I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:06.000
So we just did a segment with Bruce Pardee, Professor of Law at Queen's University,
00:00:10.220
talking about Alberta independence and what Canada really needs, a sort of turmoil that
00:00:15.460
might make us change for the better. And I asked him to stick around for another segment because
00:00:19.220
I want to talk to him about tariffs. He had a piece in Epoch Times talking about the fact that
00:00:25.360
free market people, generally speaking, have an absolute revulsion towards tariffs. And yet,
00:00:32.320
in some cases, like he said, even with President Trump's tariffs, they are actually useful and
00:00:38.500
meaningful and serve a purpose. So I wanted to talk to him a little bit about that. Bruce,
00:00:42.360
thanks for sticking around. Oh, great to be here, Candice. Thank you.
00:00:46.300
Okay. So this is a really interesting conversation because we were just talking about
00:00:50.220
Canada and how it exists and the purpose of Canada, what is Canada. And it seems to me that
00:00:54.780
our economy is basically entirely intertwined with our government, that it's hard to even think of
00:01:01.100
an industry in Canada that doesn't have the sort of clause of government in it. And it used to sort
00:01:07.460
of be maybe, I don't know, like a liberal policy that they would reward companies and industries
00:01:13.040
that they like with corporate welfare. I don't see anything different happening under conservatives
00:01:17.540
like someone like Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario. And so it seems to me that when President Trump came
00:01:23.520
in and said, Americans are done being taken advantage of, we're going to hit everyone back
00:01:27.440
with tariffs. The response from Canada ought to be an, okay, we need to like tidy, like sort out our
00:01:32.400
own affairs and maybe stop with all of these subsidies. And yet the response from all the parties
00:01:37.580
were, let's go even more, double down even more with our own tariffs, countervailing tariffs,
00:01:44.200
except for we were the ones that had tariffs in the first place. So I'm wondering if you could just
00:01:47.540
sort of help us understand what's happening here and what your thoughts and opinions are on this.
00:01:52.640
Yes, no, you're, you're a hundred percent correct. It's a, it's a, Canada's response to these tariffs
00:01:59.880
has been pretty rich in the sense that Canada has huge tariffs on its own, own imports, especially
00:02:10.120
and including from the United States. And moreover, we have trade barriers between our own provinces.
00:02:17.960
And so the Canadian response to the Trump tariffs, which was a sort of a haughty, you know, tariffs
00:02:23.200
are always bad for both sides, you know, well, you either believe that or you don't. And if you
00:02:28.640
believe it, then why do you have tariffs already that pre-exist the new Trump tariffs? So the whole
00:02:36.300
thing is a, is a, is political gamemanship, not, not, you shouldn't, you should not take what they
00:02:42.320
say at face value. It's not what they really mean. Well, I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead. No, I was
00:02:47.700
going to say, and, and, and you're, you're absolutely correct that the proper economic response to the
00:02:53.020
Trump tariffs would have been to re-examine what this country does and to see if Trump has a point.
00:02:59.160
And I think he does. I think he does. So if it had been done sensibly, one would have decided,
00:03:09.100
for example, to dismantle the Canadian supply management system. Just, just, just one example
00:03:16.980
of, of the kinds of trade restrictions that exist. But of course that can't be done politically.
00:03:23.180
That's, that's, you know, a sacred cow. And so you have to keep on going down the path that you're
00:03:29.120
on and the path that you're on is, well, we're going to retaliate with our own tariffs, which are
00:03:33.600
silly because that's going to hurt your own people. First and foremost, it's not going to make nearly as
00:03:41.080
big an impact on the Americans as the American tariffs do on, on us. Uh, so it is political
00:03:47.460
gamemanship as far as I'm, as far as I'm concerned. Well, but it's, it's not even just supply
00:03:52.280
management. Like, uh, you know, we, we, we hear a lot of grumblings. Actually, Maxime Bernier,
00:03:55.720
in some ways, the people's party was founded on this idea because when he was running for
00:03:59.340
conservative leader, he wanted to do away with the milk dairy quotas that exist. And Andrew
00:04:03.580
Scheer sort of famously courted those dairy farmers and was able to win in Quebec, which
00:04:07.260
is why he became the leader of the conservative party on like the 17th ballot by half a percentage
00:04:11.140
point. Like it was incredibly close. And, and, and so Maxime Bernier went his own way for a number
00:04:16.120
of other reasons as well. But, you know, that's the one that conservatives and, and, uh, I guess,
00:04:20.940
free market thinkers talk about a lot, but when you look at Canada's like entire, like
00:04:26.000
the big companies in Canada and the big industries, they're all in some ways federally regulated
00:04:31.700
to get special advantages, whether you're talking about the airlines, like your Canada, you know,
00:04:35.540
doesn't see a lot of competition. Uh, the banks, this was a dispute that Trump would talk about
00:04:39.960
whether or not American banks were already, I'm sure you can have an American credit card,
00:04:42.820
but when it comes to like consumer banks, you know, you don't walk down the street and see
00:04:47.260
a Wells Fargo or a chase, you see a TD and an RBC and those kinds of things like, or you
00:04:53.200
could talk about telecommunications and, and, you know, Bell and Rogers, like there isn't
00:04:57.340
competition from American companies. And if there were the Canadian companies probably
00:05:02.140
just wouldn't really exist. Right. And so it's, it's kind of an interesting question.
00:05:06.440
I was talking to someone who, uh, was all, I don't know if you remember a couple of years
00:05:09.620
ago, Target, which is a big American retailer came into Canada and it was this big, exciting
00:05:13.600
thing. I know a lot of people who do their household shopping at, uh, Target in the States.
00:05:18.000
I knew even people in Canada who literally drive across the border to go to Target, such
00:05:21.900
a great store, right? So people were really excited when it was coming to Canada and then
00:05:25.240
it came to Canada, it was terrible. It was a total flop and the shelves were half empty
00:05:28.500
and all the great things about Target that you loved when you, you know, go do it down in
00:05:32.500
the States. Uh, it wasn't there in Canada. And, uh, you know, talking to someone who, uh, was
00:05:37.740
involved in the deal, basically said, you know, we were told that Canada, that we were entering
00:05:41.540
into this 40 million person market and it was a huge opportunity for us. Uh, but then
00:05:46.160
we got there, we realized that really what it was, was like a 13 million person market
00:05:50.640
Ontario and then a whole bunch of other markets we didn't really understand. And that basically
00:05:55.680
exactly what you were describing that the inter-prevential trade barriers make it so that we're not one
00:06:00.840
market, we're divided up into many markets. And so all this is just to say that it seems
00:06:05.900
like without this weird, you know, cask S system that we've created with regards to so many
00:06:11.960
rules in our economy, like with all the restrictions, I know, uh, again, former prime minister, Justin
00:06:18.080
Trudeau apparently said to Donald Trump, if we didn't have all these subsidies, we wouldn't
00:06:22.800
exist as a country, like Canada would be finished. And Trump loves to repeat that line. Uh, you
00:06:27.580
know, it's not something that Canadian politicians ever say to the public in Canada, but it's sort
00:06:31.440
of an interesting concept. What do you think? Yes, I agree. So this is part of the, this
00:06:38.000
is part of the angst in the Canadian, in the Canadian character, if you like, we are dependent
00:06:44.880
on the United States economically, militarily, even culturally. We depend on them. They're,
00:06:52.700
they are our market. And so we can't, we can't function without them. And yet we think we're
00:07:00.820
against them in some kind of cultural sense. And so this is like a kind of cultural schizophrenia,
00:07:07.440
right? We love them when we hate them. We hate them because we love them. We hate them
00:07:11.260
because we need them. Um, Canada is becoming a managed society. Our economy is managed. Yes,
00:07:22.380
it is. We are, our economy is full of protectionism. So people who think, oh, well, you know, Canada
00:07:28.760
is essentially a capitalist society. I don't think so. When we have property in a sense,
00:07:34.960
but our property is now as much of a liability as an asset because of the way our, our governments
00:07:40.740
regard it as a thing to be taxed and regulated and controlled and directed. So we are a long
00:07:47.180
way off. We've, we, we've fallen a long way from what it is that we think that we are,
00:07:53.440
or at least what we think we were. And, uh, it is going to take a kind of, of, of economic
00:08:01.760
and cultural earthquake to, to wake a lot of us up, to realize what we've come to. Our response
00:08:09.800
to the tariffs is just one of the reflections of, of that reality.
00:08:13.760
Well, I, I mean, this, this should be a wake up call, right? Like this entire Trump episode
00:08:19.900
should have been a wake up to Canadians that something needs to change instead. I think
00:08:23.000
can Canadians have the opposite reaction, which is we need to like all double down on this.
00:08:26.880
I'll give you a quick example. Uh, president Trump announced earlier this week, uh, really
00:08:31.040
kind of a devastated move for the Canadian film industry. So the movie industry in America
00:08:34.700
is dying a very fast death. Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our
00:08:38.840
filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood and many other areas of the U.S.
00:08:42.860
are being devastated. And so he goes on and he basically just announces an immediate 100%
00:08:48.760
tariff on any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.
00:08:52.740
We want to make movies in America again. Okay. This is completely true, right? Like the,
00:08:57.600
like I grew up in Vancouver. I have a lot of friends that are in the movie industry and I've
00:09:01.080
been watching it since its inception and it was a government creation, right? The whole idea was
00:09:05.320
that they bribed these movie studios to film movies up in Vancouver just to create jobs. It was a
00:09:10.900
make work program. And oftentimes the government will be spending more money on these subsidies
00:09:15.240
than the jobs would even create. Right. And, and so this is something that's been propped
00:09:19.000
up for, I don't know, 20 years. And oftentimes again, like, like companies will take advantage
00:09:23.640
of it. It's like, you know, we get a tax credit for three years and the idea is that they stick
00:09:27.000
around and then the tax credit ends and the company just up and moves. And, and so Trump
00:09:31.180
is just saying like, you can't do this. We're going to hit you back. So it was Canada subsidizing
00:09:35.480
in the first place, Trump hitting back with the counter tariff in response. And then our
00:09:40.560
response again is, okay, then we're going to do something else. And even, you know, someone
00:09:44.920
who used to, I consider, used to be a friend of at least conservatives and free market ideas,
00:09:49.880
premier, former premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney, he kind of, they go down on this idea. He wrote
00:09:54.480
on X, proud of the work at his premier massively to expand Alberta's film and television industries.
00:09:59.480
And so like, the idea was that he was proud of what subsidizing companies to come up to
00:10:05.780
Canada. Like that's like, why is that the role of a conservative premier? I don't understand.
00:10:09.960
I don't understand it either. And so the analogy I like to use, and I use this in the piece that
00:10:15.040
you referred to off the top. So let's imagine, forget, forget the border, forget the different
00:10:19.240
country for a minute. Just imagine you have two businesses in a small town and they, they,
00:10:23.500
and they sell the same stuff. And one of them is subsidized.
00:10:29.480
Okay. We don't think that's okay because it places the other one at a disadvantage. That that's
00:10:35.440
not the rule of law. That's favoritism. And so to fix that, you either have to take the subsidies away
00:10:41.660
or you have to give the other company subsidies as well. So everything's equal. Right. And the
00:10:47.780
only difference here is those, those count, those, those competitors are in different countries.
00:10:52.640
And one of the countries is giving their company subsidies. That's not, that's not a level
00:10:59.360
playing field. And if you're Trump, you say, I see what you're doing. You are placing our
00:11:05.740
competitors at a, at an economic disadvantage. It's not a level playing field. I'm putting
00:11:10.860
tariffs on. I think that's a fair response. If our industries like the film industry that
00:11:18.020
you're referring to cannot exist without government subsidies, then it cannot exist because it's not
00:11:26.520
competing well. If you really want to succeed, you compete on a level playing field and you beat
00:11:32.500
the competitor who's also not getting subsidies. And if you can't do that, then you, then you,
00:11:37.340
then you fail.
00:11:38.400
Right. And, and, and it's almost like a double subsidy because the Canadian dollar is also lower,
00:11:42.020
right? For these American studios, they come up to Vancouver and they're paying 60, 70 cents
00:11:46.140
on the dollar. That's, that's the subsidy in itself in a way, not, maybe not intentional,
00:11:50.020
but that's just how the market is right now. But, but, but then on top of that, you get the
00:11:54.060
government of British Columbia film credits, the government of Canada film credits. It actually
00:11:57.360
drives me crazy. This is like a minor pet peeve of mine. My, I have little kids and they watch
00:12:01.900
some TV and one of the shows that they love is a show called Bluey and it's about an Australian dog
00:12:06.420
and it has some film credits from Australia, but the show is like basically like a walking ad
00:12:11.960
for Australia. Like it just, it showcases Australia culture and it gets you excited
00:12:16.260
about the idea of the, you know, and, and now they have all kinds of tours. Australia
00:12:19.320
you can go and do like bluey stuff. And so at least you could argue that there's some value
00:12:22.780
to the country for having this like hugely popular children's television show. And you
00:12:27.180
compare that to Paw Patrol, which is a Canadian show and it gets all the same kind of film credits
00:12:31.940
and all kinds of, even though it's like a massively astronomically popular successful show
00:12:36.740
that's been around for like a decade.
00:12:37.700
And yet when you watch that show, you'd have no idea it was Canadian because they don't
00:12:41.000
even mention Canada. They don't even pretend to have a Canadian identity at all. That's
00:12:44.720
just out of his sight. If we're going to put money into something, you might as well actually
00:12:47.900
like you get something for it and have some kind of a Canadian identity. They don't at all,
00:12:53.260
but it just, it's like, yeah. Why does the government have to be involved in every industry? And this
00:12:59.780
is a second pet peeve of mine, Bruce. And I don't want to draw you down into this media well,
00:13:04.220
but if you look at YouTube after Carney and Trump had their bilateral, the reviews were pretty
00:13:11.240
devastating for Mark Carney. Everyone was pointing out, not just YouTube, but X, anywhere on social
00:13:15.180
media, people were pointing out how uncomfortable Carney looked, how Donald Trump played him,
00:13:19.860
how it was like a game of, you know, if anyone who's read the art of the deal, how Trump just
00:13:24.180
really outplayed him. He embarrassed him. He was speaking all these things that Carney said that he
00:13:28.620
didn't say anymore. He was saying them again. Well, 51st state and all that stuff. Anyway, if you were a social
00:13:34.100
media, you would, and you didn't see the meeting itself, you would assume it went very badly for
00:13:38.340
the Canadian prime minister. If you're watching the legacy media, however, it's like a totally
00:13:42.380
different picture. So I had my producer here just do a scan of like some of the headlines and some of
00:13:47.400
the clips. And it's really just like remarkable, the propaganda at work here. So, you know, Toronto
00:13:53.640
star here headline, we got the first glimpse of the new Carney Trump relationship. Our guy sounded pitch
00:13:59.820
perfect. CBC. I like this guy. I like this guy. Carney gets warm words from Trump. The rest
00:14:06.200
has to wait. Another CBC headline. Carney tells Trump Canada is not for sale. President praises PM
00:14:12.620
as a very good person. And then I'll just show a quick clip here. So this is a CBC analyst,
00:14:20.960
Catherine Cullen, celebrating Mark Carney's use of humor to diffuse tension at the meeting,
00:14:25.440
praising his facial expressions as he sat awkwardly with the president. Let's play this clip.
00:14:33.600
I did think the way he tried to use his sense of humor to diffuse the situation was striking,
00:14:40.500
and it does hold some significance. Let's take a look at another moment where that is on display,
00:14:46.420
where Donald Trump is again asked about this idea of a 51st date. Mark Carney has said,
00:14:50.880
no, thank you. But Trump isn't relenting. Let's watch and watch Mark Carney's face here.
00:14:55.440
Now they're stepping it up. And that's a very important thing. But never say never. Never say
00:14:59.900
never.
00:15:04.160
And you know, there he is. He's laughing. He's sort of like wiggling in his eyebrows a little
00:15:11.940
there. He's doing a little. Yeah, that's it. And but I think this is significant because it was
00:15:17.080
clearly something of a strategy to try to diffuse the tension. Okay, so I just have one more.
00:15:23.600
Another CBC reporter Aaron Collins praising Mark Carney again for his facial expressions. Let's play
00:15:28.620
this clip. After Carney said Canada's not for sale, the president, he continues insisting that, you
00:15:34.400
know, Canada could be had. But but just watch what the prime minister does here. Now they're stepping
00:15:41.480
it up. And that's a very important thing. But never say never, ever say never.
00:15:50.700
So you can see it's quick there. But he's very quietly mouthing the words never. He's looking
00:15:56.900
away from the president. But he's careful not to insult the president while doing this. So firm,
00:16:01.960
the polite, no easy task. It's a very Canadian strategy, Andrew.
00:16:06.380
Well, trying too hard.
00:16:07.980
What did you think of that, Bruce?
00:16:09.160
But it doesn't matter how, you know, if they're right or wrong in their opinion. The fact of the
00:16:16.400
matter is that the CBC is one of the best examples of the kind of thing we're talking about,
00:16:20.980
right? The CBC is a government institution. So nobody in their right mind ought to listen to
00:16:27.620
anything they have to say. It doesn't matter if they're right or wrong. You start off in a deficit
00:16:33.260
because they are funded, in this case of the CBC, entirely by the government. It's a government
00:16:40.480
mouthpiece. That's what it's become. And of course, our legacy media, although they are not government
00:16:46.900
institutions per se, they are also now getting funded by the federal government. And so they are
00:16:51.720
discrediting themselves, in my view. They are like the other industries we referred to before,
00:16:56.600
which are managed by government. And so you don't have a free market in journalism either.
00:17:09.460
We certainly don't. And we saw even during the campaign, I mean, we had Preston Manning
00:17:13.400
write to the ethics commissioner saying it was a conflict of interest for Mark Kearney to pledge
00:17:17.360
an extra $150 million to the CBC during the campaign. That's a pretty clear example, I think,
00:17:21.780
of a conflict of interest. They had no interest in following that, basically dismissed it.
00:17:25.780
But we also saw that the News Media Act, the one that made Google pay $100 million,
00:17:31.920
it was basically a shakedown saying, give us this money in order to operate in Canada.
00:17:35.040
That money was given to the Canadian government. They distribute it to news outlets during the
00:17:39.480
election campaign. So the big newspapers, including wire services like the Canadian press,
00:17:44.460
all got millions and millions of money from the government during the election campaign. So
00:17:49.780
it used to just be CBC that we would worry about. And now it's almost everybody in the legacy
00:17:54.520
media. Almost anyone, every newspaper, even the private, CTV, global, everyone's got their hand
00:18:02.420
in the jar when it comes to government subseasons. It's like, how can a reporter, how can anyone who
00:18:07.060
claims to be a journalist operate in good faith knowing that they're funded by the government?
00:18:11.740
And not even the government, like one political party that's pushing this. It's an attack on our
00:18:17.180
democracy and our free press. And yet it's, you know, the lazy media love to talk about attacks
00:18:23.680
on democracy, but never when it comes to this kind of thing.
00:18:28.560
Yes. Well, I agree with you, but the real problem is that it seems to be okay with the people.
00:18:35.400
That Canadians do not, on the whole, I don't mean that everybody's of the same mind, but on the
00:18:44.020
whole, Canadians do not seem to be upset about this and so many other things about the big picture in
00:18:50.980
this country. Well, I, yeah, I completely agree that people, this should have been a wake-up call.
00:18:56.040
Unfortunately, it wasn't. I want to just bring in one other topic, Bruce. I don't know if you're
00:18:59.580
interested in this at all, but I am. One of the things that I really loved about what happened in
00:19:03.840
the U.S. 2024 election was the Maha movement, the Make America Healthy Again movement. I think
00:19:08.700
it started as like a bunch of moms on Instagram that were kind of worried about like the things
00:19:13.000
that were in our kids' food, and I was one of those moms for sure. And it's grown into this
00:19:17.700
huge movement. Well, yesterday we learned that President Trump has appointed Dr. Casey Means to
00:19:24.460
be the next Surgeon General of the United States. Now you might not know who she is. Casey Means wrote
00:19:29.100
a book called Good Energy. And I would say that this book is like my Bible, but of course the Bible
00:19:33.740
is my Bible. But when it comes to health, I love this book so much. I bought like 30 copies of it
00:19:38.560
and I gave it to like everyone in my family, all my friends and even my staff for Christmas because
00:19:43.520
I thought it was just such an important book. It's something that I live by. And I'm such a huge fan
00:19:48.360
of Casey Means. She's a young doctor. She's in her 30s and she was trained at Stanford and basically
00:19:53.040
just completely revolted against the system, became like a holistic medicine person who advocates
00:19:58.760
for good metabolic health and kind of walks people through how to achieve that. And so the idea that
00:20:04.080
someone like this would be placed in a position like this, I think is just truly exceptional and
00:20:08.320
wonderful. And I'm so excited to see what will happen. So congratulations, Dr. Casey Means. And I
00:20:13.440
think this is such a good sign. It doesn't really impact Canada, except for of course it will, because
00:20:16.900
if the United States is able to clean up its food industry, get rid of a lot of the sort of very
00:20:21.480
troublesome products and things that get placed in our foods, chemicals and all that kind of stuff,
00:20:27.240
I think that it will have a positive impact on Canadians as well. So I don't know if you wanted
00:20:31.300
to comment on this, but I'm very excited about it.
00:20:35.020
Yeah. So again, back to the big picture. So here's the irony in a way, if you like. So one of the
00:20:43.500
claimed purposes of governments is to protect us from the things that big bad corporations do. And yet
00:20:51.020
what's actually happened is that governments and big corporations have been colluding to impose
00:20:56.460
things on us. And part of the project that's now being carried out or at least attempted in the U.S.
00:21:03.740
is to get government out of it so that people can then choose for themselves again.
00:21:09.820
Exactly.
00:21:10.460
Right. And we'll see what, you know, have to see over time how that project goes, but that's the project
00:21:18.380
that has started in the U.S. and has not started in Canada.
00:21:22.460
Oh, tell me about it. Even when I go to my local organic market in, you know, not, not, not a big city,
00:21:29.180
but just outside the city, I go to a local organic market and I can't find bread that doesn't have
00:21:34.300
like 50, 50 ingredients, including a whole bunch of chemicals that I can't pronounce. Like you can't,
00:21:38.380
you can't even find it. You can't even find like organic cheeses or anything like that. So it's like,
00:21:43.500
it kind of is a market problem. But to your point, it's because governments have allowed corporations
00:21:48.860
to collude and create all kinds of things. Like the priority is not actually having a healthy
00:21:53.500
population or, or making sure the kids are healthy. Their priority is just making money
00:21:57.580
for themselves. It's, it's, it's, it's so disgusting.
00:21:59.660
And part of the reason you can't find bread to your liking is that the people who make the products,
00:22:05.420
it goes going back to our supply management point, the people who, who, who make the products,
00:22:10.300
you know, including the cheese and the milk and the eggs all have to be licensed. They're all
00:22:14.940
government approved. You can't just go to a local producer and say, you know, you have stuff that
00:22:19.260
I want. I have money that you want. Let's make, let's, let's transact. Government won't allow that
00:22:24.460
for the very reason that our economy is managed. No, you're so right. And even I, this is just
00:22:29.580
another anecdote, but I went to a Whole Foods, I had to drive like 45 minutes to get to the closest
00:22:33.580
Whole Foods. And I noticed that the shelves were like half empty there, right? This is a big American
00:22:38.140
organic grocery store they brought into Canada. They have a couple of locations. And so I spoke to just,
00:22:42.700
you know, the, the guy that is stocking the shelves and I'm like, what's, what's happening
00:22:45.500
here? Why can't I find all the stuff that I find if I'm in the Whole Foods in the US? And he's like,
00:22:49.260
it's hard to find suppliers because you, you, you have to translate everything into French. So the
00:22:54.620
labeling and a lot of our, you know, a lot of our, our suppliers in the US just don't, there's no,
00:22:59.660
it's not worthwhile financially for them to create all new packaging just to set it up to Canada.
00:23:04.460
So it's exactly your point. It's because of these crazy government regulations that even in a place
00:23:10.300
where there aren't French speakers, they still have to put French on all the boxes and all the
00:23:14.220
labels. All right, Bruce, I always enjoy the conversation. Thank you so much for joining
