Juno News - MP blames CLIMATE CHANGE for Liberal failures, Poilievre delivers BASED speech

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

00:00:06.740 February 27th, 2026. And these are the top stories that we're looking into today.

00:00:11.220 That one pipeline would increase our overseas exports more than the total exports that we

00:00:18.940 have to the People's Republic of China today. It would be the single biggest increase in overseas

00:00:24.720 exports of any project in Canadian history. If this budget is passed, Alberta will

00:00:29.940 face a deficit of $9.4 billion this fiscal year. That's the reality in front of us.

00:00:36.220 They say the government of Canada does, the Mark Carney government, his foreign affairs minister,

00:00:41.620 Anita Anand, that they're going to accelerate $8 million in aid to Cuba. Now, while they're

00:00:48.840 doing that, there are a lot of things I could think of $8 million being able to do for the

00:00:54.700 Canadian people. To me, I don't like to get political or get into that kind of stuff. I

00:00:59.100 mean, like I said, we're proud Americans. And, you know, winning a gold medal, it's been

00:01:04.280 46 years since the men's ice hockey team has done that. So, I mean, the team that wins the

00:01:09.920 Stanley Cup every year accepts the White House invitation to go. So, I mean, I just think

00:01:13.520 it's something that you do.

00:01:15.620 All right, folks, we have a ton of news to get to. So we're going to dive right into it

00:01:19.320 quickly. This episode is brought to you by our friends over at Unsmoke, but more on them

00:01:23.300 a little later in the episode. Okay, so Pierre Polyev gave a speech yesterday at the Economic

00:01:28.900 Club of Canada. People are saying this is like the best speech he's ever given, and it's totally

00:01:33.000 redefining the conversation. And I think it was a very strong speech. We're going to go

00:01:37.180 through quite a bit of it. And so here it was. As you know, Conservative leader Pierre Polyev

00:01:42.460 pitched his plan to strengthen Canada's economic leverage, warning that communist China is not

00:01:48.740 a suitable trade substitution for the United States. So in this keynote address to the Economic

00:01:54.360 Club of Canada on Thursday, Polyev argued that Canada cannot control foreign leaders,

00:01:58.920 including U.S. President Trump. But what we can do is get our own affairs in order. And that has

00:02:03.640 been the major problem that we have not been able to do under the Liberal government. So I'm going to

00:02:07.960 play a few clips here. So first, he warned that we should not be complacent about the growing

00:02:13.200 threat from China. Let's play that clip. 0.86

00:02:14.960 And they became complacent. We underinvested in our military. Bureaucracies grew and blocked

00:02:21.500 in our resources. Politicians indulged in performative ideological grandstanding because

00:02:27.340 they thought that they could afford to. We made ourselves unnecessarily dependent. At the

00:02:33.600 same time, the global landscape was changing, and an overly complacent America was missing what

00:02:41.380 was happening. China's economic expansion was one of the most extraordinary phenomena in the

00:02:48.060 history of the world. This country went from having 80% of its citizens living on less than $1 a day to

00:02:54.300 the second biggest economy in the world in one generation. While American capitalism had earlier

00:03:01.180 buried clunky Soviet communism, a new authoritarian powerhouse, quietly and rapidly snuck up on the U.S.

00:03:11.060 It's 100% true. So Polly have continued saying that just because we're in a trade spat with the United

00:03:17.400 States doesn't mean that we should automatically trust China. China actually has a proven track record

00:03:22.200 of working against Canada's interests. Let's play that clip.

00:03:24.780 We should not declare a permanent rupture with our biggest customer and closest neighbor in favor of a

00:03:35.320 strategic partnership for a new world order with Beijing, a regime. 0.56

00:03:40.340 A regime the Prime Minister himself said was the biggest threat to Canada just a year ago.

00:03:55.060 Now, we seek no fight with China or its people who make up a brilliant and extraordinary civilization.

00:04:02.380 But its government and its proxies have kidnapped our citizens, stolen our technology, 0.93

00:04:06.920 interfered in our elections, and pushed fentanyl into our streets.

00:04:12.660 So Polly is obviously absolutely right about that. And it's interesting to note that

00:04:16.560 Mark Carney, Prime Minister, a year ago was saying that China was a biggest threat during the

00:04:20.420 federal election campaign, during the debates. That's what he said. And then, yeah, we saw him

00:04:25.060 earlier this year cozying up to China and saying that we have a new world order of a partnership

00:04:28.440 with them. And by the way, it wasn't just 2025 Mark Carney saying this. It's not just 2026

00:04:33.740 Pierre Polly of saying this. Canada's former Deputy Prime Minister under Justin Trudeau,

00:04:39.280 I'm talking about Chrystia Freeland, literally said the same thing this week.

00:04:42.820 This week, Chrystia Freeland came out saying that we shouldn't trust China, we shouldn't be working 0.93

00:04:47.240 with China. Here she is responding to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address,

00:04:52.280 sounding a lot like a Canadian Conservative. Let's play that clip. 0.61

00:04:54.780 My own view is we need to be a little bit skeptical of commitments from China to do that.

00:05:01.220 I was foreign minister when in retaliation for Canada's decision to honour an extradition treaty

00:05:09.140 with the United States. Two Canadians were illegally seized, arrested by China, effectively held hostage.

00:05:17.920 International experts concluded that their treatment amounted to torture. That is not the behaviour

00:05:25.340 of reliable partner. But for me, a really terrible thing that's happening right now is a lot of

00:05:32.980 people, a lot of Canadians are now coming to the conclusion that Beijing can be trusted more than

00:05:38.880 Washington. I think that's really sad. And I don't think that's in America's national interest.

00:05:44.880 Okay, I take it back. She doesn't sound like a Conservative. She still sounds like somebody who's

00:05:48.720 patronising and speaking to you like your stupid butt. That point that she made that somehow we think 1.00

00:05:52.500 that we can trust Beijing more than Washington is obviously totally absurd, completely correct. 0.98

00:05:57.540 Okay, back to Polyev and his incredible speech on Thursday. He also vowed that Conservatives would

00:06:02.140 fight for a tariff-free auto pact with the United States, offering to reverse Mark Carney's disastrous

00:06:08.360 plan to have an EV trade deal with the Chinese. And he pledged to relaunch a Canada-US pipeline.

00:06:15.600 And here's what that sounded like. And today, I am proposing that Conservatives will fight for a tariff-free

00:06:21.560 auto pact with the United States, with shared protections against Chinese imports. In short, here's the deal.

00:06:30.680 We should agree to keep Chinese vehicles out if Americans agree to let Canadian vehicles in. 1.00

00:06:38.020 A full exemption to Buy America rules so that our companies can compete on construction projects.

00:06:43.080 at a relaunch of the Keystone XL pipeline.

00:06:47.040 So, Polyev, really hitting the high marks there, sounding very, very much like the leader that Canada

00:06:52.160 needs right now. Okay, I want to change gears a little bit here, folks, and talk about the Alberta

00:06:56.400 budget, which was announced yesterday up in Edmonton at the legislature. So, here is Alberta's

00:07:01.200 finance minister, Nate Horner, who revealed the provincial budget on Thursday, noting that the budget

00:07:06.320 will run several deficits, several years of deficits, betting not what you expect from the UCP,

00:07:12.300 up in Edmonton, but they're certainly dealing with their own challenges. So, here is finance

00:07:16.360 minister, Nate Horner.

00:07:17.300 While I wish I could stand before you under better circumstances, I am still honored to rise and

00:07:23.240 present my third budget on behalf of Alberta's government. With all that said, let's cut to the

00:07:28.760 chase. If this budget is passed, Alberta will face a deficit of $9.4 billion this fiscal year.

00:07:35.120 That's the reality in front of us. Albertans deserve to hear that first, not last, not

00:07:42.900 softened or buried under technical language. Budget 2026 carries a substantial deficit, one

00:07:49.160 that is significantly higher than projected last year. With this shift, it's clear this

00:07:54.740 year will require tough choices. Some of them won't be popular, but all of them will be necessary

00:08:01.400 to face the challenges ahead. So, he noted that the budget spending increases were largely

00:08:06.340 in the public sector, mostly in health and education spending, including nearly $500 million

00:08:11.160 going to independent schools, as well as early childhood services. This is great. This is one

00:08:16.620 of the things that Alberta gets absolutely right, which is funding charter schools and independent

00:08:20.860 schools with public dollars. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to go to a good

00:08:24.780 alternative school without having to pay out of pocket, given how much money we pay in taxes.

00:08:28.960 And it is a way to decentralize education away from the teachers' unions, which are often

00:08:34.740 not working in the best interest of the students. So, that's one thing that Alberta does absolutely

00:08:39.460 right. And that's why we see great educational alternatives in Alberta. Alberta, I would argue,

00:08:45.040 is the best educated province because there's so many choices in terms of education. I went to

00:08:49.020 university in Edmonton, and I didn't go to school. I didn't go to high school in Alberta or anything

00:08:54.040 like that. But I did note that there were just so many great high schools that my friends would

00:08:58.540 go to. And you didn't necessarily just have to go to the school that was closest to where you lived.

00:09:02.360 You had a choice of public schools that you don't have to pay tuition for, but you could focus on

00:09:06.620 sports, or you could focus on arts, you could focus on whatever accelerated academics if you

00:09:13.220 were so inclined. And again, it was all part of the public framework. Really, really excellent stuff

00:09:17.540 there. Okay. So, on top of that, Alberta is also spending significantly more on public safety,

00:09:21.840 including more than $14 billion on emergency services and public safety in combating things

00:09:28.020 like drug addiction and mental health issues. Again, an area where Alberta is really rising above

00:09:32.480 the others. The province is also spending $5 million on DNA labs to streamline investigations.

00:09:38.240 The finance minister, Horner, said that extra spending is a response to higher demands

00:09:41.960 on public services due to immigration, due to a volatile global market, particularly with Alberta's

00:09:47.140 largest trading partner, obviously the United States. He said that revenues did fall short

00:09:50.280 of expectations due to several factors, including the federal policies that block the province's

00:09:55.760 economy. And of course, disappointingly low resource prices. Let's play one more clip from

00:10:01.760 the finance minister.

00:10:03.320 Record numbers of people have moved here to build better lives. But that record growth has

00:10:09.340 put real pressure on our housing, schools, hospitals, roads, and public services. And unlike population

00:10:16.140 booms in the past, where economic growth in Alberta drew people in, this time, cost of

00:10:21.960 living pressures in other provinces are pushing people out to come here. The practical effect

00:10:28.480 is that the demand for service is rising faster than government revenue is growing. Resource

00:10:34.500 revenue is volatile. Federal policies have led to lost investment opportunity. Global market

00:10:40.940 shifts add uncertainty. And inflation and trade roadblocks have driven up the cost of delivering

00:10:47.060 critical infrastructure and services. These are all major factors behind the deficit we are facing today.

00:10:54.140 Okay, shifting back to federal politics. I said this yesterday on the show, whenever the House is in

00:10:58.700 session, we always get served up a platter of just truly ridiculous quotes from our Liberal representatives. 0.69

00:11:05.020 It's really, really amazing. Some of the things that they say would be outrageous and shocking in a normal 0.84

00:11:10.700 country, but we're just like used to it. This is like the kind of nonsense that we hear from our

00:11:14.140 politicians. So speaking in the House of Commons, Liberal MP Adam Van Coverden said that the reason why

00:11:20.300 Canada has high food inflation, why it's so high, is because of climate change. It's climate change,

00:11:26.460 guys. It's nothing to do with the government's policy, nothing to do with reckless spending and the

00:11:30.460 economy destroying policies that the Liberals have enacted over the last decade. No, no, no, it's because

00:11:35.420 of climate change. And that's something the Conservatives refuse to acknowledge, apparently. So let's

00:11:39.660 play that clip.

00:11:40.620 Mr. Speaker, look, Canadians are sick and tired of these alternative conservative facts from the opposition,

00:11:45.820 Mr. Speaker. We all know that food costs too much. But instead of exploiting the challenges that

00:11:50.140 are facing Canadians right now, the Conservatives should do a little bit of reading and look into why

00:11:54.540 food costs too much, Mr. Speaker. All the research indicates that 85% of the food inflation is

00:12:00.300 due to imported factors like war and tariffs and extreme weather due to climate change,

00:12:05.260 something that Conservatives refuse to acknowledge and don't believe in, Mr. Speaker. Look, the

00:12:09.260 groceries and essentials benefit will help 12.6 million Canadians. Why won't the Conservatives get

00:12:13.820 on board and help a Canadian for a change? Always so condescending from these guys,

00:12:18.620 right? Oh, because we just need to pick up a book and read and then they'd be enlightened,

00:12:21.660 like us Liberals, and they would know that climate change is a problem for everything. Well,

00:12:25.180 unfortunately for Mr. Van Coverden, that's just not the truth. That's just not the case.

00:12:29.500 Our friend Sylvain Charleville, known as the food professor on X, just, you know,

00:12:35.260 points out, you know, if climate change is a significant driver of food inflation in Canada,

00:12:39.100 how do you explain the fact that food inflation in the United States is currently less than half

00:12:43.420 of ours? Oh, zing. Yeah, that's right. Because if it was actually climate change charging causing this,

00:12:49.980 then clearly it would be the case for every country. Not the case here. Pierre probably have

00:12:53.980 shared this graph on X, food inflation, G7 countries year over year. So it's interesting

00:12:58.940 how Canada allegedly, according to these Liberals, we just, you know, deal with the consequences of

00:13:04.220 climate change so much more than other countries, which of course makes no sense. Because if the

00:13:08.460 planet was really warming at the rate they did, they said the Liberals claim it is, then Canada would

00:13:13.020 actually be able to grow more and our food inflation would be less theoretically. But, you know,

00:13:17.180 liberal logic here. So Canada has 7.3% food inflation, next highest in the OECD or G7,

00:13:23.660 I should say, is Japan at 3.9, UK at 3.6, US at 2.9, Germany at 2.6, Italy at 2.4, France at 1.9. So,

00:13:31.980 yeah, I'm going to say no, I'm going to say that the reason that Canada has such bad food inflation

00:13:36.380 is because of our terrible government. Okay, I want to move on a little bit and talk about what the

00:13:40.300 Conservatives have been talking about and potentially a little bit of a problem with their communications

00:13:44.140 here. So I noticed that Conservative MP Jamil Javani posted this video on X. I thought it was

00:13:49.260 really accurate and really great, rightfully slamming the Liberal government for sending money

00:13:54.380 overseas to other countries instead of keeping the money here at home and using it where Canadians

00:13:59.580 really need it, right? The role of a government is to protect and to support Canadians and not all

00:14:03.900 these foreign countries when we see so much money flowing out. I'm a huge critic of foreign, I don't 0.99

00:14:07.820 think it should really be a thing. But, you know, here we saw that the Liberals were sending $8

00:14:12.780 million to Cuba and their communist government. So I'm going to play this clip from Jamil Javani,

00:14:16.780 rightfully, I would say masterfully exposing the legacy media's mistelling of this story,

00:14:22.700 the way that they frame it. It's so absurd, so ridiculous, right? It's all about, 0.96

00:14:26.300 oh, orange my bad, Trump, it's all Trump's fault. Hello, we're talking about a communist government

00:14:30.940 that, you know, punishes its own people. We're talking about a totalitarian country too, where the

00:14:34.940 government controls everything, which is part of the problem with sending aid to one of these

00:14:38.460 countries. This is what we saw in Gaza with UNRWA, right? It's the United Nations organization,

00:14:43.660 Canada funds it, and then it turns out that they, you know, are engaging in all kinds of really

00:14:47.740 ghastly activities, including terrorism. So, you know, this is a problem with sending money into these

00:14:53.100 failed states in these countries. Anyway, I'm going to play Jamil Javani masterfully dissecting it,

00:14:58.220 and then I'm going to tell you why I think that there is a slight problem here. So first, let's play that clip.

00:15:01.660 The way this is framed, so that you don't think about it as a choice between money exiting our borders,

00:15:08.780 versus money being used to the benefit of Canadian workers and businesses,

00:15:13.500 is the media has framed this as a response to the United States. And I'm going to,

00:15:19.660 I want to share with you some of the news headlines so you understand what I mean.

00:15:23.260 This is from CTV. As the United States squeezes Cuba, Canada readies aid package.

00:15:31.100 Hmm. Global news, Cuba's ambassador says the United States is suffocating people.

00:15:41.260 Associated Press, Canada prepares aid package for Cuba as it faces fuel shortages worsened by US oil

00:15:52.140 embargo. So the media has framed this decision by the Carney government as if it is a rebellion or

00:16:00.620 a resistance act, a protest to the US government. But I would say this is actually something that

00:16:08.780 we should be comparing to what we could be doing with that money at home.

00:16:12.940 Okay. And this is why there is a slight problem, because on the same day as Jamil Jamani put out

00:16:17.340 this video, Melissa Lansman, who's the deputy leader of the party, of the Conservative Party,

00:16:21.500 she's a Conservative MP in the Toronto area. She put out this statement on X. I'll read it to you.

00:16:27.100 It says,

00:16:27.420 Conservatives support sending humanitarian aid directly to Cubans, particularly to address

00:16:31.820 shortages of food and medicine. For too long, Cuba has been ruled by communist dictators who have

00:16:36.540 curtailed the rights and freedoms of its people and repressed Cubans simply for exercising basic 0.98

00:16:41.340 human rights of speech, assembly and association. The Cuban government has put its own survival ahead

00:16:45.980 of the survival of the Cuban people with the result of Cubans living in standards and facing a 0.99

00:16:50.220 humanitarian crisis. Conservatives will always be committed to promoting and protecting human

00:16:55.260 rights, democracy, freedom, the rule of law as core tenants of Canada's foreign policy.

00:17:00.540 So that's also fair. That's also good, right? At least she acknowledges that, you know, this isn't

00:17:04.940 the fault of the United States. It's not the United States' problem that Cubans are living in misery

00:17:09.740 and the humanitarian crisis unfolding is obviously the fault of the communist government. But the problem

00:17:15.100 is that she is saying that it is good to send this aid and we support it. And yet another member of

00:17:20.300 the Conservative Caucus from the GTA, also Jamil Jamani, is saying that it's bad and that they support it.

00:17:24.620 So a little bit of mixed messaging from the Conservatives, which of course is a problem

00:17:29.900 from an optics perspective because Liberals and the media will criticize them for this.

00:17:34.300 And obviously in our Westminster system of government, you know, you have party discipline,

00:17:40.140 you have a whip, you're supposed to have sort of unanimous agreement on certain policies. And so

00:17:46.060 it's a problem from an optics perspective when you can't even agree on what the policy is. And I think

00:17:52.220 the Liberals have already begun pouncing on this. So here is their latest ad that they released on

00:17:58.780 February 26th, so Thursday, basically just saying which Pierre is it while Conservatives continue to

00:18:03.900 pander and divide while we stand up for Canada. So they're pointing out that they say that the

00:18:07.580 Conservatives shift their message. A couple of them are Pierre Polyev. I think this is really unfair.

00:18:12.220 Obviously they're taking things really out of context. They're clipping something really short.

00:18:15.660 They're taking something from like three years ago and then something from today and making it seem like

00:18:19.580 Pierre is contradicting himself. But you will note that they use Jamil Javani in this ad showing that

00:18:24.860 the Conservatives are basically talking out of both sides of the mouth or accusing them of that and

00:18:28.860 saying that they're not being consistent in their messaging, which, you know, could be a criticism that

00:18:33.420 a lot of Canadians take heavily. So I will just play this liberal attack ad against Pierre Polyev.

00:18:38.860 And this is, by the way, something that Mark Carney has said, and I agree with him. He has said that we

00:18:43.180 cannot control what the US president says or does. We can control what we do on this side of the border.

00:18:49.740 It's not the Americans' fault. It's our fault. We're stupid.

00:18:52.460 The president's talk of 51st statehood, whether it is a joke or not, is unacceptable. 1.00

00:18:58.220 We are shooting ourselves in the foot if we continue this anti-America, you know, hissy fit.

00:19:04.780 A country that stands on its own feet, is master in its own home, that bows before no nation,

00:19:12.140 and a country that is unbreakable. Everything is broken in Canada.

00:19:21.820 It's time to modernize Canada's rules on nicotine. Alternatives to cigarettes, like heated tobacco,

00:19:27.500 vaping products, and oral smokeless products don't burn tobacco or produce smoke. Now, they aren't risk-free,

00:19:34.460 but the growing body of scientific evidence shows that they have the potential to be substantially

00:19:40.460 less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Now, despite this, Canadians are banned from accessing this

00:19:47.180 critical information, and sometimes even banned from the products. Nicotine pouches remain banned

00:19:52.700 in convenience stores across the country, and current laws ban communication about the risk of

00:19:58.700 these products compared to cigarettes. It's absolutely ridiculous. The evidence is here. 0.89

00:20:03.820 The tools exist. Canadians deserve to have the freedom to know about them, to learn about them,

00:20:09.340 to even just understand them. It's a free country. We should be able to have this information.

00:20:14.780 So, learn more about this campaign and our friends over at Unsmoke by visiting their website,

00:20:20.380 unsmoke.ca. And thank you so much to Unsmoke for sponsoring this episode.

00:20:25.180 All right, folks, Fake News Friday here on The Candace Malcolm Show, and I've got a couple

00:20:29.660 of examples. It seems like a theme here that the Globe and Mail is really just pushing out total,

00:20:34.860 total nonsense. So, in response to the State of the Union, this is the headline that they ran.

00:20:40.620 The State of the Union was a zoo, and Team USA were the monkeys. Really, guys? Really? We're going to go

00:20:47.100 this slow and compare our American friends to zoo animals and monkeys? Really? And, you know, what this

00:20:53.020 shows is that Canada is just such a sore loser, right? We lost at the hockey game. The Americans got gold. 0.98

00:20:58.380 Rather than being gracious and congratulating them, we're literally calling them zoo animals.

00:21:02.780 Bravo, Globe and Mail. You've really outdone yourself. But it wasn't just a Globe and Mail.

00:21:06.860 Basically, all of Canada's media decided that it was some horrific atrocity that the American

00:21:14.460 hockey team would show up to Trump's State of the Union. The State of the Union is a big deal in

00:21:18.940 Washington. It's a bipartisan event. Every single elected official in the House and in Congress,

00:21:24.700 in the Senate, show up and go to this event all of the Cabinet. It's like a big deal.

00:21:29.340 And it's supposed to be like a uniting event. Actually, I think the polls came out that of the

00:21:33.900 people who watch it, 65% enjoyed it and said that Trump did a good job. And so to most normal Americans,

00:21:40.380 it's just the president highlighting his record. Trump is obviously a showman. He's like a stand-up

00:21:45.740 comedian up there. So it's engaging and funny at times and enjoyable and all the range of emotions.

00:21:53.180 But for Canadians watching, it's like a horror show. How could he be doing this? He's a fascist,

00:21:58.060 all the stuff that the Canadian media throw at him. And then the fact that these amazing, heroic

00:22:03.020 young men, these hockey players who just won the gold, it just happened less than a week ago,

00:22:08.140 they show up. And it was brilliant from an optics perspective because these young men are the heroes

00:22:14.380 of the country. And there they are to show off their gold medal, have their moment to show off.

00:22:19.340 And again, the media were like horrified by it. One interesting, so the Toronto Star wrote this

00:22:25.980 headline here that Auston Matthews is the captain of the Leafs. He put Trump ahead of the Leafs.

00:22:30.860 Like somehow we're supposed to believe that him celebrating his gold medal, which was well-earned

00:22:35.660 and well-deserved, that somehow that's like betrayal against our dear Toronto Maple Leafs.

00:22:40.700 Total nonsense. Here is the media pounding Auston Matthews for the crime

00:22:45.980 of going and meeting the president of his country after winning a gold medal. Just absolutely

00:22:50.140 ridiculous. Let's play that clip. To me, I don't like to get political or get into that kind of 0.97

00:22:54.460 stuff. I mean, like I said, we're proud Americans and, you know, winning a gold medal, it's been 46

00:23:00.620 years since the men's ice hockey team has done that. So, I mean, the team that wins the Stanley Cup every

00:23:06.380 year accepts the White House invitation to go. So, I mean, I just think it's something that

00:23:09.980 that you do, you know, because we are proud Americans and whatever your political beliefs

00:23:16.060 may be. I mean, hopefully something like this will, you know, hopefully bring more unity to

00:23:20.620 the country and stuff like that. But, I mean, for us, you know, we believe it's a great honor no

00:23:25.580 matter who's in office. So, perhaps your phone call to you kind of elicited some negative reaction

00:23:31.100 because it probably mentioned the women's team. I know you guys became very close with that team there.

00:23:34.300 I'm just wondering your thoughts on that. Yeah, it was unfortunate. I mean, we, you know,

00:23:38.140 we love the women's team. We support them. I mean, the night we won the gold medal, we were

00:23:42.540 hanging out in the dining hall till like three, four in the morning. So, you know, it's unfortunate

00:23:47.100 that, you know, that kind of occurred. You know, we have nothing but love and respect for the women's 1.00

00:23:51.820 team and what they were able to accomplish. And, you know, it's amazing that, you know, the men's and

00:23:56.940 women's ice hockey teams are both bringing home gold medals for the United States of America. And I think

00:24:01.260 that should be talked about more than, you know, the other, but we're extremely proud of them and

00:24:06.700 happier for them and we support them a hundred percent.

00:24:09.260 Okay. Just a quick note to the legacy media. It's not a good look to treat your star hockey

00:24:14.060 player. Like he did something wrong. Like he has something to explain. Okay. He won. He celebrated.

00:24:18.860 He's allowed to do that. It just looks petty and ridiculous for these journalists to go after hockey 0.89

00:24:23.740 players. We saw it all across the board, not just in Canada, in the U S to you. I think, I think hockey 0.58

00:24:28.620 is like the last bastion of pure masculinity. It hasn't really changed a lot. It hasn't really adopted.

00:24:33.500 Sure. When you watch the NHL, you see that they are a little bit woke and they do push a lot of

00:24:37.580 the nonsense with the pride flag and the anti-racist nonsense. Uh, but by and large,

00:24:41.980 it's still a very masculine display. Uh, you still see the fighting, the body checking, you know,

00:24:46.380 it's, it's a, it's a good old boys game and that drives them crazy, right? That they want to break

00:24:51.260 it down and they want to politicize it and they want to try to humiliate these players. We saw it a lot

00:24:55.820 this week, bad look for the media, a great look for hockey players that hold their head high and say,

00:25:00.780 like Aston Matthews did there. We have nothing to apologize for. We were just celebrating

00:25:04.380 and it's supposed to be a unifying event, not something that devises. So media stop dividing.

00:25:08.700 Uh, let these kinds of things be unifying events. Okay, folks, that's all the time we have for today.

00:25:12.380 Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Kenneth Malcolm. This is Kenneth Malcolm's

00:25:14.860 Your News Update. Thank you and God bless.
