Juno News - The Candice Malcolm Show： The CBC warns against visiting the United States of Trump

00:00:00.000 Canada is secretly letting war criminals into our country. 0.95

00:00:02.940 Our revolving door prison system lets a woman out despite being convicted of a grisly, gruesome honor killing. 1.00

00:00:09.140 And the CBC warns against visiting the United States of Trump.

00:00:13.200 Plus, it's Thursday, so we'll do fake news and slow claps.

00:00:16.340 I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:23.500 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:00:25.820 Things are going to change a little bit over the holiday.

00:00:27.480 We're going to go down to one podcast per week, and we don't have an Ask Me Anything this week.

00:00:31.940 We're going to do that next week in an extended version.

00:00:34.940 So if you're interested in getting a question into that, don't forget to sign up for one of our clubs

00:00:39.040 and then send a question over, and I will answer it on this podcast.

00:00:42.960 Now let's jump into the news.

00:00:44.780 So this was a story over at Global.

00:00:47.780 Global does a really good job of digging into these sort of immigration fraud, terrorism, and these kind of stories.

00:00:55.300 And we had one that came out this week.

00:00:58.380 Canada has a secret program that grants visas to war criminals, terrorists, and security threats.

00:01:04.680 This is a really remarkable story, very, very worrisome.

00:01:08.460 So the story is about an individual from Egypt who was a high-ranking member of Egypt's military

00:01:13.800 when orchestrated a coup back in 2013.

00:01:16.520 So because of his role in that, the Canadian government saw him as being inadmissible.

00:01:22.260 But when him and his wife applied to visit family members that lived in the Toronto area,

00:01:28.020 they were given visas.

00:01:29.540 Despite the fact that they were inadmissible based on Canada's rules around who can enter our country,

00:01:36.020 they were given permission.

00:01:37.500 And as we learned through this investigative piece over at Global,

00:01:42.160 the reason is because somebody from the Department of National Defense, DND,

00:01:48.280 wrote a letter to the Immigration Department saying that this individual and his wife

00:01:52.820 should be given visas to avoid upsetting Canada's relationship with Egypt's military.

00:01:59.400 This type of national interest letter apparently can be issued by any federal department

00:02:03.520 or the head of a Canadian mission abroad, according to an unpublished government operational bulletin

00:02:09.800 on this person's court case.

00:02:12.340 And so the reason that we found out about this is because that individual who was part of the

00:02:15.800 Egyptian military, when he was in Canada, him and his wife decided to make an asylum claim.

00:02:21.420 So like so many people around the world, they came to Canada under false pretenses, 1.00

00:02:25.660 pretending to be visitors.

00:02:27.140 And then once they were here, they decided that they didn't want to leave.

00:02:29.980 So they submitted an asylum claim.

00:02:31.820 And it was at that point that the government had to admit that,

00:02:35.120 hey, these people are actually completely inadmissible.

00:02:37.640 They shouldn't be in the country in the first place. 0.99

00:02:40.280 And they got rejected.

00:02:42.040 Well, the individual sort of rightly said, well, wait a minute.

00:02:45.600 How come I was able to visit Canada, but I'm not allowed to live in Canada?

00:02:49.280 Why is there this distinction?

00:02:51.300 And the Canadian government didn't really have a good explanation,

00:02:53.800 other than the fact that they just said that he was allowed to visit,

00:02:58.120 but he was not allowed to stay.

00:02:59.900 And so Global did a bit more digging.

00:03:03.120 And according to an annual report,

00:03:04.580 submitted to Parliament by the Immigration Department,

00:03:07.040 shows that there were 3,000 of these visas that were issued between 2010 and 2017.

00:03:13.860 So again, anyone in the government can write a letter on behalf of someone,

00:03:17.580 even if they're a war criminal, even if they're a terrorist,

00:03:19.900 even if they're someone who is a threat to Canada's national security,

00:03:23.240 saying, hey, you know, it would be in Canada's interest to not ban this person,

00:03:28.600 to let them come into Canada.

00:03:30.280 It's supposed to be for high-profile people, but it is also given to other individuals.

00:03:35.040 So talking about double standards,

00:03:37.040 this is just totally shining some light on how reckless our government can be

00:03:42.960 when it comes to who is and who isn't allowed in our country.

00:03:45.680 Canada actually has some pretty strong and strict rules

00:03:49.220 when it comes to preventing these kind of dangerous people from entering our country,

00:03:53.400 and yet there are all kinds of exceptions, exemptions,

00:03:57.040 and, you know, again, double standards that allow individuals to come in.

00:04:01.440 So good reporting over at Global.

00:04:04.240 The government needs to address this issue.

00:04:06.740 This is just one of so many different examples of how individuals are able to get into Canada,

00:04:12.640 how they're able to get past our immigration system, 0.94

00:04:15.900 and, again, people who ultimately pose a threat to our national security

00:04:20.360 are coming into the country all the time, and here is an example.

00:04:24.480 Moving on, this is just a really, really disturbing case.

00:04:27.300 This is over at the CBC.

00:04:29.520 Mother convicted in Shafia daughter's canal killings,

00:04:32.820 granted a five-hour escorted absence from prison.

00:04:36.440 The Shafia murder case was a very high-profile case that took place back in 2009, a decade ago.

00:04:43.640 Now in Kingston, Ontario, so this was an immigrant family that came from Afghanistan.

00:04:48.700 We learned so much about this family through the trial.

00:04:51.940 Basically, it was a polygamous family, so there was a husband and wife from Afghanistan.

00:04:55.880 The first wife apparently was unable to have children, so as is common in their culture,

00:05:02.240 the husband took on a second wife with permission of his first wife, 0.63

00:05:05.260 and the second wife was the one who had the children. 0.99

00:05:08.900 And then they all moved to Canada, and apparently their three daughters were becoming too Canadian.

00:05:14.320 They were becoming too Western, and the father didn't like that.

00:05:17.580 And so the second wife and one of the sons were all convicted in the murder of the first wife and the three daughters.

00:05:24.540 Just a really horrifying case, incredibly sad.

00:05:28.360 This is unfortunately common in some parts of the world.

00:05:30.660 They call them honor killings, because supposedly the women who get killed have hurt or harmed the honor of the family.

00:05:37.860 And so we learned that this mother, who was convicted of killing her own three daughters and her husband's first wife,

00:05:45.860 is allowed to leave prison.

00:05:48.440 So this is from the CBC story.

00:05:50.600 The Pearl Board of Canada granted this woman who was convicted of these murders

00:05:54.900 the ability to leave prison for a five-hour escorted leave.

00:05:59.800 Apparently she wants to visit the gravesite of her mother, who has passed away.

00:06:04.540 But again, the idea that someone could just be let out of prison so soon after these horrific, horrific cases.

00:06:11.340 And I just want to make one other point.

00:06:12.680 If you recall, during the 2015 election campaign, the Conservatives kind of made a botched policy announcement.

00:06:19.460 They wanted to introduce a hotline for barbaric cultural practices,

00:06:23.340 and they kind of rightly got skewered in the media over it,

00:06:26.560 and people thought it was horrible, and that it was dog whistle politics,

00:06:29.400 and it was racist and xenophobic, and all that kind of stuff.

00:06:31.580 I agree that the optics of the announcement were bad, and the name of the hotline was bad,

00:06:36.580 but the idea behind it was actually kind of noble, and I support this kind of thing.

00:06:40.880 The idea is that if someone is in danger, or someone who feels that their life might be at risk,

00:06:45.820 or that they're in an abusive situation, whether it be with their parents or a spouse,

00:06:50.200 they need some kind of an outlet.

00:06:51.760 They need someone that they can reach and discuss. 0.60

00:06:54.300 So in the Shafia case, the daughters knew that their parents, their father, was, you know, abusive and crazy, 0.93

00:07:01.440 and they feared for their life.

00:07:02.700 They went to the principal of their school.

00:07:04.320 They went to police.

00:07:05.340 They had multiple times reached out to the establishment for help,

00:07:10.800 and nobody was able to help them because they were so kind of concerned and confused about the cultural barriers

00:07:16.860 that these girls didn't actually have an outlet, and because of it, unfortunately, they, you know, were killed by their family. 0.87

00:07:23.680 If there was some kind of an outlet where they could reach someone who understood their community,

00:07:27.740 somebody who had been maybe in a similar situation and gotten out of it,

00:07:31.400 perhaps it could be saved, and maybe other girls who are in the situation in Canada could have that outlet. 0.98

00:07:36.580 So the idea that there could be some kind of an outreach center geared specifically towards people who come from different cultures,

00:07:42.440 who are trapped in a bad situation in their family, is a good idea.

00:07:47.180 Just because the Conservatives kind of made a mistake in announcing it and doing it in the middle of a campaign,

00:07:52.180 which was ill-advised, that doesn't mean that the idea is bad,

00:07:55.220 and this is the kind of thing that Canada has to deal with.

00:07:57.540 When we're letting in people from other civilizations, other societies, 1.00

00:08:00.840 people who have other ways of life that are totally at odds with our free society in Canada,

00:08:06.800 we have to be able to stand up against that, stand up against those horrific traditions

00:08:11.120 and say there's no room for this in Canada, not just to protect our civilization and our society,

00:08:16.760 but also to protect the rights and freedoms of those girls and those women who are in Canada

00:08:21.760 and who are trapped in those kind of situations.

00:08:24.860 Okay, this is going to be kind of a combined fake news story here.

00:08:28.700 I know it's an opinion piece, but there is an opinion piece over in the CBC titled,

00:08:34.940 Canadians traveling to or through the United States should pay close attention to their withering rights. 1.00

00:08:42.000 So here we have an opinion column from a PhD student over at Rutgers University,

00:08:48.520 and she's going on and on and on about how the United States is a racist and bigoted country. 0.53

00:08:54.800 She says, 0.66

00:08:56.040 In the political climate of President Donald Trump's Muslim ban and Facebook groups comprising bigoted custom agents,

00:09:03.560 Canadians traveling to or through the United States need to pay close attention to their withering rights. 1.00

00:09:08.540 While far less violent than the horrors at the southern border of the United States,

00:09:12.560 problems arising across the northern U.S. line are alarming.

00:09:15.760 Incidents of racial profiling against travelers of color have risen significantly.

00:09:20.580 And the number of people turned back by U.S. border guards has seen an increase in recent years.

00:09:25.380 Well, this is just a reminder that you don't have the right to travel to another country.

00:09:30.060 Countries have the right to protect their borders, defend their borders, and not let in people who they don't want to. 1.00

00:09:34.660 I think Canada should do a much better job of making sure that individuals who are inadmissible aren't actually allowed to come in.

00:09:40.900 People who don't have visas or who are crossing our border in between points of entry illegally, they should be stopped. 0.99

00:09:48.560 And this whole article, which is an opinion piece, but it's got, you know,

00:09:52.060 really a lot of sort of hyperbolic over-the-top language in it.

00:09:55.820 It kind of forgets the entire fact that just because you're a Canadian doesn't mean that you have the right to go to the United States.

00:10:01.620 You still have to follow their protocols.

00:10:03.240 You still have to be admissible.

00:10:05.500 You can't break the rules.

00:10:06.600 You can't just show up and demand your way in.

00:10:09.100 You have to be respectful and follow their rules and be able to get in.

00:10:12.380 So this is just a whole bunch of sort of scare tactics in the typical CBC manner,

00:10:18.320 trying to make it seem like the United States has suddenly become, you know, a despotic, tyrannical regime

00:10:25.220 just because they don't like the Republican president.

00:10:28.860 I think it's nonsense.

00:10:30.340 And again, it's just over-the-top sort of fear-mongering.

00:10:33.340 All right, let's do a couple of slow claps right now. 1.00

00:10:36.480 First of all, the first honor goes back to the CBC.

00:10:39.920 This individual is a reporter over at CBC Vancouver, and she is also a CBC reconcile this columnist,

00:10:49.820 whatever that means.

00:10:51.120 She writes, as a white Caucasian settler, how often do you make space for indigenous and

00:10:57.660 people of color in your organization to have a voice, to have a say in decisions, to play

00:11:03.000 key roles so that space is not entirely white Caucasian settler focused and centered and

00:11:09.820 not tokenism?

00:11:11.400 Okay, so if you can unwrap all of that sort of loaded language and basic race baiting here,

00:11:18.000 what this individual is basically saying is that if you're white, you need to step aside,

00:11:23.560 step down, shut up, and allow other people to have your space and have a role and to basically 0.97

00:11:30.900 be promoted. 0.99

00:11:31.720 This is racism.

00:11:34.260 There's no other way to describe this.

00:11:36.320 And again, loaded terms, really trying to divide people.

00:11:40.140 The state broadcaster should serve a function probably of trying to unite Canadians.

00:11:45.220 You know, that's what we have in common.

00:11:47.140 If we just separate ourselves into race groups and pit everyone against each other, it's not

00:11:51.760 going to be long before we're just unable to live together in a society.

00:11:54.800 And so instead of singling out people based on race and demanding that other people also

00:12:00.720 get singled out based on race, but they get promoted, it's just incredibly divisive.

00:12:04.920 It's very bad for our society.

00:12:07.100 And again, it's kind of almost a little ironic that she's sort of looking down her nose at

00:12:11.960 people that she calls settlers.

00:12:13.600 But then if you're a person of color, somehow you're not a settler.

00:12:17.640 So you're only a settler if you're white. 0.77

00:12:19.880 But presumably people of color have also come from other countries to Canada.

00:12:25.000 So how come they're not settlers too?

00:12:27.700 I don't really understand the logic there.

00:12:30.380 But, you know, it's just ideologically driven leftism, identity politics at its worst.

00:12:36.080 And that's what we've come to expect from the CBC.

00:12:38.860 Okay, one more slow clap just because this is so hilarious.

00:12:41.960 I mentioned this on my podcast last time, but I had to mention it again because it is

00:12:44.880 hilarious.

00:12:45.260 Greta Thunberg was traveling home and she took the train.

00:12:50.160 And because she's a spoiled brat and incredibly entitled and has absolutely no gratitude, 1.00

00:12:55.400 she tweeted this out, traveling on an overcrowded train through Germany.

00:12:59.560 And I'm finally on my way home.

00:13:01.180 She's got tons of luggage.

00:13:02.340 She looks kind of comfortable there, but she's sitting on the floor.

00:13:05.140 And she's kind of making it seem like she's hard done by. 0.85

00:13:07.780 Well, the train that she was traveling on, the Deutsche Bahn AG, the German train, tweeted

00:13:13.140 back, it would have been nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competent you were

00:13:17.880 looked after by her team at your seat in first class.

00:13:21.820 Okay, so Greta had a nice cushy seat in first class. 1.00

00:13:25.060 She had train officials looking over her and making sure she was okay.

00:13:29.420 And Greta instead decided to complain and talk about how the trains were overcrowded. 1.00

00:13:34.540 Well, if Greta had her way, we would all be on overcrowded trains. 0.58

00:13:38.080 There'd be no private cars and no airplanes, so the trains would be a lot more crowded.

00:13:42.700 This is a sneak peek into the minds of the fringe far-left environmentalists.

00:13:48.020 They complain about everything, and Greta has absolutely no gratitude for those who came 0.53

00:13:52.700 before her.

00:13:53.840 All right, I'm going to leave it at that.

00:13:55.340 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:13:56.840 Again, if you want to get a question in the Ask Me Anything for next week, don't forget

00:14:00.140 to sign up for one of our clubs over at TNC.news.

00:14:03.880 Thank you.

00:14:08.080 Thank you.
