00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to Shadow at Night for, what is it, Wednesday, January 31st, 2024.
00:01:07.060 On the show tonight, my guests are Ken Drysdale.
00:01:10.340 You guys know Ken.
00:01:11.660 Ken from the National Citizens Inquiry and, of course, Manitoba Stronger Together.
00:01:16.960 And, of course, the true facts, C19.com.
00:01:20.540 That's what launched Ken into the freedom world a couple of years ago.
00:01:25.560 And he's been absolutely amazing ever since we first heard his name.
00:01:30.000 Our other guest tonight is Ken Lee.
00:01:31.920 Ken is a chartered accountant.
00:01:34.080 He's been a successful business leader in Winnipeg for the past 40 years and also spent
00:01:38.600 time off and on, I would say, with the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.
00:01:44.040 Tonight, we're going to talk about definite election irregularities, possible election
00:01:50.300 corruption, and political shenanigans.
00:01:55.880 It's a night filled with intrigue.
00:01:58.240 And tonight, I want you guys to understand something.
00:02:02.700 And because we talk about politics all the time, all the time,
00:02:07.640 Poliev is this, Trudeau is that.
00:02:09.720 And yes, they are.
00:02:11.340 But what goes on behind the scenes?
00:02:15.200 What is it like when you actually have to spend time in the same room with these people?
00:02:20.460 And they are just people.
00:02:22.220 They're not anything better than you are.
00:02:24.720 They're not anything better than I am.
00:02:26.280 They are just people.
00:02:27.420 some of them like to think of themselves as a different breed as part of a different class
00:02:33.620 the political class the elite class but they're not so we're going to talk to the toucans in just
00:02:40.000 a second also the big petition the petition for a vote of non-confidence in the house of commons

00:06:34.820 first of all it's ken drysdale everybody knows ken matter of fact ken i think this is your fourth
00:06:42.020 appearance on my show if i'm not mistaken one more and you get a set of steak knives
00:06:46.400 congratulations you haven't learned your lesson yeah no no you keep coming back uh
00:06:55.220 ken is also the founder of manitoba stronger together and you guys know him from the national
00:07:01.020 citizens inquiry and of course the true facts c19 website which got the ball rolling uh for ken
00:07:08.020 that's what brought you to our attention and since then ken let me just say you've been doing
00:07:11.960 an absolutely fantastic job. And here is Ken Lee. Welcome to the show, Ken. You're a first-timer
00:07:17.860 tonight. Good to have you. Ken is a business leader in Winnipeg. He has been for 40 years
00:07:25.720 and also spent a significant amount of time as the CFO for the Progressive Conservative Party
00:07:31.080 here in Manitoba. And I guess, Ken, you're not so affiliated with the party as you once were
00:07:38.440 because of what's happened in the past three years.
00:07:41.360 So why don't we start there?
00:07:42.860 Why don't we start with you becoming estranged
00:07:47.840 and then coming back to the party
00:07:49.700 and then the situation we're in now
00:07:52.300 where you don't really know what the heck is going on?
00:07:55.620 Yeah, well, I spent 12 years as the CFO of the party
00:08:01.100 right after we lost in 99.
00:08:03.520 and Stu Murray became the new leader I think in 2001 or 2002 and they searched high and low and
00:08:12.380 they couldn't find anybody to take the job as CFO. The party was in very poor financial shape.
00:08:20.280 The Royal Bank was looking at calling our loans. It was pretty dire and of course when you lose
00:08:27.240 an election and then they changed the election laws immediately after 99 where no more corporate
00:08:32.700 donations were allowed and the pc party relied on all the corporations to fund their campaign so
00:08:41.000 basically you know royal bank uh bank of montreal all great west life all these big companies
00:08:47.560 uh were the ones that were funding and there was no limits they could pay 30 40 000 dollars so
00:08:54.320 uh when they headed into the 2003 election um it got pretty bad because they had they didn't
00:09:01.280 They weren't prepared to get individuals to donate, but so I was the CFO throughout that period, which was a very tough time to be the CFO and went through, I think, three or four elections.
00:09:15.120 And then McFadden lost in 2011.
00:09:22.260 11 and then Brian talking about Hugh McFadden and we should probably because can we have people
00:09:27.100 watching from all across the country uh they don't really know who you're referring to there
00:09:31.560 so that's Hugh McFadden who was the former leader of the PCs in Manitoba didn't really have much of
00:09:37.560 an impact back in those days yes so when when when uh Brian Palser became the leader I was
00:09:45.360 he appointed me cfo and i think i lasted about three weeks and i resigned i uh what happened
00:09:53.280 was he just too much of a he was too much of a task master he was like a you know i just i just
00:09:59.220 felt like i couldn't work with him like he he was he's just yeah i can't even describe what the
00:10:06.480 the problem was but i was a pretty dedicated conservative for a long time through the toughest
00:10:11.040 years and when when i knew we're on the verge of a win but i really couldn't i couldn't stick around
00:10:18.920 i i resigned and maybe before he would have fired me i'm not sure why i resigned as quickly as i did
00:10:25.300 so i was really estranged from the party starting then and uh i came back in and i guess when they
00:10:33.040 had the leadership no i didn't actually i i started to be a campaign manager and a financial
00:10:39.660 agent in Seine River for Janice Morley-Lacombe. And we won two back-to-back elections. So I was
00:10:47.340 involved at that level. They didn't try to do anything to stop me from doing that role.
00:10:55.000 When they first got elected, I think within the first week, I got a call from the party to come
00:11:00.860 back and help them with the changes to the Election Finances Act. And I came back and I did that.
00:11:06.880 and then after that time I pretty much didn't do anything with the party central party until I ran
00:11:13.920 for leadership and I had 11 day political career and okay look I'm sorry to laugh but I saw you
00:11:24.040 laughing I think it's funny I had 11 day career but it was really odd because in my the total 11
00:11:31.440 days that I was there I really only had three people or maybe four people helping me we didn't
00:11:38.580 make one phone call we didn't send one email we didn't have any lists of any any party members
00:11:45.060 we had nothing we had no information we put five issues on Facebook and the membership sales were
00:11:56.700 going through the roof it was just it was ridiculous I couldn't we couldn't even believe
00:12:00.280 what was happening we didn't spend a penny i think heather ended up spending north of 600 000 i think
00:12:05.780 shelly spent 300 000 we spent i the only money we spent on my campaign is i well i had 30 i got
00:12:13.080 30 000 35 000 so i could put my 30 down or 25 down but they refunded that to me i put in 3 000
00:12:22.240 and we spent 2900 so the only money we actually spent in my campaign was my 2900 i gave all all
00:12:29.180 the rest of the money back to all my supporters so um it was amazing it was just amazing how many
00:12:36.180 uh memberships that we sold with really virtually we i think we had three meetings or rallies you
00:12:44.620 could call them and i never did a speech i just answered questions like it was really a bizarre
00:12:50.440 campaign really when you think about it did you find yourself being vilified by the left-wing
00:12:55.880 corporate media as an extremist candidate yes yeah they said i share i didn't they used the
00:13:03.160 line that trudeau used on all the truckers actually that i didn't share a proper views
00:13:08.540 with the average manitoban or something like that like some leading citizens leading community
00:13:14.600 members were the ones that were quoted in the free press and and on cbc that i held whatever
00:13:20.940 what's so terminology they use but i held views that were not green views yeah you were extreme
00:13:26.780 right-wing views you were part of a minority with unacceptable value broadbeck went after me and
00:13:33.520 said i was a trump fan and i was i've been to the dark side and yeah i got yeah it was pretty bad
00:13:39.700 actually some of those because some of these people were my friends like broadbeck was my
00:13:43.660 friend for years years and years this is a columnist by the way in the winnipeg sun is or
00:13:48.640 sorry winnipeg free press now he's he used to be in the winnipeg sun uh guys so this is one of the
00:13:54.300 guys that's all right this is an example of a media member who used to used to re uh sorry lean
00:14:02.300 to the right when he was working for post media the winnipeg sun and then he got a job i guess
00:14:09.080 higher paying over at the free press which is a lefty rag and now he extols the virtues of
00:14:14.560 socialism quite frequently it's amazing to me how somebody's values can change over a few bucks 0.99
00:14:20.820 yeah but i guess he was he was giving you a hard time too probably all those asshats on cjob because 0.97
00:14:28.720 we know what the media is all about so 11 days you were running for the leadership of the party 0.97
00:14:35.980 was there ever any poll taken to see how you were doing no uh there was never a poll not that i'm
00:14:41.860 I don't think there was a poll. I'm not sure. I knew there was somebody from within the inner group that kept on sending messages. And he sent over the time I was in, over the 11 days and even after, he sent these messages. And everyone became true. Like he knew what was going to happen.
00:15:03.900 like I received a message indirectly it didn't come to me I went to one of the guys on my
00:15:09.100 committee and he forwarded to me and the first message was something like I would not be allowed
00:15:15.660 to run because of something in my application so this is before I even put my application in so
00:15:23.960 nobody even knew what my application was going to be and when I did put my application in I didn't
00:15:28.600 show it to anybody i did it myself it's got criminal checks in there and child registry and
00:15:33.940 adult registry all that stuff and some you know your background and i never show it to anybody
00:15:41.340 so this was out about three days or four before my meeting i already knew like i knew probably
00:15:49.420 did you say you didn't know who told you this like we have a deep throat operative somewhere
00:15:56.500 deep inside the party it's somebody who uses uh another name like it's not i don't think i don't
00:16:03.300 know the guy i don't know who it is but this guy had information it was really quite interesting
00:16:08.380 because he picked everything well the very first thing he said he said that was the second one was
00:16:14.320 i would be kicked out the first one was that the party wanted to have a coronation and they were
00:16:21.680 trying to do everything they could not to have any any competition for heather and so he sent
00:16:27.700 that out and then what transpired after i heard that was that there were different people within
00:16:33.140 the party that were going to run and he they never ran they just kind of uh they just they
00:16:39.880 and then they dropped out so that so it was and then of course they couldn't stop shelly and they
00:16:47.220 couldn't stop me right so this is now we're talking about two technically not caucus members
00:16:53.520 but not party outsiders either i mean shelly glover was an mp a conservative mp yes for a
00:16:59.380 couple of terms under stephen harper and uh you have been associated and worked with the pcs of
00:17:06.700 manitoba for years and years so it's not like they didn't know who you guys were but you were standing
00:17:11.520 in heather stefanson's way so i pretty much knew every member of the party throughout those years
00:17:17.960 i got to meet almost everybody over 13 years uh so i wasn't a stranger to them at all so 11 days
00:17:24.860 you're running for the and then what happened then okay so um the one odd thing that was
00:17:32.580 happening the whole time which which really uh was strange was that they have a i know what
00:17:39.400 computer systems they use and at all the memberships i sold were sold online people just
00:17:45.220 wrote in directly online and they said this membership's for kennedy because i every member
00:17:50.880 every candidate had to sell a thousand memberships to get into the race that was one of the five
00:17:56.380 grand too right you had to raise 25 grand and have a thousand memberships sold so after that so i it
00:18:04.220 was a saturday night i had the meeting with the guys that wanted me to do it and then on sunday
00:18:10.240 they they posted these five you know it was all the unvaccinated situation at the time so that was
00:18:16.600 the main theme of it and freedom and those kind of things so that was saturday of the long weekend
00:18:22.140 in september and then monday was a long weekend and i called the party tuesday morning and i still
00:18:27.640 was kind of they were still my friends at that point in time so i asked them i said do you tell
00:18:32.060 me how many memberships i've sold and he says hey let me check and so he goes like here's some
00:18:36.440 click clacking going on on the computer and he comes oh you've got uh 600 or something i go 600
00:18:43.100 on sunday the long weekend and monday is the long weekend and i got that many he goes yeah
00:18:49.380 i go wow they not one point after that time did they ever tell me how many i sold
00:18:54.700 every time i called they would say well you know we're behind on entering this and that
00:19:00.440 And the very last, when I went for my intern, no, when I dropped off my check, the $25,000 check, I took somebody with me so they could witness because I knew what was going to happen.
00:19:11.520 And I said, can you tell me if I sold 1,000 memberships?
00:19:16.320 Because I think I sold, I don't know what, north of 4,000.
00:19:18.380 I don't know what I sold.
00:19:19.260 The media says 4,000.
00:19:20.860 Nobody ever told me how many I sold.
00:19:23.140 And he says, well, you know, maybe you're, I said, am I close to 1,000?
00:19:29.060 yeah i said keith am i over a thousand he goes yeah you are i said okay and i handed my check
00:19:38.080 it was just a bizarre and i'm sitting there going keith i've known you for like i don't know 20
00:19:43.280 years and you're what you're pretending you like you don't know how many memberships you got that
00:19:48.540 computer system that was in place forever i know how it works and did he seem nervous at all like
00:19:54.140 Yeah, no, Keith is a great guy.
00:19:57.020 I like Keith, whatever.
00:19:58.320 He had orders, I'm guessing.
00:20:02.300 He can't look me in the eye now when I see him.
00:20:04.420 He kind of runs away, but I have no heart.
00:20:06.840 Let me ask you this.
00:20:09.320 In our conversation, Ken and I spoke on the phone this afternoon,
00:20:12.100 not Ken Drysdale, Ken Lee.
00:20:14.480 Well, Ken Drysdale and I spoke as well.
00:20:17.300 It's going to be tough with the Kens tonight.
00:20:19.520 Anyway, you and I spoke, Ken,
00:20:22.420 and part of the conversation was something interesting you said when i asked you well
00:20:28.660 who do you think is responsible for this you said i don't know the guy in the dark room somewhere
00:20:32.400 or the guys in the dark suits yeah and that's not the first time i've heard that expression before
00:20:39.460 so we're talking about a group of people who behind the scenes control a political party and
00:20:47.320 nobody knows who they are yeah it's the craziest thing and i i think i told ken drysdale this story
00:20:53.380 that right after i was kicked out of the leadership race i think cbc asked me a question if i was
00:21:01.180 going to be you know leave the party and you know whatever and i said no i'm not i'm a conservative
00:21:07.160 i'll always be a conservative i said what happened happened uh i don't really know why and i told him
00:21:13.460 story I said you know when I was a CFO and I remember being in Hugh McFadden's office at the
00:21:18.980 ledge and I was with the the president of the party and the fundraising guys and some other
00:21:26.920 guys that are that were on this this executive group I'm sitting in McFadden's office I said
00:21:32.660 you know what I said to myself I finally made it to the back room and then after this then after 0.81
00:21:39.060 this thing that happened uh to me i said you know i never was in the back room i was stupid i couldn't
00:21:45.660 believe i mean i never got into the back room i just thought it was in the back room because
00:21:49.320 there's somebody else in the back room because they're the guys that are running this thing
00:21:52.460 maybe you were in the back room but but not the back back room i was in something else i was in
00:22:00.980 a fantasy world there but the other thing somebody told me one time i think was during one of the
00:22:05.980 election of the leadership contests and somebody said you know there are certain people that are
00:22:11.940 going to decide who's going to be the leader and I said who so well you know the guys some guys
00:22:19.760 and I said well what guys like I don't see any guys that are have any influence around that I
00:22:24.240 you know I know everybody in the party I don't know who's got influence or doesn't I mean
00:22:28.240 for the people I see I don't think anybody has enough influence to decide who's going to be the
00:22:33.140 leader but i guess there is somebody that does decides that somewhere i don't know i mean i could
00:22:38.880 guess and i don't want to guess on the air here but i could guess who it is but i don't i don't
00:22:43.220 really know well we have to get you a security team if you started speculating on the show here
00:22:49.420 yeah i'm not going to immediately i don't know what happened for those of you that don't know
00:22:53.980 after ken was surreptitiously kicked out of the race for leader of the pc party of manitoba was
00:23:00.280 it was a two-horse race between Heather Stephenson and Shelley Glover.
00:23:05.420 And it came to – Ken, were you involved at all in that vote?
00:23:10.280 Were you there?
00:23:11.060 Did you see all of this go down?
00:23:12.740 There was apparently a box of ballots that mysteriously appeared
00:23:15.800 at the last second.
00:23:18.100 That's going to be – yeah.
00:23:19.940 No, I was not involved with anything.
00:23:24.900 I mean, the whole thing, all of the stories I heard,
00:23:27.740 i mean they went to court and i i think shelley's still mad at me for saying this but they went to
00:23:35.640 court and it there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the results or enough evidence to call
00:23:42.580 for another leadership vote i guess so i i'm not sure it's a he said they said you said
00:23:48.880 and there was a missing box and there's you know i don't know for sure i don't know and i
00:23:53.700 What happened was, for those that don't know, it was hilarious.
00:23:57.820 Brian Pallister, first of all, just decides, that's it for me.
00:24:01.680 And he just screws off, right?
00:24:03.680 Usually when a premier or a prime minister decides that they've had enough, that they give you a little bit of rope.
00:24:10.960 So you've got time to decide on a new leader.
00:24:13.680 But this guy decided instead that he was going to go after, what was it, a month or two months or something?
00:24:18.780 down to his retreat in costa rica leaving the party essentially rudderless in that time and
00:24:25.920 they had to really really hurry to get this this leadership convention slash vote together
00:24:30.840 there was the three of you you got kicked out for whatever reason we still don't know
00:24:35.440 we leave it to uh heather stefanson and shelly glover and apparently shelly and some people
00:24:43.060 didn't get mailed their ballots on time and and there was all kinds of complaints about that so
00:24:47.900 they couldn't send their ballots in even though they paid for their memberships and then at the
00:24:51.420 very end of the night of the election night because we're not just electing the leader of
00:24:57.000 a political party here we're electing the premier of a province because that party was you know in
00:25:03.480 the majority seat so what happened was shelly glover apparently had enough votes to win i spoke
00:25:10.880 to her about this and she said we had the votes we had the count and then mysteriously at the last
00:25:16.240 Second, this box full of ballots for Heather Stephenson shows up and boom, all of a sudden, Heather Stephenson is the winner.
00:25:24.500 Like maybe this box was sitting there the whole time just in case they needed it.
00:25:29.340 Or maybe it was under the table or something.
00:25:32.160 Oh, look, look what we found under the table.
00:25:34.900 It's a box full of ballots for Heather.
00:25:37.080 Oh, that's amazing.
00:25:39.120 Right.
00:25:40.220 And so that's why they went to court.
00:25:42.760 And that's how Heather Stephenson became the premier for 18 months until she lost the election last fall.
00:25:48.700 So you guys have been doing some investigating in regards to the election results that happened last fall.
00:25:57.320 What did you find exactly?
00:25:59.420 Who wants to go first, Ken or Ken?
00:26:01.840 Ken drives the goal.
00:26:03.340 Well, it was an unusual election.
00:26:06.180 And it probably won't be surprising to any of your listeners that what the media told you happened on election night wasn't what happened.
00:26:15.040 And interesting thing that just developed here 10 minutes before we went on the air.
00:26:20.780 When I did my original analysis of what had happened, I downloaded this was on election night or a day or two after the election.
00:26:28.820 I downloaded all the statistics and Excel spreadsheets from Elections Manitoba site to analyze the election numbers.
00:26:35.120 And I compared the election numbers from 2023 to 2019.
00:26:40.400 Now, just before we went on air, Shadow, I decided, you know, I better update my spreadsheet because, you know, that wasn't official results at the time.
00:26:49.200 So I went and downloaded again the 2019 general election results and the 2023 election results.
00:26:56.220 And guess what?
00:26:57.660 There is no 2023 election results on Manitoba Elections website right now.
00:27:02.880 When you download the 2023 election results, you get 2019 election results.
00:27:07.920 And that's not all.
00:27:09.400 If you look at the 2019 election results that's on Elections Canada and Manitoba's website right now,
00:27:15.900 and you compare it to the ones I downloaded two months ago, the numbers are different from 2019 than they are today.
00:27:22.840 So when is it that Elections Manitoba stops touching the numbers?
00:27:26.520 That was a 2019 election.
00:27:28.060 And I'll give you an example.
00:27:28.980 When I downloaded these spreadsheets just after the election, and I was looking at, let's say, the Green Party, in 2019, the Green Party received 30,243 votes.
00:27:43.080 That's in 2019.
00:27:44.600 The spreadsheet that I downloaded for 2019 just now, 10 minutes ago, said that the Green Party in 2019 only got 29,489 votes.
00:27:55.040 So they changed the numbers on 2019 since the election.
00:27:58.980 Now, the 2023 numbers, I can't tell you if they changed them from a day or two after the election night because I can't download them because the only ones available are 2019.
00:28:10.420 So I'm not sure if it's usual four years after the fact that they're monkeying with the numbers still, but they're monkeying with the numbers right now.
00:28:18.620 And the numbers from the most recent election aren't even available.
00:28:23.380 They're not there.
00:28:24.360 If you go to download on Elections Canada, our Manitoba website,
00:28:28.380 you page down a little bit and it says official results for Manitoba.
00:28:31.620 And you click on that and it says 2023 election results.
00:28:35.080 You download, it's actually 2019 election results.
00:28:38.480 And I actually, I don't think I can share a screen,
00:28:40.820 but if I could share a screen,
00:28:42.080 I can show you the two spreadsheets side by side that I just downloaded from there.
00:28:47.740 They have the right title on them, but it's the wrong data.
00:28:53.380 Let's talk about the irregularities. There was something to do with the Keystone Party
00:28:57.780 that you fellows were telling me about a couple of weeks ago. I went, okay, so guys, for those
00:29:03.180 of you who don't know, the Keystone Party in Manitoba is a right-leaning party. It's not well
00:29:09.880 known, even in the province. It mostly comes from rural people. They did get some support in rural
00:29:16.760 ridings, but not nearly enough to gain any seats whatsoever. Nonetheless, there were some number
00:29:21.400 discrepancy yeah the leader of the the leader of the party's riding is turtle mountain and uh you
00:29:28.320 know uh most a lot of the polling stations are very small a lot of them are tiny little communities
00:29:34.100 where you know everybody in the community so when the election results came back there were certain
00:29:39.260 when he checked the polls there were polls that he knew he got votes on where the elections
00:29:43.300 manitoba said he got zero votes now this is kevin friesen the leader of the party correct
00:29:47.880 Exactly. Yeah. So he went around to a couple of polls and he found that happening in a number of places. So he went to Elections Manitoba and said he wanted a hand count. They initially refused. Then they told him, well, we can do it, but it's going to take several days. So they showed up on the allotted day to do the count. And within two hours, two and a half hours, they had it done.
00:30:11.800 and he gained 11 11 percent more votes than he had with their systems now if you if you project
00:30:20.220 that the pcs lost about eight and a half percent of their votes that they had in 2019
00:30:25.780 so if they if they're finding 11 percent votes in um in turtle mountain what could we be finding
00:30:33.280 elsewhere that that that's unprecedented that they would they would find any zero votes i mean
00:30:41.260 they have judicial recounts and they might move one or two votes i've been to some that there's
00:30:45.940 very few circumstances where you would have like over 150 votes and the other question i have on
00:30:53.420 that one can is this one were those 150 taken from another candidate or were they extra ballots
00:30:59.760 that they didn't count the first time like i don't i'm not sure what the answer to that is
00:31:03.000 and that's an interesting problem because i if we get to some discussions on sane river i can show
00:31:08.220 you some funny things with the number of ballots issued and the number of votes counted well why
00:31:15.280 don't we talk about that go ahead i mean okay okay so uh there was they had a brand new system
00:31:22.460 and they had to change the election finances act in order to um accommodate vote counting machines
00:31:29.600 so when they did that they they created a parallel set of rules that would match uh hand counts so
00:31:37.960 that they would have the same controls in place identical controls except the results would come
00:31:42.720 through a machine now let me let me ask you this because in federal elections we don't use voting
00:31:49.200 machines in canada but we do in provincial and municipal elections right yes yeah that was just
00:31:55.760 changed that was just changed 2022 by the pcs okay so that was just changed we do use the voting
00:32:03.780 machines. So it could be that the voting machines are off or is somebody maybe programming them a
00:32:10.940 little bit wonky? Well, I can get to that. But just getting back to this situation with the
00:32:16.420 ballots. So the new system had basically three different computers in it. The first computer
00:32:22.900 was when you walked in to get a ballot, you had to show ID, which we brought in in 2016 after
00:32:29.980 the NDP ignored that for 17 years in power they did not want ID because they could they were
00:32:35.220 cheating like crazy without ID what they were doing it was just a joke it was unbelievable
00:32:39.820 but anyhow so you come in with an ID and you uh don't be laughing shadow it's all true but I can
00:32:47.200 prove it all I'm sorry man it's just that when we say cheating it's like it just makes me feel like
00:32:51.140 a fool like we've been sitting here because we've been hearing about this election fraud in the
00:32:55.120 united states right and then people go how could how dare you accuse anybody of cheating we've got 0.99
00:33:00.640 integrity and and we never ever talk about it here in canada like ever even though elections canada
00:33:06.940 admitted a couple of uh what was it last year they said well we we lost 200 000 ballots in the last
00:33:13.680 federal election no big deal because it wouldn't have affected the results are you kidding me
00:33:18.080 200 000 that's a very large percentage of the voters in this country anyway i'm sorry i'm so
00:33:24.360 that's okay it's okay so any of this new system you you when you got your ballot you had to show
00:33:30.220 two pieces or an id a photo id or two pieces of id and then they handed you a ballot and they they
00:33:35.760 marked you as voting you know you have now you've got a ballot so you're now off the list you can't
00:33:40.540 come back and vote again in the old days they would just take a ruler and a pencil and draw
00:33:44.840 your name off the list so by doing that i mean you could have if it was during an advanced poll you
00:33:50.180 could vote at one advanced poll and go to another and get a ballot and vote there again. There was
00:33:54.300 no online system to stop that. So finally, they put in a computer system that could hopefully
00:34:00.380 prevent that. So then you went and you stuck your ballot into a machine. And then it tabulated the
00:34:07.900 result. And then on election day, for the advanced poll on election day, they would print out those
00:34:13.240 results. So during the advanced poll, it was seven days long. Every day was supposed to be every day,
00:34:20.780 but it wasn't because I think they had trouble with their computer system during the advanced
00:34:24.360 poll as well. They would give you a list and tell you how many people voted in your constituency
00:34:31.380 on that day. So we would take that list and we would compare it to our own internal numbers and
00:34:38.520 see how many of our identified supporters had voted so we could keep track and we would know
00:34:44.360 on the first day to advance poll uh 180 of our known supporters voted for us and we'd know
00:34:51.760 all the other parties or if we didn't know who they were or if they definitely told us you know
00:34:58.180 to to get off their doorstep we knew they weren't a supporter but we had all these numbers throughout
00:35:03.540 the whole time so when it was all and on election night election day they would send us updates
00:35:10.420 every hour on the hour so at the end at 8 45 so the polls have been closed for 45 minutes i looked
00:35:18.180 at the number of ballots that they're handed out because that was a separate system and the number
00:35:24.340 was 10 184 ballots issued when the results came out and posted several days later there's actually
00:35:33.220 10,369 people who actually voted, ballots that were counted.
00:35:38.940 There was 185 more ballots counted than ballots issued.
00:35:43.860 So I presented that.
00:35:45.500 I wrote a series of letters to Elections Manitoba.
00:35:48.360 I asked them.
00:35:49.580 I said, and I didn't tell them my numbers.
00:35:51.920 I just asked a question, but I told them I was talking about Sane River.
00:35:55.980 And the question I asked was, is it possible to have more votes counted
00:36:00.880 than votes issued, ballots issued?
00:36:03.220 and they said we haven't they said we're not aware of that happening so they didn't go check it if
00:36:08.620 they went and checked their own number i got these numbers from them they would have realized that
00:36:13.420 yeah there's actually more ballots counted than issue so that's that story that's an interesting
00:36:20.000 so so you you're talking to these guys at elections manitoba and and they're talking in circles giving
00:36:26.280 you the politician speak kind of run around right and and then you finally did you finally get the
00:36:31.820 information from them that you needed or no they just they just played this game um with these
00:36:38.880 half answers the answer something else you know that asked a question to give me an answer to
00:36:43.740 something else um they were just being cute with words and you know it was just it was really quite
00:36:50.020 disheartening that they weren't transparent enough just to answer my questions like if i'm them and
00:36:55.880 somebody's asking me questions i want to answer them accurately i don't want them to be thinking
00:37:00.260 that you're hiding some if i was hiding something like the answers they gave me maybe concluded
00:37:06.100 because i knew most of the questions i asked i already knew the answers to because i had
00:37:10.220 documentation to support it all so i'd ask them a question expecting a certain answer they come
00:37:14.740 back with a lie or something that wasn't even close to the right answer and i said okay well
00:37:19.340 you're you're hiding information what else are you hiding you know so so what about the situation
00:37:26.080 with a lack of scrutineers i think ken drysdale you and i were talking about that a while back
00:37:31.720 at some polls and scrutineers are absolutely necessary just to make sure that the integrity
00:37:38.600 of the election on site is being held up and the ballots are being uh you know put into the
00:37:44.760 machines correctly i suppose but did we not have scrutineers working that night well uh we okay
00:37:52.920 insane river i had scrutineers at two scrutineers at every polling location i'm not sure if the ndp
00:37:59.640 sent scrutineers to all of them and then i personally attended at the returning office
00:38:05.000 because that's where they were counting the advance poll so we we covered so we were there
00:38:10.520 when they pressed the button to print out the tape coming out of the uh the vote tabulation machine
00:38:15.880 and there was a major i'll get to the major problem later but there was a major problem
00:38:23.220 with that whole process okay well let's talk about the major problem now never mind teasing us tell
00:38:28.220 us okay well i thought we wanted to talk about this but uh again there's one a dry zone there's
00:38:35.780 one other thing that happened i just found this out about two days ago is that the returning
00:38:40.660 officer for tuxedo resigned four days before the election day yeah that's bizarre like that that
00:38:49.400 i've never heard of i got who knows why she would have but that's four days something must have i
00:38:56.080 don't know if she got very very ill i don't i talked to a person that was working on that
00:39:01.040 campaign they said they didn't think so and she was really nice to everybody and all of a sudden
00:39:05.080 she just resigned but that's a that's again another question that needs to be answered we
00:39:09.360 got to figure that one out but what happened on election night is so they had two advanced polls
00:39:15.300 and so you could vote for any candidate anywhere in the city and they would tabulate it and then
00:39:24.040 on election night they would print all the results and then they would accumulate them
00:39:29.360 to decide how many were in St. River how many were in Swan River etc so they had two SD cards
00:39:38.400 they call them like a little sim card or a flash drive and they took that from the vote counting
00:39:44.860 machine which was not tied to the internet which they must have told me 25 times over I knew they
00:39:49.720 weren't tied to the internet and they took them to a tabulator and they stuck these little sim
00:39:54.860 cards into the tabulator at about 8 15 on election night and then we stood around and uh are you done
00:40:05.880 Yeah.
00:40:07.040 She never printed out a tabulation of the votes.
00:40:14.620 So then she put the other SIM card in and we're done.
00:40:21.500 We're done by 8.30, probably 8.25 we were done.
00:40:24.600 And we never saw those results either.
00:40:27.220 At all other polling stations, when they counted the ballots,
00:40:30.880 they printed a ticket for us.
00:40:33.360 we took a picture of that ticket and then when the final results came out we're able to
00:40:38.340 to agree that ticket to the final results everyone was exactly right but they never printed one out
00:40:44.720 at the advanced poll on the last correspondence i had elections manitoba they told me that they
00:40:51.980 printed it out 10 minutes later well i was there till nine o'clock it was finished counting by 820
00:40:58.540 or 825 i was there for 35 minutes you could have called me back in and say oh here's the tape for
00:41:02.500 you they never did there were 4 900 ballots on the advanced poll and 5 300 on election day so over
00:41:13.040 almost half the ballots 47 of the ballots were counted an advanced poll scrutineers were present
00:41:20.400 and they did not show us the results so i mean that when i pointed that out to elections manitoba
00:41:28.640 i said never mind a hand count you should throw out the entire election and redo it
00:41:33.280 like we have no idea what ended up and then it took a how many two and a half hours to get the
00:41:39.520 results to the public this is if this happened in just one writing you're describing just one
00:41:47.340 writing here then same river yeah it would probably if you know like ken drysdale said
00:41:54.780 probably you have to think that this was going on and we don't know to what extent in every single
00:42:00.960 writing getting back can lead to what you were talking about when you were speaking with
00:42:05.160 elections canada paul says do they give lousy answers to hide the truth or to protect their
00:42:11.680 own ineptitude well i i think there are several problems with elections manitoba uh well the
00:42:20.860 excuse okay so dan lett wrote an article the day after the election because the all the media the
00:42:27.100 cbc global uh the free press the winnipeg sun they were all very upset because the results
00:42:33.080 weren't coming out in a timely fashion like this system was supposed to be online
00:42:40.700 results every minute like they're supposed to be updating and there was a there was a just a
00:42:46.680 a pause for like two hours or nothing was posted so i know that insane river everything was counted
00:42:53.320 like i got all the tapes 8 15 8 17 8 20 8 25 8 30 and then the the advanced poll they're all done
00:43:01.880 by 8 30 8 35 and it didn't get posted till 10 30. so they explained to dan let so dan let's ask him
00:43:09.160 the question i guess and in dan's article we're not on a first name basis by the way but mr let's
00:43:15.320 article he uh he says well there he was told it was a secure there was a firewall breach
00:43:21.500 well a firewall breach so you know what a firewall breach means means somebody
00:43:27.600 hacked the system how can you hack the system if it's not hooked up to the internet
00:43:33.740 it is well you see this is the vote county machines are not but how do they get they have
00:43:39.820 like six or seven hundred voting machines in the province well how are they going to get that to
00:43:44.100 elections manitoba unless they go over the internet they're not going to phone them on a 0.99
00:43:46.940 cell phone they have this fancy system so it was just a red herring it's like a stupid thing to say 0.83
00:43:53.680 like i know the voting machines aren't but they take the sim card out of the voting machine they
00:43:58.020 put in a tabulating machine which is attached to the internet which gets sent to the to the
00:44:03.260 elections manitoba and then they said that the only thing that the firewall reached it
00:44:08.780 didn't allow them to upload the information from their computer onto their onto their website so
00:44:14.820 people can see them but that doesn't make any sense no see if somebody hacked the system
00:44:21.680 and i talked to some computer experts on this and they said if your firewall is breached i mean
00:44:30.220 that's extremely serious i mean that's where i'll hear all the hacking and people taking
00:44:33.920 personal information on this is what happened this is what happened when you go through somebody's
00:44:39.560 firewall and how and depending on the sophistication of that person who hacked it
00:44:46.760 they could manipulate all the numbers any way they want and i'll say one final thing on this
00:44:51.220 in the state of georgia jury right after the our election here they went a case went to the supreme
00:44:58.420 court and they got to the supreme court because uh the court agreed that if the firewall there
00:45:08.720 was a firewall breach there if the firewall was breached then everybody who voted would could
00:45:13.860 never be certain that their constitutional right to vote was properly accounted for so they went
00:45:19.300 and then they had the trial so that i mean we had more votes here than ballots issued
00:45:28.040 it sounds like at least in one riding we had scrutineers who didn't see the final results
00:45:35.280 because they just what neglected oh god you know i know you've been waiting here for the last half
00:45:41.460 hour to see the results and i i got them and i sent them off i'm sorry i didn't tell you what
00:45:46.460 yeah exactly that's what they said okay so let me ask you guys this again you've seen ken drysdale
00:45:54.760 you've seen the numbers change uh 10 minutes before we went on tonight you said the 2019
00:45:59.780 numbers completely changed from what they were four years ago and you can't access the 2023
00:46:04.800 election numbers ken lee you have talked about um i don't want to let's just call it election
00:46:13.300 irregularities from now yeah i agree do you guys believe that this has been done on purpose to
00:46:19.620 rig an election or is this just a bunch of serious incompetence let's start with ken drysdale
00:46:24.760 I don't know. But I do have a curiosity here. I don't care what anybody thinks of the Green Party. But the Green Party in 2019 got 30,000 votes. In 2023, they got 3,000 votes. So I approached them. I sent emails. I phoned them. I phoned their leader. And I said, listen, you want to talk about this? What the heck happened?
00:46:51.960 like did was you know aren't you curious as to how you went from 30 000 votes to 3 000 votes
00:46:57.640 and i checked back for seven elections and every election they got more and more votes you know
00:47:02.500 i have i have a piece of paper here on my desk somewhere i can't find but going back seven years
00:47:07.140 they got 5 000 votes then the next one seven eight nine ten twenty and all of a sudden from
00:47:11.800 30 000 to 3 000 and they don't want to talk to anybody about it green party does the green party
00:47:17.220 doesn't want to talk to us about that they lost 90 of their votes and they don't want to talk to
00:47:22.060 anybody about it so did we do we know how much the ndp vote went up yep uh i've got that was it
00:47:29.160 about 27 000 it was well that was a good part of it but the libs went through the same thing right
00:47:34.520 the the liberals lost 16 000 votes out of what they they got 68 000 votes in 2013 and they got
00:47:42.360 51,000 this time so they lost 16,000 so if you add the 26 or 27,000 the green party lost and say
00:47:49.780 the 17,000 that the um that the uh um the liberals lost it comes pretty close to the uh 68,000
00:47:58.480 additional votes that the NDP got or 73,000 sorry okay so could this be something like
00:48:05.700 maybe all of the parties getting together I I really don't think so because this would be
00:48:11.300 almost impossible to organize something like this but it's anything to get rid of the pcs so let's
00:48:18.200 get all the greens together and say all right we're going to give up our votes to undp and the
00:48:22.780 liberals say we're going to give up our votes to undp and so they form a voting block is that even
00:48:28.260 possible we're talking about thousands of people here i think that's possible i mean look at you
00:48:33.660 can do it by running a really bad campaign not getting your people out maybe not running candidates
00:48:39.400 It's in every, every, every bridging.
00:48:42.520 That's one way you could do it.
00:48:44.460 And, you know, I mean, when I started looking at this, these numbers, you know, I didn't know what to expect.
00:48:51.420 I mean, who the heck would know that the Green Party would play such a big part in this election?
00:48:56.680 And so when I discovered it, you know, a lot of things go through your mind.
00:49:01.120 You know, there were potentially election irregularities.
00:49:04.980 did the green party the greens collude with the NDP I don't know the answer to that did they just
00:49:11.880 not have did they just not want to run reasonable candidates and didn't run reasonable candidates
00:49:16.040 maybe but but it's it's one heck of a blow to them I mean one heck of a blow and and you'd think that
00:49:23.020 if this happened to them they'd be kind of they'd be kind of wanting to talk to somebody about it
00:49:27.240 be mad and find out what happened but they're not returning calls emails phone calls nothing
00:49:31.980 Okay, so Elaine brings up an interesting point here. It doesn't really matter, she says, if the cause is fraud or incompetence, the real problem is that elections are not fair or free.
00:49:44.160 Gentlemen, this is a very interesting topic, and I know that you both are down the rabbit hole some. I know that you absolutely believe the World Economic Forum is dictating policy in this country, both provincially and federally and municipally.
00:49:57.160 So let me ask you, do you think that we've been bamboozled for years and years and years and years?
00:50:03.320 Elections have never been free or fair, or is this just a recent phenomenon?
00:50:07.100 Or are we completely off the mark here whatsoever that elections are free and fair, they just make mistakes?
00:50:15.240 What do you think?
00:50:16.980 Well, we've actually gone a little further than what we've talked about so far.
00:50:24.020 And we're starting to look at the form and function of the parties themselves.
00:50:30.580 And what we've been finding out there has been, I don't know what the word is.
00:50:38.520 I'm a little lost for words on it.
00:50:40.900 Corruption? Is it corruption, Ken?
00:50:43.640 It all depends.
00:50:44.460 I know you don't want to say that. You don't want to say it. Let me say it.
00:50:47.980 Just nod your head, yes or no.
00:50:50.740 Well, you know, it's not, let's put it this way.
00:50:54.020 I think people don't really understand, and I'm not going to be technically completely right here, and Ken, you can certainly jump in and correct me, but I don't think people understand that political parties are privately owned entities.
00:51:08.260 It's like wanting to join the Cub Scouts.
00:51:10.360 You know, the Cub Scouts can make up their own rules and whatever rules they want.
00:51:14.980 And to an extent. 0.97
00:51:16.540 And that's kind of what happened to Shelley Glover. 1.00
00:51:18.680 There were no rules in place as to how those ballots were supposed to be held and how they were supposed to be counted or security on them.
00:51:25.420 And essentially, the judge said there's no rules on it.
00:51:27.460 So, you know, they can do what they want.
00:51:29.580 So the way these things are supposed to run at a typical political party, and they vary a little bit, is you have an executive.
00:51:36.800 and then manitoba has 57 different ridings and you're supposed to have a constituency association
00:51:44.000 in each of the 57 ridings and so what the constituency associations do and just so
00:51:50.780 happens the pcs average about 250 members per riding registered members for riding i think
00:51:56.240 that's about the average and so that each constituency is supposed to meet and they're
00:52:01.440 supposed to elect delegates and uh and then those delegates are supposed to have the votes as to
00:52:06.900 what going on on the leadership so if you want a new leader you know these delegates 10 from each
00:52:11.860 riding that are supposedly elected in those ridings go to the to the meeting there was one
00:52:17.040 in january 13th here in winnipeg and so they're supposed to go and leadership is supposed to
00:52:23.140 present them with whatever the new rules are or whoever they want to run and then all these
00:52:26.940 delegates are supposed to vote but the trouble is is nobody goes to the riding association meetings
00:52:33.260 you'll show up at one there's eight people there you know it'll be the candidate his wife his cousin
00:52:37.320 jim his uncle bob and billy bid but not all this other kind of stuff going there so you know just
00:52:42.740 for that just just to see we had a bunch of people they're just there for the free coffee and brownies
00:52:47.540 right like yeah i didn't know there was something going on here i just saw free coffee and brownies
00:52:52.260 on the side yeah so that the delegates that they elect are it's really um it's apathy there yeah
00:52:59.660 and you know just to see i i got myself um put on the on the slate in my writing and i became a
00:53:06.100 delegate and then when i was they were voting for me and i voted my wife in so rosalie and i are
00:53:10.180 delegates on uh in our writing and we did that in four or five other writings as well but we could
00:53:15.220 have we could have simply taken all the delegates so that's how that's kind of how it's supposed to
00:53:20.900 work. But then when you go to these meetings, like on January 13th in Winnipeg, everybody just
00:53:25.180 got bulldozed over. They presented a whole new way of counting votes to elect people in the party
00:53:32.100 that nobody understands. We had people all over and were asking the candidates, asking the person
00:53:38.820 sitting next to them, do you understand what the hell is going on? None of them did, but they voted
00:53:42.420 it anyway. Then they just cut off the meeting. Would you say that, and the experience I had
00:53:49.140 with the progressive conservative party of manitoba and ken drysdale you you were there
00:53:55.360 for one of those meetings at the restaurant um i found them disorganized and they had a defeatist
00:54:05.580 attitude i i got the feeling that they thought they were going to lose so what's the point in
00:54:10.280 even continuing with the campaign and they seemed so set in their ways because it's always been done
00:54:16.600 like that they refused to actually look at new concepts new ideas for getting the word out
00:54:21.800 or any kind of boldness whatsoever right like parental rights like danielle smith is doing
00:54:27.340 in alberta right now because they're scared they're scared of the marxist media and they're
00:54:32.340 scared of of what the trans tifa yeah why i don't know i can give you i can actually give you a
00:54:41.640 story on that like I I brought forward the parents rights uh concept to them and uh it was a bunch of
00:54:50.820 work done by a gentleman named Ron Friesen who provided me a bunch of background information
00:54:55.300 they just did a great job and I presented it and they jumped all over it and they said they're
00:55:00.080 going to do it and at the final meeting there was four of us in this meeting and I said you know we
00:55:07.260 we shouldn't stop there why don't we say why don't we make another addition to that one and
00:55:12.600 suggest that biological males would not be allowed to compete against biological females in any school
00:55:19.500 sports well they said well we can't do that oh why well because they'd call us transphobic i said
00:55:27.140 who's they who's they the parents of the girls are they going to call us through like who's they
00:55:32.780 And they said, no, we can't take a chance on that.
00:55:36.080 That's just no good.
00:55:39.000 And I brought up another one.
00:55:40.200 I brought up, I said, maybe we should, we got a nurse shortage. 1.00
00:55:44.160 Why don't we say we're going to invite back all the unvaccinated people we fired, 1.00
00:55:47.980 give them some money to compensate them for the time that you forced them out of their job, 0.99
00:55:52.760 and make an announcement that we were welcoming them all back.
00:55:55.720 Oh, no, we can't do anything to do with that pandemic.
00:55:58.720 We're not touching that.
00:55:59.620 We're not doing that.
00:56:00.300 so they have no i mean the people there's all sorts of people that would have went finally
00:56:06.460 all these people that were thrown out of their jobs like when i was running for leadership all
00:56:12.140 these are all the people that were coming they were ndp liberals they were everybody
00:56:15.680 every like firemen policemen uh nurses all hospital workers these people lost their
00:56:23.520 livelihoods and you know what you guys watching this right now we're going to continue on until
00:56:28.820 the end of this interview on all of the social media before we switch over to shadow davis.com
00:56:33.300 for the uh for the pass holders so we're sticking with ken and ken here and i want you also to 0.85
00:56:39.720 understand that we're talking about specifically manitoba right now but this is the same crap
00:56:45.840 that goes on in every province across the country yeah these people are not elites i remember i was
00:56:54.620 had a pc fundraiser at a restaurant on tembata highway back in september about two days before
00:57:00.160 the million person march for kids and i saw one of the ministers one of the high ranking
00:57:04.840 ministers standing there just like how are you doing and i thought to myself oh my god dude it's
00:57:13.700 like 6 30 in the evening and you're high-eyed i'm not naming names because i don't want to embarrass
00:57:19.600 this guy yeah but i thought you want to show yourself as as a high-ranking minister in the
00:57:27.440 provincial government like this with all of these people who paid a hundred dollars per ticket to
00:57:32.560 come and see you you're almost ready to fall on on the floor it was embarrassing you bring up the
00:57:39.520 million person march and i thought that was the perfect timing for our campaign we just announced
00:57:46.300 parents' rights. And if you believe this, there was only one cabinet minister who was also an
00:57:54.700 elected official that showed up for the march. That was the St. River Janice Morty that showed
00:57:59.020 up. And not one of her colleagues came to that. Of the 57 candidates, one showed up for that march.
00:58:07.860 Do you know that there were plans for Heather Stephenson to come out and speak to all of the
00:58:13.540 people we had gathered that day i remember that shadow yeah that that was um we had i'm not even
00:58:19.880 sure how many i think there was about 5 000 people that came out yeah that day yeah and she could have
00:58:26.280 come out she could have been a hero do you guys know billboard chris is no do we know who he is
00:58:32.020 yeah yeah okay well ken one of the kens knows billboard chris is a guy who is originally from
00:58:39.440 vancouver he's a big believer in parental rights and he wears a billboard right and he goes and
00:58:45.140 stands on corners in big cities all across the world and he talks to people he talks to people
00:58:50.340 about uh this trans thing that's going on about uh non-binaries about you know boys playing in
00:58:57.980 girls sports and and all of that and what he said to me the night that he was on the show a couple
00:59:02.720 of months ago is that 99.9% of all of the people he talks to and guys, he stands out there for 12
00:59:13.940 hours a day with a sign that says, uh, not that many transes ask me why or whatever. Right. So 0.77
00:59:22.780 people naturally will stop and they'll start engaging with him. Yes, he does get some wackadoos,
00:59:27.660 But the bottom line is, he says, 99.9% of the people I speak with absolutely agree with me, and they can't believe that this whole thing has gone on so far. He said, shadow, he looked me right in the face. He goes, shadow, I don't understand why these political parties are afraid to speak about this. It's a winner.
00:59:49.100 That's exactly right.
00:59:50.540 I polled it.
00:59:51.380 I actually polled it during the election.
00:59:53.780 And in ridings where we were maybe 40%, like good riding, which we ended up losing.
01:00:00.060 I don't know how we lost that one.
01:00:01.480 But we were 40%.
01:00:02.400 On that question about parent rights, it was like 65%.
01:00:06.800 It was some as high as 70%.
01:00:08.900 Which is still too low.
01:00:10.320 Yeah, it was a winning.
01:00:11.240 It was an absolute winner.
01:00:12.840 Absolute winner.
01:00:13.520 Amazing.
01:00:14.100 And we didn't do anything.
01:00:15.540 You know what it is?
01:00:16.580 they think and this was the last conservative federal conservative leaders downfall he thought
01:00:22.720 that he was nicey nice and he gave up all of his conservative beliefs that the press would be nicey
01:00:27.740 nice to him and they're not no you know they they gave up on everything that's traditionally
01:00:32.780 conservative platform and the press just butchered him and and he left in disgrace yeah absolutely
01:00:39.320 he did because the press never will be nice to anybody who is a conservative not ever they
01:00:46.420 hate us they can't stand us but more than that the political spectrum has moved so far to the left
01:00:53.600 that those of us who used to stand in the middle are now depicted as right-wing extremists which
01:01:00.120 is hilarious so what do we have here for solutions you guys i know ken you've been doing a lot of
01:01:04.740 work with manitoba stronger together and you're you're going out you're talking to people you
01:01:09.020 were up in arberg you're going to be in boziger in the next couple of weeks i think
01:01:13.140 Yeah. Yeah. And so what what goes on at these meetings?
01:01:17.500 Are you getting more and more people coming out and attending and what are you telling them?
01:01:21.720 Oh, yeah. We're at about 40, 41,000 people now.
01:01:25.920 And for you, man, way to go.
01:01:28.300 We have a couple of messages.
01:01:30.360 You know, the first message is we tell people that political parties are like a shell game.
01:01:36.480 They're not there for you.
01:01:37.620 you know you they you're that you're kind of the p in the shell game and and you think you're
01:01:42.120 picking the blue cup but it's not the blue cup it's the red cup and it actually doesn't matter
01:01:46.280 which cup you vote for you still the province still declines and you and i give examples of
01:01:53.280 that you know i talk about and a lot of manitobas don't know that we used to have a rocket range in
01:01:57.300 manitoba we used to shoot rocket ships into space here in manitoba we used to service all their
01:02:01.360 canada's jets we used to service the trains the locomotives for both cncp we had mining
01:02:07.120 interests. We had all kinds of things. And that's all gone now in the last 65 years. And so it
01:02:13.220 wasn't just the PCs. It wasn't just the NDPs or the liberals. They all did it to us. And so it
01:02:18.640 just keeps going down. It's like a relay race to the bottom. And so somehow you have to come up
01:02:23.920 with an ability to break the unholy alliance between a candidate and the party. And I think
01:02:30.080 we have a solution to that. And this won't surprise you. You know, we analyzed all the
01:02:35.560 election results over the last several years. And what we found was in the last two elections in
01:02:45.220 Manitoba, I think it was 14 out of the 57 seats were decided by less than a thousand votes. Some
01:02:53.700 of them were decided by a hundred votes. And these are in ridings where there's 15,000 eligible
01:02:58.400 voters and 7,500 don't vote. So the idea is we're going to target all of these at-risk
01:03:06.120 riding seats, and we're going to organize 500 new voters in them. And we're going to say to the
01:03:12.360 candidate, this is what we want. As a matter of fact, we've developed a report card. I'm just
01:03:17.680 looking around my office. I should have had it out here, but we've developed a report card for
01:03:21.780 every single MLA. It tells you how they voted, where they voted, did they vote, what's their
01:03:26.360 financial disclosure how much money did you pay them last year what did they say in the answer
01:03:30.300 what did they vote for what didn't they vote for and it gives all of their resume information and
01:03:34.440 everything else we got it for every single one of them so we go with them when they're running for
01:03:38.320 office we say well this is what you did the last time this is what we want you to do and we will
01:03:43.180 vote for you but if you don't do what we're asking you to do because we also have legislative
01:03:47.720 reporters there and during the sessions that we're going to vote you out and we don't care
01:03:52.800 if you're a red armband or a blue armband or a purple armband and that breaks this unholy
01:03:58.340 alliance between the candidate and the party you do that in even one or two ridings and you've got
01:04:04.980 them do you think though that you could ever vote NDP despite who the candidate was could you ever
01:04:14.620 bring yourself once you you know it doesn't make much difference it honestly doesn't I mean when
01:04:20.900 you see what they what the policies i mean look at why in the heck did the pcs in 2022 bring in
01:04:27.900 computerized voting in manitoba why and ken told me a story ken was it the ndp or the pcs who changed
01:04:35.840 the the relationship between elections manitoba and the government and they brought in it was the
01:04:42.200 ndp and and the pcs were against that but they never changed it back and that was they never
01:04:47.980 changed it back and they should have that's like what 15 years ago yeah they changed it just after
01:04:53.280 the 99 election the NDP made a massive change in the manner in which they hire election officials
01:04:59.420 and they never changed ever just briefly what it was was under the old system the Manitoba
01:05:06.180 Legislative Assembly five members on that committee would be three from the ruling party and
01:05:11.000 one of the in 99 it was a liberal and a conservative uh they used to decide
01:05:17.660 hire effectively hire the 57 district returning officers and doer brought in and he said we're
01:05:25.300 gonna take that duty away from the legislature and give it to the chief electoral officer
01:05:31.040 and that has a huge massive impact because that that bro that the district returning officer gets
01:05:38.380 to hire his entire team and so they hire between i think they need eight between eight and nine
01:05:45.580 thousand people work in every campaign because i asked them i said how in the world do you hire
01:05:51.700 nine thousand people well we don't we have district attorney officers so then things started
01:05:56.380 making sense like in point douglas and some of these writings where you know they were in 2007
01:06:02.480 I think, what they did to one of our candidates there, Johnny Vernas.
01:06:07.320 It was unbelievable what happened in that rally.
01:06:09.120 It's a long, it's another show shadow.
01:06:11.480 But let me ask you this.
01:06:15.180 How bad is the bureaucracy in terms of for any politician or even a political party to get anything done?
01:06:23.880 How bad is it?
01:06:25.280 Horrible.
01:06:26.720 Dysfunctional. 0.72
01:06:27.320 Completely dysfunctional.
01:06:29.400 Is it because of the unions or is it because of certain affiliations that maybe deputy ministers?
01:06:35.180 No, you can't get rid of people.
01:06:36.820 Yeah.
01:06:37.280 The deputy minister, the ones that are hired by the party or by the government, I guess you could say, the actual government, they can't fire people.
01:06:46.320 Yeah.
01:06:47.140 It's the most dysfunctional system I've ever seen.
01:06:50.440 And that wasn't always the case, by the way.
01:06:52.460 that was changed um i want to say 20 years ago because when the new government came in
01:06:57.560 everybody down to i can't remember what level they'd be gone that still happened oh but they
01:07:04.840 they've now brought it up that certain levels you can't fire anymore because my brother-in-law was
01:07:09.040 a deputy or something or other but uh but we didn't like uh brian palliser didn't didn't get
01:07:15.300 rid of all these people he left a lot there it was one last he said he was going to do all that
01:07:22.200 too and he didn't do it so let me ask you this because we talked about this earlier
01:07:25.680 pallister leaves quickly he's gone he's living in costa rica now there's no more trace of brian
01:07:31.800 pallister anywhere he's a rumor yeah um why did he leave so quickly that's a million dollar question
01:07:40.240 i've been asking myself every day i ask myself that question because that made no sense to me
01:07:44.780 then makes no sense to me i can't find any reason logical reason why he would have left he wanted
01:07:51.140 the third term Brian Palser is a very strong-willed man and he's got a very high opinion of himself
01:07:57.880 like he thought he I mean he knew he could win he probably would have won I don't know
01:08:01.700 but he left so suddenly I I was I was floored completely completely floored I still am I have
01:08:09.500 no idea why he left is there any speculation there's lots of speculation speculation but
01:08:15.980 you you don't want to talk about the speculation and that's fine okay I'll tell you what I've
01:08:20.020 heard i don't know i mean that he may have been threatened hold on okay now that's what i've heard
01:08:24.780 also yeah so i don't know who started that but but by who's the who's the one who's doing the
01:08:30.520 threatening is it the people who are being suppressed by his ridiculous draconian covid
01:08:34.960 mandates or is it somebody else is it because there is no way i mean brian pallister was a
01:08:41.120 conservatives conservative right okay can i give you i can i can talk about this for a minute or
01:08:46.840 so because yes i'll tell you a little story so i became a candidate in the leadership contest
01:08:54.340 and a good friend of mine knew a constitutional lawyer in ottawa and he said ken you need to
01:09:01.820 talk to this guy because you you have lots of questions i might and so anyhow he got him on
01:09:05.940 the phone and the guy's name was michael stedman stedman something like that and you know he he
01:09:11.360 was 78 retired and you know i get him on the phone we're driving to brandon and so he said
01:09:17.000 i can't i understand you have some questions i said yeah i got i got some questions i said
01:09:20.960 you know um if i got elected and as my daughter said fluked off a win and i became premier
01:09:28.960 could i just decide that the the emergency act would not be renewed so therefore if there was
01:09:37.280 no emergency act that means the charter of rights is back in place the mantle of health public health
01:09:41.700 act is back in place and everything's back to normal everybody can decide for themselves they
01:09:45.940 got all the protections you have as a canadian he says sure you can do whatever you want because
01:09:52.480 do you think that the war the war measures act or the emergency act is actually lawful
01:09:59.300 he said they didn't go through parliament they did it's it's not of the british north american
01:10:03.960 Act. You have to go through Parliament. You have to have a meeting of all the premiers.
01:10:08.120 And it has to be the governor general and the prime minister. And he said they didn't do any
01:10:14.600 of that. They gave that jurisdiction to the province. So if you actually go look at the
01:10:19.320 orders, they're not even signed by the lieutenant governor. They're signed in Manitoba. They were
01:10:24.400 signed by Rusin and the minister of health. The premier didn't even sign them here. In Saskatchewan,
01:10:30.480 I think Moe signed them, and the lieutenant governor signed them.
01:10:34.040 So anyhow, what they were doing, he says, basically, you're living from a press release.
01:10:39.440 You're abiding by a press release because there's no law.
01:10:43.780 So then I said—
01:10:44.620 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:10:45.760 I'll let you finish the story in just a second.
01:10:47.420 But depending on who signed the papers, would that make them void if they were signed by the right people?
01:10:54.360 I would say that if the premier and lieutenant governor signed it, that'd have more credence to it.
01:11:00.040 but the jurisdiction can't be just given to the provinces to decide that
01:11:03.840 you're going to have an emergency act. You can't, you can't do that.
01:11:06.320 The only real one was when they went after the convoy.
01:11:08.880 They did that one. Correct. 0.99
01:11:11.040 Trudeau went through all the proper channels.
01:11:13.040 They didn't do that. No, they didn't do that. Correct. Either.
01:11:15.860 That's been wrong.
01:11:17.520 Well, they more or less correct. Actually.
01:11:20.720 I'll have to talk to you about this later, Ken,
01:11:22.380 but I found some crazy stuff about what banks do now since the convoy.
01:11:26.860 Okay. That's another episode. That's another episode altogether.
01:11:30.040 so listen guys i gotta wrap it up i want to thank you for coming on were you finished with the story
