Western Standard - AB REPORT： Alberta media silent on NDP Communist candidate

00:00:00.000 G'day, I'm Derek Vildebrandt, publisher of the Western Standard. Today is May 11th,

00:00:15.180 2022. You're watching the Alberta Report, our daily campaign updates from the campaign trail

00:00:21.880 here. I'm joined as usual by Western Standard News Editor, Dave Naylor. How are you, Dave?

00:00:26.520 I'm well, Derek. Thank you.

00:00:28.280 Our opinion editor, Nigel Henniford, is out and about on some business right now outside of our office.

00:00:34.540 But we've got Western Standard Calgary reporter Jonathan Bradley joining us.

00:00:39.520 How are you, Jonathan?

00:00:40.160 Doing good. How are you?

00:00:41.240 Beautiful. No one's supposed to ask me that back.

00:00:43.860 Okay. We're going to be talking about the complete non-fallout from revelations that the NDP have open communists running for them in this election.

00:00:54.860 Total media silence on the fact that the NDP have incontrovertible evidence that the NDP have open communists running for them right now.

00:01:06.680 We're going to talk about the latest seat projections from 338.com that are projecting a wild nail-biter of a race right now.

00:01:16.540 Really just a few seats that could come down to a few hundred votes in just a few constituencies to determine who wins the May 29th election.

00:01:24.860 And the latest promises from the campaign trail, the UCP promising a 25% discount if you're old.

00:01:32.680 That's right.

00:01:33.220 If you are officially a senior, how old?

00:01:37.060 65.

00:01:37.560 If you're 65 or older, you get 25% off on all government services.

00:01:43.080 Campaign promise sure to make Jonathan and I happy at least.

00:01:48.180 All right.

00:01:49.740 Oh, and before we get into it, I just want to thank our sponsor, Canadian Shooting Sports Association.

00:01:54.860 Canadian Shooting Sports Association is Canada's leading firearms rights organization in Canada.

00:01:59.840 If you're a gun owner in Canada, you need to be a member.

00:02:02.080 Go to cssa-cila.org or just Google them, as I do, and become a member today.

00:02:08.960 It's worth every penny to defend your rights as a firearms owner in Canada.

00:02:12.460 Okay, so yesterday, Jonathan, you broke the story, actually.

00:02:18.260 Edmonton MLA, two-term MLA, and NDP candidate Rod Loyola.

00:02:24.860 previously was known for his weird secular but church-like service in the memory of then

00:02:33.260 recently deceased Venezuelan communist dictator Hugo Chavez. But then you broke the story yesterday

00:02:42.300 obtaining pictures of him marching in front of a communist party of Canada parade with a big

00:02:46.700 communist party banner. Pretty clearly communist. I don't think there's any disagreement that he is

00:02:54.860 marching with, if not leading, a Communist Party parade.

00:03:01.040 You broke the story on it.

00:03:02.680 There was no comment from the NDP, probably wisely so,

00:03:06.060 because the rest of the media, have you, I asked you to look into it this morning,

00:03:10.860 has there been a single news report from the Herald, the Journal, the Suns, television, radio?

00:03:17.540 Have you seen a single report in legacy media pointing out that there is an open communist running for the NDP right now?

00:03:24.360 Nothing. I went on Google News prior to getting on here to see if there was anything posted in the last 24 hours about Rod Loyola, and nothing.

00:03:32.900 The only other thing that was available was a Rebel News story that was unrelated.

00:03:36.660 Yeah, about his previous Hugo Chavez.

00:03:38.260 No, no, no. The Rebel News story was about his comments about the police that they posted.

00:03:42.440 Oh, yes, yes, yes.

00:03:43.740 But nothing. I didn't see anything from the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, CBC News Calgary, CTV News Calgary.

00:03:49.000 Dave, what the hell? You've worked in the legacy media. You worked at the Calgary Sun

00:03:58.760 for most of your career before the Western Standard here.

00:04:04.600 I feel like at least the old Sun would find it newsworthy that a sitting two-term MLA and

00:04:09.480 candidate for a party that has a good chance of forming government in Alberta

00:04:13.800 is a member of a political party that killed about 100 million people in the last century.

00:04:19.000 I think the old sun would have. But don't forget, it's not the sun anymore. It's post media. It's run by the Herald. They're both the same. But, you know, the big thing, we're not surprised, are we, Derek, that the legacy media is a good one?

00:04:33.280 I'm feigning surprise.

00:04:34.140 Yes, feigning surprise. We're shocked because the media, for the most part, the legacy media is left wing and they're not going to go out of their way to write stories that could lead, you know, some votes swinging towards the UCP.

00:04:49.080 They don't like the UCP and their columnists clearly favored the NDP and they're not going to do anything to to harm them.

00:04:57.600 Okay, but I mean, they're not 100% in the I don't leave. I know some of our viewers are disagree, but I generally don't think of them as sitting around the taking orders from the NDP war room.

00:05:10.460 No, you know, most of them are more professional than that. And there are some good people in the legacy media.

00:05:16.300 Like they're not all bad. There's some good guys there.

00:05:18.440 But where the hell are they?

00:05:21.500 Keep in mind that certainly for Post Media, the Journal, The Sun, The Herald, The Edmonton Sun, they don't work in newsrooms anymore.

00:05:31.040 They just stay at home and work in their individual basements.

00:05:34.560 So there's no exchange of ideas.

00:05:36.720 There's no, you know, talking amongst the reporters, you know, coming up with ideas, generating ideas, saying, hey, let's go after this.

00:05:45.140 there's none of that that goes on which you know for for a newsroom that is exactly what you need

00:05:53.360 and I feel sorry for young journalists unlike Jonathan who don't get to grow up in a newsroom

00:05:59.960 they get to just work at home and don't get to experience what what Jonathan does you know as

00:06:06.240 we abuse him here in our newsroom yeah to build on that point I mean we actually literally do

00:06:12.320 abuse him here. Yes, we did. Yeah, to build on that point, when Rebel News broke a story in the last

00:06:21.200 election about Anne McGrath running for the Communist Party back in Calgary Varsity, I believe

00:06:25.100 there weren't any news outlets in the mainstream media that covered, if I'm not mistaken. There

00:06:29.480 might have been maybe one or two, but... I think there was passing mention of things, but there

00:06:33.300 was no like dedicated stories that woman who ran for Communist Party in the 80s when the Russians

00:06:39.080 wanted to nuke us is running for the NDP. But there was some passing mention of it. But I mean,

00:06:46.720 that could be dismissed at least a little bit as I was the 80s. Yeah, you know, crazy kids,

00:06:52.400 you know, and I think, you know, you're not that far out of university here. You know that

00:06:58.020 communism is not a weird thing on modern campuses. It's, it's certainly not considered at least

00:07:04.160 beyond the pale. Everyone's not a communist, but everyone knows there's plenty of communists and

00:07:08.840 I think a lot of people in the post-secondary education system who come out of it think, well, everyone's been a communist. Who hasn't been a communist going through university?

00:07:17.820 And the atrocities of Mao and Stalin are long history now and forgotten by the younger communists of the day.

00:07:26.300 I don't think they ever remembered it. The atrocities of Hitler are still very well remembered, but, you know, the communists had more time to run up their death score. 0.56

00:07:38.000 But I don't know, Jonathan, do you think it's just that this isn't seen as, you know, you came out of university not that long ago.

00:07:46.460 Yes.

00:07:47.080 And do you think it's just that people in newsrooms see that, okay, a communist is running for the NDP.

00:07:52.860 That's not a big deal.

00:07:53.780 I know plenty of communists from my time in university.

00:07:57.680 What is it?

00:07:58.260 What do you think it is?

00:07:59.480 Well, I think it might just be that we're not educated enough on that.

00:08:02.220 I mean, Jordan Peterson talks about that, about the atrocities of communism all the time and how the younger generations aren't aware of that.

00:08:09.280 I mean, I went to a trauma metropolitan university, formerly Ryerson University, and it was a woke school where many of my fellow classmates were communists or just completely unaware of how great capitalism it is and what it's allowed people to achieve.

00:08:23.560 well

00:08:26.160 I don't know

00:08:28.740 I said I was feigning surprise

00:08:31.320 but even I've been surprised

00:08:33.280 that there's just been nothing

00:08:35.020 I thought there'd be like some

00:08:37.080 some reporting

00:08:38.560 I was going to say lots more to come

00:08:42.500 yeah that's where I was going

00:08:43.920 Jonathan there's lots more to come

00:08:45.460 you've got the goods

00:08:46.640 Rod Loyola is not the only open communist

00:08:49.760 in the NDP's slate of candidates this year

00:08:52.680 Or at least tell us about what you published today or what is going to be published today.

00:08:58.460 Well, there's another candidate who had retweeted a post from...

00:09:02.200 Is that story coming today?

00:09:03.340 That story should be coming out today.

00:09:05.480 You can use names. 0.73

00:09:06.160 Okay, that candidate, Diana Baden, was caught retweeting a post from a pro-communism Twitter account.

00:09:13.380 It was related to an American hacker...

00:09:15.740 And just for some context here, this Twitter account had hammers and sickles on it.

00:09:20.940 It said, Vote Communist May 4th.

00:09:22.680 Yeah, and had, like, hammer and sickle emojis and stuff.

00:09:25.320 Yes.

00:09:25.780 Yeah.

00:09:26.840 Do they have swastika emojis?

00:09:30.160 I don't believe so, no.

00:09:31.900 Not that I've seen.

00:09:33.380 Well, we've got to be consistent here.

00:09:34.860 You either have to add swastika emojis or get rid of the hammer and sickle ones.

00:09:38.780 Okay.

00:09:39.300 Sorry.

00:09:39.700 So continue on, Jonathan.

00:09:40.540 Yeah.

00:09:41.200 So she was caught.

00:09:43.160 She retweeted a post from a pro-communism Twitter account.

00:09:46.900 It was titled Vote Communism May 4th.

00:09:49.000 The tweet has since been deleted of the account.

00:09:51.360 And it was about an American hacker named Aaron Schwartz, who was facing up to 35 years in prison for hacking into MIT's system.

00:10:00.860 And was there anything else communist from this candidate?

00:10:04.400 No, that was just it. But it was rather talking to see someone retweet.

00:10:07.780 And I know we're not going to spill the beans here, but there is even more.

00:10:10.460 Yes. 1.00

00:10:10.800 There is a whole den of reds running. 1.00

00:10:13.840 Den of reds. 0.98

00:10:14.620 There's a den of red under every bed. 0.85

00:10:17.080 I mean, I was accused of red baiting yesterday, so. 0.99

00:10:18.980 I think there's no shame in red-baiting. 0.98

00:10:22.000 Absolutely, man. 1.00

00:10:24.120 Communism is a crime, and it's the only one for which I believe in summary execution.

00:10:30.640 Okay.

00:10:31.680 Well, we're going to move on, I guess, more to the politics, the raw politics, away from media, more towards the raw politics here.

00:10:39.620 The latest C projections.

00:10:43.040 So Jonathan338.com.

00:10:45.500 Now, it's an aggregator.

00:10:46.540 They kind of take an aggregation of generally all the credible polls that are published and kind of come up with an average of those polls generally.

00:10:57.020 And then use a formula that is not exact, but pretty good generally determining how that overall vote is going to translate into actual seats on the ground.

00:11:08.100 What were the main findings in the latest projection?

00:11:10.460 So the main findings were that the Alberta United Conservative Party would win a majority government with 45 seats, and the Alberta NDP would form the official opposition with 42 seats, and no other parties would win a seat in the Alberta legislature.

00:11:26.200 I've got, I'm looking here, they're actually, I've got the 338 has went 45 and 42, but yeah, still very close.

00:11:32.920 Yes, that's what I said.

00:11:33.740 Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. So yeah, oh, you're right. Yeah. So that's a division of just three seats and you need one for the speaker. So that would give you just a two seat effective majority. The speaker only votes if there's a tie vote. So if someone's sick one day, extremely rare to see something like that. I think two elections ago in BC, there turned out to be something like that. It was so close and you had speakers breaking ties. It's very unusual.

00:11:59.780 Anything else stand out for you from the projections there?

00:12:04.240 Nothing really.

00:12:05.100 I mean, there's a whole bunch of seats in Calgary that are toss-up seats at the moment.

00:12:10.060 That's not really a surprise because Calgary is the battleground area.

00:12:13.140 There's a few outside of Calgary that are considered battleground areas,

00:12:16.700 like Banff-Cananaskis, Leftbridge East, Sherwood Park.

00:12:22.500 Lesser Slave Lake was considered a battleground, but it's starting to trend more UCP now.

00:12:25.520 So I suspect that seat will probably go to UCP.

00:12:27.280 Actually, yeah, so my mix up there was the popular vote of the average of these polls was 48 UCP, 44 NDP.

00:12:36.580 So the UCP has a slight overall edge in the popular vote.

00:12:41.100 And then I think the smart wisdom, Dave, is that even if the parties were tied in popular vote,

00:12:48.000 the UCP still probably comes out ever so slightly ahead because the math is just better.

00:12:54.660 The NDP are so concentrated in Edmonton, and with the exception of a very small number of seats, the two in Lethbridge, Banff, Canaanaskis, the NDP is totally uncompetitive outside of the two big cities.

00:13:07.900 Right. They're basically going to have to sweep Calgary if they're going to, if they want to become the government. Getting back to the polls, saw one earlier this week by Main Street, 50 to 43 for the UCP. So they're the sort of first poll to show that the UCP may be gaining a little bit of, getting a little bit of traction. But yeah, currently right now, as it stands, the numbers are not there for the NDP to form a majority, but it's close.

00:13:37.480 it's close a little with uh some of the toss-ups there's maybe like a percentage of a difference

00:13:41.960 like uh calgary acadia so we're gonna dive into some of these seats right now um so they got a

00:13:49.080 list here of the toss-ups there's a lot of we're not going to go through every toss-up because

00:13:51.640 there's there's a lot of them but some of the highlights here so calgary acadia yes um so

00:13:56.600 there we've got tyler shandro running uh and who's the ndp candidate diana madden um that is a

00:14:02.760 a wildly tight race. I know the UCP is pouring resources into it. The NDP is pouring resources

00:14:08.560 into it. There, it could come down. I would not be shocked to see that as the single closest 0.97

00:14:14.520 race in Alberta, or easily, I'm going to say it's in the top five closest races in Alberta. It could

00:14:21.000 be easily within a couple of hundred votes. I would not be shocked at all. And there, you know,

00:14:25.820 it's a particularly interesting race, Dave, because Tyler Shandro was the health minister

00:14:31.320 under Jason Kenney. And the left hates him because it was fights with doctors and whatnot. And a lot

00:14:37.640 of the more populous right hates him because he was the minister who oversaw lockdowns and mandates

00:14:43.000 and all of these things that played a massive role in having Kenney thrown out. Yeah, he's got the

00:14:49.480 ghost of COVID hanging over him. Yeah. So he's in a he's in a tough battle. He's in a battle for

00:14:55.160 for his political life without a doubt. And then on top of that, there's the Law Society of Alberta

00:14:58.920 investigation that he's facing right now over his i'm not that one's getting some media traction

00:15:04.600 i'm not sure that one though is getting as much at the doors but no i mean anger at him over covid

00:15:09.960 you know a few hundred people who are still upset with maybe they've forgiven the ucp and come back

00:15:14.280 in the general ucp fold but who are angry at him over his actions as health minister

00:15:19.320 conservatives who stay home or vote for one of the smaller parties on the right that could cost

00:15:24.520 them the seat i guess the the question there i think is luckily for him in this case i don't

00:15:30.040 most people don't vote for their mla they vote party they vote leader and platform they they're

00:15:34.280 not really voting for mla but i and then he's in trouble and daniel smith was sort of elected on a

00:15:41.560 on a platform where she vowed never to bring in lockdowns again and uh and wasn't happy with what

00:15:47.240 what kenny did so so you're right though that's uh chandra's only hope uh calgary bow is another

00:15:53.720 very close one there. We've got the UCP's Minister of Post-Secondary Education,

00:16:00.120 Dimitrios Nikolaitis, running. He's being challenged by Drew Farrell. She is a former

00:16:05.960 member of the Calgary City Council. Dave, you have covered her in the city.

00:16:08.920 Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

00:16:13.560 I don't think she's well known in the riding because her municipal ward was in a different,

00:16:17.960 more central part of the city. Calgary Bow is on the western extremity of the city.

00:16:23.720 Got name recognition though. She does have name recognition, but she's got a bit of a record and it's not necessarily a particular, the centrist Wahidian image that the NDP is trying to put forward.

00:16:37.220 No, no. She was very left-wing on Calgary City Council, ignited a firestorm when she accused police officers of being wife beaters, you know, and has a, you know, currently going before the courts right now with a lawsuit brought on by a Calgary businessman that she basically forced the closure of his stampede tent because she didn't like the noise and the parking around her Kensington home.

00:17:05.880 So yeah, that's what his lawsuit is alleging. So yeah, she's well known. She's very well known

00:17:14.440 as quite the left wing. So she would be on the further left of the NDP spectrum. 0.99

00:17:19.960 Although we don't know if she's an actual communist, so probably not the most left wing.

00:17:23.720 Oh yeah, good point. She could be pretty far left. 0.98

00:17:27.480 She's right of the communists.

00:17:31.160 She's right of a communist, but probably left of Janice Irwin.

00:17:35.880 Okay. You know, so the Calgary ones are close. We know that. Let's just kind of talk about some of the other kind of bellwethers that are outside. We'll start maybe Sherwood Park. So the donut around Edmonton, very important because remember the NDP has got to round the score so far in Calgary to get to a bare majority that these few ones really do count.

00:18:01.420 So I know there's Strathcona Sherwood Park, which is a big, more sprawling one that's projected slimly to probably remain UCP, but Sherwood Park proper, Jonathan, that one is projected now to narrowly flip to the NDP.

00:18:16.120 Yes. And it's Justin Walker who's running in that area. Someone who's not a high profile name. He wasn't a cabinet minister or anything like that. But it just goes to show that the suburbs do matter with these elections. Like I know that Airdrie, for example, is set to say UCP. But some of the other suburbs in like say Edmonton are leaning more towards the NDP.

00:18:36.840 Yeah. I guess the only one in, there's only two seats at all of Central and Southern Alberta outside of Calgary that the NDP have any shot at right now. That'd be Banff-Cananaskas and Lethbridge East. Banff-Cananaskas is a weird riding. On a map, it looks like it's a big rural one, but it's different, Dave, right?

00:19:01.200 Yeah, it's, you know, you've got the population centers of Banff and Canmore, which are, you know, sort of young hippie-ish people, you know, maybe seasonal workers at the restaurants, at the ski hills and whatnot.

00:19:20.400 So you would think they may tend to be left-wing leaning.

00:19:24.240 And then also in the riding, you've got, you know, the ranches and cowboys.

00:19:29.940 Well, that's the reason it's not solidly in the list.

00:19:32.220 Exactly, exactly.

00:19:33.420 So it's all to play for at the moment.

00:19:35.880 It's a weird running.

00:19:36.620 Yeah, you got like rich oil guys who built nice big places in Spring Bank.

00:19:42.520 You got ranchers and cowboys.

00:19:44.800 And then you got hippies and ski bunnies.

00:19:48.180 It's a weird running.

00:19:49.560 What's a ski bunny?

00:19:51.080 We're going to have to explain that to you off of the year. 1.00

00:19:52.860 It's no wonder we abuse you.

00:19:55.500 Of course, I think the big issue in Lethbridge is health care.

00:19:59.940 and lack of doctors. Yeah, so Lethbridge, the NDP currently holds Lethbridge West with Shannon

00:20:06.820 Phillips. But Lethbridge East, Deputy Premier Nathan Newdorf facing very serious challenge.

00:20:12.500 338 is projecting him that this by thin margin flip to the NDP right now. But I think, you know,

00:20:20.340 that one's still definitely in play. Okay, not a lot of news from the campaign trail itself.

00:20:26.900 You know, and I really hate campaign promises now because it's mostly involving spending money. Some of our seniors are going to hate me for this one because I don't like this campaign promise. 25% off of fees for seniors. Okay. If the government is charging a fee for something, it should be because it costs money to do something like a park fee. And that fee is supposed to cover that, not generate income for government. So Dave, tell us about this promise, the 25% discount on seniors.

00:20:56.900 Yeah, this is the one Premier Smith has just announced while we've been talking.

00:21:01.600 Yeah, they're going to offer 25% senior discount on all government services from park passes, camping spaces, driver's licenses, driver's exams, driver's renewal.

00:21:15.740 If you're old, you get a discount.

00:21:18.020 So, Jonathan, I'm sure you're a big fan of the seniors discount here.

00:21:22.780 You know, I'm sympathetic.

00:21:25.660 I want to pay less for things.

00:21:28.280 But I'm, you know, private businesses are free to give discounts for whatever they want.

00:21:31.940 Seniors, veterans, police officers, whatever you want to do if it's private business.

00:21:36.340 But for government, the idea of fees as opposed to taxes are supposed to theoretically be revenue neutral. 0.98

00:21:42.320 We know if you've ever registered a truck in Alberta, you know that's bullshit. 0.90

00:21:45.500 But it's supposed to be revenue neutral. 0.99

00:21:50.400 And, but you know who's got less money than seniors?

00:21:53.240 I'm sorry seniors are going to hate me, but you know who's got less money than seniors? 0.63

00:21:57.440 Young people who have just started their careers.

00:21:59.820 Guys like Jonathan who are coming out of university and, you know, they're trying to claw their way up.

00:22:04.900 You got a lot of expenses.

00:22:06.620 You don't have a nest egg to live on.

00:22:08.740 Why don't we have like a young workers discount?

00:22:11.060 So, you know, if you're 20 and you want to go to Banff, I guess a provincial park.

00:22:16.480 Yeah, you know who's going to agree with you on this and who's not going to be happy with this?

00:22:20.800 Ski bunnies.

00:22:23.240 Oh, Jonathan, we're going to teach you.

00:22:25.860 We should introduce him to some ski boats.

00:22:27.580 Yes!

00:22:28.540 You know, Banff isn't closed yet.

00:22:29.860 I still haven't been to Banff yet since I moved out here.

00:22:34.540 Okay.

00:22:35.580 We're sending you back out east.

00:22:37.260 You haven't even been anointed with your prairie oysters yet.

00:22:42.260 Yeah, I don't know.

00:22:43.920 What's your take, Dave?

00:22:44.940 Is it smart political?

00:22:46.500 Is it...

00:22:47.060 I'm just sick of spending promises like this that are just niche.

00:22:50.960 Because, like, I don't get any of them.

00:22:52.900 None of these things are for me.

00:22:54.220 No, but if you're a senior, you do get them, and you would like that proposal.

00:22:58.740 Anything to save money.

00:22:59.960 Because there's a lot of seniors, Derek.

00:23:01.760 They're not all wealthy living on nest eggs.

00:23:04.500 There are seniors who have struggled, a hard time getting by.

00:23:07.760 I'm waiting for the hate mail in the comments section and my emails.

00:23:10.600 I know all the seniors are going to hate me for this one.

00:23:12.860 If we're going to have fees for government services, it should be revenue neutral to cover.

00:23:16.860 If you're booking a camping spot in a park, it should be the cost.

00:23:21.460 Yeah, but the cost of all government services isn't revenue neutral, is it?

00:23:25.060 No, then they should cut it by 25% for all of us, for God's sake.

00:23:28.120 Absolutely, I'll agree with that, too.

00:23:29.560 If their promise was, we're going to make the fees for government services revenue neutral,

00:23:34.380 so registering your vehicle is not going to be a tax grab,

00:23:38.140 it's just going to be the cost of making sure we can keep track of your vehicle, great.

00:23:43.100 Ten bucks, that's all it should cost.

00:23:44.620 Yeah, probably. That would be a great promise.

00:23:47.780 But if it's just, oh, no, we swear it's revenue neutral.

00:23:50.580 but for some reason it costs less for any demographic I don't mean to pick on the seniors

00:23:54.560 I'd be almost as angry if it applied to me well almost well this contrast against the Alberta NDP's

00:24:01.260 policy on seniors where they want to expand home care and make the shingles vaccine free and build

00:24:06.520 more seniors housing in individual and collective settings so I think this was just like a response

00:24:11.040 to that well let's be honest most promises for most parties have nothing to do with what's good

00:24:18.840 it's it's to get votes that's what this round ball is okay gentlemen thank you very much for
