Juno News - The Candice Malcolm Show： The ＂woke left＂ ruins Hockey Night in Canada

00:00:00.000 A female journalist is assaulted by anti-conservative protesters and the mainstream media

00:00:05.020 completely ignore it. Alberta conservatives carve out a new path for confederation.

00:00:09.940 The woke left ruins Hockey Night in Canada and a community comes together to support the family

00:00:14.820 of a child with cancer in Ottawa. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:24.460 Hi everyone, we're coming to you from Calgary, Alberta this week for a special podcast. We were

00:00:29.040 here over the weekend to cover the Alberta Conservative Party's AGM. We have an interview

00:00:34.400 set down with Premier Kenney to talk about his plan for the province of Alberta and for Canada.

00:00:39.880 You can catch that over at tnc.news. Now while we were at this convention, at this conference,

00:00:46.580 we bumped into our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed. Sheila is a conservative journalist over at The Rebel.

00:00:52.160 She was outside where there was a protest. Union members had been bused in to protest

00:00:58.540 against Jason Kenney and some of his austerity measures that he's bringing in in Alberta.

00:01:03.900 And this was the confrontation that was caught on tape.

00:01:13.540 So it's pretty clear that the male protester here strikes Sheila Gunn-Reed. He hits her in the back.

00:01:20.840 It's caught right there on camera. And yet the mainstream media have completely ignored

00:01:25.840 that this incident happened. If you look at the news stories that came out of the convention over

00:01:31.060 the weekend, even the news stories about the protest, they didn't even so much as mention

00:01:36.780 the fact that a journalist was hit by one of the protesters. It was not a peaceful protest.

00:01:42.360 It was a violent protest. And that is a huge distinction. You know, in Canada, we have the

00:01:46.700 right to peaceful assembly. We have the right to freedom of speech. You have the right to protest

00:01:50.260 politicians as much as you want. But you have to do it peacefully. And once you start assaulting

00:01:55.020 journalists and hitting people, it's no longer a peaceful protest. So for all the journalists

00:01:59.220 that were there covering the protests and to just ignore the incident, you know, you had all the

00:02:03.540 mainstream media there. They were filming the protesters. Why didn't they catch this? The

00:02:07.460 police were there. Why didn't the police go and look into this and investigate it? It's really

00:02:11.260 alarming. And to explain why people are so upset about this, just imagine for a second that there

00:02:16.500 was a group of conservative protesters outside of an NDP convention. And a CBC journalist went out to

00:02:23.120 interview them and talk to them, maybe even push back and challenge them a little bit on what they

00:02:27.700 were doing. Imagine the outrage if one of those conservative protesters had struck and hit a

00:02:33.980 female journalist. It would be the biggest story in the country. It would be the subject of a huge 1.00

00:02:39.300 campaign. There'd be outrage. There'd be outcries. Politicians would be tweeting about it. It would be

00:02:44.160 the biggest news story in Canada. But for some reason, when it happens to Sheila Gunn-Reed at the

00:02:49.380 rebel, nobody pays attention. And that's a big problem in Canada. We covered it at TNC.news. I

00:02:55.580 interviewed Sheila. But that's not enough. Shame on the mainstream media for ignoring it. And let me

00:03:01.660 just say, I was at the convention. I didn't see the protests. I wasn't there when it was happening.

00:03:06.820 The stories about it made it seem like it was this huge all-day thing that distracted away from the AGM

00:03:12.780 itself. It wasn't. It was barely noticed by the people who were at the convention. I didn't see them.

00:03:18.360 I was there all day. I didn't see them. They came quickly and left. It was cold outside, whatever.

00:03:22.840 But the fact that the mainstream media is more focused on a couple of protesters who were, let's

00:03:27.820 be honest, paid to be there, as opposed to the hundreds, probably a thousand members of the AGM

00:03:35.840 that were participating in democracy, that were putting forth ideas, that were debating the future

00:03:40.320 of the province of Alberta and the country. It just shows where the media is minded. They don't really

00:03:45.500 care about the progress being made within the governing party. They just care about the few

00:03:49.580 angry people outside because that's the narrative. I was very pleased to sit down with Premier Jason

00:03:55.320 Kenney. He talked about his Fair Deal plan. I think that the vision for Canada and what it should be

00:04:00.880 is a very decentralized country. We have regions that are really distinct. What's good for people

00:04:07.360 in Quebec is not necessarily the same as what's good for people in BC, Alberta or other provinces.

00:04:11.400 So why not have the provinces have more and more control? That's sort of what the Fair Deal

00:04:17.280 does. It basically says, you know, to Ottawa, if we don't have these certain conditions met

00:04:22.740 with pipelines being built, with allowing our resources to get to market without a fair deal

00:04:28.160 on equalization, you know, these are the number of things that we want to do. We're going to start

00:04:32.680 collecting our own taxes. So no longer use the CRA and collect taxes locally in Alberta. We'll have

00:04:39.620 our own police force, our own pension plan, and I think that's huge. And one of the things I would

00:04:43.860 like to see if Alberta does bring in its own pension plan is to actually get rid of the scheme

00:04:48.500 of a Ponzi scheme, like the Canada pension plan, where everyone just pays in and you don't really

00:04:53.860 know exactly how much you're ever going to get out. You don't have good returns. It's not a really

00:04:57.780 meaningful investment program. That's why people my age and younger can basically never expect to get

00:05:03.300 anything out of the CPP. It's basically just a big waste of money for us, a slush fund going to older

00:05:08.580 generations. So if Alberta does take that over, hopefully, you know, it will focus more on making 0.75

00:05:14.100 it fair for young people and for everyone who is paying into it. And I think that this plan,

00:05:20.020 if it's actualized, will strengthen Canada. You know, instead of Alberta leaving, going it alone,

00:05:26.100 let's just give them a lot more power to manage their own business and put Albertans first. 0.83

00:05:32.580 So, you know, a lot of momentum, pretty exciting stuff. The media is obsessed with the fact that

00:05:37.620 the left and the unions are accusing the premier in Alberta of making cuts, cutting, you know, nursing

00:05:43.380 and teachers and that kind of thing. You know, I think that's pretty misrepresentative of what's

00:05:48.980 happening. From my understanding, the premier is not cutting those programs. He's just capping them,

00:05:54.180 so they're not growing. And the jobs that are being shed are, it's going to happen through attrition,

00:05:59.300 like someone's retiring. And so the position is not going to be replaced, as opposed to actually

00:06:02.900 firing people, which is what the left would have you believe. So lots of misinformation I'm finding

00:06:07.620 while being here in Alberta, that the left is really, you know, instead of putting out the facts

00:06:11.860 as they are, they're sort of distorting them and spinning it. And the media is all too happy to go

00:06:16.420 along with that. All right, moving on. Hockey Night in Canada happened over the weekend. We know that

00:06:20.100 Don Cherry is no longer a part of this program. And so they have a new kind of

00:06:23.620 reimagined left wing hockey night in Canada. Okay, so Ron McClain is a new host. He has some new co-hosts

00:06:29.140 here. And you can see that they're trying really hard to be diverse and representative of different

00:06:33.940 communities. But hearing Ron McClain kind of like talk about exactly the kinds of things that the woke

00:06:39.380 left wants you to say, like acknowledging that he believes he has white privilege, that he was sort of

00:06:44.900 so blind to his own white privilege, that he wasn't doing a good enough job, including people from

00:06:50.260 different races and different ethnicities in his programming. And he says that that is an example

00:06:55.460 of systemic racism. You know, I don't see you as black. I don't see Tara as a woman. And then I

00:07:01.380 realized there's your white male privilege. You know what, Ron, you don't have to see that because you

00:07:05.460 don't need to see that. And you told me, Kwame, an amazing story about when the kids throw back to

00:07:10.660 Hockey Night in Canada, as a general rule, they're often all white. And if they're not all white, the whites 0.96

00:07:15.860 often have the speaking part. And it's the same with our Rogers Hometown Hockey. We're so proud of

00:07:20.020 being inclusive. But how many times do we get people of color to pick the three stars? And

00:07:25.620 it was just a real eye opener that I don't recognize the structural racism or sexism.

00:07:31.700 It's just it's just so cringeworthy to watch a sport like hockey. You know, you watch hockey to relax,

00:07:36.820 to disengage from all of the crazy politics of the world. And to be sitting there, you know,

00:07:41.780 trying to enjoy a hockey game and to all of a sudden be lectured about identity politics and

00:07:46.820 supposedly not being inclusive enough. Why? Because of the skin color of the kids that they're 1.00

00:07:51.780 interviewing or the kids that get to read out the three stars at the end of the hockey game.

00:07:56.820 They're so obsessed with race. It's to the point where it is racist itself. Like to hear Ron McLean

00:08:02.660 talk about the whites, you know, as if that's like some group of people. It's an outdated way of

00:08:09.940 speaking. And to me, I just cringe when I see this kind of stuff being spoken about. More and more

00:08:14.580 people are just going to tune out because no one wants to hear that kind of stuff. Okay, let's move

00:08:19.460 away from politics for a second with this story that really just sort of tears at your heartstrings.

00:08:24.820 So a three month old baby in Ottawa was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November. She's currently having

00:08:31.860 surgery to remove as much of the mass as possible. And obviously, this is just, you know, one of the

00:08:38.100 horrible tragedies that could happen to a family having a child with this kind of illness. As sad

00:08:46.180 as this is, the family has put together a fundraiser online at GoFundMe. Their campaign goal was to

00:08:52.500 raise $50,000 so that the family, the family's not able to work at this point because they're, you know,

00:08:57.540 the mom and dad are spending all of their time in the hospital at the bedside with their young

00:09:01.860 daughter. So they had a goal of raising $50,000. They've already raised $59,000. So, you know, this

00:09:08.660 is just a beautiful example of how a community can come together to support someone in a time of need.

00:09:16.100 You know, there's nothing more tragic than a child that's sick and has cancer. But, you know, this is

00:09:21.860 the value of community, of people just, you know, using the internet, using social media for good

00:09:28.420 to help this family in their time of need. So, you know, if you're able, head on over. We'll include

00:09:34.660 a link to the GoFundMe page and chip in a few dollars. And if not, just, you know, keep this

00:09:40.340 family and this baby in your prayers because, you know, I can't imagine what it's like to go through

00:09:47.460 something like that. All right. Gonna leave it at that. Thank you so much for joining us. We'll be back

00:09:52.660 on Thursday from Toronto. So thank you so much and have a great day.
