00:00:18.520News is breaking that Mark Carney, the prime minister elect,
00:00:22.680the prime minister that was selected by liberal insiders,
00:00:24.780is expected to call a general election this Sunday,
00:00:28.740meaning that we will go to the polls. Canadians will go and vote sometime in either late April
00:00:34.120or early May, depending on how long he sets the election. So this is good news, folks. We have
00:00:38.560been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally get a democratic mandate in this country. We need
00:00:44.000to decide for ourselves what our future will look like and who will lead our country. This is,
00:00:49.220like I've said on the show many times, I think this is the most important election of my lifetime,
00:00:53.600certainly of this this decade or longer. Do Canadians want to continue down the path of
00:00:59.780liberal governance? Or are we ready for a change? Are we ready to bring something different for
00:01:04.560ourselves and for our future? It is a very important time in Canadian politics. Part of
00:01:08.680the reason we launched Juno News is so that we could cut through the spin of the legacy media,
00:01:13.380we could report fact based news and hard hitting opinion. So I'm going to encourage everyone to
00:01:18.140head on over to Juno News and subscribe $10 a month or $100 a year, you get access to
00:01:23.560all of our library, all of our catalogue of news and podcasts. And we've also introduced
00:01:28.060Juno Polls. We have our own exclusive in-house pollster who will go out into the field by
00:01:32.980themselves independently and report on what Canadians are thinking, what the mood of the
00:01:37.400country is at the moment. We posted a interview that I did last night about the collapse of the
00:01:42.860NDP. This is the real story, folks, of the election so far. I know a lot of people are talking about
00:01:46.860how Pierre Polyev has lost support and that the Liberals are capitalizing on that. When you look
00:01:51.140the polls the story is that the ndp has completely collapsed and as we all know conservatives rely
00:01:57.620on a bit of a splitting of the vote between liberals and between conservative sorry between
00:02:01.460liberals and ndp in order to get through and that is just not happening because the liberals uh are
00:02:06.980picking up all of that ndp vote okay we're going to talk about that we're going to talk about the
00:02:12.500canadian economy under this liberal government and we're going to spend the rest of the show talking
00:02:16.500about crime the crime search that is happening in canada and i'm joined today by someone who has
00:02:21.700done painstaking efforts to highlight this crime to document it and to get the story out to canadians
00:02:28.260i'm talking about sundaram farida i hope i pronounced that correctly sundaram but he is a
00:02:34.180youtuber he has an amazing channel called cars with sundaram and like i said he has been reporting
00:02:39.540crime like no one else in the country so it's great to have you on the show sundaram thank you
00:02:43.700thanks for having me candace i'm sorry if i butchered your last name i tried
00:02:48.980that's okay uh sondra and fanaretta yeah cars are sondra but happy to be on the show lots of
00:02:53.460exciting news to talk about today yeah so let's get right to it the cbc is reporting that there
00:02:57.860will be a slap a snap election called on sunday so it will be the prime minister himself mark
00:03:02.580carney going ahead and announcing that there will be an election here is a clip of uh how
00:03:08.100that how the news is being reported on cbc mark carney will dissolve parliament and call an election
00:03:15.380this sunday that's march the 23rd uh the election day our sources are saying it varies april 28th
00:03:22.420or the may the 5th that a final decision has not yet been made but this is from sources confirmed
00:03:27.940to cbc news and radio canada so interesting because for so long we have been urging the
00:03:34.580ndp to break up the deal they've been propping up the liberals for the last four years and we've been
00:03:38.900calling on ndp leader jagmeet singh to do the right thing and allow canadians to have a vote
00:03:43.620a vote interesting that mark carney has sort of bypassed the ndp had no interest in forming any
00:03:48.820kind of an alliance with him and he's going to go trigger the election himself which obviously
00:03:53.060means he's confidence under him he obviously knows that that right now is is perhaps his
00:03:58.500best opportunity the canadians don't know him very well they might be willing to give him a chance
00:04:02.420they haven't really been scrutinized he hasn't really been properly vetted by the legacy media
00:04:06.420they seem to have no interest in asking him tough questions or digging into his past or
00:04:10.580trying to find out what he believes about certain things about the world and so on his own terms
00:04:15.300he's calling the election what do you what do you make of all this well number one i'm really
00:04:19.860happy that we're finally at this stage where there's an election going to be called i think
00:04:22.980the latest uh survey was 72 percent of canadians wanted an election so thankfully the election's
00:04:28.580coming democracy is going to be able to run its course look i think look what has happened with
00:04:32.900the cabinet of trudeau right how many people resigned at least in my riding in oakville east
00:04:36.820for example amita and and resigned when the polling looked bad then literally two weeks
00:04:41.140later i think it was two or three weeks later she came back and said no i had a change of mind when
00:04:45.060the polls change so you know the polling and i'm glad to hear that you are also doing independent
00:04:49.540polling i think the change in the polling what's happened obviously what's going on with the
00:04:54.340the tariff wars with Trump, the people losing, the NDP losing their vote over to the Liberal Party.
00:04:59.560So they're taking this opportunity. They see it as a time to go ahead and capitalize on that
00:05:03.520momentum that they have. But again, I think what's really going on again is like that shift
00:05:08.680of the numbers is really a collapse of the NDP. But I still think like in the people that I speak
00:05:12.660to every day, and again, I reach for Canadians from coast to coast like you, you know, they're
00:05:16.800still stuck on like understanding, look, what's happened over the last nine years. None of that
00:05:21.240has changed. The cabinet that Mark Carney has is primarily everybody within Justin Trudeau's
00:05:25.760cabinet. Exactly. Yeah, we've reported on that. I think it's 90 some percent the same. So it's
00:05:31.760the same people. It's Stephen Galbault, Chrystia Freeland, Dominic LeBlanc. It's the same people.
00:05:36.540And you mentioned, you know, we talked about that on the show, too. Like, I mean, these people,
00:05:41.000it's hilarious. You know, she thought that she was abandoning, jumping off a sinking ship with
00:05:44.940Justin Trudeau. And then all of a sudden, Mark Carney comes around like a knight in shining
00:05:48.920armor and she jumps right back on. So obviously that's, they wouldn't be calling an election
00:05:53.260today or on Sunday if they didn't believe that they could win. And the polls are perhaps showing
00:05:58.880them. Now, I reject the polls that I've seen that say that the liberals kind of are a shoe-in and
00:06:04.060that they're going to get a majority. I don't think that that is correct. I still have faith
00:06:07.820that the Canadian electorate will make the right decision, but the election itself is going to be
00:06:12.300so important. Like what questions are asked, how they treat the candidates, how, you know,
00:06:17.020Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives get their own message out? What kind of questions are put to
00:06:21.280Mark Carney? One of the interesting things I've noticed, also news breaking right now,
00:06:24.860is that former journalist Evan Solomon has announced or is expecting to announce that he
00:06:30.060will be running for the Liberals. So he will be running with a Liberal MP. And this is sort of a
00:06:35.280source of frustration for me, Sondran, because so many of these journalists who operate in Ottawa,
00:06:41.180part of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, it's a clique of insiders over there. They're all
00:06:45.760partisan liberals. I know that. I lived and worked in Ottawa. I know that they're all liberals, but
00:06:50.320they pretend to be neutral journalists above the fray of politics. And then, you know, when they
00:06:55.220decide to retire from journalism and get into politics, lo and behold, they always just join
00:07:00.340one party. It's the liberals because it's the biggest farce. Like we know that they're partisan.
00:07:04.760We know that they're liberals. And every now and then they let the masks slip. Or in this case,
00:07:08.880they come right out and say, okay, I'm ready to be a liberal now. And this is part of the reason
00:07:12.640why we don't get fair and balanced news coverage in this country. It's part of the reason why
00:07:16.160the Parliamentary Press Gallery is a source of propaganda. The CBC is a source of propaganda.
00:07:20.840That's why the Candace Malcolm Show exists. That's why Juno News and True North before that.
00:07:25.520That's why we built these organizations to try to break through the spin because I think the
00:07:29.480Canadians deserve to, they deserve that the politicians on the political left and people
00:07:34.060in the Liberal Party get the same level of scrutiny and tough questions as the Conservatives.
00:07:40.060That'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.
00:08:09.320and then they canned the interview really, really just distraught me in a lot of different ways,
00:08:14.540Candace. It really made me think that we have a serious real issue here in Canada where the truth
00:08:20.740and the facts can't be held to account and people can't be held accountable. And that's why we've
00:08:25.660gone into the situation that we are in today. I'm really happy that this election is coming.
00:08:30.360And the one question I think really summarizes how most Canadians should think about it is,
00:08:34.960ask yourself what has improved over the last 10 years?
00:08:39.320think about that for a second what has improved over the last 10 years and a lot of people will
00:08:44.620just blank stare at you for a long time and think about it and not be able to give you an answer
00:08:49.020right or they'll talk about like sort of trivial things like oh justin trudeau had equal members
00:08:55.500of women and men in his cabinet like how did that serve him right or like oh you know as a country
00:09:00.480we celebrate pride month now and we well i mean it wasn't that long ago that we lowered our flags
00:09:07.080to have staff and the whole country was told that we're settlers and we're we knew committed genocide
00:09:12.600and that we should be ashamed of being canadian we removed sir john and mcdonald's statues and
00:09:16.680removed his names from schools and freeways and then all of a sudden on a dime two months ago
00:09:21.560we were all told to be canadian patriots and nationalists again and all of a sudden everyone
00:09:26.040had the flag back and i mean to me it's it's all just tools of propaganda it's interesting that the
00:09:30.600cbc canceled your interview uh what did they tell you why why did they follow it up three times i
00:09:37.960didn't get a response and uh yeah all these things that you're talking about too you know i go back
00:09:42.600i was talking to my wife about this it's maslow's hierarchy of needs what are the main issues that
00:09:47.000matter to people canadians shelter their security i know there's two things we're going to talk about
00:09:53.000we have the two biggest issues right now that none of those are talked about in the liberal english
00:09:56.920debate, which blew my mind. People are worried about the 200,000 people that we have homeless
00:10:02.300on our streets, Candace. People are worried about the 2 million people that have to rely on food
00:10:06.880banks in Canada. Can you believe it? Can you believe what you're saying and what I'm saying
00:10:10.760to you? 2 million people rely on food banks in this country. Can we believe the crime that's
00:10:15.740happening in our communities, right? Our sanctuaries in our homes, like people don't feel
00:10:20.440safe. People in Oakville, in my area, are boarding up their homes with wood. I'm not joking. I've
00:10:26.400done stories on this. It blows my mind. I question how are the news media not focused on the issues
00:10:35.960that actually matter? Yes, there's those other issues there, but let's focus on the foundation.
00:10:40.740You build a house, you focus on a strong foundation. You build a country, it must be on
00:10:44.280a strong foundation. And that foundation is crumbling around us. It's unbelievable. You
00:10:49.960mentioned Oakville. So I grew up in Vancouver and I didn't know the Toronto suburbs very well.
00:10:54.700my husband's from toronto and oakville is like one of the nicest places in ontario like it is a very
00:11:00.740nice community very safe very what used to be i was at a family wedding a couple weekends ago and
00:11:06.500there i was talking to a couple from oakville and they were saying exactly what you're saying that
00:11:09.740their neighbor got broken into that their mom you know she's an empty nester and that she's basically
00:11:15.460afraid at night because her neighbor got broken into like out of control to crime in like a nice
00:11:21.140proper, safe suburb of Toronto. It's really just unbelievable what is happening in the GTA.
00:11:27.780It is unbelievable. I moved here four years ago from Hamilton, Ontario. I thought, look,
00:11:31.860I want to be in a very nice community for my family. I have a two-year-old daughter.
00:11:35.640And now we're at this point where actually Oakville and all these suburbs, we are the
00:11:39.120number one targets for these crimes because the criminals will come and scout these homes. And
00:11:45.000literally, it was just last night, Candice, it's not a joke, 400 meters away from me,
00:11:48.700another home invasion just happened. And we have a community group chat. And this is a daily
00:11:53.740occurrence. And the one gripe that I really have about mainstream media today is, look, they do
00:11:58.600cover some of the news segments, but they do not cover the true gravity of the situation. And that's
00:12:04.600the problem. They're not covering the gravity. Instead, you hear, oh, there was a break in here
00:12:08.700one month, that's it, it's done. If you look at the stats, there's actually crime maps that are
00:12:13.000given publicly available by the police, the Halton Police, Peel Regional Police, you'll see the
00:12:17.840massive amount of crime that's happening and it's not being talked about and the issue with this is
00:12:22.400is that means canadians can't do the things that they need to do to protect their families and
00:12:26.300their children now and these stories that i hear candace these people are traumatized for life
00:12:31.180their children are traumatized for life it's so painful i was speaking to a poor woman she was
00:12:36.740pregnant six months home invasion happened the second time within a year she lost her baby two
00:12:41.580weeks later because of the stress like these stories are impacting canadians and i hear from
00:12:46.080these stories from coast to coast from canadians and it's something that changes your life you
00:12:49.920wouldn't wish it to your worst enemies i promise you that no it's true i mean i like my husband
00:12:55.200travels for work and sometimes like you you're trying to fall asleep i've got four little kids
00:12:58.800in the house and you think like like what is the scariest thing imaginable it is like literally an
00:13:03.040armed man getting into your house in the middle of the night and then i watch your your tick tocks
00:13:07.600and you on instagram and it's like this is literally happening in our community and in
00:13:11.680our area it is so terrifying and it's still un-canadian to me uh we're going to get into
00:13:16.160some more of these crime stories in a minute but i want to start by talking about the canadian
00:13:20.160economy because you know you're talking about the hierarchy of needs here and obviously like
00:13:24.000shelter and safety are number one but like having an opportunity to start a business to get a good
00:13:30.080job to provide for your family that is like the key most important thing in a country in a society
00:13:36.560i don't think it's the government's job to you give people jobs and to give them opportunities
00:13:40.640But 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?
00:14:05.780And we can go through some of these other graphs here. Canada's growth based on GDP per capita
00:14:12.500is even worse. We are the absolute worst. This is over the last 10 years. I think we have
00:14:17.720this graph here showing, oops, this is a different one, but this is showing the
00:14:23.380performance. Canada's economy is on track to be the worst performing advanced economy
00:14:28.580in the entire world. We are at the very end there. Regardless of like what you're looking at,
00:14:36.880you know, Canada's GDP crumbling despite massive government spending. Here's another graph here
00:14:42.940that shows the just government spending. So spending is basically the only thing that's
00:14:49.640boosting our GDP these days is just growth in government, essentially. And then we have this
00:14:55.440other graphs showing the gap between the public sector and the private sector and you can basically
00:15:00.820just see that like since 2020 since the pandemic Canadians self-employed Canadians just basically
00:15:07.280are less and less existent and private sector growth hasn't been anywhere near public sector
00:15:12.820this is a record of the Trudeau liberals and I don't really see much difference from Mark Carney
00:15:19.480what do you think yeah look this is this is actually a multifaceted issue that's tied to
00:15:24.040crime so let's think about how you build a really strong economy you have to invest in innovation
00:15:28.360and so for your viewers that don't understand gdp per capita means really how well off do you feel
00:15:34.440and so our growth while minimal means the rest of the world's getting richer and in comparison
00:15:39.640we're getting poorer so what's that mean our quality of life has been decreasing significantly
00:15:44.360over the last 10 years and i think a lot of people feel that they feel that quality of life decrease
00:15:49.240they feel the cost of living increasing while this is happening they feel wages stagnating
00:15:54.200and so what this liberal government has done in order to boost some metrics like gross gdp
00:15:59.880what they've done is one you mentioned that's that public sector uh workers increasing
00:16:04.280significantly one two the large amount of immigration that we've brought into this country
00:16:09.960on a per on a per capita basis makes us worse off but on a gross basis makes it look like
00:16:15.880we're improving because you're adding more people more consumers into the economy then this comes
00:16:20.760up to wait we have all these people coming into the economy there's no jobs to support them there's
00:16:26.120no housing to support them there's no infrastructure to support them people are dying in our hospitals
00:16:31.880in waiting rooms and so what they've done is is essentially give us some drug to try to bolster
00:16:38.360some growth metrics while really destroying the long term uh foundation that we have as an economy
00:16:45.080and really impacting us today and so we're going to feel these effects for a long time unfortunately
00:16:49.800so regardless of what happens it's going to take five six seven years to get ourselves out of this
00:16:55.160right i know pierre polyev has talked about some of those things that he's going to do but a lot
00:16:59.000of these things have happened over 10 years and those things won't be able to change on a dime
00:17:04.200so the economy and the lack of innovation that we have in this economy as well the fact that look
00:17:09.240with now what's happening with the us with the tariff wars we obviously are inextricably tied
00:17:13.960with the united states but we didn't go ahead and leverage the natural resources that we have
00:17:18.520the lng opportunities that we have and now we're looking down the barrel of a gun where we have a
00:17:23.740significant issue with the united states where yes if we get into a tariff war we may be able to do
00:17:30.200it and inflict damage to them but they're going to be able to inflict much more damage to us and
00:17:34.780people need to understand that well and the solution that every politician has is the same
00:17:39.420which is a 25% tariff on Canadians that we pay as a 25% tax essentially on anything that's imported
00:17:45.900from the United States is just going to make it a whole lot more expensive. And there have been
00:17:50.560studies that show that the tariffs that Trump is imposing will have a moderate impact, mostly on
00:17:55.760Canadian businesses that export to US markets. But the reciprocal tariffs that we're slapping
00:18:00.780on ourselves under either a liberal or a conservative, they both agree that's the way to go.
00:18:04.680That is what's going to have a devastating impact. I wanted to go back to something you
00:18:08.760mentioned about immigration. I agree. It's something that both, again, both, both governments,
00:18:12.960conservative and liberal have used for decades to, it's almost like a shortcut to GDP growth. It's
00:18:18.680like the easiest way to grow the GDP and to boost the economy is just to bring in a whole bunch of
00:18:23.100people. Right. And the idea is if you're bringing in the best and the brightest and using the point
00:18:27.800system and bringing in people who are entrepreneurial or have money to invest, you know, that is one way
00:19:27.500Look, there could be 100 of those people.
00:19:28.780But 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.
00:19:36.860A lot of these people were promised a lot of great things about the opportunity in Canada that doesn't materialize.
00:19:41.740Then a percentage of people will resort to crime.
00:19:44.940So a lot of this stuff is it's a very nuanced issue.
00:19:48.680Of course, there's a lot of different pieces that come into play.
00:19:53.040And a lot of the times now we're letting in people.
00:19:55.300Mark Miller said this, they were letting in people without even background checks. So I've
00:20:00.000spoken to 17 different police officers from the greater Toronto area, greater Hamilton area,
00:20:06.340separate RCMP officers and CVSA officers. They tell me the majority of the increase in crime is
00:20:12.040due to the fact that organized crime has come in through our lax borders and set up shop here.
00:20:17.480Number one, it started with the fentanyl crisis, but then they found the opportunity of auto thefts
00:20:23.160And they actually diversified their business into this auto theft business.
