00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:05.840 When I show you this clip, you'll know exactly why I had to theme an entire video around it.
00:00:12.320 So, NDP leader Nahid Nenshi was recently at a parade in Lethbridge.
00:00:19.140 There's no other story to it other than he was at a parade, and the NDP, this is not a video that I dug up from someone who hates him,
00:00:27.160 someone who edited a video of context this is from Naheed Nenshi the Alberta NDP's leader's
00:00:33.500 own account and it says it's a great day to be Canadian because his whole theme these days is
00:00:39.000 that he's pro-Canada and Daniel Smith is somehow a secret super duper separatist or whatever
00:00:45.060 she's not no politician in Alberta would be foolish enough to do that that's not because
00:00:51.060 if you support independence that that is somehow like a foolish thing to do but it's just true that
00:00:56.600 the support's around 30%. No one's going to embrace a movement that has a minority support
00:01:01.500 in this province. Just from a pure numbers perspective, someone's not going to support it
00:01:07.300 as a leader. And Daniel Smith doesn't even support it in principle, but regardless.
00:01:13.400 So he's doing this whole I'm Canadian thing, and he posted this video of him walking in a parade
00:01:19.260 as if this was going to do great on social media in some way. Him standing up for Canada
00:01:24.800 in front of this crowd of people in Lethbridge.
00:01:27.780 Good morning.
00:01:29.540 It's a great day for a parade.
00:01:32.800 Great to see you all.
00:01:35.280 Great day to be Canadian.
00:01:39.040 Nice to see you.
00:01:41.140 Good morning.
00:01:42.020 Good morning.
00:01:46.840 Is it just me, or does everyone not seem super thrilled
00:01:52.780 to see Mr. Nenshi there?
00:01:54.800 There's, like, no sound.
00:01:56.700 It is crickets.
00:01:58.340 I don't know if maybe his editor hates him or something like that.
00:02:02.020 I would have just detached the audio from the clip, deleted it on Final Cut Pro,
00:02:07.900 and just thrown in some, like, generic type music in the background.
00:02:14.000 And it looks like, look, he's out there supporting Canada.
00:02:16.940 He's wearing the Canadian flag shirt that's really ugly, honestly.
00:02:21.680 Like, man, I like the Canadian flag.
00:02:23.680 Like, do not turn it into a shirt.
00:02:25.440 It's just going to pucker and gap in all the wrong places.
00:02:29.540 I would have done that.
00:02:30.920 But for some reason, his editor hates his guts and decided to reveal the fact that there's nobody cheering for him.
00:02:37.440 Good morning.
00:02:39.020 It's a great day for a parade.
00:02:42.000 Why would you say that?
00:02:43.480 Like, why is that relevant?
00:02:45.380 It's a great day for a parade.
00:02:46.500 It's a good day for doing whatever I am currently in the middle of doing.
00:02:50.120 Great to see you all.
00:02:51.540 great day to be canadian okay i guess so
00:02:58.740 nice to see you there's like there's like maybe one person waving and i'm not even sure if it was
00:03:06.900 at him good morning
00:03:08.860 nobody like they couldn't they couldn't they get some ndp volunteers to like stand behind them and
00:03:19.000 have a small pack of people wearing like i don't know similarly you know kind of weird shirts
00:03:24.480 standing behind him because they would be wearing like mdp orange shirts kind of like the his mla
00:03:30.220 from the left area i believe it's a lethbridge east i like how he kind of like appears in the
00:03:35.840 frame too he kind of like slides right in next to nenshi to kind of create it create a bit of a
00:03:41.400 two-man sort of you know motorcycle sidecar kind of a crowd they don't have anyone but at least
00:03:47.440 They're like kind of sticking them together, looking like one big super person by standing next to each other.
00:03:53.300 I don't know why they posted this.
00:03:55.060 And I'm going to show you more Nenshi clips as I go on.
00:03:57.260 But the man is devolving into self-parody, pretending like he is the hero of Canada,
00:04:03.820 being cheered on by crowds of Albertans all over the province because he's fighting that evil separatist Danielle Smith.
00:04:12.320 No one's buying it.
00:04:13.260 And by the way, on October 19th, when the referendum vote happens, and it's just not going to win. I'm not naysaying anyone. In fact, actually, it sounds like this not being a binding vote, based on the new Angus Reid poll that came out, is actually going to benefit the referendum vote by a few points or so, because obviously it's not going to make anything happen right away. Nothing would technically happen at all.
00:04:37.860 So more people are actually encouraged to vote for it to like thumb their nose at Ottawa.
00:04:41.820 And I can understand people voting for it for that reason.
00:04:45.620 But again, like the idea that he's just not getting nearly as much juice out of this issue
00:04:50.940 than he thinks.
00:04:51.540 And it's going to be a dead issue by October.
00:04:54.440 What else?
00:04:54.840 Is he going to still be wearing the Canadian flag shirt, walking around parades, pretending
00:04:58.880 like this is doing anything?
00:05:00.920 But now let's move on to another video.
00:05:04.060 So I'm going to start off with this video.
00:05:07.880 We did a town hall on data center stuff.
00:05:10.220 Now, I know there's a lot of people skeptical of data centers.
00:05:12.860 I'm not saying telling you not to be skeptical of them.
00:05:15.060 Sure, healthy skepticism is good.
00:05:17.280 If you're going to approve one, if you're going to build one,
00:05:19.760 you've got to go through all the same hoops that a waste treatment plant
00:05:22.360 would have to go through, power plant, all the sorts of things.
00:05:25.300 Obviously, we don't build like a coal or gas power plant right next to a residential area,
00:05:31.100 and nor should a data center be built that way.
00:05:32.980 And the UCP government in Alberta, I can assure you, is not doing that. It would be really dumb. There'd be complaints because they do make noise, just as any sort of heavy utility type thing tends to make noise.
00:05:44.240 But the NDP is just fully leaning in on the crowd who's just against it no matter what.
00:05:50.920 You know, obviously, they're not going to raise your power prices.
00:05:54.880 The government's not suicidal enough to think, let's just build a data center.
00:05:59.460 Let's just let someone build a data center.
00:06:01.020 And they don't have to provide any more power.
00:06:03.620 They don't have to expand the power infrastructure or the grid at all.
00:06:07.260 We'll just let the residents have to deal with higher costs.
00:06:10.280 That's going to be taken care of.
00:06:11.920 But the NDP is just leaning into the anti-data center crowd on the extreme far left.
00:06:18.400 The same people who are against fracking and whatnot and who use the exact same tactics against data centers.
00:06:24.000 Look at those jar of dirty water.
00:06:26.160 Data center water cooling systems aren't even open to the water system.
00:06:30.200 They are closed systems because once it fills up with water, you don't need to replace it.
00:06:34.620 You just have the water cool down somewhere else and then get fed back in to cool the system.
00:06:38.780 There's no way for water, dirty water, to leave the system and go elsewhere.
00:06:44.700 It's just asinine.
00:06:46.200 But check out this video of their recent rally, or I guess their town hall on this issue.
00:06:52.780 Standing room only here at our Red Deer talking, listening, thinking, consultation.
00:06:59.820 Everything, I love everything about Nenshi's mannerisms.
00:07:04.240 I love doing impressions in the Heed Nenshi because everything is so awkward.
00:07:09.740 And he's just telling you, we're doing a town hall.
00:07:12.240 He could have just said, we're just doing a town hall and data centers.
00:07:14.200 And he's like, we're doing a talking, listening, thinking seminar.
00:07:18.960 And he like bobbles his head around and like points his fingers.
00:07:22.840 I need to, I need to nail this one.
00:07:25.780 Standing room only here at our Red Gear talking, listening, thinking consultation.
00:07:32.060 talking listening thinking consultation we're guys we're here standing room only at our
00:07:40.840 talking listening thinking conversation like you know consultation he always like pops his hands
00:07:47.760 like popping and locking his wrists as he's talking talk like we're at this talking listening
00:07:53.660 thinking consultation about ai data centers and we're telling the ucp government you can't force
00:08:01.200 this down our throats everything about him is just so inauthentic on ai data centers we heard
00:08:09.040 a variety of perspectives oh my goodness imagine having to have janice erwin hold up the microphone
00:08:14.020 for you if you end up on the same side of a debate as janice erwin rethink your life now again i'm
00:08:22.320 not saying if you have concerns about data centers like you're wrong there's concerns about them
00:08:26.260 obviously there can be, just as there's concerns about any major development. Some people are
00:08:31.960 being like, it has nothing to do with the internet and whatnot, and it's all about surveillance.
00:08:36.700 It's just data processing, basically. AI is only associated with data centers now because
00:08:42.240 AI has so much processing needs that that is why companies are paying through the nose to
00:08:47.300 build data centers so they can keep up with the processing demands of AI. Now, I think a lot of
00:08:53.620 ai stupid and oppose the data centers as long as they're providing their own power it's away from
00:08:58.180 residential areas you're not going to hear like the buzzing that tends to be around the centers
00:09:01.700 it's fine but this these people are just simply opposing for the sake of opposing something the
00:09:07.680 the ucp is in favor of variety of perspectives people who love ai and use it every day but are
00:09:13.460 nervous about data centers people who think we shouldn't have ai at all so it's people who
00:09:18.520 support ai but don't like the data centers and people who don't like the data centers at all
00:09:23.040 What a diverse crowd out there.
00:09:25.680 And that's exactly why we're here.
00:09:27.800 I have an opinion on it, but I came without an agenda.
00:09:30.740 The best thing about tonight is that we respectfully listen to one another as neighbors.
00:09:34.880 The government is doing these fake-o-shmako consultations.
00:09:38.340 Oh, is that a technical term?
00:09:40.120 Fake-o-shmako?
00:09:41.400 They know what they want.
00:09:42.380 They're just going to try to do a sell job on you.
00:09:44.460 That's not real consultation, and that's not what Albertans deserve.
00:09:47.780 As neighbors, we need to have hard conversations and develop policy together.
00:09:52.520 So I'm thrilled that we've been here. I'm thrilled at the turnout.
00:09:55.760 And I'm inviting everyone to join us at the online virtual consultation coming up soon, 100% human powered.
00:10:04.940 Okay, guys, we're not going to put up with this fako shmako type nonsense from the UCP.
00:10:13.080 we have our listening, talking, thinking consultation where we talk, listen, and think
00:10:20.180 along with people who already agree with us. You see what we're doing here? We're not dealing,
00:10:26.660 we're humans talking about things, unlike the UCP, which are robots talking about robotic things.
00:10:33.820 I don't even know what his point there about the human thing was. Was he implying that Daniel
00:10:38.160 Smith has done any like AI deep fake town halls or something like that I don't know what he's
00:10:43.240 talking about but they're trying it's honestly when they talk about like it's a packed room
00:10:48.980 now I don't know where they're at I helped Dallas Brody run 1BC the camera shots in this video
00:10:57.060 are oddly tight we have had bigger events I should bring this back up on screen I was I
00:11:03.760 thought it was on screen there for a second the shots here are oddly tight it doesn't look like
00:11:09.020 a full room i have worked i am part of a party i'm the communications director for a party with
00:11:14.100 one mla and we can pack in a room of 500 people if we want 350 people and sometimes small towns
00:11:20.800 this is like maybe 300 people i'm not sure where they are for a major party in alberta the second
00:11:28.660 biggest party in Alberta and they have like nobody there they can attract flies compared to what we
00:11:35.380 can do relative to us we're bringing out hundreds of people they bring out hundreds of people but
00:11:39.620 they have like how dozens of MLAs but whatever and remember a bunch of people in that room are
00:11:44.760 going to be other NDP MLAs as well as NDP staff but now I want to move on to another video from
00:11:51.980 the NDP all right is this one even worth it now actually I want to move on to just a post from
00:11:56.740 Nahid Nenshi. The man apparently used to be, I believe, an economics professor at Mount Royal
00:12:03.220 University. I don't know how. I don't know how he did that, managed it, because he posted this
00:12:09.940 yesterday. Inflation in Alberta is the highest of the large provinces, the highest in the West,
00:12:16.420 and well above the national average. Inflation has jumped since Daniel Smith called the
00:12:20.580 separatist referendum, and the cost of living for Alberta is out of control under Daniel Smith
00:12:24.780 in the UCB. Okay, one, how is he connecting the idea of inflation and the referendum?
00:12:33.860 Those two things are disconnected. Do you know why inflation is high in Canada and more than
00:12:42.260 the other big provinces in Alberta? It's because the main thing that had its prices go up is
00:12:47.600 gasoline. It's energy. And Alberta is the energy producing province. So many things related to
00:12:55.580 energy have increased in price. And that's obviously going to have a big impact in Alberta.
00:13:00.860 The difference is our economy is actually growing more than all the other provinces.
00:13:06.220 And so we are actually dealing with the cost of inflation better than everybody else. Your
00:13:10.960 inflation is relative to your productivity. If you had 4% economic, like inflation, but let's say
00:13:19.400 somehow your economy was growing like 6% a year, crazy growth numbers. And this is just a
00:13:26.180 hypothetical. You wouldn't really care as much about the inflation because everyone's making
00:13:31.060 more money. Well, pretty much everyone would be making more money and you're outpacing the
00:13:35.820 increase of costs. Alberta is kind of pretty much outpacing the increase of costs for the most part
00:13:42.580 compared to other provinces. If you only have, let's say, 2.5% inflation in the province of
00:13:48.660 Ontario, but your economic growth is like 1% or less than 1%, you're getting hit hard. But if in
00:13:54.800 Alberta, our inflation is 3% by our economy grew 2.5%, you're doing way, way better. But apparently,
00:14:00.820 somehow this also has to do with the separatist referendum that he's blaming Danielle Smith for.
00:14:07.380 She just lowered the thresholds to get to petition for a referendum question. It's a much fairer
00:14:13.040 number than the 600,000 signatures it required before, which was effectively impossible to
00:14:17.740 actually meet the threshold of. And two separate groups were able to meet the threshold, so we're
00:14:22.600 having a referendum on a non-binding question, which in fact does actually help the independence
00:14:27.360 movement get a higher percentage of the vote than they normally would have gotten but at the same
00:14:32.580 time isn't it usually left-wing it's been left-wing groups like core blunds anti-coal petition
00:14:39.100 and the rockies they're complaining that the threshold's too high that the the government
00:14:44.560 was unfair to them and should have just accepted their question even though when they counted up
00:14:49.140 all their signatures they were underwater and they were even late handing it in because a bunch of
00:14:54.140 their signatures got thrown out because it was probably from either permanent residents or
00:14:58.060 people who don't actually live here, or there's just something like missing information where
00:15:02.920 someone didn't actually write down their information correctly or didn't actually
00:15:06.660 write down their signature or whatever. They did not meet the threshold and they complained about
00:15:11.540 it. They are a left-wing ally. So is the threshold too low or is it too high? Eventually they're
00:15:17.780 going to have to pick a lane here. And by the way, inflation has nothing to do with the
00:15:21.840 independence referendum. Nothing, nothing. And by the way, if you think that the independence
00:15:26.720 movement in Alberta, I'm not supportive of it, but I think they have some legitimate points to make.
00:15:31.800 I'm never going to naysay them on that front. I will actually probably have Keith Wilson on the
00:15:35.500 show eventually. He can make, you know, his case to me. I will be throwing some more federalist
00:15:40.420 type questions at him that he can answer to whatever satisfaction the audience believes
00:15:45.200 it like from him. But like, if you actually think that this is hurting the economy because it's
00:15:51.060 creating uncertainty uncertainty wouldn't you want to vote to prove that it's not going to happen
00:15:56.180 that it's not nowhere close it's like 40 underwater with albertans no small business
00:16:02.040 is going to think like oh my goodness they have 30 support like no that's not going to freak anybody
00:16:07.660 out uh but he goes on here to say instead of following their own legislation the ucp kept
00:16:14.120 the provincial fuel tax instead of helping albertans they helped separatists and give
00:16:18.180 concierge services to Trump-aligned foreign billionaires. I don't even know what the foreign
00:16:24.240 billionaires thing is. I think that might be related to the data center thing. I have no clue.
00:16:29.280 They didn't cut the fuel tax. Okay, yeah, but what they did was that because fuel went past a certain
00:16:35.340 price, because the price of oil went past a certain price, instead of just suspending the
00:16:40.020 fuel tax, they've just found it to be easier and more streamlined to just crack off a $100 check
00:16:45.620 because that's how much it would have saved people
00:16:48.720 during the time they were supposed to suspend
00:16:50.840 or they could have suspended the fuel tax.
00:16:52.800 So they're just giving people $100
00:16:53.840 because that's effectively the same thing.
00:16:56.360 And apparently this is a problem with him.
00:16:58.160 I don't know why.
00:16:59.340 He's NDP.
00:17:00.320 Shouldn't he be in favor of sending people checks?
00:17:02.560 Now, the government had to send people checks
00:17:04.280 because it's a law that if oil goes above a certain price,
00:17:08.080 the extra cost on top of that,
00:17:10.220 the extra royalties have to go back to Albertans
00:17:12.620 in some form either
00:17:14.200 by just suspending the tax for a while or giving them money. He goes on here, finishing up, says
00:17:20.640 highest unemployment in the Prairie Provinces, highest inflation. Daniel Smith and the UCP do
00:17:26.320 not care about your priorities, but that's what we're focused on every day. Our Alberta affordability
00:17:31.100 agenda will bring down fuel prices and grocery prices. It will reduce utility bills and new
00:17:35.560 nuisance fees. It will put more money in your pocket, except it won't because part of their
00:17:41.980 agenda as well is just higher regulations when it comes to employment. It's more higher minimum
00:17:48.820 wages, which, hey, I want people paid more money. But if you raise the minimum wage, a lot of people
00:17:54.420 are going to lose jobs. The real minimum wage is zero dollars. No one gets paid the minimum wage
00:18:01.340 in the long run. Many people are offered higher, the minimum wage, like more, like a higher than
00:18:06.920 minimum wage at their starting position. What you're going to do is increase youth unemployment
00:18:12.040 because let's say you go from $15 an hour as your minimum wage up to $18. Well, do you really want
00:18:20.260 to hire the 16-year-old during the summer when they're not going to be working for you that long
00:18:24.860 so they're never going to become a super experienced employee and you're going to have
00:18:28.040 to pay them $18 when they may even not be that productive? You're just going to stop hiring
00:18:32.480 people. And all the other things they're going to do to save you money at the grocery store,
00:18:37.380 it's going to cause its own type of inflation. It's like with the Carney Liberals tax break,
00:18:43.780 the rebate for groceries. They're giving the bottom 33% of earners a rebate that's going to
00:18:50.120 give them a few hundred dollars every quarter or so. That's just going to increase prices on the
00:18:54.180 shelves. And those people will net benefit, but the net benefit will not be all that great,
00:18:59.060 considering the prices are going to go up to compensate, not because corporations are greedy,
00:19:04.060 but because you are simply pushing more money through the economy. It is a bigger lot. It is
00:19:09.700 just more taxes. It is more debt. It is a bigger deficit in order to run these programs. But
00:19:17.400 anyways, what do I know? What do I know? I want to move on to this other clip because it's not
00:19:23.060 from Nenshi or the NDP, but it's from somebody I would consider to be somewhat of an NDP
00:19:29.300 propagandist, despite pretending that he's not. Here is a clip from Ryan Jesperson's radio show
00:19:35.820 that he posted himself as a bumper to what was going on. He is talking about how the UCP is very
00:19:41.520 bad for trying to get involved in the Edmonton police's, trying to interfere with the Edmonton
00:19:47.180 police's report hate campaign. Apparently, Daniel Smith is off the reservation by doing this.
00:19:52.660 hate crimes are not hurt feelings and hurt feelings are not hate crimes and nobody said
00:19:57.840 they were it makes absolutely no sense no no no no that's that's bill c9 effectively endorses the
00:20:05.620 idea that hurt feelings are a hate crime absolutely that is what it does because they have lowered
00:20:12.020 the threshold for what hate means to just being detestation or vilification no additional crime
00:20:18.660 needed for something to be a hate crime, simply hating something or somebody could be considered
00:20:24.140 a hate crime. So he is already just lying. That is what the Edmonton police were doing, which is why
00:20:30.360 their advertisement highlighted comments like they should be deported or they should be removed from
00:20:35.700 the country, which depending on the context might even just be a good policy move. Criminals should
00:20:40.920 be removed from the country, welfare cheats, people overstaying visas, absolutely. And even if they
00:20:46.240 said it about somebody in an untoward way i just don't like them i think they should be deported
00:20:50.100 nasty potentially hateful shouldn't be a hate crime but like what are we talking about here
00:20:56.980 but he's just he's pretending that he can't follow basic parliamentary legislation in order to
00:21:03.520 pretend as if somehow the ucp is just being crazy by pretending anyone was trying to push hate crime
00:21:09.020 charges for the public safety minister to clap back at a law enforcement agency's anti-hate
00:21:15.560 campaign that makes no sense it makes what's the anti-hate campaign about because it's telling
00:21:21.440 people to report hate if there's no such thing as hate legislation that would back up those reports
00:21:27.860 with you know charges what's the point of the anti-hate campaign the reporting hate campaign
00:21:33.120 he's contradicting himself he's claiming nobody's saying that hurt feelings are a hate crime or that
00:21:39.740 there are just you know you can be charged for a hate crime for just saying something that isn't
00:21:43.380 like a direct threat or incitement of violence or something like that, then why does the campaign
00:21:48.280 exist? Why are we reporting for people for saying things like deport them? What are we talking about?
00:21:54.040 But again, he's just playing dumb. Zero sense for the premier to involve herself in this.
00:21:59.800 Daniel Smith has her own problems, right? There's a referendum coming on October 19th. It's a pretty
00:22:05.480 big deal. It's not. The support is not there. It's not going to pass. I like how the independence
00:22:12.860 referendum is the catch-all reason to not care about anything else oh you you can't you can't
00:22:19.000 step in and and go after a a like a justice departments or a justice uh what would he say
00:22:26.480 exactly he makes it sound like they're somehow like besmirching the idea of police at edmonton
00:22:32.020 by saying that they shouldn't do this no sense it makes zero sense for the premier to involve
00:22:37.500 herself in this danielle smith has her own problems right there's a ref i'd go back a
00:22:42.620 little bit further like safety minister to clap back at a law enforcement agency's anti-hate
00:22:47.840 campaign as if like somehow that something sacred has been violated by the public safety minister
00:22:54.200 and deputy premier mike ellis saying something he should say something because people actually do
00:22:59.240 actually care about their civil liberties in this province i i hopefully this isn't startling ryan
00:23:04.980 jesperson but people in fact don't want the police knocking at their door because of some colorful
00:23:10.080 comment that he left online that has no threat of violence attached to it that has no incitement
00:23:15.160 of violence attached to it or anything like that but like so it's how is it anti-hate this is the
00:23:22.120 thing that keeps confusing me he claims that there's no such thing as hate crimes there's
00:23:25.620 no such thing as enforcement for just saying things that hurt people's feelings then why are
00:23:29.680 people being told to report the thing and then he moves on to say well daniel smith shouldn't even
00:23:33.420 care about it because there's a independence referendum coming up in october that's not
00:23:38.060 going to pass okay that makes no sense it makes zero sense for the premier to involve herself in
00:23:44.120 this danielle smith has her own problems right there's a referendum coming on october 19th it's
00:23:49.900 a pretty big deal the impact that this referendum is having and in particular the questions on
00:23:54.700 immigration it's making a lot of people feel nervous and and even worse making them feel
00:23:58.780 unwelcome and even unsafe in their communities how i know maybe in the full show he like
00:24:07.540 puts all this stuff out but he chose to put up a 45 second clip of his show on x how are people
00:24:13.860 feeling unsafe by the province wanting to take more control over its immigration it basically
00:24:19.180 is a referendum of citizens saying should the alberta government have more say over how many
00:24:23.060 people are entering the province every year from outside of canada that's the question oh people
00:24:27.620 are feeling unsafe people are feeling unwelcome because of that screw their feelings like can i
00:24:33.180 can I say it any other way? I don't care about people's feelings when it's a serious public
00:24:38.040 policy issue. How many people are we having enter the country? How many people do we want
00:24:43.300 ending up in Alberta, depending on the condition of our healthcare system, our housing situation,
00:24:50.120 crime, jobs, all these things feel kind of relevant, that feels like that might be a good
00:24:56.060 reason to want to control immigration. If someone has their feelings hurt over that,
00:24:59.900 or feels unneeded or unwelcome in Alberta
00:25:03.200 because we want some say over immigration,
00:25:06.400 I can't help them.
00:25:07.900 They can just get over it
00:25:09.500 because it's a major public policy question,
00:25:12.140 but the left always does this.
00:25:13.620 You caring about this is making people feel stigmatized.
00:25:17.280 You guys wanting people to not use drugs
00:25:20.120 and pushing people into involuntary care
00:25:22.480 made them feel a little stigmatized.
00:25:25.900 Okay, they'll get over it.
00:25:27.940 And they don't even know they're being stigmatized. They're completely cracked out if they're on drugs. And I believe most immigrants who have been here for a while probably don't like that the stream of people coming in behind them is just endless and it's raising the prices all over the place for all sorts of services and it's increasing wait times.
00:25:44.100 I find the most anti-immigration people are immigrants themselves because many of them,
00:25:49.740 especially if they came here 15, 20, 25 years ago, they came in here because they had skills
00:25:55.140 to contribute. But the problem is, as time has gone on, we just had no standards for who was
00:25:59.940 coming here. We have people who have no skills, people who need a lot of social assistance to
00:26:04.360 be able to survive here, and it's just not a healthy situation. Well, I'll let Ryan Jesperson
00:26:10.180 clean this finish this last one up and then we'll probably be the end of this episode guys
00:26:15.020 because they're fanning the flames of these sorts of sentiments and so that's where the premier
00:26:20.320 what sentiments that immigration's too high so apparently people feel unwelcome because we
00:26:25.820 realize that we cannot just have endless amounts of people in this country even worse making them
00:26:30.520 feel unwelcome and even unsafe in their communities because they're fanning the flames of these sorts
00:26:36.400 of sentiments and so that's where the premier's focus needs to be on not clapping back on law
00:26:40.440 enforcement daniel smith's big on telling politicians and others to stay in their lane
00:26:44.860 and this is far out of her lane on this one i'm sorry it is far out of the lane of the police in
00:26:50.640 edmonton and by the way the average officer does not want to be doing any of this crap the average
00:26:55.860 officer doesn't care in fact in fact they were probably very embarrassed by what andrew knack
00:27:00.760 the mayor of Edmonton and the police chief ended up approving. It's a stupid campaign.
00:27:06.280 But of course, oh, Danielle Smith, stop telling the left to stop doing stupid crap. Stop telling
00:27:11.480 the Edmonton city government to stop doing stupid crap. Stay in your lane. You always tell people
00:27:15.980 to stay in your lane, and she's usually right. She actually does stick to her own lane, and it is,
00:27:20.880 in fact, her lane to tell other levels of government in Alberta to stay in their lanes,
00:27:24.900 or to tell the federal government to stay in their lane when they're leaving their lane.
00:27:28.620 But always and forever, whenever Daniel Smith is right about something and it has to do with another level of government or with another party, oh my goodness, but the independence referendum in October, Daniel, you're not allowed to judge Nahid Nenshi, you're not allowed to judge the Edmonton police, you're not allowed to say anything about this, that, the other thing, because referendum is in October.
00:27:51.380 Okay. Well, anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching. Just letting you know, because this was an Alberta-based video, I am running for the United Conservative Party nomination provincially in the riding of Calgary Curry. It's in southwest Calgary.
00:28:08.420 I've made sure to catch up on my phone calls to people who have signed up on the list and who are from the riding.
00:28:14.160 I always get really good insights from people who end up wanting to support me for the UCP nomination about, you know, certain aspects, unique characteristics of their part of the riding, how their neighbors vote, what their neighbors think about politics, what they think about the incumbent and DP MLA.
00:28:29.700 So if you want to support me for the UCP nomination in Calgary Curry, check out my website.
00:28:35.580 It's linked at the top of the comments, WyattClaypool.com.
00:28:38.840 Sign up there, get yourself an NDP, NDP, blah, UCP membership.
00:28:43.880 Don't get yourself an NDP membership unless you're like really masochistic and support me for that nomination.
00:28:49.800 I'll try and give you a call at some point.
00:28:51.940 Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching and I'll see you all later.
