Juno News - Indian Chief’s SHOCKING statement at UBC + Liberal censorship bills coming

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is the Candice Malcolm Show. Today is Thursday, April 16,

00:00:07.460 2026. We have a great episode for you today. We're going to do a fireside chat with my co-founder

00:00:12.380 at Juno News, Kia Bexy. We're going to tell you all of the behind the scenes things that happened

00:00:16.820 on the day of the Juno News debate last week in British Columbia, and all of the follow. It was

00:00:22.480 really, really a wild day at Juno News and in Canadian politics. I want to start by covering

00:00:28.120 the news a little bit for you though we're going to talk about the liberal majority government that

00:00:32.440 they have stolen out of the hands of canadians and we're going to talk about the new censorship

00:00:36.680 bills that they have cooking up but first i just couldn't resist starting with this ridiculous news

00:00:41.800 story time magazine has named mark carney one of the top 100 influential people in 2026 this is the

00:00:50.440 propaganda machine of the legacy media trying to tell boomer canadians that yes our prime minister

00:00:56.040 is very influential, very important. He's doing all of the things that the elbows up crowd elected

00:01:01.220 him to do. Just listen to this absolute puffery of writing. Time magazine here says that Mark Carney

00:01:08.940 is nicknamed the George Clooney of finance. This rock star central bank governor is now turning

00:01:15.860 heads as prime minister. What turning heads as in that he's some kind of a sex symbol. That is what 0.75

00:01:21.880 they have resorted to over at Time Magazine. I'm sorry, nobody has ever called this man the George

00:01:27.660 Clooney of finance. That's not a thing. That's not a thing that anyone has ever said prior to

00:01:32.540 it being written here on Time Magazine. Guys, really just stop, okay? He's not a sex symbol.

00:01:38.700 He's not here to, you know, turn heads. That's not what's happening. He is a puppet. He was

00:01:45.080 elected because the liberals would do anything to stay in power. And Mark Carney looked and

00:01:51.300 sounded the role, but really remember they did this exact same thing with Justin Trudeau. I pulled

00:01:55.860 this up when he was on the front cover of Rolling Stone magazine saying, why can't he be our

00:02:01.600 president? Look at how, look at how cute and sexy he is. Oh, this good looking guy is now leader of

00:02:06.800 Canada. How did that turn out for us? How did that turn out for our country when the American press

00:02:11.660 is swooning over how cute our leaders are? It doesn't work out well for Canadians. We don't

00:02:17.100 want it to happen again. And if this is all that they really have to try to prop up Mark Carney,

00:02:22.360 well, things can't be going that well. It's just truly pathetic. But in real news, Mark Carney 0.99

00:02:28.020 does have a majority. He stole it out of the hands of Canadians. He was not given a majority

00:02:33.240 government in the election that happened when the Canadian public went for vote. Instead,

00:02:37.200 he has been pulling one MP after another across the floor in an absolute act of treachery that

00:02:43.960 should be banned in our system. It is so unbelievable. But then the final nail in the

00:02:48.940 coffin happened on Monday night with those by-elections. The Liberals swept all three

00:02:53.520 by-elections and they now have 174 seats in the House of Commons, just enough for a majority

00:03:00.460 government. Bear with us, folks. It's going to be a rough three years with the Liberals pushing

00:03:05.780 through all of their priorities without having to worry about getting the votes from the other side.

00:03:11.420 And what is the first thing that they're interested in doing?

00:03:13.820 Well, here's Blacklock's reporter saying this on X.

00:03:16.740 Cabinet's serious about controlling legal internet content now that it has a commons

00:03:22.040 majority.

00:03:22.840 Mark Miller, the Minister of Heritage, tells reporters that there are some opportunities

00:03:27.360 here.

00:03:28.180 Yes, they want to censor us.

00:03:29.800 They want to shut down independent voices like Juno News.

00:04:08.360 investigative reporting that the legacy media refuses to do. You're not going to get it from

00:04:12.420 Time Magazine, who's busy writing puff pieces about our prime minister. We need independent

00:04:16.700 journalists to hold this government to account, and that is what Juno News is trying to do.

00:04:21.100 Okay, I want to just talk about one more news story before I bring on Kian Bextie,

00:04:24.940 and this is this unbelievable video that is going viral, and I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

00:04:30.120 It's so despicable. This is what the left has resorted to, but I'm going to show you a clip.

00:04:34.080 of chief charlene bellew she is an aboriginal activist she was speaking at a ubc faculty of

00:04:42.720 medicine event ubc med school faculty of medicine these are prestigious people these are fancy

00:04:49.040 people these are supposedly the elites of our society and yet they have this woman on and she

00:04:54.640 goes on an unbelievable tirade against francis widowson francis is the academic university

00:05:01.520 professor we've worked with her many times over the years she's been on the program published a

00:05:07.040 book that she wrote a chapter in called grave error she's a great activist on this topic and

00:05:13.120 she's putting together a documentary this woman chief charlene bellew really doesn't like francis

00:05:19.040 widowson remember when francis widowson went to ubc they had her arrested there was a mob

00:05:23.200 well here is bellew in her own words talking about francis widowson saying that she wishes

00:05:29.120 that someone would take her into a basement her and beat her this is what passes for discourse

00:05:35.840 at the university of british columbia it is despicable let's roll that clip um you know i

00:05:41.680 told her i wish that i our people could grab you drag you over to the camels residential school 0.97

00:05:50.320 put you into the basement speak our language to you nothing but secret beat you you hurt you

00:06:00.080 and maybe you'd understand what we our people win sir i mean you can hear the person who she's

00:06:05.600 speaking to give her some positive affirmation here go yeah we all wish that we all wish that

00:06:11.840 we could take those pesky independent thinkers the ones who ask questions and who refuse to accept 0.86

00:06:17.760 the narrative we wish we could just take them all into the basement and beat them and them and shut

00:06:23.120 them up because that's what we do to our political opponents if you're on the left and apparently the 0.97

00:06:27.760 the UBC faculty of medicine has no problem with that. No problem whatsoever. They haven't,

00:06:33.120 haven't released a statement, haven't taken that video down. They apparently endorse this idea

00:06:37.940 that that's how you treat your political enemies. This is fringe, crazy stuff, folks. And yet they're

00:06:44.200 on the mainstream and they want to censor people like me, people like Francis Widdowson, people

00:06:49.620 like you, people watching this video, they want it censored. They want it taken off the internet.

00:06:54.180 And here, you know, just last night in the Senate, they were debating this very topic of resident, they call it residential school denialism. If you ask questions about the residential schools, if you question the narrative of the unmarked graves, given that, oh, I don't know, they've never found any graves, they've never found any remains or any bodies.

00:07:10.880 but if you even question that narrative they will call you a denier they will apparently they want

00:07:16.480 to take you into the basement and also they want it banned as hate speech here are senators in our

00:07:24.140 government debating that bill c9 the one that passed a few weeks ago remember andrew lawton

00:07:27.720 was standing up against it saying that they'd taken out the religious component well now they're

00:07:31.900 talking about adding residential school denialism to that bill as hate speech a liberal senator says

00:07:38.900 the bill's sponsor, sorry, says that there are some other bills in the work that will address

00:07:43.480 this topic. So yes, it is coming, folks. Let's roll that clip. Will the First Nations be heard?

00:07:50.540 They are suffering a lot of pressure with regard to the complete denial of the burial grounds of

00:08:00.160 our ancestors who went through residential schools. There's also the Truth and Reconciliation

00:08:05.400 committee commission that was created by the government and also the inquiry on missing and

00:08:10.120 murdered indigenous women and girls so all of these exercises have taken place in this democracy

00:08:15.800 but there is still very powerful denial so can you ensure me that if there are amendments proposed by

00:08:21.000 first nations there will be an openness to it to really believe what is happening to them thank you

00:08:28.400 Senator Wells?

00:08:30.200 Good question.

00:08:31.060 And absolutely.

00:08:32.040 We know that there is a bill in the other place that is looking at residential school

00:08:37.780 denialism as well.

00:08:40.260 Bill in that other place looking at residential school denialism.

00:08:43.560 So absolutely, he says, they will crack down on this supposed hate that people have.

00:08:49.700 It's hateful, folks, to ask questions and want facts and want the truth.

00:08:54.820 If you care about the truth, that means that you have hate in your heart according to these

00:08:59.040 liberals and according to our lawmakers. It's time to modernize Canada's rules on nicotine.

00:09:04.820 Alternatives to cigarettes like heated tobacco, vaping products, and oral smokeless products

00:09:09.620 don't burn tobacco or produce smoke. Now, they aren't risk-free, but the growing body of

00:09:15.700 scientific evidence shows that they have the potential to be substantially less harmful

00:09:20.700 than smoking cigarettes. Now, despite this, Canadians are banned from accessing this critical

00:09:27.180 information and sometimes even banned from the products. Nicotine pouches remain banned in

00:09:32.580 convenience stores across the country and current laws ban communication about the risk of these

00:09:38.580 products compared to cigarettes. It's absolutely ridiculous. The evidence is here. The tools exist. 0.95

00:09:44.880 Canadians deserve to have the freedom to know about them, to learn about them, to even just

00:09:49.560 understand them. It's a free country. We should be able to have this information. So learn more

00:09:55.380 about this campaign and our friends over at Unsmoke by visiting their website, unsmoke.ca.

00:10:01.900 And thank you so much to Unsmoke for sponsoring this episode. Okay, let's bring on Kian Bexy. I

00:10:07.060 want to hear what he has to say on all of this. So folks, welcome Kian Bexy, co-founder of Juno

00:10:11.620 News. Hey, Kian, how are you doing? Hey, good, Candice. How are you? Well, I don't know. I feel

00:10:16.480 like the country is a lot less free than it was last time I spoke to you. And I mean, this majority 0.99

00:10:21.440 government is really, it's unbelievable how we got here after holding them to a minority last April.

00:10:27.880 What do you make of it all, Kian? Yeah, when you go to vote, nobody checks, 1.00

00:10:35.240 puts an X beside the person that they think, you know, is an upstanding community member. That's

00:10:40.880 just not how people go to the ballot box. They vote based on the party that that person was

00:10:46.040 selected by. That is like close to 100% of the people that go to a ballot box. So when Mark

00:10:52.800 Carney pulls someone across the aisle with his offers of international trips and funding for

00:11:03.220 local ridings, you know, if that was good money to be spent in Sarnia, why wasn't that being done

00:11:09.640 before Marilyn Gladue crossed the floor instead of after? It's clearly a bribe. It's actually 1.00

00:11:14.460 against, it's against the code of conduct of member of parliaments to members of parliament

00:11:23.080 to accept offers of office or finance or any sort of personal benefit in exchange for their

00:11:30.880 conduct in the House. And Marilyn Gladue, along with, you know, every other MP that has crossed

00:11:35.200 the floor has clearly violated that. It's pretty despicable. It's a sad state of affairs in Canada. 1.00

00:11:39.760 But, you know, luckily, we have Time magazine in the United States talking about how Mark Carney is a George Clooney.

00:11:47.320 Where would we be without American media like the Stephen Colbert and The Late Show and all these very large, very large outlets that Mark Carney relies on to prop up his brand?

00:12:02.200 He doesn't even, you know, he blows a billion and a half on the CBC, but he doesn't even use them as the primary propaganda tools that prop up his brand.

00:12:12.700 He goes to the United States time after time to use these outlets to talk about how, you know, how pretty he is or how great of a liberal candidate he would be when he launched his campaign for the leadership of the Liberal Party on the late show in the United States.

00:12:27.960 uh it's it's just a really i i'm more black pilled on canada than i've ever been this is just it's

00:12:35.800 it's tough it's tough it is tough well i saw a viral sort of i don't know meme or something

00:12:41.820 and it was mark carney ripping on the united states and talking about how canada doesn't

00:12:45.600 need them anymore and meanwhile it's like you know his daughters live in the united states

00:12:49.520 his business is based in the united states apparently i don't know if it's true or not

00:12:52.880 but someone's saying his wife lives in the united states like he spent part of his life living like

00:12:56.960 Canada is entirely dependent on the American economy to function. They're a trade partner,

00:13:02.180 they're our allies. Prime ministers and presidents come and go, but your neighbors are always there,

00:13:06.860 right? And we have this history, we have this relationship with the Americans, and yet we have

00:13:11.400 this entire political movement based on just ripping our friend and ally for political gain.

00:13:18.920 There was a piece in the Sarnia Observer that was really wild, right? So it was a Q&A with

00:13:25.220 marilyn gladu who as you know folks she crossed the floor from the conservatives one of the more

00:13:29.700 like like right-wing conservative members of the conservative caucus pro-life anti-transing all of

00:13:36.260 the things and yet she happily goes over to the liberals the sarni observer asked her what rewards

00:13:41.220 if any were you expecting for crossing to the liberals you can't bribe someone to cross the

00:13:45.780 floor that is against the law that is you cannot bribe somebody to do this you can't bribe them

00:13:50.660 for political gain and yet gladu explicitly said that she had sent minister housing minister

00:13:56.260 gregor robertson when she was re-elected 2025 a one-page report on all the things that she wanted

00:14:02.820 in sarnia and it got nowhere and then as soon as she crossed the floor lo and behold he's taking

00:14:09.300 her call and he's more interested in what she has to say i mean does that really paint a picture

00:14:14.740 of a functioning democracy a legal framework for governance to you kian it's so unbelievable

00:14:21.940 she explicitly said at the liberal party convention to in her first press conference 0.71

00:14:26.020 that she had a lot to gain personally in crossing the floor she let that slip after

00:14:31.140 reporters asked her why she did it uh you know she said it's good for the riding it's good for

00:14:35.700 the country and it's good for me personally uh pretty just it's just brazen well on their part

00:14:41.220 it's pretty sad um but at the end of the day uh i don't think it actually matters i think that

00:14:48.740 the ndp were going to prop this government up as long as they possibly could um they they didn't

00:14:54.420 want to go to an election right away they didn't have the money um the but but what but what this

00:15:00.020 is fundamentally is mark carney taking parliament and squeezing it in a parliament which is like

00:15:07.780 open transparent it's recorded it's published there's hansard and he's squeezing it all down

00:15:13.940 into a caucus room where it's against the rules to record where nobody on the outside knows what

00:15:20.660 happens where the people on the inside can't go outside and talk about what they just discussed

00:15:24.580 so they have stephen gilbo they have ndp floor crossers they have the most right-wing conservative

00:15:30.260 that perhaps was in pierre's caucus and they're squeezing that all into the liberal caucus room

00:15:35.700 where there's no one where where no one like you and i know reporters no no citizens nothing are

00:15:42.340 allowed to know what happens in that room when everyone leaves there's caucus solidarity which

00:15:47.300 basically means uh whatever happens in that room is how the country is going to be governed and

00:15:52.580 nobody gets to ask any questions about it whatsoever uh it completely abolishes the

00:15:58.180 functions of parliament and squeezes it into backroom deals uh and it's you know it's the

00:16:04.900 The media is just eating it up, too. It's pathetic. They're acting like this is normal. This is great. 1.00

00:16:08.900 There's very few people in the mainstream media that are actually critical of these floor crossings.

00:16:14.480 They're just thrilled that there's now liberal stability and the status quo of Justin Trudeau's last majority has been renewed.

00:16:22.340 You know, they're happy that Stephen Gilboa is back, able to make decisions in caucus with the respect of his colleagues.

00:16:28.620 The fact that Marilyn Gladue is in the same caucus as these buffoons is just, it's a condemnation of our society.

00:16:36.380 I couldn't agree more, Kian. It's an absolute farce. 0.97

00:16:40.500 And the idea, you know, journalists and these elites, these fancy people in the legacy media, they pretend to care about democracy.

00:16:46.400 They pretend to care about our institutions and this trust, but they don't.

00:16:50.780 At the end of the day, all they care about is liberal stability, just like you said,

00:16:55.560 a liberal majority government giving them all the things that they want, making them feel good

00:16:59.240 about their country. They actually love it when Time Magazine and the New York Times

00:17:03.560 and Rolling Stone write these ridiculous puff pieces about earlier. It makes them feel good 0.77

00:17:07.780 about themselves, even though at the same time they pretend to be anti-American and opposed to

00:17:12.240 whatever's happening in the U.S. But at the end of the day, they love the validation of that. They

00:17:15.740 don't care about the health of our system whatsoever. Okay, Kian, I want to talk about 0.99

00:17:20.660 a whole bunch of sort of juicy insider stuff happening at Juno News, including we had our

00:17:26.100 most viral video in the history of our company. I think this thing got 150 million views. We're

00:17:31.840 going to talk about that clip. We're going to talk about the behind the scenes of what happened

00:17:35.520 at the Juno News debate. Can you organize a fantastic debate out there in British Columbia?

00:17:39.740 But there was a lot of juicy sort of gossip and things that were happening the couple of days

00:17:44.460 leading up to that event, including the sort of front rudder Caroline Elliott pulling out at the

00:17:49.140 last minute and all of the details of your spat and back and forth with her campaign team and the

00:17:54.780 premier of that province made unbelievably defamatory comments about Juno News. I'm not

00:18:00.260 going to repeat them because I think that what he said was incredibly wrong. We're going to talk

00:18:04.720 about our legal options with regard to what he said. We're going to do all of that, folks,

00:18:09.700 behind the Juno News paywall. So if you want to join us, if you want to come along for this ride
