00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is the Candice Malcolm Show. We wanted to bring you another
00:00:08.120 episode today to bring you the latest on the horrific news coming out of Northern British
00:00:13.760 Columbia. Yesterday, a mass shooting, a school shooting has left nine people dead. We've learned
00:00:19.760 that one of the people who initially was reported dead is still cleaning to life in hospital. And
00:00:24.340 again, our prayers are with that feeling. We'll give you a bit more details later, but we now
00:00:29.100 know eight people were murdered plus the gunman. And yes, it is a gunman. Some strange reports
00:00:34.200 coming from the left wing media. The media is in denial about this story. We're going to bring
00:00:38.400 that to you. And I'm very pleased today to be joined by Cosmin Georgia, Juno News, our managing
00:00:43.380 editor here who has, for the best I could tell, stayed up all night reporting on this unbelievable
00:00:48.340 story. The first one in the world to identify the shooter's identity. And yes, he is trans.
00:00:55.100 It's so strange to see the legacy media and the CBC bending themselves into a pretzel,
00:00:59.220 pretending that this was some kind of a woman or just not saying the gender. And we have just had
00:01:04.520 an update from the RCMP Deputy Commissioner, Dwayne McDonald, BC RCMP commanding officer,
00:01:09.540 giving a press conference. We'll bring the latest. But first, we will go to you, Cosmin Georgia.
00:01:13.900 Thank you for joining the show.
00:01:16.200 Thanks for having me, Candice.
00:01:17.660 Okay. So tell me about how the day unfolded for you yesterday. You saw the alert. You know,
00:01:22.700 you obviously put everything else to the side and started working on it, started working your sources
00:01:25.780 and your phone, and you were able to speak to a family member of the shooter. So why don't you
00:01:30.100 run us through what happened for you yesterday?
00:01:33.460 Right. It was in the afternoon. I essentially got an alert in my inbox from the local MLA of that
00:01:40.820 region. I guess I'm on his press list. And it essentially said there's a active shooter alert
00:01:47.320 alert in Tumblr Ridge. Now that active shooter alert was sent out to multiple towns in that area.
00:01:56.300 And we all started to see this unfold. The RCMP did not confirm the amount of casualties until
00:02:03.880 later in the day. Now, obviously, as you mentioned, they've changed that number slightly.
00:02:08.520 There's nine people confirmed dead, including the shooter. And into the evening, we saw speculation
00:02:15.940 and potential suspects emerge all over social media. And as a journalist, I set out to verify
00:02:24.520 this first and foremost, because the RCMP was not answering calls, they would not release any
00:02:30.740 information about the suspect's identity. So I decided, let's go to primary sources and contacted
00:02:37.840 the immediate family members. So essentially, there was a number of people who were shot and killed
00:02:51.140 within the high school, Tumblr Ridge Secondary. And two people were shot and killed at a residence
00:02:57.460 linked to this shooting. And one of those people is Jennifer. And through her social media, we identified
00:03:04.460 immediate family members, grandparents, uncles, and aunts. And I contacted each of these individuals.
00:03:13.040 And the uncle, Russell Strange, got back to me and affirmed some of the things we all speculated.
00:03:22.400 So I asked him quite a few straightforward questions. I asked him, is Jesse Strange the shooter?
00:03:30.440 He said yes. I asked him if he was Jennifer's brother, and therefore Jesse's uncle? He said yes.
00:03:39.600 And then I also asked him if Jesse was transgender identified by a different gender than the one he
00:03:47.480 was born. And he said, yes, Jesse was transgender. He did not answer my question about whether there
00:03:54.400 were signs indicating Jesse would do something like this.
00:03:57.840 Unbelievable. Well, one of the things that we pointed on the news update this morning,
00:04:01.580 a lot of people online have been talking about, is when that initial news report came out, the news
00:04:05.860 alert, it seems like everyone in the area got a text message saying, be careful, there's an active
00:04:09.320 shooter. And what they said that the suspect was still on the loose, and it was described as a
00:04:14.400 female with brown hair wearing a dress. So not typically an outfit that you would wear,
00:04:20.920 you know, going out and doing something horrific like this. It's just weird even to wear a dress.
00:04:25.500 But the fact that it was dressed, the shooter, the male shooter, which you confirmed through his
00:04:31.080 uncle, was dressed as a female. It seemed that that led a lot of people in the media to be very
00:04:38.340 sort of concerned and hush-hush and not wanting to talk about it. I'm going to play this ridiculous
00:04:43.380 clip of the CBC, being careful, letting it known, stating that they're being careful not to call
00:04:50.380 this a gunman. And we heard an RCMP commissioner as well, and other reporters saying it's a gun
00:04:57.340 person, which I've never heard that before. But first, let's play this clip from the CBC.
00:05:03.300 Initially, when the active shooter alert went out, police said that they were looking for
00:05:07.780 a female with brown hair wearing a dress. But we have not heard anything more from police about
00:05:13.780 a possible suspect. Also, careful not to call the person a gunman.
00:05:19.480 Careful not to call them a gunman. Someone's shooting children at a local school,
00:05:23.480 but heaven forbid we misgender them, Cosmin. I mean, like, this is the world we live in,
00:05:29.400 I guess, where we care more about the feelings of a shooter, a maniacal maniac murdering people,
00:05:34.280 than we do about the truth. But also, the fact that Juno News, I mean, we're just like a handful
00:05:40.160 of independent reporters, right? And, you know, the powers of the legacy media, they couldn't work
00:05:46.020 their sources the same way you did. Here's the CBC urging people, this is this morning, this is
00:05:50.320 Wednesday, urging people not to jump to conclusions and just wait for the RCMP to confirm everything.
00:05:56.160 They were very, very late to name the shooter. Let's play this clip.
00:05:58.900 Also, a note on our coverage of this story today. We know at CBC News that there are people online
00:06:05.740 who are talking about the possible suspect and other details surrounding this case. But this
00:06:10.840 information has not been confirmed to us by either sources or law enforcement. And we want to stick to
00:06:17.520 confirmed details only as we continue to cover this story. And as we learn more, we will certainly bring
00:06:24.060 all of the confirmed information to you. So you're scolding us, people online, how dare you report
00:06:30.520 things that CBC hasn't independently verified? How do you feel knowing that your sources are better than
00:06:34.840 the entire state broadcaster's Cosman? Well, I'd like to point out, I didn't do anything special.
00:06:42.180 I did the basic job of journalism, and that's to go to primary sources, right? And for the CBC to say
00:06:49.140 that their job is to wait around for the police to verify and do their job for them is outrageous.
00:06:55.560 The public relies on journalists to verify that information. It's quite literally why they get
00:07:01.080 paid a paycheck. It's quite literally why they go to work. So while the RCMP is a primary source of
00:07:07.640 information as first responders, they were there on the ground responding to the scene. Absolutely.
00:07:12.560 You have to keep in mind that the police have an investigation to worry about. So that really limits
00:07:17.700 their ability to release information, share information, and they deal with all sorts of
00:07:23.000 decisions about what gets released. There's restrictions on that, right? There's chain of
00:07:28.160 command, et cetera. So that's where the media comes in, right? There are other primary sources.
00:07:34.180 There are eyewitness accounts. There are family members, friends of the suspect. And that's what we
00:07:39.980 did. We went to those primary sources. And it's honestly great reporting, Cosman. I know you guys
00:07:45.800 are up late. I saw you tweeting, I think, two or three in the morning. And then I had a team call
00:07:49.500 and Clayton was on it at eight o'clock Eastern time. So I don't think he got a lot of sleep last
00:07:53.840 night. And probably you didn't either. So we did hear from Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, BC RCMP
00:07:59.540 commanding officer. He confirmed that, yes, the mother and the perpetrator's stepbrother were killed.
00:08:07.040 So those were the two individuals that we learned were killed in the house. His family members,
00:08:10.340 his own mother and stepbrother, sadly killed. He then went to the school where we learned that he
00:08:15.640 was not a student. He had previously attended Tunbridge Secondary School, but had dropped out
00:08:21.080 four years ago. We learned that the perpetrator, the alleged shooter, I guess alleged, I think it's
00:08:26.380 pretty clear that it is him, that he is 18 years old. We reported on the show this morning that he was
00:08:31.160 17. So apologies for that mistake. He is 18 years old and that nine people are dead, including the
00:08:36.800 shooter. So he killed eight, two at the school, two at his home, five at the school, two were lifted to
00:08:42.860 hospital in Vancouver in critical condition. And we learned that he used a long gun and a modified
00:08:50.220 handgun. And they still have not determined whose weapons those were, where they belonged. And so
00:08:57.580 interesting. One final fact that we learned, according to the RCMP commissioner, Cosman, is that
00:09:03.100 the shooter, they are identifying him as Jesse Von Rustler. I know that you, I know it's interesting
00:09:09.980 because you identified him as Jesse Strange and his uncle confirmed to you that his name was Jesse
00:09:15.100 Strange. His mom's last name was Strange. His uncle's last name was Strange. So clearly he's using, I mean,
00:09:20.540 maybe his birth certificate had him as Von Rustler. I'm guessing given that he has a stepbrother, he comes
00:09:27.440 from a broken home. Maybe he switched his surname. Maybe he goes socially by one last name versus
00:09:34.320 another. I know you had an interesting, you flagged something interesting on CTV. Why don't you explain
00:09:41.880 to the audience what it is that you found there? Right. So the CTV, as far as I could tell, was the
00:09:48.960 first legacy media outlet to come out identifying the shooter. And this is what they had to say just a few,
00:09:57.020 I probably say less than an hour ago. They altered their report. And I read this verbatim. CTV News
00:10:03.900 initially reported that the shooter was identified as Jesse Strange. The RCMP later confirmed that the
00:10:10.060 18-year-old female goes by the name Jesse Van Rustler, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. So
00:10:17.400 they are still referring to this individual as an 18-year-old female, presumably to respect the
00:10:24.040 pronouns that this mass shooter used on his social media accounts. It's quite outrageous. And you're
00:10:31.580 right. The discrepancy in name, as far as I can tell, Jesse went by the strange last name. His uncle
00:10:39.780 identified him by that name. And it seems that the rest of the family used that name as well.
00:10:46.680 It just seems like almost a distraction by the RCMP media trying to say, oh, no,
00:10:51.160 it's actually this last name, making it seem like some of the independent reporter, people like us,
00:10:55.620 maybe we got the story wrong, that we had the wrong person, even though they're still doing a strange
00:10:59.860 song and dance where they call him a female. I'm sorry, anyone with two eyes can look at a picture
00:11:05.260 of this man and see he's a man. He was born a man. He's a boy. He was a boy. He's a man. And I want to
00:11:11.160 just point this out because this is turning into a hoax. OK, like if you read the legacy media and
00:11:16.780 you consume like CBC and you're just like a normie who's not really plugged into how corrupt and like
00:11:22.520 much liars these people are, you might actually believe that it was a female shooter. Look at this.
00:11:28.300 This was shared by Libs of TikTok. It's a compilation of headlines from around the world, across Canada
00:11:34.920 and around the world. I'll just read a few. NPR, which is America's state broadcaster, public funded
00:11:40.140 broadcaster, shooting at school and home in British Columbia, Canada, leave 10 dead. And
00:11:45.180 they describe the killer as a woman who believes to be the shooter was also killed. Here we have
00:11:49.980 the standard Canada school shooting, nine killed by female in dress in Tumblr Ridge, everything we
00:11:56.300 know so far. And female in dress is in quotes, which was probably from that news alert. But it said it was
00:12:02.780 described like someone who looks like a female in dress, not saying that it was a female. I'll go on here
00:12:07.280 in Detroit news, 10 dead after woman opens fire. What's this one? Modern diplomacy, 10 dead in rare
00:12:13.180 Canadian school shooting, female suspect among victims. What? The St. Albert Gazette, 10 dead,
00:12:18.480 including female suspect in devastating school shooting at BC school and home. Here's another
00:12:23.760 one. People, People magazine, my goodness. Female identified as suspect in worst Canada school
00:12:29.080 shooting in decades. Okay. The independent here, Canada, this is a big British English newspaper here,
00:12:36.740 one of the main ones in that country. Canada's school shooting leaves nine dead as female suspect
00:12:41.300 is identified. Now, Nanaimo now, which is a local news report on Vancouver Island, 10 dead,
00:12:46.500 including female suspect in devastating school shooting. And then finally, the Canadian press,
00:12:51.700 our national wire service that gives, gives its journalism to almost every news outlet, including
00:12:57.820 Western standard folks, 10 dead, including female suspect in devastating school shooting. So Cosman,
00:13:03.520 like, are we really going to do this song and dance here and literally pretend and lie and just pretend
00:13:10.500 that it was a, it was a girl, that the school shooter was a girl? Because I mean, anybody with a
00:13:15.460 brain can, can look into this story and see that it was a sick young man who among many of his other
00:13:23.320 mental illnesses, it seems also believed or wanted to believe or played into this transgender thing.
00:13:28.360 And now we have to actually serious adult people have to pretend that this shooter was female, as we saw it,
00:13:34.400 like almost all the media is doing is unbelievable. What do you think?
00:13:38.240 Well, you're right. It's an insult to the intelligence of the Canadian public. Anybody looking at this
00:13:45.760 understands what happened. And people, you know, were rightfully skeptical as soon as the police put out that
00:13:51.920 description of a female in a dress. And, you know, you've lived, you lived in BC, right? I live on
00:13:59.100 Vancouver Island. It's quite warm here. It was 10 degrees and sunny yesterday, but up in Tumblr Ridge,
00:14:04.820 where it's zero to minus one degrees, a woman, a female in a dress, it's, it raises questions,
00:14:12.520 right? It doesn't really make sense and it doesn't really add up. So when we see the media insulting the
00:14:18.540 intelligence of people like this, perpetuating this false narrative in service of their ideological
00:14:24.720 belief that this just doesn't happen, right? That transgender people don't go on mass shootings,
00:14:30.440 which they seem to consistently push this narrative, despite all the facts and the incidents we've seen
00:14:36.680 coming out of the United States. And now in Canada, it's, it's really unfortunate. And I do hope
00:14:42.160 above all the things I know about from the legacy media, that there are journalists working for these
00:14:48.100 organizations, seeing their editors and editorial boards responding like this, and seriously
00:14:54.220 considering leaving that industry and joining the independent press. Well, they should, if you have
00:15:00.280 any integrity and you have moral courage, you should consider leaving your job in the legacy media if you
00:15:05.900 work there and coming over to the good guys. I mean, I'm looking at footage here of children streaming
00:15:11.420 out of this school and there's snow on the ground. I mean, the fact that he would wear a dress
00:15:15.380 to go commit this deprived act of evil, Cosmin, makes me think it was a political statement. It was,
00:15:21.760 it was, there was something about it. And, you know, interesting that you, you mentioned school
00:15:26.220 shootings in the U.S. because I think a lot of Canadians, you know, think that the American,
00:15:31.460 American schools are incredibly dangerous and that school shooting is this, is this phenomenon.
00:15:35.660 It's a sick phenomenon. It's not very common, right? I even, I asked ChatGBT how many school
00:15:41.420 shootings has there been in the last decade. And I think there's a lot of politicization about what
00:15:46.060 is a school shooting, right? Like two gangsters shooting at each other in a parking lot in like
00:15:50.840 Oakland or Chicago is obviously the same thing as like the horror show that we saw in like Parkland
00:15:55.960 High or Uvalde, Texas. You know, there haven't been that many. I mean, I mean, there's like a handful
00:16:02.760 in the last decade. There was like five or six. And interestingly, in the last three years, the only
00:16:09.400 notable ones were the ones with trans shooters. The Catholic school in Minneapolis in 2025 and
00:16:17.080 Covenant School in Nashville where three children were killed. Both of those were trans shooters.
00:16:23.180 Obviously, the person who is alleged to assassinate Charlie Kirk, to have assassinated Charlie Kirk,
00:16:28.400 was in a relationship with a trans furry individual. So that, you know, there, there's
00:16:34.480 quite a few cases here that, that, that, that, that show that this isn't just a strange one-off
00:16:41.280 occurrence, that there's actually something perhaps quite violent linked with this ideology. What do you
00:16:46.660 think? Yes. And it does seem that the establishment media is desperate to control this narrative that
00:16:54.900 there isn't a trend of transgender linked people going on mass shootings, but all the profiles of
00:17:02.220 the recent mass shooters indicate that this is a trend. This is becoming a real problem. And these
00:17:09.620 individuals are often involved in online communities that encourage their transitions, you know, have other
00:17:15.880 issues going on. But it totally blows the lid on the media's narrative that shooters are only some
00:17:24.040 right-wing conspiracy nuts, you know, extreme rights, et cetera, which is what, not what we're
00:17:30.620 seeing from, from these incidents. Well, I, I'm trying to find the clip, but I don't think I'll be
00:17:35.600 able to find it. There was a reporter at the RCMP press conference that asked something along the lines
00:17:41.220 of, um, was this, was this the result of bullying and transphobia? Like, as if like the shooter was
00:17:47.020 somehow justified because maybe he was a victim of bullying and transphobia. I mean, this just shows the
00:17:52.100 whole sort of backwards upside down world that some of these journalists live in. I just want to give
00:17:57.120 one more report before we wrap it up here. Cosmin, uh, on the show this morning, I read a letter from
00:18:02.500 the mother of one of the girls who was sadly shot and is in critical condition in Vancouver. We're
00:18:08.080 talking about a 12 year old girl where her mom just put an update up on Facebook. So I'll read that
00:18:12.720 quickly here. She says, update. We were warned the damage to her brain was too much for her to endure.
00:18:18.160 We wouldn't make it, she wouldn't make it through the night. I can feel her in my heart. I can feel
00:18:22.000 her saying it's going to be okay. I cannot reply to the amount of messages we've received, but I am
00:18:26.380 so grateful for all the love and support she's here. We don't know for how much longer, but she's
00:18:30.580 here. It was just a normal day. Our community has been shattered. Our baby needs a miracle. My heart
00:18:34.780 bleeds for everyone who was trying to process the horrific string of events. Far too many are grieving
00:18:39.860 already. And she posted a beautiful picture of her daughter as a hockey player. And then what she looks
00:18:45.920 like now in critical condition in Vancouver hospital, I'm going to link the GoFundMe to her
00:18:52.060 family's GoFundMe. They're trying to raise money for the expenses incurred. With all of this, I'm
00:18:58.700 myself going to donate $500. I encourage everybody who can to chip in. They're looking to raise $80,000.
00:19:04.640 As of time of recording, they've put in, they've raised $58,000. So they're nearly there. All right,
00:19:10.000 Cosman, keep up the great reporting. Thanks so much for joining us. And thanks for all you do here at
00:19:14.280 Juna News. Thanks, Candice. All right, that is Cosman Jerja, our managing editor at Juna News,
00:19:21.120 doing some tremendous work on the journalism front over there. All right, I want to bring in
00:19:25.460 another guest today who can really help us understand this person knows more about this
00:19:29.580 phenomenon of transgender ideology than almost anybody else. He goes online by the name Billboard
00:19:34.760 Chris, also known as Chris Ellison. And he's really at the forefront of this entire issue. So Chris,
00:19:40.960 thank you so much for joining the program today. Thank you for having me, Candice. Yeah, my real
00:19:45.780 name is Chris Ellison. Ellison. Oh, I'm sorry. I had it written down wrong. Chris Ellison. And correct
00:19:51.580 me if I'm wrong, you're from British Columbia, aren't you? I am. You are. So tell me, how are you
00:19:56.640 processing this? And what do you make of what's happened in Tumblr Ridge? There have been so many of
00:20:03.480 these trans-identified school shooters in recent history, and we should be asking ourselves this
00:20:07.420 question, why is that? And we should be trying to fix that instead of trying to push it out of the
00:20:15.360 public realm of knowledge, because there's obviously something going on. And what's happening with these
00:20:21.020 kids is they're being told that they were born wrong, that they were in the wrong body. And this
00:20:27.160 boy somehow came to believe that he was a girl. This is a mental illness. This is not brave and
00:20:33.300 beautiful. And we should not affirm it. It is a delusion. And when you affirm delusions in society,
00:20:39.960 and when you celebrate mental illness, you get more of it. And also, you don't fix it.
00:20:46.460 So, for example, in Canada, we have a bill. It's called a conversion therapy bill. Bill C4. It passed
00:20:52.500 unanimously. It was a liberal bill, but the conservatives led by Rob Moore expedited it through
00:20:58.000 the House, had a verbal vote. Nobody objected. So it passed unanimously. But this bill made it a crime
00:21:03.160 to counsel these kids so that they can feel comfortable as their sex. It's totally fine to
00:21:07.940 convince a little girl she's a boy and turn her into a lifelong pharmaceutical patient and cut off
00:21:12.620 her breasts when she's 14 and sterilize these kids. That's what passes for love and inclusion in this
00:21:17.300 country. But to help them feel comfortable as their sex, as themselves, that's now a crime of
00:21:24.540 conversion therapy. It's totally insane. And so what happens across the country now, everywhere in
00:21:29.720 Canada, is counsellors who would like to help these children get back to reality can't help them.
00:21:37.180 They will lose their job. They could even go to jail. Doctors can't help them. Nurses can't help
00:21:41.380 them. They will lose their jobs. So we have this social contagion raging through the culture
00:21:46.500 and it's being celebrated and no one is available to help these kids. So of course, we're going to get
00:21:53.240 more of it. And I don't know what else happened in this guy's life, but apparently I've just learned
00:21:57.760 this in the last half an hour. He dropped out of school four years ago. He was taking ketamine.
00:22:02.720 He was taking DMT. These are harsh, hallucinogenic drugs. He was taking antipsychotics, antidepressants.
00:22:12.940 He was smoking weed. Was he also taking estrogen? Obviously, all of this is terrible for him and for
00:22:19.860 his mental health. But where was the help? That's the question. And I guarantee if a social worker ever did
00:22:26.480 get to sit down with him, all the social worker would have said was congratulations on finding
00:22:31.840 out that you're really a girl and she wouldn't have helped him either. It's really unbelievable to
00:22:38.400 just read into this person's past. I mean, according to his mom's own Facebook page, and she's sadly one
00:22:44.340 of the deceased. He has been struggling with this, with mental health problems for years and years and
00:22:51.140 years, violent tendencies. She wrote about how he used to take joy in harming his siblings and other
00:22:57.460 people. And she was worried about him, right? And you kind of wonder, like, how does a person like this,
00:23:03.220 how are they not on the radar of authorities? Or like, why isn't there more dedicated help to a person
00:23:09.940 that's clearly, you know, reaching out and clearly showing signs of being incredibly disturbed? I think
00:23:18.500 you're just so right that our society's decided that it's compassionate to just, like, affirm his
00:23:25.540 views rather than actually saying, no, there's something deeply wrong here. And this person needs
00:23:30.660 help. And he never got the help that he truly, truly needed. I mean, like, what, like, it's actually
00:23:38.740 kind of wild too, Chris, because in the United States, it seems like the issue has shifted,
00:23:44.100 and that the tides have turned, and that you don't really see this advocacy for trans anymore. The
00:23:49.940 Democrats seem to have abandoned it, thankfully. But in Canada, we still have an all party consensus
00:23:56.180 the wrong way. So why is it that Canada is not shifting? I feel like socially, culturally, everyone
00:24:01.300 I talk to agrees with me on this issue. And I agree with you on this issue. And yet, it's not really
00:24:07.060 not reflected in our politics whatsoever. Yeah, look, it's beyond a shadow of doubt that we're
00:24:11.620 telling the truth. And we're the actual compassionate ones. We're the ones saying that
00:24:14.500 children are beautiful, just as they are, that they don't need drugs or scalpels. The left is saying,
00:24:19.300 oh, these children were born wrong, which is extraordinarily psychologically abusive,
00:24:23.620 never mind the physical harm that follows with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, surgeries.
00:24:28.500 Of course, they're giving these kids other drugs. This kid was on SSRIs, which is a
00:24:31.940 relatively common denominator in these schools. But the states is having progress because they elected
00:24:38.340 the Republicans and they elected President Trump, and he's exceeded all expectations in fighting back
00:24:42.180 against this. The Democrats are still determined to die on this hill. Just last week, the Attorney
00:24:48.740 General of California, Rob Bonta, announced that he was suing to reopen a gender clinic so they can keep
00:24:54.260 sterilizing kids. Now, he could have just said, oh, we lost this battle because Trump was pulling
00:24:59.380 federal funding. These gender clinics shut down even here in the state of California. And if he
00:25:04.900 was really against this, if he was a normal human being and didn't like sterilizing kids,
00:25:08.820 he could have just let that pass. But no, he's decided to file a lawsuit. So these leftists,
00:25:15.380 people need to understand, this isn't just about money. This is funded. This whole movement has been
00:25:20.660 funded by billions of dollars, by NGOs, by NGOs receiving money from leftist governments and laundering
00:25:28.580 it all over the world. It's been pushed by some billionaires. But this is like a true religion.
00:25:34.100 These people are true believers that we have gender identities. And our gender identity might
00:25:40.340 be different than our sex. Now, what a gender identity is, nobody can tell you. I know because
00:25:44.820 I've asked this question of thousands of people on the street. Ultimately, it just comes down to a
00:25:48.820 feeling. If a girl feels like a boy, then she's a boy. Well, that's crazy. And this is a cult that has taken over
00:25:58.020 every single aspect of Canadian society, from schools, from kindergarten on up. It depends on
00:26:03.940 the teacher you get. They do have autonomy. They're not all pushing this. But it's in the schools. It's
00:26:08.980 pushed by all the school unions. It's all over academia. That's where this gets the worst. It's
00:26:15.620 in every HR company in the country. It's in our government. It's in all of our regulatory bodies.
00:26:21.140 It's written into all of our human rights codes. And it's now written into law that we can't even get
00:26:24.820 these kids the help they need. So to unravel this in Canada is going to be a massive effort. Because
00:26:30.900 for every inch we try to gain, we're going to be met with a ton of resistance. For example, Danielle
00:26:35.780 Smith just passed the law last year, banning these drugs and hormones and surgeries on kids
00:26:41.780 just under 16. She should have gone higher, but it was just for under 16. Even that was met with violent
00:26:48.420 opposition and a judge right away blocked the bill. So she had to invoke the notwithstanding clause.
00:26:53.540 And this is the fight we're going to have all throughout Canada anytime we try to make any
00:26:56.980 progress with this. But it really starts with us. It starts with the people. It starts with
00:27:01.060 a grassroots movement speaking out against this and eventually politicians fearing what they fear the
00:27:07.620 most, which is not getting reelected. They will start to speak on this too. And we are seeing that
00:27:13.140 happening, especially here in BC. Actually, we've got one BC Dallas Brody, Tara Armstrong, who was
00:27:19.060 formerly with the party. She speaks out against this. Jordan Keeley does an independent. And we now have
00:27:23.700 members of the BC Conservative Party who are even running for leadership who are announcing that
00:27:28.980 they want to stop this child abuse of child transition.
00:27:31.860 It's really good to hear. I have to say I was very disappointed at the Conservative
00:27:35.700 Convention last week to see that they upheld this by a matter of 51 to 49. So I guess we do have our
00:27:41.700 work cut out for us even in the Conservative Party of Canada. They were cheering and wanted to keep up the
00:27:47.380 madness of gender identity. I just have to show you this post put together by libs of TikTok on X.
00:27:53.460 I showed it to Cosman Zherja, who, by the way, he spoke to Jesse Strange's uncle last night. And
00:28:00.100 Jesse Strange's uncle confirmed that his nephew was a shooter, his nephew was trans, and his nephew's
00:28:06.260 name was Jesse Strange. The media is now reporting something different. But look at these headlines,
00:28:10.900 all of these mainstream media, legitimate news outlets, calling the shooter a female,
00:28:16.260 saying it was a woman, saying a female shooter, suspect dead in Canada's worst school shooting,
00:28:23.220 over and over and over again. We're talking about the UK Independent, we're talking about People
00:28:27.380 Magazine, we're talking about NPR, and not to mention a handful of Yahoo News, as well as
00:28:32.820 like local small town Canadian newspapers, like the St. Albert Gazette and Nanaimo News Now. I just
00:28:40.420 can't imagine, you know, you talk about how our institutions are captured by ideological forces.
00:28:46.420 I can't imagine an editor making the call. We're going to go with, it was a female shooter here,
00:28:53.060 even though everybody knows that it was a male shooter. You could just look at a picture
00:28:56.660 of the guy and his own family members, you know, say he was trans, he was a man, he was a shooter.
00:29:03.460 You know, we had the CBC clip where the reporter is very careful not to say gunman, don't say gunman,
00:29:10.420 say gunperson, because heaven forbid, we misgender someone who's currently killing children. Like it's
00:29:17.220 just, it's so sick and so wrong. I have to say, almost everyone I talk to has shifted on this issue.
00:29:23.300 Like people don't like the transing of children. They don't like little kids being told that they
00:29:27.460 can be boys or girls. Like all the parents that I talk to, everyone I interact with, they don't like
00:29:32.500 it. They find it distasteful and wrong. And yet our politics seems to be so far behind. I know you're
00:29:37.860 out there talking to people on the streets every day. You yourself have had a huge impact in this
00:29:42.820 discussion. But again, like what, like, first of all, do you agree with me that people, like everyday
00:29:49.380 people reject this kind of thing? And, and then maybe help me understand why, you know,
00:29:53.940 it's so entrenched in Canada specifically. Yes, of course I agree with you. It's,
00:30:00.020 you'd be hard pressed in normal life when having a conversation with an adult of any age, you know,
00:30:06.980 over the age of 20, who's not taking gender studies in university, you're going to have a hard time
00:30:10.980 finding anyone who thinks it's okay to try to turn girls into boys and boys into girls.
00:30:15.780 I mean, the first time I heard about this, my jaw hit the floor, obviously, obviously it did look
00:30:21.860 at what I do for my life. Now this is my life's purpose is to try to stop this. I used to have a
00:30:27.300 real job as a financial advisor. Now I talk on the street to raise awareness all around the world. But
00:30:34.660 even the people on the left, if you say we shouldn't be sterilizing kids, for example,
00:30:41.940 they'll all say, we're not doing that. Why do they say that? Because they know it's wrong.
00:30:48.020 Right? Who's going to be able to justify that? As soon as you then present them with evidence,
00:30:53.140 well then, because they're more interested in the pride, their own personal pride, and they're more
00:30:57.540 interested in just winning a conversation instead of having one, they'll say, oh, well, actually,
00:31:01.140 it's good. Right? So it's not happening. Actually, it's good. And they, how do they justify this?
00:31:06.500 They say that kids are going to kill themselves if we don't transition them. This is the number
00:31:10.660 one argument used every single time, not just by the average person on the street, but by all the
00:31:15.300 doctors who are doing this, all of them. And why do they say that? Because the only way you can get a
00:31:23.380 parent in many circumstances to go along with abusing their own child, which is what this is, is to say they
00:31:28.420 will die if you don't do it. So it's been this method of coercion that they use all over the world.
00:31:33.300 They say you can have a dead daughter or a trans son. And parents obviously don't want to lose
00:31:39.700 their kids. And what's happened is on the left, for decades, this idea of gender identity floated
00:31:46.500 around in academia. And we can maybe go into that another time. This really goes back to the 1960s.
00:31:52.580 A man named Robert Stoller, who was a professor at UCLA in 1964, was the first to coin the term gender
00:31:58.100 identity. And then in 1965 or 66, a doctor called John Money at Johns Hopkins University
00:32:06.340 ended up experimenting on a little boy from Canada. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, two twin boys
00:32:12.500 were born to this couple. And at eight months of age, they went to get circumcisions.
00:32:18.020 And this electric device malfunctioned and destroyed this little boy's penis. His name was Bruce Reimer.
00:32:24.100 He later changed his name to David Reimer in adulthood. But the parents, of course,
00:32:29.460 were devastated. And they saw some advertisement on late night TV for what John Money was doing
00:32:34.020 in gender identity research. And they got in touch with him. And together, they all agreed
00:32:38.660 to raise Bruce, as he was then known, as a girl, not telling him he was a boy. So they castrated him
00:32:46.820 completely. Made him wear dresses, long hair. And John Money, long story short, falsified his research.
00:32:56.020 He said Bruce was doing great when he wasn't. He would tear off his dresses. He wanted to play with
00:33:02.740 trucks and trains. And he would get bullied at school because of his appearance. And finally,
00:33:08.900 at 14 years of age, they told him the truth. And he instantly rejected it. He adopted the name David.
00:33:14.900 And long story short, both of these young men in adulthood, because of a lot of the trauma they
00:33:22.260 experienced, including when John Money had them doing sexual things to each other as children,
00:33:26.740 they both ended up killing themselves. But John Money falsified his research. He said it was a success.
00:33:32.260 And from that was born this idea, really, that gender is a social construct, that it's nurture
00:33:39.140 over nature. And feminists picked this up. And they teach this to this day, in all of our universities,
00:33:46.100 that our gender is a social construct. That it's just a feeling. And what's that feeling based off of?
00:33:52.580 Stereotypes. That's it. So now we're going to take a girl who hates wearing dresses and wants to have
00:33:58.020 short hair and wants to play sports with the boys. And we're going to tell this beautiful girl that she's a
00:34:03.220 boy. This is madness. It's one of the craziest things the human race has ever done. Period. And
00:34:13.620 it's going on all throughout the Western world still to this day. Yes, they're making progress with
00:34:18.580 the medical abuse in the States, but the ideology is still there. And if Trump doesn't win or JD Vance
00:34:24.180 or Marco Rubio doesn't win the next election, and a Democrat gets in, they're going to bring this all
00:34:29.140 right back. So we have a massive battle on our hands. And it's up to the people to stop it.
00:34:33.300 Because the politicians, to answer your original question, they're afraid of the media. That's it.
00:34:40.020 They're afraid of CBC and CTV and Global. How pathetic. And I'm going to speak specifically to
00:34:44.660 the men. Because I'm a man, and I think they need to be called out. And I don't want to call out all
00:34:49.780 these conservatives all the time. But they're not doing their job. They're not doing their job as a basic
00:34:53.460 human being to protect these kids. They passed this bill. They shot down this resolution to just
00:35:01.460 allow counseling at the last convention. They remain silent on it. And I think Pierre tries to hide
00:35:06.820 behind jurisdictional issues saying it's provincial issue. Well, that's not true. The bill they passed
00:35:11.380 is a federal bill changing the criminal code. This should be criminalized across the country
00:35:18.420 because it's child abuse. But anyway, as for this shooting and what's going on with this shooter,
00:35:23.220 I've gotten word that his last name is actually Jesse Van Rootselaar. So there's a blended family
00:35:28.980 here. I think his mom is straying and she remarried. But it is the same man that we've all been putting
00:35:37.620 his picture on the line. And he's just been left to wander trying to medicate himself with all these
00:35:45.300 different drugs. And we shouldn't be surprised that it's led to this because just like suicides,
00:35:53.220 shootings and actions of killers are also contagious because this idea spreads from person to person.
00:35:59.060 And the only way to really stop this is to stop this ideology.
00:36:01.860 I couldn't agree more. It's so sick to hear that origin story of this gender ideology. And I think
00:36:07.540 that this case, I mean, it's horrible and sad and horrific that this could happen in Canada,
00:36:13.620 the school shooting. I'm from BC too. And it just, it's horrifying. But the fact that this person
00:36:20.660 had a pretty much like a known mental illness and the mother used to write about the violent
00:36:26.580 tendencies and corroborated evidence that he was taking all kinds of drugs. I mean, yes, it's the
00:36:34.260 same person. We reported that the deputy commissioner of RCMP, Dwayne McDonald, just gave a press conference
00:36:39.860 about an hour ago, where he said that the surname was the guy's last name was Van Roostelar. But
00:36:47.860 interestingly, his uncle confirmed to us last night that his name was Jesse Strange. So it's not entirely
00:36:52.100 clear which name he went by, but it is the same person. And I hope that this brings the conversation
00:36:59.300 where it needs to be, which is that affirming someone's delusions is not the kind of help that
00:37:04.580 they need. And giving them drugs when they're mentally unstable, it can lead to terrible,
00:37:09.140 horrible things like what we saw on Tumblr Ridge last night. Truly unbelievable. Chris Elston,
00:37:14.740 Elston, always so great to have you on. I'll have to have you on more often. I really appreciate
00:37:19.140 your way you articulate this and all you do. So thank you so much. Thank you, Candice.
00:37:25.620 All right, folks, that's all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for tuning in. We'll be
00:37:29.220 back again tomorrow with the Candice Malcolm news update. Thank you so much. Please say a prayer for the
00:37:34.260 families in Tumblr Ridge, especially the little 12 year old in Vancouver struggling for her life.
00:37:40.260 Thank you so much. We'll be back in tomorrow. God bless.
