VIDEO: LLTT tells why she ran for the People's Party of Canada

A day late and a dollar short? I wish I'd been able to put this up before yesterday's by-elections in the Canadian electoral districts of York-Simcoe (ON), Outremont (QC) and Burnaby South (BC). The last of those was contested by the Sikh Sikh Sikh leader of the socialist NDP, opposed by the Liberals, Conservatives and Maxime Bernier's new People's Party of Canada. The PPC candidate was Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, who explains in this short (5:06) campaign video why she joined the PPC and stood as a candidate.



As reported here this morning, Ms Tyler Thompson finished fourth -- a respectable fourth but fourth all the same. In Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system (as in the USA and UK), you don't get any prize for coming fourth, or even second.

So why am I posting this now, after the battle's lost? Because there will be other battles, notably a general election in October, and I believe Canadians who want to save their country from the socialist, social engineering policies of Trudeau's Liberals should be not just supporting but joining the People's Party of Canada, for the reasons given by Ms Tyler Thompson.

Strong showing for People's Party of Canada in Burnaby South,,,

In the other two ridings contested in by-elections yesterday -- Outremont and York Simcoe -- not so much. But for a movement which only became an official party in January, it was a decent showing, holding promise of becoming a real force in the federal election in October. The PPC, founded last fall by Maxime "Mad Max" Bernier, a Conservative Member of Parliament and former minister in the government of Steve Harpoon, got 10.6% of the vote in Burnaby South, and an average of only 2% in the other two ridings -- a mixed bag but at least Canucks weary of liberalism now know they have a real choice.

The PPC standard-bearer in Burnaby South was Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, mentioned with approval here a couple of times. A former Christian talk show host, Ms Tyler Thompson had some name recognition before launching her candidacy. She ran a decidedly populist campaign, using the slogan "Canada for Canadians", which played well to her base of evangelical Chinese-Canadians.

Jugmeat Singh, the leader of the socialistic New Democratic Party -- 58 years "new" -- won the riding, so finally will get to sport his turban inside the House of Commons. The Liberal and Conservative candidates, both Chinese-Canadian, finished second and third, respectively, with Ms Tyler Thompson a strong fourth.

In Ontario and Québec, the voters did about what was expected, staying home in droves. In the Ontario riding of York-Simcoe, the turnout was only some 20% of eligible voters. The riding has been held by the Conservatives since 2004 and continues that way, with the Tory candidate getting more than half the votes, finishing some 20 points ahead of the Liberal. PPC candidate Robert Geurts, a criminal lawyer [clarify, please. Ed.] placed a distant sixth out of nine candidates with only 1.9% of the vote.

In the Québec riding of Outremont, People's Party candidate James Seale, a Canadian Army veteran, did a little better, with 2.1% of the vote. A member of the armed forces for more than 30 years before retiring, Mr Seale said he was attracted to the PPC because of M Bernier's promise to increase investment in Canada's defence. Apparently that doesn't go over very well, especially when said in English, in the up-scale part of Montréal. The Liberals took back the traditionally Liberal riding from the NDP, while the Conservatives finished fifth.

Even before the final results were in, M Bernier tweeted that volunteers should be proud of what they accomplished so soon after the party was founded. "The hundreds of volunteers who helped our candidates in Burnaby South, York–Simcoe and Outremont can be proud of what they achieved," he said. "They blazed a trail that thousands of others will follow across the country in October."

Walt sez: Canadians had better hope Mad Max is right! The People's Party is the only party which stands for "Canada for Canadians!"

VIDEO: PPC's Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and NDP's Sikh leader in heated debate on immigration and "racism"

Last week Walt posted a video of one of the all-candidates debates in Burnaby South, an electoral district outside of Vancouver which will be one of the first tests of Maxime Bernier's new People's Party of Canada. The PPC's candidate there is Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, a staunch pro-lifer and Canada-firster. She is in tough against Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the socialist New Democratic Party, who is taking his last best shot at finally getting a seat in the House of Commons. Last week's video got more hits than any other post so far this month.

Today we have video from the last of those debates, in which the hot topic was immigration. (That's likely to be the No. 1 issue in the general election due in October.) Ms Tyler Thompson called for increased border security and strict controls on immigration, including stringent vetting of would-be immigrants to ensure that there won't be a repeat of the Marrissa Shen tragedy, reported last September on WWW. Predictably, Mr Singh and his supporters in the crowd called Ms Tyler Thompson a racist and tried to shout her down. Watch what happened next. Running time: 11:29.

VIDEO: People's Party candidate kills at Burnaby South debate

This is a follow-up to our quiz last Tuesday in which you were invited to spot the People's Party of Canada candidate in a pic of the six candidates contesting the by-election in the Canadian electoral district of Burnaby South. The PPC candidate is Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, who looks like a winner to me!

Today we have a video, posted to YouTube by a convert to the PPC, in which Ms Tyler Thompson debates the others on the topic "Can Canada survive Facebook?" -- the role on the issues of free speech and the censorship of politically incorrect opinions in the lamestream media. You'll enjoy seeing her eviscerate the pinko NDP candidate -- Jagmeet Singh, the one who the media say is going to win -- and the others. Listen to what this woman has to say. How could you not vote for her?!



The by-election will be held on February 25th. Walt isn't taking bets, because it's pretty hard for the candidate of a brand new party to win on the first go-round, but I'll sure be watching!

Quiz: Spot the People's Party of Canada candidate

Today Walt has a little quiz for you, related to a by-election to be held in the British Columbia riding of Burnaby South. [Explain, please! Ed.] Under the rules of the Canadian House of Commons, if a seat becomes vacant, a special election, called a "by-election" must be held after a time so the people of that riding (= district) won't lack a Member to draw a large salary for misrepresenting them. On February 25th, the people of Burnaby South -- a suburb of Vancouver -- get a chance to replace an NDP (= socialist) Member who quit to find a better job.

What makes this one interesting is the New Democratic Party standard-bearer this time is none other than Jagmeet Singh! [Who?! Ed.] Mr Singh is the poster boy for tribal politics and bloc voting, having marshalled a gang of Sikh people to elect him leader of the NDP, way back in 2017. Unfortunately for him and his party, Mr Singh didn't have a seat in the House of Commons, having quit his job as deputy leader of the NDP in the Ontario legislature to find a better job.

Not being an MP, Mr Singh couldn't participate in the deliberations of the Commons, or do very much else except stand at the door and look hopeful. With the NDP at its lowest ebb in the polls (not to mention fundraising) in decades, he was given an ultimatum by the remaining members -- all three of them -- that he'd better get himself elected right sharpish, so threw his turban in the Burnaby ring.

Mr Singh may have expected that the ruling Liberals would show him the courtesy of not putting up a candidate to oppose him, particularly since the pundits say the pinkos would fare worse, in the October general election, with Mr Singh at the helm than they would with ABS (Anyone But Singh). Alas, it was not to be.

The Liberals nominated a nice Chinese-Canadian lady, who made the mistake of speaking honestly and directly about the ethnicity issue, telling her copatriots that they should vote her because she's one of them and Mr Singh is, errr, a Sikh. As Walt reported in "Most Canadians think Islam, Sikhism bad for their society" (WWW 17/11/17), most Canadians think... [We get it. Ed.]

For telling the truth, the Liberal candidate was forced by her own party (Just In Trudeau, Prop.) to step down. However, the local Liberals showed a bit of backbone and nominated another Chinese-Canadian, one of the three gentleman shown in this picture, taken a couple of days ago just before an all-candidates debate.

That would be Richard Lee, the one in the grey sweater. The debate moderator, at the far left, is explaining the ground rules to Mr Lee and all the other Burnaby South candidates, including Jagmeet Singh -- the one wearing the turban and the most expensive suit. [I thought all socialists dressed in tweed jackets and corduroy pants. Ed.] So now you know who two of the candidates are. Of the remaining four, two are independents, one is a Conservative, and one represents Maxime Bernier's new People's Party of Canada. Today's quiz: Which one is the PPC candidate?

If you guessed it's the only woman in the crowd, you're right... and so is she! She's Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, who has a pretty good shot at making a race of it, given that Canada's Conservatives are just a hair to the right of the libtards. Jay Shin, the Conservative, is on the right only in the picture. The independents, left to right, are Terry Grimwood and Valentine Wu.

Ed. has told me that we don't have any prize for this one, other than the satisfaction, if you're a supporter of the PPC [and if you aren't, why not?! Ed.] of knowing that you instinctively chose the kind of candidate you'd be right to vote for!

Syrian refugee charged with murder of 13-year-old BC girl

This is... or was... Marrisa Shen, a girl from Burnaby BC who didn't live to see her 14th birthday.

She was last seen leaving her apartment building around 1800 on 18 July 2017. Surveillance footage later showed the teenager entering a nearby Tim Hortons minutes after she left her apartment across from the city's Central Park. She stayed there for an hour and a half. Her family reported her missing to police at 2330, and her body was found in the brush in the southeast corner of the park a little more than an hour later. Police have not revealed how she was killed, nor if she was sexually assaulted.

Last Friday, Ibrahim Ali, 28, of Burnaby was charged with the first-degree murder of the young girl. The sum total of what the police and the lamestream media are saying about the accused is that he is "a Syrian national and permanent Canadian resident" who arrived in Canada "17 months ago". By my calendar, that would be around Valentine's Day of 2017, or about four months before Marrisa was killed. He was arrested in Burnaby on Sept. 7.

Disregarding M-103, Walt has some innocent questions: What is Mr Ali's religion? Is he by any chance a follower of the Prophet? Is he one of the 50,000 Syrian refugees that the arch-virtue-signaller Justin Trudeau, brought to Canada in a fit of misguided humanitarianism? If not, how did he get to be a permanent resident so quickly? What was Mr Ali's employment status at the time of his arrest? Was he working, or sponging off Canadian taxpayers like so many of the other 49,999?

A prize will be given for the first reader to spot the word "refugee" in any version of this story appearing in the Canadian media. Send a .pdf file or screenshot to Ed. at the usual address. Earliest time stamp wins.

UPDATE ADDED 1800: The contest announced above is over. Our very own Ed. hunted up the Vancouver Sun and found "Ibrahim Ali, 28, charged with first-degree murder of Burnaby teen Marrisa Shen", which includes this paragraph: Ali is a Syrian national and a permanent resident who came to Canada 17 months ago, Richardson said. She did not know whether he was a privately-sponsored or government-assisted refugee, but believed he does have family in Burnaby and is employed. As if there was any doubt about the "refugee" part.... The last two words came as a surprise though.

FURTHER VIEWING, added 11/9/18: Here's the report (with full credit to the Vancouver Sun) by Sheila Gunn Reid of The Rebel.Media.
