"notley" Discussed on MEDIA INDIGENA : Indigenous current affairs
"Actually, what you just said reminded me of the preamble to the bill. Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada act. And the first line, because you were talking about indigenous peoples, their pre Canada ancestral rates and their uniqueness as first peoples, tell me what you guys think about this very first whereas in the preamble. Quote, whereas albertans possess a unique culture and shared identity within Canada. It almost seems to put it at least morally on the same plane as all the indigenous peoples who have had the misfortune to have the borders cross through their territories. I don't know what's unique about Alberta, other than there's a yeah, there's an arbitrary line done one meridian matching up with another one down another. Truck nuts? Other than screaming about equity could he payments to Quebec? Is that part of our unique cultural heritage? Well, maybe they're just, you know, setting the stage for secession based on this purportedly unique culture that none of us can seemingly describe. Well, it does seem like Alberta has had a unique political culture for a long time. I think have to be careful using the word culture in that context though, because it does mean something different when it's say anthropologists talking about it or indigenous peoples talking about it. But in terms of Alberta has always seemed to be a little bit different and I'm thinking about that going back right through the 20th century. You ended up having kind of unique resource extractivist governments, generally covered by conservatives for a very long time except for the little Rachel notly NDP blip. And they tend to be quite adversarial with the federal government. So in kind of makes sense that this legislation would come from Alberta and I've seen comparisons with the Quebec sovereignty movement as well, sort of suggesting that these are somehow in parallel. I don't really think that's the case. And I think that's why they were careful about tacking on the Alberta sovereignty act in the united Canada. The united Canada part, I think, is to try to distinguish that from Quebec sovereignty. But yeah, I guess that's what they're trying to express is essentially like there's a history there of Alberta against the federation and they're sort of putting that in that putting this legislation in that historical context. As if this is another round in a long fight for Albert and independence and freedom. So what are the odds we're going to see a whole slew of First Nations pass their own sovereignty acts? Well, yeah. I mean, I think join the party. But it isn't that part of why there was the shift to first nation instead of Indian band. I mean, essentially it was like a very symbolic move that didn't really change anything. It might have had a change in terms of self perception and I think in terms of indigenous or First Nations nationalism. But yeah, in terms of actually changing the legal relationship with Canada, it didn't do that. All right, I'm looking at the hansard from December 1st, 2022 because I have nothing better to do and there was an exchange subtitled Alberto sovereignty act and indigenous rights. It's an exchange between the leader of the opposition. Rachel notley and the leader of the UCP, the premier, Danielle Smith, and they go back and forth about, you know, chiefs have spoken, they're really not happy about this. And Smith says two things. Quote, I've been delighted to have chief Billy morhen as part of my advisory team. He's from Enoch creation, which is part of treaty 6. That's just an aside by me, back to the quote. And he's going to work very hard with us to make sure that the chiefs understand that this approach that we're taking in the government is to make sure that we have economic reconciliation with our First Nations partners. It's very clear in the sovereignty act that we will respect indigenous rights, respect treaty rates. In fact, I think our approach of economic reconciliation, landing out a hand to work together on major projects going across our province and our country is what's going to lead to the best relationship with our First Nations people to which not only replies while it mister speaker impacts their rights if you introduce the bill before you ever speak to the treaty chiefs. They go on, they go back and forth. And then Smith kind of, I don't know, I guess she thinks it's a mic drop says we are going to respect the rights of our indigenous people. So, God, people still say that. A it's singular and B it's like as if they're just like a subset. So chief Billy Moore from Enoch. I mean, I guess he wasn't at that press conference saying this bill. I don't know if he was or not. To be honest, but I know that the chiefs in Alberta know where we live and know that we have to we have to speak to our neighbors. Let's just put it that way. We don't choose where our neighbors are. We choose how we relate to them. So yeah, it's not unusual for indigenous leaders in Alberta to seem to be cozy. How it would look, but it's not. They are making sure that their voices are being heard. And I don't know what, I don't know if the chief more and how to respond to how he's being portrayed by Daniel Smith. That would be interesting to find out because I think she's speaking for him in that moment. And also, yes, he's being seen as a water boy in that moment as well. And I don't think he'd be very happy with either one of those depictions. So but at the same time, it's not unusual for a chief to be speaking to the government. We've been speaking to the government's provincial governments all the time. Constantly. And it's just the nature of what we have to do here. And it's no different than I think in any other province, where we have a significant population. And Enoch is right next to Edmonton. It borders the city of Edmonton. The provincial capital. Yes. We should ask. We should add. Yes. So it has a presence in the city. It's really quite funny. Because of the way the city grew and the fact that Enoch then built the casino Enoch is more of a presence in the minds of the people in this city because of those two things. Mine's in pockets. Yeah, well, but before then, though, you'd be hard pressed when I first moved here. More people knew about the communities in habima, which is significantly further in south further south than Enoch is west of us. And unfortunately, largely negative impression, but it's now that the city has grown, people know more about Enoch and everything else like that. So these combinations of things. Where we have to, again, going back to my point, we have to deal with the people who are in power all the time. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure not least parties is talking rather with a lot of indigenous chiefs as well. And kind of waiting to see how this works out. But yeah, I don't see anything on toward or unusual about that. Brock, your thoughts. I mean, or your impressions about with Ken's caveat, maybe Smith is speaking inappropriately on behalf of chief morin, but have you seen any chief kind of get behind this act? I know. But I mean, in terms of, I think that's a pretty good tell when you have people start using terms like economic reconciliation or did not use that language when she was pushing the pipeline?

"I'm excited. This is very exciting stuff. This is a big deal. My guess is doctor Steve notley. Who has discovered biblical Beth saita. And again, we always have to frame this so people can understand how amazing this is. We did not know where one of the major cities mentioned in the New Testament in the gospels where Jesus is there all the time and Peter and Andrew is a fishing village. We didn't know where it was. We know now where all these other places are. But only recently have we have you, sir, determined that this place, which we didn't look at until recently, this place is where it all happened. When did you know that you had it right? Second season, 2017, we excavated. We're digging down through the layers through crusader, Byzantine, and went down to the Roman layers, which is New Testament period. And we found a Roman bathhouse, which was people were shocked. But it actually fits the description. Josephus talks about Beth seda, being made into a Roman polis by Herod Phillip, who was the son of Herod the great. Who was evil? Yes. And his son, again, Philip took this little village and transformed it and made it into a small city of bolus. And this is the first evidence of urbanization in the region, but this is after the apostles era. Yes. Probably 30 around 30, something like that. 30, 31, something along that AD. AD, sorry. Oh, so it's right at the time of transitioning time that Jesus is there. Jesus there right as that transformation is starting to take place. So it's a fishing village. So what are some of the things that you discovered there that you realize we've hit pay dirt? What are the things that you found? We found, first of all, we found lots of fishing weights. So lead fishing weights for the nets. So we know that strong fishing industry also stone first century fishing. Stone, stone implements stone cups, plates, things like that that are part of Jewish culture. When you find stone vessels like that, it's part of the whole kosher laws. And it's a marker. It's a very clear marker that you're in a Jewish place of Jewish settlement, which again fits the description of a big side. And we also coins. You usually date this by pottery, pottery is dateable, as well as coins. We found first century coins, coin dating from 66. So we have early we have evidence of settlement there in the first century, and it fits all of our description of the historical sources of what we should be looking for. It matches it. You find any red and white plastic bobbers, not yet, no, because if you do, I just want to tell you, that's probably not for century..

"Okay. All right, so let's just settle on it folks. Beth saita has been discovered. What are some of the things that you discovered there that make you realize this is in fact the New Testament Beth seida? First of all, I'm trained as an historian. That's what I do. Reading ancient texts, and particularly historical geography. How does the land, the contours of land match it? So we have ancient descriptions of where josephus the Jewish historian actually tells us describes precisely where it was located. And so that's why when we began to think about excavating, we went by the ancient descriptions, being on the lakeshore, as I mentioned, that's where you would have a fishing village. And near to the Jordan River, where about 200 yards from the Jordan River, which is exactly as josephus describes it. At least. But you know, I wonder, though, why would anybody have ever doubted josephus at all? I mean, if josephus, who is such an imminent figure, such an authoritative figure, put it this way, why would anybody else go with something else? He never just made stuff up. Not everybody takes sufficient attention to historical sources. That's one of the problems. When you approach a question like this, it requires multiple disciplines, not a single one. Everyone gets in their lane, stays in their lane, whether it's archeology or history, or and they don't get out of their lane. I have noticed this. But this is what's so fascinating is that all of these big fascinating puzzles tend to be solved by people who have the guts to step back and look at several disciplines at once. Because when you just look at because there's some people that almost make an idol of their discipline and they say, it's only about archeology. It's only about stones and other people are like, no, it's only, but and you realize it's going to be all these things, usually. Exactly. It's a multidisciplinary approach. And when you do that, when you get out of your lane and you start having the information, if I can say it like this, bump up against each other. And to creating a friction, you start saying, oh, I have to look at it in a slightly different way. So that's what happened in this situation. We began to look at examine the data, and we were drawn to the location. And of course, we began to excavate. And I think it's fair to say, people have been stunned. No one thought there was anything there. At all. And so as soon as we, in 2017, we found a Roman bath, which is no one expected it. But it's part of the, it's part of the description. This look, this is so good. We're going to go to break. This is so exciting. You have discovered biblical, beside, it's open and shut. We'll be back with more details.

I would there are we have on either side of us, we have capernaum, and we have a place called cursi, which was ancient gergesa, where the casting out of the pneumonia. A demon's from the door. And both of those places on the Lake, there are churches and synagogues to be seen. That's an unusual combination to find those together. We have a church, we have we found a basalt lioness. Which about half of ton lioness and that is oftentimes a decorative element in the synagogue. So it wouldn't be it wouldn't be outrageous for us to suggest that it's possibly a synagogue there. I mean, we don't have one. We have. So wouldn't they have had to have one? I wouldn't exist. I would expect there to be one. There's no. I mean, if Jesus is there, the apostles are there.

"It's the last one that I think I think today it's the leading candidate people would say fairly conclusively because of what we found in the last 5 seasons that this is verifies that this is Beth sata. So it's the last what I call the last lost city of the gospels. Now, you say that in 1968 in capernaum where they discovered what is claimed to be the home of Peter and there were churches obviously built over that. You take issue with that. You believe that that is misidentified. I do. It is definitely a Byzantine church. We have evidence a church father named epiphanius talks about churches that are built during the time of Constantine. One in Tiberius, magdala, and capernaum, as well as zephyrus. And he allowed them to build churches, but there's no apostolic connection to them. No apples to traditions to them. And what I can say without any question for the first at least for the first thousand years of Christian tradition, Peter never comes from capernaum. Peter always always comes from Beth Seder. And I think John one 44 speaks of Peter Andrew and Phillip coming from bethad. And that is the consistent Christian tradition for at least a thousand years. How far is since I haven't been there? How far is Beth say from capernaum roughly? If you were walking, but of course you have to cross the Jordan. It's about 5 miles four or 5 miles, but it's, again, we're on the trans Jordan. We're on the other side as the gospel spirit. And they would come by generally come by boat. And how far are these places from Nazareth? That's another, I'd say from capernaum to Nazareth, I'm probably the only person you'll ever interview who's walked from Nazareth to capernaum. It took my students one time and we began early in the morning. It's almost 30 miles. Wow. It's a long day. But it's just fascinating that we can go to these places that we've read about and it does come alive and that's why this is so exciting. Now, there is a website.

"Boom. Boom boom. We're talking about biblical archeology, which I get pretty excited about. I get excited about archeology in general, but more recently biblical archeology just because I dove into it my most recent book is atheism dead. It's so fascinating that we are discovering things that have been hidden for literally 2000 years. We've wondered whether we might ever discover these things. So it's not a question of where is it? The question is, could we ever find it? And you and your team have found Beth sata. So anybody who's reading the gospels, Matthew Mark, Luke and John, you bump into this place. Now we know where it is. And we're excavating it and trying to uncover as much as we can of the site of not only the village, but what became a small city there on the northeast shore of the sea of galaxy. That's another thing too is that all this stuff is so fluid. I mean, when we think of it frozen in amber circa 30 AD, you realize no, according to what you were saying earlier, the son of Philip harrod philippi, whatever his name is, he decided to make this place into something grander and so you said a Roman baths there. They wouldn't have been there in Jesus day. No. And they're part of, again, they're part of if I can say the urbanization of the village, it was a small Jewish fishing village. Yeah. That Harold Phillip decided. It's at the southern end of his kingdom. If you think of accessory of philippi, but you sort of alluded to, that's at the northern end. This is at the southern tip of his kingdom on his territory on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. And so he transforms it into a small polis, a small city. Do you think he had as his ambition to wipe out the Christian history? It doesn't sound like it, but because there were cases when obviously these Roman leaders want, they just wanted to wipe out what was there and they build a temple of Artemis or a temple. He's Jewish. While these Jewish, but he would have, but no, we don't have any, we don't have any indication of persecution there. Okay. At least in the first century that we know of. And the area of accessory of Philip sata. And then you're saying that there was a major flood to the Sea of Galilee in fact rise to the point where you said this was silted over for some decades. According to the geologist, this is the Celtics from the Jordan. The Jordan flooded. The courts of the Jordan changes occasionally changed in recent times. And it flooded the site and it was covered, let's say by two feet of salt. And so it was abandoned for about 200 years, but the Christians had a memory of where it was and came back and resettled built a church a monastery there on the site. And people can question it and say, well, the business in the Byzantine period they built churches wherever they wanted to build them. But the interesting thing about this is that under the church are Roman first century houses, which says they didn't just build it anywhere. They knew exactly what they were doing. I tell you there's so much crazy stuff going on. It's just hard for us to process. I mean, first of all, it's very complicated, because you're talking about centuries where great changes occur, cities are built on top of cities are built on top of cities. There's flooding. I mean, it's just fascinating to me that we can go back. But we've only been going back for a 150 or so years. So a lot of these places are, but this you say is the last of the major New Testament cities that have been identified to be identified. Yes..

You find any red and white plastic bobbers, not yet, no, because if you do, I just want to tell you, that's probably not for century. That's why it's much more recent. But tell us about the church of the apostles. I was reading about that. Yeah, that's been one of the pleasant surprises. Again, our interest is trying to find New Testament Roman period Beth zeta. The site was abandoned for about 200 years, apparently it was flooded, and it has a silt level of about assaulting over it. And then on top, it has resettled in the Byzantine period. That's the Christian period. Towards the end of the 5th century. And they built a church with a monastery. Now we've read about it in various pilgrimage descriptions, pilgrims who came by there, most scholars thought that these pilgrims were mistaken. And instead, we're back at that again. He actually, but no, this is what's so interesting. And you have forgive me, but just because I'm learning about this now in my own life, it's so fascinating that you realize that one of the ways that you do history and archeology is by tracing things back. And when they discovered Peter's home in capernaum or they discovered things in Nazareth, usually these things are forgotten. And also they are marked by subsequent eras. They'd somebody builds a church over a site and then that gets covered over and whatever. So when you find a Byzantine era church or you find a crusader era church or whatever from all these years later, that is usually a marker that we found the place that was found and marked and then forgotten, we found it exactly. So you're telling me that there were people that they really thought that this Byzantine church that the Byzantine folks got it wrong? Well, that what they did is they claimed that these pilgrims who talked about a church basilica built over the house of Peter and Andrew in betts, they said, oh, they were mistaken. That's actually the 8 sided octagonal small church in capernaum. Aha. And they kept saying, no, no, they were all mistaken. But we found we kept finding evidence clearly that there was a church there. We found little pieces of from tessera, making a mosaic's, except this is out of glass and gilded in gold, which belonged to wall mosaics that only appear in ornate churches. So even before we found the foundations, the walls, the mosaics, we began to find evidence that there was a church there. And we just had to remain patient. Next week, excavated down, we came upon the walls. Of this basilica. It's a large basilica, and it's Fulham mosaics. Again, the mosaics were being uncovered this summer. But this is the church that the pilgrims all identify as being the church built over the house of Peter and Andrew. See, this is what's so fascinating to me is how it all makes sense when you look into it. You think if there were people alive, who knew, oh, that is where Peter lived. Who would not say that's a sacred site, let us market. Let us build a church over it. Let us do something, right? And I'm fascinated by that's one of the ways that we can trace things back. When you discover, you say, hey, here's a church from the 8th century. But why would somebody build a church in the 8th century in this spot? Well, probably, because there was a history of knowing that that spot was where something happened in the first century and stuff. So this is exciting. Now have you published much about this? Is there a book coming out? We are in we've just finished 5 seasons and we're in February. We're going to sit. The team and we'll write up the 5 year report. We've done various articles, peer review articles, but nothing in terms of a volume that will produce a 5 year report on our excavation. And then seek another 5 years trying to uncover we've done an electromagnetic scan and the surrounding area. To see what's like..

"Half recently understands, you don't build a fishing village. And now a 30 minutes away by foot on foot. As I grew up in Oklahoma, and we would say that's a long way to pull your boat. Hey, that's good. That's good. But it's true. So you had this gut feeling. Now I'm sure people would have said maybe the Sea of Galilee was bigger or something. Was that they tried to come up with alternatives. They claimed that the Lake was 20 feet higher, which brought them closer. The problem with that is that if it's that high, it inundates every known settlement capernaum, tiberias, magdala, everything is underwater. So in other words, to solve their problem, they create a whole boatload of other problems. Okay. All right, so let's just settle on it folks. Beth sida has been discovered. What are some of the things that you discovered there that make you realize this is in fact the New Testament? First of all, I'm trained as a historian. That's what I do. Reading ancient texts, how and particularly historical geography, how does the land, the contours of land match it? So we have ancient descriptions of where josephus the Jewish historian actually tells us describes precisely where it was located. And so that's why when we began to think about excavating, we went by the ancient descriptions, being on the Lake shore, as I mentioned, that's where you would have a fishing village. And near to the Jordan River, where about 200 yards from the Jordan River, which is exactly as josephus describes it. But you know, I wonder, though, why would anybody have ever doubted josephus at all? If josephus, who is such an imminent figure, such an authoritative figure put it this way, why would anybody else go with something else? He never just made stuff up. Not everybody takes sufficient attention to historical sources. That's one of the problems. When you approach a question like this, it requires multiple disciplines, not a single one. Everyone gets in their lane, stays in their lane, whether it's archeology or history or and they don't get out of their lane. I have noticed this. But this is what's so fascinating is that all of these big fascinating puzzles tend to be solved by people who have the guts to step back and look at several disciplines at once. Because when you just look at because there's some people that almost think an idol of their discipline, and they say, it's only about archeology. It's only about stones and other people like, no, it's only, but you realize it's going to be all these things, usually. Exactly. It's a multidisciplinary approach. And when you do that, when you get out of your lane and you start having the information, if I can say it like there's bump up against each other and to creating a friction, you start saying, oh, I have to look at it in a slightly different way. So that's what happened in this situation. We began to look at examined the data and we were drawn to the location and of course we began to excavate. And I think it's fair to say people have been stunned. No one thought there was anything there. At all. And so as soon as we in 2017, we found a Roman bath, which is no one expected it. But it's part of it's part of the description. This look, this is so we're gonna go to break. This is so exciting. You have discovered biblical Beth sida. It's open and shut. We'll be back with more details, doctor Steve notley is my guest, don't go away. Tyler Todd. Hey folks, I've got to tell you a secret about relief factor that the father son owners Pete and Seth. Talbott have never made a big deal about, but I think it is a big deal. I really do. They sell the three week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck shoulder back, hip or knee pain, 1995, about a dollar a day. But what they haven't broadcasted much is that every time they sell a three week quick start, they lose money. In fact, they don't even break even until about four to 5 months after if you keep ordering it. Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering relief factor month after month if it doesn't work. So yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are. So if you're in pain from exercise or even just getting older or the three week quick start from 1995, let's see if we can get you out of pain too, but relief factor dot com relief factor dot com or call 805 108 three 8 four 805 108 three 8 four.

"There folks, have you ever wanted to talk to an actual archeologist? Because I don't. But actually, that's not true. Listen, I know if you know me, you know, I love archeology. I love biblical archeology in my new book as atheism dead. A third of the book is devoted to biblical archeology. It's really exciting when you know the details when you know the stories. It's just undeniably exciting. So you can imagine, I was pretty excited when I learned that doctor Steve not lay could come into the studio why you're saying why Eric because he's an archeologist. He's a distinguished Professor of New Testament and Christian origins at niac college and he is at the center of a very, very, very exciting New Testament dig, doctor Steve, Natalie welcome. Thank you for having me here. You can tell I'm bursting with country fresh flavor over this issue. I just can't. Where do we start? Just tell my audience, the nutshell version of what you are privileged to be working on right now. I like to describe the site as the last lost city of the gospels. Most people don't realize they go to Israel, they visit there. They get off the bus. There's a sign, telling them their accessory, or mojito. They don't realize that almost all of these biblical sites got lost. They were destroyed, abandoned, forgotten. And we've been in a process for the last 150 years of rediscovery. Okay, so when you say got lost, you're saying over 2000 years, we lost track. So in the last 200 years, roughly, we have been finding the places we've read about. We've been showing that they exist that they're true. But you're telling me that the one that you're working on now is the last one. This is the one that we did not know where it was until recently. Exactly. There was an alternate site suggested about a mile and a half from where we are. They've been digging there since 1987. But it had problems. And there were a lot of hesitations people weren't willing to sign off on it being Bette, which is an important site. Apart from capernaum and the Galilee, it's the second most mentioned site in the gospels. Okay, so when you say Beth's bits say debt, for people just tuning in, why is that important? What happened there, according to the gospels that we would know about. It's the home of Peter Andrew and Phillip. So Jesus is apostles are coming from there. It's also in the region of beta where the feeding of the 5000 takes place. You also have various healings taking place there, Jesus ministry of healing. Whenever he gets into the boat to go to the other side, that is Beth Satan. That is translated. You're telling me until 5 minutes ago, we did not know where it was. Not until we started excavating. And now we know. Yes. And we're excited. It should be. You should be. This is a big deal. It is a huge deal. I thought Peter was from capernaum. No. But didn't they have a home? What's in capernaum? He anyway, we'll talk about that another time. But so you're telling me that until this dig, which leading, we didn't know. When did you know and how did you, as I have looked into this world of biblical archeology, I've found it interesting that people sometimes settle on identifying something. They're not sure, but they kind of settle on it because it's the best bet. And years pass, and then later they realized, no, no, no, it's over here. That's basically what happened with Beth site. Exactly. Again, there's often times there's various disciplines that are used to try to identify a site. Archeology is usually the last word. Let's say it comes in and confirms whether there are material remains that match the historical descriptions. And sometimes we find that places that were previously thought to be a particular location are not. And that's what happened in this occasion. And it's there were questions being raised. There were various suggestions already in the 19th century as to where it might be. One of the sites, as I mentioned, an Israeli archeologist was excavating there. But it's about a mile and a half from the Lake shore. And one of the things we know about beza is that it is a fishing village. And you don't build a fishing village, a mile and a half from the Lake. So what happened? They began digging there and they dug for 30 years. And again, there were questions raised about it. Various people raised questions. I published in 2007 in a peer reviewed journal. Challenging that site started a huge conversation and basically we were challenged if we thought it was someplace else we should excavate it. See, I love, I love the way this works. And again, it's only because I wrote my recent book that I've started to understand how this works because a big part of my book I talk about the discovery of biblical sodom, doctor Stephen Collins, Albuquerque. And it's the same thing where eminent biblical archeologists had sort of settled on a couple of other sites. And when you looked into it, you said, well, they've got some those sites have some real problems. So if you were an archeologist, you'd say, gosh, I wonder if we could ever find the real thing. And that's kind of what happened with you, right? I mean, you said that this place, yeah, it could be it, but if it's a fishing village, I mean, anybody who's walked a mile and a half recently understands, you don't build a fishing village. And now a 30 minutes away by foot on foot. As I grew up in Oklahoma, and we would say that's a long way to pull your boat..

One of them is the gasoline and fire conversation. We had trudeau. Yeah justin trudeau. You don't want to necessarily step in it. Maybe be accused of cheering on the province having failure in the healthcare system. You don't want to be perceived as somebody who is just paying too politically calculating on it. So maybe you've just sort of step back a bit and and take on more of the serious tone of. Oh my goodness yes. It's a very difficult situation in alberta and so it's tough to assess the strategy in in this moment in isolation because of the seriousness of the moment we'll get a better sense of it in the next couple of weeks a couple of months because if the mvp continued to treat them with kid gloves. Like this i think it's an indication that they are actually worried that you know he's he's just swaying there and if they just give a light breeze in his direction he might fall on the mat. Have to deal with someone else carter. We've seen this kid gloves approach in the past. Do you think it's a good strategy for the. Do you even acknowledge. That's what's going on.

The Big Story

"Who may not have been following that provincial election or the results maybe we could start with what happened in nova scotia on tuesday. Well i have to say jordan. This is my eight election. Since i created three thirty eight canada and it is the first one that i will have gotten wrong So this is a humbling experience. Obviously it is not the nightmare scenario of the poles being correct and knee. Being wrongs the polls were off the mark. And that's why the seat projection was wrong but For those who didn't know the progressive conservatives in nova scotia won the election very close majority and the liberal the polls were predicting a liberal majority. Not just a month ago India winning days of the campaign. We saw that. The liberal lead had faded away and it was almost tie in the few in last bowl so momentum was on the pc side than we all saw this but it's gonna be very interesting to analyze this data and of course just before one month before federal election. The poles being wrong in a provincial election does not inspire confidence yet. will i mean. That's where we wanted to look at this. Which is a lot of people this morning are saying that this should be a real warning to trudeau and the liberals about starting an election with the big lead and watching fade fadeaway. I would say this. This observation is generally correct. All the time I think it's been demonstrated in canada. Many provinces at least that one should never ever take the electorate for granted a. You should never go into an election campaign on cruise control. We saw it many times. Just in the last decade plymouth. Why in the twenty fourteen thought. She was going to get a majority. She called her snap election and she lost and her party. Now is decimated. We could think the year after that. In alberta jim prentice also went into an election thinking it was going to cruise to another majority and rachel notley end. Ep won a majority and so there are many examples. Like this that if you take the electric for granted if you cruise controlled through a campaign of the voters will notice and they won't like it but to go back to the polls for a second I'm looking at the data that sir showing this morning. It's very different from what we saw last night because they kept counting the votes throughout the night and this morning and the polls will have been wrong but not atrociously wrong like yesterday. So it'll be very interesting to see how long it takes to get the default count and of course when the federal election comes then. We know that many canadians will probably vote by mail. Many canadians will go to advance. Polls to vote early Will we know a winner on the night of the election. Will we a red mirage or boom arash. Something similar that happened in the american election where we saw trump leading in many key states on the night of the election in the ended up. Losing those states. it'll be very interesting to know. And it is a very humbling experience. Yes it is. Well let's talk about the nuts and bolts of them. Because that's why we wanted to get you on so i with nova scotia compared to a federal election. I am imagining again. As a lay person that there simply aren't as many poles or or isn't enough quality or maybe not enough quality but isn't as much quality as you would get an federal election. How do provincial polls especially in. Small provinces tend to stack up to national polls. Well you would be correct talking about quality. I would say even the best pollsters in this country those who have a high ratings on my website they tend to miss those small provinces because it's much harder to reach enough people or at least a representative sample of the people So we only had three polling firms on the sealed in this election and all of them published small sample size foles in so. It's it's apples and oranges. Compared to a federal election or to autistic or ontario election where we have at least ten posters and pulling regularly every weekend we can see the outliers but for example just six months ago when ian ranking dea outgoing premier of nova scotia Took the reins of the liberal party. There He was leading by over twenty points over. The pc ano-another campaign began that lead had melted to about ten points but a ten point lead is should be really enough to win a majority And then it is operated. It looks like you will lose the popular vote by two or three points will have to wait for the final count so Deposed did see momentum. Shift as i said but they missed the final count if that were to happen at the federal level. If such a missed would happen at a federal it would be a catastrophe because it would mean at least ten or maybe a dozen firms will have missed the vote. And that's why rarely happens with big sample size. When many polling firms are on the field will before we get into the federal stuff. Then maybe just because the last time we spoke to you i believe was the two thousand nineteen election maybe for our listeners. Who are new since then you could just sort of quickly explain what three thirty eight candidate does and how you're different from the firms that you're mentioning in these polls absolutely isn't so okay so pulling firms tried to to to get the popular vote correctly. They tried to predict the popular votes of the electric because they basically do market research for many private firms. This is a way for them to attract publicity may be show that their numbers can be relied on what i do with routier. Thirty eight canada. Is i take past election. Results take pass. Foles and demographic data from the canadian census. And i tried to make a prediction on. Who's going to win. H every writing at the federal level but at the federal three hundred thirty eight writings and so i go into these writings. I look at the history. Look at the demographics. And with the polls the federal goals the regional bowls that we have. I tried to make a prediction on how it's gonna turn out and it's been mostly good since i've started. It's not supposed to be perfect. It's not meant to be perfect. Because of course it's statistics and there's uncertainty and humans has you know can be human beings can be very volatile. Sometimes they're unpredictable but Before the nova scotia election. I had covered seven elections in canada If you take all the electoral districts all the writings. It was over eight hundred writings that i had predicted and i had the right winner in over ninety percent of that i will. We will add nova scotia election. I think is gonna go down. Maybe to eighty eight or eighty nine percent. I'll have to wait for the final results. But i'm confident that i can call maybe nine or.

That aren't really hear much from from outside perspectives but a lot of them have some some big followings. Yes i think that there are. They're also responsibilities are on social media companies to really stop mistruths misinformation whether it's twitter or instagram more or or talk as well we should be sort of making sure that people are banned or they have a period of time that they're not allowed to post if they're posting misinformation if your influencing people not to get vaccinated then that seriously puts their life at risk and so. I don't think that that should go without any consequences. I think there's all about like free speech. We're happy to sit of.

Sometimes these posts they can same legit or someone telling you. Something can feel real. What some red flags to look out for so you can spot misinformation ohio vanni. I mean i think the first thing that you really need to do is to listen to your emotions because if something makes you feel really emotional you really need to pose an awesome critical questions. I think that people who are spreading getting information that's designed to harm people they do these very expertly and it's been cleverly crafted to exploit your emotions so you know i think i'll brains. Have many weaknesses and one of them is confirmation bias which is a tendency to want to cherry pick information. That already confirms what we already blade. So i think that makes us really vulnerable to misinformation. We know we want to heath when we hear it. We'll pick to believe that and then we want to go ahead and share without asking any critical questions for so i think that's the first thing and then after that i would say that the two most important critical questions you can ask about pay of information that's given to you is. What is the evidence he ah who is behind these new museum. Who was behind this information. So what's the evidence who's behind it. And i think that you know about those questions. You need to engage what we call it Often referred to his lateral rating. That means don't decide if it's legit by staying in the video by staying in that person's account by staying on the website you have to go outside of that In order because as you said sometimes he stuff is really sophisticated at all very legitimate. You contacted the quality of something by staying inside if you need to go and open.
