Juno News - Canada has been INFILTRATED + police THREATEN Canadians for wrongspeak (w⧸ Sam Cooper)

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show. Today is Wednesday, March 18th,

00:00:09.840 2026. We have a great show for you today. We're going to be joined by Sam Cooper, investigative

00:00:14.820 journalist and head of the Bureau in just a minute. And to let you know, this episode is

00:00:18.820 brought to you by Berna. More on them a little bit later. I want to read one of my favorite

00:00:23.240 comments from the show the other day where we covered the al-Qud state rallies in Toronto,

00:00:30.200 just open Islamist extremists on the march, openly praising Iran's evil dictatorship and government. 0.85

00:00:37.960 And this is all allowed to happen out in the open in Canada. So here is a comment from my YouTube

00:00:42.680 page said, Dear Candace, we, the Iranian diaspora, left our country to come to Canada to feel safe

00:00:48.200 for these terrorists. And now they're freely walking on the streets and marching with their

00:00:52.440 their hateful slogans. This is not the Canada we came to three decades ago. This Canada is really

00:00:57.220 scary. And many of us are thinking about leaving just a few days ago, the report on the SFU prof

00:01:02.680 who was vocal against his terror regime came out and he was killed by two people who live in our

00:01:07.840 city. Canadians are going to be where we were in 1979. And it will be too late to turn this around. 0.97

00:01:14.400 Really interesting to hear that comment. I completely agree. Obviously, my husband was

00:01:18.940 one of those Iranians that fled Iran some 20 years ago with his family. He was a child at the time.

00:01:25.040 And, you know, his parents love Canada. Like Canada is like their, you know, it's their safe

00:01:30.900 place. And they say the same thing to me. I hear this a lot from my husband's family and members

00:01:36.160 of the wider Iranian community that I know, that the Canada they came to in the 90s and 2000s is

00:01:42.340 not that way anymore. And this story of the Iranian math professor and dissident who went

00:01:50.080 missing in February, and it has been confirmed that he was killed. I want to get into the story

00:01:55.200 a little more. And that is why I'm pleased to introduce our guest today, Sam Cooper. He's a

00:01:58.860 frequent guest on the Candace Malcolm show, though we haven't had him on as much lately. So I'm really

00:02:02.580 pleased to have him back and to help us unpack this story. So Sam, welcome to the show. Thanks

00:02:06.720 for joining us glad to be with you candace okay so help us understand this story because it was

00:02:12.360 your reporting that really made me aware of this story in the first place back in february the bc

00:02:17.820 rcmp launched an investigation after this dissident this vocal critic of the iranian regime went

00:02:23.540 missing in can obviously a brilliant guy he's a professor a mathematician um february 5th the rcmp

00:02:29.760 released a photo of him and then on march 6th they said that his body was found his remains

00:02:34.800 were found in Mission BC after search. So this March 13th, 48-year-old Mehdi Ravazian, 45-year-old

00:02:43.360 Arazu Saluti are arrested in connection with the murder. Really unbelievable. So explain like

00:02:50.160 your reporting and what we know so far. It's an incredible, incredibly scary story, especially as

00:02:57.080 you said, for the diaspora that live in fear of this type of event. So I caught onto this story

00:03:03.240 when i first saw reports that uh i hit the the homicide investigators were looking into the case

00:03:09.000 because i recognized quickly that uh this man had shared one of my uh 2024 reports from the bureau

00:03:17.540 when i wrote about a beast a vancouver hell's angel who had allegedly worked for iranian

00:03:24.840 intelligence and iranian drug traffickers to target iranian dissidents in the united states

00:03:30.900 So, Candace, you know, this is the type of threat network that I'm an expert on, and that is how the Iranian regime works with Mexican cartels, Hells Angels, all manner of the worst organized crime around the world to target dissidents. 0.89

00:03:46.940 And this man had shared my post and said, we in the community need to be working with Canadian experts to educate the public about this threat of the Iranian regime. 0.84

00:03:58.280 So when I saw that he might have been murdered under suspicious geopolitical circumstances, of course, my mind turned to, could it be someone that has, you know, a concern with this man's very vocal calls for regime change this year?

00:04:15.140 And it turns out that we don't know the motivations of those two individuals charged in the case.

00:04:21.880 There are some reports that they may have been supporters of the exiled prince.

00:04:27.440 Other people, other experts say, well, they easily could be sort of false fronts that are also working for the regime.

00:04:35.540 It all points to the fact that the diaspora clearly wants a deeper investigation into this case.

00:04:41.660 And as you know, Candice, none other than Erwin Kotler is among the luminaries in Canada targeted by these threat networks.

00:04:49.140 So it's a it could be a deep it looks to me like a deep, dark case, probably pointing to some sort of external influence from Canada.

00:04:58.280 It's honestly terrifying. I'll just tell you a little personal story, Sam.

00:05:01.700 When I first was getting to know my mother-in-law, I was working for the Ontario, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:05:08.440 I was the Ontario director. My job was to be critical of that government.

00:05:11.360 and I would go and do press conferences. I testified in front of a committee in Ontario

00:05:16.520 once. I remember my mother-in-law was like terrified that this is what I did for a living

00:05:20.280 because in mind, you know, you shouldn't criticize the government. You really shouldn't do it on

00:05:23.920 television and very publicly. And I remember like kind of like almost thinking it was like

00:05:27.620 cute that like someone, you know, would think that Canada would, you know, in Canada, we have

00:05:32.360 these free speeches. We can criticize the government as part of our God-given right.

00:05:36.040 And it's upheld. You know, this is like 15 years ago now, right? And here we are, like, it's crazy

00:05:40.940 to think how much the country and the government has changed that like her fears you know from 15

00:05:46.780 years ago are actually very real today to the point where you know we do cover dissidents to

00:05:51.980 get harassed and you know the jewish community in toronto getting harassed but it's it's beyond that

00:05:56.380 it's actually you know people going missing and being murdered and being targeted for criticizing

00:06:02.300 a government in canada it's just it's just it's so unbelievable that i i have a hard time even

00:06:06.700 grappling with what Canada has become in 2026. That resonates so deeply with me, Candice,

00:06:11.640 because as you know, I work with the Iranian diaspora, the Chinese diaspora. We know for a

00:06:16.240 fact that there are allegedly hundreds of regime officials living in Canada. As I say,

00:06:23.340 through intelligence, working with Mexican cartels and the Hells Angels to target the community,

00:06:28.360 the Jewish community is living in deep fear. And to your point about it's not the same Canada

00:06:33.220 anymore. Candice, I've told others that I testified on Chinese threats to Canadian politicians in

00:06:40.260 2023. Two days later, the RCMP came to my door and said they had learned of a credible threat

00:06:46.060 against myself for reporting on China. So it's everyone in Canada that's living under this

00:06:51.600 threat of what can we say publicly anymore? And, you know, I try to educate the public as much as

00:06:57.960 possible that if they're not paying attention to to that and what needs to change in in canada

00:07:03.560 they probably don't really know or love their country it's it's so true and it's so scary how

00:07:08.680 things have come you mentioned that uh there's known 700 uh irgc officials that was from a global

00:07:14.360 news report that came out a couple years ago juno news did follow-up reporting on that and spoke to

00:07:18.920 canadian border services agency that told us that top members of the islamic regime were banned from

00:07:24.840 entering canada in 2022 so they were trying which lets me know that you know some of them probably

00:07:29.880 did get in a senior spokesperson for the cbsa told juno news that they reviewed 17 800 applications

00:07:36.760 that they deemed potentially inadmissible this was uh in june 2025 of those the cbsa told us

00:07:43.880 that 20 senior officials were found inadmissible 19 of those were already in canada one has been

00:07:49.560 deported one one one person and they're protecting that person's privacy because they don't want us

00:07:54.600 to know uh to your point erwin kotler the former liberal justice minister uh raised the alarm about

00:08:00.760 him about these rgc sleeper cells in canada he himself was the target of an assassination attempt

00:08:06.840 we've seen assassination attempts we've actually seen assassinations in the united states um but

00:08:10.760 attempts that have been reportedly presumably possibly connected to iran i'm talking about

00:08:16.360 the butler pennsylvania um attempted assassination of president trump or that time candidate trump

00:08:23.480 There was one thing I wanted to raise with you, Sam, and this was former Ontario MPP and

00:08:29.120 outspoken Iranian activist Goldie Gamere.

00:08:32.220 She posted on social media on March 1st, the day after the first wave of attacks against

00:08:37.300 the Iranian regime, breaking, I just received a death threat by Islamic regime-linked hacker

00:08:43.280 group.

00:08:44.460 Okay, she goes on, I'm just going to read this because this is wild and this just made

00:08:47.740 me think of your reporting.

00:08:48.760 it says we the Handala hack team loyal followers of the supreme leader Ali Khamenei declare war on

00:08:55.480 all enemies of Islam in the west our partners the CJNG cartel that would be the Jalisco 0.99

00:09:02.400 remember we reported about the Puerto Vallarta war that broke out between the Mexican police

00:09:08.260 and the leaders it was this cartel and these these these people openly are telling Goldie

00:09:13.400 Gamare in a death threat, that they're partnering with the Jalisco network in Canada, and that 0.78

00:09:19.580 they're going to take out critics like Golda Gamare. They put a $250,000 bounty on her head. 1.00

00:09:27.500 It finishes by Aloha Akbar. We know that this violent Mexican cartel is in Canada. It's active

00:09:34.880 in Canada, in part because of your reporting, Sam. I know you have a recent report about the ties

00:09:40.360 between this network and the opioid drug trade

00:09:44.900 that you've been fearlessly and tirelessly reporting on

00:09:48.380 and exposing the depths of this.

00:09:50.700 So what do you think of all this?

00:09:53.240 Well, I'll get to that threat to the former MPP,

00:09:57.460 but you're right.

00:09:58.400 I've reported for years now that cases like the Ryan Wedding,

00:10:02.700 a Sinaloa cartel boss, former Canadian Olympian,

00:10:07.180 he was working, as I reported first in the world,

00:10:09.840 directly with hezbollah networks running through venezuela running through mexico colombia so it's

00:10:16.480 a known fact and has been for years in u.s intelligence that the iranian regime works with

00:10:22.000 the cartels and it's not just for profit it's to you know the cartels of course are focused on

00:10:28.960 profit but they can provide objectives to the iranian regime there's trade-offs there so as

00:10:35.440 i've said this hell's angels in vancouver that was working with an iranian drug trafficker

00:10:40.720 for iranian intelligence to target u.s citizens the hell's angels work directly with the cartels 0.59

00:10:47.120 and the iranians this is proven and known so to that alleged threat to the former mpp

00:10:53.600 that makes total sense to me the the fiscal cartel they are the they're a militar militarized

00:11:00.640 cartel the the most militarized according to u.s military intelligence they threaten the u.s

00:11:06.880 border with drones according to my um colleagues in texas uh that work in the tech you know a

00:11:15.040 public policy foundation that that provides sort of policy support to the texas government

00:11:20.960 yes uh the mexican cartels including jalisco work with iranian intelligence they're both

00:11:26.960 state-like entities so it would not be uh it would be totally consistent if the regime had

00:11:34.160 we know they have many operatives in in the montreal area right now you juno as well as i

00:11:40.800 have reported on how the mexican cartels have moved to the northern border especially in quebec

00:11:46.880 so i believe that's a serious concern for uh ms gamari for sure well it's it's it's it's shocking

00:11:53.040 to me and it's shocking to hear the cbsa kind of openly admit that they flagged 17 000 people

00:11:59.280 as potentially inadmissible and of those only one has been deported so far the cbsa is clearly not

00:12:04.800 doing their job there was a viral photo that we showed on the show the other day on the weekend

00:12:09.040 a lot of people were concerned about what appeared to be a mullah with his several wives and entourage

00:12:14.560 walking through toronto pearson airport see the women wearing their chadors which is like the 0.99

00:12:19.520 government-mandated dress of Iran. That's what a mullah looks like. Mullahs are the ones that 1.00

00:12:24.640 impose Sharia law in Iran. And so the pictures went viral. People were super interested. Why are

00:12:29.600 these people in the middle of this war being able to fly right into Pearson? Well, we know the CBSA,

00:12:36.080 you know, despite the efforts of probably many hardworking people over there, are failing in

00:12:41.620 large to get people in. What do they have time for, Sam? They have time to scold Canadians 1.00

00:12:46.340 for daring to post pictures. So we have this Iranian dissident in Canada, Bahabarari, who

00:12:52.580 posted, Dear Mr. Carney and Citizenship Canada, please inform us with what type of visa are these

00:12:58.180 regime thugs able to come to Canada while our beloved family members and friends cannot even

00:13:02.240 obtain a tourist visa to visit us? We are now hearing that senior regime figures are fleeing

00:13:06.560 and Canada is their destination. This is deeply disturbing. We've seen reports about Canada being

00:13:11.620 their preferred destination for years, including Israeli intelligence reports that have come out

00:13:16.580 saying they're all trying to go to Canada. Canada is like a safe space for the worst people in the

00:13:22.420 world, I guess, to hide out. Well, CBSA decided to come to the defense of these moolahs and 1.00

00:13:28.560 scold a Canadian activist for daring to post these pictures. This is what the CBSA wrote on social

00:13:34.940 media. I can't even believe this. Taking photos of people in public and falsely claiming there

00:13:39.580 someone else is dangerous and can lead to severe legal and personal consequences if you have

00:13:44.780 concerns about border activities contact the cbsa border watch line cbs is commenting on social media

00:13:51.900 scolding canadians for daring to raise the alarm bell about clearly dangerous people coming to

00:13:56.060 canada what did you make of that sam yeah first of all i i saw that initial post i saw that it

00:14:02.860 It appeared a man that looked like the same person appeared to be at that terror rally the next day.

00:14:10.220 I don't know if it's the same person.

00:14:12.180 I don't know if that's a regime cleric.

00:14:14.060 But what I do know is that CBSA really lacks credibility.

00:14:21.180 We know this is a major, we just talked about a person murdered in Burnaby that could have ties to geopolitics.

00:14:28.780 We know that the diaspora lives in deep fear now.

00:14:32.160 We know that, as you know, the conservative opposition has told the government, you need to start sending these maybe 700 regime figures or their family members out of this country, and it's not happening because we have essentially weak and open borders.

00:14:49.060 I could get into new reports about how, you know, due to a refugee backlog, there was a great report from C.D. Howe recently that said that refugees from countries, including Iran, are let into the country without even an in-person interview as Immigration and Citizen Canada tries to sort of deal with the backlog.

00:15:09.380 So my point here is that the diaspora knows that the borders are open. They know that they're in the gun sites, as it were, for potential assassinations. This is not in doubt.

00:15:21.680 So it's beyond tone deaf. I'll add to this. I've reported very credibly that the CBSA has corruption concerns. This is well known. Even further, to get back to your last point, there's reporting now from a former U.S. intelligence official that says Justin Trudeau let Mexican cartel operatives into the country by lifting visa requirements in 2016.

00:15:47.020 we just talked about how the iranian regime may be working with cartel operatives so the young

00:15:53.100 the uh the woman who posted that concern is completely uh fair to do so and the cbsa and

00:16:01.060 canada's government are the ones that are not protecting people so i could go on and on but

00:16:06.360 that that that social media interaction did blow my mind it does right and it also sort of makes

00:16:13.000 you wonder to your point about like corruption issues or just competency, right? Like this is

00:16:16.880 how you're spending your time. This is how you're spending your resources. The whole backlog thing

00:16:21.280 with refugee immigration really drives me crazy, right? The government is more concerned with 1.00

00:16:25.380 bureaucracy and processing times and having like deliverables to foreigners who are not Canadian

00:16:31.540 than they do actually about the safety and security of our own country. Their priorities

00:16:35.420 are all wrong. I'll just share a quick clip. This is the individual in question, Baha Bahari,

00:16:40.520 the Iranian who posted the photos this is a reacting and this is exactly how I would react

00:16:45.940 if I knew that the government was trolling me on social media and scolding me it's not illegal to

00:16:50.880 take pictures okay it can is a free country it is not illegal to do this and then threatening

00:16:55.520 a lawsuit's insane but anyway we'll just play a bit a bit of this clip here can you believe this

00:17:00.220 CBSA threatened me just to defend mullahs it's been 24 hours honestly I'm still in shock that

00:17:06.860 Canada Border Services, instead of answering my question, choose to threaten me while they

00:17:13.400 are defending mullahs. I simply ask Mr. Carney and IRCC on what basis and with what visas 0.95

00:17:21.740 were these regimes' talks allowed into Canada. Okay, guys, let's be real. Crime is up. Repeat

00:17:28.620 offenders are released on bail. Police responses are slower than ever. And in many places,

00:17:34.300 law-abiding citizens are expected to just hope nothing bad happens. That's not good enough and

00:17:39.980 that's why I'm very pleased today to be telling you about Berna and I'm so pleased to have this

00:17:44.020 partnership with Juno News because I actually own one myself. I bought one before we ever had this

00:17:48.740 deal with Berna. So what is Berna? It is a non-lethal self-defense launcher that gives you

00:17:54.800 real protection without carrying a firearm. It looks like a firearm. It kind of feels like a

00:17:59.700 firearm, but it's not. It's non-lethal. So Berna launchers look and feel like a real handgun,

00:18:04.360 but they don't use bullets. Instead, they fire powerful kinetic rounds designed to stop a threat

00:18:09.460 from a distance up to 60 feet without lethal force. Here's why it matters. You don't need a

00:18:15.320 firearms license. You don't need a background check. There's no waiting period. There's no

00:18:20.020 permanent life-altering consequences if you're forced into the situation where you have to

00:18:25.380 defend yourself. And let me just tell you folks, it's all too real. It's all too normal in Canada.

00:18:29.940 We see stories all the time in the news of home invasions and criminal gangs, and it's scary. And

00:18:35.760 many times it's too close for comfort. Again, that's why I bought one myself. These things

00:18:39.840 are designed to stop. They're not designed to kill. They are a less lethal option made specifically

00:18:45.720 for Canada. So this product is legal in all 10 provinces and it ships for free. Go to the

00:19:24.740 only example sam i have to show this was a little different but still basically we now have the meme

00:19:29.540 police in canada if you post unacceptable things on social media the police are going to show up

00:19:34.080 to your house this video is all over social media yesterday that basically here i'll just show you

00:19:40.160 the video a toronto police officer shows up at this woman's house to scold her and to investigate

00:19:44.480 her for things that she wrote on social media. Let's roll that clip. 0.95

00:20:14.480 Do I seriously look like a threat to you?

00:20:17.180 So just in the context, right?

00:20:18.500 Like over the weekend, we saw open terrorist marches, right?

00:20:21.500 We saw people who were waving photos of the Ayatollah, claiming their loyalty to terrorist groups on the streets in Toronto.

00:20:28.740 Nothing could be done.

00:20:29.340 On Sunday, they showed up at Bathurst and Lawrence, a very Jewish neighborhood with like just ugly anti-Semitic posters dehumanizing Jewish Canadians and trying to intimidate them.

00:20:40.480 Frankly, that's what they're doing.

00:20:42.180 Police can't deal with that.

00:20:43.600 They don't they don't they can't figure out who shot up the Canadian, the U.S. consulate in Toronto.

00:20:48.120 We don't know yet. They're investigating that. They don't have time to figure out these crimes.

00:20:52.080 What they do have time is to harass Canadians. 0.85

00:20:54.960 I could tell you that there's nothing dangerous about that woman. Right. 1.00

00:20:58.040 She's clearly an elderly white lady who is just whatever, writing things that are unacceptable. 1.00

00:21:03.220 I'm not defending what she put. We pulled some of the things that she wrote.

00:21:07.080 She's active on Instagram. So she writes F. Carney and F. His New World Order.

00:21:11.500 when the revolution begins. I want to be up front to help lead the charge against these Zionist 1.00

00:21:16.580 efforts. Revolution is the only solution. I don't agree with that. I don't condone that kind of

00:21:21.100 thing. Folks, probably not a good idea to write this kind of stuff online. Here's another one.

00:21:25.760 She writes, Mark Kearney, you effing traitor. F you, F you, F you. I'm coming for you. You suck. 1.00

00:21:31.740 Twisted F. You will get yours. So that could be seen as a threat. Another one here. Revolution 1.00

00:21:37.340 is the only solution time to storm the house of commons and take our country back not not good

00:21:42.300 not good to write this stuff however we have free speech in canada this woman is not a threat there 1.00

00:21:48.080 are actual dangerous bad guys and terrorists in our city and in our country that seem to get a

00:21:53.240 you know get a pass and you're going to come and intimidate and threaten grandma over here 1.00

00:21:58.440 for her r-rated tweets i mean it's to me it's unbelievable sam what do you make of it

00:22:03.700 Yeah, I mean, it's hard to know where to start. It kind of reminds me of after the Globe and Mail did a story that the U.S. government, you know, is such a threat that the Canadian military is preparing, you know, counter war plans.

00:22:18.300 There was a meme about a grandma saying, down at the curling rink, they're prepared to defend the border against the American invaders.

00:22:25.080 It's like, yeah, elderly people are very confused in this country.

00:22:29.640 And clearly that woman that the post you showed is saying very wrong things.

00:22:33.840 There's a way to handle that for the state.

00:22:36.340 But to your point, these police visits to doors is a waste of resources, obviously.

00:22:44.340 And we have real, we've talked about real concerns of a synagogue shot up, the American consulate shot up,

00:22:51.480 a man in burnaby potentially murdered because he's calling for regime change

00:22:56.280 people journalists like myself getting rcmp knocks on the door that they're reporting their

00:23:01.640 testimony in parliament is followed by serious credible threats this is a state that is totally

00:23:08.440 misdirected i would say incompetent and at some level corruptly turned away from the

00:23:15.400 real threats in this country that's what this i don't know what to call it you know it's it's

00:23:22.360 absurd it's uh it's funny in a way it's sad what this what what this grandma said it's ron but

00:23:29.640 what does this is what i'm saying my bottom line is the state is misdirected and the country is

00:23:35.800 unraveling and people you know uh my my last comment would be well people like you and i

00:23:42.280 are sort of i think trying to tell the people of canada where the real threats are but people that

00:23:47.800 are listening to cbc radio will still be believing that donald trump and his forces are ready to march

00:23:54.440 north of the border so we have a totally confused country right now well and just like i mean i'm

00:23:59.880 sorry i could i could have i looked at that woman's instagram today i went through it and you can tell 1.00

00:24:04.440 that she's harmless right she's just an angry keyboard warrior basically probably a little 0.97

00:24:08.680 bored spending a bit too much time online that's her right that is her right you probably not a

00:24:13.320 good idea to say that we're coming to the house of commons and all this kind of stuff but still

00:24:18.040 mild in comparison to what we're actually talking about actual criminal networks it seems to me that

00:24:22.840 the government and their priorities are just totally focused on the wrong people if you're

00:24:28.120 a white person with the wrong views you will be targeted and another perfect example of this

00:24:32.520 sam is that we learned yesterday that mark carney's government is going to challenge the federal

00:24:37.560 Court of Appeals on the Emergencies Act ruling. So we've had two courts now that have ruled that

00:24:42.760 the Emergencies Act use of force against peaceful protesters in Ottawa was unconstitutional. Justin

00:24:48.600 Trudeau should have never done it. He didn't have the grounds to do it. Two courts have found that,

00:24:53.000 and the Kearney government is going to go for another appeal and try to get that overturned.

00:24:58.920 Why? You know, they want to target people who they can write off as right-wing, people who are

00:25:03.560 hard-working blue-collar Canadians and yet they're not actually going after the real bad guys like

00:25:08.920 the ones who are out in the open um over the weekend in Toronto it's just it's so frustrating

00:25:13.320 what do you think? Yeah Candace I have a little something substantial to add to that my focus has

00:25:18.040 never been on social issues around the convoy or was it a real threat but what I can tell you is

00:25:22.760 during that event I had a very strong source in the RCMP informed me directly that the Trudeau

00:25:30.200 government was pressuring the RCMP to adjust their timeline to put in sort of, as it was explained to

00:25:38.480 me, events that would essentially justify a strong response from the government. So I never reported

00:25:45.020 that in detail. One source, but I've done this with you before, when I have a very strong source

00:25:50.180 that points to what looks like something that should verge on illegality, pressuring the RCMP

00:25:56.880 be to adjust their investigative timeline. I think there's even report that's come out since that

00:26:02.140 kind of support that what my source said was correct. And it points to what I think you and

00:26:07.180 I agree on the government. If you come from a certain ideology, they're very concerned about

00:26:12.520 you, they will target you. And I do think the convoy that that case could speak to it. And

00:26:17.600 let's not forget, we know that Prime Minister Mark Carney back in those days was a very strong

00:26:23.280 advocate of of uh of cracking down on the convoy right he wrote in the globe and mail we talked

00:26:27.760 about this on the show yesterday called sedition and called for them to follow the money and lock

00:26:31.920 down the bank account so they can lock down the bank accounts of you know the people who donated

00:26:36.000 five dollars to the truckers but they can't figure out who's shooting up toronto synagogues and the 0.64

00:26:40.560 u.s consulate like it's it's totally wild and to you and we know we know that the government was

00:26:46.240 relying on mainstream media legacy media reports and going against ceases his reports they were

00:26:52.080 ignoring their own internal government reports, choosing instead to go with what the CBC and their

00:26:57.680 stenographer government journalists like Justin Ling, who was drumming up fear by exaggerating

00:27:03.640 these stories. And I had a debate with him a couple of weeks ago, and I mentioned this to him,

00:27:07.240 that he was drumming up fear and Justin Trudeau was choosing to read his media reports rather

00:27:11.900 than the actual intelligence that they had about the trucker convoy. Our priorities in this country

00:27:17.640 are just so mixed up, so wrong.

00:27:20.520 That's why, honestly, Sam, what you do is so important.

00:27:23.360 There's not really another journalist like you,

00:27:24.980 an independent journalist who is out there

00:27:26.620 taking personal risks to expose

00:27:29.060 the just absolutely insane things

00:27:32.020 that are happening in the country.

00:27:32.780 I really encourage everyone watching

00:27:34.100 to go subscribe to the Bureau.

00:27:36.000 Really, really good work, Sam.

00:27:38.340 Any final thoughts on all of this?

00:27:41.160 No, it's been a great conversation.

00:27:43.100 You helped me unpack some of my reporting

00:27:44.820 and I appreciate what you said.

00:27:46.340 Look, to the people that want to come to the Bureau, I'm bringing sort of an intelligence analyst's skills to reporting on news straight down the middle.

00:27:55.700 The facts, there are threats across the board.

00:27:58.800 And as I say, Canada, it's incontestable to me that Canada needs to make some deep legal reforms or this nation.

00:28:07.720 It's going, it's spiraling down the drain pretty quickly.

00:28:10.820 And I'm not exaggerating.

00:28:12.440 It's happening in real time, like we talked about at the top.

00:28:14.920 It's actually unbelievable to think about what Canada was like 10 years ago and how much we've fallen in just a decade.

00:28:21.060 Sam, thanks so much for joining us.

00:28:22.460 I really appreciate having you on the show and helping us unpack all of this.

00:28:24.800 Thanks so much for your time.

00:28:25.960 Thanks to you.

00:28:27.040 All right, folks, that's all the time we have for today.

00:28:28.520 Thanks so much for tuning in.

00:28:29.460 I'm Candice Malcolm.

00:28:30.040 This is Candice Malcolm's show.

00:28:30.800 Thank you and God bless.
