Juno News - Election is FINALLY here？

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is the Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:10.580 And while we have some big news for you on the show today,

00:00:13.580 it looks like we have finally reached the moment that we have been waiting for

00:00:16.800 for the last four years.

00:00:18.520 News is breaking that Mark Carney, the prime minister elect,

00:00:22.680 the prime minister that was selected by liberal insiders,

00:00:24.780 is expected to call a general election this Sunday,

00:00:28.740 meaning that we will go to the polls. Canadians will go and vote sometime in either late April

00:00:34.120 or early May, depending on how long he sets the election. So this is good news, folks. We have

00:00:38.560 been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally get a democratic mandate in this country. We need

00:00:44.000 to decide for ourselves what our future will look like and who will lead our country. This is,

00:00:49.220 like I've said on the show many times, I think this is the most important election of my lifetime,

00:00:53.600 certainly of this this decade or longer. Do Canadians want to continue down the path of

00:00:59.780 liberal governance? Or are we ready for a change? Are we ready to bring something different for

00:01:04.560 ourselves and for our future? It is a very important time in Canadian politics. Part of

00:01:08.680 the reason we launched Juno News is so that we could cut through the spin of the legacy media,

00:01:13.380 we could report fact based news and hard hitting opinion. So I'm going to encourage everyone to

00:01:18.140 head on over to Juno News and subscribe $10 a month or $100 a year, you get access to

00:01:23.560 all of our library, all of our catalogue of news and podcasts. And we've also introduced

00:01:28.060 Juno Polls. We have our own exclusive in-house pollster who will go out into the field by

00:01:32.980 themselves independently and report on what Canadians are thinking, what the mood of the

00:01:37.400 country is at the moment. We posted a interview that I did last night about the collapse of the

00:01:42.860 NDP. This is the real story, folks, of the election so far. I know a lot of people are talking about

00:01:46.860 how Pierre Polyev has lost support and that the Liberals are capitalizing on that. When you look

00:01:51.140 the polls the story is that the ndp has completely collapsed and as we all know conservatives rely

00:01:57.620 on a bit of a splitting of the vote between liberals and between conservative sorry between

00:02:01.460 liberals and ndp in order to get through and that is just not happening because the liberals uh are

00:02:06.980 picking up all of that ndp vote okay we're going to talk about that we're going to talk about the

00:02:12.500 canadian economy under this liberal government and we're going to spend the rest of the show talking

00:02:16.500 about crime the crime search that is happening in canada and i'm joined today by someone who has

00:02:21.700 done painstaking efforts to highlight this crime to document it and to get the story out to canadians

00:02:28.260 i'm talking about sundaram farida i hope i pronounced that correctly sundaram but he is a

00:02:34.180 youtuber he has an amazing channel called cars with sundaram and like i said he has been reporting

00:02:39.540 crime like no one else in the country so it's great to have you on the show sundaram thank you

00:02:43.700 thanks for having me candace i'm sorry if i butchered your last name i tried

00:02:48.980 that's okay uh sondra and fanaretta yeah cars are sondra but happy to be on the show lots of

00:02:53.460 exciting news to talk about today yeah so let's get right to it the cbc is reporting that there

00:02:57.860 will be a slap a snap election called on sunday so it will be the prime minister himself mark

00:03:02.580 carney going ahead and announcing that there will be an election here is a clip of uh how

00:03:08.100 that how the news is being reported on cbc mark carney will dissolve parliament and call an election

00:03:15.380 this sunday that's march the 23rd uh the election day our sources are saying it varies april 28th

00:03:22.420 or the may the 5th that a final decision has not yet been made but this is from sources confirmed

00:03:27.940 to cbc news and radio canada so interesting because for so long we have been urging the

00:03:34.580 ndp to break up the deal they've been propping up the liberals for the last four years and we've been

00:03:38.900 calling on ndp leader jagmeet singh to do the right thing and allow canadians to have a vote

00:03:43.620 a vote interesting that mark carney has sort of bypassed the ndp had no interest in forming any

00:03:48.820 kind of an alliance with him and he's going to go trigger the election himself which obviously

00:03:53.060 means he's confidence under him he obviously knows that that right now is is perhaps his

00:03:58.500 best opportunity the canadians don't know him very well they might be willing to give him a chance

00:04:02.420 they haven't really been scrutinized he hasn't really been properly vetted by the legacy media

00:04:06.420 they seem to have no interest in asking him tough questions or digging into his past or

00:04:10.580 trying to find out what he believes about certain things about the world and so on his own terms

00:04:15.300 he's calling the election what do you what do you make of all this well number one i'm really

00:04:19.860 happy that we're finally at this stage where there's an election going to be called i think

00:04:22.980 the latest uh survey was 72 percent of canadians wanted an election so thankfully the election's

00:04:28.580 coming democracy is going to be able to run its course look i think look what has happened with

00:04:32.900 the cabinet of trudeau right how many people resigned at least in my riding in oakville east

00:04:36.820 for example amita and and resigned when the polling looked bad then literally two weeks

00:04:41.140 later i think it was two or three weeks later she came back and said no i had a change of mind when

00:04:45.060 the polls change so you know the polling and i'm glad to hear that you are also doing independent

00:04:49.540 polling i think the change in the polling what's happened obviously what's going on with the

00:04:54.340 the tariff wars with Trump, the people losing, the NDP losing their vote over to the Liberal Party.

00:04:59.560 So they're taking this opportunity. They see it as a time to go ahead and capitalize on that

00:05:03.520 momentum that they have. But again, I think what's really going on again is like that shift

00:05:08.680 of the numbers is really a collapse of the NDP. But I still think like in the people that I speak

00:05:12.660 to every day, and again, I reach for Canadians from coast to coast like you, you know, they're

00:05:16.800 still stuck on like understanding, look, what's happened over the last nine years. None of that

00:05:21.240 has changed. The cabinet that Mark Carney has is primarily everybody within Justin Trudeau's

00:05:25.760 cabinet. Exactly. Yeah, we've reported on that. I think it's 90 some percent the same. So it's

00:05:31.760 the same people. It's Stephen Galbault, Chrystia Freeland, Dominic LeBlanc. It's the same people.

00:05:36.540 And you mentioned, you know, we talked about that on the show, too. Like, I mean, these people,

00:05:41.000 it's hilarious. You know, she thought that she was abandoning, jumping off a sinking ship with

00:05:44.940 Justin Trudeau. And then all of a sudden, Mark Carney comes around like a knight in shining

00:05:48.920 armor and she jumps right back on. So obviously that's, they wouldn't be calling an election 0.93

00:05:53.260 today or on Sunday if they didn't believe that they could win. And the polls are perhaps showing

00:05:58.880 them. Now, I reject the polls that I've seen that say that the liberals kind of are a shoe-in and

00:06:04.060 that they're going to get a majority. I don't think that that is correct. I still have faith

00:06:07.820 that the Canadian electorate will make the right decision, but the election itself is going to be

00:06:12.300 so important. Like what questions are asked, how they treat the candidates, how, you know,

00:06:17.020 Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives get their own message out? What kind of questions are put to

00:06:21.280 Mark Carney? One of the interesting things I've noticed, also news breaking right now,

00:06:24.860 is that former journalist Evan Solomon has announced or is expecting to announce that he

00:06:30.060 will be running for the Liberals. So he will be running with a Liberal MP. And this is sort of a

00:06:35.280 source of frustration for me, Sondran, because so many of these journalists who operate in Ottawa,

00:06:41.180 part of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, it's a clique of insiders over there. They're all

00:06:45.760 partisan liberals. I know that. I lived and worked in Ottawa. I know that they're all liberals, but

00:06:50.320 they pretend to be neutral journalists above the fray of politics. And then, you know, when they

00:06:55.220 decide to retire from journalism and get into politics, lo and behold, they always just join

00:07:00.340 one party. It's the liberals because it's the biggest farce. Like we know that they're partisan.

00:07:04.760 We know that they're liberals. And every now and then they let the masks slip. Or in this case,

00:07:08.880 they come right out and say, okay, I'm ready to be a liberal now. And this is part of the reason

00:07:12.640 why we don't get fair and balanced news coverage in this country. It's part of the reason why

00:07:16.160 the Parliamentary Press Gallery is a source of propaganda. The CBC is a source of propaganda.

00:07:20.840 That's why the Candace Malcolm Show exists. That's why Juno News and True North before that.

00:07:25.520 That's why we built these organizations to try to break through the spin because I think the

00:07:29.480 Canadians deserve to, they deserve that the politicians on the political left and people

00:07:34.060 in the Liberal Party get the same level of scrutiny and tough questions as the Conservatives.

00:07:40.060 That's all we ask. And as people like in every day, your jobs, like everyone's accountable to your boss, to, you know, you work at a public company, you're accountable to hitting your numbers, to being accountable on the delivery that you're going to have. We need to hold our leaders accountable. And I'm glad you mentioned that part about CBC News. And look, I wanted to also not believe that this was the case, that the news agencies were there to be behind Canadians to inform us. And, you know, the story when they came to me and interviewed me about what's going on with the crime. And I know we're going to talk about that later.

00:08:09.320 and then they canned the interview really, really just distraught me in a lot of different ways,

00:08:14.540 Candace. It really made me think that we have a serious real issue here in Canada where the truth

00:08:20.740 and the facts can't be held to account and people can't be held accountable. And that's why we've

00:08:25.660 gone into the situation that we are in today. I'm really happy that this election is coming.

00:08:30.360 And the one question I think really summarizes how most Canadians should think about it is,

00:08:34.960 ask yourself what has improved over the last 10 years?

00:08:39.320 think about that for a second what has improved over the last 10 years and a lot of people will

00:08:44.620 just blank stare at you for a long time and think about it and not be able to give you an answer

00:08:49.020 right or they'll talk about like sort of trivial things like oh justin trudeau had equal members

00:08:55.500 of women and men in his cabinet like how did that serve him right or like oh you know as a country 0.55

00:09:00.480 we celebrate pride month now and we well i mean it wasn't that long ago that we lowered our flags

00:09:07.080 to have staff and the whole country was told that we're settlers and we're we knew committed genocide

00:09:12.600 and that we should be ashamed of being canadian we removed sir john and mcdonald's statues and

00:09:16.680 removed his names from schools and freeways and then all of a sudden on a dime two months ago

00:09:21.560 we were all told to be canadian patriots and nationalists again and all of a sudden everyone

00:09:26.040 had the flag back and i mean to me it's it's all just tools of propaganda it's interesting that the

00:09:30.600 cbc canceled your interview uh what did they tell you why why did they follow it up three times i

00:09:37.960 didn't get a response and uh yeah all these things that you're talking about too you know i go back

00:09:42.600 i was talking to my wife about this it's maslow's hierarchy of needs what are the main issues that

00:09:47.000 matter to people canadians shelter their security i know there's two things we're going to talk about

00:09:53.000 we have the two biggest issues right now that none of those are talked about in the liberal english

00:09:56.920 debate, which blew my mind. People are worried about the 200,000 people that we have homeless

00:10:02.300 on our streets, Candace. People are worried about the 2 million people that have to rely on food

00:10:06.880 banks in Canada. Can you believe it? Can you believe what you're saying and what I'm saying

00:10:10.760 to you? 2 million people rely on food banks in this country. Can we believe the crime that's

00:10:15.740 happening in our communities, right? Our sanctuaries in our homes, like people don't feel

00:10:20.440 safe. People in Oakville, in my area, are boarding up their homes with wood. I'm not joking. I've

00:10:26.400 done stories on this. It blows my mind. I question how are the news media not focused on the issues

00:10:35.960 that actually matter? Yes, there's those other issues there, but let's focus on the foundation.

00:10:40.740 You build a house, you focus on a strong foundation. You build a country, it must be on

00:10:44.280 a strong foundation. And that foundation is crumbling around us. It's unbelievable. You

00:10:49.960 mentioned Oakville. So I grew up in Vancouver and I didn't know the Toronto suburbs very well.

00:10:54.700 my husband's from toronto and oakville is like one of the nicest places in ontario like it is a very

00:11:00.740 nice community very safe very what used to be i was at a family wedding a couple weekends ago and

00:11:06.500 there i was talking to a couple from oakville and they were saying exactly what you're saying that

00:11:09.740 their neighbor got broken into that their mom you know she's an empty nester and that she's basically 1.00

00:11:15.460 afraid at night because her neighbor got broken into like out of control to crime in like a nice

00:11:21.140 proper, safe suburb of Toronto. It's really just unbelievable what is happening in the GTA.

00:11:27.780 It is unbelievable. I moved here four years ago from Hamilton, Ontario. I thought, look,

00:11:31.860 I want to be in a very nice community for my family. I have a two-year-old daughter.

00:11:35.640 And now we're at this point where actually Oakville and all these suburbs, we are the

00:11:39.120 number one targets for these crimes because the criminals will come and scout these homes. And

00:11:45.000 literally, it was just last night, Candice, it's not a joke, 400 meters away from me,

00:11:48.700 another home invasion just happened. And we have a community group chat. And this is a daily

00:11:53.740 occurrence. And the one gripe that I really have about mainstream media today is, look, they do

00:11:58.600 cover some of the news segments, but they do not cover the true gravity of the situation. And that's

00:12:04.600 the problem. They're not covering the gravity. Instead, you hear, oh, there was a break in here

00:12:08.700 one month, that's it, it's done. If you look at the stats, there's actually crime maps that are

00:12:13.000 given publicly available by the police, the Halton Police, Peel Regional Police, you'll see the

00:12:17.840 massive amount of crime that's happening and it's not being talked about and the issue with this is

00:12:22.400 is that means canadians can't do the things that they need to do to protect their families and

00:12:26.300 their children now and these stories that i hear candace these people are traumatized for life

00:12:31.180 their children are traumatized for life it's so painful i was speaking to a poor woman she was

00:12:36.740 pregnant six months home invasion happened the second time within a year she lost her baby two

00:12:41.580 weeks later because of the stress like these stories are impacting canadians and i hear from

00:12:46.080 these stories from coast to coast from canadians and it's something that changes your life you

00:12:49.920 wouldn't wish it to your worst enemies i promise you that no it's true i mean i like my husband

00:12:55.200 travels for work and sometimes like you you're trying to fall asleep i've got four little kids

00:12:58.800 in the house and you think like like what is the scariest thing imaginable it is like literally an

00:13:03.040 armed man getting into your house in the middle of the night and then i watch your your tick tocks

00:13:07.600 and you on instagram and it's like this is literally happening in our community and in

00:13:11.680 our area it is so terrifying and it's still un-canadian to me uh we're going to get into 1.00

00:13:16.160 some more of these crime stories in a minute but i want to start by talking about the canadian

00:13:20.160 economy because you know you're talking about the hierarchy of needs here and obviously like

00:13:24.000 shelter and safety are number one but like having an opportunity to start a business to get a good

00:13:30.080 job to provide for your family that is like the key most important thing in a country in a society

00:13:36.560 i don't think it's the government's job to you give people jobs and to give them opportunities

00:13:40.640 But clearly, they have to get out of the way. And that is a problem that the Liberals have not done. So Canadian economist Trevor Thome shared this chart showing that Canada ranked second lowest in GDP per capita across the OECD developed countries. So you can see at the very, very, very bottom of that chart, the little red line there, that is Canada with just completely anemic growth, basically just nothing, right?

00:14:05.780 And we can go through some of these other graphs here. Canada's growth based on GDP per capita

00:14:12.500 is even worse. We are the absolute worst. This is over the last 10 years. I think we have

00:14:17.720 this graph here showing, oops, this is a different one, but this is showing the

00:14:23.380 performance. Canada's economy is on track to be the worst performing advanced economy

00:14:28.580 in the entire world. We are at the very end there. Regardless of like what you're looking at,

00:14:36.880 you know, Canada's GDP crumbling despite massive government spending. Here's another graph here

00:14:42.940 that shows the just government spending. So spending is basically the only thing that's

00:14:49.640 boosting our GDP these days is just growth in government, essentially. And then we have this

00:14:55.440 other graphs showing the gap between the public sector and the private sector and you can basically

00:15:00.820 just see that like since 2020 since the pandemic Canadians self-employed Canadians just basically

00:15:07.280 are less and less existent and private sector growth hasn't been anywhere near public sector

00:15:12.820 this is a record of the Trudeau liberals and I don't really see much difference from Mark Carney

00:15:19.480 what do you think yeah look this is this is actually a multifaceted issue that's tied to

00:15:24.040 crime so let's think about how you build a really strong economy you have to invest in innovation

00:15:28.360 and so for your viewers that don't understand gdp per capita means really how well off do you feel

00:15:34.440 and so our growth while minimal means the rest of the world's getting richer and in comparison

00:15:39.640 we're getting poorer so what's that mean our quality of life has been decreasing significantly

00:15:44.360 over the last 10 years and i think a lot of people feel that they feel that quality of life decrease

00:15:49.240 they feel the cost of living increasing while this is happening they feel wages stagnating

00:15:54.200 and so what this liberal government has done in order to boost some metrics like gross gdp

00:15:59.880 what they've done is one you mentioned that's that public sector uh workers increasing

00:16:04.280 significantly one two the large amount of immigration that we've brought into this country

00:16:09.960 on a per on a per capita basis makes us worse off but on a gross basis makes it look like

00:16:15.880 we're improving because you're adding more people more consumers into the economy then this comes

00:16:20.760 up to wait we have all these people coming into the economy there's no jobs to support them there's

00:16:26.120 no housing to support them there's no infrastructure to support them people are dying in our hospitals

00:16:31.880 in waiting rooms and so what they've done is is essentially give us some drug to try to bolster

00:16:38.360 some growth metrics while really destroying the long term uh foundation that we have as an economy

00:16:45.080 and really impacting us today and so we're going to feel these effects for a long time unfortunately

00:16:49.800 so regardless of what happens it's going to take five six seven years to get ourselves out of this

00:16:55.160 right i know pierre polyev has talked about some of those things that he's going to do but a lot

00:16:59.000 of these things have happened over 10 years and those things won't be able to change on a dime

00:17:04.200 so the economy and the lack of innovation that we have in this economy as well the fact that look

00:17:09.240 with now what's happening with the us with the tariff wars we obviously are inextricably tied

00:17:13.960 with the united states but we didn't go ahead and leverage the natural resources that we have

00:17:18.520 the lng opportunities that we have and now we're looking down the barrel of a gun where we have a

00:17:23.740 significant issue with the united states where yes if we get into a tariff war we may be able to do

00:17:30.200 it and inflict damage to them but they're going to be able to inflict much more damage to us and

00:17:34.780 people need to understand that well and the solution that every politician has is the same

00:17:39.420 which is a 25% tariff on Canadians that we pay as a 25% tax essentially on anything that's imported

00:17:45.900 from the United States is just going to make it a whole lot more expensive. And there have been

00:17:50.560 studies that show that the tariffs that Trump is imposing will have a moderate impact, mostly on

00:17:55.760 Canadian businesses that export to US markets. But the reciprocal tariffs that we're slapping

00:18:00.780 on ourselves under either a liberal or a conservative, they both agree that's the way to go.

00:18:04.680 That is what's going to have a devastating impact. I wanted to go back to something you

00:18:08.760 mentioned about immigration. I agree. It's something that both, again, both, both governments,

00:18:12.960 conservative and liberal have used for decades to, it's almost like a shortcut to GDP growth. It's

00:18:18.680 like the easiest way to grow the GDP and to boost the economy is just to bring in a whole bunch of

00:18:23.100 people. Right. And the idea is if you're bringing in the best and the brightest and using the point

00:18:27.800 system and bringing in people who are entrepreneurial or have money to invest, you know, that is one way

00:18:33.900 that you can boost the economy.

00:18:36.740 But with the Trudeau government,

00:18:38.240 it just seemed like it was a shortcut

00:18:39.820 that they just wanted to flood the country

00:18:41.320 with millions and millions of people.

00:18:43.400 And you mentioned that there weren't enough

00:18:45.220 housing units built.

00:18:46.400 There's never been enough housing

00:18:47.420 to keep up with the growth in our population.

00:18:49.520 Juno News recently reported that Canada

00:18:51.160 took in five times more immigrants 1.00

00:18:53.500 than housing starts.

00:18:55.640 So we have a 5x problem since 2023.

00:18:59.780 Where are these people supposed to live?

00:19:01.660 This is a huge problem.

00:19:02.600 And I think it does get to the other questions that we're talking about, like with crime,

00:19:07.820 with unaffordable housing, with homelessness.

00:19:10.940 It's like there's just not enough places to live for all the people that we have in

00:19:14.560 our country.

00:19:15.040 What do you think?

00:19:16.100 Not enough places to live, not enough opportunity, not enough jobs.

00:19:19.700 And look, I'm a family of immigrants.

00:19:21.280 OK, my family came here.

00:19:23.020 My dad was a taxi driver for a long time.

00:19:25.120 My mom worked at a factory for jeans.

00:19:27.500 Look, there could be 100 of those people.

00:19:28.780 But the problem is when you bring in that volume of people, there's always going to be a percentage that feel they're backed in a corner because of the situation that they're put in.

00:19:36.860 A lot of these people were promised a lot of great things about the opportunity in Canada that doesn't materialize.

00:19:41.740 Then a percentage of people will resort to crime.

00:19:44.940 So a lot of this stuff is it's a very nuanced issue.

00:19:48.680 Of course, there's a lot of different pieces that come into play.

00:19:51.260 But this is another big factor.

00:19:53.040 And a lot of the times now we're letting in people.

00:19:55.300 Mark Miller said this, they were letting in people without even background checks. So I've

00:20:00.000 spoken to 17 different police officers from the greater Toronto area, greater Hamilton area,

00:20:06.340 separate RCMP officers and CVSA officers. They tell me the majority of the increase in crime is

00:20:12.040 due to the fact that organized crime has come in through our lax borders and set up shop here.

00:20:17.480 Number one, it started with the fentanyl crisis, but then they found the opportunity of auto thefts

00:20:23.160 And they actually diversified their business into this auto theft business.

00:20:26.880 And so to be very clear, and what's happening is they're hiring also the youths because of our Youth Justice Act to go commit these heinous crimes because they know there's no consequences.

00:20:37.000 I've spoken to police officers that have put their lines on the line where actually one was hit and run over by a criminal, took them to jail, and he was out the next day.

00:20:47.640 Absolutely, it just blows your mind.

00:20:50.340 And my heart goes out to the police officers in this country that put their lives on the

00:20:54.960 line to protect our families, to protect our children, and for our government to be handcuffing

00:20:59.740 them and not being able to perform their duties and protecting not only themselves, but our

00:21:04.120 families and children.

00:21:05.360 It's terrifying.

00:21:06.840 So yes, the issue with the immigration is it was a short-term bolster on our GDP.

00:21:13.120 But what does that mean?

00:21:13.940 Look at our GDP per capita, like the charts you just showed, completely decimated.

00:21:17.680 And that's why Canadians feel like we're in a pinch.

00:21:20.340 and just to be very clear we've already suffered from inflation due to covet everything those

00:21:24.820 prices are still up there while wages have still remained stagnant so now we're facing another

00:21:29.620 barrel of increasing costs again for everybody across this country well and even just you know

00:21:34.340 what you talked about with inflation due to covet inflation was due to the government printing a lot

00:21:38.900 of money during coming and so we were flooded with all this excess money and that is part of

00:21:44.660 the legacy of mark carney that's what he was doing in the uh as a bank of england's uh central banker

00:21:51.620 printing money and that's his philosophy and i believe he'll do it again uh you mentioned that

00:21:56.100 our prison systems are basically a revolving door i recently had the opportunity to sit down with

00:22:00.820 conservative leader pier poliev now one of his main platforms is lower the crime like that's this is

00:22:05.860 something that he is focused on he's really serious about when i interviewed him he actually

00:22:09.780 mentioned the same phenomenon that you're talking about that sometimes it's like a small handful

00:22:13.860 of criminals who are committing all the crime and so he had an example of a guy he called he said a

00:22:18.660 guy named levi and whenever he's in prison the crime rate goes down and whenever he's out of

00:22:22.660 prison the crime rate goes up i think we have that clip let's play it now there's one guy in

00:22:27.940 penticton his name is levi and the police tell me when he's out of jail he does so much crime

00:22:34.100 the crime rate for the entire city of penticton goes up like you can say you know for this month

00:22:38.740 Levi was out of jail and you can see a spike in crime.

00:22:43.740 One guy. It's just insane.

00:22:47.740 And so it's just sometimes it's just like very bad apples.

00:22:50.740 And part of the problem is that we don't have like mandatory minimums.

00:22:53.740 So sometimes, you know, someone's committing what they call petty crime,

00:22:57.740 but it's like over and over and over and over again.

00:22:59.740 And sometimes it is violent crime.

00:23:00.740 Part of it is just the liberal justice system and the fact that we are too lenient.

00:23:04.740 lenient i think we feel sorry for criminals and we want to we always want to give them a second

00:23:08.560 third fourth fifth chance um so what do you what do you think we should do about this yeah look

00:23:13.440 uh if you if this ever happened to you trust me you wouldn't feel sorry for criminals these

00:23:18.100 horrific home invasions where they're pointing a gun to your child you wouldn't wish on your

00:23:22.160 worst enemy this is truly one of the most heinous acts anybody could do i believe you need to have

00:23:27.040 strict punishment for this i don't know why we're playing a game when it comes to the safety of our

00:23:31.260 children and our communities. We should be putting laws in place that straight up deter people from

00:23:37.180 doing this. Because right now, Candace, what's happening, and one of the crime leaders reached

00:23:40.860 out, I made a video about this. They reached out to me and said, Sondran, I was doing this for a

00:23:44.360 while. I had a team of six people. We kept doing this. It was a joke. When people get caught,

00:23:49.160 we would laugh. We'd get released back out. It was so easy. I felt bad at some point, Sondran.

00:23:54.020 I'm going to stop doing this now. I wanted to tell you how easy it was. They told me this.

00:23:57.160 because the the profit that they get from each one of the vehicles that they sell that they go

00:24:01.820 steal they'll typically get between 15 to 20 000 depending on the vehicle right the consequences

00:24:07.420 are next to nothing so he told me from his their perspective it's like there's so much payout here

00:24:13.440 for next to no consequences of course people are going to do it if they're put in that position

00:24:17.580 where you know that small percentage i talked about will resort to crime it's a no-brainer for

00:24:22.480 them so that's why this is happening candace well okay so let's just show folks what we're talking

00:24:28.300 about you posted this video of an armed robber walking down the street in toronto waiting to

00:24:34.060 carjack someone and it was all caught on tape let's let's show this clip he's armed with a

00:24:40.040 weapon he's trying to steal these cars look at this there's a lineup of cars one of my followers

00:24:44.860 was recording this from his balcony he sent me this video this is crazy watch what this car does

00:24:50.700 now look look at him he's going to take action he's going to try to steal the vehicle from behind

00:24:57.820 this is crazy look at this poor guy he just gets ripped out of his vehicle

00:25:05.360 and now there's criminals driving away with this car and again this is like worst nightmare i mean

00:25:11.200 imagine if it's a mom driving with her kids in car seats in the back like this is so scary and

00:25:15.660 the police were warning about this. So January 21st, 2025, police report a warn of rising stage

00:25:22.940 collision carjackings in the GTA. So what these guys do is they'll cause a fender bender,

00:25:28.640 they'll rear end someone or just like a minor incident. The driver gets out to see the damage

00:25:33.700 and then someone comes out of nowhere, jumps in their car and drives away. And it's happening

00:25:37.840 all over the place. Like we were talking about how it happened in Oakville, which is an upscale

00:25:41.440 suburb is also happening in richmond hill and vaughn and other really nice neighborhoods where

00:25:46.720 they they target they target people driving range rovers and mercedes and bmws and i mean it's it's

00:25:53.600 just it's really unbelievable i applaud you for getting this stuff out there and these videos

00:25:58.240 that you are able to get and share are remarkable but it's just terrifying this is happening in

00:26:02.880 canada it really is terrifying candace and you know the videos that i post as well i only so

00:26:08.960 many could be posted on social media because some of them are so violent so what i'm trying to do

00:26:13.360 is make sure canadians are aware because i don't want this to happen to any canadian and here's the

00:26:18.160 important thing that every viewer needs to understand people send me these videos why

00:26:22.640 i was just doing cars i just i wasn't covering crime people started sending me these videos

00:26:27.760 because the mainstream media would not give them the attention that they needed they came to these

00:26:32.160 videos said look mainstream media is not covering this can you please share my story and these

00:26:37.360 families want to share it even though it's going to be shared a million times and they're going to

00:26:41.440 repeat the damage to themselves mentally they do it because they don't want anybody else to ever go

00:26:47.040 through this it is so traumatic so that's why a lot of them share the videos with me so that we

00:26:52.080 can make change happen in this country for the security of your family and children is the most

00:26:57.120 important thing for all of us candace i know you have a son i have a daughter it is the most

00:27:01.840 important thing is the safety of our family we should not be messing around with this we have

00:27:05.520 to put proper laws in place we have to treat criminals like criminals we have to fix a bunch

00:27:09.840 of the nuances around our immigration system our economy from even that small percentage of people

00:27:14.800 to make that decision to do something like this so heinous we should deter that as much as possible

00:27:19.200 but we need to make it clear to anybody violent crime like this cannot go unpunished but right now

00:27:24.400 it is okay let's go to the next one this is a story from brampton ontario another suburb in toronto

00:27:31.120 three armed men break into a home and confronted a four-year-old girl

00:27:35.520 and her family as they stole her car. This is so sick. Let's play that clip. 0.66

00:27:40.560 Security footage shows three masked suspects approaching the home near Humber West Parkway

00:27:45.520 and Airport Road shortly before 11.30 p.m. on March 6th. One of the suspects is then seen

00:27:52.240 violently smashing the front door with a hammer, forcing their way inside.

00:27:56.400 the homeowner who did not want to be identified tells city news he was asleep until the screams

00:28:05.560 of his four-year-old daughter abruptly woke him up it's just so sick and so you were saying that

00:28:11.780 the reason they do this kind of stuff is because there's no punishment i don't understand like if

00:28:15.820 police find these people why aren't they in jail because uh so yeah there's no punishment so bill

00:28:21.840 see 75, essentially what it's guiding the justice system to do is to release these offenders back

00:28:29.080 out onto the streets. One of the reasons when I speak to some people from the liberal camp saying

00:28:34.540 that we don't have enough jails or jails are over capacity 130%. I don't think that's an excuse. If

00:28:39.640 our jails are over capacity, we need to go find a solution to that. We cannot be releasing these

00:28:44.660 violent criminals back on the street. We are spending money on a whole bunch of different

00:28:48.300 things, Candace, we can spend money to either get jails or to figure out a plan with other countries

00:28:53.880 on how to put these criminals behind bars, because we can't have this. This is a four-year-old girl.

00:29:00.120 Those are her streams. People need to understand this can happen to you. And it's happening every

00:29:04.140 single day. Every day this is happening. It just happened in my neighborhood literally yesterday.

00:29:10.400 I'm sorry to say this, but if you are in Canada as an immigrant, you have a temporary visa or even

00:29:17.800 a permanent residency and you commit a heinous crime like this like you need to be deported i 0.95

00:29:21.560 don't even think that should be a controversial statement they need to go yeah it's not a

00:29:26.200 controversial statement if candace if you go to another country let's say you go to spain and you

00:29:30.200 do this your expectation is i'm going to be in jail like i don't know what bad things could happen to

00:29:34.360 me that's common sense right exactly okay let's go to the next one this is five armed men were caught

00:29:40.040 on video breaking into someone's home in hamilton ontario to steal their jeep and their corvette

00:29:45.080 let's play that clip these five armed men come with guns and hammers to break into this family

00:29:51.280 home at two in the morning this is in winona near hamilton ontario look at this madness look how many

00:29:56.200 of them there are five of these men coming armed this family is an absolute terror after this

00:30:02.520 and all to steal their vehicles that are parked outside

00:30:05.580 so i mean honestly amazing that you get this footage and you put it out there i wish that

00:30:12.900 every canadian would i mean every canadian should subscribe to your channels should subscribe to on

00:30:16.660 social media should watch these videos share them with people and raise it with your elected official

00:30:22.420 with your mp with your mayor with your mpp whoever we need to like canadians need to take action and

00:30:27.620 get serious about this like this is so unacceptable so uncanadian this is not the canada that i grew

00:30:32.020 up in it's really shocking and terrifying it really like the canada i think i'll even a lot

00:30:37.540 of immigrants that come here can just think the canada of you leave your door open in your 1.00

00:30:41.060 neighborhood it is completely flipped on its head people are putting gates metal gates on their

00:30:46.660 front doors and back doors now this is not a joke in suburbs like oakville that were considered the

00:30:52.100 nice suburbs to live in for a family that's not the case anymore so we need change and it's one

00:30:57.140 of those things that it's a foundational thing we need to get proper housing for our people we need

00:31:01.780 to make sure people feel safe in their homes those are two core foundations that we cannot let up on

00:31:06.660 Well, and the statistics really back it up. You're highlighting this Fraser Institute report

00:31:11.680 that came out on Tuesday, which says that Toronto and Vancouver now have higher property crime,

00:31:18.260 higher rates of property crime than New York City or Los Angeles. So the Fraser Institute writes,

00:31:24.080 rate of property crimes per person in Vancouver is 60% higher than Los Angeles. Kelowna has the

00:31:29.260 highest property crime rate of any large urban area in the entire pacific region i'm sorry like

00:31:37.120 i think of cities like portland and seattle and los angeles as well and san francisco oakland like

00:31:45.700 these are not safe cities you always think of canada as being superior and safer and calmer

00:31:52.000 and more relaxed and yet the statistics it's it's switched it's flipped that it's actually safer to

00:31:58.420 live in portland oregon or oakland or san francisco or los angeles than to live in colonna i mean

00:32:04.980 oh my goodness this is so unbelievable i i just i can't even express how like upsetting it is as a

00:32:11.860 canadian to grow up thinking like you know you said we we didn't lock our doors growing up like

00:32:15.860 we lived in safe communities you could walk around at night and you were going to be fine and it's

00:32:20.420 just like not the case anymore it's it's so sad it's so scary what what do you say about all this

00:32:25.700 honestly i've been covering this candace for two years uh like honestly i'm posting videos every

00:32:29.780 week of these stories it still leaves me speechless yeah i i'm speechless i cannot

00:32:35.620 believe that this has become the canada that i was born and raised in i i i actually cannot

00:32:41.540 believe it and by the way i wasn't born and raised in like a nice little neighborhood i was kind of

00:32:45.300 born and raised stony creek hamilton not you know we were i were living in shelters in the beginning

00:32:49.540 my family from immigrants right it was way better back then than where i'm living in oakville today 0.98

00:32:54.340 i can't believe i'm saying this but this is the truth and more more studies that have shown this

00:32:59.620 so property crime per hundred thousand population canada versus the united states uh the the

00:33:05.460 property crime in canada is rising at a higher rate than in the united states and this is the

00:33:12.100 crime rates between 1985 to 2023 and you can see how it's just completely deteriorated and violent

00:33:20.820 crime as well. So that one's property crime. The next one is violent crime, Canada versus the

00:33:26.140 United States. So, you know, this shows that the Americans are still, cities are still more 0.84

00:33:32.240 dangerous, but the Canadian cities are catching up at a faster rate. It's really sad and really

00:33:38.760 horrifying. So like, what do you think that we should do about this? Yeah, so I've talked about

00:33:44.580 this, I think, and specifically around because the investment from these organized crime rings

00:33:49.660 around the cars that they're shipping to the middle east and africa that's what's really

00:33:53.180 stemming this it's all starting from the money i already count i said three things that we need to

00:33:56.860 do one treat criminals like criminals in this country for these heinous crimes that you would

00:34:01.100 wish not even to your worst enemies we need to protect canadians and their families number one

00:34:05.500 so change our law legal system uh reform bill c75 reform our youth justice act make sure we make

00:34:12.940 those changes to protect our families one two our cell phones in 2025 have authentication via your

00:34:18.940 face or your pin. Give Canadians the option to have it mandatory for these vehicles to have

00:34:25.080 authentication devices in them. Two. Three. All of these cars that are being stolen are going

00:34:29.820 to the Port of Montreal. I refuse to believe, Candace, in 2025, tens of thousands of these

00:34:35.060 vehicles are being boarded in there and nobody knows what's going on. And we can't keep track

00:34:40.100 of that. Look at our partners in the United States. Look at our partners internationally

00:34:43.820 elsewhere. Look at what they're doing to reform the Port of Montreal, put in technology to start

00:34:48.920 scanning what's going through our borders understanding what's going through our borders

00:34:52.040 and do these three things and i promise you all of this doesn't just decrease it stops it will stop

00:34:58.520 well that's really interesting i want to play this clip jagmeet singh from the ndp has actually

00:35:04.700 blamed pier polia and stephen harper um for the crime let's watch that clip one particular writing

00:35:12.520 Hamilton Center, which is represented by the NDP, and businesses and people say they're

00:35:18.300 afraid to go outside because of the crime, because of the shootings that's going on.

00:35:23.820 What is the NDP doing right now to address this problem?

00:35:28.360 Thank you for the question.

00:35:29.440 First, I want to say that this is a serious problem across the country.

00:35:32.840 When Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives had the ability to make decisions, they cut investments

00:35:38.520 in border security made it harder for our men and women that serve on the borders to protect our

00:35:43.620 borders they made it harder by reducing funding by reducing staffing levels we need to make sure

00:35:48.460 that we are stopping guns from getting into our communities that's one absolute step we need to

00:35:52.420 take so they blame i don't know what he's talking about that the harper government cut the border

00:35:58.340 agencies i think he must maybe mean the bureaucracy but the the idea that somehow this is a problem of

00:36:04.060 illegal guns coming from the U.S. We just need more gun laws. Well, Justin Trudeau has implemented

00:36:08.920 many gun laws. He just did a massive gun grab where he banned another 200 models of guns from

00:36:14.500 legal gun owners. I don't think that's the problem. I don't think it's legal gun owners,

00:36:18.000 and I don't think it has to do with cuts to the bureaucracy. What do you think?

00:36:23.180 Absolutely. It has nothing to do with legal gun owners. Absolutely not. And who's been running

00:36:28.760 this country and who's been propping up this liberal government? It's been the liberal and

00:36:32.500 NDP. What have they done over 10 years, nine years to change anything? Has anything changed?

00:36:39.300 No. And so that's why I think at the end of the day, thankfully, this election is coming. The

00:36:43.000 question to ask yourself and everybody that you know is what has improved in your life in 10 years?

00:36:47.980 And I think you're going to get a lot of stoned faces and then you're going to know what decision

00:36:51.320 you need to make. Well, absolutely. I hope that this is a major issue in the election. It needs

00:36:55.980 to be because we're talking about our country and our security. And I don't think that it's just a

00:37:00.300 problem of immigration. It's interesting because the people who are committing the crimes kind of

00:37:04.520 seem to be of all groups. Like I'm always interested whenever they catch a group, oh,

00:37:08.440 these five people were arrested for the carjacking rings. And it's almost like there are different

00:37:13.680 types of people every time. Like it's a lot of different people from a lot of different

00:37:17.660 countries and backgrounds, including sometimes Canadians. But there's just so many compounding

00:37:22.400 issues on top of each other. And I think that you did a really good job explaining and highlighting

00:37:26.600 and I really appreciate you coming on the show

00:37:28.560 and also just all your work on social media

00:37:30.140 of showing these heinous clips

00:37:32.960 and letting Canadians know what is happening

00:37:35.020 in our communities.

00:37:35.880 It's really important.

00:37:37.000 Appreciate you doing that work for us.

00:37:39.560 Thank you very much for having me, Candice.

00:37:41.360 All right, thank you so much, Sundaram.

00:37:43.240 Okay, folks, well, before we wrap up the show,

00:37:45.760 I just want to take a moment to recognize my producer, Sean.

00:37:49.260 Sean is turning 25 years old today.

00:37:52.740 What a nice holiday.

00:37:54.280 what a nice uh time you know being 25 i was trying to think of what i was doing when i was 25

00:37:58.680 uh not working as hard as sean sean i'm gonna just embarrass you right now why don't you uh

00:38:04.040 turn your camera on and uh and and join me here sean is turning 25 he's taking the evening off to

00:38:12.200 go to see uh sean uh come on sean turn your camera on come join me i want to embarrass

00:38:17.640 you for your birthday here, pal. There we go. No, not turning on your camera. All right. Well,

00:38:25.060 happy birthday, Sean. I hope you have an awesome, awesome birthday. Wishing you the very best from

00:38:29.520 all the audience and everyone. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. Okay. Yeah. I did not

00:38:34.640 expect this at all. And I really apologize for the fact that my camera is not on. I feel like

00:38:38.860 I've really dropped the ball on this segment here. If I had been given a little more of a notice,

00:38:44.300 I would have been sure to come on looking all nice and pretty and ready to, I guess, be a part of this moment.

00:38:53.040 But thank you so much, Candice.

00:38:54.460 I'm truly surprised.

00:38:57.620 And I really appreciate you giving me the spotlight for this moment here.

00:39:02.360 And I, again, apologize that you can't see me, but my appreciation knows no bounds.

00:39:09.040 So thank you very much.

00:39:10.380 Well, no problem.

00:39:11.140 I know. So to the audience, Sean used to be the producer for the Andrew Lawton show. And then when

00:39:16.620 Andrew Lawton went on and joined politics, I recruited Sean and got him on my team. I know

00:39:21.780 occasionally you'd go on the show with Andrew and sometimes he'd have you on as a guest. So we'll

00:39:26.040 have to do that, continue that tradition here now that you're working on my show, Sean, but you do

00:39:31.320 a great job for the show. We really appreciate all the work you do behind the scenes, pulling up the

00:39:34.940 clips, getting everything ready, booking the guests. I mean, you do really tremendous work

00:39:39.180 and you don't always get recognized for it.

00:39:41.380 So I hope you have a great birthday, buddy,

00:39:43.740 and keep up the great work.

00:39:45.920 Thank you so much, Candice.

00:39:47.380 All right, well, we'll leave it at that.

00:39:49.340 Thanks so much, folks, for tuning in.

00:39:50.700 I'm Candice Malcolm.

00:39:51.240 This is the Candice Malcolm Show.

00:39:52.340 We'll be back again with all the news tomorrow.

00:39:54.720 Thank you, and God bless.
