you dared make money on oil and gas. He actually had this just ridiculous statement on,

00:10:38.680 I think it was the Rosemary Barton show, where he said that, well, we need to be involved in wind

00:10:43.240 and solar because no one's ever bombed a country to take their wind and solar from them. 0.96

00:10:48.360 This stupid fear mongering that Trump is going to invade Canada because we have oil just 1.00

00:10:54.400 So, it's so dumb. 1.00

00:10:56.740 But here is the rest of this statement. 0.99

00:10:58.400 Aaron, Gale, and Weston alone is worth $20 billion.

00:11:03.740 It is time, far past time, to properly tax the corporations and billionaires that have been riding a tidal wave of profits.

00:11:13.740 Tidal wave of profits. 0.99

00:11:16.940 Avi Lewis is a professional, useless leech. 1.00

00:11:20.400 leech and he is going to come out here and start attacking corporations and wealthy individuals 0.99

00:11:26.800 canadians who have a good income i just got through tax season it hit me like a freight train

00:11:32.720 and i'm not exactly just a flush with cash corporations and people who make a lot of money

00:11:38.400 pay crazy amounts of taxes more compared to their american counterparts and this leech is here to 0.54

00:11:45.440 say oh my goodness you dare make money in my country well i'm gonna take it all away from you 1.00

00:11:52.000 so i can pay for nonsense we can buy like neil johnson some more stupid looking earrings about 0.99

00:11:59.200 99 have been suffering and struggling and use that money to directly improve the lives of canadians 0.99

00:12:07.200 The money is there.

00:12:13.400 The money is there, my friends.

00:12:16.460 We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.

00:12:24.060 So I hope you see what I'm saying when I say that he is the activist of the party.

00:12:29.680 The other characters, they're not even people, basically.

00:12:33.440 their characters who were running for the leadership represented different things like

00:12:37.740 heather like heather mcpherson very much represented the sort of rachel notley wing

00:12:43.580 of the ndp she's still bad but she was like at least understands you can't freak out you know

00:12:50.740 business too much you got to move a little more slowly now heather mcpherson and you know rachel

00:12:57.000 notley will eventually end up in the place that avi lewis is simply by allowing their party to

00:13:02.800 be taken over by these people but they do it more slowly. Avi Lewis is just saying just hit the gas

00:13:08.060 let's go as fast as possible. I want to now show you some of his other another part of his speech

00:13:13.460 here and then I want to move on to some of the reaction from other NDP leaders which is actually

00:13:18.640 not very good. I think he's like batting maybe like two out of ten right now in terms of provincial

00:13:24.700 NDP leaders who actually like Avi Lewis but here we go. The prime minister is very popular at the

00:13:30.600 moment. He's a smart guy and most Canadians still want to give him the benefit of the doubt. That's

00:13:35.040 fair. But I think when you connect the dots, his moves do not add up to the vision that Canadians

00:13:41.420 truly want and deserve in this perilous moment. Half a trillion dollars in a decade for weapons

00:13:51.980 to make Canada a major arms exporter in a war-torn world. Slashing. I'm sorry, where else

00:14:00.340 should the West get weapons? I'm sorry, we shouldn't manufacture weapons. This is ridiculous,

00:14:05.760 NDP thought, that the mere creation of weapons indicates that you somehow want war. And now

00:14:12.040 I know there are these kind of dumb talking points around, oh, the military industrial complex. 0.83

00:14:18.060 I'm sorry, was the military industrial complex, you know, a bad thing in World War II? I don't 0.86

00:14:24.420 think so. I think, in fact, it's probably good to be armed to the teeth. And in the sense that

00:14:28.840 I think it's good to have weapons in your home in case a criminal breaks in. I support castle doctrine. And, you know, being able to manufacture and sell weapons is kind of the castle doctrine of, you know, nation states.

00:14:42.240 But the NDP is just so anti-West. They think the West should be disarmed, should not be using oil and gas, and should be basically chasing every single rich person out. All the job creators need to be thrown out of the country so that Avi Lewis can pursue his killing fields or whatever.

00:14:59.780 our cherished public services sweeping aside indigenous rights sweeping aside indigenous 1.00

00:15:07.040 rights mark carney just signed over the entire lower mainland of the musqueam indigenous band

00:15:15.380 he's actually kind of an insane land back guy secretly but apparently he hasn't gone far

00:15:21.040 enough this is sweeping aside indigenous rights full steam ahead no regulations on ai 0.95

00:15:29.040 and pipelines in the last federal election canadians voted to say no to trump and trumpism

00:15:36.320 what they're getting instead is our government following the us into a future of wars

00:15:42.240 fossil fuels austerity and job killing generative ai

00:15:49.040 our ndp has a different offer for this country our plan is to trump proof the economy by

00:15:55.280 investing massively in canadian economic independence using the unmatched power of

00:16:01.200 public ownership to ensure the fundamentals yeah we're gonna beat trump with communism guys

00:16:12.240 A network of public providers for food, phones, and internet.

00:16:19.700 A public housing developer and public construction companies to build millions of non-market homes.

00:16:29.600 The one thing I would say is that there is a certain type of individual like a Laura Babcock, 0.98

00:16:34.840 who I could actually see embracing Avi Lewis if Mark Carney ever committed some faux pas against her. 0.92

00:16:42.240 That is the one angle for this fool, is that the liberals have bought into many of the 0.94

00:16:48.680 narratives that Avi Lewis is currently pushing halfway. 0.97

00:16:51.840 And so to many on the more left side of the NDP or of the liberal party, many of those

00:16:56.740 voters who were poached from the NDP from the previous elections, technically, if Mark

00:17:01.840 Carney doesn't deliver the like hyper anti-Trump agenda, technically, these people are already

00:17:08.840 about to walk the plank and join the Avi Lewis camp anyways.

00:17:12.240 since, again, Mark Carney has already bought into most of the logic that Avi Lewis is operating

00:17:17.980 under. Really, the only difference between the Mark Carney housing agenda and Avi Lewis's is

00:17:23.740 that Mark Carney is doing public house building by proxy of contractors. He is still basically

00:17:30.520 having the government attempt to build homes, way overpriced and way overscheduled, as you would

00:17:35.860 expect. And the only difference, really, is that Avi Lewis just wants the government to literally

00:17:41.300 own the company that's building it. That's pretty much it. You know, we should probably, you know,

00:17:46.480 the conservative party can honestly contrast really well with Avi Lewis's socialism and push

00:17:51.440 themselves as the unapologetic free market party. And then Mark Carney will have to kind of be

00:17:56.840 split down the middle of not being free market enough to keep the business liberals, but also

00:18:01.360 not being socialistic enough to contrast with Trump properly so that Avi Lewis can say, oh,

00:18:06.860 i'm the real anti-trump guy because look even i don't even believe in foolish notions like private

00:18:12.000 property but yeah a little bit more on him then we'll talk about the reaction 21st century

00:18:17.080 electrical grid an ev bus revolution and a heat pump in every home built with canadian steel

00:18:24.220 creating tens of thousands of unionized jobs

00:18:28.060 we will have guys what was the uh who's who's i think it was like william mckinley's campaign

00:18:37.440 promise or it was harding actually we're gonna have a chicken in every pot well apparently we're

00:18:42.580 gonna have an ev bus ticket in every wallet and a heat pump in every home has he ever has he ever

00:18:48.900 been to edmonton has he ever been to alberta well it doesn't seem like it because evs ev buses do

00:18:56.220 not work here. In fact, they were a massive flop. He's so out of touch with Alberta that, in fact,

00:19:02.460 the already deeply out of touch provincial NDP leader, Nahid Nenshi, distanced himself

00:19:08.800 immediately from Avi Lewis and his radicalism. Nahid Nenshi here says, today the federal new

00:19:14.700 Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party

00:19:19.380 under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government,

00:19:23.720 is not in the interest of Alberta, and he is right about that. Avi Lewis wanted Notley to lose in

00:19:29.460 2019 because she wasn't significantly left-wing enough in his estimation. But going on, then she 1.00

00:19:35.420 says, last year, Alberta's New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal

00:19:40.240 party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the

00:19:44.780 federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal

00:19:50.300 Party. Although I don't quite think that's true, since I've never heard him say anything nice about

00:19:55.620 the federal conservatives. Apparently, the NDP is open to PPC voters and Christian Heritage Party

00:20:01.120 voters, too. Although I can see why Nenshi says this, because no one wants to vote for him. So

00:20:06.140 now he has to try and reach out to everybody. But Nenshi goes on again and says, we believe in

00:20:11.800 Alberta and we believe in Canada. Energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in Alberta and

00:20:17.100 we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in

00:20:21.660 reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and strong job-driven economy to help

00:20:27.400 pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who

00:20:31.780 understand the importance of Alberta and our central role in the Federation. Our focus is not

00:20:36.400 what the federal NDB says or does. Our fight is with Daniel Smith and the separatist UCP, and he

00:20:41.540 goes into his separatist ucp conspiracy right there but yeah that's a bit of a blow considering

00:20:47.880 that the ndp currently holds a seat in alberta that being heather mcpherson's seat and mark and

00:20:54.420 and he just threw them fast under the bus but it didn't just end with him there was also a

00:21:01.840 separation from the from the federal ndp by the saskatchewan ndp kirk lubomov here says alberta

00:21:10.500 NDP leader Nahid Nenshi has already distanced themselves from the new federal NDP party leader

00:21:18.220 Avi Lewis and Saskatchewan NDP leader Carl Beck wrote a scathing reply refusing to meeting with

00:21:24.400 him because of his attack on natural resources and the working people. Boom. Yeah. So what does 0.87

00:21:31.860 this leave Avi Lewis left with in terms of allies? Well, he had Wab Kanu's support because I guess 0.85

00:21:39.340 the convention took place in Winnipeg and Winnipeg is one of the few places left where there's a lot

00:21:43.840 of federal NDP support. So Wab Kanu cannot distance himself as the provincial NDP leader in that

00:21:49.620 province. He also gave this weird statement when he was like talking at the convention about how we

00:21:56.300 need to oppose the Iran war because it's the Epstein war or whatever. Wab Kanu diving head 0.83

00:22:02.420 first into like Islamic Iranian regime propaganda, but that doesn't surprise me. So he's got

00:22:09.160 Wob Canu. That's actually not too bad of a guy to have under his belt because he is quite popular

00:22:13.820 in Manitoba right now. He has Merit Stiles, the Ontario NDP leader, and he kind of has David Eby.

00:22:22.600 Like, David Eby is in a really awkward position right now because he knows that Avi Lewis is a 0.95

00:22:29.020 crazy person. He doesn't probably want Avi Lewis as the NDP leader. He would have probably way

00:22:34.920 preferred, Heather McPherson or Rob Ashton. But Avi Lewis is from Vancouver. And so David Eby is

00:22:43.020 being marched onto that cattle car right into the killing fields with team Avi Lewis because he

00:22:48.820 cannot actually say anything against him. And so David Eby here says, congratulations to Avi Lewis

00:22:54.980 on being elected as the federal leader by NDP members. And thank you to Don Davies for your

00:23:00.120 service as interim leader. That was all the British Columbia NDP premier said about Avi

00:23:07.260 Lewis. Well, congratulations for winning. Literally, Paulieff said something nicer.

00:23:12.540 He said, oh, it's good that Avi has won, and now he should help fight back against the federal

00:23:17.500 liberals' corporate corruption or whatever he went into, basically finding the one angle,

00:23:22.020 or technically the conservatives agree a little bit with the NDP, but not really. He's just kind

00:23:26.820 of, you know, basically prodding Avi Lewis to make sure he doesn't become another Jagmeet Singh

00:23:31.900 who ends up just working with the Liberals at every turn. I don't think that's Avi Lewis's

00:23:36.340 style. He seems kind of like a pit bull, which, again, might benefit him just by pure aggression

00:23:42.000 alone. But because the NDP can pull off like 20% in Vancouver, David Eby can't just tell them to

00:23:49.640 pack sand, especially because with the 38,000 or 39,000 people who voted Lewis in this NDP federal

00:23:57.740 leadership race, I guarantee you they are mostly concentrated in British Columbia. And by the way,

00:24:04.020 federally speaking, I like a point system for a party leadership. Provincial level, I don't think

00:24:09.340 a point system works. It's just too small a piece of geography, and it ends up with these really

00:24:13.840 strange leadership results like what happened in manitoba where obi khan became the progressive

00:24:20.240 conservative leader terrible leader not a conservative at all awful wally daldrich

00:24:26.040 would have made a way better leader and in their leadership race wally daldrich won every single

00:24:31.520 riding that the pcs currently hold so the base likes him but obi khan was able to basically

00:24:37.780 sweep winnipeg in terms of points even though these are ridings that they're never going to 0.91

00:24:43.100 win, just like how the UCP is never going to win downtown Edmonton, and we'd be stupid to have a 0.99

00:24:48.140 point system. But the federal NDP, in all of its wisdom around democracy, doesn't believe in a 0.89

00:24:54.400 federal point system, so I guarantee you Avi Lewis effectively won this entire leadership, racking up

00:25:01.660 points in the lower mainland, in Victoria, in Montreal, and probably in downtown Toronto, and

00:25:08.880 that is it. Now, you could say that is kind of NDP land a little bit, but he's completely cut out

00:25:14.600 Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, you know, Waterloo, London, Quebec City. He's cut out

00:25:24.460 Halifax, Charlottetown, literally every other means like big city. The NDP is not really

00:25:31.200 competing for them. And maybe Avi Lewis's whole strategy is he's going to consolidate the troops

00:25:35.460 and circle his wagons around his few places of strength.

00:25:39.220 But really, you're just going to cut Edmonton out of the process.

00:25:42.640 Edmonton had two NDP seats in 21, and now it just has one. 0.99

00:25:46.200 You could try and win one back if you weren't stupid, but what do I know? 0.97

00:25:50.860 This is, again, why I think this might have been a good outcome for Mark Carney. 0.99

00:25:54.800 But anyways, I don't really...

00:25:56.760 Is there anything really else to highlight here?

00:25:58.960 I guess I might want to highlight just how kind of insane this whole leadership or AGM that was for the NDP.

00:26:08.760 It's kind of what you would expect.

00:26:10.700 Now, I don't want to go on too long, but this is being clipped by Alex Zoltan at the Western Standard.

00:26:16.700 This is just the amount of just complaining that would go on. 0.93

00:26:20.700 The kind of complaining you'd expect at the NDP AGM was just ridiculous. 0.83

00:26:23.960 ridiculous people basically just saying i'm the the mic levels are too low or or i have a diversity

00:26:30.100 card literally that should be getting me close up closer to the microphone whenever i want to speak 0.96

00:26:35.720 and they were complaining about who was using the diversity cards and if diverse voices were being

00:26:40.540 able were being muzzled or not it was wild it's a point go ahead it's got point of privilege um the

00:26:47.660 microphone seemed really low today it's hard to hear everyone at the mic between the background

00:26:52.260 noise and the volume in here with the microphones it's really hard to hear and the closed captioning

00:26:57.300 also is slower to make it hard to keep up with what's going on thank you delegate i have a

00:27:03.300 hearing impairment and i'm struggling to hear the delegates and i know that you are too

00:27:08.500 let's have some order we'll hear from the delegate on microphone one please

00:27:13.780 i did want to bring attention to the fact that um a fellow delegate is holding the gender parity

00:27:18.580 Let's take the microphone to that delegate. We'll hear from them right now. 0.90

00:27:24.580 Thank you.

00:27:26.580 Thank you.

00:27:28.580 She, her.

00:27:30.580 My pronouns are she, her, elle in Francais.

00:27:32.580 It's gonna be really hard to follow Rob Ashton.

00:27:34.580 Amazing speaker.

00:27:36.580 We are a working class party.

00:27:38.580 I think most of us in this room are behind that.

00:27:41.580 And while we can debate on the specific words and who is and isn't included,

00:27:44.580 I think our Constitution needs to recognize that.

00:27:47.580 and I also recognize there is I'm sorry I'm speaking way too fast let me slow

00:27:51.240 down for the closed captioning I'm so sorry get excited it's a point of

00:27:58.180 privilege the closed captions for this convention are running between six and

00:28:03.820 ten seconds behind so it's just a request for the chairpersons to be aware 1.00

00:28:09.420 and when you move to a vote I'm still reading the debate so if we just take a

00:28:15.000 a little pause that would be appreciated okay all the snapping in the background yes hi uh my name

00:28:22.520 is parker tian i'm representative vancouver quadra just to reply my frank book of commarance uh

00:28:28.520 prime point of privilege earlier uh as you can see i do have one of the translating device however

00:28:33.880 i'd like to raise this to the chair's concern that the sign-out process for this device the type of

00:28:40.280 of people who show up at the NDP convention are kind of who to expect a lot of activists people

00:28:45.500 who constantly frankly whine about things like it was again the discourse around their little cards

00:28:52.300 trying to get people who are more diverse up to the front of the line was embarrassing to the

00:28:57.840 party like just the way that they were behaving around all this stuff uh I want to see if I can

00:29:02.860 find the clips that were going on oh well here was Rob Ashton speaking at the convention talking

00:29:08.660 about eating the rich i'm gonna close this campaign the way i started when we're we're

00:29:15.140 done being on the menu and we're done with the ruling class eating us alive it's time we take 0.99

00:29:23.300 our seats at the table and eat the damn rich 0.98

00:29:28.580 that was that was that was weird i know what that was about that's this is all very strange 0.97

00:29:43.140 uh here here here's another clip honestly this video is just devolving and be showing you like

00:29:47.380 look look at this there's a point of privilege on microphone one then we'll go to microphone

00:29:54.260 three go ahead delegate yes hello i i was standing here with my gender equity card before you called

00:30:00.340 on the previous speaker that's my point of privilege i would like to i will explain the

00:30:04.420 speaking order which is fixed that i cannot amend which is the pro con rotation you can move

00:30:09.860 yourself up a line that you're standing on i am pro and i i was we went um you went pro we went

00:30:18.100 pro-con pro and my plan was to go con the speaker at con mic 3 also has a speaking card yesterday

00:30:26.180 this card was used in an inappropriate matter and while i understand in ontario we know this

00:30:32.820 is equity even if that this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender i want everyone

00:30:39.460 to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman have

00:30:46.340 no value outside of this space yeah so that was the ndp uh leadership convention uh and agm i

00:30:56.420 guess these are the people who like ruin your favorite shows on television when they remake them

00:31:03.060 the type of corporate consultants who consider themselves working class but have clearly never 0.94

00:31:07.860 worked a really hard job in their lives just frivolous dumb jobs you know some of them are

00:31:14.180 obviously needed but like so many of these people live work in the non-profit space they like to

00:31:20.980 style themselves working class when they've never probably they don't even probably walk their own 0.73

00:31:25.860 garbage outside of the house it's just the the type of people who who are just the type of people who

00:31:32.340 try and sit on school boards even though they don't have kids the type of people who don't 0.97

00:31:36.580 think it's a big deal that they're just like teaching gender theory in classrooms or they have

00:31:41.780 borderline porn in libraries. This is the NDP base, the people who work in government effectively,

00:31:49.840 especially government jobs that probably shouldn't exist at all. Anyways, so that should be it for

00:31:56.360 today, guys. I knew I said I was going to go over the Abacus data poll. It's just the video is

00:31:59.920 becoming a bit too long. But to give you the quick overview, basically Abacus data, like other

00:32:05.560 pollsters, are starting to show a shrinking in the lead of the liberals. They used to show them with

00:32:11.060 a 10-point lead, and that's actually fallen back by about four points now, where the liberals fell

00:32:17.200 by two points and the conservatives have gained two points. And as I've said in other videos,

00:32:21.660 I expect that this trend is going to continue, especially as this Michael Ma situation goes on,

00:32:28.480 as we keep getting more bad jobs reports for the Carney liberals, as well as just all of the other

00:32:34.620 things that he actually hasn't accomplished in office. The conservatives are on a better path

00:32:38.980 right now but like I keep saying run on a bold change platform you can't just wait until Carney

00:32:46.400 is going to screw up because even though he screws up he's so boring people don't even really notice

00:32:50.540 he screwed up Justin Trudeau was flamboyant in his screwing up Mark Carney is not so you got to 0.96

00:32:57.140 run on something that gets attention you can't just wait until this guy sets himself on fire 0.66

00:33:00.860 anyways so without all that all being said thank you guys for watching like share subscribe
