00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Folks, we have some breaking news
00:00:07.080 for you. This is an exclusive story from Juno News and The Candice Malcolm Show. We are reporting
00:00:12.020 today that the CBC, the Canadian State Broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has hired
00:00:18.340 temporary foreign workers through its program. They have issued labor market impact assessments,
00:00:24.700 which means that they are looking for people who fit a certain job, and when they can't find it,
00:00:30.040 they can go ahead and hire temporary foreign workers. They have hired 20 of them, according
00:00:35.200 to records and documents obtained by Juno News. This is really unbelievable, okay? You have the
00:00:41.580 State Broadcaster of Canada, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the organization that claims to speak
00:00:46.660 for Canadians and represent Canadian culture and basically be Canada, right? And yet, they are 0.81
00:00:51.800 hiring foreigners. They are participating in this program, temporary foreign worker program, that
00:00:57.600 places foreigners ahead of Canadians. This is really unbelievable. I'm going to walk you through 1.00
00:01:02.160 it. So the most recent approval for a temporary foreign worker came in Q3 of 2024. This dates back
00:01:08.200 over the past decades, but 20 people over the past decade have come through this temporary foreign
00:01:14.060 worker program. And the individual jobs that they have hired for, I mean, it's absurd, folks. Computer
00:01:20.840 programmers, computer network technicians, business management consultants, marketing research and
00:01:27.420 consultants. You have announcers and broadcasters, broadcast technicians, web designers and developers,
00:01:33.480 and interactive media developers. So the CBC with a straight face is claiming that they cannot find
00:01:40.060 those people in Canada, that there are no people in the country that fit the description for their job,
00:01:46.100 and therefore they have to go abroad and recruit foreigners to come and be broadcasters and
00:01:52.000 announcers at the CBC, to be technicians, to do web design, to do web development. It is just patently,
00:01:59.160 patently false that you can't find those workers in Canada. I mean, look around. How many unemployed
00:02:05.660 journalists are there in this country? How many people have been laid off from places like the CBC and
00:02:10.780 the Toronto Star and other legacy media broadcast companies because the legacy media is dying because
00:02:16.860 Canadians aren't tuning in? And yet they say that there's no Canadians that fill these jobs and therefore
00:02:22.660 they had to go through this scam program in our immigration system, the same scam program that is now
00:02:28.620 letting in hundreds of thousands. Remember, we reported earlier this week that there was supposed to be a cap and
00:02:33.420 the Liberal government has already blown through the cap after just six months of data. The system is broken and
00:02:39.240 even the state broadcaster is partaking and taking advantage of this broken system. And to talk a bit
00:02:47.720 more about this, I'm pleased to introduce Alexander Brown. Alexander has a show here at Juno News called
00:02:52.980 Not Sorry. He's also the Director of Communications, the Director of the National Citizens Coalition.
00:02:57.680 Alexander, thanks for joining the show. What do you think of our breaking news story here today?
00:03:01.980 Candace, you were right to call it a scam because that is what it is. That is how we're seeing it
00:03:08.420 be used now. It is an excuse to suppress wages, to look for something very specific, sort of outside of
00:03:16.720 the Canadian sort of normal job stream. Anyone from now we know CBC employees to bakers, butchers, 1.00
00:03:26.500 certainly truck drivers, which we go into on my latest episode quite in an in-depth manner.
00:03:31.620 Even those who worked on the temporary foreign worker program before 2015 with Jason Kenney,
00:03:39.920 those key advisors, I've spoken with all of them, they were advising to abolish the program
00:03:45.600 because they saw the trouble coming. They saw that companies were going to take advantage of this.
00:03:51.180 They saw that the wrong government in power would let them. And now this is just completely
00:03:56.140 out of control. And if the CBC were, if it were to even be sticking to its mandate as the Canadian
00:04:03.940 public broadcaster, they shouldn't be hiring a single person using the temporary foreign worker 0.88
00:04:09.260 program. Well, 100 percent. There is no need to, right? Like we run Juno News. We have a whole bunch
00:04:14.440 of journalists, both on the True North side and the Juno News side. There's no reason to hire a
00:04:18.140 foreigner. The news is based in Canada. The audience is Canadian. We deliver Canadian news. And we're not 0.98
00:04:23.240 taking a billion plus dollars a year from the taxpayers. I cannot imagine for a second why the
00:04:29.200 Canadian Broadcasting Corp would need foreign workers. And you're right to point out that the
00:04:34.120 writing has been on the wall with this temporary foreign worker program for forever, basically.
00:04:38.440 Like, I don't understand why we need to import cheap temporary labor, right? It's one thing to say,
00:04:44.900 hey, look, Canada wants to help grow the economy. We want to give people from around the world the
00:04:49.840 opportunity to come to Canada legally. And we're going to pick the best and the brightest and they
00:04:53.180 can come and they can become Canadian. They can join the Canadian family, become have Canadian
00:04:57.100 citizenship. But the idea that we're going to just like temporarily bring people in to undercut the
00:05:01.960 job market, to have cheap labor. And yes, it is being driven in large part by big corporations that
00:05:07.780 just want cheap labor. I want to talk a little bit about these labor market impact assessments,
00:05:12.640 because this is part of the scam, right? It's like you put out a fake job posting, basically saying,
00:05:18.040 oh, we're looking for this very specific, very niche position. And if you can't find it,
00:05:22.940 then you get to turn around and get a temporary foreign worker for the CBC. It's interesting,
00:05:29.180 because in our data on these labor market impact assessments, it shows that these are high wage
00:05:34.260 jobs. These are high wage jobs. That's how they're classified. High wages is all in Ontario. And so the
00:05:40.080 idea that they couldn't find a broadcaster, they couldn't find a web developer in Ontario is just
00:05:45.360 such a joke. And it underlines the idea that this LMIA, the labor market impact assessment program
00:05:51.300 is just, it's fake. It's just, it's just total nonsense.
00:05:55.000 It's the first step they're taking. Like there's, there's this whole whisper network of, you know,
00:05:59.460 how that's actually working out now. But it's like, they, they, they cut right to it because
00:06:03.260 you're offering $36 an hour for something very specific. There's something embedded in the job
00:06:08.300 description that like doesn't quite, you know, shouldn't actually be within the purview of,
00:06:12.260 of, of, of what the role is right now. Michelle Rempel Garner, who's the shadow minister on 0.73
00:06:17.600 immigration, the immigration critic is doing really great work where she's going to like,
00:06:21.680 kind of like the LMIA job bank. And she's just saying like, Hey guys, these are the jobs that are,
00:06:27.480 you know, these folks have already gotten approved for to, to go out to the temporary foreign worker
00:06:32.200 program. And it's just an astonishing range of $36 an hour, well-paying positions that we all know
00:06:40.360 Canadians who would be well-suited for and who are looking. The unemployment numbers are massive.
00:06:46.580 Young men right now, it's, it's 22%. Like that, that's, that's, that's worse than recessionary.
00:06:53.200 Like that is CIBC put out a warning saying, you know, these are recession numbers, but that's worse
00:06:57.740 than that. Well, and what does it say for like the future generation, right? These are young men
00:07:02.520 aged 15 to 24. And the fact that one in four, one in five of them can't find a job that's looking,
00:07:08.060 like what's going to become of these young men. Sorry to cut you off.
00:07:12.280 No, at this point, this is like my entire raison d'etre for doing what I do. I'm so mad
00:07:18.060 on their behalf. I have aged out of the young man demographic, but I see what's happening to them.
00:07:24.420 They're failing to launch. You know, you talk to these guys, you, you, you hear their stories about
00:07:28.760 submitting, you know, hundreds of resumes and it going nowhere. History is, is littered with lessons
00:07:35.160 about idle young men. It doesn't go anywhere productive. And then we're going to turn around
00:07:41.520 and go like, gee, like what's going on here? This is really, you know, unhealthy or these guys are
00:07:46.020 really upset. Of course they are. They have no upward social mobility and the government and
00:07:51.320 corporate Canada are in on it. Well, exactly. And so happy to see Pierre Polyev speaking in
00:07:57.260 Charlottetown PEI yesterday, talking about how Canada is expected to bring in a record number of
00:08:02.940 temporary foreign workers. Let's play that clip. As our young people have a quarter century high 0.87
00:08:08.140 in their unemployment, Mark Carney brings in this year is expected to bring in a record number of
00:08:14.040 temporary foreign workers to take the jobs of Canadian youth, driving down our kids' wages and
00:08:22.120 their ability to earn a living. So while he drives up the cost of housing, preventing them from owning
00:08:26.980 homes, he drives down their wages by allowing greedy multinational corporations to bring in low wage
00:08:34.360 foreign workers that take away Canadian jobs, including in high unemployment regions of this
00:08:40.060 country. Makes no sense. And so Pierre Polyev, I think hitting the right notes. What do you think,
00:08:45.400 Alex? All over it. He's all over it. And that team's all over it. And like to pull back the curtain a
00:08:51.760 little bit, like we all have sources. We all talk to people. They're going to be hitting it really hard
00:08:55.840 in September with revised target numbers, specific stuff, not just a, gee, this is broken.
00:09:03.660 Friend Jeff Russ has a great piece in the National Post talking about, you know, this renewed fight
00:09:08.180 is coming this September. And it has to. Like I spent the summer calling for, with the National
00:09:14.340 Citizens Coalition, you know, responsible immigration numbers, press releases on, you know, don't just buy
00:09:19.540 Canadian, you know, with all that elbows up fervor. And those are down now, but hire Canadian. 1.00
00:09:24.360 And the conservatives see these trends coming. They understand what their sort of modern
00:09:29.600 coalition looks like with young people. And like, they have to stand up for them. We have to stand
00:09:34.260 up for them because the liberals aren't. Well, that's 100% true. And I'm happy to see
00:09:40.040 immigration breaking through. And I hope the conservatives are able to push the needle on 0.97
00:09:44.360 this issue and, you know, go hard because it's necessary and it's long overdue. I want to go back
00:09:50.820 to the CBC because speaking of the National Post, I saw this story in the National Post on Tuesdays.
00:09:56.060 CBC is heading to court to fight an order to disclose subscriber numbers for GEM streaming
00:10:02.000 service. This is a wild story. So for those who might not be aware, the CBC launched its own
00:10:09.200 streaming service like to rival Netflix and Amazon Prime for some reason. I have no idea why.
00:10:14.140 And even though they're a public broadcaster, they get money from the taxpayer, they are here
00:10:19.880 to provide a service to Canadians. They also want to charge you to stream their news network,
00:10:26.380 their 24-hour cable news network. You have to pay $5.99 to do this. And then they also throw in a
00:10:31.680 bunch of movies and series. And when you go on to the CBC GEM website, you'll see that the vast
00:10:39.360 majority, Alex. Like from my count, eight out of the 10 shows that they're promoting were not
00:10:44.840 Canadian, right? Like the whole idea is that they're promoting Canadian culture and Canadian arts.
00:10:50.000 And yet when you go ahead and you look at the shows that they are promoting here, Plan B,
00:10:55.260 so that's the one Canadian show I am not familiar with this program.
00:10:59.160 I think I'll be skipping that one.
00:11:00.300 At all. Yeah, it's a Canadian series, but that's just the first one. You go through,
00:11:04.200 Chateau DIY is a British UK show about like, I don't know, flipping castles or something like
00:11:10.740 that. Fixing up castles. We have Boat Story, which is another British BBC mini series. Next,
00:11:18.380 we have a show called Colin from Accounts, which is a TV series from Australia. We have a show called
00:11:25.280 The Affair, which is a US show. I mean, you get where this is coming from, right? It's like,
00:11:29.600 like, why would Canadians pay a streaming service to watch American shows? The whole business model
00:11:36.580 of it doesn't really make sense to me, Alex. But then on top of that, they refuse to disclose
00:11:42.200 their numbers. So presumably it's a state broadcaster. It's become kind of common place for
00:11:47.440 streaming companies to release their subscribers. Like find out how many people are paying to
00:11:52.940 subscribe, how many people are free subscribers. Let's see how it's doing, whether it's justified
00:11:58.080 from a public perspective. And CBC have been fighting against this access to information
00:12:02.720 request that has been put in by this University of Ottawa professor. So Matt Malone is an assistant
00:12:07.440 professor at the University of Ottawa, and he has been making access information because he just
00:12:11.600 believes in public transparency. We have the right to know, you know, the CBC is charging money from
00:12:16.660 consumers while also charging taxpayers. So let's find out how many people are actually signing up for
00:12:21.740 this program. The CBC is doing everything in their power to block them, to refuse. And so Matt Malone is
00:12:27.820 taking them to court, good for him, and saying, hey, you're the state broadcaster. You answer to us,
00:12:33.500 the citizens and the taxpayer, you know, like have some transparency here. The fact that the CBC would
00:12:39.320 go to court over this is, it's pretty telling, right? My guess is these numbers are pretty bad. What do you
00:12:44.080 think? I think we know why that, you know, this is having to go to court too, is that they know that
00:12:49.380 the numbers are terrible. Like it's, it's, I might like become immediately ostracized from conservative
00:12:56.100 circles for saying that, like, I think the CBC has some utility, but when it comes to scripted
00:13:01.560 and international scripted, what the heck are we doing? At least the BBC, you know, makes things
00:13:06.140 with, with, you know, Benedict Cumberbatch and, and like esteemed thespians. Like we're just getting
00:13:12.600 the world slop and then we're turning around and going, no one's watching and we don't want to tell
00:13:17.540 them the numbers because they're grisly. And, you know, Canadians are being robbed of their purchasing
00:13:22.360 power because our money's worth less because we're wasting money on this stuff. Like shout
00:13:28.100 out to Juno news and your work, you know, at the six month anniversary, you release all those great
00:13:32.220 numbers. Like, look at all these great numbers we're doing. You're being, you know, forthcoming,
00:13:36.880 you know, you, there are no subsidies here. We're reaching tens of millions of people, you know,
00:13:41.380 through the election. I'm sure those numbers were staggering. They know that if they actually,
00:13:46.080 you know, go to market, those subscribers are in the thousands and, uh, you know, the subsidies
00:13:51.560 are in the billions. It's, it's really like, it's such a mismatch and even just to add on
00:13:56.940 to the waste, right? So we have a government agency that for some reason gets $1.4 billion
00:14:02.780 a year from the taxpayers just to report the news, right? To your point, there are many,
00:14:06.960 many free market organizations that will do that because they can find a profit, right? Like they're
00:14:11.880 doing it without the subsidies. And in fact, the other way around, we pay taxes, right? So, you know,
00:14:16.960 they're getting money that way. Then they're turning around and charging people $5.99 a month for the
00:14:20.560 privilege of getting to watch CBC News World. Like why isn't that just publicly available since
00:14:25.080 we're already paying for it with our taxes? And then on top of that, Alex, they're going to go
00:14:28.660 to court and use countless resources to defend themselves against an access to information
00:14:33.560 request, which is part of the public disclosure process. So it should be, I mean, you should do it,
00:14:40.180 right? But instead they're going to spend, who knows, hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of
00:14:43.860 dollars trying to block an attempt at transparency. It's just like their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
00:14:49.940 We could have done the whole episode on this. I can tell you're fired up. Like it's like,
00:14:54.780 for example, like I'm the director of the National Citizens Coalition and that is a nonprofit. And
00:15:00.300 we make the absolute most, the goal is to make the absolute most of, you know, impact and respecting
00:15:07.540 donor dollars. Like I work from home. I limit my business travel. You know, I'm in my shoebox apartment
00:15:14.000 in Vancouver right now. Like it's, they've, they fought tooth and nail to, you know, not disclose,
00:15:20.880 you know, lavish executive bonuses too, because they know it looks bad. Whenever you open up the
00:15:26.440 books and you're, you're not above board and you're, you're trying to pull the wool over people's
00:15:31.620 eyes. Like, like it's going to come out and it's going to look bad and it's not remotely relatable.
00:15:37.480 And that, that darn service that might be useful to people during the Olympics, because they get
00:15:41.960 to keep up with team Canada, the actual team Canada, not the fake liberal team Canada, for that
00:15:47.140 to be 599 is an insult. It should be free. And, but it shouldn't even be free because what are we
00:15:53.060 doing? We could be saving billions of dollars. 100%. Okay. We've got a couple more examples of
00:15:57.880 the ridiculous successes over at the CBC, but first a quick word from our sponsor. So the Trudeau
00:16:03.800 government had laid the groundwork, but now with Mark Carney in charge, it feels like the government's
00:16:08.380 getting bolder about deciding what we're allowed to see online. News stories disappear from social
00:16:13.220 media, content gets blocked, and it's all framed as safety or regulations. We know too well about
00:16:18.920 this, by the way, here at Juno News and the Candace Malcolm show. Some of our best episodes from the
00:16:23.480 election are no longer here. They just disappeared from YouTube, from Google searches. We know exactly why.
00:16:30.060 They're usually the most damning stories about the liberal government that happened to just
00:16:34.400 disappear. Well, folks, that is why I use ExpressVPN. It lets me get around those blocks and access the
00:16:39.980 internet like a free person, which I am. I was born free and I will die free. And it's not up to Ottawa
00:16:45.520 to decide whether or not that's acceptable. Now you can do the same thing. Head on over to
00:16:49.300 CandaceMalcolm.com slash ExpressVPN. It's CandaceMalcolm.com slash ExpressVPN. Viewers of the
00:16:55.800 Candace Malcolm show get a special three-month free when you sign up for a year. Go ahead and do that
00:17:00.520 right now. Okay, Alex, the CBC keeps getting more and more expensive. And every time there's an election,
00:17:06.240 it seems like the liberal government just goes ahead and bids more money to the CBC.
00:17:10.540 If Pierre Polyev had won, I hope he would follow through on his promise to defund the CBC. I disagree
00:17:15.740 with you. I don't think it serves a public purpose at all. Even the idea of, you know, hitting you,
00:17:21.960 doing radio and servicing small communities, it doesn't really make sense anymore because of
00:17:27.720 podcasters and people who go and do citizen journalism. Like I can tell a lot more about
00:17:32.680 what's happening in a small town if there's an emergency or something like that, just going on
00:17:36.580 Twitter or going on X than paying the CBC to have a bureaucracy. Well, you know, $1.4 billion was spent
00:17:44.200 on the state of Bob Crestor in 2023-24. And our friends over at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
00:17:49.220 found out that there is a 65-page list of CBC employees who make over $100,000 a year. It is
00:17:58.340 really, really unbelievable. There are over 200 people at the CBC who earn that high, high wage,
00:18:05.320 including 180 managers, 277 senior managers, 124 directors, 106 senior directors, 28 executive
00:18:15.300 producers. I don't think we know what an executive producer is because usually that's the lead
00:18:19.540 producer. I don't know why you need 28 of those. But it goes on and on and on. There's just so much
00:18:25.220 waste. And part of it, to your point, is that they're paying themselves ridiculous salaries and
00:18:29.580 then they're giving themselves bonuses on top of that. What do you make of it?
00:18:32.560 Yeah. I mean, it's also when you're reading out that list. And first of all, it's very funny that
00:18:37.140 they have their own sunshine list at this point. Like you could, you could, you know, it could be
00:18:41.460 its own Toronto Sun giant, giant thing. But it's, as their managers, it's managerial bloat. It's,
00:18:49.400 it's, these are the same issues that you hear from doctors, like in our healthcare sector, which is,
00:18:54.060 it's like, oh, our employment in our hospital is growing. And it's like, it's just middle management
00:18:58.340 and administrators and another person on a keyboard with like a not particularly real job.
00:19:05.580 That's not, you know, we know we're not serving the public with, with that kind of growth,
00:19:11.380 with that sort of bureaucratic growth. And, and particularly in the case of the state broadcaster,
00:19:16.320 who benefits from, from 10 more executive producers at the CBC when half those people would
00:19:22.080 be for daytime television that's, you know, watched by, you know, 10,000 moms maybe. And it is directed
00:19:29.360 towards advertisers who aren't even getting their dollars worth. And it's being subsidized by us
00:19:34.100 at a time when all of our public services are underwater, like all of them and our purchasing
00:19:41.380 power is underwater. And so you can, right there, I knew I would get in trouble by saying, you know,
00:19:47.580 there's, you know, part of the CBC, you know, there should be some utility or to me there is,
00:19:51.340 but like, you can just cut that whole list. I'm okay with that. We can agree on that one.
00:19:56.880 Well, it is interesting that, you know, you mentioned that there's like the added
00:20:01.160 middle managers and sort of paper pushers at desks that have been added. And you're right,
00:20:05.320 it happens basically at every bureaucracy. I mean, we saw this under the Trudeau government.
00:20:09.920 I think it was that the bureaucracy doubled in size, or that they added 99,000 or 100,000
00:20:16.760 new positions in the federal bureaucracy. Like so many of those roles. I mean, I don't know,
00:20:23.440 I don't know if they're useful or not. Because like you said, they're administrators. It happens
00:20:27.420 in education as well that you have just as many education bureaucrats as actual teachers. And so
00:20:32.720 class sizes are getting bigger and parents are complaining about the diminishing educational
00:20:37.140 standards, diminishing test scores. And instead of hiring more teachers and more educators,
00:20:41.920 they're putting in more bureaucrats who are the ones that are pushing the woke DEI ESG agenda. 0.98
00:20:51.000 And so it's like, it's just such an easy call that these people can't, like, we have to stop doing
00:20:56.420 this. We have to stop creating these jobs or make work programs for university grads that would 1.00
00:21:01.420 otherwise be unemployed, I guess. And then, you know, to make matters worse, the CBC is turning around
00:21:05.360 and hiring foreign workers for some of these positions as well, which is outrageous.
00:21:09.600 It's outrageous. And like, they are make work projects. Like, this is the equivalent of like
00:21:13.740 driving past that construction site where you never see anyone doing anything. And you see the
00:21:17.680 sign that this was like contracted out to the government or Metrolinx or something. It's, it's,
00:21:22.940 who is it really serving? Like, we're just spinning our wheels and wasting our time with this stuff.
00:21:30.200 And a lot of these managerial jobs, like, especially with what's changing quickly in industries with AI,
00:21:36.900 the role of AI, these people are just drone pilots for Grok and ChatGPT. Like they're not,
00:21:43.040 they're not actually doing anything. And like you could, a kid could do that for cheaper coming out
00:21:47.500 of university who were actually trying to launch and were actually trying to build up their upward
00:21:51.980 social mobility. There's no reason for that to be in a hundred thousand dollar position when there's 0.93
00:21:56.700 already 20 of them at the company. And they're just, they're just moving letters and numbers and
00:22:01.600 they're not really even doing that themselves anymore. Well, and it's, it's so interesting too,
00:22:07.340 that like we had this story, I think it was last week or two weeks ago, that the private sector
00:22:13.420 workforce in Canada is now made up, I think it's 20% of temporary foreign workers. And so when you just
00:22:19.560 step back and you look at the Canadian workforce, right, we have this huge problem of youth unemployment,
00:22:23.600 as we were discussing, we have a huge influx of temporary workers who don't really have a stake
00:22:28.220 in our future. Or at least by law, they don't. I mean, maybe they want to transition to become
00:22:33.540 permanent residents, but that's not the type of visa that they came to the country on. So the
00:22:37.320 presumption is that they're going to leave eventually, which I don't know why you would
00:22:41.260 even want that in your country, Alex. And then on top of that, you know, you have all of this bloat
00:22:46.120 and all of these kind of middle man, I mean, I wish that we had a more entrepreneurial sense in our
00:22:53.300 country, that we had more people not in like a cushy job in the bureaucracy where they're just,
00:22:59.660 you know, there for the pension and they're taking it easy and not working very hard.
00:23:02.960 We could really benefit from more of this bright, well-educated, smart people going out there and
00:23:09.740 starting jobs and being innovative and pushing the ball forward to grow our economy and create more
00:23:15.440 opportunities for everybody. But instead, they kind of get like lured in to these like complacent
00:23:20.540 positions in the economy. What do you think? It really speaks to Canada's tall poppy syndrome,
00:23:24.780 which is, you know, oh, you're too successful. How dare you? Like we are putting in our own glass
00:23:30.620 ceilings. Like people are, people are seeing the chair that they can graduate into and then they
00:23:35.400 get there and then they just like, okay, I'm done. I'm going to block, you know, all these kids below
00:23:40.120 me. I remember during the election, Tristan Hopper, writer for the National Post, made the analogy that
00:23:45.400 like the carny voters like pulled up the ladder. And then not only did they pull up the ladder,
00:23:49.480 they like threw down a grenade and that's what we're doing. Like it's, it's, there's supposed to
00:23:54.600 be ladders to success. There's supposed to be avenues to explore and get into that. This,
00:24:01.720 this country, I know that like there, there are some who now just view like modern, the modern global
00:24:08.760 economy as just some, like a country's an economic zone. It's not, this was, it's supposed to benefit
00:24:14.440 these kids first and that it isn't, it's just going to make them more upset, drive them into
00:24:20.360 alienation, potential radicalization. It's like, I see what would have happened to me. I come by this
00:24:26.840 shared frustration. Honestly, like I came out of university, I studied poli sci that wasn't worth
00:24:31.960 the paper. It was printed on. I needed to work on campaigns. I needed to work real jobs. I needed to
00:24:36.360 figure it out. And a lot of those jobs were Joe jobs, gardening, pumping gas, you know,
00:24:41.800 you have telemarketing, like, and I wouldn't even have had those now, which means I would have been
00:24:46.040 at home. I would have been upset. I would have been spending too much time on the internet.
00:24:49.720 And I would have been watching all these Canadian charts go in the wrong direction.
00:24:53.080 And, and now we're going to turn around and go like, gee, I can't believe, you know,
00:24:57.320 all these kids are supporting the conservatives or, or gee, all these kids, you know, are really going
00:25:01.640 through it. And, you know, we have mental health crises and, and, and you name it. And it's like,
00:25:06.200 what did you expect? We're abandoning them wholesale and, and corporate Canada and the
00:25:12.040 liberal government and, and all these lousy interests and, and even sort of not so conservative,
00:25:16.680 conservative governments, just, they aren't doing right by them and they have to, and we have to be
00:25:22.360 kind of pricks about this the next little while. Cause you know, come, come September it's it's,
00:25:27.640 if they try to get away with this. No.
00:25:30.520 Yeah, we're done with it. I feel that way too. It's like, I'm done watching my country be destroyed
00:25:36.440 by top down sort of WEF interests. And I don't care, right? Like for so long, they could sit there
00:25:42.920 and say, oh, you're talking about immigration, therefore you're racist. And I'm going to write
00:25:46.440 you off. And for a while, conservatives were kind of flatfooted and maybe saying like, oh, okay,
00:25:51.160 I guess we just shouldn't talk about immigration anymore. Well, that's, that's over now. That's gone.
00:25:54.840 We, you can't use that excuse because it's so self-evident to everyone in Canada,
00:25:59.240 including people who themselves are foreign born and immigrants who came to Canada legally.
00:26:04.680 They can look around and see that the situation is broken and that it desperately needs fixing. Well,
00:26:10.520 Alex, we always appreciate your time and insight and everyone go check out his show,
00:26:14.120 Not Sorry. You're going to see a lot more of his pointed criticisms, especially on immigration.
00:26:19.320 It's a great show. Alex, thanks so much for joining us.
00:26:21.480 Thanks for having me, Candice.
00:26:22.840 All right, folks, that's all the time we have for today. Thanks so much for tuning in. We'll be back
00:26:25.800 again soon. I'm Candice Malcolm. This is the Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you and God bless.
00:26:29.240 you
