CBC Excuses Voter Fraud & Liberal MP resigns after losing rigged election!
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.So we now have it confirmed that Nate Erskine -Smith will be resigning his seat in Parliament this coming June.And I'm actually pretty shocked by this, because as I've been following the Scarborough Southwest Ontario Liberal Party nomination scandal, I had been assuming that since he got screwed out of the nomination because both the OLP rigged it and his opponent was cheating, that he was going to say, well, Now I'm going to stay in my federal seat because I thought I was going into provincial politics, but I was blocked.So I'm going to stay being the MP for Beaches East York.I'm going to give a big compliment to Nate Erskine Smith.The guy is a man of his word.
I agree with him on no policies.At the same time, at least he actually is doing what he said he was going to do.He said that he was leaving federal politics and he was going to go into provincial.And although even though he was screwed in the Scarborough Southwest nomination through rigging and cheating, he's still going to be giving up his federal seat.Check out this clip from CTV News where he was on with Vachie Capellos.
You said every vote counts.Your party now has a majority.Are you going to resign your seat?
Yes.Yes, I said what I said, and I'm going to stand by what I said.I'm going to do what I said I was going to do.I've talked to the prime minister's office.I've been in fairly regular touch.They asked me to stay on, so I stayed on.
I mean, you can say I'm not a team player, but I put myself through a lot, in some cases, quite a lot of criticism in order to make sure we supported a really tough parliamentary minority.
When he talked about staying on, he's talking about Back in 2025 Mark Carney convinced him to stay on with the liberals and run in the 2025 election with them.He did that.And then, since the liberals now have a majority government.
longer a minority, he to resign his office and g we're in an easier space conversation I had with t was, you know, I'll give in june and I'll resign o they'll have enough time hopefully have a nominat nomination will be well r I have to give a compliment to a liberal.
He actually is doing what he said he was going to do.What a concept.But not only do I want to talk about the implications of Nate Erskine -Smith resigning from office alongside Jonathan Wilkinson, who's also giving up his North Vancouver Capilano seat, I then want to dive into more of the details of the Scarborough Southwest Ontario Liberal Party nomination, because this thing is turning into a complete garbage fire for the Ontario Liberal Party.The funny thing is I have really no dog in the fight when it comes to Ontario provincial politics.I care about every province in Canada and I try and follow their politics as closely as time allows me to.Sorry Maritimes, I'm probably not following PEI politics that closely.
I just saw Jessica Atlin lost a mayoral race in Fredericton, which is funny, but I don't have the time for it.But in Ontario, I don't like any of the parties.Doug Ford's PCs suck.The Liberals suck.The NDP sucks.The Greens suck.
I like the New Blue Party.I recognize they probably can't win a seat.Some people are like, but Wyatt, they can't win.I understand.No, I'm never marketing them as if like they're going to take government.I'm marketing them as a good place to park your vote because the PCs just suck these days, as I've been saying about all the parties.
And so, In this video, again, we're going to start off with the implications of Erskine Smith and Jonathan Wilkinson leaving.Then I want to get into some of the details that Erskine Smith himself relates.about the nomination.And I even want to play a clip of him on the CBC where the CBC justifies voter fraud, tries to excuse voter fraud, because of course they are.If anything, I'm very happy about this situation, not because I like voter fraud.I cover it because I abhor voter fraud.
I like how much this has exposed people like David Cochran on the CBC.He is such a water carrier for establishment liberal politics that he is willing to justify the screwing over of a sitting liberal MP trying to run for an MPP nomination in Ontario.it's quite incredible.But before I go any further, I just want to remind you guys, if you live in the province of Saskatchewan, there is a nomination going on on the border of Manitoba in the York to Melville riding.Kathy Wagon Tall is not running for re -election this next time, so there is a nomination going on.If you live in this area, it's on the Elections Canada website.
If you want to go check it out, I will be linking the conservative party membership portal in the description below and pinned at the top of the comments.If you live in that area or you know someone who lives in the area and you can encourage them to become a member, get that membership and vote for Albert Duff.He's a very good across the board conservative, fiscal conservative, freedom conservative, social conservative.and he would make a very good replacement for Kathy Wagenthal.It's a safe conservative riding, which means that it matters more than ever to actually show up and vote in the nomination race because it is the real basically it's the real election.The membership portal for that riding closes on Friday in terms of if you buy a membership like past the time on Friday that you can that you're supposed to buy one, you cannot vote in the nomination.
So make sure to get that early.Again, I will be linking all the information below if you want to vote in that nomination.Anyways, so let's get in to just the current state of Parliament.Right now, Mark Carney's Liberals have 172 seats.Do I bring up the whiteboard for this or not?I think I've got a little bit tired of the whiteboard from the last three videos, Right now, Mark Carney's liberals have 172 seats.
Now you need, I believe exactly, or no, he has 174 seats.You need 172 for a bare majority.So the problem for Mark Carney is although he's not falling out of his majority with Jonathan Wilkinson and Nate Erskine -Smith leaving, the problem is for a few months it's going to be very difficult for him to pass stuff.Because if you don't know, the liberal government is going to be the one that has to put up the Speaker, which means although the Speaker can technically tie -break, the problem is the Speaker being the tie -breaking vote means that votes themselves become extremely onerous.Mark Carney has no barrier or no buffer for people not showing up.Every single Liberal MP must be there to vote things through.
And if you don't know, there is something on Parliament Hill called a pairing agreement, If a liberal MP, let's just say, needs a knee surgery or something like that, or someone is at home, sick as a dog, cannot participate in the House of Commons, what you'll usually have happen is an MP from another party, usually the ones that the biggest parties will usually do most of the pairing, If a liberal is not on Parliament Hill, then the Conservative will agree that even if they're on Parliament Hill, they won't vote to kind of keep the peace, keep the general balance of Parliament.But the Conservatives are probably unlikely to actually follow those rules anymore.They are going to be at Parliament Hill all the time and they're not going to let the Liberals have any room for error.And so right now, Carney is in a situation where everything is going to grind to a halt and he's going to have an extremely difficult time actually getting anything through again.And since he has to put up the speaker for all the votes, the conservatives could say, hey, you no longer really have a workable majority anymore.We want to vote to restore all the committees to the way they used to be, not with these extra liberals on all of them, hacked in so the liberals can do things like prevent the finance minister from having to testify in front of the ethics committee or for all of the other committees.
from being able to go in camera so that people don't actually get to see what's going on and no transcript is actually made public.So right now it gives the conservatives, the Black Quebecois, the NDP, and even Elizabeth May as the lone green, a lot of power to start pushing back on the liberals.The only, I guess, silver lining is that maybe Bolares, the NDP MP, who's going to go and run in the Quebec provincial election, maybe he'll be a little bit too distracted.So Carney still technically has a majority.But Mark Carney is now in a much more uncomfortable position than he was just a couple of weeks ago.As Erskine Smith even said, and he said in other interviews, Mark Carney didn't want him to go.
Those two people hate each other more than the bubonic plague hates antibiotics.But Mark Carney doesn't exactly want him to leave because, again, it puts him in these very awkward positions.Maybe he wouldn't be leaving if he didn't screw him over in terms of being the housing minister.Nate Erskine -Smith only ran in 2025 under the promise that Carney was going to let him be housing minister.He only let him be housing minister for about two months and then replaced him with Gregor Robertson, which I've heardbackground chatter has to do with potentially Marco Mendicino pulling strings to make sure that he got kicked out because he doesn't like him for some petty personal reasons.

Get started freeBut I'm not going to get into that any further.That's the current state of Parliament.Now we've got to get into some of these other media interviews with Erskine Smith and sort of the details coming out of the Scarborough Southwest riding because again this is going to have a big impact on Ontario provincial politics.I don't care all that much about Ontario provincial politics at the moment because everything's trash but this still says something about our current political system in Canada that these sort of things are allowed to happen in internal party races.Oftentimes the race that matters far more than the general election because the nominations determine who is going to be the representative for each party and in ridings like Scarborough Southwest or, you know, where he's from in the federal riding, Beaches East York, or in a safe conservative riding, whoever wins the nomination, Yorkton Melville, like I just brought up, whoever wins the nomination is effectively going to be the MP.But here is Nate Erskine -Smith on the CBC with David Cochran.
This is just a 15 second clip of just NES talking for a second.In a second, we're going to get to a clip with David Cochran in it.The way he conducts himself in this interview with Nate Erskine Smith, who I will sometimes refer to as NES, is despicable.It's deplorable.David Cochran effectively tries to justify voter fraud in these videos.Check it out.
Ask yourself, why would dozens and dozens and dozens of people who are temporary residents showing up, not understanding the process, when they're asked for their address, they're not certain about what their address is.And then they're taking pictures of their ballot.Ask yourself, why would they be doing that?
heard that right.He residents, you're allowed nominations.If you are a we change that rule and m Yes, probably.But in Ont if you're in a liberal, provincial liberal polit You can vote pretty much as long as you're alive.If you're alive and have an Ontario Liberal Party membership, you're allowed to vote pretty much.So yes, temporary residents are voting.
And in the documentation that Erskine Smith provides in his own blog post, they were saying that refugees were voting, fraudulent refugees were voting.People who are visitors, tourists, effectively, are voting in this nomination.And yet the Ontario Liberal Party and their interim leader, John Fraser, are trying to move heaven and earth to stand by the results that ended up putting this AFIZ guy in as the Liberal nominee, who is going around campaigning with sex offenders, posts weird stuff on his own social media all the time, and needed to win a nomination, effectively, with people who couldn't speak the English language.we're not from the riding, and are not even permanent residents of Canada.But now let's get into this next clip with David Cochran trying to again throw darts at Nate Erskine -Smith, the case he's making here.Now you could say he's just trying to be an interviewer, he's just trying to you know ask the tough questions, be devil's advocate.
There's devil's advocate and then there is just blatantly kind of naysaying something that's obviously true.he's saying that this loo David keeps trying to scor he's trying to justify t insider politics.
When yo I mean, there's often jusand human error that leads to irregularities and problems.You and I have both seen that in politics over the years.And then there's flat out corruption and manipulation of a process.I mean, what sort of suspicion do you have that's happening here?
So here's a question.Right.So what explains someone on a video call in a ballot box getting instructions of how to vote?I do not have an explanation for that.
Look, I don't know.
And David immediately folds because he's not asking questions, quote unquote, to try and get at the truth.He's trying to throw out misnomer explanations so that maybe People who are friendly to the establishment liberal circles can say, well, maybe there's a little incompetence.You can't control incompetence.Oh, there's always going to be some errors.Oh, shut up, David.No, it's voter fraud.
It's rigging.It's in fact, when we go into some of the details of what Nate Erskine Smith's team has put out, it's probably bribery.It's people, why are you taking photos of your ballots to show people who you mark down?Isn't it enough that a physicist team wanted you to go and vote, and you went and they checked your name off the sheet you voted.They don't know exactly who you voted for, but you seemed friendly to them, submitted your ballot.Why do you need to take a photo of your ballot?
It's almost like you have to prove that you did something so you can get something.That's classical voter fraud.That's classical vote buying.But let's get back to this ridiculous clip of, again, David Cochran pretending to be dumb when all this stuff is being explained to him.
Well, I would say, look, I don't know, but I would say it's definitely incompetent of the people running it to allow a video conference in the ballot box.
Like, no, that's not incompetence.How does he can't just say, well, that's definitelyincompetence.No, that's definitely fraud.That's definitely allowing fraud.You can't say, oh, that's just incompetence.
Oh, how would they know?The scrutineers knew enough to take photos of it going on because they knew that this was not kosher.And we're going to get into the photos later.But David, throwing out every excuse, every justification for why voter fraud doesn't matter.Oh, it's just noise.It's no big deal.
Maybe people just weren't sure what the rules were.Why do you need to videoconference somebody while you're voting?Why do you need to ask questions to somebody on video and give them a call while you have pencil in hand, pen in hand, trying to figure out who to vote for?Why do you need to do that?In any federal election, provincial general election, you would be kicked out of the voting booth and probably not allowed to vote if you were doing that.At the very least, they would come over and quickly tell you to stop or you would be kicked out.
The only people allowed to get assistance voting are people with disabilities.That's the only people, someone who is very old and frail and they need someone's help and they're saying, I allow this person to come and help me and it's like a relative.You don't just get to just have a random staff member of Hafiz come in and just point at the things you're supposed to mark down, my goodness.But again, nothing's underhanded in the eyes of the CBC.
You know what I mean?If I tried to do that, I've never voted in a party nomination, but I can't imagine the Elections Canada people would let me get away with that on federal voting.

Get started freeSo I'm glad you say this, David, because in the appeal materials, I did want to note, I wanted to be constructive, and I wanted to say, Look, we need a full investigation.I want to make sure it's not about me at all.And that's about the process and improving and protecting the integrity of the process.And two areas where I think we absolutely need to protect the integrity of our process.One comes out of the whole commission where they recommended in the federal government to adopt this change to say that voting participationbe limited to citizens and to permanent residents.
The Ontario Liberal Party has not changed the rules in, I think, an appropriate way, and that needs to change, especially after we just saw hundreds of temporary residents show up at the polls on Saturday.And the second piece here, and you've identified this, is The party clearly was incapable of running an election where 1 ,500 people voted in a very short window of time on a Saturday afternoon.And Elections Ontario should be responsible for this because what we saw on Saturday was that a core tenet of our democracy, which is ballot secrecy, was completely undermined.And Elections Ontario should be at the forefront of protecting that.
Now, I now just want to jump into the last clip here with David Cochran and then we'll go into a little bit of the blog post that NES had made on this race.We will eventually get the photos too.It's wild that this had gone on.But this next clip is, again, another really annoying one because the establishment type chilling I've seen on social media around all of this has been maddening.And David Cochran's like the avatar of all that ever.There's nothing that isn't nothing's untoward.
Because we said all you just you just don't know how politics works.Oh, you're just taking it too personally.Oh, well, how do you know that that's corruption?It's like, God, you're the media.you're like a political o you don't care.Why is it is always trying to nays rather than looking into this clip.
You know, you l and you look at the irreg highlighting here and you comments that the party e working to prevent you fr I mean, what, what makes didn't you have that the wanted to stop you from Southwest.
I mean, they 'vLook, I don't want to get too in the weeds on this because, like, I want to be squarely focused on the process here and how we improve the process and how we make sure something like this never happens again.But look, I mean, Tom Allison, who's a longtime old guard establishment for the Ontario Liberal Party, he was chief scrutineer for Mr. Hafez.And when asked about why he was there, he said, I'm here to save the party, ostensibly to save the party from me, I suppose.You had Ted Loiko, who was campaign manager for Mr. Hafez.Ted Loiko, who previously was running a nomination campaign for Han Dong.
Handong, if you don't know, is a massive CCP shill, and in the nomination that he ran, the guy he mentioned who was Handong's campaign manager, in 2019 helped bus in effectively non -citizen Chinese voters to stuff ballots for Handong.And that, again, CBC, where's the investigation?Now they are, helping APTN, basically the indigenous version of the CBC, put on these expose documentaries where they try and entrap people like Lindsay Shepard, Frances Widdowson, they even tried to entrap Dallas Brody into these absurd parody interviews where they dump a bunch of children's shoes in front of you.CBC is putting hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars into crap garbage activist content like that.That's going to be another video for another day.But they're not going to look into what is a very clear instance of voter fraud and election rigging and potential bribery.
No curiosity.In fact, David Cochran puts on his incredulous face and acts incredulous the entire time.Why would they want to do that to you, Nate?Oh, well, isn't that just incompetence?Is that really wrong?Can we say that's wrong?
It's like, well, I don't know about that.Well, I wouldn't know what that would mean if people are on Facebook.calls asking who to vote for and taking photos of their ballots after who knows what that is.But no, no, but the CBC is trying to entrap Francis Wilson and Lindsey Shepard into these absurd fake interviews to try and humiliate them.That's what they do have time to put money into investigate.
And there's longstanding ties to Mr. Allison and to the party.You had Alexis Levine there.You had Jack Siegel there.I mean, run down the list.There were all sorts of people who were there supporting opponents and making sure that we were unsuccessful.That's OK, by the way.
I don't take issue with a number of folks in the party who don't want to see me succeed.That's OK.That's democracy.It's not democracy to see the number of irregularities, to see The party turned a blind eye, I think, unfortunately, to so many of these irregularities.I said to my wife, like, should we do this or should I do this?And she said, I don't want you to, from the perspective of I want you at home more, I don't want you stressed about these things, it's not good.
What's the outcome here?But on the flip side, we can't let this happen in Canada.
Anyway, so there's that again, just terrible performance there by David Cochran.But now I want to go into the blog post that Nate Erskine -Smith made, which I will be linking below as well if you want to check it out.He actually also put his own video out where he had his own, I think, chief scrutineer do a rundown of what he had seen.And it's quite remarkable, but most of those details are in this blog post as well.Here is a photo of the voting stations where NES scrutineers have on camera some of the voters or Hafeez, more presumably his voters, are all taking photographs of what their ballot looked like.Why do you need to do that?
Why?Why do you need to prove someone that's exactly how you voted?You can prove you voted, you showed up and they crossed your name off.Why do they say that?need to see what your ballot looked like?That is illegal in most elections.
You can't be posting ballots online.The government could demand you take that down.You'd only need to prove it to somebody if there's something that you get if you do it, or to avoid punishment if you don't go and fill out the ballot properly.Absolutely wild.Let's go down a little bit more.I think they also had some other photos around here.
Well, they have the video up there as well.So when I post the blog post, you'll be able to see that too.But I want to go down some of the points that he makes here to show you just how ridiculous this entire thing gets.So number one, There was an organized effort by Mr. Hafeez's campaign to direct, monitor, and pressure people throughout the voting process, from the time they walked into the building to after they cast their ballots.We saw many, many cases of people hanging around watchfully in the voting area, telling voters explicitly what they should do.Multiple people took calls on speakerphone or video so they could get instructions in the voting booth while marking their ballots.
There were countless cases of individuals taking pictures of their ballots when brought to the attention of the party officials.They acknowledged that they'd all seen the same practice taking place throughout the day.In most of the world, this would be considered clear evidence of vote buying.Among the large number of temporary residents who voted, many could not initially state their address when asked and defaulted to documentation.An unusually high number of people claimed to have just lost their driver's licenses or just moved to the area.the party provided a list accept and then broke its and dozens of asylum seek refugee claimant documen to prove their address us lease, sometimes unsigned listed voters under 18 o
-status forms of ID included digital report cards and Amazon orders.One man even voted with a visitor's visa and foreign passport.And by the way, when they say listed someone under 18 up here, you actually are allowed to vote in most party nominations 14 years old or older.They're saying that people were showing apartment leases, supposedly an unsigned one, so it's not an actual real apartment lease by any, you know, normal, like any normal evidence, evidentiary standard, like it's just you just filled out an apartment lease for an apartment where the owner has not even signed off on it.And the person's not even 18.How is a like, let's say a 15 year old in possession of an apartment lease that lists them and their address that doesn't make any sense.

Get started freeSo now we go down to number five here.And it says, In the last hour or two, the OLP lost control of the voting process nearly entirely.Various people came and went, moved throughout the room, or hung around with little scrutiny.Our team witnessed repeated irregularities, people voting and then returning to the credentials line, people staying in the voting area long after they had voted, people entering the voting area via the exit.So yeah, a lot of just shenanigans going on.And remember, the fees had only beaten NES.
I think it's Ansul Hafiz had only beat NES by 19 votes, and there were 34 more votes counted than people who had actually voted that day.absolutely wild.And remember, like I previously said in other videos, the party before the vote happened removed 1265 members as being invalid, which Hafeez himself admitted had only affected a few of his actual members on his own list.NES, Quadra Jackson,, Quadra Jackson, Kadira Jackson, and someone else.I forgot what the last guy is.
They had all reported that those 1 ,265 membership deletions had affected them quite significantly, potentially being hundreds for each of them that were removed from their list.And Nader Iskandar Smith very much heavily protested that as disenfranchising a lot of voters.Somehow, Mr. Hafeez knew that it was no big deal for him and it might even help him.When you don't protest something that's clearly not kosher going on, it's probably because you know that's helping you.But anyways, so with all that being said, thank you guys for watching this video.No doubt there will be more updates to this story.
Nader Skynesmith is actually doing something fairly smart right now.In the aftermath of all this, he's saying, you don't even have to make me the candidate.don't make me the account of the candidate.I will not run in.If you guys redo the nomination, I will not run in it.If you appoint somebody, you do not have to appoint me. I'm not demanding you appoint me.
Just do it properly.And now the party is stuck between a rock and a hard place.As I mentioned in the previous video, what are they going to do?Tell him to pack sand and just go along with this broadster being their candidate with a lot of questionable connections and things he said and done on his own social media or Are they going to get rid of him and appoint somebody who isn't Nate Erskine -Smith when everyone knows the candidate probably should be him?He doesn't even have to be the candidate at this point.If anything, again, I have no investment in Nate Erskine -Smith's political career.
I disagree with pretty much everything he thinks.But in doing all of this, he's actually kind of beaten the party establishment already.He's already kind of given himself a hero narrative if he decides to run for the Ontario Liberal Party leadership.Now, the Liberal Party insiders seem to want Navdeep Bains, and then there's actually this other guy who entered the race recently.kind of interesting like he's definitely a big government liberal but he's running specifically specifically for the Ontario government, if he was the premier, to force out 80 % of temporary residents from the province or just from the country who are currently in Ontario, basically working with the federal government to make sure people leave to lower prices and lower the pressure on youth employment.Good idea.
I can give it to him.I probably don't agree with his other views, but that push to have the province of Ontario take ownership over immigration and make sure temporary residents are just temporary and they leave.Great idea.Fantastic.Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching this video.Make sure to like, share, subscribe.
If you live in the Yorkton, Melville, Saskatchewan federal riding, make sure to buy a conservative party membership for everybody in your household.14 years old and older, by the way, and vote for Albert Duff, a really good social conservative to replace Kathy Wagenthal.Make sure our safe conservative ridings stay with the most conservative person representing them.what's the point of electing some frivolous, soupy moderate in a riding that is through and through conservative.The person representing a riding should really reflect the mood of the base of that riding.Anyways, so see you guys all later, and I'll be coming out probably with another video on this particular subject later.
