Transcript

00:00:00.040 Justin Trudeau bows to a foreign despot. He turns a blind eye to anti-gay
00:00:04.680 persecution, says he admires fascist China, and he has no idea how to get our
00:00:10.600 economy moving again. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:18.560 Hey everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. This is a special live edition of The
00:00:23.200 Candace Malcolm Show. Happy Family Day to everyone. I think that it's family day
00:00:27.200 for most of the country in Canada. It's President's Day down in the US, so I think
00:00:31.580 it's family day in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and so on.
00:00:37.160 So basically most of the country is off today, so we decided to do a special live
00:00:41.900 edition. Justin Trudeau is finally back in Canada, so I guess that's good news. His
00:00:46.820 embarrassing little world tour trying to get Canada a seat on the United Nations
00:00:51.620 Security Council has finally come to an end, and thank goodness it couldn't have
00:00:54.960 happened sooner, because he was embarrassing the entire country time and
00:00:58.560 time again. So we're going to come, we're going to go through some of that, and we're
00:01:01.260 going to do a update on all of the blockades, all of the fake news that's
00:01:06.360 coming out of them, because the media has really done a disservice to Canadians in
00:01:10.200 reporting on these blockades. They've completely twisted who it is who is
00:01:14.480 actually protesting, because this is not a First Nations protest. This is not an
00:01:18.800 Aboriginal protest. If you pay attention only to mainstream media, you may believe
00:01:22.800 that this is solely an Indigenous protest. It isn't. That's not true. This is a
00:01:28.920 protest of the far left, the far environmentalist left, and then we're
00:01:31.920 going to talk a little bit about the conservative leadership race as well. So
00:01:35.580 let's get right to it. Thanks so much for tuning in. If you're watching, let me
00:01:38.640 know where you're watching from. Let me know where you are tuning in from. I'm
00:01:42.840 usually in Toronto, but I'm actually down in California right now, so this show is
00:01:46.440 being recorded from San Mateo, California, which is where I'm staying with my
00:01:50.340 family, and my husband took our son out for a walk, so they are out of house
00:01:53.880 leaving me some quiet to record this podcast, so thank you to them. Let's get
00:01:58.660 right to it. So this was making the rounds over the weekend, and wow, is it ever
00:02:02.520 embarrassing. Justin Trudeau bowing to a despot, the worst of the worst, an Islamist
00:02:08.460 dictatorship, a fascist who has so much blood on his hands. Now, if you are an
00:02:13.100 Iranian person living in Canada, if you're part of the diaspora, if you left Iran,
00:02:18.960 fled Iran, and gone to Canada, seeing the Prime Minister bowing to the Iranian foreign
00:02:24.780 minister, bowing to Javad Sarif, is just like a punch in the gut. I mean, this guy
00:02:30.280 has been with the regime since the revolution, since the Islamic
00:02:35.220 revolution back in 1979. He is sort of the academic behind it all, the brains
00:02:39.240 behind it, like so many sort of, you know, fascist academics in dictatorships. He was
00:02:45.420 educated in the United States, but he is sort of the brains behind the Islamic
00:02:49.380 Republic. And so here's Justin Trudeau sort of doing a surprise pop-in video
00:02:54.240 meeting with, so it was a meeting between the foreign ministers of Canada and Iran,
00:02:59.820 and then for whatever reason, Justin Trudeau decided to come in. Now, the reason
00:03:03.780 the PMO said that he was there was to sort of have a firm conversation with Iran
00:03:07.680 about getting the black box from that flight that was shot down by Iran, which,
00:03:12.600 remember, they lied about for several days before finally admitting, you know, the
00:03:15.780 one that killed 55 Canadian citizens, another 30 permanent residents. We know
00:03:19.020 that most of the people on that plane were heading to Canada. So what is Justin
00:03:22.020 Trudeau? He does this sort of like jovial, subservient bow to this disgusting
00:03:28.840 human being. And let me tell you, Persians, it's not even part of their culture to bow,
00:03:32.940 okay? Like Japanese people bow, Arab people bow, Persian people don't really bow. They
00:03:37.860 shake their head, maybe, when they're meeting them, but you can see that the
00:03:40.600 foreign minister of Iran is not bowing to Trudeau, but Trudeau does this
00:03:44.560 subservient bow. Wow, it's just so embarrassing. Justin Trudeau should not
00:03:47.680 have been meeting with this individual in the first place. Canada doesn't even
00:03:50.360 have diplomatic relations with Iran. We don't allow their diplomats into Canada,
00:03:54.940 we don't have an embassy in Iran, we don't have any formal channels of
00:03:58.300 communication with this regime. In fact, we consider it a terrorist regime. They're
00:04:02.140 the largest state sponsor of terrorism. So why is our Prime Minister meeting with a
00:04:06.160 foreign minister who we don't even have any diplomatic ties to, who we consider to be a
00:04:11.120 terrorist? And not only that, but a sort of friendly, jovial handshake and a bow. Wow,
00:04:17.240 Justin Trudeau looks terrible, incredibly embarrassing for Canada, and especially,
00:04:21.840 again, for the fact that it was just a month ago that this regime shot down a commercial
00:04:27.160 airliner, murdering 176 people. That's the person that Justin Trudeau is bowing at. What a bad look,
00:04:34.120 what a bad look. So first there was that, then we had this exclusive, well, this is based on a tweet
00:04:40.480 from, so Justin Trudeau was off in Africa, he's trying to convince all of these African
00:04:45.280 dictators to vote for Canada, again, to have a seat on the United Nations. Like, at a time
00:04:49.900 like this in Canada, where our country is just in total chaos, our economy is not
00:04:53.620 working, you know, everything is grinding to a halt, and Justin Trudeau is off
00:04:57.100 gallivanting around the world trying to convince African dictatorships to vote for us
00:05:01.120 the United Nations Security Council. Like, why? I just don't understand why. What is
00:05:05.200 Justin Trudeau going to accomplish on the United Nations Security Council? He can't
00:05:09.040 even manage to keep Canada together as a country. Under Justin Trudeau, we have a
00:05:14.440 resurgence of the bloc in Quebec, the emergence of a huge Western separatist
00:05:18.820 party in Alberta, and, you know, we have railway service that's not even
00:05:24.100 functioning. Railway service in Canada has been shut down, and Justin Trudeau is off
00:05:28.000 trying to convince the rest of the world that we somehow are this model of, you
00:05:32.200 know, diplomacy and conflict resolution. Like, we can't even get stuff done in our
00:05:36.820 own country. So, one of the stops for Justin Trudeau was meeting with the
00:05:40.780 president of Senegal. I tweeted this out because it was just so pathetic. Justin
00:05:44.860 Trudeau met with him, the president of Senegal tweeted out that he was so
00:05:48.380 excited that Canada was supporting the economy in Senegal, including the oil and
00:05:51.940 gas industry, which is incredibly ironic. Like, Canada supports the oil and gas
00:05:56.200 industry in Senegal, and not in our own country. Like, in what world does that make
00:06:01.720 any sense that we're supporting Senegal's oil and gas? Well, you know, there's
00:06:05.380 another issue here, which is that Senegal has incredibly harsh penalties against
00:06:10.420 being gay, against being gay. And the president of Senegal was asked about it, and
00:06:15.460 he sort of just shrugged it off. He said, you know, it's not about homophobia, it's
00:06:19.540 basically just that our cultural values say that you shouldn't be gay. And so,
00:06:24.940 because of that, they have a horrible record when it comes to persecution of
00:06:28.720 gays. According to Human Rights Watch, 39 people were arrested just for the sin of
00:06:34.540 being gay. And Justin Trudeau, who's supposed to be this huge ally, this huge
00:06:38.260 supporter of that cause, you know, he doesn't even bring it up. He doesn't even
00:06:41.680 mention it. And he goes ahead and has that bilateral, because he doesn't care about
00:06:46.240 principles. He doesn't care about, you know, his beliefs. He doesn't care about
00:06:50.260 anything. He just wants the sort of glory of being on the United Nations Security
00:06:53.900 Council. Again, what a disgrace, what a disgrace. And, you know, I think things kind
00:06:58.180 of, things just keep going poorly for Trudeau on the world stage. He can't help
00:07:02.320 but sort of embarrass himself. And I think this was probably one of the worst ones.
00:07:07.060 This is Stephen Chase, who is a reporter with the Globe and Mail, and he says that
00:07:14.000 Trudeau's government had high praise for Xi. So Beijing's account of the
00:07:18.440 Champagne Wang meeting February 14th in Munich says that Champagne, who's the
00:07:22.640 Canadian foreign minister, said that the Canadian side admires the outstanding
00:07:27.460 leadership of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese government in their fight
00:07:31.640 against the epidemic. And they're talking about the coronavirus. So Canada
00:07:37.020 admires the outstanding leadership of China when it comes to the coronavirus.
00:07:42.340 Okay, I'm not going to play it on the show. I actually found it very disturbing.
00:07:45.780 But there's video, just take a minute and Google, Google China's response to
00:07:50.780 coronavirus. And what you'll see are dozens of videos, just some of the most
00:07:55.440 disturbing videos that you can find on the internet of basically like, you know,
00:08:00.920 police service going and taking people, ripping them from their homes, ripping
00:08:05.580 mothers from their children, taking people who are suspected of possibly having the
00:08:09.780 coronavirus, pulling them out and just taking them away. Because that's what
00:08:13.700 fascist countries do. If you are suspected of being sick, who knows if these people
00:08:17.540 are actually sick, or if they're just accused of being sick, or if they have
00:08:20.220 some other type of, you know, flu or something like that. But the police in
00:08:24.020 China are rounding people up, taking them, and just hauling them away from their
00:08:28.740 family. And that's the kind of thing that Canada supposedly admires. We admire that.
00:08:33.120 I mean, it's just so horrible. Again, I'm not even going to play it on the show. But
00:08:37.700 I've seen some of the clips, and it is very, very disturbing. There's one clip in
00:08:41.120 particular of two police taking two mothers, and you can hear children crying in the
00:08:45.760 background. Like they've literally gone into their home, ripped these women out.
00:08:49.200 You can see one of the husbands sort of trying to stop it, like saying like, no, no,
00:08:52.700 don't take these mothers away from their children, or whatever's going on. And these
00:08:56.380 sort of police with their whole like, you know, gas mask situation going on, just
00:09:01.680 ripping these families away. And that's supposedly what Canada admires. I mean,
00:09:06.200 it's one thing to say, okay, you know, it's a tough situation for China. We
00:09:09.380 appreciate their honesty. We appreciate their openness, which I don't even think
00:09:13.000 is true. I think that China has been lying about the coronavirus from day one. And
00:09:16.340 as things get worse and worse, you know, this is on the Chinese government. And
00:09:20.400 for Canada to say that once again, remember Justin Trudeau said that he had
00:09:23.700 once said that he admires China's basic dictatorship, because they could turn
00:09:27.320 their economy around on a dime. Again, you know, this is what Justin Trudeau says
00:09:32.920 in, you know, when he lets his guard down, when he's telling the truth
00:09:37.640 accidentally, that Canada admires China. Outstanding leadership. Give me a break.
00:09:43.340 Give me a break. China's a fascist dictatorship. It's disgusting what they do.
00:09:46.600 They have absolutely no respect for individual liberty or freedom, personal
00:09:50.940 freedoms. They don't care about individuals. And yet, here's Canada sucking up to
00:09:55.020 China on the world stage. So, okay, let's move on. Let's talk about these
00:09:59.340 protests. Let's talk about these blockades that are really just grinding Canada to
00:10:04.660 a halt. I mean, sometimes Canada really feels like a failed state. It feels like
00:10:07.780 a country that just cannot get anything done. We can't build critical
00:10:10.420 infrastructure. We can't even have a functioning railway system, because we
00:10:14.360 allow a group of far-left fringe environmentalists to use the
00:10:19.340 heckler's veto and take the entire country hostage. It happens time and time again.
00:10:24.680 And it's really disappointing. It's really disappointing that we don't have the
00:10:28.320 leadership required to just say, you know what, enough is enough. It's time to, if
00:10:32.960 you're blocking a railway, if you're blocking, you know, trains from being able to
00:10:37.300 deliver products to Canadians, being able to allow people to get their products to
00:10:41.880 market. Someone on Periscope is saying Canada's number one place to live. Look, I
00:10:45.780 agree. I think Canada is a wonderful, wonderful country. It is a model in so many
00:10:49.880 ways. But when it comes to the way that we treat protesters, the way we treat a
00:10:54.200 fringe, far-left group of protesters, we give them a national stage. We allow them
00:10:59.120 to throw basically a collective temper tantrum and to grind our economy to a
00:11:03.920 halt. Okay, enough is enough. You've made your point. You don't like oil and gas.
00:11:07.880 Well, guess what? Too bad. This is the democratic process, okay? This pipeline has
00:11:11.960 been approved by every level of government. It has been approved by Justin Trudeau's
00:11:14.880 government, which is, as we know, incredibly anti-pipeline, anti-energy,
00:11:18.480 anti-oil and gas. They've already approved it. The British Columbia government, the
00:11:21.840 far-left NDP government, has approved this, has approved this pipeline. And the
00:11:27.780 local governments, the elected band leaders, 20 First Nations elected band
00:11:32.340 leaders, have approved this pipeline, including, and this is something that
00:11:36.640 doesn't often get published, doesn't often get the press that it should, the, even
00:11:43.140 the Watastawin First Nations, the people that started the initial protests, the
00:11:48.240 hereditary chiefs of that nation, the elected leaders of that nation have, have
00:11:52.500 approved this pipeline. So everyone's approved of it. And yet a group of people
00:11:56.580 don't like energy. They don't like oil and gas. We know that. Their goal is not to
00:12:01.740 create a greener economy. No, their goal is to shut down the economy. And they have
00:12:06.540 been allowed to get away with this all. And I think that probably the worst part is how
00:12:10.860 the media misrepresent them and, and talk about it like it's a First Nations
00:12:14.300 protest. Okay, this isn't First Nations people protesting. We know this. We know
00:12:17.580 this. I've gone through this several times in the podcast, that there are
00:12:20.880 countless interviews and videos of people in the First Nations community in this
00:12:25.680 specific community that are supportive of the pipeline. They want the jobs. They
00:12:31.100 want the opportunity. They want, you know, responsibly developed. By the way, this is,
00:12:35.220 this isn't even, this isn't an oil. This is liquefied natural gas. This is one of the
00:12:38.820 greenest forms of energy that you can have. And it will bring tremendous
00:12:43.620 opportunity, especially for, you know, young men. And that's, that's something
00:12:47.820 that gets overlooked. So if you're watching the media and they represent this
00:12:51.480 as a First Nations protest, then you know that you're not getting the full story.
00:12:56.640 The full story is that this, and even the Trudeau government. So Justin Trudeau
00:13:02.140 canceled his trip to Barbados. He, I think, finally realized how big of a deal
00:13:06.120 these blockades are. He was sort of ignoring them at first and just hoping
00:13:08.700 that like his lower ministers could deal with it. Well, the problem's not going
00:13:12.120 away. And yes, we need the Prime Minister. This is why we have a Prime Minister.
00:13:15.120 Okay, so he came back and he had a meeting today. And what do we get from the meeting?
00:13:19.120 Kind of just more of the same. Like the message from Justin Trudeau is Ottawa wants
00:13:23.700 a quick peaceful resolution to the pipeline protests. Okay, genius. What are you
00:13:28.080 going to do about it? What are you actually going to do? Justin Trudeau, this is a CP report that
00:13:32.000 came out just today. They just had this meeting earlier today. So Canadian Press reporting.
00:13:36.500 Justin Trudeau says his government is committed to finding a quick and peaceful resolution
00:13:40.380 to the anti-pipeline blockades that have shut down swaths of the country's train system and
00:13:44.040 temporarily blocked bridges and highways. Comments came Monday as Trudeau emerged from
00:13:48.060 a closed door meeting with Cabinet in Ottawa, where the Liberal government has been under
00:13:52.000 growing pressure to end the blockades. Prime Minister who said he has spoken to a number
00:13:56.640 of premiers and Indigenous leaders did not offer any specifics on how the government would plan
00:14:00.520 to deal with this crisis. Surprise, surprise. And quote, I understand how worrisome this
00:14:04.760 is for many Canadians and difficult for many people and families across the country. Trudeau
00:14:09.060 said in the steps of the building housing the Prime Minister's office, we're going to continue
00:14:13.680 to focus on resolving this issue quickly and peacefully and that's what's going on. Okay,
00:14:17.820 so nothing, basically nothing, just more of the same, more, you know, empty rhetoric.
00:14:22.560 But you know, the real issue is that this is a group of fringe far left environmentalists
00:14:28.560 who have co-opted this cause. They sort of claim to be representing Indigenous communities
00:14:34.300 and First Nations, even though we know that so many people from not only the Wasuwet'en
00:14:40.060 nation but also broader First Nations across the country support oil and gas, support the
00:14:45.300 pipeline. So as reported, this is coming exclusively from TNC.news. So first we learned that two far-left
00:14:53.100 extremist websites are offering detailed instructions and maps on how to sabotage rail lines and other
00:14:58.840 critical Canadian infrastructure. So the websites in question are North Shore and Warrior Up,
00:15:04.040 and they both instruct readers to disrupt Canada's rail, pipeline, road, and communication networks.
00:15:09.160 In one North Shore blog post, the author calls for people to stand in solidarity with the Wasuwet'en
00:15:14.840 protesters by attacking railroads. North Shore describes itself as a place for far-left extremists
00:15:20.240 from southern Ontario to gather and organize. Rail traffic creates excellent opportunity for state
00:15:25.240 and economic disruption. Infrastructure is so sprawling it's relatively indefensible. That's
00:15:30.240 what the website says. Historically, even short disruptions by actions in rail strikes have had
00:15:36.040 large economic impacts. After just two days of recent rail strikes, the federal government started
00:15:40.180 drafting emergency legislation out of concern for the economy. In 2012, a nine-day rail disruption dropped
00:15:45.480 the local GDP by seven percent. Okay, so this website is actually celebrating a fall in the GDP. I mean,
00:15:51.880 these people are radical communists. These people are radical far-left communists. They're environmentalists.
00:15:56.520 They're so fringe. They're celebrating the fact that people are losing jobs. They're celebrating the fact
00:16:02.580 that people's livelihoods are being threatened. Not just people who work in oil and gas who might work on
00:16:07.640 these specific projects, but the sort of, you know, the flow of the economy, the one-offs. You know,
00:16:14.040 imagine if you're a farmer right now and you can't get your grain to market. Or, you know,
00:16:17.880 if you have to commute to work, if you can't be with your family this weekend because you were unable
00:16:22.200 to get a train. I mean, the entire, just to think about all the ramifications, the paramedics in British
00:16:28.680 Columbia put out a statement saying that people's lives are at risk because, you know, road blockades threaten
00:16:34.280 ambulances and fire trucks and the ability of just, you know, people to respond in emergency situations.
00:16:39.160 And so that, so you think about all the ramifications of these blockades and then you find these fringe
00:16:44.920 left websites that are instructing people to do it more and celebrating the fall of our economy and
00:16:51.000 GDP. And then you have the Prime Minister again treating this like it's environmental protest. So he's,
00:16:56.920 he's dispatched his environmental, his, sorry, his Indigenous Affairs Minister, Mark Miller, to sort of be
00:17:02.680 the spokesperson. Mark Miller said this, he said, quote, we have the experience of OCA 30 years ago
00:17:08.600 where people went in with the police and someone died. My question to Canadians, my question to myself
00:17:12.840 and fellow politicians, regardless of party, is whether we do the same thing, the same way and
00:17:18.360 repeat errors of past, or do we take the time to do it right? So again, he's comparing this to the OCA
00:17:23.800 crisis 30 years ago. But how is this the same? I mean, this is a group of fringe, far left environmentalists.
00:17:29.800 And as my colleagues at Shumartha pointed out, we know that they're fringe, far left environmentalists.
00:17:34.680 They're not all First Nations people, because we can see videos, we can see images of the people, and we can
00:17:40.280 tell that they're not Indigenous people. Most of the people in protest, a lot of the people in protest are not
00:17:45.640 Indigenous. We've also seen American license plates. So you have fringe, far left Americans coming to be part of the,
00:17:52.600 you know, be part of the crisis, be part of the blockades, and be part of the action.
00:17:58.600 Again, this isn't in solidarity with Indigenous people. This is someone co-opting the entire
00:18:04.040 movement, pretending that they're Indigenous because they get more credibility and more sympathy from
00:18:08.440 politicians and the media. But really, this is just fringe, far left environmentalists. And our
00:18:14.440 government has no idea how to handle that. They're, you know, they're making it seem like it's a
00:18:18.120 reconciliation issue. No. Go talk to the First Nations people. Go talk to the elected chiefs.
00:18:25.800 Go talk to young men in the region that are desperate for jobs. And you will find out that
00:18:31.400 they're not in support of this fringe, far left environmentalists. They're really not.
00:18:36.280 And, you know, the sooner our Prime Minister clues in on that, the sooner that he sends the police in
00:18:41.560 to do their job, get these protesters out of there. I mean, enough is enough. It's time to take a
00:18:47.560 law and order approach. It's time to send in the military, send in the police, get these people
00:18:52.600 off the railways, get our economy moving again. All right. That's my two cents. Okay, one more thing
00:18:57.720 I want to talk about before we get going. This is kind of exciting. So conservative, hopeful,
00:19:02.600 Aaron O'Toole, as you know, he's been running a pretty conservative campaign. He has been, you know,
00:19:07.880 saying a lot of great stuff, saying a lot of really conservative, making a lot of conservative points.
00:19:14.200 I hope he remains this conservative and this committed to doing the right thing. But he
00:19:19.720 announced over the weekend that a conservative government led by Aaron O'Toole would slash
00:19:24.680 funding for CBC's English language television programming and digital properties and eventually
00:19:30.840 privatize them. So O'Toole, who's running for leadership of the conservative party, announced
00:19:34.920 the policy on Twitter on Friday. So this is Aaron O'Toole's Twitter. He says, actually, let's play a
00:19:39.960 clip. He's got a clip right here. Let's play it. An O'Toole government will modernize and reform the
00:19:44.520 CBC. We will end funding for CBC digital, and we will cut CBC English TV budget by 50%. Our plan
00:19:53.320 will phase out TV advertising with a goal to fully privatize CBC English TV by the end of our first
00:19:59.880 mandate. We will preserve CBC radio. It is commercial free and delivers public interest programming
00:20:06.120 from coast to coast. Public interest, but from a left wing perspective. He doesn't mention that,
00:20:10.600 but I mean, fine. You know, it is a, at least the radio is sort of serving local markets and it's doing
00:20:17.960 what you kind of imagine a public broadcaster would do. Whereas, you know, the actual CBC news,
00:20:23.800 I mean, it's so redundant. There's so many Canadian delivered news sources like the program you're
00:20:28.440 watching right now. You know, I don't need government subsidy to do this. Canadians can get their news from a
00:20:33.320 number of ways. We really don't need, uh, far left, you know, distorted vision of the country
00:20:39.880 while also paying for it. Let's, uh, let's continue this Erin O'Toole app. We will also preserve Radio
00:20:44.920 Canada, which plays an important role connecting Quebecers and Francophones across Canada in their
00:20:50.600 own language. The world of broadcast media has changed dramatically, but our public broadcaster is
00:20:56.600 stuck in the past. When the CBC was created in the 1930s, it was an early way to connect the vast
00:21:02.520 dominion of Canada. Radio and later TV broadcasts were new and often the only way to connect the
00:21:08.360 nation and tell our story. Almost a century later, Canadians are connected to the world with a swipe
00:21:14.760 of their finger. They carry their own broadcast studio in their pocket and have unlimited media
00:21:20.120 streaming options 24-7. The Trudeau government increased the CBC budget by over $600 million to
00:21:26.920 expand its digital and TV presence. This expanded CBC digital presence hurt local newspapers and media
00:21:33.800 outlets fighting for declining advertising revenue. The result? Trudeau created a $600 million media bailout
00:21:41.320 fund to repair the damage caused by his CBC expansion. Can you imagine? Can you imagine?
00:21:48.200 Trudeau just wants his hand in every pot, every media pot, and it's really of a distorting impact. You can't
00:21:53.320 trust a reporter that gets paid by the government. You just can't. You know that they're not going to
00:21:57.880 deliver an honest assessment of the situation because they rely on the government. You're never
00:22:02.200 going to have sort of a libertarian worldview represented because why would they represent,
00:22:06.360 why would they show the libertarian side which would say the government has absolutely no business
00:22:10.360 being involved in the media? I mean you can even argue it's a conservative position as well. So the media
00:22:17.160 playing field is incredibly biased in Canada. If it wasn't bad enough, Trudeau upped the ante, gave
00:22:21.320 CBC an extra $600 million, then had to give the newspapers an extra $600 million to even it out.
00:22:25.800 So good for Aaron O'Toole. This is really good stuff. The fact that he is, you know, running this
00:22:31.160 campaign from a conservative perspective, he is putting the facts out there. I mean the great thing
00:22:35.880 too about social media is that you can use this to hold him to account. So if he does become leader of
00:22:40.760 the party and then he tries to sort of like back away and get scared of his shadow in the way that Andrew
00:22:45.560 Scheer did, at least you have, you know, these kind of videos that you can hold up and say,
00:22:50.200 wait a minute, Aaron O'Toole, you pledged to defund the CBC, let's hold you to it. And honestly,
00:22:55.160 I was a little skeptical of Aaron O'Toole at first. I think he's a really nice guy.
00:22:58.520 I think that he has a very impressive record with regards to his military service to Canada.
00:23:03.400 I wasn't really sure how conservative he was because I've never, he's never really struck me
00:23:07.000 as a sort of super conservative, brave person that's willing to not, not only hold conservative
00:23:12.680 convictions, which is sort of easy because they're sort of the, the natural convictions that you would
00:23:17.720 have, you know, trying to preserve this great country that we have, but have the, the, the,
00:23:23.080 strength and the character to stand up to a very corrupt establishment, the media, the bureaucracy,
00:23:29.640 you know, the liberal party, to stand up to them and say, no, no, you people are wrong. You don't
00:23:33.560 represent most of Canadians. You don't understand how most Canadians feel. This is, this is what we're
00:23:37.880 going to do. And having that resolve, that's, that's the tough part. And so if, if, if, if Aaron O'Toole is
00:23:43.640 successful in winning this leadership race by putting forth these really great conservative
00:23:47.880 positions and platforms, you know, I, I think, I think he would have a lot of support across the
00:23:53.800 country. And if he's willing to, again, continue to push back against the corrupt establishment,
00:23:58.600 I think that would go a long way. All right, guys, I'm going to leave it at that. Thank you so much
00:24:02.600 for lending me some of this time on this family day long weekend. Hope you are enjoying the time with
00:24:08.760 your family. Hope you are doing well, despite the fact that, again, our country doesn't really seem
00:24:15.080 to be functioning as a country. We don't have a leader. We don't have a prime minister who knows
00:24:19.800 what to do when a crisis is in front of him. He would much, much rather be off gallivanting. He was
00:24:25.160 supposed to be in Barbados today. He, he, he'd much rather be off bowing to despots of Iran,
00:24:32.200 turning a blind eye to actual anti-gay persecution, you know, for all the concern that he has when a
00:24:38.280 conservative won't even march in a pride parade. Where is that concern when you're standing up
00:24:42.680 next to a leader that actively persecutes gay people and actually bans it and has laws on the
00:24:47.960 books banning them? Where's, where's his courage then? Oh, right, he doesn't have any. He's off
00:24:52.360 talking about how much he admires China for being a despicable fascist dictatorship. Well,
00:24:57.880 that's Canada in 2020. So we have a long way to go, a long way to go. All right,
00:25:02.680 I will leave it at that. Thanks again, guys. Have an awesome day.
00:25:08.280 Thank you.
00:25:12.600 Bye-bye.
00:25:24.200 Bye-bye.
