00:00:00.000 I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Happy Friday, everyone. I hope
00:00:05.300 everyone is having a great day so far. I'm very pleased today to be joined by a fan favorite on
00:00:10.540 the show. Every time I have this individual on, I get lots of positive feedback and people urging
00:00:14.100 me to invite him back. So back by popular demand, we have Mark Nixon. Mark's a content creator and
00:00:19.180 political commentator focused on real estate and economics in Canada. Mark, how are you doing?
00:00:24.540 Great. Thank you very much for having me back.
00:00:26.740 Great to see you. Okay, I want to start with a story, which is sort of, I don't usually cover
00:00:31.820 non-Canadian stories, but I promise there will be a Canadian element to the story. And I'm talking
00:00:36.160 about these horrific murders that took place in Washington, D.C. So here is the headline over
00:00:41.700 at the National Review. Pro-Palestinian man charged with a murder in shooting deaths of two Israeli
00:00:47.140 embassy aides in D.C. So I'm going to just read a little bit from this story. Really kind of sad,
00:00:53.800 gruesome story. So Elias Rodriguez, age 30, has been charged with the murder of two young
00:00:58.660 Israeli embassy staffers who were gunned down outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington,
00:01:04.080 D.C. on Wednesday night. Police charged the Chicago, Illinois native Rodriguez with the murder
00:01:09.280 of foreign officials and first-degree murder, among many others. Rodriguez chanted, free,
00:01:15.080 free Palestine, as he was being detained and told police into custody, I did it for Palestine,
00:01:20.420 I did it for Gaza. And now a little bit of information about those two deceased staffers.
00:01:25.840 It's just so sad. The staffers were Yaron Larinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgram. And they were attending the
00:01:31.760 American Jewish Committee Young Diplomats reception at the museum to discuss the humanitarian crisis in
00:01:37.940 Israel and Gaza. And when you read about these two individuals, I mean, you know, the headline,
00:01:43.100 the story is that they were Israeli staffers. So you sort of assume that they are Israeli Jews.
00:01:47.700 Well, that's not even the case, Mark, because we learned that Larinsky worked in the political
00:01:52.640 department of the Israeli embassy. He was born in Israel, moved with his family to Germany as a
00:01:57.120 child, and he was a Christian. He served in the Israeli defense force, but he embodied,
00:02:02.380 according to the ambassador they worked for, he embodied Judeo-Christian values and an example
00:02:06.660 set for young people worldwide. So he wasn't even Jewish. He was a Christian. The woman who they were
00:02:11.360 dating, and apparently they were about to become engaged. It's just such a sad story as people were just
00:02:15.200 starting their lives together. The woman grew up in Kansas City, in the suburb of Prairie Village,
00:02:21.460 Kansas. And then she ended up going to university in Washington, D.C. She got a master's degree from
00:02:27.100 the American University in Washington, D.C., and started working in the embassy's public policy
00:02:32.620 office. So she was an American. Just so horrific and senseless. And I do want to tie it to Canada, 1.00
00:02:38.840 because we've seen these pre-free Palestine protesters run, you know, circles throughout
00:02:45.640 our cities, trashing our cities, blocking traffic, ongoing protests from these same sort of people.
00:02:53.120 And now you have one going and actually crossing the line into political violence, into terrorism
00:02:57.820 in North America. And so I'm wondering if I could get your thoughts on this sad story
00:03:03.660 and maybe some of the reaction that you've seen. Yeah, thank you. So one thing that I noticed is
00:03:10.720 that this took place only a few blocks from the White House. That's the first thing that's quite
00:03:16.900 alarming. This is a very safe area. So you would never think that this type of thing would occur.
00:03:23.720 So one thing that Canadians should realize, and, you know, that's the preamble that you described,
00:03:28.440 is these were normal civilians. They weren't any special, you know, badges, anyone that would stand
00:03:35.040 out that would be targeted. It was civilians. And it doesn't matter. Like you said, it's these are
00:03:40.500 human beings. These are people. And we're seeing this uprising in Canada. So that should concern
00:03:47.060 Canadians that, you know, we saw the burning of the flags. We saw the chance that they were doing
00:03:52.800 in Vancouver last year. You know, is this a public safety concern in Canada? You know, what are we,
00:04:01.120 you know, so, and, you know, these are, these are civilians. So we, one thing that, that bothers me is
00:04:09.340 that, you know, Canada has our Canadian values. And, you know, we're seeing other countries come
00:04:16.380 to our country and, and bring those issues to, to the Canadian soil. So, um, yeah, that's my take
00:04:25.200 on that. And then we're seeing, yeah, go ahead. Well, it's North America, right? This isn't a war
00:04:29.380 zone. This isn't, doesn't really have anything to do with what might be happening in a war between
00:04:33.360 Israel and Gaza, except for that it's being brought to our doorstep. And like, I mean, for me personally, 1.00
00:04:39.060 I worked in Washington, DC as a 20 something when I finished grad school. It's been a year
00:04:42.520 working there. It's a great place to be. It's, it's very vibrant. It's full of these kind of,
00:04:46.360 like events, young people from all over the world that go to DC to work in various, you
00:04:51.440 know, embassies, but also universities and think tanks. There, there's just like a really
00:04:54.580 vibrant, fun culture in DC for young politically minded people. And so this idea that someone
00:05:00.500 was bringing this sort of horrific political violence to just murder someone cold blood
00:05:05.380 and then continue to chant the political slogan, to me is so outrageous, right? There, there should
00:05:10.340 be, you know, a concern from anyone watching this story. And then it gets even worse, Mark,
00:05:15.980 because I'm going to bring in another element, which is the cheerleading that we saw on social
00:05:20.000 media. So I'll start with Jaden Baldondia, who's recently deleted his Twitter account after
00:05:25.560 putting this out. This individual is a former Green Party candidate in the riding of Calgary
00:05:30.740 East. And this is what he writes on X just hours after the news broke. He writes 100% justified,
00:05:37.360 just like Luigi and Rodney Hilton, peaceful protest has failed. And the people need to start fighting
00:05:42.940 back against those in positions of power. Okay, 100% justified, right? So let's just look at this
00:05:49.900 individual, right? He's a young guy. He's a candidate for the Green Party of Canada, which
00:05:53.380 I assume doesn't really take much to sign up and run for Canada. It says he's an environmental
00:05:57.600 science student at Montreux University in Montreal, fighting for collective liberation. So he's some
00:06:02.800 kind of a communist. He's got a bunch of flags here. I looked it up. It's, he's got the
00:06:06.900 Palestinian flag, that the next one is the Congo flag, a Sudanese flag, and then of course,
00:06:11.960 the trans flag. And look at his location. He calls it Treaty 7, which basically just means
00:06:16.460 that he thinks that Canada is an illegitimate country and that he doesn't recognize it. And
00:06:19.780 so he calls it by like the First Nations indigenous name of people. This is really scary. This is a 1.00
00:06:25.340 dangerous mindset that has taken hold on the political left, that the types of people that
00:06:30.060 you see active in, you know, university protests, the same kind of free, free Palestine people that
00:06:35.340 we saw just ever since the October 7th attacks, people justifying those horrific terror attacks
00:06:40.740 in Israel, people cheerleading on the side of basically like murderers. And the whole idea 0.86
00:06:47.360 that like Canada's illegitimate, Israel is illegitimate. And this is becoming kind of almost 0.87
00:06:52.980 mainstream within a segment of the political left and within sort of young Canadians. What do you
00:06:59.740 think about that? It's atrocious. All lives in everywhere matter. There's no type of violence
00:07:08.980 that's acceptable. Murder is, you know, these poor young people, you know, luckily, luckily, 1.00
00:07:17.820 there's many Canadians that don't see it the same way as this young gentleman. It's, and clearly he
00:07:24.940 deleted his account for a reason because there's no place for that. None. Especially in a country like
00:07:31.940 Canada, we need to get back to our roots, which is freedom and prosperity and unity. And that's
00:07:39.340 something we've lost in the last 10 years. So. Absolutely. Okay. One more. Rachel Gilmore,
00:07:44.180 our friend, the former reporter for Global News. She also had a problem with this. So she quote,
00:07:50.600 tweeted a New York Times correspondent, just basically just saying that, you know, these
00:07:55.660 were young political staffers. They met in Washington. They fell in love. He was about
00:07:59.420 to take her to Jerusalem to meet his family and had bought an engagement ring before they were gunned
00:08:04.060 down. Right. And so Rachel Gilmore saw that tweet. And this is what she writes. She says,
00:08:08.100 it's hard to stomach such obvious displays from the world's biggest news voices that to them,
00:08:12.600 some lives absolutely matter more than others. These murders are deeply wrong and sad,
00:08:17.860 but I have never seen Peter Baker, the New York Times journalist, write this kind of an article
00:08:23.680 about a murdered Palestinian. So she's saying that, like, how dare you even cover this story and write
00:08:30.480 about them sympathetically? These were young people who were murdered in the prior life. How dare you do
00:08:35.220 that? Because there is this other war happening on the other side of the world. And I get that these
00:08:39.960 two young people work for the Israeli embassy, but they weren't like making the decisions on the
00:08:45.080 battlefield. Like they weren't like actively engaged in the war, right? They don't really have much to
00:08:50.260 do with it. And so this weird idea that like, I don't even know, I don't want to jump inside Rachel
00:08:56.380 Gilmore's brain too much. I don't think that there's much thought going into these kinds of things, but
00:09:00.180 just such a, such a, just gross thing to say. Uh, any, any final thoughts on this one?
00:09:06.820 I have two thoughts. I don't remember one time that, uh, I thought she had a good take on anything.
00:09:12.020 That's the first thought. Like, so, um, and, uh, what I'm wondering is, is she doing it for clicks
00:09:19.680 or is she really that, uh, like that? And so I, I always scratch my head going, is, are there,
00:09:26.200 there's clearly either there are people like that out there or, you know, she's doing it to,
00:09:32.000 you know, for, for, for clicks or something. Yeah, probably the latter. I don't really know. Okay.
00:09:37.320 Let's move on to a topic you're probably more comfortable with, Mark, the economic update. So there
00:09:40.840 was this inflation report that came out during the week. CBC reported this way. Inflation drops
00:09:45.460 to 1.7% in April, driven by lower energy prices after the carbon tax removal. So the sort of implicit
00:09:50.880 thing is, uh, Mark Carney has saved us already. He got rid of the carbon tax and now inflation is
00:09:55.440 going down. I think you had a bit of a different take. So what did you make of it?
00:09:59.340 Yeah. So this is kind of my neck of the woods is economy and mortgages. So for this, we had a
00:10:05.880 significant drop. So the first thing is they said for the last nine year, or while the carbon tax,
00:10:12.760 since it's been what, six years, they said that it causes zero inflation or 0.15 is so insignificant.
00:10:20.280 And you're better off with the carbon tax than without the carbon tax. Well, we find out now that
00:10:26.040 they remove the carbon tax and it actually dropped inflation from 2.3 to 2.7. But something that people
00:10:33.240 don't realize that everything else went up in inflation. So it's actually more significant
00:10:38.280 of a drop than you would think, because if we take a look at food price inflation, it exploded
00:10:44.000 upwards at 3.8%. Throughout the campaign and throughout the election, they weren't CBC and
00:10:51.440 mainstream media weren't really talking about food price inflation. We just found out now that over the
00:10:56.400 last three months, it's been exploding upwards and it's becoming problematic. And so if we take a look at,
00:11:03.720 this middle class tax cut of $800 that Mark Kearney is going to be providing us on July 1st, if he pulls
00:11:10.120 through with that, that $800, so that's for two parents working. So two parents working, living
00:11:18.840 together with zero children spend roughly $16,000 on food per year. If you actually take the 3.8% and add it
00:11:28.200 to the $16,000, you're basically wiped out. The $800 is wiped out from inflation just on food and
00:11:35.560 everything else is going up in cost in Canada. And if you are a family like myself, I got kids,
00:11:41.640 I'm spending roughly $24,000. So he needs to do a significantly larger tax cut just to make it even
00:11:50.120 for food price inflation. And that's something that people don't realize. And one thing that's
00:11:54.920 concerning is the Bank of Canada has an interest rate announcement on June 4th. And based on this
00:12:03.160 food inflation and the other inflation, even though we're at 1.7%, the likelihood of them cutting now
00:12:09.400 is 35%. There's a 65% chance of them doing nothing. So, which is concerning for people that
00:12:18.040 there's actually 60% of mortgages in Canada are renewing in this year or next year, and they're
00:12:24.440 all going to be renewing at a significantly higher amount. How much more can life become more expensive
00:12:31.160 before people become insolvent? There's another point that I want to make is there was a statistics
00:12:36.760 came out saying that Canadians on average, just to survive, the average Canadian spends $76,000
00:12:45.640 just to survive. That is after tax. That means you need to earn $108,000 just to survive. Well,
00:12:53.880 guess what? The average Canadian is not making $108,000 as a family unit. They're making $106,000.
00:13:02.120 That's the average. And we just got a report that came out
00:13:05.400 showing that one in four Canadians have food insecurity. And one in three youth have food
00:13:14.280 insecurity. So these are trends that are continuing to get worse. And we're going to have to do some
00:13:21.720 rapid development of our natural resources. And that's not electricity. That's oil and gas.
00:13:29.000 And so we're going to find out if we get the Mark Carney book of values, or are we going to get
00:13:33.560 Mark Carney the energy superpower? And we're going to have to move rapidly. So we'll see what happens.
00:13:40.440 Well, that stat that you mentioned about 60% of people having their mortgages renewed this year
00:13:44.520 or next. I mean, that's a very scary situation for many families, right? Knowing that you set up your
00:13:50.280 entire family budget based on your mortgage and what you can afford and what you can pay. And so the idea
00:13:55.720 that all of a sudden it would get thrown back at you and the interest rate could literally be double
00:14:00.040 what you were paying. I mean, people like, like, I mean, I mean, like what would you do in that situation?
00:14:07.560 Yeah. Well, we got some more statistics showing that if somebody, the people that purchased the
00:14:12.920 property over the last five years, about 93% of them are underwater. So one thing which is,
00:14:21.800 you know, when I saw that statistic, meaning the price of your, the value of your property has
00:14:26.760 dropped and gobbled up all of your, you know, the purchase. So you usually you put 20% down,
00:14:32.360 so that's gone. And what happens for these individuals, they won't have to deal with it
00:14:36.840 right now. But in five years from now, when they renew their mortgage, well, actually, if they purchased
00:14:41.640 within the last, so maybe those people this year or next year, when they're renewing,
00:14:46.360 what happens is, is, first of all, we're hearing that the credit within the banks are tightening,
00:14:53.080 meaning they're going to be more selective on who they lend to, even if you have a good job is stable,
00:14:58.680 they might actually decline you for the renewal, because they're selective. So you'll fall into a
00:15:03.960 more pricier lender, if you can find one. Also, for those people, what happens is, is they do something
00:15:10.600 called loan buy down. And loan buy down means that you have to pay the bank money in order to keep
00:15:16.680 your loan in good standing. And so for example, if you have a non insured mortgage, you have to put 20%
00:15:23.960 down. Well, if the value of your home's gone down from 1 million to 800,000, right, and then you got
00:15:30.360 an 800,000 mortgage because you did 80%. Now your value is 800,000, you'll have to buy the loan down to
00:15:37.960 640,000. So that's 160,000 that you need to come up from nowhere to buy down to be to remain whole
00:15:45.320 with your mortgage. So there's, that's something that's materializing, we're gonna have to see where
00:15:50.680 interest rates go and something to pay attention to. Because in the city of Toronto, we're already
00:15:57.560 seeing record amount of listings right now. This is the spring market. So May is usually when the real
00:16:03.480 estate market is the busiest, and it's not busy at all, there's, there's no sales, people aren't
00:16:07.800 selling anything. And I saw 10,400 condos for sale. It's just the numbers are just astronomical. And so
00:16:18.120 what happens is by summertime, it's the market is going to slow down, it's already slow. Yeah. So the
00:16:24.600 only thing that's going to happen here is prices are going to have to adjust. So I'll be I'll be making.
00:16:30.040 Yeah, sorry. Have we seen prices adjust? Because I know there's a bit of a controversy. Mark Carney's
00:16:35.720 new housing minister, Gregor Robertson, former mayor of Vancouver, was asked whether he wants
00:16:40.680 to see housing prices drop. Now, if you are young, and you haven't yet entered the market,
00:16:44.600 and you're looking to buy your first home, you need the prices to drop because no one can afford
00:16:48.680 a million dollar starter home. I mean, very few people can, right. And so you want the prices to go
00:16:52.760 down. But then in the situation that you're describing, if you bought in the last five years,
00:16:56.360 or if you're a homeowner, you absolutely don't want the prices to go down because it could mean
00:17:00.280 you lose your house. Have we started to see any any movement in prices?
00:17:04.760 Yeah, well, actually, if you take a look from three years ago, the prices are down
00:17:08.840 almost 20% in Toronto, they're coming down across the country right now. So and I expect prices to
00:17:16.760 continue to come down because what's going to save this thing where right now we will have a paused
00:17:21.800 interest rate, June 4, the bond market, the five year GOC is close to 3%. It went down to almost 2.2
00:17:30.600 and a quarter. So we're up almost 75 basis points in the last couple months. So and for people that
00:17:37.320 out there, fixed term mortgages are priced on the five year GOC. So if you're at 3%, usually you add 100
00:17:44.120 basis points above the 3%. So mortgage rates are around 4%, four and a quarter 4% right now. The
00:17:52.840 one thing is, is that the Gregor Robinson said, he doesn't want to see prices go down at all. He wants
00:18:00.680 people to maintain the value of their homes. And then people are like, well, how are you going to
00:18:07.160 make life more affordable for Canadians and people get into the housing market? And he said two things.
00:18:12.120 First, we're going to remove the GST on new homes. And then the second thing is they're going to make
00:18:16.520 these manufactured homes and slap them together and drop them places. And so basically what they
00:18:23.720 created is, you know, when I grew up, the Canadian dream was to own, you know, the white picket fence,
00:18:28.760 a nice home. And that dreams finished, especially with this liberal government, they think that the
00:18:35.480 Canadian dream is a backyard shed that basically is a backyard shed. They're going to drop it off
00:18:44.360 and then they're most likely going to rent it to you. Maybe, maybe you'll own it, but they're going
00:18:49.800 to make it affordable housing. That's unacceptable housing. In my view, we need to go bigger. We need
00:18:56.040 to dream bigger. The dream they're selling us is, is very sad for our youth. And that's why I'm so
00:19:02.760 discouraged that we didn't elect for change, something new, even if for the people out
00:19:08.520 there that were on the fence or they voted liberal. I mean, the thing is that we had the liberal
00:19:12.840 government for 10 years. We know what they're going to deliver for us. Even if you change the face,
00:19:18.360 one person, the cabinet, 85% of the cabinet is the same as if, and I, as if you would think that,
00:19:24.920 okay, there's a new leader. So this leader is going to be able to make the 85% of cabinet ministers
00:19:31.080 competent when they're not competent. It's not realistic. So, um, you know, if we want change,
00:19:38.440 um, you know, actually I have something to add here is just watching mainstream media since the
00:19:44.760 elections finished. And now we've had the sworn in, sworn in of the cabinet ministers. The one
00:19:50.200 thing I've noticed from the mainstream media and the left is that they, they're coming out and saying,
00:19:57.080 you know, um, we believe that they're going to, uh, Mark Carney and the liberal government is going
00:20:02.520 to increase wages across Canada and they're going to cut taxes and do all these things. They're
00:20:08.280 basically describing Pierre Polyev's platform. Well, I want to make it very clear to Canadians.
00:20:13.960 If you want conservative policies, you have to vote conservative. You can't expect a liberal
00:20:19.480 government to adopt conservative policies because they're not conservative. They're progressive.
00:20:24.680 They're going to print money into infinity and beyond. They're going to continue to do
00:20:28.920 everything they've done in the last 10 years. And if you expect something different,
00:20:33.080 you're going to be disappointed. Well, I think that's right. And I think that
00:20:36.440 the new cabinet that Carney introduced just reminded us of that, that this is the,
00:20:39.960 this is the Trudeau government 2.0, same people, same cast of characters don't expect anything
00:20:45.000 different. Well, the CBC, you mentioned that the legacy media was out there, uh, you know,
00:20:49.240 covering for Mark Carney. Uh, this is, this is, I would put that in this category. So this story has been
00:20:54.040 circulating online. CBC posted this article, this investigation pressure mounting on Pierre
00:20:59.880 Polyev to fire Jenny Byrne. Jenny Byrne was his national campaign manager. And folks might remember
00:21:05.560 the name because she was a pivotal part of the Stephen Harper government as well. And so I'm
00:21:11.480 going to play a couple of clips for you here, Mark, but here we have Power From Politics host,
00:21:15.880 guest host, Peter Armstrong. And he is sitting with a reporter from Radio Canada. So Radio Canada is
00:21:21.800 a French CBC and they did this report. Apparently they spoke to 12 conservative caucus members. So
00:21:26.920 members of parliament who spoke anonymously off the record, never trust a report or someone speaking
00:21:33.320 anonymously off the record. Look, if you have something to say, you're an MP, like man up and
00:21:37.880 say it on the record, come out and say it. Don't whisper it to a CBC reporter if this actually is true
00:21:43.400 and happened. Um, but I'm going to play a few clips of this report, basically just describing how these
00:21:50.040 anonymous conservative MPs want Jenny Byrne to be fired. Let's play the first clip.
00:21:55.160 They basically blame Jenny Byrne for the defeat in the last election, failing to adapt to the
00:22:01.960 situation with Justin Trudeau leaving, Donald Trump arriving on the scene, and failing to grasp the
00:22:08.920 change in the mood of the electorate when they did not change their platform, when they did not change
00:22:14.680 their message. So that's Radio Canada reporter Christian Noel kind of repeating the same
00:22:20.280 narrative that we heard like in the Globe and Mail throughout the election. We heard this from
00:22:23.880 Doug Ford and his chief of staff, Corey Tanike, saying that, oh, the conservatives didn't pivot enough
00:22:28.920 about Trump and they should have maybe spent more of the campaign talking about Trump. I dismiss that.
00:22:33.240 I think that's nonsense. I don't think that that had anything to do with the outcome of the election.
00:22:36.920 I agree that there was a period in like early 2025 when Polyev just seemed a little flat-footed,
00:22:42.920 but he caught his stride. And by the time the election was rolling around, he was back and he
00:22:46.840 was on playing, playing offense. Um, but this idea that they should have pivoted faster, uh, what do you
00:22:53.160 make of it, Mark? I think that CBC is trying their hardest to, to cause chaos within the conservative
00:23:01.480 party. That's all it is. It's mainstream media. They, they create chaos. They create scripts. Um,
00:23:08.200 what they've done here is try to create doubt. Um, there's no doubt in my mind that Pierre Polyev is
00:23:15.320 the strongest leader that conservatives have had in 40 years. How do we know this? Because we're,
00:23:21.800 Pierre Polyev was able to get 8 million votes, the largest amount of votes in 40 years for the
00:23:28.280 conservatives. There was no failure. The failure was the NDP Jagmeet Singh completely collapsing his
00:23:34.840 party and causing all of those votes to go to the liberals. People are forgetting that that's,
00:23:40.120 that's exactly what happened in this election. There was no failure for the conservatives.
00:23:44.200 Could they have done better? Of course. Could there be some reflection on how they could have done,
00:23:48.840 you know, got a little bit more because this thing was so close under 2% and the conservatives would
00:23:54.280 have taken a majority government. People need to realize that if we, if they just got a little bit
00:23:59.160 more, then yeah, it's a different, we have a different, uh, a different story here in Canada.
00:24:04.840 Well, just to your point about the best election result in 40 years, like no, no political leader
00:24:09.480 had ever crossed the 7 million vote mark, let alone 8 million. So both Polyev and Mark Carney did
00:24:14.920 better in any election than any previous leader. And that, and that includes Pierre Polyev, right? Like in
00:24:19.320 the 2021 election, the conservatives got 34% of the vote in 2025, they got 41%. So they improved
00:24:26.040 the percentage that they got by what? 7%. They got 7% more like in any other election that would
00:24:31.880 have been enough to win to your point. It was just because the NDP collapsed. And I agree that they're
00:24:36.040 just drumming this up to make a controversy and promote the infighting in the conservative. I want
00:24:41.080 to play a few more clips here. So this is Christian Newell, the Radio Canada reporter saying that sources
00:24:47.160 told him that Jenny Byrne brings out the worst in Pierre Polyev and that she basically made him
00:24:53.560 more negative. Let's play that clip. So her critics say that Jenny Byrne brings the worst out of Pierre
00:25:00.760 Polyev, out of his character, out of his negativity. For her, everything is a battle, I've been told.
00:25:06.520 If you don't win, you lose. And it brings out the negative tone of Pierre Polyev that seems to be
00:25:11.880 rubbing electors the wrong way. So rubbing electors the wrong way, yet he got 41% of the vote, which
00:25:17.960 again, folks, is better than any other conservative leaders since 1988. And Brian, one more clip for you
00:25:23.080 here, Marc. This is the same reporter saying that basically the caucus members he spoke to said,
00:25:30.920 fire Jenny Byrne or we're going to fire you to Pierre Polyev. So let's play this clip.
00:25:35.240 If she stays, if she stays, I've been said, I've been told caucus will lose patience. It will be more
00:25:43.240 difficult to support Pierre if there's a confidence vote in caucus. And it's either Pierre who shows
00:25:49.560 Janice the door or caucus will be ready to show Pierre the door. I would really like to know who
00:25:55.480 these 12 caucus members are who are on the preface of firing Pierre Polyev because I haven't heard any of
00:26:01.720 that, right? Like, I'm not saying that I'm a total conservative insider, but I talk to people,
00:26:05.320 I know people. And this is not the conversation. Like, I think Pierre Polyev has incredible support
00:26:10.920 from the base of the party and from the caucus, from MPs, because, you know, he led them through
00:26:16.360 this election. The ones that got elected, many of them got elected because of Pierre Polyev's
00:26:20.520 leadership. So from the people I speak to, you know, there's a lot of positivity around him. And so for
00:26:24.920 the CBC to pretending that there's this mounting, you know, movement to oust him as leader, like,
00:26:31.720 show her the door or we'll show you the door. Again, if that's true, I'd really like to hear,
00:26:36.440 like, people need to put their name behind it, right? Like, anonymously speaking to CBC is not
00:26:40.520 going to cut it. So I think that either the CBC is just cooking up a fake news report here
00:26:45.320 because, you know, they want to distract Canadians away from the total dumpster fire that's happening
00:26:50.200 over in the Liberal Party and their new caucus and their new cabinet and everything like that,
00:26:54.920 not even having a budget this year. Either that or, you know, these MPs who are just kind of like,
00:27:01.400 I don't know, trying to maybe see a pathway for their own leadership run or something like that.
00:27:06.840 What do you think, Mark? When they don't release names and they
00:27:10.920 say they're imaginary caucus members, you know, it's completely manufactured. There's so much going
00:27:17.720 on with the Liberal Party right now. For example, you know, it, the whole thing blew up on Mark
00:27:24.280 Carney where he didn't want to produce us a budget, this economic genius, the guy's been creating
00:27:29.560 budgets his entire life. That's why people voted for Mark Carney, even though even CBC was like,
00:27:35.560 no budget. Like, what country, what country, even the most corrupt countries, what country does not
00:27:41.800 have a budget? I don't think you can name one. Every country has a budget. So for them to come
00:27:47.960 out and not only that, he provided Canadians a costed Liberal platform. He provided numbers.
00:27:54.120 And inside those numbers, he could have ported the numbers. He could have done something with the
00:27:59.160 numbers. When you have no budget, that means you have no plan. So yeah, that's chaos right there.
00:28:08.120 And, um, and so CBC is trying to drum up stories about the conservatives, which are imaginary,
00:28:14.360 um, because there's just so much chaos with the Liberals. And another thing is elbows up. What
00:28:20.840 happened to elbows up? Elbows up is gone. We're talking about the golden dome with the United States
00:28:26.440 and CBC reported it could cost almost half a trillion dollars. And Canada is going to be a partnership in
00:28:32.920 that. That is a massive story where, and Mark Carney on his priorities, uh, press conference,
00:28:39.800 he did the other day. He said that, yeah, we're going to be partners with that because who wants,
00:28:44.040 uh, missiles or bombs dropping on your home. We only have 30 seconds to react. So we need to react
00:28:49.160 quick and we need this iron dome thing. The thing is, is that CBC even reported that the technology,
00:28:55.080 a lot of the technology doesn't even exist yet. And Donald Trump wants to create this thing in,
00:29:01.080 in his terms. So three and a half years, and he's saying it's $175 billion. It could exceed $500
00:29:08.280 billion. Um, and so all of that money that's going to be going towards that, that's, that doesn't sound
00:29:15.720 like we're finding new partnerships. That doesn't sound like we're, you know, we're moving away from
00:29:21.320 the United States and becoming partners with Europe. Another thing that really bothers me is,
00:29:26.840 you know, Mark Carney's like, we're our, our, yeah, militarily, we're going to work with the
00:29:31.560 United States, but economically we're finished. Our partnership is finished. So he wants to,
00:29:36.360 he just yesterday posted that he, he's making deals with Poland. He's making deals with Europe.
00:29:42.120 He's making deals with, with, um, Australia. Do people not realize that in order to make deals with
00:29:49.000 these countries, we need cargo ships, we need planes, we need all of this. It makes zero sense
00:29:54.600 from the guy that wants to save the planet and he's net zero, but he's making deals with, with
00:29:59.640 countries that are literally on the other side of the planet. All of that pollution to get, uh,
00:30:04.360 trade with them has to, you know, we're going to create all this new pollution. When in reality,
00:30:09.720 if something ever happens to us, like we're married to the United States, we are, uh, we are
00:30:15.560 like married. We can't move geographically. We can't move Canada and just make Canada go to Europe.
00:30:21.640 No, we're literally married. We need to figure out our problems and we need to work with the United
00:30:27.000 States, no matter what militarily, economically. And guess what? In three and a half years,
00:30:33.080 we're going to have a new president. The relationship is going to change real quick
00:30:35.960 in three and a half years. This entire thing has been drummed up in order to gain votes.
00:30:40.600 And we know that elbows up has become elbows down real quick.
00:30:44.040 And we're going to hear in the future that we, that we're doing more with the United States.
00:30:48.200 Oh, all of a sudden we have the trade deal. So the trade deal already happened with the UK.
00:30:53.320 Um, we found out about that. Um, and Mark Carney talked about these F 35s, you know, we have choices 1.00
00:31:00.440 and the Americans are respecting us all of a sudden, because we have choices. We could buy our planes and
00:31:05.080 all the middle military with Europe. Imagine, imagine buying planes from Europe and trying to get parts
00:31:11.240 from Germany or trying to get parts shipped to Canada. Like it makes zero sense. It actually
00:31:18.600 could be a risk. And so, um, we're going to see what's going to happen here. And you know,
00:31:24.200 that we will both be reporting on it because, um, yeah, it's, it's yeah.
00:31:29.400 Yeah. Well, it's, it's wild and, and they can't get their, their act together, right? Like Mark
00:31:33.960 Carney can't even find a chief of staff. So Marco Mendicino, former MP and minister was originally
00:31:38.840 tapped to be the temporary chief of staff, but now he seems like he has to stay because he can't find
00:31:43.400 anyone. You know, I was told that Mark Carney was handpicked from like these global elitist circles.
00:31:48.280 He calls himself a globalist and an elitist. You would think he would have a Rolodex full of eager
00:31:53.160 applicants to come and help him run the government and save Canada, right? It's a period of crisis.
00:31:58.280 So where's the team, right? He can't even find someone to run his office. He has to use all of
00:32:03.080 the recycled Trudeau cabinet ministers who Canadians have had enough of who destroyed our country.
00:32:08.360 Uh, it's not looking good from Mark Carney. Well, Mark Nixon, uh, great to have you always enjoy you
00:32:13.320 on the show. We'll have to have you again, uh, back in real soon. Have a great weekend.
00:32:17.000 Thank you very much.
