00:00:00.000 Good day and
00:00:29.860 welcome to the cory morgan show man crazy busy news times lost to go on about we got another uh

00:00:44.660 this year he's on the hot seat the new guys always get to sit behind me and have to be on guard be
00:00:49.860 sure to use that comment scroll guys the show is live that's what it's about good to see you there
00:00:53.380 this is my perspective too dave appreciates the shout out as well i'll be checking in with him
00:00:58.100 him in a minute. And yeah, even Mike, it's all right if you're here too, I guess. Might be
00:01:02.580 easy to outdo yours again next year. We're going to have one BC MLA Dallas Brody on in a little
00:01:08.380 while to talk. And yeah, BC politics provincially have been pretty hot. And boy, she's an outspoken
00:01:12.880 MLA to say the very least. And lots of news and other things ongoing. But let's kick things off
00:01:18.580 on the right note and talk about commies, shall we? If there's one thing that can be said about
00:01:22.880 the 1917 Russian Revolution. They were honest about it. They made no bones about their pursuits
00:01:28.540 of communism, and lo and behold, they got it. As violent as they were, the Bolsheviks could be
00:01:32.940 considered somewhat well-meaning, as communism, well, hadn't really been tried at a large scale
00:01:37.320 before. They really thought they were going to make the world a better place. Communism, of course,
00:01:41.920 then led to wars, misery, and poverty around the world for decades, and a death toll in the range
00:01:47.160 of 100 million people. Now, rational people have concluded that communism is unworkable due to the
00:01:52.060 many examples of its failure. Unfortunately, proponents of communism are rarely rational.
00:01:57.660 I mean, just look at the blue-haired lunatics that left just demonstrations banging bongos and
00:02:02.060 rioting. With a world opposed to communism, communists have moved to an incremental approach
00:02:07.780 rather than through revolutions. It certainly hasn't gone anywhere through elections. The kissing
00:02:12.200 cousin of communism is socialism. Ayn Rand described socialism best. There's no difference
00:02:17.560 between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end.
00:02:22.520 Communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism by vote. It's merely the difference
00:02:27.680 between murder and suicide. Now, socialists, they've dominated academia where the world is
00:02:33.200 based more on ideals and theories than in practical application of policies and systems,
00:02:37.320 and those academics have entrenched socialist ideals into the next generations of citizens,
00:02:41.620 and it shows. Many post-secondary graduates, they shed their misguided notions of viable
00:02:47.280 socialism once they enter the real working world. Unfortunately, due to the growth in governments,
00:02:52.280 hundreds of thousands of young socialists skip over that hard dose of reality, though, that comes
00:02:55.820 with entering the private labor market and jump right into the civil service. There, they can
00:03:00.120 lose all connections with concepts of accountability and financial reality. Supported by the ever more
00:03:05.780 extreme unions, these civil servants have worked to expand the government's reach and people's
00:03:09.440 dependency upon it. Guess what we're working towards. Until now, the march towards socialism
00:03:14.320 in Canada, though, had been slow, but inexorable. Yeah, I did that one badly. A policy here,
00:03:21.160 a court ruling there. The GDP per capita in Canada continually is shrunken as of individual
00:03:26.140 rights. Government has gotten ever more intrusive into our lives, and little can be done without
00:03:31.240 the permission of the bureaucratic class. Now, COVID-19, though, that changed everything.
00:03:36.560 Socialists got to see a true working example of just how docile and pliable Canadians have become.
00:03:42.180 Freedoms were stripped for years.
00:03:43.380 People couldn't work, travel, or even meet with each other due to government regulations,
00:03:47.600 and most of those who just accepted it were as passive as Hindu cows.
00:03:51.580 Those who dared to speak up for their rights were pilloried and ostracized as enemies of society
00:03:55.980 through tactics pulled right out of Mao's Red Book.
00:03:58.780 The state had flexed its muscles, and compliance was immediate for most of the Canadians.
00:04:02.960 Emboldened by this discovery, Canada's communists have decided to go from small steps in socialism
00:04:07.680 and make a large leap towards communism with a universal basic income scheme.
00:04:12.920 Liberal Senator Kim Pate, and she was liberal, she was appointed by Trudeau,
00:04:17.320 has put forward a bill loaded with socialist doublespeak that would have made Stalin proud.
00:04:21.600 They aren't creating a UBI scheme, they're calling it guaranteed livable income.
00:04:25.960 It's the same thing, but it prevents people from effectively searching out the failed universal basic income experiments,
00:04:31.580 such as the one in Finland. They claim they aren't looking to entrench a UBI scheme into policy,
00:04:35.820 they just want to compel the government to create the framework for the policy. You don't create the
00:04:40.540 framework for such a massive policy without expecting it to come into being. It speaks
00:04:45.260 volumes in how deceptive the approach to this policy has been. They don't want Canadians to
00:04:49.800 realize what it is until it's too late. If UBI schemes were good for the economy, we would have
00:04:54.120 seen a massive jump in it when millions of Canadians became dependent upon CERB during the
00:04:58.340 COVID lockdowns. Instead, the economy stalled, inflation roared, and general prosperity dropped.
00:05:04.200 Any competent economist could see that coming. As said by Hayek, though, if socialists could
00:05:09.040 understood, if they understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists. Now imagine what would
00:05:13.120 happen if over 40 million Canadians got a monthly check for a couple thousand with no questions
00:05:17.380 asked. That's the only way it can be universal, and that's the point, right? The productive would
00:05:22.560 be punished by massive tax increases while a wave of the lazy will sit at home. The economy would be
00:05:27.540 crushed as the industry shut down due to poor local productivity and hyperinflation. Meanwhile,
00:05:32.980 the government would continue to grow to compensate for the void. Eventually, governments on all
00:05:37.680 levels would surpass the size and economic scope of the private sector, and guess what you end up
00:05:41.860 having? A version of Moscow in 1918, but without the civil war to bring it about. Canadians are
00:05:47.420 instead losing the war, one policy and union settlement at a time, and most don't even realize
00:05:51.800 it. The next phase, of course, would be the total collapse of the economy since communism
00:05:56.600 never works. It has a 100% failure rate, guys. Somehow we've got to learn that lesson over and
00:06:02.020 over again. It's not a manner of communism not having been done right yet. There is no right
00:06:07.200 way to do it. So we have a fresh new UBI scheme, which is going to speed us all into learning this
00:06:12.180 lesson soon. If Pate's bill passes, let's hope that some sense comes in through the Senate,
00:06:16.660 but that's a big ask. All right, Dave, what else is going on?
00:06:21.080 Corey, how are you? There's lots going on. Good.
00:06:23.320 now do you think if we brought in this ubi that that would force derrick to give us raises to that
00:06:28.680 you know the minor standard of living well they would give us a case to try and make for it i mean
00:06:33.160 uh but boy yeah it would be one of the later uh phases i think before we get to that now you saw
00:06:37.960 communism firsthand when you went ski jumping in russia and yeah i got to go to the soviet union
00:06:43.800 back in the late 80s and got to see moscow that was during the time of glasnost and everything
00:06:48.440 So they were trying to polish everything with Gorbachev back then.
00:06:52.500 But yeah, it was a miserable, miserable place.
00:06:55.100 It was my memories of it was a dark drab.
00:06:58.600 You know, nobody was starving.
00:07:00.520 Nobody was unemployed.
00:07:03.600 Nobody was homeless.
00:07:04.940 But no, they were all living in little concrete blocks, all wearing drab colors, very rarely smiling at anything.
00:07:10.000 That might be more of a Russian thing than a communist thing.
00:07:13.420 And of course, eventually it fell apart.
00:07:15.360 Yeah.
00:07:16.160 And how did you finish at the competition?
00:07:17.980 poorly poorly yes top 10 no top 20 no no 30 this was eddie the eagle type territory my jumping
00:07:26.020 wasn't that good so you know there's this big cop conference going on in brazil at the moment
00:07:30.380 yes and a whole bunch of canadian doctors were down there today embarrassing themselves
00:07:34.300 and there's a great video on the side at the moment of them performing a climate song
00:07:38.960 that i don't know what they're talking about i don't know what they mean but
00:07:42.420 But it is must-see TV for these intelligent people to...
00:07:46.860 A climate zone.
00:07:48.080 A climate zone.
00:07:51.880 Big press conference in Washington today with the head of the RCMP and Pam Bondi,
00:07:57.440 the Attorney General for the United States, about a guy called Ryan Wedding.
00:08:02.380 Now, he was a Canadian Olympic snowboarder, represented the country in 2002 in Salt Lake City.
00:08:08.980 But then his career path changed from snow to cocaine.
00:08:13.300 And according to officials, he is now perhaps the largest cocaine dealer in the world.
00:08:19.140 They say that he's on par with Pablo Escobar and El Chapo and stuff like this.
00:08:25.160 A Canadian guy.
00:08:26.760 And he's in hiding in Mexico.
00:08:28.840 There is now a $15 million reward for his arrest.
00:08:33.480 He's apparently having people killed all over the world.
00:08:36.220 And there were seven arrests in Canada, all involved in the same case, involving a lawyer who apparently resisted arrest.
00:08:47.500 And people in Alberta were arrested in Ontario.
00:08:50.740 So it's a real fascinating case.
00:08:53.040 And our Jeremy Borg is following that one.
00:08:56.460 Well, yeah.
00:08:57.100 I mean, as I said, I posted that on X as well when I saw that story from Jeremy.
00:09:00.940 But I just think that the miniseries on that is going to be fast.
00:09:03.400 Oh, it's amazing.
00:09:04.100 Where do you take the path?
00:09:05.060 you know el chapo the others you can see well they grew up in the production countries or the
00:09:09.220 distribution countries and worked their way up how do you go from canadian snowboarder
00:09:14.100 to uh international drug kingpin i mean this is a whole new level of it's running in tons of uh
00:09:19.380 cocaine from uh from uh south america but yeah you're right it's i'm sure the uh the screenwriters
00:09:25.620 of narcos have already put a uh put a bid on it um our jared yager has got a story on the bc now
00:09:33.220 scrapping their ev mandates so they're starting to to come to their senses uh aupe union in alberta
00:09:40.660 has filed official strike notice for thousands of licensed practical nurses so they could be
00:09:46.660 hitting the picket line on on saturday and the goldman mail had a report today that
00:09:53.060 smith and carney are very very close to signing an energy uh mou um and they said it could be
00:10:01.620 announced as early as the ucp convention up in edmonton where you and i will be and i'll have
00:10:07.540 to deal with the mob of women descending upon you and uh elizabeth may who i don't know if you've
00:10:13.220 noticed has been hitting the sauce kind of hard recently uh says there's absolutely no evidence
00:10:19.140 the bail system in canada needs to be reformed no evidence yeah aside from those bailed murderers
00:10:26.420 Yeah, and all the people they murder on bail. No evidence at all, she says.
00:10:32.380 Coming up this afternoon, the AG of Alberta is going to be issuing the report.
00:10:37.600 Do you remember all the AHS and DynaLife labs thing where lab times went from just a couple days to up to five weeks?
00:10:45.800 He's bringing in a report on that and it's expected to be somewhat harsh.
00:10:51.500 Well, interesting timing all coming together right now.
00:10:55.020 I mean, there's been a leak as well of apparently, finally, I mean, some reforms are going to be coming in health care.
00:11:01.840 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.
00:11:08.960 No, 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.
00:11:18.440 Currently, they have to pick one or the other, and they can't do both.
00:11:21.480 So I think it's a good move.
00:11:22.880 Oh, it's a great move.
00:11:23.700 I mean, hopefully we'll have more discussions on this.
00:11:25.940 I mean, I worry it gets overshadowed over their past things.
00:11:28.940 I mean, I think it's the French system that does very well or the doctors, they're regulated.
00:11:33.640 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.
00:11:38.780 Yeah, except the unions, of course.
00:11:40.880 And it's done in several European countries to too much success.
00:11:45.000 So I'm sure the lefties will be arguing all about it, but you got to do something.
00:11:49.880 It just can't continue the way it is.
00:11:51.540 Yeah. And yeah, interesting time to be reporting on politics.
00:11:55.320 Oh, absolutely.
00:11:56.280 All right. Well, I'll let you back into all that.
00:11:59.320 Oh, how are the Seahawks doing so far this year?
00:12:01.980 Well, they're doing quite well, actually.
00:12:03.380 I think their record is seven and three.
00:12:06.420 They'll be on their way to make their playoffs.
00:12:09.040 And they don't have a quarterback that's got a busted wrist like your team.
00:12:13.900 Mason Rudolph's coming along.
00:12:15.440 I mean, he looks like a football playing reincarnation of Freddie Mercury.
00:12:19.480 so that could be the thing that
00:12:21.840 that'll get you to the Super Bowl
00:12:24.600 well it goes somewhere anyways
00:12:26.200 alright
00:12:27.240 thanks Steve
00:12:29.520 we will talk to you after the show
00:12:31.560 and yeah all that going on guys
00:12:33.920 this is the part where I nag how we pay the bills
00:12:36.080 all that sort of stuff but it's important
00:12:37.720 as has been pointed out share this
00:12:40.280 like it all that good
00:12:42.340 stuff if you're watching it on social media if you're watching it on
00:12:44.380 TV well let your
00:12:46.380 friends know where to find us and
00:12:48.360 if you haven't subscribed yet, guys, take out a subscription, westernstandard.news slash
00:12:53.760 subscription. It's $10 a month, $100 for a year. This is how we stay independent. This is how Dave
00:12:58.420 has all those reporters as he's pointing from the back there to remind our new guy that yes,
00:13:03.060 indeed, you are stuck in the background of the show there. And, you know, it's just the way of
00:13:09.320 new media, guys, keeps us accountable to you and not beholden to the government. So if you've
00:13:14.580 already subscribed, I can never thank you guys enough. I really appreciate it. And if you haven't
00:13:18.680 yet, get on there. And seriously, get a gift subscription for somebody else. I've talked
00:13:23.580 about that before. If you've got that crazy liberal uncle you like to drive crazy, buy him
00:13:28.240 a year subscription to the Western Standard and email it to him. Announce it. Give him a certificate
00:13:32.940 at supper time. Maybe a little common sense will get into him or maybe not, but it'll make for
00:13:37.560 lively discussion. Well, okay. That's enough of the shilling and selling. What else have we got?
00:13:44.580 going on there. I'm just, uh, just to go into it with some of the insanity of politics before we
00:13:48.760 get to Ms. Brody, which I've been looking forward to. Let's talk about the insanity of politics in
00:13:52.860 BC. The BC human rights chief declared that it's colonist to stigmatize drug use. Everything's
00:14:00.520 colonist now, apparently. And we can't stigmatize the person with the needle in their arm or the
00:14:05.520 meth pipe in their mouth and the playground. But heaven help you if you're caught with a cigarette
00:14:09.960 somewhere. That is, you're allowed to stigmatize that. You should crack down on that. And you
00:14:14.020 know what? And I had to fight hard to quit smoking. A part of it is actually losing that
00:14:20.500 societal acceptance. You kind of had to hide in the alleyway to have your cigarette. You hung
00:14:24.800 your head in a little bit of shame to have that smoke. Well, it works. It helps. So yes, there
00:14:29.720 should be a stigma to being a junkie, guys. I'm afraid so. I mean, I want to help them. I want
00:14:34.100 them to get clean. I want them to learn. But let's not pretend there shouldn't be a stigma attached
00:14:37.340 to that. Of course there is. It's a terrible condition to be in. All right, let's bring in
00:14:41.440 our guest from the 1BC party, Dallas Brody, who's been certainly making waves in BC for the last
00:14:47.400 little while. Hello, Ms. Brody. Thank you very much for joining us today. Good morning, Corey.
00:14:51.300 Thanks for having me. So I guess I'll begin with the easy subject. You've been outspoken on the
00:14:58.020 Kamloops residential school file, probably the only elected person who's really coming out and
00:15:03.500 saying what I think a lot of people need to say on it. I guess what's compelling you to take that
00:15:08.960 stance rather than just putting your head down and letting it slide by like so many other
00:15:12.160 politicians? Well, I don't know if your audience knows, but that was the original reason why I got
00:15:18.220 expelled from the Conservative Party of BC because I raised the issue of the zero bodies that had
00:15:24.840 been found at Kamloops in connection with my role as Attorney General Critic because there was a
00:15:30.360 lawyer at the Law Society of BC who complained that the mandatory course materials involving
00:15:36.020 aboriginal sensitivity training were still talking about these 215 bodies that had been buried there
00:15:45.020 and he said actually they haven't been confirmed and they're actually only potential burials and
00:15:50.060 we need to correct the materials to add the word potential or probably or i think he said the word
00:15:54.500 potential um and so ultimately he had to sue the law society for defamation because in publications
00:16:00.220 they referred to made the comment that basically saying that he was a racist and since that's time
00:16:07.440 I've learned that there this this story is at the center of so much of what's going on in British
00:16:13.500 Columbia this claim of these 215 children that were apparently buried there nothing has ever
00:16:23.400 been found there there are no bodies found and this but people continue to refer to this and
00:16:31.220 it is becoming a big problem because people see well there there are problems on many levels with
00:16:39.640 this but one of them is that uh it's if it's being used to continue to push for uh reconciliation in
00:16:49.860 truth and reconciliation and it's involving huge amounts of money that are going across provincially
00:16:56.660 and federally and people are you know asking a lot of questions about it and i think justifiably
00:17:04.020 well yeah and i mean it keeps coming to that a lot of us say it's a truth and reconciliation
00:17:08.980 notion well we have to get to the truth and and it's absurd either way we look at the situation
00:17:15.400 whether there's no remains buried on that site well then let's get down there and confirm that
00:17:19.660 and then move on from there or if there are remains if there are advocates should be calling
00:17:24.220 for that because we need to find out what happened how did they end up there and let's return these
00:17:29.100 remains to the families though that's another question there's no families claiming to have
00:17:32.760 lost anybody at these schools but we are expected in fact almost by force I mean there's people
00:17:37.200 demanding your resignation some walked out of the legislature the other day because you dared to even
00:17:42.660 talk about this I appreciate you keeping that alive do you think other hopefully elected
00:17:48.120 officials are going to start to speak up on this again soon well my colleague tara armstrong of
00:17:52.600 course at 1bc is also speaking up on this and uh but it takes incredible courage to confront
00:18:00.600 this lie and i'm not saying that i'm this incredibly courageous person it's just that
00:18:06.700 i'm a person of principle and my legal background says that if you're going to accuse people of a
00:18:10.920 mass murder, you need to produce the evidence. Basically, Canada has been tried and convicted
00:18:18.320 of mass murder without any evidence. And that cannot be allowed to stand because it's hanging
00:18:25.060 like a pall over our country and over our province. And it sort of morphs into other
00:18:31.980 things too. We've got these land acknowledgements that are done everywhere in British Columbia now
00:18:37.360 at every public gathering, we have land acknowledgements that are saying we're standing
00:18:42.200 on stolen land. And this is having an impact on people's psyches and how they feel about
00:18:48.920 themselves and whether it's really causing problems. And not to mention the economic
00:18:55.360 impact that these things are having, and I can get into that later, but we need the evidence
00:19:00.940 if there is any. And if there has been a mistake made here, that needs to be acknowledged and
00:19:06.560 needs to be a reckoning on this the band has been stalling now for four and a half years on this
00:19:12.640 and let's remember the band asked for money from the federal government first eight million and
00:19:18.240 another 4.1 million so for a total of 12.1 million dollars was advanced by the federal government
00:19:24.800 for this band specifically to dig yeah done in any other circumstance i mean an auditor would
00:19:32.960 follow up and say, Hey, we've, we've got some fraud problems here. You were given money to do
00:19:36.680 something and you didn't actually do it. But when it comes to accountability, that's, it's kind of
00:19:41.040 a different area. The social damage that's being done besides the economic though, I mean, as you
00:19:47.020 said, there's a combination of things going on land acknowledgements. I think it was UBC that had a
00:19:51.380 bunch of staff members that had in their profile said they were uninvited guests on the land they're
00:19:55.660 living on. We're told that we're colonists, we're settlers, we're uninvited, we're tenants. That's
00:20:01.680 latest one I've been hearing from some. Meanwhile, you have another segment of the population that's
00:20:06.400 told that they've been victimized, that there was mass murder in the Kamloops school. I mean,
00:20:10.560 this is not bringing about reconciliation. This is splitting two social populations,
00:20:15.600 which could be irrevocable. It could be unfixable soon.
00:20:20.560 It could be unfixable soon. And I have never seen division like this
00:20:24.320 in my life or this kind of anger. People, I think Canadians have good hearts. I think,
00:20:30.880 i know british colombians do and they often wanted a better uh life for the average indigenous
00:20:36.640 person and we're hoping that through gestures like this we were making a difference but it's
00:20:40.640 not making a difference things are worse than ever for uh aboriginal people living on reserve in bc
00:20:47.280 the actual lifespan of um indigenous people in bc has dropped by six years since the ndp took power
00:20:53.040 six years lifespan drop and the other um numbers um relating to indigenous populations it's not
00:21:00.880 it's not improving it's getting worse and so if money were the answer it would be doing this but
00:21:05.840 what we're just seeing is it seems to me it's like ideology is just being rolled out in this
00:21:11.760 because they talk about reconciliation but what i see is the underbelly the dark underbelly to
00:21:16.080 this is something called decolonization and indigenization and so it's really not about
00:21:22.720 helping the average person on reserve it's about telling british columbia it's illegitimate that
00:21:28.480 everything we did was illegitimate that it needs to be reversed and everything that was colonial
00:21:34.320 needs to be removed and some people would say yes that is what needs to happen well i don't think
00:21:40.000 british columbians really knew that this is what drippa meant when it was brought into bc
00:21:44.880 which is the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and I think if you
00:21:50.480 did a referendum of people in British Columbia and asked me if they want
00:21:53.480 the full all of our signs to be changed to Indigenous languages and cities names changed
00:21:59.760 and so on they would like to be included in that decision. Now I so I it's causing a lot
00:22:06.760 of social unrest and I don't know how we're going to stop this train but I'm saying this needs to
00:22:13.280 stop. We need to push pause on all of this and we need to inform the province about what's really
00:22:19.600 going on here and ask British Columbians what they want. Well, and again, if we could be truthful,
00:22:25.280 a lot more things could be settled and there'd be more trust built. I'll use it as a segue in a
00:22:31.720 sense. I mean, you know, for example, I mean, things, some things obviously did happen over
00:22:35.820 the period of time in the residential schools. We're not a hundred percent sure what. It sounds
00:22:39.500 like the whole Kamaloops thing was probably completely exaggerated and possibly an outright
00:22:43.520 hoax. But that undercuts all of the claims of all the other stuff that might really have happened
00:22:49.020 once you embrace something without evidence. And in Israel, I was there recently. During October
00:22:56.640 7th, there'd been a misreporting of 40 beheaded babies. Horrible. Sounded awful. Really got a lot
00:23:03.020 of people upset. Turned out it wasn't true. There was a whole lot of horrible things done on October
00:23:07.200 7th and I got to see the aftermath of that there. It was awful, but unfortunately it put that seed
00:23:12.080 of doubt into every other atrocity that was done after that. When you start with an exaggeration,
00:23:17.360 with an untruth, it makes it much more difficult to prove things later on and the trust gets lost.
00:23:24.640 That's another file you've sort of been on in BC with some of the mistruths and some of the issues
00:23:29.520 with Hamas and October 7th, you did the march for peace I believe it was or something in Poland.
00:23:37.200 And Charlotte Cates, Samadown, I know it's a big leap here, but still it comes down to the whole settler thing, the mistruth, the shouting down.
00:23:45.900 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.
00:23:51.600 And you've been speaking up on that.
00:23:53.840 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.
00:24:03.260 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 a historical grievance that you have from somewhere else and particularly glorifying terror.
00:24:16.700 We've seen what happened with this
00:24:17.980 with the Air India bombing back in 1985.
00:24:21.000 This is the direct result of allowing people to come here
00:24:23.940 and use Canada and BC as a place
00:24:27.100 to execute terrorist plans from British Columbia.
00:24:34.760 So with the Sami Doon and Charlotte Kate situation
00:24:38.180 is we've got a group here,
00:24:40.100 a designated terrorist group called Sami Doon.
00:24:42.440 Their founder is named Charlotte Kate.
00:24:44.200 She has a home in Vancouver, apparently. And over a year and a half ago, the police arrested her
00:24:51.400 and searched her home and charged her and recommended charges against her. And the
00:24:57.800 Attorney General of British Columbia has been sitting on that. And so I repeatedly asked the
00:25:03.640 Attorney General, Nikki Sharma, if she would deal with this case, approve the charges and move ahead
00:25:09.800 on this case uh and she has refused or just not done anything so in the summer i uh did a private
00:25:19.560 prosecution and my team and i worked together to put together the the information required to do
00:25:25.560 that and we have a court hearing to see if we can get these charges to proceed in mid-december great
00:25:32.520 i mean it's it's just a political instinct among many to take kind of a path or least resistance
00:25:36.920 and sticky uh uh policies and circumstances and in both cases such as uh you know with kate's or with
00:25:44.200 the indigenous file they're ones that politicians would rather put their heads down than then
00:25:48.120 dive into and you've been willing to do that but it's come at a cost and that's definitely uh you
00:25:53.720 know been a much part of the reason why now there's the the one bc party and there's the
00:25:57.720 conservative party uh getting on to the british columbia politics in general what's the plans
00:26:04.520 with 1BC right now as a smaller party going forward are you going to keep sticking it out
00:26:11.000 and maybe trying to grow as you are or are there thoughts if there's a change in leadership
00:26:15.880 you know in the conservative party that maybe some groups could come together because
00:26:19.000 I mean we've seen that the bad consequence of vote splitting in Alberta.
00:26:22.760 Yeah vote splitting is always on people's minds but we 1BC I actually believe that we will form
00:26:29.480 government eventually um if not in the next election i actually believe we're going to we
00:26:34.200 we have memberships growing at a pace that we never anticipated we only started our party about
00:26:39.480 four and a half months ago and the interest and the signups and the donations that are starting
00:26:44.920 to come in are incredible uh we are showing principled leadership and people like that and
00:26:52.200 this is what i have told people we are not slick focus group politicians we are people who are
00:26:58.440 citizens uh tara armstrong and i are are two women we've both been in business we're business women
00:27:05.240 we've had kids we've been through a lot we've we've we we are we are here to stand up for bc
00:27:12.600 do the right thing and be honest with british colombians about what's going on and we will not
00:27:16.120 avoid the hot potato issues like so many politicians want to do it's terrible to watch
00:27:21.880 actually how they don't want to deal with the things that everyone's talking about because
00:27:25.720 they're so afraid that they'll suffer in the polls. I won't do that. I'm going to keep raising
00:27:31.200 the issues. And I actually believe this will resonate with the people of BC and we're doing
00:27:35.540 well. And we, we're taking on issues that I think need to be taken on. And even if they call me
00:27:41.460 names, you know, I would prefer to have the political debate with them about what I'm talking
00:27:46.200 about rather than trying to shut me down through calling me names or trying to drag me to the human
00:27:50.980 rights tribunal or the mainstream media trying to just pretend I don't exist um you know they
00:27:57.020 can keep doing that but that's not going to work and um the issues need to be discussed in an honest
00:28:03.620 and open manner yeah no you haven't let name calling or some of those pressures stop you at
00:28:08.360 all and I really appreciate that we need more of that in politics in general uh there is a
00:28:13.060 disadvantage in having you know a limited caucus uh with the amount of research budget questions
00:28:18.500 you can get in things such as that. I don't know what the bar is in BC. In Alberta, you have to
00:28:23.140 have four members before you really start getting decent resources to move ahead. Do you think there
00:28:29.160 might be anything in the works then that might expand the number of people you have in the
00:28:32.200 legislature? Yes, there are conversations going on with people who are still in the Conservative
00:28:37.120 Party. And we've started getting candidates, actually. We're rolling out candidates sort of
00:28:42.340 one every 10 days or so now and that's that's exciting but we we we do know people in the
00:28:48.920 conservative party obviously i have friends there and um and i think time will tell uh the conservative
00:28:55.500 party is unraveling before our eyes it it it was uh it was fractured from the very beginning
00:29:02.520 because they brought in people from too many different ends of the political spectrum into
00:29:07.500 one party and pretended it was conservative and it wasn't. So they have conservatives in there and
00:29:13.460 then really mid to leftists in there. So I think that, by the way, with two people in BC, we have
00:29:21.540 party status. And so Tara and I have benefited from, we get a question every day now in question
00:29:26.880 period. We've been introducing bills. We've been punching above our weight really for just the two
00:29:33.060 of us. And we work really hard. We're really focused. We start every morning at eight o'clock
00:29:37.420 and we're here till seven o'clock every night. And we work, work, work. And that's, we are
00:29:41.040 dedicated and committed. And I love working with Tara. She's an amazingly strong woman,
00:29:46.360 and we're going to keep doing that. And hopefully through that strength, we attract other people to
00:29:50.380 us. Great. Well, that's good to know. I was just, I'm sort of a veteran of the old Wild Rose party
00:29:55.480 many years ago in Alberta. And we had at one point only one member in the legislature and he
00:29:59.320 You'd get like one question a week, you know, and barely any budget.
00:30:03.760 So it was very difficult to be noticed.
00:30:05.740 So it's good to know that you guys have a party status there.
00:30:08.500 Before I let you go, then, that means you can table bills, as you said.
00:30:11.280 What legislation have you guys been putting forward?
00:30:13.980 Well, we've put forward several.
00:30:16.720 One of them was the Land Acknowledgement Prohibition Act.
00:30:21.960 One of them was the Protection of Private Property Rights Act.
00:30:27.080 the other one was the uh recovery of health costs from uh immigrants act i don't know if that's the
00:30:36.160 exact name but it was basically an act that said if you come here we're going you have to post a
00:30:41.040 bond of 7 500 to pay for your medical care each year until you become a citizen and if you don't
00:30:47.000 use it it'll be returned but we can't have people coming here using our hospitals and they're not
00:30:52.660 contributing or they haven't been and we've got our own citizens who can't even get into the
00:30:56.480 emergency room. We also introduced an act, a bill to reduce the tax rates in BC by 50% for anybody
00:31:06.360 making less than $100,000 and by 25% for anybody making over $100,000, whether you're an individual
00:31:13.240 or corporation. And we've got another bill being introduced today. And that, I guess I could
00:31:21.900 announce that is that okay to say that out loud it's about uh dei and what it's doing to our
00:31:30.460 public institutions and that dei stands for diversity equity and inclusion and all of the
00:31:37.400 other um language that's been introduced into our public institutions that are changing things so
00:31:46.080 dramatically we we need to get back we want to introduce say people need to be hired to be a
00:31:50.860 professor or teacher whichever you're at based on your achievements and the merit and what you've
00:31:55.700 accomplished and your your what you've done and what you can bring not based on your sexuality
00:32:02.460 or your um or your uh ethnicity or ancestry it should be through your achievement and proper
00:32:09.980 get back to a meritocracy i believe that's the most important thing of all and then also to
00:32:14.840 start removing language from our things where we're referring to pregnant women as pregnant
00:32:21.280 people and this type of thing. And breastfeeding be called chest feeding. I mean, this is what's
00:32:26.360 going on in our medical schools. They're calling, you're not allowed to say breastfeeding anymore.
00:32:31.200 You're supposed to say chest feeding. And as a woman, I can't abide, I can't abide this.
00:32:37.040 No, it's an insult to common sense and just to things in general. Well, you guys have got
00:32:41.260 a very good full slate of a conservative agenda that you're pursuing. Looking forward to watching
00:32:47.140 more of it and you're putting things out there that nobody else will. But I think a lot of people
00:32:50.260 silently, and they should stop being silent, really want to see getting on the agenda. So before I let
00:32:56.000 you go, where can people find the 1BC party to inquire more or participate or support or scream
00:33:02.960 at whatever it may be? Well, please go to 1BC.ca. That's numeral 1BC.ca. You can look at the
00:33:10.060 platform that we've got so far we're still working on policy but we put a lot of thought into what
00:33:14.860 we've done there and it's a beautiful website and also we are having a documentary coming out
00:33:20.460 uh called making a killing reconciliation genocide and plunder and the plunder of canada
00:33:27.180 and that is premiering on december 1st and that is going to be coming out on um we're having a
00:33:33.580 premiere here in the legislature but it'll be coming out on my x account and also on making
00:33:38.380 makingakilling.ca makingakilling.ca and that is going to be a very in-depth documentary that we
00:33:45.960 did we filmed it in the early half of july about what's going on the kamloops stuff all of this
00:33:52.020 and the whole discussion about um reconciliation and we have some very brave indigenous men who
00:33:57.980 have come on to tell us exactly what what what's what as well so this is a really um this is an
00:34:04.220 all-star story about what's going on in BC. And I have a feeling people will be very interested
00:34:11.580 to watch this documentary. Excellent. Well, I'm looking forward to it coming out and giving it a
00:34:16.460 watch. I know you're preparing for question period, so I'll let you get onto that. And thank you again
00:34:20.320 for joining us today. Thank you very much, Corey. Have a good day, everybody. Thanks. Bye. One more
00:34:26.200 time, folks. That was Dallas Brody with One BC Party. As you can hear, isn't it refreshing? I
00:34:30.800 I mean, there's somebody who's not sugarcoating things and just diving in, and we need so much
00:34:35.560 more of that. We really do. I mean, the thing that frustrates me, I get that when I talk to
00:34:40.580 some Alberta elected officials, others, and they watch my ex-account. They say, boy, Corey, yes,
00:34:45.300 you said it just right there. I wish I could say that. I wish I could say that. Well, I wish you
00:34:48.440 would say it too. It doesn't look like Ms. Brody's afraid of saying any of those things. Some of
00:34:55.240 those questions I've seen coming up, let's talk a little bit of politics. It's, you know, that's
00:34:59.820 what we do, right? So, Gregory J. Byrne there saying, how is it a representative democracy if
00:35:05.340 our representatives are allowed to abstain from voting on our behalf? Now, I'm assuming, of course,
00:35:10.420 he's speaking of the budget passing, and the budget passed because the number of MPs on the
00:35:14.500 NDP and the conservative side abstained. That's the way the system works, and it's ugly, it's messy.
00:35:23.300 You want to talk about, you know, things that you don't want necessarily, you know, see the process
00:35:27.080 of a sausage being made. That budget was going to pass no matter what. I said it before. I said it
00:35:32.600 over and over again. I was confident when I said I'd been wrong before, but when you drill down
00:35:38.100 to the political situation and where the opposition parties are sitting, none of them want to go to an
00:35:42.980 election right now. The NDP is in total disarray. They're broke. They're deeply in debt and low in
00:35:49.720 public support. They've only got seven members of parliament left. They can't afford to go to the
00:35:54.420 polls. So there's no way they were going to trigger an election right now. The conservatives
00:35:58.300 are doing better than the NDP by a long shot, but they're not doing great. And they are not in a
00:36:03.220 position to fight another election yet. Their bigger fear would actually be to give Carney
00:36:07.860 a full majority going into things. Do I like that? No, no, I don't. I don't like the political play.
00:36:16.460 You know, a funny thing to say, I have more respect, for example, with some of the politics
00:36:21.840 with the floor crossing that that other clown did out in the East Coast.
00:36:26.900 And I don't respect his floor crossing.
00:36:28.580 I understand why he's able to.
00:36:31.240 But at least he did the full thing.
00:36:33.300 Versus Matt Jenneru, who has just stopped doing his job.
00:36:38.260 He, from all appearances, looks like had a failed floor crossing.
00:36:42.000 It blew up and fell apart on him.
00:36:43.580 But rather than be honest about it and just join the Liberals,
00:36:46.860 he's just going to sit in the sidelines, collect a check,
00:36:48.920 not show up and ask people not to ask him questions any longer.
00:36:51.840 That's a cowardly approach. That is the ugliness of politics. But even without those two crossings
00:36:58.960 or whatever, the abstention of Jenner and the other crossing. And then there was Stubbs who's
00:37:04.260 getting it a lot. She had a surgical procedure prepared for that day. I don't believe it's fake
00:37:09.760 or anything of the sort. It just happened that worked. But if she hadn't, there would have been
00:37:14.300 a couple other backbenchers. They call it the parliamentary flu. It happens. Other parties have
00:37:18.920 done it before too and everything. Suddenly they, oh boy, geez, I ate some bad clams in the
00:37:23.320 staff room. I've got to step out and they don't return until the vote's passed or, you know,
00:37:28.620 whatever other reason. They're going to find excuses. There's going to be one way or another
00:37:32.500 that there just aren't enough people to get the budget passed. That way the rest of them can vote
00:37:35.840 and say we totally oppose it. But in reality, they do oppose the budget, but they don't want
00:37:40.100 to go to an election over it. What's it going to take? Well, it's going to take a lot more strength
00:37:47.600 for underneath one of those opposition parties to want to pull the pin that's the bottom line
00:37:53.760 the fearful thing is if the opposition parties drop too low in the polls that Carney might
00:37:59.800 engineer a falling of his government that's when you'll throw out a bill that just has things in
00:38:05.420 it that just there's no way the parties can support it no matter what a poison pill in there
00:38:09.780 and force themselves to go down on it and then hope that they win a majority on it uh
00:38:14.960 Mavro's asking, you know, can you explain how Jenner didn't cross? Doesn't make sense. Now he
00:38:20.400 has no job. No, he has a job. That's what I'm talking about with the cowardice with it. He's
00:38:24.440 just a conservative MP who just isn't doing anything. He's still drawing a check. He's still
00:38:28.420 there. Asking, do they have dirt on him? I don't know. I don't think so. I certainly don't have any
00:38:32.300 inside knowledge on that. And I'm just speculating that it was a failed crossing where he was talked
00:38:37.820 out of it and just asked to sit aside. I could be wrong on that, but there's something that really
00:38:43.160 stunk there and still stinks. I mean, you're a member of parliament. In fact, if you can't do
00:38:49.140 your job until spring, if you won't show up and cast your votes till spring, so when somebody's
00:38:52.980 talking about it not being proper representative of democracy, if you abstain from votes, it's
00:38:57.780 one thing to strategically abstain from one, but it's another if you just kind of disappear from
00:39:01.800 the scene saying, nobody asked me questions anymore, and I might resign in spring. But in
00:39:05.620 the meantime, I'm still going to keep my seat and still draw my check. No, no, you're getting paid
00:39:12.800 six figures to tell us what the hell you're doing. You're getting paid a lot of money. You
00:39:16.380 were voted in by people to be represented. Don't give me that want to spend more time with my
00:39:21.080 family BS. We know that's BS. It should be almost illegal for a politician to use that excuse. I
00:39:26.980 want to spend more time with my family. Come on, get original. Say you had a bad case of hemorrhoids
00:39:32.520 blossom and it's incurable and you just can't sit in a seat any longer. So due to the pain and
00:39:36.960 suffering and staining of that green upholstery, you've decided to move on because that's more
00:39:42.660 believable than you wanting to go spend time with your family. Nobody who really feels they have to
00:39:47.760 spend that much time in their family chooses, and it's a choice, the job of being a member of
00:39:52.180 parliament where you're going to be out of town that much time. We saw that with two of the liberals
00:39:57.080 going into the last election when they were down in the toilet in the polls. A couple of them who
00:40:02.180 are ministers now, I'm forgetting the names now, Fraser was one of them and another one who said
00:40:06.760 they were not going to run again because they wanted to spend more time with their family.
00:40:10.860 they both said that. And then when they rose up in the polls, suddenly they decided, you know what,
00:40:14.160 I don't really like my family that much. And they ran. Why? Because they were lying and they don't
00:40:19.000 like their family that much, obviously. If it was that important and you can change your mind on a
00:40:24.280 whim. Just the BS. God, that's what I was talking about with Dallas Brody. At least, whether you
00:40:31.080 like or don't like where she's coming from, at least she's being outright honest. Not taking the
00:40:35.100 most politically expedient way with things and not saying she's going to spend more time with
00:40:42.320 family. Alberta's in for a lot of crazy politics. We're watching it. I mean, that's nothing new.
00:40:46.920 So we're going to see a lot of play. We're going to see a lot of indignance.
00:40:51.360 So yeah, the timing of things, right? The report on what does look like they really kind of dropped
00:40:56.840 the ball and messed up when it came to doing things with clinics and diagnostics, which really
00:41:01.480 needed work and they messed it up, but they still need to work on these reforms. Now the plan, I
00:41:06.780 guess, got leaked to where they're going to allow doctors to do more private work while remaining in
00:41:11.180 the public system as well, has allowed Nenshi to jump up and down and put his close eyes, look in
00:41:17.800 the air and tell us all how it's going to force everybody to have to pay out of their pocket to
00:41:20.900 see a doctor, which is an absolute 100% lie. But that's the lie that the left uses over and over
00:41:26.800 and over again as they protect our over-unionized, underperforming, expensive health care system.
00:41:32.120 This status quo, that's to be blunt, the shits. It, when measured against world health systems,
00:41:40.180 stinks and it's falling. And of course, then she came out and said she wants to Americanize it.
00:41:44.800 You know, you want to get my back up fast. Yeah, use that lazy term against all reforms of our
00:41:50.680 system. I don't care about the American system. I could not care less. Let's look at the French
00:41:57.400 system. Let's look at the Singapore. Let's look at Australia. Let's look at Ireland. Let's look
00:42:03.420 at the Netherlands. You know what they all have that we don't? They allow private provision of
00:42:08.920 care for profit. And we've got to look at them. It's all, they all have universal plans too. So
00:42:16.020 nobody is turned away from care because they don't have enough money. So let's end that BS
00:42:22.420 of it being just American and Canada and pretending as if there's only two systems in the world.
00:42:28.000 There aren't. There's dozens and dozens of them and a whole whack of them are surpassing ours
00:42:32.160 and we're fools not to look at the ones that are doing the best and say, what can we do that
00:42:38.180 they're doing to make our system better? Instead, we keep pretending that Canada's crap system,
00:42:43.160 where thousands of people, and they really are, they're dying on waiting lists. Yes, it's free
00:42:48.820 to die on a waiting list. Is it really worth it then? We're so stubbornly attached to this while
00:42:54.280 the lists grow and grow and people leave the country to get care. Not rich people, desperate
00:43:00.020 people. People remortgage their homes to go outside and jump the line to try and survive and get care.
00:43:07.760 Not rich people. They borrow, they beg, they get money from family members because they're
00:43:11.560 suffering or they're dying. And guess what happens with that? Well, that's money leaving here. That's
00:43:15.960 money going to a competing doctor, hospital, clinic, somewhere else that we could have kept here if we'd
00:43:21.600 reform our system. But no, Ninchy's going to grandstand and fight all reform. But remember,
00:43:29.840 when you dig, when you scratch, what do you get every time? Not just the communists, unions. It's
00:43:35.140 the frigging unions because private centers aren't unionized. They have merit-based systems. Yes,
00:43:43.220 the nurses get highly paid because they're good and the crappy nurses get fired. Here we have this
00:43:50.480 unionized system and let's quit pretending every nurse is good. Some of them stink but we can't
00:43:56.780 get them out. We pay them loads because the union protects them and who suffers? The patients and
00:44:02.000 yes, we got a brand new spanking strike coming up yet again in Alberta. It looks like the LPNs
00:44:07.220 are going on strike, which is licensed practical nurses. Not to be mistaken for the RNs, which are
00:44:13.480 registered nurses. They have their own union. And it's funny how these unions pit against each other.
00:44:18.380 So the LPNs are howling, saying we need to be paid nearly as much as RNs because we do just
00:44:23.360 about everything RNs do. And if they get that raise, then the RNs will all get upset. So these
00:44:28.780 LPNs are below us, yet they're making almost the same money as us. We're going to go on strike
00:44:32.620 unless we get more raises, so we're much above the LPNs. See where this goes? Meanwhile, we run out
00:44:39.160 of money and die waiting for care. We lay in hospital beds, in the hallways, and die waiting
00:44:46.500 for diagnostics, or go bankrupt, because yes, people do go broke looking for health care.
00:44:52.040 It's just they have to leave the country to do it, because the waiting list's got them. We need real
00:44:56.480 discussions. We need real courage. We need real MLAs like Brody and like Premier Smith, at least
00:45:01.780 has been willing to hopefully stand her ground and do some real reforms on the system that people
00:45:08.320 have turned into a sacred cow because it's failing. It's failing bad and we can't afford it.
00:45:12.720 And if you really want healthcare as your top issue, then we got to bloody well fix it. All
00:45:16.780 right. I'm out of time. I've ranted my head off. Thank you all for tuning in today, guys. Tune into
