00:00:00.480 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. One of my favorite things to watch right now in Canadian politics
00:00:07.120 is the utter collapse of the Alberta NDP under the leadership of former Calgary Mayor Nahid
00:00:13.840 Nenshi. It's a fascinating case study, a party that decided that likability does not matter
00:00:20.400 right before making Nahid Nenshi their leader. It feels like every single day,
00:00:25.280 Nenshi's advisors must rush into his office, point at him and say, keep being condescending.
00:00:30.880 Be even more alienating to working class people. Don't message to anyone who isn't already a 0.90
00:00:36.960 metropolitan hyper-progressive. That stuff may all work when you're just running for the mayor of a
00:00:42.400 large city, but when you actually start to need the votes from people in the suburbs or working
00:00:47.760 class people in small towns in Alberta, you're not gonna win. But Nenshi is too arrogant to realize
00:00:54.720 how he's actually alienating Albertans, and he keeps plowing on running as if he just needs to
00:01:00.560 become the mayor of Calgary again, and he just needs those downtown metropolitan progressives in
00:01:06.880 order to sail into office. It's absolutely hilarious to watch. So right now, I want to
00:01:13.200 break down for you guys some of the marketing material the Alberta NDP has been putting out,
00:01:19.120 why it's pathetic, and then I want to talk about the by-elections happening on June 23rd.
00:01:24.720 There are three going on, and I think the NDP are only going to win one of them, that being Edmonton 0.57
00:01:30.640 Strathcona, where Nahid Nenshi himself is running. And it's not difficult to win Edmonton Strathcona.
00:01:36.880 It's the riding that the NDP used to win even back when they only had one seat. It's literally impossible
00:01:43.280 to lose Edmonton Strathcona, but they may lose another Edmonton riding, Edmonton Ellerslie,
00:01:49.040 despite the fact that both in 2023 as well as 2019, the NDP won 100% of ridings in Edmonton.
00:01:57.840 This is even a riding, Edmonton Ellerslie, that the NDP won with 61% of the vote in 2023,
00:02:03.920 and right now it is a very close race. The UCP making the very good decision of putting in the
00:02:09.920 former PCMLA as their candidate in this election. It was the guy who was basically the MLA up until
00:02:17.360 2015, ended up running again. He didn't even get defeated in 2015. He just didn't end up running
00:02:22.160 again. And now he's coming out of retirement 10 years later to kick around the NDP once again. So
00:02:27.520 I will be cheering him on. But before I get into the main issues of this video, I just want to do
00:02:34.000 a quick plug for mayoral candidate Sonia Sharp in Calgary. Yes, I, Wyatt Claypool, am a Calgarian,
00:02:41.920 and I don't like progressives running this city. So I just want to let you guys know there is
00:02:46.960 actually a conservative candidate running for mayor. It is Sonia Sharp from Ward 1. She's currently
00:02:52.160 the Ward 1 counselor, is actually a fiscal hawk, is actually pushing back on things like blanket
00:02:58.320 rezoning, drugs, wants more money behind the police. It's an actual conservative candidate.
00:03:03.440 So in the description below and pinned at the top of the comments, I have a link for lawn signs for
00:03:08.880 her. If you're a conservative in Calgary, please vote for Sonia Sharp. Everyone else is on the left in
00:03:15.440 one way or the other. You have Jody Gondek, the current mayor who is an absolute progressive nightmare.
00:03:21.360 You have this Thiessen guy who is one of these progressives in disguise like Jody Gondek used to
00:03:26.320 be, where what he's saying is we need to be more responsible with our spending, but he will never
00:03:31.040 commit to actually reducing spending. He's not actually committing to increasing the police budget
00:03:35.440 or anything like that. He's just going to be one of these guys saying we need to be fiscally
00:03:38.960 responsible and he's just going to jack up taxes. You have people like Jeff Davison running who's
00:03:43.440 conservative, although when he was a counselor there was not a single tax increase he did not vote for.
00:03:48.560 And then you have Jeremy Farkas who used to be a conservative and then his brain was like
00:03:53.680 stolen from him and now he is this weird wishy-washy progressive who uses slightly fiscally
00:03:59.680 conservative language but on pretty much every other issue is a leftist these days.
00:04:04.720 So if you live in Calgary, please, my goodness, vote for Sonia Sharp. Link in the description below.
00:04:10.640 Please sign up for a lawn sign. I want her to have like 15,000 lawn signs to make sure that every 1.00
00:04:16.640 conservative in the city knows who to vote for because in past municipal elections like everywhere
00:04:22.080 around Canada, conservatives don't know who to consolidate behind so they end up getting behind
00:04:26.400 like five candidates. Vote for Sonia Sharp. That is it. That is the only conservative option in Calgary.
00:04:33.040 I will give up more recommendations as time goes on in cities like Edmonton or Lethbridge once I can
00:04:38.640 identify an actual conservative person that people should get behind but that's my pick for Calgary
00:04:44.160 at the moment. That's who I will be voting for. Anyways, so let's get into it. Here is Nahid Nenshi
00:04:51.200 talking about Danielle Smith and her dangerous separatist agenda which is hilarious because if you
00:04:58.320 watch anything from Danielle Smith these days she is absolutely anti-separatist and but Nenshi can't run 1.00
00:05:04.320 against that. So he's literally just wish casting an enemy for him to run against and so he's pretending
00:05:11.120 like she's pushing the separatist agenda because if he doesn't run against this he's going to have
00:05:17.360 to run against a fiscal record that's far better than what he would be doing in government so he has
00:05:22.240 to make it about another issue. Check this out. Montreal used to be the financial and business
00:05:27.840 center of this country and it's not anymore precisely because we had governments in Quebec
00:05:33.760 who were flirting with separatism. Danielle Smith will cost us so much. She'll cost us the health 0.92
00:05:38.800 care we rely on, the financial security we worked hard for, the home that we know and love.
00:05:43.280 I don't, I never understand his weird like mannerisms when he talks. This is again one of
00:05:51.600 those things where you should have like an image coach around basically saying Nenshi every time
00:05:57.280 you're talking can you not literally turn your nose up at people and flutter your eyelashes like you
00:06:02.560 couldn't care less about having to deliver this message and my goodness why do I even have to say
00:06:07.920 these things? People should just already know it. He is so professorial in a bad way and again what
00:06:15.680 is he even talking about? She's going to be risking our prosperity and our health care for by doing what? 0.97
00:06:22.480 She is a federalist. She is not in favor of Alberta independence. She's in favor of more sovereignty
00:06:28.640 for Alberta but that's a totally different thing. In fact the only thing she's done that people have
00:06:33.680 been trying to say is pro-separatist is reducing the threshold for citizen-led referendum petitions
00:06:40.160 which is not a bad thing. The threshold before was like 600,000 signatures which in Alberta is like
00:06:46.160 getting a quarter of registered voters to sign your petition which I shouldn't have to tell you is like
00:06:52.400 borderline impossible. You have 60 days to get a quarter of people who can vote to sign. Have you ever
00:06:58.880 gone door knocking? It's hard sometimes to even get one in four people to open the door and you're
00:07:04.000 thinking that you're going to get 25% of registered voters to sign something to get a petition going.
00:07:09.840 So she lowered it to 177,000 which is still difficult but it's realistic and this is what he's going to
00:07:16.160 consider to be like a big separatist move. She'll cost us our economy because she's not just picking 1.00
00:07:22.000 fights with Ottawa anymore. She's picking apart our country and I will say this today to Danielle Smith
00:07:29.280 if you want to flirt with separatism put your money where your mouth is. She's not. Call the referendum
00:07:35.440 yourself. She doesn't want to. Do it now. Let Albertans resoundingly defeat your vision. It's not
00:07:41.600 her vision. And then leave public life. Why don't you, my goodness. Bring it on. And so today I have a call
00:07:48.240 to action to our fellow Albertans. It's time for all of us to draw the line and tell Danielle Smith
00:07:53.920 she has gone too far to say loud and clear we will not stand for Danielle Smith's separatist agenda.
00:08:01.120 It's just so sanctimonious and they realize why they're they wonder why they're so far down the
00:08:06.240 polls. I need to show you the polls which I showed a few days ago but I then want to show you the reaction
00:08:11.520 from leftists themselves who think he's an idiot. So here is Evan Scrimshaw who is a liberal consultant 0.99
00:08:20.080 and organizer going after Nenshi for being an awful leader. He's reacting to the abacus data poll which
00:08:26.480 shows the UCP is leading by 25 to 26 percent depending on if you round up or down and that's
00:08:32.720 even with 10 percent of people picking other which is mostly going to be like pro-separatist people
00:08:38.960 in that category. I know people sometimes don't like when I say pro-separatist, pro-independence,
00:08:43.040 whatever flavor of the word that you like, that's what that 10 percent is mostly representing. Maybe
00:08:47.760 like a point for the Alberta party, one point or two points for the Alberta liberals which basically
00:08:52.000 don't exist. This is bad. Maybe abacus data is totally off. Janet Brown also did a poll. She's one 0.89
00:09:00.080 of the most accurate pollsters in the country and she even had the UCP up by 14 points. So if it's
00:09:06.800 somewhere in the middle the NDP is still dead in the water because remember UCP won the last
00:09:12.560 election in 2023 the popular vote by eight percent. It was close because Calgary was very close and the
00:09:19.120 NDP ended up winning where they needed to so they swept Edmonton. They won one of the Lethbridge
00:09:24.560 ridings and then they needed like the majority or like two-thirds of the Calgary ridings and they fell
00:09:29.360 short by a couple or a few but those ridings were still close. But if the UCP, if it was close in
00:09:35.600 Calgary with the UCP having an eight percent popular vote win, if it goes up to 14 percent that
00:09:41.760 means the NDP are probably only winning three ridings in Calgary at most. They would be way,
00:09:47.440 way back and now they may even start losing Edmonton ridings. But let's jump up to what
00:09:52.160 Evan Scrimshaw says because I do believe, I do think that this is actually quite interesting and
00:09:56.480 I want to jump over someone who agrees with him who again is not conservative by any means.
00:10:01.840 Evan Scrimshaw says, with these new abacus numbers, time for me to re-up my column last week.
00:10:08.000 Nahid Nenshi, leadership of the NDP has been an effing disaster and it's time we say so in public as
00:10:14.080 opposed to tap dancing around it. And then this is agreed with by a guy named Chris Berthelot.
00:10:22.320 Yeah, I think that's how you say that. I'm so sorry if I ever mispronounce people's names.
00:10:26.240 This man is absolutely progressive. Even just look at his bio here. Raised in Alberta on,
00:10:33.040 you know, Canadian flag, Ukraine flag, trans flag, LGBT flag. The man's a progressive.
00:10:39.280 And this guy in Alberta as a progressive with the NDP being the main political vehicle for him says,
00:10:45.680 Evan's pretty on point with his column, but I'd like to add a few thoughts. First, the NDP are invisible.
00:10:51.520 You barely see any messaging and most of the messaging you do is Nenshi-centric. In 2023,
00:10:56.720 the NDP were doing pension town halls. Now, nothing. And then he goes on to describe the fact
00:11:02.560 the NDP has basically just been talking about a few niche issues that Nenshi cares about and that
00:11:08.960 they're not running any ads. They're not doing anything public. I don't even think that's exactly
00:11:14.240 accurate. I think what Chris is describing is something that he's noticing something that he
00:11:20.800 can't quite put his finger on because he's a progressive and doesn't realize that this is
00:11:25.680 actually the thing that's happening. Socially left-wing issues do not win. So when he thinks
00:11:32.400 the NDP are nowhere, it's because they don't really get a lot of media coverage. There's no
00:11:36.640 hype around what the NDP is saying because everything the NDP is saying is not popular.
00:11:41.360 You don't need to run ads to get attention. Parties do it all the time. By just messaging
00:11:47.040 to the public, they can get a big groundswell of support both in real life and on social media
00:11:51.920 by taking on the right issues. Do you know what's an issue that left-wing progressives
00:11:57.040 in Alberta have been taking on? Well, talking about how the UCP is supposedly banning books.
00:12:04.960 It's censorship because they are taking basically pornography off bookshelves.
00:12:10.560 So this guy, The Breakdown, who is a big favorite of the NDP, says,
00:12:15.120 while the UCP is banning books, on Sunday we took a look at some of the facts, some facts that make
00:12:20.160 it painfully clear why having age-appropriate materials for youth that deal with the subjects
00:12:24.800 of bullying, sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm, and suicide is so important.
00:12:29.520 Well, what are these books? Well, they're things like, if I can find this right here,
00:12:34.960 let me scroll up a bit, it's stuff like genderqueer.
00:12:40.640 This book is pretty notorious at this point for basically being pornography delivered to children
00:12:46.800 and under the guise of being, like, informative, educational. I want to show him trying to defend
00:12:54.240 this stuff because it's patently absurd. Here is Nate Pike from The Breakdown.
00:12:58.960 Instead of acknowledging that there is a staggering number of kids who deal with the issues that these
00:13:07.200 books try to talk about instead of dealing with that, we have these press secretaries and these UCP
00:13:15.440 candidates and these pick-me's running forward with bad representations and emotional but profoundly
00:13:23.360 misleading arguments to try to get people fired up and afraid.
00:13:28.080 Misleading. Do you know what you have to do to get people against these books? Just show them the books.
00:13:35.600 Parents are only okay with this stuff when they don't know what's happening. As soon as any parent
00:13:41.280 is notified about this stuff, you get 90% of parents against you. This is why the parental rights
00:13:47.680 issue was so bad for the left over the last couple of years. If you did any polling on it, 80% of parents
00:13:54.480 were in favor of parental rights measures being implemented, requiring parental notification of
00:14:00.480 things like sex ed, having to actually give parents over the materials, or having it be pure opt-in
00:14:07.120 because people don't trust the education system anymore because they put things like genderqueer
00:14:12.240 in libraries that are accessible to elementary school kids.
00:14:18.080 So let's talk about some actual facts.
00:14:24.000 According to the Children's Health Policy from the Simon Fraser University in 2024,
00:14:30.480 suicide is the second leading cause of death in this country behind only unintentional injuries
00:14:42.480 for 15 to 19 year olds, and it's the third leading cause for 10 to 14 year olds.
00:14:48.800 Okay, why do we then need books depicting sexual activity with minors to children?
00:14:57.120 And maybe it's because this stuff has been on the rise in schools, that you're starting to have
00:15:03.680 more mental health issues, that we are teaching kids things that they shouldn't know, that we're
00:15:08.880 forcing uncomfortable subjects and things that nobody should be looking at on the eyes of people
00:15:14.640 under the age of 18. I'm just going to put it out there that that may be a contributing factor to all
00:15:20.160 this, that when you have more of it and things get worse, more of what we were already doing may not be
00:15:26.080 the way. But this is what this guy does. It's emotional manipulation. You need the book genderqueer 0.95
00:15:34.080 in schools because kids are getting hurt. Kids are getting hurt is not an argument for having
00:15:40.720 pornography in schools. I'm sorry, you're an idiot if you think that. That's ridiculous. But anyways, 1.00
00:15:48.080 I digress and I need to move on to something else. I need to, this is just a minor thing,
00:15:53.440 but goodness, I don't know what the NDP is thinking by putting out videos like this.
00:15:59.120 Nenshi's people don't seem to have anyone who actually has ever worked in communications on
00:16:04.160 their team. And they keep putting out these ridiculous videos where like Nenshi is like cast
00:16:09.280 twice on screen. I don't even really care what he's talking about here. I think he's proposing
00:16:13.760 some changes to insurance policy in Alberta. It's not even really worth listening to because I
00:16:19.280 actually don't like the UCP flirting with no fault insurance in Alberta. The NDP are also in favor of
00:16:25.200 no fault insurance. And basically he's just arguing against the fact that UCP hasn't fully nationalized
00:16:30.800 the insurance system, which is no fault insurance times 10 in terms of how bad it would be. It would be
00:16:35.760 like British Columbia. Under Danielle Smith, life is getting more and more. But why is there a
00:16:40.640 vertical shot on top of a horizontal shot to make one vertical video? It's the same thing. It's not
00:16:46.240 even like a different angle to give some sort of like theatricality to it. Expensive in Alberta.
00:16:51.440 Auto insurance is a prime example. We pay the highest premiums in the country. And after a year
00:16:57.680 studying it, Danielle Smith's solution was increase auto insurance by 15%. So we'll go from the highest rates
00:17:04.560 in the country to even higher rates. You'll lose the ability to sue if you're injured in an accident.
00:17:09.760 Danielle Smith doesn't listen to Albertans. She listens to lobbyists. On June 23rd,
00:17:14.400 send Danielle Smith a message and in the by-elections, vote Alberta New Democrat.
00:17:19.920 People aren't going to. This is where that one Chris Berthelot guy may be right. I have not
00:17:26.800 really seen many ads from the NDP leading up to these by-elections. It's like they're already
00:17:31.920 resigned to the fact that they're going to lose. And in Edmonton Ellerslie, I was looking at who
00:17:37.840 the NDP's candidate was. And if you look at his social media, it very much feels like the kind of
00:17:45.520 the problem with Canadian politics is that you have people who don't really seem to have any interest in
00:17:50.880 being Canadian now running for election to represent Canadians in provincial or federal office.
00:17:56.880 Their candidate here is Gurtej Singh Brar, who, as I was going through his Facebook,
00:18:03.920 everything's just in Punjabi. Can you post in Punjabi if you're Punjabi? Fair enough. Everything's in
00:18:09.360 Punjabi. I noticed that a lot of the ads that involved Gurtej didn't actually have him speaking.
00:18:17.920 And I'm wondering if it's because his English isn't good enough to speak. And in this one,
00:18:22.480 he was promoting the teachings of Osho. You know, the guy who ran the Rajneesh Puram cult 0.95
00:18:28.320 in Oregon. I was assured that people in India have a different perspective on what that guy was like.
00:18:35.200 I also had him promoting other kind of stuff around Calistan and whatnot. These aren't Canadian 1.00
00:18:41.600 sorts of perspectives on things. And I think that is bad in general in politics in the long run,
00:18:46.480 that you have people with very wildly different perspectives on different figures and world
00:18:52.240 events because of just where they're from, the culture that they they grow up in. I heard he's
00:18:57.040 actually from New Zealand and he moved to Alberta. But the thing that struck me was there wasn't really
00:19:02.400 anything like typically Canadian about anything that he was posting, nothing really about Canadian
00:19:07.600 politics. Most of it was Punjabi politics, which it appears like he may have never even grown up there,
00:19:12.800 maybe. But he then moved to New Zealand and then moved to Alberta. So I don't know why this guy is
00:19:18.720 running for the NDP. If you're trying to get, you know, Albertans to vote for you, run a guy from Alberta
00:19:24.160 who, you know, has engaged in Alberta politics, not a guy who used to work for Omni News, a very pro-Calistani
00:19:31.040 news outlet who spends most of its time just ragging on Nehendra Modi in India. But anyways, you know,
00:19:38.880 what do I know? Maybe I just don't understand politics like these guys do. I just want to jump
00:19:43.360 over to even their promotion of this guy. And I found it very funny, just this one line. This isn't
00:19:49.840 actually that important. But you just see right here, Alberta New Democrats nominate Gertaj Singh
00:19:55.040 Brar for Edmonton Ellerslie by-election. And they couldn't actually, I liked how they just told you how
00:20:00.720 many members there were here. It says, after an intense nomination race with over 3,800 local
00:20:06.880 members engaged, Gertaj Singh Brar has been nominated by members of Alberta's New Democrats
00:20:11.920 in Edmonton Ellerslie after a successful vote on Wednesday, May 14th. There is no chance 3,800
00:20:19.200 people voted in that nomination. You don't have federal conservative nominations with that many votes in
00:20:26.800 them. At very least, not usually. It's pretty rare to have that many. Do you know what this
00:20:32.720 probably is? There was just a lot of memberships for Nenshi sold last year that haven't quite expired
00:20:38.880 yet. So it makes it look like there's a lot of engagement in Edmonton Ellerslie when I guarantee
00:20:44.080 you there's pretty much none. I guarantee nobody really knows this guy who isn't from the community
00:20:49.680 and watches him and his YouTube channel. Also, I went to Social Blade, if you know about that.
00:20:58.160 It's a website where you can go look up YouTube channels and their viewership stats.
00:21:02.960 And as I predicted to myself, you notice a bunch of videos get deleted in the middle of April.
00:21:09.600 And when I was going through it, it looked like it was not going to be super kosher opinions
00:21:14.720 about Indian politics and other things. So yeah, they may have been running somebody who's not
00:21:20.480 exactly very marketable if you actually knew everything about him and all of his views on
00:21:26.240 different things. But I guess they can run who they want to run. But yeah, everything about the NDP
00:21:33.360 is just bad these days. Everything is so Nenshi-centric. At the same time, he is one of their worst assets. 1.00
00:21:40.640 I want to jump over to the abacus polling information here because I want to show you
00:21:47.200 that this was not like a pro-separatist poll. Look at this. Likelihood that Alberta would leave Canada.
00:21:54.640 Only 14 percent of people think it's unlikely. 63 percent of people say it's unlikely.
00:22:00.320 This is not a poll that was conducted to try and pump up the separatist movement.
00:22:04.400 And even then, Daniel Smith and the UCP are doing quite well.
00:22:08.080 Can I find the recent one when it comes to Alberta on the provincial stuff? I don't think I can find
00:22:14.400 that right now. I'll get to you guys a little bit later. But again, it demonstrates why likability
00:22:21.120 does matter in politics. Nenshi could win in Calgary when there isn't really an easy way of
00:22:27.600 getting enough people behind a conservative to beat the progressive, because the progressives usually
00:22:31.920 have a lot of union front groups behind them, unions not even using front groups behind them,
00:22:36.800 whereas conservatives because, you know, they're independent and grassroots. They end up having
00:22:41.360 six or seven people run for mayor who are conservatives because it's a conservative city,
00:22:45.120 and people kind of evenly spread out among all of them. And then a progressive with 32 percent,
00:22:49.680 36 percent of the vote ends up sneaking through and becoming the mayor. But yeah, this is why people need
00:22:55.680 to organize better. Ellerslie is going to be a big litmus test. Olds, Didsbury, Three Hills is also
00:23:01.600 going to be a litmus test for Danielle Smith and the UCP. If they can fend off the Republican Party 0.99
00:23:06.800 and keep them below 15 percent of the vote, I think what you're going to see is the UCP
00:23:11.840 strengthen before 2027, and the NDP is going to keep receding, especially if they lose Edmond
00:23:17.760 to Nellerslie. Even if they win, if it gets close, that's going to be a major red flag for the NDP.
00:23:24.480 One, I'm happy to see. I don't want them managing this province. This is not a current state, like the
00:23:29.920 current state of affairs in Alberta are perfectly fine in my mind. And I'm somebody who is not like
00:23:35.360 a Daniel Smith fanboy. I voted against her in the leadership review last year. It's not because I hate
00:23:41.600 her guts or anything like that. It's because I didn't think that they were moving fast enough on
00:23:45.520 certain priorities. I knew she was going to pass the leadership review vote, so I was saying no
00:23:49.840 because I wanted to make it clear there is a certain portion of people who want them to cut taxes,
00:23:54.880 regulations, and start moving forward on things like the Alberta Provincial Police and other
00:23:59.920 promises that they had made previously. They had been kind of being wishy-washy and sluggish on them,
00:24:05.520 so I said no on her leadership review vote because I wanted there to be that, you know, room for
00:24:10.400 improvement. And they actually have improved. They are cutting taxes. They are doing some stuff like that.
00:24:15.280 They need to get control of the spending in AHS. In fact, they actually should be probably
00:24:19.360 cutting spending all over the government, including in AHS, because spending has never
00:24:24.480 been the problem with the healthcare system. It's money allocation. We actually wildly overspend on
00:24:29.840 education and healthcare in this province, but we just don't allocate the money properly. So we end up
00:24:35.520 with the highest per capita spending on healthcare, but the longest wait times because the money has nothing
00:24:40.720 to do with it. It has to do with too much administrative bloat, which means most dollars
00:24:45.440 are not being spent on frontline workers. It's being spent on people filing paperwork reports about
00:24:50.960 nothing. Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys, in this video. Make sure to like the video,

00:25:06.720 I do not want Jody Gondek to get another term, and I don't want her being replaced
00:25:11.520 by some wishy-washy, in-the-middle, center-left guy like Jeff Davison or Jeremy Farkas. So please
00:25:18.000 vote for Sonia Sharp if you live in Calgary. Get a lawn sign for her. See you guys later. 0.78
