Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is spotted in Costa Rica and he is not looking his best.
00:00:04.920
Hockey Night in Canada ratings plummet after Don Cherry gets fired.
00:00:08.640
The Liberals work to rework the parents' and grandparents' reunification program.
00:00:13.800
And more Albertans now want to leave Canada than Quebecers.
00:00:18.060
I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:27.840
Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful celebration and that you've had a great and relaxing week or so since Christmas.
00:00:36.100
Enjoying time with your family. Wishing you nothing but prosperity and happiness in the new year and for the new decade ahead.
00:00:44.260
It's an exciting time for us at True North. We have a lot of new programs in the works.
00:00:51.100
So thank you so much to everyone who chipped in a few dollars.
00:00:54.260
It really, really helps us. We're launching new podcasts in this January.
00:01:03.680
We've got a bunch of exciting new things that we will be rolling out.
00:01:06.720
So thank you to everyone who chipped in on that.
00:01:10.040
I am recording this podcast myself from an airport.
00:01:13.300
So if you hear any announcements in the background, apologies.
00:01:16.240
But that's the way it goes. My family and I are just heading back to Toronto after a relaxing holiday down in California.
00:01:26.000
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it appears, was spotted at what looks like a grocery store picking up a bunch of, well, we don't really know.
00:01:33.740
He's carrying a brown paper bag with presumably some bottles in it.
00:01:37.720
And let me just say, he doesn't look very good.
00:01:40.100
He doesn't look very healthy. He doesn't look very well rested.
00:01:42.680
He looks a little annoyed or, I don't know, angry, depressed, something like that.
00:01:48.380
But this picture was snapped and shared on social media and appears to be the Prime Minister in Costa Rica.
00:01:54.080
You can't confirm it 100%, but it looks a lot like Justin Trudeau.
00:02:00.240
A lot of Canadians are kind of confused as to why the Prime Minister of Canada is taking a two-week trip to Costa Rica after being re-elected.
00:02:09.480
You know, he can't, apparently he can't go on vacation in Canada.
00:02:13.780
He wants to get far away from the media spotlight.
00:02:16.720
But, you know, in the age of social media, you really can't escape it.
00:02:21.020
That's what he's looking like when he is not leading the Canadian government and leading the country.
00:02:27.400
So our very disheveled-looking Prime Minister, I guess he can't go back to the Aga Khan's private island anymore.
00:02:32.400
So Costa Rica it is, and Trudeau is not looking his best.
00:02:36.080
Hopefully he gets some rest before he comes back and tries to lead the Canadian government
00:02:42.040
in what hasn't really been a very good economic time for Canada.
00:02:45.960
You know, we're watching down in the U.S. where they've had sort of record growth and stock markets doing well,
00:02:50.880
jobs are doing well in Canada, the economy shed 70,000 jobs in November, GDP declined.
00:02:57.880
So it's not looking good, especially when you consider that the Justin Trudeau government
00:03:01.720
is just, you know, spending left, right and centre.
00:03:04.660
They increased the deficit size to over $26 billion.
00:03:08.180
And, you know, this is supposed to be in good times.
00:03:09.880
This is a time where the economy is doing pretty good.
00:03:12.220
You should be putting money aside to pay off the debt,
00:03:14.560
to pull down the deficit and get yourself in a stable financial situation should a recession come,
00:03:21.200
Trudeau is taking the exact opposite approach, leveraging Canada left, right and centre.
00:03:25.660
You know, we've got federal debt, but not just that.
00:03:27.580
All the provinces, provincial debt is also very large, very leveraged as a country,
00:03:33.480
not very well managed, especially considering the future generations of Canadians
00:03:40.120
I want to talk quickly about something that the Liberals are doing that's actually kind of good.
00:03:44.560
They are reworking Canada's parent and grandparent immigration program,
00:03:50.760
This is always sort of a thorn in the side of governments
00:03:53.700
just because so many people from around the world want to sponsor
00:03:56.740
their elderly parents and grandparents to come to Canada
00:03:59.340
to get the sort of gold-plated government welfare, health care,
00:04:03.360
all that kind of stuff that Canadians pay into their whole lives.
00:04:08.360
I don't understand why Canada has a program where we accept immigrants who are elderly,
00:04:12.800
who are already retired to come in as citizens.
00:04:17.480
They can join their families, help with child care and all that kind of stuff.
00:04:21.320
But why they become full-pledged citizens, you know,
00:04:24.860
capable of collecting all the same benefits as people who have worked
00:04:28.720
and paid taxes their entire life doesn't make any sense.
00:04:31.940
So it's kind of a good news story that the Liberals are postponing this program.
00:04:35.860
They issued a statement saying to ensure the Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada
00:04:40.420
has sufficient time to complete the development of a new intake process
00:04:47.400
The reopening of this program will be postponed until instructions are released.
00:04:53.560
20,000 people a year get brought in through this program.
00:04:57.280
And again, Canada has something called the Super Visa.
00:04:59.820
So if you want to have your parents and grandparents come and visit you,
00:05:02.900
they can come for up to 10 years, two years at a time.
00:05:07.160
And the biggest stipulation is that you have to have private insurance.
00:05:09.900
So basically you have to pay for your own health care should you need it.
00:05:13.600
And, you know, that's pretty much in line with every other Western liberal democracy.
00:05:20.540
elderly people can actually come as immigrants and get full citizen
00:05:24.940
after living most of their, you know, life and adult life in another country.
00:05:31.300
We're not exactly sure what the new rework program is going to look like,
00:05:35.560
but we're going to keep an eye on that for you.
00:05:38.540
So keep tuned in to TNC.news for that as soon as information is released.
00:05:44.440
I wanted to also note that Hockey Night in Canada ratings are down
00:05:54.960
who's taken over as sort of the main host of the show,
00:05:57.080
just going full on social justice warrior complaining about supposed structural racism
00:06:03.220
in his own show, talking about his own white privilege,
00:06:06.740
just all the most cringeworthy buzzwords of the far left
00:06:09.600
has now been infused in every aspect of our lives and our society.
00:06:13.340
Again, the last thing you want to hear when you're trying to relax
00:06:16.900
and watch a hockey game is some uptight leftist lecturing you
00:06:21.560
about how supposedly racist your entire country is.
00:06:24.300
It's total nonsense. Social justice nonsense has nothing,
00:06:29.920
Nobody wants to listen to woke, politically correct dogma
00:06:35.280
and doctrines when you're trying to relax and watch hockey.
00:06:38.460
So Hockey Night in Canada has consistently been a top 30 program.
00:06:42.340
But after Sports Night fired Don Cherry, the numbers dropped.
00:06:46.520
So the most recent numbers reported found that Hockey Night in Canada
00:06:52.720
which was a decline by nearly 18% from the same week in 2018.
00:07:02.320
And, you know, that's just what's going to happen
00:07:05.780
when you get rid of someone who's kind of interesting
00:07:18.780
They like to sit and listen to what he has to say.
00:07:20.900
And the fact that he's not on the show anymore,
00:07:22.640
you know, people are going to choose to do something else with their time
00:07:28.400
So, you know, for all the talk of the left to claim that,
00:07:34.080
Well, you know, Canadians are united around the fact that they like to watch hockey.
00:07:37.460
And thanks to the left and their political correctness,
00:07:40.200
less Canadians are united in watching hockey together.
00:07:43.200
A final story I want to talk about is this new study
00:07:49.400
believe their province would be better off independent.
00:07:55.560
So the separatist movement is now bigger in Western Canada
00:08:01.580
You know, for all the years of complaints that we've heard from Quebec
00:08:09.960
You know, you'd really think that the separatist movement
00:08:15.020
But, you know, when you have a prime minister like Justin Trudeau,
00:08:17.900
when you have policies like the liberal policies
00:08:19.800
that are really just tearing the country apart,
00:08:21.580
they're designed to punish and put back working people in Alberta
00:08:26.000
based on ideology, based on unproven theoretical problems
00:08:32.900
Really, they believe that they can change the globe's temperature
00:08:43.300
It's driven by ideology that they want to punish people
00:08:52.800
believe their province would be better off independent.
00:09:04.880
My colleague and I, we were out in Calgary in early December
00:09:08.520
filming for a documentary that's still in the works.
00:09:13.220
and that's going to be released sometime soon in the coming weeks.
00:09:30.540
All right, this one comes courtesy of the Post Millennial,
00:09:35.240
and Graham Gordon, who's an investigative reporter over there,
00:09:38.240
used to do some investigative reporting for us at tnc.news,
00:09:50.640
So two weeks ago, the CBC's national aired a report
00:09:54.900
where the shelter system is currently overwhelmed
00:10:00.000
with many being turned away due to lack of beds
00:10:03.380
But the CBC story failed to include any mention
00:10:08.580
who have illegally entered Canada from the U.S.
00:10:11.360
and sought shelter in Toronto over the past few years,
00:10:14.540
which is a major factor in the system being overloaded.
00:10:19.720
because when he was doing investigative reporting
00:10:21.680
for us at TNC, one of the things that he was doing
00:10:27.200
that the city of Toronto have basically commandeered
00:10:33.220
or asylum seeker housing for potential refugees.
00:10:38.480
and most of them are people who are trying to be refugees,
00:10:44.000
They've totally overwhelmed the shelter system in Toronto,
00:10:46.740
and Graham Gordon reported that for us at True North.
00:10:54.940
It was one of the most popular stories on the CBC website,
00:10:57.520
and yet it didn't include anything about asylum seekers.
00:11:02.000
So why wouldn't the CBC just state the obvious?
00:11:05.480
You know, the fact that there's thousands of people
00:11:18.060
but Toronto really started picking up the slack,
00:11:29.240
but then when school started again in September,
00:11:33.500
and started putting them into the homeless shelters.
00:11:37.300
And so you really have to ask yourself and wonder,
00:11:44.260
and try to tell the story of homelessness in Toronto
00:11:50.120
That's what's going on with the Trudeau government
00:11:56.560
Journalists have their hands in the government pot,
00:11:58.400
and therefore they have to toe the government line.
00:12:11.460
who work to help the neediest people in the city
00:12:22.020
many of them are just sort of stumbled upon hard luck,
00:13:11.940
So it's basically like an all-inclusive resort,
