00:00:00.000 The United Nations says it's racist to support the energy industry in Canada.
00:00:03.960 The Ontario NDP celebrate a terrorist.
00:00:07.120 63 Canadians are killed in a plane crash in Iran.
00:00:10.400 And the media swoon over Justin Trudeau's beard,
00:00:13.840 because I guess there's nothing else happening in the world.
00:00:16.160 Plus, it's Thursday, so we'll do fake news of the week
00:00:18.640 and a little pick-me-up story, because we really need one right now.
00:00:21.520 I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:24.240 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:31.120 We have a lot to get to today, so let's get right to it.
00:00:34.400 The United Nations put out a committee panel,
00:00:37.840 saying basically that Canada shouldn't be developing its own natural resources
00:00:41.840 and shouldn't be building pipelines because, get this, it is racist.
00:00:46.000 So this is over at tnc.news.
00:00:48.320 The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
00:00:52.880 directed Canada to stop constructing three energy resource projects,
00:00:57.280 including the Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline.
00:01:00.080 18 members of the committee claimed that Canada did not get the proper consent
00:01:04.320 from Indigenous groups to construct the pipeline,
00:01:06.880 as well as the Site C dam and the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline.
00:01:11.360 This is all because they say that First Nation groups in Canada were not properly consulted.
00:01:16.560 Well, that couldn't be further from the truth.
00:01:18.240 Over 100 First Nation groups were involved with talks with the federal government
00:01:22.560 to secure the ownership of the TMX pipeline.
00:01:26.240 And let's just be frank, the natural resource industry in Canada is the largest employer
00:01:32.000 of Aboriginal and First Nations youth.
00:01:34.640 In so many of the small towns in northern parts of the country,
00:01:38.640 individuals wouldn't even have the prospect of a job if it wasn't for the natural resources.
00:01:43.360 So the fact that the United Nations is butting its head into Canada,
00:01:46.720 saying that it's supposedly racist, I guess they fixed all the other problems in the world.
00:01:51.120 All the other issues, all the other problems in the entire world must have been fixed.
00:01:55.280 Racism must not exist anymore if the United Nations is now focusing its attention on stopping pipelines
00:02:02.000 because of supposed racism.
00:02:03.280 I guess there's no more racism in the world.
00:02:06.320 The United Nations is just wasting everyone's time and money with these kind of declarations.
00:02:11.840 All right, let's move on.
00:02:12.800 This is from Brian Lilly over at the Toronto Sun.
00:02:16.160 So as I've talked about on this show, as we've been reporting, there was a vigil held
00:02:20.960 for the killed Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani in Toronto over the weekend outside the US consulate.
00:02:27.600 There were a lot of sort of regime loyalists who happened to be in Canada,
00:02:32.240 basically fighting in support of the regime.
00:02:34.400 There were also a lot of other just general anti-American groups,
00:02:38.160 other groups that don't want America to be involved in the Middle East.
00:02:42.320 And then, you know, there was a typical kind of anti-war protesters and gatherers.
00:02:47.440 It's one thing to be opposed to war and it's one thing to be anti-war,
00:02:51.600 which a lot of people on the left like the NDP are.
00:02:54.240 This is different.
00:02:54.960 Brian Lilly reports.
00:02:56.560 He says that two NDP MPPs in Ontario were at this rally showing solidarity for a terrorist
00:03:04.640 and that he was being mourned and honored.
00:03:06.880 So these NDP officials, elected officials were at this rally where people were holding
00:03:12.240 up placards, holding up posters, celebrating terrorism and terrorist groups in the Middle
00:03:17.360 East and in Iran.
00:03:18.640 Shame on them.
00:03:19.280 The NDP has absolutely no sense.
00:03:21.520 You know, they're anti-war now that the Americans have gotten involved.
00:03:24.720 But where were they?
00:03:25.920 Where were they just a month ago when the Iranian regime was cracking down
00:03:30.160 and they murdered more than 1500 young Iranians who were protesting in the streets,
00:03:34.480 peacefully protesting?
00:03:35.680 Why weren't they anti-terrorism and anti-war then?
00:03:38.240 They're only anti-war when the Americans are involved.
00:03:40.480 Frankly, it's because they're anti-American.
00:03:42.720 But this is so problematic that their worldview has placed them where they're actually in alignment
00:03:48.400 and in an agreement with terrorist forces.
00:03:51.440 This is repulsive and they should be kicked out of the NDP caucus as far as I'm concerned.
00:03:56.400 They have a lot to explain to their constituents why they were at a rally supporting a terrorist,
00:04:01.920 supporting a person who has waged war across the Middle East.
00:04:05.280 Like I said on the last show, responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
00:04:09.600 He was one of the primary drivers of the war in Syria, the civil war in Syria,
00:04:13.680 the ongoing civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention militias
00:04:18.560 and terrorist groups destabilizing Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Israel, you name it.
00:04:24.640 Soleimani had his dirty fingerprints all over terrorism throughout the region.
00:04:28.720 And again, just shame on the NDP.
00:04:30.960 Andrew Horvath, NDP leader in Ontario, should kick these members out of her caucus
00:04:35.600 and take a stand against terrorism in Canada.
00:04:39.600 And another sad news, sad news coming out of Iran.
00:04:43.520 A commercial airplane had crashed.
00:04:46.080 The plane was going from Tehran to Ukraine.
00:04:49.920 Many of the passengers on board were en route to Canada.
00:04:52.960 So 63 Canadian citizens were on board and they were killed.
00:04:57.360 You just never want to see news like this.
00:04:58.960 It's just awful.
00:05:00.240 So this is what we know so far about the crash of Ukraine International Airlines flight 752.
00:05:06.960 All 176 people on board the flight are dead, including 63 Canadians.
00:05:11.680 And Iran being Iran, they're refusing to hand over the black box from the recovered wreckage
00:05:16.560 to help try to understand what had gone on.
00:05:19.200 So it was a Boeing 737-800, which is part of the same aircraft family as the 737 MAX plane
00:05:26.000 that has been grounded worldwide since March after two other plane crashes.
00:05:30.000 And Canadian officials have issued their condolences and messages of support.
00:05:35.040 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted the following.
00:05:37.360 Heartbreaking news from Tehran this morning.
00:05:39.840 176 people, including 63 Canadians, have lost their lives in a tragic plane crash.
00:05:44.880 My thoughts are with those who are mourning the loss of family members, friends and loved ones.
00:05:48.960 So just really, really sad news.
00:05:50.960 My heart goes out to the families of those who were involved in the crash,
00:05:55.440 those who lost their lives and anyone affected by this.
00:05:57.840 You just really hate to see this kind of stuff.
00:06:00.080 There's so much bad news happening in the world right now.
00:06:02.880 But don't worry, almost in unison, the Canadian media, the mainstream media,
00:06:07.120 they all put out news stories about, you guessed it, Justin Trudeau's facial hair, his beard.
00:06:12.880 It became a trending item on social media, on Twitter.
00:06:16.240 And it's really remarkable.
00:06:17.360 It was like one story after another, after another of the mainstream media
00:06:21.440 writing serious news stories about the Prime Minister's beard.
00:06:25.680 The CBC has an article.
00:06:27.760 Hair apparent.
00:06:28.800 How Justin Trudeau's beard makes him look more like a dad.
00:06:32.560 Okay.
00:06:33.360 Huffington Post.
00:06:34.320 Justin Trudeau's beard is here and we need to talk about it.
00:06:37.760 Vice.
00:06:38.640 Justin Trudeau has a beard now.
00:06:40.240 What does it mean?
00:06:41.600 This is the worst one.
00:06:43.040 Statesman daddy or dad, Justin Trudeau's new beard ignites social media.
00:06:48.400 Okay.
00:06:48.800 Just a pro tip to all the fellow journalists and reporters out there.
00:06:52.240 Just because someone on social media calls Justin Trudeau daddy doesn't mean that you
00:06:57.040 have to actually report on it and you don't have to include it in the headline.
00:07:00.480 This is just so disturbing.
00:07:01.920 So creepy.
00:07:02.560 You know, I've said this on Twitter, but I'll say it again.
00:07:04.480 When Milo Yiannopoulos started calling Donald Trump daddy, it was creepy.
00:07:08.800 It was weird and it was creepy.
00:07:10.720 And so the mainstream media shouldn't follow Milo down that creepy path by starting to call
00:07:15.600 Justin Trudeau daddy.
00:07:16.560 Just stop.
00:07:17.440 Just stop.
00:07:18.080 It is creepy and nobody wants to hear it.
00:07:21.200 Okay.
00:07:21.600 It's Thursday.
00:07:22.400 So I'm going to do fake news of the week.
00:07:24.000 I mean, all those headlines I just read could have easily been the fake news story of the
00:07:28.160 week for all the things that are happening in the world.
00:07:30.320 You know, we're on the brink of war.
00:07:32.400 Canadian troops may be being put in harm's way.
00:07:34.880 The country is still divided.
00:07:36.160 The economy is not doing very well.
00:07:38.000 There are so many things that media could talk about.
00:07:40.480 There's a conservative leadership race in the mix.
00:07:43.040 Instead of reporting on all those things, they report on Justin Trudeau's beard because
00:07:46.240 they're all stupid.
00:07:47.600 But I've got another fake news story of the week this week.
00:07:50.640 This one comes to us courtesy of CTV News.
00:07:54.000 So the headline says, experts say that climate change is driving up the risk of wildfires
00:08:00.160 in Canada.
00:08:01.200 It's a Canadian press story.
00:08:03.200 And of course, they find experts to tell them exactly what they already believe, which is
00:08:08.240 that global warming is this huge threat to our way of life and that we just have to have more
00:08:13.840 big government and more taxes and more regulations to kill our economy, to kill our industry, to raise
00:08:20.560 more revenues for government because somehow that will absolve us all from the changing climate
00:08:25.360 and we'll be able to turn down the dial or something like that.
00:08:28.480 The media like to find environmental experts to tell us all about how climate change is destroying
00:08:33.920 everything.
00:08:34.640 But when it comes to the wildfires, both the ones in Alberta that were devastating last year
00:08:39.200 and the current ones in Australia, they basically glaze over the fact that in both of these cases,
00:08:44.560 there are arsonists that are actively being charged, actively being looked at,
00:08:49.280 because they're the ones that are actually the cause of these wildfires.
00:08:52.640 So I don't really understand how you can write an entire news article blaming forest
00:08:57.280 fires on climate change and just omit the fact that, for instance, in Australia, 24 people have
00:09:02.560 been charged with arson in relation to these ongoing forest fires.
00:09:07.120 And they say that, sure, that the catastrophe of these wildfires are also contributed
00:09:12.240 by drought, extreme heat, but also individuals.
00:09:16.160 So police have charged at least 24 people for intentionally starting the bushfires in the
00:09:19.840 state of the New South Wales.
00:09:21.360 According to a statement by New South Wales police released on Monday, NSW police have taken legal
00:09:26.720 action against 183 people, 40 of whom are juveniles for fire related offenses since November 8th.
00:09:34.000 The statement said the legal action ranges from cautions to criminal charges.
00:09:39.280 So it's arson. These fires are being caused by arson.
00:09:42.640 Again, this is very similar to the large wildfires that happened in Alberta.
00:09:47.120 The RCMP determined that it was arson that caused those as well.
00:09:51.680 This is from a Canadian press news story in October 2019.
00:09:55.600 A wildfire that threatened remote communities in north central Alberta and torched 27,000 square
00:10:01.840 kilometers of forest was deliberately said.
00:10:04.800 RCMP and Alberta government investigators have determined that the McMillan forest fire
00:10:09.680 was started as a result of arson.
00:10:11.760 The wildfire began near the community of Wabaska on May 18th and grew to the point where it forced
00:10:16.800 the evacuation of Wabaska and Peerless Trout First Nation.
00:10:20.720 Again, you would think that all of this would be relevant in a story about
00:10:24.160 what causes the forest fires, but no.
00:10:27.200 But no, the mainstream media instead just say that it is climate change.
00:10:30.800 Okay, maybe that's why nobody trusts mainstream media anymore.
00:10:34.080 All right, it's that kind of day and I feel like we should end the podcast on a positive note.
00:10:37.680 We need some kind of a pick me up here.
00:10:39.280 So I found this video circulating on Twitter and I just absolutely love it.
00:10:42.560 I have to share it in the middle of winter on a cold, cold January day.
00:10:46.240 This might be the pick me up that you need.
00:10:48.720 So this was posted.
00:10:49.840 It says this 14 month old was helping his dad shovel in Newfoundland
00:10:54.560 after yesterday's 15 inches of snowfall when he glitched.
00:10:58.720 So here he is, the little guy helping his dad shovel the driveway, shovel the snow,
00:11:03.520 and that's when he just goes teetering over and dad just nonchalantly picks him right back up.
00:11:08.960 I absolutely love this.
00:11:10.000 I have a little boy that's about four months younger than this guy and I can't wait for him to
00:11:15.280 start shoveling the driveway and start helping out around the house like this.
00:11:18.640 This is adorable and just love it.
00:11:21.520 Just love Canadians in the winter coming together, getting through the winter.
00:11:25.360 All right.
00:11:25.760 I'm going to leave it at that.
00:11:26.800 Thank you so much for tuning in and we will be back again next week.
