Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good day and welcome to the Corey Morgan Show.
00:00:30.560 Man, crazy, busy news times.
00:00:32.700 Lots to go on about.
00:00:34.080 We got another, yeah, Will back there you can see with his hand on his lip.
00:00:37.340 Keep an eye on him, but listen to the show.
00:00:38.840 Let's see if he does anything clip-worthy.
00:00:40.840 You know that we can play at the Christmas party later on this year.
00:00:43.820 He's on the hot seat.
00:00:44.800 The new guys always get to sit behind me and have to be on guard.
00:00:48.160 Be sure to use that comment scroll, guys.
00:00:49.560 The show is live.
00:00:50.400 That's what it's about.
00:00:51.120 Good to see you there.
00:00:51.840 This is my perspective, too.
00:00:53.600 Dave appreciates the shout-out as well.
00:00:55.620 I'll be checking in with him in a minute.
00:00:56.800 And, yeah, even Mike, it's all right if you're here, too, I guess.
00:01:00.580 Might be easy to outdo yours again next year.
00:01:02.860 We're going to have one BC MLA Dallas Brody on in a little while to talk.
00:01:07.380 And, yeah, BC politics provincially have been pretty hot.
00:01:09.600 And, boy, she's an outspoken MLA to see the very least.
00:01:13.020 And lots of news and other things on going.
00:01:15.640 But let's kick things off on the right note and talk about commies, shall we?
00:01:19.820 If there's one thing that can be said about the 1917 Russian Revolution, it's they were honest about it.
00:01:24.840 They made no bones about their pursuits of communism.
00:01:27.720 And, lo and behold, they got it.
00:01:29.140 As violent as they were, the Bolsheviks could be considered somewhat well-meaning
00:01:32.920 as communism hadn't really been tried at a large scale before.
00:01:36.460 They really thought they were going to make the world a better place.
00:01:38.820 Communism, of course, then led to wars, misery, and poverty around the world for decades
00:01:43.580 and a death toll in the range of 100 million people.
00:01:47.040 Now, rational people have concluded that communism is unworkable due to the many examples of its failure.
00:01:52.800 Unfortunately, proponents of communism are rarely rational.
00:01:55.980 I mean, just look at the blue-haired lunatics at leftist demonstrations, banging bongos and rioting.
00:02:00.980 With a world opposed to communism, communists have moved to an incremental approach rather than through revolutions.
00:02:07.680 It certainly hasn't gone anywhere through elections.
00:02:10.140 The kissing cousin of communism is socialism.
00:02:12.900 Ayn Rand described socialism best.
00:02:15.060 There's no difference between communism and socialism except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end.
00:02:20.840 Communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism by vote.
00:02:25.200 It's merely the difference between murder and suicide.
00:02:28.300 Now, socialists, they've dominated academia where the world is based more on ideals and theories
00:02:32.980 than in practical application of policies and systems.
00:02:35.400 And those academics have entrenched socialist ideals into the next generations of citizens, and it shows.
00:02:41.500 Many post-secondary graduates, they shed their misguided notions of viable socialism once they enter the real working world.
00:02:49.060 Unfortunately, due to the growth in governments, hundreds of thousands of young socialists skip over that hard dose of reality, though,
00:02:53.820 that comes with entering the private labor market and jump right into the civil service.
00:02:57.840 There, they can lose all connections with concepts of accountability and financial reality.
00:03:02.300 Supported by the ever more extreme unions, these civil servants have worked to expand the government's reach and people's dependency upon it.
00:03:09.440 Guess what we're working towards.
00:03:10.980 Until now, the march towards socialism in Canada, though, had been slow but inexorable.
00:03:17.180 Yeah, they did that one badly.
00:03:18.560 A policy here, a court ruling there.
00:03:20.560 The GDP per capita in Canada continually is shrunken as of individual rights.
00:03:24.880 Government has gotten ever more intrusive into our lives, and little can be done without the permission of the bureaucratic class.
00:03:32.440 Now, COVID-19, though, that changed everything.
00:03:34.900 Socialists got to see a true working example of just how docile and pliable Canadians have become.
00:03:40.500 Freedoms were stripped for years.
00:03:41.680 People couldn't work, travel, or even meet with each other due to government regulations,
00:03:45.700 and most of those who just accepted it were as passive as Hindu cows.
00:03:49.900 Those who dared to speak up for their rights were pilloried and ostracized as enemies of society through tactics pulled right out of Mao's red book.
00:03:57.140 The state had flexed its muscles, and compliance was immediate for most of the Canadians.
00:04:01.300 Emboldened by this discovery, Canada's communists have decided to go from small steps in socialism
00:04:06.000 and make a large leap towards communism with a universal basic income scheme.
00:04:11.320 Liberal Senator Kim Pate, and she was liberal, she was appointed by Trudeau.
00:04:14.860 So, let's put forward a bill loaded with socialist doublespeak that would have made Stalin proud.
00:04:19.920 They're creating a UBI scheme.
00:04:21.800 They're calling it guaranteed livable income.
00:04:24.360 It's the same thing, but it prevents people from effectively searching out the failed universal basic income experiments,
00:04:29.940 such as the one in Finland.
00:04:31.300 They claim they aren't looking to entrench a UBI scheme into policy.
00:04:34.200 They just want to compel the government to create the framework for the policy.
00:04:37.640 You don't create the framework for such a massive policy without expecting it to come into being.
00:04:42.620 It speaks volumes in how deceptive the approach to this policy has been.
00:04:46.840 They don't want Canadians to realize what it is until it's too late.
00:04:50.480 If UBI schemes were good for the economy, we would have seen a massive jump in it
00:04:53.680 when millions of Canadians became dependent upon CERB during the COVID lockdowns.
00:04:57.560 Instead, the economy stalled, inflation roared, and general prosperity dropped.
00:05:02.500 Any competent economist could see that coming.
00:05:05.160 As said by Hayek, though, if socialists could understand, if they understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists.
00:05:10.200 Now imagine what would happen if over 40 million Canadians got a monthly check for a couple thousand with no questions asked.
00:05:16.380 That's the only way it can be universal, and that's the point, right?
00:05:19.780 The productive would be punished by massive tax increases while a wave of the lazy will sit at home.
00:05:25.020 The economy would be crushed as the industry is shut down due to poor local productivity and hyperinflation.
00:05:30.860 Meanwhile, the government would continue to grow to compensate for the void.
00:05:34.380 Eventually, governments on all levels would surpass the size and economic scope of the private sector,
00:05:39.140 and guess what you end up having?
00:05:40.880 A version of Moscow in 1918, but without the civil war to bring it about.
00:05:45.160 Canadians are instead losing the war one policy and union settlement at a time, and most don't even realize it.
00:05:50.760 The next phase, of course, would be the total collapse of the economy since communism never works.
00:05:56.700 It has a 100% failure rate, guys.
00:05:58.640 Somehow we've got to learn that lesson over and over again.
00:06:00.840 And it's not a manner of communism not having been done right yet.
00:06:04.740 There is no right way to do it.
00:06:06.420 So we have a fresh new UBI scheme, which is going to speed us all into learning this lesson soon.
00:06:11.520 If Pate's bill passes, let's hope that some sense comes in through the Senate, but that's a big ask.
00:06:17.140 All right, Dave, what else is going on?
00:06:19.420 Corey, how are you?
00:06:20.200 There's lots going on.
00:06:21.280 Good.
00:06:21.620 Now, do you think if we brought in this UBI that that would force Derek to give us raises to that, you know, minor standard of living?
00:06:28.720 Well, they would give us a case to try and make for it.
00:06:31.020 I mean, but boy, it would be one of the later phases, I think, if you can get to that.
00:06:35.700 Now, you saw communism firsthand when you went ski jumping in Russia, didn't you?
00:06:40.160 Yeah, I got to go to the Soviet Union back in the late 80s and got to see Moscow.
00:06:45.000 That was during the time of Glasnost and everything.
00:06:46.840 So they were trying to polish everything with Gorbachev back then.
00:06:50.800 But yeah, it was a miserable, miserable place.
00:06:53.420 It was my memories of it was a dark drab.
00:06:56.700 You know, nobody was starving, nobody was unemployed, nobody was homeless.
00:07:02.920 But no, but they were all living in little concrete blocks, all wearing drab colors, very rarely smiling at anything.
00:07:08.300 Well, that might be more of a Russian thing than a communist thing.
00:07:11.760 And of course, eventually it fell apart.
00:07:13.660 Yeah.
00:07:14.500 And how did you finish at the competition?
00:07:16.560 Poorly.
00:07:17.100 Poorly?
00:07:17.500 Yes.
00:07:17.860 Top 10?
00:07:18.500 No.
00:07:18.820 Top 20?
00:07:19.320 No, no.
00:07:19.720 30?
00:07:20.180 40?
00:07:20.980 Eddie the Eagle type territory?
00:07:23.600 My jumping wasn't that good.
00:07:24.920 So, you know, there's this big cop conference going on in Brazil at the moment.
00:07:28.920 Yes.
00:07:29.280 And a whole bunch of Canadian doctors were down there today embarrassing themselves.
00:07:33.280 And there's a great video on the side at the moment of them performing a climate song.
00:07:37.780 And I don't know what they're talking about.
00:07:39.560 I don't know what they mean.
00:07:40.560 But it is must-see TV for these, like, intelligent people to…
00:07:45.200 A climate song.
00:07:46.380 A climate song.
00:07:47.080 A big press conference in Washington today with the head of the RCMP and Pam Bondi, the
00:07:55.880 Attorney General for the United States, about a guy called Ryan Wedding.
00:08:00.720 Now, he was a Canadian Olympic snowboarder, represented the country in 2002 in Salt Lake
00:08:07.000 City.
00:08:07.500 But then his career path changed from snow to cocaine.
00:08:10.720 And according to officials, he is now perhaps the largest cocaine dealer in the world.
00:08:17.680 They say that he's on par with Pablo Escobar and El Chapo and stuff like this.
00:08:23.460 A Canadian guy.
00:08:25.080 And he's in hiding in Mexico.
00:08:27.140 There is now a $15 million reward for his arrest.
00:08:31.800 He's apparently having people killed all over the world.
00:08:34.520 And there were seven arrests in Canada, all involved in the same case, involving a lawyer
00:08:43.220 who apparently resisted arrest.
00:08:45.800 And people in Alberta were arrested in Ontario.
00:08:49.040 So it's a real fascinating case.
00:08:51.340 And our Jeremy Borg is following that one.
00:08:54.860 Well, yeah.
00:08:55.260 I mean, as I said, I posted that on X as well when I saw that story from Jeremy.
00:08:59.260 But I just think that the miniseries on that is going to be fascinating.
00:09:01.720 Oh, it's amazing.
00:09:02.380 Where do you take the path?
00:09:03.540 You know, El Chapo, the others, you can see, well, they grew up in the production countries
00:09:07.420 or the distribution countries and worked their way up.
00:09:09.640 Well, how do you go from Canadian snowboarder to international drug kingpin?
00:09:14.640 I mean, this is a whole new level of...
00:09:16.140 He's bringing in tons of cocaine from South America.
00:09:21.440 But yeah, you're right.
00:09:22.180 I'm sure the screenwriters of Narcos have already put a bid on it.
00:09:26.980 Our Jared Yager has got a story on the BC now scrapping their EV mandates.
00:09:33.940 So they're starting to come to their senses.
00:09:37.200 AUPE Union in Alberta has filed official strike notice for thousands of licensed practical nurses.
00:09:43.820 So they could be hitting the picket line on Saturday.
00:09:47.520 And the Globe and Mail had a report today that Smith and Carney are very, very close to signing an energy MOU.
00:09:57.480 And they said it could be announced as early as the UCP convention up in Edmonton, where you and I will be.
00:10:05.460 And I'll have to deal with the mob of women descending upon you.
00:10:08.360 And Elizabeth May, who I don't know if you've noticed, has been hitting the sauce kind of hard recently, says there's absolutely no evidence the bail system in Canada needs to be reformed.
00:10:20.820 No evidence.
00:10:21.640 Yeah.
00:10:22.400 Aside from those bailed murderers.
00:10:24.800 Yeah.
00:10:25.340 And all the people they murder on bail.
00:10:27.940 No evidence at all, she says.
00:10:29.440 Coming up this afternoon, the AG of Alberta is going to be issuing the report.
00:10:35.920 Do you remember all the AHS and Dynalife labs thing, where lab times went from just a couple days to up to five weeks?
00:10:44.120 He's bringing in a report on that.
00:10:46.520 And it's expected to be somewhat harsh.
00:10:49.820 Well, interesting timing all coming together right now.
00:10:53.340 I mean, there's been a leak as well of apparently, finally, I mean, some reforms are going to be coming in health care.
00:11:00.140 But if it comes on the back of them having potentially mucked up a bunch of reforms a few years ago, it's not going to make their case stronger.
00:11:07.260 No.
00:11:07.540 And you're talking about a good case in which doctors are going to be allowed the choice of whether to practice in both the public system or the private system.
00:11:16.700 Yeah.
00:11:16.920 Currently, they have to pick one or the other and they can't do both.
00:11:19.780 So I think it's a good move.
00:11:21.180 Oh, it's a great move.
00:11:22.000 I mean, hopefully we'll have more discussions on this.
00:11:24.260 I mean, I worry it gets overshadowed over their screwing up past things.
00:11:27.260 I mean, I think it's the French system that does very well or the doctors, they're regulated.
00:11:31.960 They have to do something like 60% in the public system, but then they can go make a few extra bucks on the other side and everybody wins.
00:11:37.100 Yeah.
00:11:37.920 Except the unions, of course.
00:11:39.180 And it's done in several European countries to too much success.
00:11:43.300 So I'm sure the lefties will be arguing all about it, but you got to do something.
00:11:48.200 It just can't continue the way it is.
00:11:49.840 Yeah.
00:11:50.280 And yeah, interesting time to be reporting on politics.
00:11:53.540 Oh, absolutely.
00:11:54.600 All right.
00:11:55.220 Well, I'll let you back into all that.
00:11:57.640 Oh, how are the Seahawks doing so far this year?
00:12:00.160 Well, they're doing quite well, actually.
00:12:01.680 I think their record is seven and three.
00:12:04.740 They'll be on their way to make their playoffs and they don't have a quarterback that's got a busted wrist like your team.
00:12:11.280 Mason Rudolph's coming along.
00:12:13.780 I mean, he looks like a football playing reincarnation of Freddie Mercury.
00:12:18.500 So that should be the thing that turns us into it.
00:12:20.480 That'll get you to the Super Bowl.
00:12:23.060 Well, it goes somewhere anyways.
00:12:25.180 All right.
00:12:26.500 All right, buddy.
00:12:27.280 Thanks, Steve.
00:12:28.000 You bet, too.
00:12:28.600 Take care.
00:12:28.820 We'll talk to you after the show.
00:12:30.700 And yeah, all that going on.
00:12:31.940 Guys, this is the part where I nag how we pay the bills, all that sort of stuff.
00:12:35.360 But it's important, as has been pointed out, share this, like it, all that good stuff.
00:12:40.880 If you're watching on the social media, if you're watching it on TV, well, let your friends know where to find us.
00:12:46.500 And if you haven't subscribed yet, guys, take out a subscription, westernstandard.news slash subscription.
00:12:53.100 It's $10 a month, $100 for a year.
00:12:55.020 This is how we stay independent.
00:12:56.140 This is how Dave has all those reporters as he's pointing from the back there to remind our new guy that, yes, indeed, you are stuck in the background of the show there.
00:13:04.220 And, you know, it's just the way of new media, guys.
00:13:08.440 Keeps us accountable to you and not beholden to the government.
00:13:12.600 So if you've already subscribed, I can never thank you guys enough.
00:13:15.420 I really appreciate it.
00:13:16.500 And if you haven't yet, get on there.
00:13:18.240 And seriously, get a gift subscription for somebody else.
00:13:21.540 I've talked about that before.
00:13:22.520 If you've got that crazy liberal uncle you like to drive crazy, buy him a year's subscription to the Western Standard and email it to him.
00:13:30.060 Announce it.
00:13:30.560 Give him a certificate.
00:13:31.460 It's supper time.
00:13:32.200 Maybe a little common sense will get into him or maybe not, but it'll make for lively discussion.
00:13:37.260 Well, okay, that's enough of the shilling and selling.
00:13:41.780 What else have we got going on there?
00:13:43.800 I'm just to go into it with some of the insanity of politics before we get to Ms. Brody, which I've been looking forward to.
00:13:49.280 Let's talk about the insanity of politics in B.C.
00:13:51.600 The B.C. human rights chief declared that it's colonist to stigmatize drug use.
00:13:58.460 Everything's colonist now, apparently.
00:14:00.100 And we can't stigmatize the person with the needle in their arm or the meth pipe in their mouth in the playground.
00:14:05.520 But heaven help you if you're caught with a cigarette somewhere.
00:14:09.000 That is you're allowed to stigmatize that.
00:14:10.940 You should crack down on that.
00:14:12.140 And you know what?
00:14:13.660 And I had to fight hard to quit smoking.
00:14:16.000 A part of it is actually losing that societal acceptance.
00:14:19.920 You kind of had to hide in the alleyway to have your cigarette.
00:14:22.860 You hung your head in a little bit of shame to have that smoke.
00:14:25.520 Well, it works.
00:14:26.640 It helps.
00:14:27.420 So, yes, there should be a stigma to being a junkie, guys.
00:14:30.600 I'm afraid so.
00:14:31.360 I mean, I want to help them.
00:14:32.200 I want them to get clean.
00:14:33.060 I want them to learn.
00:14:33.740 But let's not pretend there shouldn't be a stigma attached to that.
00:14:36.000 Of course there is.
00:14:37.140 It's a terrible condition to be in.
00:14:38.680 All right.
00:14:39.020 Let's bring in our guest from the 1B.C. party, Dallas Brody, who's been certainly making waves in B.C. for the last little while.
00:14:46.240 Hello, Ms. Brody.
00:14:47.080 Thank you very much for joining us today.
00:14:48.840 Good morning, Corey.
00:14:49.600 Thanks for having me.
00:14:51.220 So I guess I'll begin with the easy subject.
00:14:53.660 You've been outspoken on the Kamloops residential school file, probably the only elected person who's really coming out and saying what I think a lot of people need to say on it.
00:15:05.280 I guess what's compelling you to take that stance rather than just putting your head down and letting it slide by like so many other politicians?
00:15:12.600 Well, I don't know if your audience knows, but that was the original reason why I got expelled from the Conservative Party of B.C.
00:15:19.580 Because I raised the issue of the zero bodies that had been found at Kamloops in connection with my role as Attorney General critic, because there was a lawyer at the Law Society of B.C.
00:15:30.500 who complained that the mandatory course materials involving Aboriginal sensitivity training were still talking about these 215 bodies that had been buried there.
00:15:43.340 And he said, actually, they haven't been confirmed and they're actually only potential burials and we need to correct the materials to add the word potential or probably or I think he said the word potential.
00:15:54.180 And so ultimately, he had to sue the Law Society for defamation because in publications they referred to, made the comment that basically saying that he was a racist.
00:16:04.020 And since that time, I've learned that this story is at the center of so much of what's going on in British Columbia, this claim of these 215 children that were apparently buried there, nothing has ever been found.
00:16:22.640 There are no bodies found.
00:16:24.400 And this, but people continue to refer to this and it is becoming a big problem because people see, well, there are problems on many levels with this, but one of them is that it's being used to continue to push for reconciliation in B.C., truth and reconciliation.
00:16:49.640 And it's involving huge amounts of money that are going across provincially and federally and people are, you know, asking a lot of questions about it and I think justifiably.
00:17:03.080 Well, yeah, I mean, it keeps coming to that a lot of us say it's a truth and reconciliation notion.
00:17:08.760 Well, we have to get to the truth and it's absurd either way we look at the situation, whether there's no remains buried on that site, well, then let's get down there and confirm that and then move on from there.
00:17:18.780 Or if there are remains, if there are, advocates should be calling for that because we need to find out what happened.
00:17:24.360 How did they end up there?
00:17:26.140 And let's return these remains to the families, though, but that's another question.
00:17:29.820 There's no families claiming to have lost anybody at these schools, but we are expected, in fact, almost by force.
00:17:35.060 I mean, there's people demanding your resignation.
00:17:37.100 Some walked out of the legislature the other day because you dared to even talk about this.
00:17:42.540 I appreciate you keeping that alive.
00:17:44.480 Do you think other, hopefully elected officials are going to start to speak up on this again soon?
00:17:48.780 Well, my colleague Tara Armstrong, of course, at 1BC is also speaking up on this.
00:17:54.040 But it takes incredible courage to confront this lie.
00:18:00.600 And I'm not saying that I'm this incredibly courageous person.
00:18:04.520 It's just that I'm a person of principle.
00:18:06.220 And my legal background says that if you're going to accuse people of a mass murder, you need to produce the evidence.
00:18:12.260 Basically, Canada has been tried and convicted of mass murder without any evidence.
00:18:20.400 And that cannot be allowed to stand because it's hanging like a pall over our country and over our province.
00:18:26.520 And it sort of morphs into other things, too.
00:18:30.880 We've got these land acknowledgments that are done everywhere in British Columbia now.
00:18:35.740 At every public gathering, we have land acknowledgments that are saying we're standing on stolen land.
00:18:41.740 And this is having an impact on people's psyches and how they feel about themselves and whether it's really causing problems.
00:18:51.340 And not to mention the economic impact that these things are having.
00:18:55.360 And I can get into that later.
00:18:56.600 But we need the evidence, if there is any.
00:19:01.220 And if there has been a mistake made here, that needs to be acknowledged.
00:19:04.760 And there needs to be a reckoning on this.
00:19:07.020 The ban has been stalling now for four and a half years on this.
00:19:11.080 And let's remember, the ban asked for money from the federal government.
00:19:15.760 First $8 million and another $4.1 million.
00:19:18.040 So for a total of $12.1 million was advanced by the federal government for this ban specifically to dig.
00:19:25.240 But it was still being done.
00:19:28.700 In any other circumstance, I mean, an auditor would follow up and say,
00:19:32.260 Hey, we've got some fraud problems here.
00:19:33.940 You were given money to do something and you didn't actually do it.
00:19:36.880 But when it comes to accountability, it's kind of a different area.
00:19:40.560 The social damage that's being done besides the economic, though.
00:19:43.920 I mean, as you said, there's a combination of things going on.
00:19:47.060 Land acknowledgments, I think it was UBC, that had a bunch of staff members that had in their profile said they were uninvited guests on the land they're living on.
00:19:54.660 We're told that we're colonists, we're settlers, we're uninvited, we're tenants.
00:19:59.800 That's the latest one I've been hearing from some.
00:20:02.260 Meanwhile, you have another segment of the population that's told that they've been victimized, that there was mass murder in the Kamloops School.
00:20:08.740 I mean, this is not bringing about reconciliation.
00:20:10.580 This is splitting two social populations, which could be irrevocably, irrevocably, it could be unfixable soon.
00:20:18.620 It could be unfixable soon.
00:20:20.260 And I have never seen division like this in my life or this kind of anger.
00:20:26.580 People, I think Canadians have good hearts.
00:20:28.720 I think, I know British Columbians do, and they often wanted a better life for the average Indigenous person.
00:20:35.400 And we're hoping that through gestures like this, we were making a difference, but it's not making a difference.
00:20:40.460 Things are worse than ever for Aboriginal people living on reserve in BC.
00:20:45.520 The actual lifespan of Indigenous people in BC has dropped by six years since the NDP took power.
00:20:51.480 Six years, lifespan drop.
00:20:52.920 And the other numbers relating to Indigenous populations, it's not improving, it's getting worse.
00:21:01.500 And so if money were the answer, it would be doing this.
00:21:04.100 But what we're just seeing is, it seems to me, it's like ideology is just being rolled out in this, because they talk about reconciliation.
00:21:11.500 But what I see is the underbelly, the dark underbelly to this is something called decolonization and indigenization.
00:21:19.000 And so it's really not about helping the average person on reserve.
00:21:22.600 It's about telling British Columbia it's illegitimate, that everything we did was illegitimate, that it needs to be reversed, and everything that was colonial needs to be removed.
00:21:34.400 And some people would say, yes, that is what needs to happen.
00:21:37.720 Well, I don't think British Columbians really knew that this is what DRIPA meant when it was brought into BC, which is the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
00:21:47.660 And I think if you did a referendum of people in British Columbia and asked me if they want all of our signs to be changed to Indigenous languages and cities' names changed and so on, they would like to be included in that decision.
00:22:00.800 Now, so I, it's causing a lot of social unrest, and I don't know how we're going to stop this train, but I'm saying this needs to stop.
00:22:12.220 We need to push pause on all of this, and we need to inform the province about what's really going on here and ask British Columbians what they want.
00:22:20.380 Well, and again, if we could be truthful, a lot more things could be settled, and there'd be more trust built.
00:22:27.700 I'll use it as a segue in a sense.
00:22:30.480 I mean, you know, for example, I mean, some things obviously did happen over the period of time in the residential schools.
00:22:35.980 We're not 100% sure what.
00:22:37.500 It sounds like the whole Cameloops thing was probably completely exaggerated and possibly an outright hoax.
00:22:42.260 But that undercuts all of the claims of all the other stuff that might really have happened once you embrace something without evidence.
00:22:50.160 And in Israel, I was there recently.
00:22:54.280 During October 7th, there'd been a misreporting of 40 beheaded babies.
00:22:58.780 Horrible.
00:22:59.460 Sounded awful.
00:23:00.620 Really got a lot of people upset.
00:23:02.460 Turned out it wasn't true.
00:23:03.440 There was a whole lot of horrible things done on October 7th, and I got to see the aftermath of that there.
00:23:07.740 It was awful.
00:23:08.180 But unfortunately, it put that seed of doubt into every other atrocity that was done after that.
00:23:13.840 When you start with an exaggeration, with an untruth, it makes it much more difficult to prove things later on, and the trust gets lost.
00:23:22.960 That's another file you've sort of been on in BC with some of the mistruths and some of the issues with Hamas.
00:23:29.680 And October 7th, you did the March for Peace, I believe it was, or something in Poland.
00:23:35.940 Charlotte Cates, Samadown.
00:23:38.180 I know it's a big leap here, but still, it comes down to the whole settler thing, the mistruth, the shouting down.
00:23:44.220 You've been sort of taking on that, because we've been sort of turning a blind eye to some pretty extremist organizing out here, and you've been speaking up on that.
00:23:51.980 Well, my fundamental belief is that if you're going to come to Canada, you need to leave behind your historical grievances in the country you came from, and come here and live peacefully here in British Columbia.
00:24:01.560 Yes, you can have your freedom of assembly, and we have freedom of speech, yes, but we don't want you using British Columbia as your launching pad for historical grievance that you have from somewhere else, and particularly glorifying terror.
00:24:14.340 However, we've seen what happened with this with the Air India bombing back in 1985.
00:24:18.380 This is the direct result of allowing people to come here and use Canada and BC as a place to execute terrorist plans from British Columbia.
00:24:32.480 So, with the Sammy Dune and Charlotte Cates situation, is we've got a group here, a designated terrorist group called Sammy Dune.
00:24:40.740 Their founder is named Charlotte Cates.
00:24:42.700 She has a home in Vancouver, apparently.
00:24:45.300 And over a year and a half ago, the police arrested her and searched her home and charged her and recommended charges against her.
00:24:55.460 And the Attorney General of British Columbia has been sitting on that.
00:24:59.220 And so, I repeatedly asked the Attorney General, Nikki Sharma, if she would deal with this case, approve the charges, and move ahead on this case.
00:25:09.540 And she has refused or just not done anything.
00:25:14.140 So, in the summer, I did a private prosecution, and my team and I worked together to put together the information required to do that.
00:25:24.200 And we have a court hearing to see if we can get these charges to proceed in mid-December.
00:25:30.480 Great. I mean, it's just a political instinct among many to take kind of a path of least resistance and sticky policies and circumstances.
00:25:38.920 And in both cases, such as, you know, with Cates or with the Indigenous file, they're ones that politicians would rather put their heads down than dive into.
00:25:47.280 And you've been willing to do that, but it's come at a cost.
00:25:49.580 And that's definitely, you know, been a much part of the reason why now there's the 1BC party and there's the Conservative party.
00:25:57.280 Getting on to the British Columbia politics in general, what's the plans with 1BC right now as a smaller party going forward?
00:26:06.860 Are you going to keep sticking it out and maybe trying to grow as you are?
00:26:11.200 Or are there thoughts, if there's a change in leadership, you know, in the Conservative party, that maybe some groups could come together?
00:26:16.840 Because, I mean, we've seen the bad consequence of vote splitting in Alberta.
00:26:20.120 Yeah, vote splitting is always on people's minds, but 1BC, I actually believe that we will form government eventually, if not in the next election.
00:26:31.040 I actually believe we're going to.
00:26:32.280 We have memberships growing at a pace that we never anticipated.
00:26:36.620 We only started our party about four and a half months ago.
00:26:39.420 And the interest and the sign-ups and the donations that are starting to come in are incredible.
00:26:44.480 We are showing principled leadership and people like that.
00:26:50.260 And this is what I have told people.
00:26:53.420 We are not slick, focused group politicians.
00:26:56.020 We are people who are citizens.
00:26:58.200 Tara Armstrong and I are two women.
00:27:01.100 We've both been in business.
00:27:02.420 We're businesswomen.
00:27:03.560 We've had kids.
00:27:04.500 We've been through a lot.
00:27:05.480 We are here to stand up for BC, do the right thing, and be honest with British Columbians about what's going on.
00:27:13.700 And we will not avoid the hot potato issues like so many politicians want to do.
00:27:18.880 It's terrible to watch, actually, how they don't want to deal with the things that everyone's talking about because they're so afraid that they'll suffer in the polls.
00:27:27.500 I won't do that.
00:27:28.740 I'm going to keep raising the issues.
00:27:30.220 And I actually believe this will resonate with the people of BC.
00:27:33.100 And we're doing well.
00:27:34.460 And we are taking on issues that I think need to be taken on.
00:27:38.760 And even if they call me names, you know, I would prefer to have the political debate with them about what I'm talking about rather than trying to shut me down through calling me names or trying to drag me to the human rights tribunal or the mainstream media trying to just pretend I don't exist.
00:27:53.360 You know, they can keep doing that, but that's not going to work.
00:27:58.580 And the issues need to be discussed in an honest and open manner.
00:28:02.760 Yeah, no, you haven't let name-calling or some of those pressures stop you at all.
00:28:06.860 And I really appreciate that.
00:28:08.160 We need more of that in politics in general.
00:28:10.760 There is a disadvantage in having, you know, a limited caucus with the amount of research budget, questions you can get in, things such as that.
00:28:18.700 I don't know what the bar is in BC.
00:28:20.520 In Alberta, you have to have four members before you really start getting decent resources to move ahead.
00:28:25.760 Do you think there might be anything in the works then that might expand the number of people you have in the legislature?
00:28:31.920 Yes, there are conversations going on with people who are still in the Conservative Party.
00:28:36.160 And we've started getting candidates, actually.
00:28:39.040 We're rolling out candidates for one every 10 days or so now.
00:28:43.220 And that's exciting.
00:28:45.320 But we do know people in the Conservative Party, obviously.
00:28:48.440 I have friends there.
00:28:49.240 And I think time will tell.
00:28:53.060 The Conservative Party is unraveling before our eyes.
00:28:56.900 It was fractured from the very beginning because they brought in people from too many different ends of the political spectrum into one party and pretended it was Conservative and it wasn't.
00:29:09.380 So they have Conservatives in there and then really mid to leftists in there.
00:29:15.100 So I think that, by the way, with two people in BC, we have party status.
00:29:21.160 And so Tara and I have benefited from we get a question every day now in question period.
00:29:25.820 We've been introducing bills.
00:29:28.080 We've been punching above our weight, really, for just the two of us.
00:29:31.840 And we work really hard.
00:29:33.420 We're really focused.
00:29:34.320 We start every morning at 8 o'clock and we're here till 7 o'clock every night and we work, work, work.
00:29:38.380 And that's we are dedicated and committed.
00:29:40.900 And I love working with Tara.
00:29:42.920 Tara, she's an amazingly strong woman and we're going to keep doing that.
00:29:46.080 And hopefully through that strength, we attract other people to us.
00:29:49.500 Great.
00:29:49.940 Well, that's good to know.
00:29:50.900 I was just I'm sort of a veteran of the old Wild Rose Party many years ago in Alberta.
00:29:55.020 And we had at one point only one member in the legislature and he would get like one question a week, you know, and barely any budget.
00:30:02.060 So it was very difficult to be noticed.
00:30:04.060 So it's good to know that you guys have a party status there.
00:30:06.820 Before I let you go, then, that means you can table bills, as you said.
00:30:09.580 What legislation have you guys been putting forward?
00:30:11.500 Well, we put it we've put forward several.
00:30:15.020 One of them was the Land Acknowledgement Prohibition Act.
00:30:20.320 One of one of them was the Protection of Private Property Rights Act.
00:30:25.380 The other one was the Recovery of Health Costs from Immigrants Act.
00:30:33.700 I don't know if that's the exact name, but it was basically an act that said, if you come here, we're going you have to post a bond of seventy five hundred dollars to pay for your medical care each year until you become a citizen.
00:30:44.600 And if you don't use it, it'll be returned.
00:30:46.320 But we can't have people coming here using our hospitals and they're not contributing or they haven't been.
00:30:52.440 And we've got our own citizens who can't even get into the emergency room.
00:30:55.480 We also introduced an act, a bill to reduce the tax rates in B.C. by 50 percent for anybody making less than one hundred thousand dollars and by 25 percent for anybody making over one hundred thousand dollars, whether you're an individual or corporation.
00:31:12.220 And we've got another bill being introduced today and that I guess I could announce that.
00:31:21.680 Is that OK to say that out loud?
00:31:24.200 It's about DEI and what it's doing to our public institutions and that DEI stands for diversity, equity and inclusion and all of the other language that's been introduced into our public institutions.
00:31:41.580 That are changing things so dramatically.
00:31:45.120 We we need to get back.
00:31:46.460 We want to introduce people need to be hired to be a professor or teacher, whichever you're at, based on your achievements and the merit and what you've accomplished and your your what you've done and what you can bring.
00:31:57.580 Not based on your sexuality or your or your ethnicity or ancestry.
00:32:06.220 It should be through your achievement and proper get back to a meritocracy.
00:32:09.660 I believe that's the most important thing of all.
00:32:12.420 And then also to start removing language from our things where we're referring to pregnant women as pregnant people and this type of thing and breastfeeding be called chest feeding.
00:32:24.080 I mean, this is what's going on in our medical schools.
00:32:26.120 They're calling you're not allowed to say breastfeeding anymore.
00:32:29.500 You're supposed to say chest feeding.
00:32:31.040 And as a woman, I can't abide.
00:32:33.560 I can't abide this.
00:32:34.740 No, it's an insult to common sense and just to things in general.
00:32:38.740 Well, you guys have got obviously a very good full slate of a conservative agenda that you're pursuing.
00:32:44.220 Looking forward to watching more of it.
00:32:45.880 And you're putting things out there that nobody else will.
00:32:47.800 But I think a lot of people silently and they should stop being silent, really want to see getting on the agenda.
00:32:53.160 So before I let you go, where can people find the 1BC party to inquire more or participate or support or scream at, whatever it may be?
00:33:02.800 Well, please go to 1bc.ca.
00:33:04.940 That's numeral 1bc.ca.
00:33:06.880 You can look at the platform that we've got so far.
00:33:10.060 We're still working on policy, but we've put a lot of thought into what we've done there.
00:33:13.860 And it's a beautiful website.
00:33:15.840 And also, we are having a documentary coming out called Making a Killing, Reconciliation, Genocide and Plunder and the Plunder of Canada.
00:33:25.340 And that is premiering on December 1st.
00:33:28.740 And that is going to be coming out on, we're having a premiere here in the legislature, but it'll be coming out on my X account and also on makingakilling.ca, makingakilling.ca.
00:33:39.460 And that is going to be a very in-depth documentary that we did.
00:33:44.620 We filmed it in the early half of July about what's going on, the Kamloops stuff, all of this, and the whole discussion about reconciliation.
00:33:53.900 And we have some very brave Indigenous men who have come on to tell us exactly what's what as well.
00:33:59.520 So this is a really, this is an all-star story about what's going on in BC.
00:34:05.780 And I have a feeling people will be very interested to watch this documentary.
00:34:11.900 Excellent.
00:34:12.440 Well, I look forward to it coming out and giving it a watch.
00:34:15.180 I know you're preparing for question period, so I'll let you get on to that.
00:34:18.040 And thank you again for joining us today.
00:34:19.740 Thank you very much, Corey.
00:34:21.200 Have a good day, everybody.
00:34:22.860 Thanks.
00:34:23.580 Bye.
00:34:24.000 One more time, folks.
00:34:25.220 That was Dallas Brody with the 1BC Party.
00:34:27.580 As you can hear, isn't it refreshing?
00:34:29.020 I mean, there's somebody who's not sugarcoating things and just diving in.
00:34:31.960 And we need so much more of that.
00:34:34.600 We really do.
00:34:35.780 I mean, the thing that frustrates me when I get that, when I talk to some Alberta elected officials, others, they watch my ex-account.
00:34:42.460 I say, boy, Corey, yes, you said it just right there.
00:34:44.460 I wish I could say that.
00:34:45.260 I wish I could say that.
00:34:46.020 Well, I wish you would say it too.
00:34:48.320 It doesn't look like Ms. Brody's afraid of saying any of those things.
00:34:53.100 Some of those questions I've seen coming up.
00:34:55.680 Let's talk a little bit of politics.
00:34:57.320 It's, you know, that's what we do, right?
00:34:58.760 So, Gregory J. Byrne there saying, how is it a representative democracy if our representatives are allowed to abstain from voting on our behalf?
00:35:06.320 Now, I'm assuming, of course, he's speaking of the budget passing and the budget passed because the number of MPs on the NDP and the conservative side abstained.
00:35:15.560 And that's the way the system works.
00:35:19.060 And it's ugly.
00:35:19.720 It's messy.
00:35:21.480 You want to talk about, you know, things that you don't want to necessarily, you know, see the process of a sausage being made.
00:35:27.460 That budget was going to pass no matter what.
00:35:29.280 I said it before.
00:35:30.320 I said it over and over again.
00:35:31.580 I was confident when I said I'd have been wrong before.
00:35:33.480 But when you drill down to the political situation where the opposition parties are sitting, none of them want to go to an election right now.
00:35:42.560 The NDP is in total disarray.
00:35:44.780 They're broke.
00:35:45.320 They're deeply in debt and low in public support.
00:35:48.760 They've only got seven members of parliament left.
00:35:51.360 They can't afford to go to the polls.
00:35:53.340 So there's no way they were going to trigger an election right now.
00:35:55.600 The conservatives are doing better than the NDP by a long shot, but they're not doing great.
00:36:00.340 And they are not in a position to fight another election yet.
00:36:03.780 Their bigger fear would actually be to give Carney a full majority going into things.
00:36:09.380 Do I like that?
00:36:10.180 No.
00:36:10.820 No, I don't.
00:36:11.560 I don't like the political play.
00:36:14.800 You know, a funny thing to say, I have more respect, for example, with some of the politics, with the floor crossing that that other clown did out in the East Coast.
00:36:25.140 And I don't respect his floor crossing expert.
00:36:27.360 You know, I understand why he's able to, but at least he did the full thing versus Matt Jenneru, who has just stopped doing his job.
00:36:36.440 He, from all appearances, looks like had a failed floor crossing.
00:36:40.320 It blew up and fell apart on him.
00:36:41.660 But rather than be honest about it and just join the liberals, he's just going to sit in the sidelines, collect a check, not show up and ask people not to ask him questions any longer.
00:36:50.280 That's a cowardly approach.
00:36:52.200 That is the ugliness of politics.
00:36:54.680 But even without those two crossings or whatever, the abstention of Jenneru and the other crossing.
00:37:00.940 And then there was Stubbs, who's getting it a lot.
00:37:03.560 She had a surgical procedure prepared for that day.
00:37:06.940 I don't believe it's fake or anything of the sort.
00:37:09.460 It just happened.
00:37:10.360 That worked.
00:37:10.720 But if she hadn't, there would have been a couple other backbenchers.
00:37:13.760 They call it the parliamentary flu.
00:37:15.800 It happens.
00:37:16.620 Other parties have done it before too and everything.
00:37:18.760 Suddenly they, oh boy, geez, I ate some bad clams in the staff room.
00:37:23.300 I've got to step out and they don't return until the vote's passed or, you know, whatever other reason.
00:37:27.600 They're going to find excuses.
00:37:28.620 There's going to be one way or another that there just aren't enough people to get the budget passed.
00:37:33.100 That way the rest of them can vote and say, we totally oppose it.
00:37:35.640 But in reality, they do oppose the budget, but they don't want to go to an election over it.
00:37:41.020 What's it going to take?
00:37:41.920 Well, it's going to take a lot more strength for underneath one of those opposition parties to want to pull the pin.
00:37:51.220 That's the bottom line.
00:37:52.060 The fearful thing is if the opposition parties drop too low in the polls, that Carney might engineer a falling of his government.
00:38:01.340 That's when you'll throw out a bill that just has things in it that just there's no way the parties can support it no matter what.
00:38:07.140 Put a poison pill in there and force themselves to go down on it and then hope that they win a majority on it.
00:38:14.600 Mavro's asking, you know, can you explain how a generator didn't cross?
00:38:17.900 Doesn't make sense.
00:38:18.520 Now he has no job.
00:38:19.660 No, he has a job.
00:38:20.880 That's from Tribe of the Cowardice with it.
00:38:22.540 He's just a conservative MP who just isn't doing anything.
00:38:24.820 He's still drawing a check.
00:38:26.280 He's still there.
00:38:27.420 As in, do they have dirt on him?
00:38:28.460 I don't know.
00:38:29.000 I don't think so.
00:38:29.840 I certainly don't have any inside knowledge on that.
00:38:32.060 And I'm just speculating that it was a failed crossing where he was talked out of it and just asked to sit aside.
00:38:38.380 I could be wrong in that.
00:38:39.500 But there's something that really stunk there.
00:38:42.760 It still stinks.
00:38:44.080 I mean, you're a member of parliament.
00:38:45.880 In fact, if you can't do your job until spring, if you won't show up and cast your votes till spring.
00:38:50.880 So when somebody's talking about it not being proper representative of democracy, if you abstain from votes.
00:38:55.960 It's one thing to strategically abstain from one, but it's another if you just kind of disappear from the scene saying nobody asked me questions anymore and I might resign in spring.
00:39:03.720 But in the meantime, I'm still going to keep my seat and still draw my check.
00:39:08.380 No.
00:39:09.740 No.
00:39:10.440 You're getting paid six figures to tell us what the hell you're doing.
00:39:13.320 You're getting paid a lot of money.
00:39:14.620 You were voted in by people to be represented.
00:39:17.500 Don't give me that want to spend more time with my family BS.
00:39:20.280 We know that's BS.
00:39:21.320 It should be almost illegal for a politician to use that excuse.
00:39:24.720 I want to spend more time with my family.
00:39:27.680 Come on.
00:39:28.360 Get original.
00:39:29.280 Say you had a bad case of hemorrhoids blossom and it's incurable and you just can't sit in a seat any longer.
00:39:34.120 So due to the pain and suffering and staining of that green upholstery, you've decided to move on.
00:39:40.280 Because that's more believable than you wanting to go spend time with your family.
00:39:44.240 Nobody who really feels they have to spend that much time in their family chooses.
00:39:48.200 And it's a choice, the job of being a member of parliament where you're going to be out of town that much time.
00:39:53.820 We saw that with two of the liberals going into the last election when they were down in the toilet in the polls.
00:39:59.360 A couple of them who are ministers now.
00:40:01.460 I don't forget the names now.
00:40:02.500 Fraser was one of them and another one who said they were not going to run again because they wanted to spend more time with their family.
00:40:09.240 They both said that.
00:40:09.900 And then when they rose up in the polls, suddenly they decided, you know what, I don't really like my family that much.
00:40:13.940 And they ran.
00:40:15.380 Why?
00:40:15.820 Because they were lying.
00:40:16.740 And they don't like their family that much, obviously.
00:40:19.600 If it was that important and you can change your mind on a whim.
00:40:23.660 Just the BS.
00:40:25.580 God.
00:40:26.360 That's what I was talking about with Dallas Brody.
00:40:28.560 At least, whether you like or don't like where she's coming from, at least she's being outright honest.
00:40:32.640 Not taking the most politically expedient way with things.
00:40:36.300 And not saying she's going to spend more time with family.
00:40:41.660 Alberta's in for a lot of crazy politics we're watching.
00:40:43.940 I mean, that's not the new.
00:40:45.280 So we're going to see a lot of play.
00:40:46.840 We're going to see a lot of indignance.
00:40:49.740 So, yeah, the timing of things, right?
00:40:52.340 The report on what does look like they really kind of dropped the ball and messed up when it came to doing things with clinics and diagnostics, which really needed work.
00:41:00.640 And they messed it up.
00:41:02.080 But they still need to work on these reforms.
00:41:03.800 Now, the plan, I guess, got leaked to where they're going to allow doctors to do more private work while remaining in the public system as well.
00:41:12.720 Has allowed Nenshi to jump up and down and put his clothes, his eyes, look in the air and tell us all how it's going to force everybody to have to pay out of their pocket to see a doctor, which is an absolute 100% lie.
00:41:21.720 But that's the lie that the left uses over and over and over again as they protect our over-unionized, underperforming, expensive health care system.
00:41:30.420 This status quo, that's to be blunt, the shits.
00:41:33.540 It, when measured against world health systems, stinks.
00:41:39.260 And it's falling.
00:41:40.160 And, of course, Nenshi came out and said she wants to Americanize it.
00:41:43.100 You know, you want to get my back up fast.
00:41:44.580 Yeah, use that lazy term against all reforms of our system.
00:41:50.260 I don't care about the American system.
00:41:52.360 I could not care less.
00:41:54.920 Let's look at the French system.
00:41:56.080 Let's look at the Singapore.
00:41:58.400 Let's look at Australia.
00:41:59.700 Let's look at Ireland.
00:42:00.940 Let's look at the Netherlands.
00:42:02.520 You know what they all have that we don't?
00:42:05.540 They allow private provision of care for profit.
00:42:10.220 And we've got to look at them.
00:42:11.800 It's all, they all have universal plans too.
00:42:14.220 So nobody is turned away from care because they don't have enough money.
00:42:18.260 So let's end that BS of it being just American and Canada and pretending as if there's only two systems in the world.
00:42:26.340 There aren't.
00:42:27.240 There's dozens and dozens of them and a whole whack of them are surpassing ours.
00:42:30.480 And we're fools not to look at the ones that are doing the best and say, you know, and say, what can we do that they're doing to make our system better?
00:42:38.440 Instead, we keep pretending that Canada's crap system where thousands of people, and they really are, they're dying on waiting lists.
00:42:46.160 Yes, it's free to die on a waiting list.
00:42:48.420 Is it really worth it then?
00:42:50.260 We're so stubbornly attached to this while the lists grow and grow and people leave the country to get care.
00:42:56.940 Not rich people, desperate people.
00:42:58.760 People remortgage their homes to go outside and jump the line to try and survive and get care.
00:43:06.100 Not rich people.
00:43:07.200 They borrow, they beg, they get money from family members because they're suffering or they're dying.
00:43:11.340 And guess what happens with that?
00:43:12.360 Well, that's money leaving here.
00:43:14.060 That's money going to a competing doctor, hospital, clinic, somewhere else that we could have kept here if we'd reform our system.
00:43:21.100 But no, Nenshi's going to grandstand and fight all reform.
00:43:27.460 But remember, when you dig, when you scratch, what do you get every time?
00:43:31.360 Not just the communists, unions.
00:43:33.260 It's the frigging unions.
00:43:35.820 Because private centers aren't unionized.
00:43:39.280 They have merit-based systems.
00:43:41.200 Yes, the nurses get highly paid because they're good.
00:43:44.460 And the crappy nurses get fired.
00:43:47.160 Here, we have this unionized system.
00:43:49.600 And let's quit pretending every nurse is good.
00:43:52.880 Some of them stink.
00:43:54.320 But we can't get them out.
00:43:56.060 We pay them loads because the union protects them.
00:43:58.460 And who suffers?
00:43:59.140 The patients.
00:43:59.820 And yes, we got a brand new spanking strike coming up yet again in Alberta.
00:44:04.420 It looks like the LPNs are going on strike, which is licensed practical nurses.
00:44:09.700 Not to be mistaken for the RNs, which are registered nurses.
00:44:13.140 They have their own union.
00:44:14.520 And it's funny how these unions pit against each other.
00:44:16.680 So the LPNs are howling, saying we need to be paid nearly as much as RNs because we do just about everything RNs do.
00:44:23.180 And if they get that raise, then the RNs will all get upset.
00:44:26.720 So these LPNs are below us, yet they're making almost the same money as us.
00:44:30.000 We're going to go on strike unless we get more raises, so we're much above the LPNs.
00:44:34.040 See where this goes?
00:44:35.880 Meanwhile, we run out of money and die waiting for care.
00:44:39.660 We lay in hospital beds, in the hallways, and die waiting for diagnostics.
00:44:46.100 Or go bankrupt because, yes, people do go broke looking for health care.
00:44:50.360 It's just they have to leave the country to do it because the waiting list's got them.
00:44:54.240 We need real discussions.
00:44:55.260 We need real courage.
00:44:57.040 We need real MLAs like Brody and like Premier Smith that Lisa's been willing to hopefully stand her ground and do some real reforms on this system that people have turned into a sacred cow because it's failing.
00:45:08.600 It's failing bad and we can't afford it.
00:45:11.040 And if you really want health care as your top issue, then we've got to bloody well fix it.
00:45:14.940 All right.
00:45:15.340 I'm out of time.
00:45:16.200 I've ranted my head off.
