Canada is secretly letting war criminals into our country.
00:00:02.940
Our revolving door prison system lets a woman out despite being convicted of a grisly, gruesome honor killing.
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.
00:00:25.820
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.
00:00:47.780
Global does a really good job of digging into these sort of immigration fraud, terrorism, and these kind of stories.
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
00:01:16.520
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,
00:01:29.540
Despite the fact that they were inadmissible based on Canada's rules around who can enter our country,
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or the head of a Canadian mission abroad, according to an unpublished government operational bulletin
00:02:12.340
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,
00:02:27.140
And then once they were here, they decided that they didn't want to leave.
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.
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?
00:02:51.300
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,
00:03:04.580
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,
00:03:30.280
It's supposed to be for high-profile people, but it is also given to other individuals.
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.
00:04:06.740
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,
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.
00:04:29.520
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,
00:05:05.260
and the second wife was the one who had the children.
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.
00:05:28.360
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,
00:05:50.600
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.
00:06:12.680
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,
00:06:51.760
They need someone that they can reach and discuss.
00:06:54.300
So in the Shafia case, the daughters knew that their parents, their father, was, you know, abusive and crazy,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
00:10:09.100
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.
00:10:30.340
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.
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,
00:10:51.120
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
00:11:11.400
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
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.
00:11:47.140
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.
00:12:07.100
And again, it's kind of almost a little ironic that she's sort of looking down her nose at
00:12:13.600
But then if you're a person of color, somehow you're not a settler.
00:12:19.880
But presumably people of color have also come from other countries to Canada.
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
00:12:45.260
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,
00:12:55.400
she tweeted this out, traveling on an overcrowded train through Germany.
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.
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.
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.
00:13:34.540
Well, if Greta had her way, we would all be on overcrowded trains.
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
00:13:56.840
Again, if you want to get a question in the Ask Me Anything for next week, don't forget
