00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. It's been a while since we did a polling update for federal politics in Canada, but I think it's good for us to take a look at where things currently stand.
00:00:12.920 Obviously, Mark Carney and the Liberals are currently in a polling honeymoon. They just won the last election a couple months ago, so naturally a lot of Canadians are willing to say that yes, they want them in office because, well, they won, let's give them a chance.
00:00:28.600 But while people have been going around showing off the results of the recent Nanos poll, which we will be looking at, I don't believe it's actually representative of where Canadians are at.
00:00:39.800 I don't think people have shifted massively in favor of the Liberals. I think that the Liberals have experienced a small bump.
00:00:46.160 In fact, the Liberals have been experiencing a lot of bumps over the last year because of the various shakeups that have occurred.
00:00:53.480 Getting rid of Trudeau revived the Liberals' popularity, and then Mark Carney becoming a leader gave them a bump, and then after they won, they get a bump.
00:01:02.080 They've been having a lot of luck recently with events having fallen into line perfectly for them to get back into office.
00:01:08.880 And I do want to say, right before we get into these polling results, I know people think that polls are, like, not to be trusted.
00:01:17.040 I would say trust good polls, and that's why we will be talking about Abacus Data today. They do a very good job.
00:01:24.120 Nanos was okay in the last election, but as I was saying during that election, the polls were not wildly off, but they were not entirely accurate.
00:01:32.500 Generally speaking, I would say the best way of correcting for polling bias or polling error, usually the bias is just in them calling too many urban voters and not enough rural voters,
00:01:43.160 is that what you should do is lower the Liberal number a little bit and raise the Conservative number a little bit because that was the general polling error in this last election.
00:01:52.640 Conservatives usually did a little bit better than what most polls showed, and the Liberals did a little bit worse.
00:01:57.600 If the Conservatives literally got 0.3% more, 0.5% more in the election, they would have probably won the minority government.
00:02:06.660 There were only 8,000 votes off in the closest ridings that they needed to win from the Liberals in order to be in office.
00:02:13.540 It was very, very close, and people pretend that it was a big disappointment.
00:02:18.280 It's just that the votes in very specific ridings just did not come in where the Conservatives thought they were going to come in.
00:02:24.560 But now let's get into the numbers.
00:02:27.600 I usually like using Shreya Teest.
00:02:29.640 He does a very good job presenting the data online.
00:02:32.920 By the way, out of all of the people projecting the results of the election, Shreya Teest and the Great Canadian Bagel, who I also plug, were the two most accurate polling projectors.
00:02:45.640 Shreya Teest just graduated from grade 11.
00:02:48.920 He is probably one of the smartest people currently in Canadian political data.
00:02:53.700 But here are the nanos numbers.
00:02:56.740 Liberals 45%, Conservatives 30%, NDP 12%, Bloc Québécois 6.1%, Greens 2.9%, PPC 1.5%, other 1.3%.
00:03:07.240 Now, are the Liberals right now ahead in my mind?
00:03:10.920 Definitely.
00:03:11.780 They just won government, and they're in a honeymoon.
00:03:15.020 People always give the new government the benefit of the doubt.
00:03:17.540 It always happens.
00:03:18.560 It even happens when you ask people who they voted for.
00:03:21.000 Disproportionately, people will say they voted for whoever won, even if they didn't actually vote for them.
00:03:27.660 But this is an absurd result.
00:03:30.000 To act as if, like about what would it be, 11, 12% of Conservatives defected over to the Liberals, or a bunch of them defected back to the NDP just recently, doesn't really stand to reason.
00:03:43.140 But I do want to show you what that kind of poll would result in when it comes to the overall map of Canadian politics.
00:03:51.060 Sherey Attiste, again, does a great job displaying this stuff, and he shows that the Liberals, out of a result like this, would win 216 seats, Conservatives 93, NDP 19, Bloc 11, and Greens 3.
00:04:05.580 That's usually a good sign that's not a good poll when the Greens are above two seats, because they only won one in the last election, and I don't think enough Canadians are clamoring for the NDP to make a big comeback.
00:04:17.720 I think that this is just, again, a bit of a snafu of Liberals being energized after winning an election, and being far more likely to actually pick up the phone and take a poll.
00:04:28.040 Now, let's jump over to the abacus numbers, because I think that these ones are genuinely just better.
00:04:35.960 I'm not just picking polls that I think are good, I'm picking polls that are realistic.
00:04:40.920 Do you think that the NDP, since getting clobbered and getting 6% of the vote, have now gone up to 12%?
00:04:47.900 I don't think so.
00:04:48.840 I also don't think the Liberals, sorry, the Liberals probably are at 45%.
00:04:53.220 That's the one accurate part of NANDO's.
00:04:54.780 Conservatives fell to 30%, no, they're at 41.5% in the election.
00:04:58.940 I think they're probably around what abacus data shows here.
00:05:03.140 Abacus data shows the current polling much tighter.
00:05:07.060 Liberals, 42%, Conservatives, 39%, NDP, 7%, La Québécois, 6%, Greens, 3%, PPC, 1%, Other, 1%.
00:05:17.080 And by the way, when it says the NDP are negative 1% and they're at 7%, that is based off of the last abacus poll done, because of course the NDP only got 6% in the last election.
00:05:29.360 This is a poll, like abacus tends to base what the change is, not based on the last election, but based on their last poll.
00:05:36.740 Other pollsters always based the percent increase or decrease based on previous election results.
00:05:42.300 I always like it this way because it demonstrates the changes that are happening slowly over time rather than the big macro change from last election.
00:05:50.000 So, yeah, that's what you can see here on the bar chart that Sherey Attiste made.
00:05:55.180 He's a great account, by the way.
00:05:56.360 I will link him in the description below.
00:05:58.900 But then we can go look at the map and sort of see where the seat distributions are.
00:06:03.980 Naturally, that result isn't too far off of what happened in the last election.
00:06:09.300 So everything's going to look pretty standard here.
00:06:12.920 You know, even in Calgary, it would show that Confederation would be going back conservative right now.
00:06:18.200 In fact, this poll may even be overestimating the conservatives by a point or two because, again, we're in a liberal honeymoon.
00:06:26.640 I don't think, though, that the liberals are going to be winning Saskatoon ridings or Regina ridings.
00:06:31.700 I think they would probably win one Calgary riding.
00:06:34.300 But that's just how polls tend to work.
00:06:36.820 They called up a few extra liberals in Saskatchewan.
00:06:39.460 So it means that projecting that poll, they would win Saskatoon maybe.
00:06:44.020 You know, they didn't pick up not as many conservatives or not as many liberals.
00:06:48.840 I mean, picked up the phone in Alberta.
00:06:50.460 Well, that means they don't win a seat in Calgary anymore.
00:06:53.400 That's where polling can only be so good.
00:06:56.180 It's giving you a general projection.
00:06:58.760 It's giving you a general feeling of where the momentum is at.
00:07:02.280 And right now, the momentum is on the side of the liberals.
00:07:05.340 Naturally, to the winner goes the spoils.
00:07:09.020 And now we are going to see if the liberals can actually be able to maintain their support over time.
00:07:14.320 They have gotten Bill C-5 done, although the conservatives had to vote with them to get that done.
00:07:20.300 That is kind of almost the conservatives, like I said in a previous video, placing a bet.
00:07:25.300 The bill itself, Bill C-5, is not a good bill.
00:07:29.540 Is it like a disastrous bill?
00:07:31.200 Did they vote for like a liberal censorship bill or a bill that's going to phase out like gas-powered cars?
00:07:36.820 Obviously not.
00:07:38.120 Conservatives basically voted for a bill to speed up projects.
00:07:42.780 That the liberals get to fast track infrastructure projects, you know, major mines, pipelines, oil and gas projects, green energy projects.
00:07:52.280 But the conservatives voted for it because it would have not actually passed unless they did it.
00:07:58.440 The NDP, the bloc, and the green MPs all voted against it.
00:08:02.580 And so what the conservatives are doing is saying, okay, Carney, here is the power to do what you want.
00:08:09.240 Not like whatever you want.
00:08:10.980 Again, of course, the conservatives are opposing insane things like Bill C-2, the border bill that would let the government read your mail and like download your phone and whatnot.
00:08:19.400 Of course, they oppose stuff like that.
00:08:20.720 But Bill C-5, it's only bad because it's not real deregulation.
00:08:25.500 It's selective deregulation for projects that Carney and his cabinet like.
00:08:30.080 But by letting it pass, now Polyev and the conservatives get to say, okay, Carney, get stuff done.
00:08:36.120 And if they don't get stuff done, Mark Carney doesn't get to go around pointing finger and saying, well, you guys didn't support us.
00:08:42.660 You guys have been obstructive.
00:08:43.960 We're not being obstructive.
00:08:45.460 They made some minor changes to Bill C-5.
00:08:47.780 They did like, and so like it passed with a little, like, so the conservatives got a little bit out of it.
00:08:53.240 But they are mostly staying out of the way of Carney.
00:08:56.380 And if Carney doesn't get a pipeline built, if mines don't open, if oil and gas projects are not started, well, naturally, a lot of voters are going to turn on the liberals.
00:09:05.120 And that is smart politics from the conservatives.
00:09:08.940 Now, I do want to show you, actually, this is what David Coletto posted, who is the person who operates Abacus Data.
00:09:16.620 He posted the impression chart of Pierre Polyev.
00:09:20.060 Now, this is in major contrast with what Nanos has been showing on other pollsters.
00:09:26.820 I did show one, I believe, from Angus Reid, which also shows something similar to Abacus.
00:09:32.000 But some of the more liberal-leaning pollsters, and I don't mean that based on, like, I'm not saying that because of the ideology of the pollster.
00:09:39.580 I frankly don't know most of their ideologies, but in terms of the sampling of Nanos tends to be a little bit more liberal than the actual country is.
00:09:49.060 In that last poll we were just looking at was probably way too liberal.
00:09:52.980 But Abacus and Angus Reid have showed that Polyev is not unpopular.
00:09:57.780 Everyone keeps trying to play up the idea that Canadians rejected him, but they didn't.
00:10:03.520 It was that Canadians were fighting Trump.
00:10:06.040 That's what a lot of, frankly, retired Canadians were obsessed with in the election.
00:10:11.320 Now, if you're a retired Canadian, you probably voted Conservative if you're watching my show.
00:10:15.440 But naturally, people who are not working and they own their own homes, maybe live in a nice neighborhood,
00:10:21.500 you have kind of the luxury to vote for luxury issues.
00:10:25.780 You know, fighting back against Trump became the big thing with many liberal voters.
00:10:29.700 And you could blame the Conservative campaign for not doing enough to reach out to those voters and speak to issues that matter to them to win more of them back to capture, to win the election.
00:10:39.700 Because if you just won a couple more suburban neighborhoods, if you just swung the suburban vote, like, a few more points to Conservatives, they probably do end up winning the entire election.
00:10:50.760 But it wasn't, they didn't hate Polyev.
00:10:54.200 Yes, some people really didn't like Polyev.
00:10:55.980 I went door knocking.
00:10:57.000 There were people who were irrational Polyev haters.
00:11:00.280 But look at this here.
00:11:01.840 Right now, his approval rating is 42% disapproval, 41% approval.
00:11:07.420 That's better than it was during the election.
00:11:09.500 Like, his disapproval was really bad during the election.
00:11:11.840 Frankly, because of mainstream media propaganda, again, the mainstream media is not the be-all, end-all.
00:11:17.300 I don't like when people pretend, well, Conservatives can't win because the CBC is just going to slam them.
00:11:22.700 People are just going to, like, you know, slander the Conservatives and people won't vote for them.
00:11:26.860 It has an effect, not as much as you would think.
00:11:30.040 I would say, again, the big thing with the Conservatives is constituencies of voters that they spoke to specifically, like fishermen in Newfoundland or people who care about crime.
00:11:40.300 Asian voters usually really care about crime, and they had a much better crime policy than the Liberals did because the Liberals were not committing to getting rid of things like Bill C-75, Bill 5, the previous, not C-5, the one that just passed, but previously there was one that let people off for carrying actually illegal handguns easier. 0.92
00:11:59.800 So the Conservatives, by opposing things like safe supply drugs and decriminalization and whatnot and wanting harsher sentences for violent offenders and repeat offenders, they did really well in Richmond.
00:12:12.100 They did really well in Richmond Hill, Vaughn, by going after the anti-Semitism of the urban centers.
00:12:19.280 They ended up winning a lot of more heavily Jewish neighborhoods in places like, you know, the places around Melissa Lansman's riding Thornhill.
00:12:27.400 That's why Roman Baber beat Yahara Sachs is because she was enabling all of the Hamasniks going around harassing Jews. 1.00
00:12:34.140 So that was a good thing the Conservatives did.
00:12:37.080 But when it came to that upper middle class retired voter, I think the Conservatives just didn't say anything to them.
00:12:44.320 And that's why they ended up losing.
00:12:45.800 By the way, sorry this video is dragging a bit.
00:12:49.240 I do want to tease that I will be getting to an article later in this video where the left-wing rag, the Taiyi, in British Columbia ended up attacking me and a couple of my other colleagues at one BC party in British Columbia.
00:13:05.040 But now, just to quickly look at one more thing, I just want to show you guys this ridiculous attack on Peer Polyev.
00:13:14.620 And by the way, Polyev is actually doing what I've been saying and other people have been saying.
00:13:19.640 He is actually firming up on immigration.
00:13:21.940 He has said on his new podcast that he's launched, which is smart.
00:13:26.480 You know what?
00:13:26.880 It's even better than going on other people's podcasts.
00:13:29.260 Have your own podcast.
00:13:30.620 Say whatever you want there.
00:13:31.560 And he's not saying mild opinions, which is nice.
00:13:33.860 He said that he doesn't care if the Canadian population goes down by cutting immigration because right now we need an immigration reset.
00:13:41.980 We need to actually, you know, sort out our own domestic issues before letting any substantial amount of people in.
00:13:48.220 So that's exactly what I've been saying.
00:13:50.400 Slash immigration, 75%. 1.00
00:13:52.080 Oh, but maybe companies won't be able to hire workers at lower prices.
00:13:58.200 Who cares?
00:13:59.200 Cut their taxes.
00:14:00.380 That's what you should be running on.
00:14:01.860 Slash taxes across the board.
00:14:04.000 And so Polyev is doing the right thing.
00:14:06.340 If you're going to win the election, you've got to run on a big, audacious plan.
00:14:11.640 You don't win by seeing the liberals say, we're going to cut taxes by 1% under $50,000 and saying, well, we're going to cut taxes by 2.25%.
00:14:20.920 No, cut it by 5 points.
00:14:23.800 Go above that.
00:14:25.320 Cut it by 3 points.
00:14:26.860 And I'm not talking about like if you pay $1,000, we're going to knock off like $30 in taxes.
00:14:32.920 I mean like 3 points off of the rate that you pay.
00:14:36.560 Do that.
00:14:37.120 Say everything, every bracket above the minimum is going to go down by 20% overall in terms of the portion.
00:14:45.020 That would be great.
00:14:46.680 But, you know, if you run a mild campaign, you're going to get mild results. 0.92
00:14:50.780 So I just want to highlight this ridiculous thing.
00:14:53.760 I love how in theory they could just ignore it, but the liberals online are still just complaining about pure Polyev.
00:15:01.420 But this Debbie Bloodcloth person says, the left melting down over pure drinking American beer is my favorite thing on the internet.
00:15:08.240 And actually, I believe Rick Perkins pointed out, because he's drinking like a Coors.
00:15:12.260 Rick Perkins pointed out that it's literally currently made in Canada.
00:15:17.620 I know this.
00:15:18.380 I used to work in a liquor store.
00:15:19.480 There's tons of American brands that are made in Canada.
00:15:22.320 Because, do you think that they are going to make Coors in the middle of the Midwest and ship it up here?
00:15:28.020 Or why not just make it here and ship it around Canada with the same label and the same formula?
00:15:33.680 It's pretty obvious.
00:15:35.140 But this guy, Henry A., says, this guy wants to be Prime Minister of Canada at a time the American president is trying to crash the economy.
00:15:42.320 And he's drinking their beer.
00:15:44.540 P.S. Blackhats are the bad guys. 1.00
00:15:47.140 He's drinking their beer.
00:15:49.100 However, it's so tiring.
00:15:53.360 These people are tiring.
00:15:55.600 But yeah, that is the current state of the polls right now.
00:15:59.040 Oh, I didn't mention, I don't think, with Shreya Teest what the current seat count would look like with that abacus poll.
00:16:04.640 Obviously, it has the liberals a little bit up on the conservatives compared to the actual election results.
00:16:09.780 But the abacus poll modeled out, if you guys didn't read it for yourself yet, was 177 seats to the conservatives, 131, Locke, 25, NDP, 7, Greens, 3.
00:16:21.320 Again, I don't think the Greens are actually going to get 3.
00:16:23.940 In fact, one of those would probably go conservative.
00:16:26.940 Conservatives probably wouldn't fall in the seats.
00:16:29.100 They'd probably be up higher than this, but the liberals are basically just projected to gain a few more.
00:16:35.240 So right now, they would win a majority, but that's not surprising because, again, they are in a honeymoon period for their government.
00:16:43.200 It happens to every government.
00:16:44.640 When you win, people tend to like you more.
00:16:47.220 When you start failing, they will abandon you very quickly.
00:16:50.360 Not everyone, but those kind of fair-weather voters who like to pretend that they were on the winning team whether they voted for them or not.
00:16:56.700 Or maybe you didn't even vote.
00:16:58.800 But now, I'm going to get into this article right here that is titled,
00:17:03.360 1BC's Big Hiring Mistake.
00:17:05.880 The new party chose political purity over experience as it recruited key staff.
00:17:12.020 Now, they go after my friends Tim Teelman and Paul Ratchford, who are also on the team.
00:17:18.000 But I just want to get to my part.
00:17:19.920 By the way, guys, I've already been very upfront by the fact that I work for the 1BC party in the legislature.
00:17:26.700 I only make $25,000 doing this, which is basically nothing, as any of you would know.
00:17:33.140 And I do it because the whole point is I don't want to be labeled as some Albertan coming in to make like $100,000 a year to exploit some sort of base of donors.
00:17:43.420 Although, of course, I'm not paid by donors.
00:17:45.060 I work in the legislature.
00:17:45.860 Or to, like, you know, exploit taxpayer dollars or whatever.
00:17:49.580 So I make less than bare minimum because this is more of a passion rather than, like, the thing I'm trying to do as my career.
00:17:57.640 But I'm going to skip down to the part where they start attacking me, although they actually attack me first.
00:18:02.380 They say two of them, three main staffers, were conservative party of BC candidates who lost the last election.
00:18:12.000 The third was barred from ever seeking a federal conservative nomination in a Calgary riding.
00:18:17.260 Of course, they are referring to me who ran in Calgary Signal Hill.
00:18:21.080 By the way, that's something else the conservative party needs to fix.
00:18:23.960 Stop arbitrarily kicking people out of nominations.
00:18:26.640 I was arbitrarily kicked out because they didn't want me to beat the party favorite, who then still lost the nomination because I made sure he lost the nomination.
00:18:34.880 And then that same guy was appointed to another riding and lost it.
00:18:38.460 That's why Calgary Confederation is currently red.
00:18:41.820 But I digress.
00:18:43.160 Let's get into the actual meat and potatoes of this thing.
00:18:45.380 They say that would be Wyatt Claypool, who started working as an advisor to independent MLA Armstrong last month and now works in the same role for 1BC.
00:18:56.640 Claypool does not have a dazzling resume.
00:19:00.520 For starters, he is an Albertan.
00:19:02.340 Ooh, scary.
00:19:03.680 You would think a new BC political party would look for someone with roots and experience in the province.
00:19:09.340 Claypool has never lived or worked here, although I did live there for about a two and a half month period working for the BC Conservative Party.
00:19:17.080 He basically, this writer who, Paul Wilcox, some washed up hippie, seems to have just gone through my LinkedIn profile, which I don't update because I hate LinkedIn.
00:19:28.400 It would be very obvious to see that I have not updated in a very long time because I'm constantly doing things that I post elsewhere.
00:19:36.160 But he's just gone to LinkedIn to kind of, you know, pretend that I don't do anything.
00:19:40.700 He says, Claypool has never lived or worked here, nor has he worked in government or for a political party.
00:19:49.320 I have worked for multiple.
00:19:51.680 I have worked on several campaigns, not just in volunteer positions, although sometimes I do things for free, even though I'm in a position where usually you would get paid.
00:19:59.840 I've worked for the Alberta UCP.
00:20:01.680 I've worked for the New Blue Party.
00:20:03.160 I've worked for many federal campaigns in volunteer positions and in, like, positions where I'm doing advertising.
00:20:11.760 I've done that for third-party organizations.
00:20:14.240 I do a lot of stuff, often not for pay, which makes it seem like you're not substantial.
00:20:18.520 Oh, you didn't get paid?
00:20:19.920 Well, you must not be very valuable.
00:20:21.480 I tell people not to pay me because the whole point is I want them to keep as much money on the field.
00:20:26.220 Even in British Columbia, when I was a campaign manager and organizer, I took very little money compared to other people in the BC Conservatives.
00:20:34.220 By the way, the BC Conservatives are currently around $5.3 million in debt because a bunch of them overpaid themselves, overpaid contractors for not doing very good work.
00:20:44.420 I got very little overall, and I didn't even bill anything to the donors of that party.
00:20:49.280 This is also why I now work for 1BC, because I can't stand the way that the BC Conservatives treat their donors and their members.
00:20:57.620 But going on, it says,
00:20:59.760 In fact, Claypool doesn't have much of a work history.
00:21:02.680 Part-time at a liquor store as he studied towards a master's degree award two years ago,
00:21:07.280 and then co-owner and presenter with the National Telegraph, which shares his amazingly dull political commentaries.
00:21:14.680 Add to that the fact that pure poly of Conservatives refused to allow the then 24-year-old Claypool to try and win the party nomination, Calgary Signal Hill, disqualifying him for undisclosed reasons.
00:21:27.080 They always do that to basically imply, hmm, must be something wrong with him.
00:21:30.960 Must have said something racist.
00:21:33.120 Must have said something just absolutely indefensible.
00:21:36.600 Not at all.
00:21:37.600 I was kicked out because I was going to beat the party favorite.
00:21:40.480 That was basically it.
00:21:41.360 Claypool exposes the usual right-wing, socially conservative orthodoxy.
00:21:47.580 There are too many immigrants. 1.00
00:21:49.800 Fact check true.
00:21:51.420 Especially poor ones.
00:21:52.900 They slip that in there to imply, like, I have a contemptuous attitude towards, like, poor people.
00:21:59.220 Obviously not.
00:22:00.140 If you guys have ever watched my show, every time I bring up immigration, if I specifically talk about people who are low income,
00:22:06.120 I'm usually talking about it from the perspective that it's not only not good for the country to bring in this many people who don't have good skills, 0.93
00:22:13.100 it's not good for those people in general.
00:22:15.040 Coming to a country like this, where you need a lot of wealth and skills to actually live comfortably,
00:22:20.140 especially if you're going to have a larger family,
00:22:22.080 it's bad for those people coming in from other countries who don't have built-up wealth and don't have skills,
00:22:26.960 and are going to be living as effectively rent seekers for their entire lives if they actually end up sticking around here.
00:22:33.640 Like, maybe their kids will do better, but this is not, like, a place where you can, like, just, you know,
00:22:39.060 put your nose to the grindstone and live in a nice house or even own a home at all.
00:22:44.420 Maybe if we lowered taxes and did other stuff like that, we could, but you'd also have to lower immigration. 0.51
00:22:48.900 But again, he slips it in there saying, like, oh, he, especially poor ones, as if I have, like,
00:22:54.480 if I've gone on some sort of, like, anti-poor immigrant ranch or something like that,
00:22:58.160 like, screw these people for wanting to make money. 0.92
00:23:01.100 Oh, my goodness. 0.58
00:23:02.760 And then he puts in quotes, because I have said this, I'm proudly pro-life and pro-pipeline.
00:23:08.500 He throws it in there because the tie is very anti-pipeline, very anti-lown gas.
00:23:12.720 They cut taxes, and then they quote my bio from my X account, Baptist Zionist Neocon, 0.75
00:23:19.300 as he describes himself on X.
00:23:21.860 So, yeah, that was their attack on me.
00:23:23.860 They go on to Paul Ratchford and Tim Teelman, who, again, they just take things out of context
00:23:28.620 to pretend that they're, like, deeply bigoted individuals.
00:23:33.220 No. 0.77
00:23:33.880 Or they even go after Tim Teelman here, which is disgusting,
00:23:36.500 for saying he came in a distant third place in Victoria Oak Ridge or Oak Hill or whatever,
00:23:43.200 Beacon Hill, in the provincial election.
00:23:45.860 It is the most left-wing riding in the entire province, and he didn't come in a distant third.
00:23:51.860 He got, like, 25% of the vote, with the Green candidate getting, like, 28 or, like, 30,
00:23:57.760 and then the NDP getting, like, 37 or something like that.
00:24:01.420 It was a pretty good showing for a riding where usually the conservative isn't expected
00:24:06.580 to even be close to the next person in line.
00:24:10.060 This is, like, a very divided, like, left-wing riding, and he did, like, generally pretty well.
00:24:16.480 I think he actually might have done better than 25%.
00:24:18.280 I'd have to go check. 0.58
00:24:20.000 But, yeah, it's just a nasty article written, again, by what I would consider to be a washed-up hippie. 0.71
00:24:25.640 You know, all these guys went from, in the 60s and 70s, being LSD to today being HOA.
00:24:32.900 They are pretending like they're still standing up to the man by criticizing somebody with bad information
00:24:40.180 who is less than half their age because, I guess, that this is them standing up to fascism,
00:24:46.560 standing up to somebody who is in favor of small government and family values.
00:24:50.780 Oh, whatever. 0.73
00:24:51.240 So, good work on the TIE for still sucking at their jobs. 0.60
00:24:55.420 But what can you expect from government-subsidized media?
00:24:58.540 Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys, on this show.
00:25:02.260 Make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment,
00:25:05.640 do all that fantastic stuff, and I will see you guys next time.
00:25:09.240 Thank you.
