Juno News - Poilievre DOUBLES DOWN on hawkish immigration stance + Safety Minister advocates for TERRORIST

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning in,

00:00:07.920 folks. We have a great episode for you today. Now, I don't know if it's just me, maybe because

00:00:12.440 I'm a journalist and I host this podcast and I run Juno News. It seems like everyone I talk to,

00:00:17.740 every conversation, every time I go out for lunch with friends or meet up with someone,

00:00:21.400 talk to someone, even catching up online, the issue comes forward that Canada is broken,

00:00:26.800 that there is serious problems in our country. They're wide ranging. We discuss so many of the

00:00:32.340 topics here on the show, but to me, it all comes back to immigration. Canada's immigration system

00:00:38.820 has been destroyed. It has been decimated by the Trudeau liberals. And it seems to me that the

00:00:44.680 Carney government is just continuing down the same path. They have no real plan to fix things.

00:00:50.660 And so from my perspective, the thing that the Conservatives need to do is craft a strong

00:00:56.780 message on immigration, craft a better message, put forth a better position to change, have more

00:01:02.760 distance between them and the Liberals. And it's just so easy, right? All it takes is just say,

00:01:08.320 let's go back to how things were before Justin Trudeau became prime minister and flung the doors

00:01:13.800 wide open. Well, we didn't see enough on that front from Pierre Pauly of the Conservative leader

00:01:18.680 during the recent federal election, but there have been some good signs, folks. There have been some

00:01:23.800 positive signs that he is willing to take on this thorny issue, that he wants changes, that he sees

00:01:30.540 the same problems that you and I see, that so many of the problems in our country come back to this

00:01:35.500 broken immigration system. So I want to walk you through what has happened. So back in June, on June

00:01:40.860 10th, Pierre Pauly of was asked specifically his take on Bill C2. That is the Mark Carney government's bill

00:01:47.640 to crack down on fentanyl and drug smuggling. And there's a couple of provisions in there to crack

00:01:53.620 down on fake asylum seekers, people who come to the country, they stay, overstay their visa. And then

00:01:58.360 rather than going home, rather than leaving the country when they should, they just throw up their

00:02:02.600 hands and say, actually, I'm a refugee, they put an asylum claim. So Mark Carney is taking a few steps

00:02:08.100 to address this very small area of our immigration law. Pierre Pauly of was asked about that policy,

00:02:15.840 about Bill C2. And I'm going to show you what he said, because it was actually quite good. I think

00:02:20.160 that he took a step further than we'd heard him take during the federal election. And he basically

00:02:24.800 said, look, Canada needs severe limits on our population growth. 100% we do. So let's play that

00:02:31.600 clip. You support a stronger border. We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the

00:02:38.660 Liberals did to our system. The population has been growing out of control. Our borders have been left

00:02:44.800 wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs. So, so Pierre Pauly of does correctly diagnose the

00:02:52.780 problem that with severe open borders, we've seen severe population growth, not intentional, not the

00:02:57.940 native born population, growing the population as you should through, you know, people having children

00:03:03.680 and growing the population naturally. But by importing people from all over the world, including

00:03:08.420 people, frankly, who have no business being in Canada, people who are not enriching our country or

00:03:12.380 making it better. And so what happened when Pierre Pauly of made that comment? Well, the legacy media,

00:03:18.080 the Laurentian elites absolutely lost their minds, right? They flipped out. Here is the headline from

00:03:23.780 Global News, Pauly of calls for severe limits on population growth. Everybody's favorite grumpy

00:03:31.460 Laurentian elite, Andrew Coyne of the Globe and Mail and of the CBC writes this on x, he goes, he's panicking.

00:03:38.900 This is awful. Okay, Andrew Coyne, can you tell me exactly what is awful about a conservative leader

00:03:48.920 saying, hey, population growth is out of control because the Trudeau liberals have absolutely no

00:03:54.660 controls on our immigration system. And so yeah, we need to get that out of control. I don't think

00:03:59.420 Pierre Pauly of is panicking. And no, I don't think it's awful. I think that he's actually finally

00:04:03.380 hitting the nail on the head and talking about the real problem in the country and the source of that

00:04:09.020 real problem. It wasn't just Andrew Coyne. Here we have David Gordon Cook, who is the head of the

00:04:14.300 New Brunswick Media Co-op, social justice reporter here, saying this is just pathetic race baiting.

00:04:22.260 It's race baiting now to notice that our immigration system is broken. So just noticing that the Trudeau

00:04:29.040 government took a fairly functioning immigration system where we let in about a quarter million

00:04:34.020 people a year to flinging open the doors wide open, letting in somewhere between two and three

00:04:38.980 million people a year, just noticing that apparently is pathetic race baiting. Finally, we have the former

00:04:45.200 liberal immigration minister, Justin Trudeau's immigration minister, one of the people who is

00:04:49.860 actually at fault here. This is what he wrote on X. He says, Pauly of is flailing after his call for

00:04:55.920 severe limits on Canada's immigration. And yes, there is a clip that goes along with that. So

00:05:01.080 let's play that clip. Yesterday, Mr. Pauly said there should be severe limits on immigration increases,

00:05:06.900 seemingly referencing immigration targets. What do you make of the same thing?

00:05:10.440 As usual, I don't think he knows what he's talking about. It looks like he's flailing.

00:05:15.360 He doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, anybody who has eyes and has access to the internet

00:05:22.380 has probably seen some of the videos that circulate online showing some of the cultural problems that

00:05:28.380 happen from open mass immigration. And look, we can look up the numbers, right? We can check out

00:05:32.780 Stats Canada. We can check out the immigration website to see that, yes, the liberal government

00:05:38.280 has led in tremendous amounts of people from the developing world, and it is growing much, much

00:05:44.860 faster than it had previously. We'll get to all those numbers in just a few minutes. But I wanted to,

00:05:49.320 that's all leading us up to what happened this week. So after that comment from Pierre Polyev in

00:05:56.200 Ottawa, he's been in Alberta, he's been at the Calgary Stampede, he's been campaigning in the

00:06:00.760 by-election. Well, he was back in Ottawa, and I believe this is the first time he was in front of

00:06:05.160 the Ottawa Press Gallery, having a press conference since that initial event. And so you know that Ottawa

00:06:11.560 journalists, they all hate conservatives, they all hate Pierre Polyev, and they're all just waiting for

00:06:15.720 their turn to try to give a gotcha question, a gotcha moment. And so we had that yesterday. Paul

00:06:21.160 Dutch from Global News made the comment saying, you know, you previously said that you wanted severe

00:06:27.160 limits on population growth in Canada. Can you go ahead and clarify what you mean by that? And here

00:06:32.120 is how Pierre Polyev responded. To fix the problem, we've got to have, we need to put very hard caps

00:06:40.200 on immigration levels. We need more people leaving than coming for the next couple of years. 1.00

00:06:45.960 And we need, so our country can actually catch up. Our immigration policy should invite the right

00:06:53.400 people and the right numbers in a way that puts Canada and Canadians first. 0.53

00:06:58.200 A hundred percent. So Pierre Polyev has doubled down. He has ignored what the legacy media have

00:07:04.120 said. He's ignored what the fancy people, what the Andrew Coyne types have said, all the pearl

00:07:08.200 clutching, like, oh my goodness, you can't talk about immigration. How dare you even mention that we

00:07:13.000 lower the population rather than constantly grow the population through immigration. And Pierre Polyev

00:07:17.560 is doing the right thing. He's doubling down and saying, no, I didn't just misspeak last time when

00:07:21.800 I had that press conference. I was being deliberate. This is a deliberate shift in policy for the

00:07:26.760 conservatives. They are saying enough is enough. We cannot have mass immigration when we're dealing 1.00

00:07:31.720 with all of the problems that we are dealing with today. All right, folks, to help me dive

00:07:35.880 into this a little deeper, I'm pleased to be joined by Wyatt Claypool. He is a political commentator,

00:07:40.280 founder of the National Telegraph. Wyatt, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.

00:07:43.960 Absolutely. Thanks for having me on.

00:07:45.560 Well, we have some exciting news as well. Wyatt will be joining Juno News as a contributor,

00:07:49.880 as a show host starting later this week. I believe you're filming your first episode

00:07:53.880 with us at some point this week. So, Wyatt, we're very excited to have you joining the network.

00:07:58.280 Yeah, it could be a lot of fun or it could be a complete disaster, but that's on you for making

00:08:02.520 the decision. Right on. Okay, well, what do you make of Pierre Polyev and this apparent shift,

00:08:08.520 I think, in the right direction, doubling down on his comments and saying, no, no,

00:08:12.600 we do need to severely limit immigration in Canada. What do you think?

00:08:16.120 Well, it's not just Pierre Polyev rejecting the sort of conventional wisdom of Andrew Coyne types and

00:08:22.760 the rest of the legacy media and the political establishment. It's also him apparently rejecting

00:08:28.680 the, I guess, the opinions of his advisors during the election because he ran on a cap of 200,000,

00:08:35.160 250,000 new permanent residents to match the number of new houses being built per year,

00:08:40.600 but that didn't even exactly limit new temporary foreign workers or foreign students.

00:08:45.800 So, this is a big shift, and I think it's actually a very big win for the independent

00:08:50.520 media and online commentators because I don't think you could find any conservative commentator

00:08:56.440 or independent media outlet who liked the more mild reductions that he was pitching during the

00:09:02.600 election. It was better than what the liberals were doing, so naturally it was still way more,

00:09:07.960 you know, it was preferable, but this is genuinely probably what we were all asking for.

00:09:14.760 People must leave if their visas are expired, and who cares if the population goes down if people 1.00

00:09:20.120 currently can't even afford homes? Well, it's kind of funny because during the election,

00:09:25.000 there was sort of a lot of noise in the independent space about how Mark Wiseman,

00:09:29.400 the head of the Century Initiative, had joined Mark Carney's campaign, and of course the Century Initiative

00:09:34.840 is this sort of like liberal think tank that they want to deliberately increase our country's population

00:09:40.200 to 100 million by the end of the century, which is just so shockingly, it's such a shocking change,

00:09:46.600 right? Like 100 million, it won't be Canada anymore, right? It will just be a hodgepodge of all these 1.00

00:09:51.560 other people who have not assimilated into Canada, right? Like when I was growing up, Canada's population

00:09:56.120 was 30 million, now it's 40 million, right? We've boosted that population by 10 million in the last,

00:10:01.160 I don't know, 15, 20 years. And is the country any better for it? I don't know. But I would argue

00:10:07.640 the country's a lot worse than it was 15, 20 years ago. But the idea was that the media and the Liberal

00:10:12.760 Party, they didn't want anything to do with that association. They distanced themselves from it. In

00:10:16.520 fact, legacy media said that it was propagandistic and fake news to say that the Liberals wanted that

00:10:22.200 100 million population. And yet when Pierre Polyev just says the exact opposite, that no, no, we need

00:10:26.680 to decrease our population, again, pearl clutching. So it kind of proves the theory that no, they do want,

00:10:32.200 like the goal here is to drastically increase Canada's population. They want that, I mean,

00:10:36.680 maybe it won't be 100 million, but they want a bigger population. They want to artificially boost our

00:10:41.640 population. And I just want to show viewers exactly what we're talking about, because the Fraser Institute

00:10:46.600 earlier this summer had a report just outlining what we're talking about. So the headline was the

00:10:52.280 average annual immigration was 617,000 on average from 2000 to 2015, compared to 1.4 million from 2016

00:11:01.240 to 2024. So Justin Trudeau almost grew it by 3x. And let's just look at that breakdown. There's a graph

00:11:09.320 showing the types of people that are coming. And so, folks, the bottom blue line there is the number of

00:11:15.320 permanent residents that come to Canada. So people who deliberately want to come move their families 0.94

00:11:19.960 to Canada, settle here, become Canadian essentially, be on a pathway towards Canadian citizen. I think

00:11:26.760 that generally speaking, those are the kinds of people that we want, people who want to come to Canada

00:11:30.760 and, you know, be part of our future and be part of the Canadian community. And then the second

00:11:37.160 color on top of that, the pink, are temporary or non-permanent immigration. Look, I would argue

00:11:43.640 that that is even under the Harper government, if we can just leave that graph back on, even under the

00:11:48.120 Harper government, that number was still too high, right? 51% of the people coming to the country are 1.00

00:11:54.840 just here for a few years, and then they leave, or they're here as seasonal workers, and they leave,

00:11:58.680 or they're here for student visas. I mean, yeah, you could argue that you should probably have,

00:12:02.040 what, 5 or 10% student visas. People can come and study at our institutions if they're world-class

00:12:07.880 physicists or mathematicians, or if they, again, want an opportunity to come to Canada. But I would

00:12:12.840 even argue that that 50% number is too high. And you can see that it was going up, and then you can

00:12:18.360 see the white line halfway through, that's 2015. And look at what has happened under the Liberal

00:12:23.080 government. The absolute proliferation of temporary workers, up to 76% of the newcomers. You can see that

00:12:30.920 that number's gone all the way up to, what, 2.1 million people per year coming into this country,

00:12:38.840 Wyatt. I mean, I, like, to me, if you're gonna let people in, like, let them in, right? Let them be

00:12:45.240 part of the community, let them integrate, welcome to Canada, become a Canadian citizen, come all in,

00:12:49.560 learn the English or French, depending on where you're living, but become Canadian. But when you have this 0.82

00:12:53.640 huge, giant class of people that are kind of in limbo, that don't really have a stake in the future,

00:12:58.920 that don't really have any incentive to become Canadian. I mean, this is the problem in my books,

00:13:04.840 and this is what Pierre Polyev needs to focus on, saying we need to, we need to stop this. What do

00:13:10.760 you think? And the justification for this level of immigration is based off of a few lies. With

00:13:16.920 the temporary foreign worker program, it's the idea that Canadians don't want to work these jobs that 0.66

00:13:20.920 these workers are filling. Well, no business would hire these TFW immigrants in order to fill these jobs 1.00

00:13:27.240 either, because they're subsidized workers. If the subsidy was not there, they would probably not

00:13:32.920 be hiring them, which means that businesses are obviously not going to hire a Canadian,

00:13:37.640 because the Canadian doesn't get $3.50 an hour, like, taken off of their wages in terms of, like,

00:13:43.240 what the government's going to comp the business who's paying them. And when it comes to permanent

00:13:48.040 residences, and other immigrants, you have people say, well, we need immigration to be at this 1.00

00:13:54.280 level because, you know, the birth rate isn't very high. And so we need to make sure that we

00:13:58.680 maintain our population so we can pay for our social programs. But you'll have studies come

00:14:02.920 out of the UK showing that if you actually do pursue a policy of mass immigration, you actually

00:14:08.120 push your birth rate down even further, because it turns out people don't really want to build a

00:14:12.520 stable family in a country that doesn't feel stable. And so naturally, everything just keeps getting

00:14:18.040 worse and worse. And so the justification ends up spurring on a new justification. And so you just

00:14:24.360 keep going in circles with bringing in more people that causes your actual natural growth to slip further

00:14:30.120 and further, which means that you need to bring in more people. And by the way, the people you're

00:14:33.640 bringing in are also going to suffer from that same problem, because everything's unaffordable.

00:14:38.600 It's not a very stable community to live in when you often have, like, you know, like a foreign 1.00

00:14:44.280 ethnic conflicts happening in your city streets, you're not exactly going to want to, you know, 0.71

00:14:49.080 set up shop there for your family. Well, no, you have to be fundamentally optimistic for the future

00:14:54.200 to choose to have a family and to have children. And you're right that when people don't, I mean,

00:14:58.840 if people don't feel safe in their community, or frankly, if they don't recognize the community that

00:15:03.320 they live in, like, I talked to so many people to say, I don't feel like I'm living in Canada anymore.

00:15:07.240 This isn't the Canada that I grew up in. It's not, it's not like you're going to run out and say,

00:15:10.920 okay, let's go have a bunch of kids, right? Because you've lost faith in your own country.

00:15:15.720 I want to go back to something you said a little earlier on there, Wyatt, which is that, you know,

00:15:20.680 they tell us that the reason that we need all of these temporary foreign workers is because

00:15:24.840 Canadians are just not willing to do these jobs. It reminded me of a post I saw on social media,

00:15:30.200 posted by Dean Tester, who is a conservative. He put this on X. He said, student unemployment in Ottawa

00:15:35.880 is sitting around 20% with endless stories of young people handing out hundreds of resumes and getting

00:15:40.760 nowhere. And yet, there are hundreds of LMIA, which is labor market opinions, requests for food

00:15:47.640 service, admin assistance, and landscapers. So you can see the math there, folks. Those are all of the

00:15:53.640 people who put in applications, this is greater Ottawa, saying that there are no p so if you want to

00:15:59.720 let in if you want to if your business, and you want to have temporary foreign workers come at your

00:16:04.280 business, you have to put out this one of these labor market opinions. So you have to put out job

00:16:08.360 applications, help wanted signs, and prove that there's no one in your area that are willing to

00:16:13.640 do these jobs. This has become a scam. This has become a total workaround, where they just put

00:16:18.280 one of these things out. It's totally fake. It's not even what it says it's supposed to be. They say,

00:16:22.520 no, no one wants a job. And so then they can turn around and hire a bunch of labor from the third world, 1.00

00:16:27.240 pay them much less, have them work longer hours. And again, the pointing out that there is around 20%

00:16:34.280 student unemployment. So how can you simultaneously tell me that there's hundreds or thousands of

00:16:39.720 young people out there in just this one city looking for jobs, and then at the same time,

00:16:43.640 oh, no one to fill the job. So we have to bring in immigrants to work at the local Tim Hortons. I mean, 1.00

00:16:48.920 it's just this the system is just full of abuse. That's that's the major problem as well.

00:16:53.080 It also turns into effectively indentured servitude, because you when you're in this country, you have to

00:16:58.440 work the job that you came in for. And when you're living, and you cannot afford to lose this job.

00:17:03.640 So you really can't say no to working potentially unpaid overtime, which we get a lot of stories of.

00:17:09.240 And then these same people who are already working long hours at their one job have to then also,

00:17:15.000 you know, drive for Uber in order to pay for a half a basement suite that they live in with three or

00:17:19.880 four other people. Anyone who pretends like they're opposing pure poly of because they're ethical human

00:17:26.440 beings are lying to themselves, because they're supporting a system that is actually abusive,

00:17:31.720 pretending as if they're like standing up for lowly immigrants. They're not. They're standing up for

00:17:36.360 effectively modern day slaves who were lied into taking jobs overseas that are not actually going

00:17:41.960 to do much more than just pay for them to even sustain themselves in Canada. Well, that's 100%.

00:17:47.320 I wanted to just point to this Globe and Mail article from last summer, August 24. Employers still

00:17:51.640 turning to low wage workers, even as unemployment rates rise. This is kind of telling the same story.

00:17:57.160 But there's this interesting graph. And it shows here positions approved in temporary foreign worker

00:18:01.320 program by stream. And so it used to be, Wyatt, that the overwhelming majority of temporary foreign

00:18:06.840 workers that came to Canada worked in fields, they were ag workers, they came in the summer, they picked 1.00

00:18:11.080 blueberries or whatever they did, then they left. Look, I would still argue that you can hire teenagers and

00:18:15.320 college students to do that kind of work. But still, you know, these these companies say, look,

00:18:19.960 we need these temporary foreign workers. And yet, if we can show the graph on the screen,

00:18:24.840 it shows just the rise of low wage workers during this period. So from 2022, you can see

00:18:32.120 that it jumps significantly. So low wage workers used to be 20% of these temporary foreign worker

00:18:37.880 program, and it has jumped up to 80%, almost as much as these ag workers. So the type of workers

00:18:44.360 has totally changed. Now, this is an interesting point, because we heard Mark Kearney on the campaign

00:18:48.520 trail, and even before, basically saying that the liberal immigration system was broken, that they

00:18:53.960 that they broke it. Here's a story from CBC News all the way back in November, Mark Kearney says that

00:18:59.000 Canada is letting down the immigrants that it welcomed. And he basically just said, look, this isn't

00:19:04.760 working, right. And we heard that again and again. And yet, and yet, when he became Prime Minister, he made

00:19:12.680 absolutely no changes. And so here's a new story. Juno News, May 30, 2025. Canada took in 817,000 new

00:19:22.280 immigrants in the first four months of 2025. Look at the headline, unbelievable. Between January and April, 1.00

00:19:29.240 132,000 people were granted permanent residency, well, 194,000 were given student visas, and 490 were

00:19:38.440 given these work permits. So there's no, there's no slowing down, right? And again, you can see that

00:19:45.080 tilt, right? 130 were given permanent residency, and all of the rest all the way up to 817,000. So

00:19:51.240 that's what 690,000 people were let in temporarily, like they're not stopping. What drives me up the wall

00:19:58.440 about that stat too, is people will make excuses by saying, well, 817,000 number, you have a visa renewals,

00:20:06.840 you have student visa and TFW visa renewals. Well, that's effectively a new immigrant, because the 0.97

00:20:11.400 whole idea was that they were going to be here for a few years, then they were going to go home.

00:20:15.800 If they're now here for rather than three years, six years, well, then that's basically a second

00:20:21.320 person entering right after they leave and filling that gap. So people are trying to make excuses and

00:20:26.920 pretend like Carney's doing a better job than Trudeau on immigration right now. Is he going to be better

00:20:31.560 than maybe Trudeau like 2024 2023 Trudeau? Sure, but it's hard, it would probably have been hard for

00:20:37.720 Trudeau to even top himself in the year 2025. We're going down to even what it would be high levels

00:20:45.000 in 2018 and 2019. And again, like you had been pointing out, it was even a little too high under

00:20:51.400 Martin and Harper, it should have probably been even lower back then. Because again, your immigration 1.00

00:20:56.840 should always be purely supplemental to your natural growth as a country. If people's standard

00:21:02.600 of living is slipping at all by bringing in more people, then you can't do it. And what we've seen

00:21:07.800 over the last, I think, nine quarters at this point is that we have per capita incomes falling in Canada

00:21:14.200 because we're not actually adding more productivity with these new immigrants. We're just basically 1.00

00:21:18.680 subsidizing large corporations by giving them cheaper labor. And again, it really demonstrates

00:21:25.560 just the kind of loser mentality that's baked into Canada. These corporations don't push for

00:21:30.040 lowering their extremely high corporate taxes. They just want to maybe try and save a few dollars

00:21:35.320 by bringing in cheaper labor. It's such a like, people just resigned to the idea that we're just

00:21:41.320 always going to have big government. Well, that's exactly right. Because my mind is, if we're having

00:21:46.520 to import people who don't share cultural values, who many of them resort to crime, or at least being 1.00

00:21:51.880 here illegally, like people don't leave when they're supposed to, like, why don't we just work harder

00:21:56.360 to train and motivate the younger generation to do these jobs, right? Put it back in the culture that

00:22:01.400 you get a summer job when you're a teenager? Or hey, how about like getting rid of a whole bunch of

00:22:05.640 social welfare programs that allow healthy, able-bodied young men and women to stay at home and not work?

00:22:11.480 Like, we have it all backwards. And to your point about how many people think that Mark Carney is just

00:22:17.320 automatically better than Justin Trudeau because he's not such a clown. The problem, Wyatt, is that

00:22:22.040 he's surrounding himself with clownish people. And so let me just point to this news story out of

00:22:26.200 Global News, an absolute bombshell. Before joining cabinet, the Public Safety Minister of Canada wrote

00:22:32.440 immigration support letters for terror group members. Terror group members. So yes, our Public Safety

00:22:38.760 Minister, Gary Anasangari, wrote letters urging Canadian officials to approve the immigration applications

00:22:45.400 of a man who was, had been determined by the government to be a member of the terrorist organization.

00:22:51.720 The letter dated 2023 and another one from 2016 were written on Anasangari's House of Commons letterhead

00:22:57.640 and sent to Canadian Border Services on behalf of an alleged member of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers

00:23:03.640 who wanted to move to Canada. So the person who we charge with protecting us, Public Safety Minister,

00:23:10.520 is in charge of the border, in charge of making sure that terrorists don't come into our country,

00:23:15.160 has actually advocated on behalf of terrorists coming into our country. It's like the farce in

00:23:21.480 Canada just never ends. The living satire that we are in, yes, a cabinet minister is the one who wanted

00:23:26.600 terrorists into our country. It's unbelievable. And that specific issue is linked to

00:23:33.080 high immigration. He is obviously trying to pander to a community where defending a member of the

00:23:39.080 Tamil Tigers may get you some more votes. That's exactly what he's doing. There's a reason why we just 1.00

00:23:43.800 had a shooting in Surrey where somebody who is openly part of the banned terrorist organization,

00:23:49.480 Barba Khalsa, celebrated and took credit for a shooting on a cafe that the owner of had basically 1.00

00:23:56.920 made a joke about him or his friends. And politicians were just talking about it like it's a normal

00:24:03.080 gang shooting. Even though there's a guy who openly took credit for it from banned terrorist organization,

00:24:08.200 we don't want to mention who it was because it might tick off certain people.

00:24:12.600 I mean, you're right. It's vote bank politics. It's like they want to get votes from these

00:24:17.000 communities. And so they're willing to do despicable things. They don't put Canadians first. They put

00:24:22.200 themselves and their party and their communities first. And so let me just read a little bit more

00:24:26.360 from this global news story. Although Canadian immigration officials had repeatedly rejected this

00:24:31.640 individual as an immigrant due to what they describe as protracted involvement in the Tigers,

00:24:37.640 the Tamil Tigers, which is a terrorist group in Sri Lanka. Anna Ghassari asked them to reverse their

00:24:42.120 decision. His most recent letter to CBSA, Anna Ghassari said the agency's refusal to grant this

00:24:47.640 individual permanent residency has separated the 48-year-old Sri Lankan from his Canadian wife and

00:24:52.680 child, which the Toronto MP called cruel and inhumane. Okay, just to give you a bit more background

00:24:58.920 about that. The child was conceived in Sri Lanka. The woman had gone to Sri Lanka and then she moved

00:25:04.440 to Canada so that she could have a Canadian child. And now she wants her terrorist husband to come with 0.76

00:25:08.280 her. The answer is, sorry, no, go home. Instead, it's the other way around. And it's cruel and humane

00:25:13.800 not to let the terrorists into the country. And here's what he said. I respectfully asked that you

00:25:18.680 review and reconsider the decision. Anna Ghassari wrote on July 19, 2023. We're not talking about

00:25:24.280 ancient history here. We're talking about two years ago when it was the last few days of his

00:25:29.400 time as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice Attorney General. Where do they find these

00:25:35.240 people and why are they in charge? It is like, it is just so unbelievable. Wyatt, what do you think?

00:25:40.200 That also just reflects a lot of liberal criminal justice policy these days. Like, don't make the

00:25:47.400 person suffer the consequences of their own actions. It's cruel and inhumane that they actually,

00:25:52.120 you know, maybe take some punishment for the things that they do for the associations they have.

00:25:57.480 But yeah, like the thing is that this is, this is rarely picked up by the mainstream media. If it's

00:26:03.320 covered, it's covered for a few seconds. This should be a major scandal again. And this has actually

00:26:08.520 happened multiple times. We even have politicians supposedly on the right, like Patrick Brown, who,

00:26:13.640 when he ran for the leadership in 2022 for the federal party, actually had mentioned that he may take

00:26:20.120 the Tamil Tigers off the terrorism watch list. Just remove them from the blacklist.

00:26:25.560 This is just, and again, you're right about Mark Carney. He is more professional than Justin Trudeau,

00:26:31.080 but I'm not sure if that's exactly a good thing. Because I don't exactly want a more efficient leader

00:26:36.600 of the current circus that is the liberal cabinet, because they're just going to do bad things faster.

00:26:41.960 Yeah, more stealth and they'll do it behind your back. And isn't this just like an open message to

00:26:46.920 all the terrorists around the world? Like all you have to do is just like get your, get your girl

00:26:50.840 from pregnant, put her on a plane, send her to Canada, have the baby in Canada, and the minister 0.96

00:26:56.200 will be writing letters on your behalf, pleading to the government to let you into the country,

00:27:00.280 because it's inhumane to have your child separated from you. Like it, this is just an absolute

00:27:06.280 ridiculous. This is in a nutshell. Is everything wrong with liberal government and our immigration 1.00

00:27:12.120 system? Well, Wyatt, thank you so much for joining the show. It's always a pleasure to have you on.

00:27:15.800 I'm really looking forward to your show on Juno News. Thank you, Candace. All right, folks,

00:27:20.440 that's all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Candace Malcolm. This is

00:27:23.560 Candace Malcolm's show. We'll be back again tomorrow. Thank you and God bless.
