Trump calls Trudeau two-faced because he is trying to negotiate a better deal for Alberta. And it's Thursday and we'll do fake news of the week, where we'll tell you all about it. We're back in Toronto, and we're covering the aftermath of the Trudeau-Trump press conference.
Transcript
00:00:03.360
The provinces negotiate a better deal for Alberta.
00:00:08.340
showing the extent of human suffering in that province.
00:00:11.280
And it's Thursday, so we'll do fake news of the week
00:00:15.380
I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:25.480
We were in Alberta last week doing lots of filming,
00:00:28.640
We have lots of footage, lots of interviews from that trip,
00:00:38.380
not just in Canada, but everyone around the world,
00:00:45.460
and the sort of fallout that has happened since then.
00:00:48.800
So the world leaders are in London, England this week
00:00:52.020
and Trudeau and Trump held a joint press conference.
00:00:56.860
Donald Trump does something that Canadian journalists just fail to do.
00:01:12.120
and forcing Trudeau to actually make a claim that's not true.
00:01:15.120
So let's just play that clip so you can see what it was I'm talking about.
00:01:20.920
The number we talk about is 70% increase over these past years,
00:01:28.620
including significant investments in our fighter jets,
00:01:35.600
We are increasing significantly our defense spending
00:01:50.600
So what they're talking about here is that every NATO member
00:01:53.860
has committed to spending 2% of its GDP on defense spending.
00:01:59.240
And Canada is just a routine sort of bad actor when it comes to this.
00:02:04.120
We don't actually invest in securing and building up our military.
00:02:10.340
who overcompensates in protecting most of the world,
00:02:13.100
but especially us in North America and with Canada.
00:02:16.160
So, you know, Trump, this is kind of a long time running.
00:02:18.120
He's putting pressure on other NATO countries and to some success.
00:02:22.060
He's convinced countries like Germany to up their defense spending
00:02:28.980
And he does the thing, the typical thing that he does
00:02:31.860
So, you know, Trump says, what are you spending?
00:02:34.220
And then Trudeau says, oh, well, the number we like to say
00:02:41.860
And you notice that he doesn't even provide the answer.
00:02:44.560
He has to ask a staffer to give him the number.
00:02:47.520
And the number that they gave isn't even correct, folks.
00:02:56.340
Canada spent 1.27% of its GDP on defense spending.
00:03:02.760
which the government did because they ruled in military pensions
00:03:10.500
that's a huge increase that the 1% or the either 1.3% or 0.9%
00:03:15.760
that Trudeau inflated the number when talking to Trump
00:03:18.360
is a difference of either 1.5 billion or 2.15 billion.
00:03:22.700
So just by being an effective leader and putting pressure on Trudeau,
00:03:27.040
Trump managed to perhaps have Trudeau admit to spending
00:03:34.520
Canada should, by the way, invest more in defense spending
00:03:37.920
and in our military, but it's not going to happen under a liberal.
00:03:41.740
And then after that meeting, Trudeau was clearly embarrassed.
00:03:47.800
So Trudeau is seen talking to other world leaders,
00:04:01.600
He's, first of all, complaining that Trump was 40 minutes late
00:04:06.860
That's a bizarre thing for a leader of a democratic country to complain about,
00:04:12.200
He was so willing to take questions that it ran 40 minutes late,
00:04:14.760
something that Trudeau would never do because Trudeau couldn't handle,
00:04:17.540
Trudeau doesn't have the capability to do that kind of thing
00:04:20.580
with the media and answer questions for 40 minutes.
00:04:22.480
And then something about how Trump's staff's jaws dropped over something that Trump said.
00:04:30.040
but what is clear is that Trudeau's being kind of a jerk here.
00:04:33.700
You know, when he was sitting next to Trump, he was trying to play nice.
00:04:38.120
He was listening to what Trump said and trying to impress Trump
00:04:41.180
by inflating the number that Canada's spending.
00:04:43.460
And then as soon as Trump's gone, Trudeau acts like the tough guy,
00:04:46.660
you know, gossiping and talking badly about Trump.
00:04:49.640
Well, Trump was having none of it, so the next morning when Trump was sitting down
00:04:56.380
He directly addressed it and he called Justin Trudeau two-faced.
00:05:00.420
Well, of course, Justin Trudeau is two-faced because we saw two different Justin Trudeaus.
00:05:03.660
We saw a meek, uncomfortable, subservient, subordinate Trudeau when he was sitting next to Trump.
00:05:09.060
And then when he's playing with the other world leaders, he, you know,
00:05:11.840
was this sort of arrogant, mean-spirited jock that was making fun of someone behind their back.
00:05:17.840
So, you know, I think Trudeau got what he deserved.
00:05:21.880
I actually think that this is something that might be good for Trudeau.
00:05:24.300
Trudeau loves the tension between him and Trump in the media.
00:05:31.040
So when they see Justin Trudeau standing up to him, they see it as a good thing.
00:05:37.100
It shows the character of Justin Trudeau, just how immature he is.
00:05:43.840
Trump is the powerful person in this situation.
00:05:45.960
He's the player that Trudeau needs to learn to get along with.
00:05:49.760
So just kind of a cringeworthy, embarrassing week for Canada on the world stage.
00:05:55.240
So the Council of Federation meeting happened this week.
00:05:57.240
It kind of got overshadowed by this whole Trudeau-Trump thing.
00:06:00.580
But the premiers, 10 premiers and three territory leaders all met in Mississauga, Ontario on Monday
00:06:07.040
to basically, they called an emergency meeting after the federal election.
00:06:11.320
The federal election was so devastating for national unity.
00:06:15.120
You know, you have the rise of the bloc in Quebec, no liberal MPs elected in Alberta or Saskatchewan
00:06:22.300
So the premiers decided to call a meeting together without the prime minister, without the federal government
00:06:28.980
They didn't get into issues that they don't agree on, but they wanted to have this sort of consensus.
00:06:34.160
There was a unanimous decision to call on the federal government to change what was called
00:06:39.300
the Fiscal Stabilization Program to change the cap.
00:06:43.080
This is sort of a complicated program, but basically the Fiscal Stabilization Program
00:06:47.300
is a federal program that enables the federal government to provide financial assistance
00:06:51.840
to any province faced with a year-over-year decline in its non-resource revenues greater than 5%.
00:06:58.720
It's good news for Alberta because we know that Alberta is slumping right now, having a hard time
00:07:02.580
with their economy, and the fact that they still have this large fiscal burden is completely unfair.
00:07:09.400
That's still something that does need to get negotiated, but again, that was too contentious
00:07:14.380
They agreed on a couple other things, increased health care transfers.
00:07:17.280
They want to agree that the provinces can opt out of the new federal PharmaCare program
00:07:22.020
that's being announced that it's supposed to be rolled out any time.
00:07:25.540
And they all agreed to push the federal government for improvements on environmental assessments
00:07:30.340
on large natural resource projects, specifically, is Bill C-69, the very controversial anti-pipeline
00:07:37.180
measure that was introduced by the federal government.
00:07:43.740
If you haven't checked it out already, I sat down with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney over
00:07:49.220
We talked about all kinds of things, from the Fair Deal plan that his province's, his government
00:07:53.680
is proposing, to immigration and some of the major accomplishments he had when he was
00:07:58.740
the immigration minister, as well as the disappointment he has with the rise of illegal immigration
00:08:08.120
Now, as we were packing up and leaving our bags to leave Alberta and come back to Toronto,
00:08:13.560
we got tragic news, really, really tragic news.
00:08:16.360
An individual on Monday afternoon, just after 3 p.m., walked up to the steps of the legislature
00:08:21.200
building in Edmonton, and he took his own life.
00:08:27.220
He was a military veteran, and he shot and killed himself right as the members of the
00:08:33.620
legislature assembly were in the middle of a debate.
00:08:36.200
So they adjourned the legislature because of this.
00:08:39.840
And really, this just rings home the suffering that's happening in Alberta.
00:08:44.080
Part of the reason that we were out there in Alberta is because True North is putting
00:08:47.400
together a documentary showcasing what's happening just to individuals, to people in Alberta and
00:08:55.680
And one of the things that we learned just through talking to people through our interviews
00:09:04.960
When you lose your job, you lose your home, there becomes sort of tension on the family.
00:09:09.540
There's an increase in divorce, increase in homelessness, all these kind of social problems that don't
00:09:18.180
You know, I think this is probably the most underreported story in Canada right now.
00:09:21.960
You hear a lot about the politics, a lot of mudslinging, a lot of name-calling.
00:09:26.700
But what people in the rest of the country might not realize about Alberta is just how hard it is for
00:09:33.180
You know, record high unemployment rate, all kinds of issues, all kinds of problems there.
00:09:38.400
And, you know, you never want to hear something like this.
00:09:47.640
There's a University of Calgary public policy study that found that for every increase in
00:09:52.060
the unemployment rate, it led to about 16 more suicides in the province of Alberta.
00:09:56.720
So I think this should really be a wake-up call to politicians across Canada, not just in
00:10:02.500
Alberta, but really that the issue in Alberta is bad and we should all do better.
00:10:10.200
It's Thursday, so we have a couple of segments to get through.
00:10:20.560
Bob is the Member of Parliament for Hamilton East Stony Creek.
00:10:24.380
And he's the former mayor of the city of Hamilton, Ontario.
00:10:31.260
This is like the latest iteration of political correctness, I guess.
00:10:34.400
He says, wishing you a great month of December.
00:10:38.660
So, you know, you can't say Merry Christmas anymore.
00:10:43.220
But you can't even say Happy Holidays apparently now.
00:10:46.100
So we're just wishing people a great month of December.
00:10:48.940
We wish you a Merry December and a Happy January.
00:10:54.900
And again, you know, the left and the political correctness brigade are just trying to assault
00:11:00.180
our language and eliminate words and make it so that we can't say things.
00:11:05.700
And this is just sort of, you know, that times a thousand.
00:11:14.940
This one's a tie because, I mean, there's just so many things to choose from.
00:11:22.180
So the first one comes from Susan Delacorte over at the Toronto Star.
00:11:30.600
It's about time world leaders made fun of Donald Trump.
00:11:34.520
And the actual print edition has the headline, laughing matter.
00:11:41.900
I talked to Anthony Fury on National Post Radio yesterday, and I said this is going to be good
00:11:46.020
for Trudeau because the left is going to rally behind him.
00:11:48.880
Well, you know, right on cue, here's Susan Delacorte basically saying, good for Trudeau.
00:11:57.100
Completely, you know, ignorant to the fact that Trump is a very powerful person, that
00:12:02.300
we're still finalizing NAFTA, that, you know, we're talking about NATO commitments and Canada's
00:12:10.200
And yet here we are celebrating our prime minister for getting into a public riff with
00:12:20.940
And of course, when you get $115,000 per week from the federal government, you're expected
00:12:26.220
to defend Justin Trudeau, even when he does something incredibly stupid, which is what
00:12:31.800
Now, I said this was a tie because Rosemary Barton over at the CBC also gives Delacorte
00:12:41.700
Rosemary Barton is supposed to be a straight news reporter.
1.00
00:12:47.120
She is not supposed to be someone who chimes in and gives her opinion.
00:12:58.180
She's writing an analysis now in the CBC where she basically says that Andrew Scheer needs
00:13:04.940
Some people in the Conservative Party are defending Andrew Scheer, saying that, hey, look back at
00:13:08.780
2004, the Stephen Harper government reduced the liberals to a minority.
00:13:12.840
And then two years later, they had their own government, and they governed for nearly 10
00:13:18.040
Well, Rosemary Barton steps in and says no.
0.99
00:13:21.340
She says, yes, there are similarities between Harper then and Scheer now.
00:13:27.260
So she basically just gives her opinion, telling people that those who are defending Andrew Scheer
00:13:33.300
And she talks about how Andrew Scheer is no Stephen Harper.
00:13:37.040
So, again, I don't know why a CBC host, news host, and debate moderator is giving her
00:13:46.900
And because it's Thursday, we have Ask Me Anything, which is a segment where we allow
00:13:50.920
club members, people who are part of one of TNC.news' clubs, one of Trinorth's clubs,
00:14:00.900
We got a few to get through, so let's get to it.
00:14:07.980
I frequently hear that most Canadians strongly disapprove of Donald Trump.
00:14:13.820
Could it be that there are quite a few closet Trump supporters up here in the great white
00:14:22.040
I bet they love, myself included, someone whose stated goal is to make Canada great again.
00:14:28.500
I think that's a good question because, again, the mainstream media is so biased and we know
00:14:32.240
that they absolutely have Trump derangement syndrome.
00:14:36.840
Well, I looked into it and there's a couple of different ways to look at it.
00:14:40.120
So an Angus Reid poll found that 42% of conservatives support Trump versus 35% of conservatives who
00:14:48.300
Meanwhile, 17% of Canadians believe Trump will win a second term, which according to 67% of
00:14:53.500
Canadians will most definitely not be good for Canada.
1.00
00:14:56.840
But you can see among conservatives, so, you know, whatever, 35% of Canadians voted for
00:15:03.560
If you just talk about like conservative, you know, the base, people who consider themselves
00:15:08.860
conservatives, you know, that's still probably 10% of the country, which is what, three and
00:15:14.120
If you have 42% of those who support Trump, you're still talking about a couple of million,
00:15:18.540
maybe, you know, one and a half million Canadians who support Trump.
00:15:22.760
And according to an Abacus Reid poll, that one found that if Canadians could vote in the
00:15:29.160
election, eight in 10 would choose a Democrat over the Republican, which would presume that
00:15:34.480
two in 10 would choose a Republican or maybe they're undecided.
00:15:38.460
There was also a National Post study that found that Canadians deeply disliked Donald Trump,
00:15:44.100
but they prefer him to Trudeau on two main issues, which were the economy and national security
00:15:50.860
So, you know, I think you're right that there are some closet Canadians who support Trump.
00:15:55.480
And, you know, even if the mainstream media doesn't represent that, I believe that there
00:15:58.560
probably are about a million or so Canadians that support Donald Trump.
00:16:10.880
I've read mainly international articles on the plate of Christians in other Islamic countries.
00:16:15.640
And I've read and listened to Douglas Murray on Europe's migrant situation, in particular,
00:16:19.640
of the issues in Austria, France, Sweden, UK, Germany.
00:16:23.060
My question is, how do we educate our politicians and the public on the 1400-year history of jihad
00:16:28.900
and the entryism of the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada, the incompatibility of Islam, and
00:16:34.800
the West in this climate of political correctness?
00:16:38.840
Well, you know, this is kind of a—it's an interesting question.
00:16:44.460
I had an e-book called Creeping Caliphate that goes through some of my concerns when
00:16:47.920
it comes to not just jihad as like a violent source of kind of warmongering, but also Islamicism,
00:16:58.420
And I think that we do need to raise the alarm bell.
00:17:01.260
I think that Douglas Murray's Strange Death of Europe is a must-read.
00:17:04.620
I think that people should pick up my book Creeping Caliphate.
00:17:07.080
I think there's an important distinction to be made, though, between Muslims and the sort
00:17:13.620
A lot of people who are in Canada have fled Islamist regimes.
00:17:19.100
And they've come to Canada because they want to live in pluralism.
00:17:23.100
And it's really important that we don't conflate the two.
00:17:26.160
Because while we should be concerned about Islamism and that political ideology, we shouldn't
1.00
00:17:32.180
take it out on peaceful Muslims who just want to be part of the Canadian community.
0.98
00:17:36.120
All right, next question comes from Will Vincent.
00:17:40.200
Is anyone able to create a message board, website, or app for Canadian conservatives,
00:17:44.400
a website outside of social media that allows people to log on and post and share media to
00:17:54.600
One of the issues is that, you know, the mainstream media is biased.
00:18:00.520
Most of the journalists are probably card-carrying liberals or if not NDP.
00:18:05.060
So there isn't a good source for conservatives to sort of find their news and to engage in
00:18:14.120
You know, there's always opportunities for that.
00:18:16.780
I think that there have been a couple of news aggregator sites that have been created to
00:18:23.540
National News Watch is a sort of liberal-run website where they post lots and lots of news
00:18:28.840
And there should be a conservative alternative.
00:18:31.980
Unfortunately, every time they try to set one up, it fails.
00:18:34.700
Hey, that's one of the reasons that we created TNC.news.
00:18:37.240
We wanted a hub for conservatives to understand the news, to have their stories reflected in
00:18:42.980
And so, you know, that's what we're trying to build.
00:18:45.340
I know that there's some other people out there that are also trying to, you know, create
00:18:51.080
And, well, let's just see what the market provides for.
00:18:57.240
It is so very frustrating watching shows like Power Play, Power and Politics in the West
00:19:01.340
Bloc while the hosts are interviewing politicians.
00:19:03.740
I really can't remember when just one of them actually gave an answer.
00:19:07.740
Before the election, during and after it just doesn't seem to matter.
00:19:11.100
The politicians are accountable to us, Canadian citizens.
00:19:13.640
So why not just do your job instead of the repetitious talking points that on numerous
00:19:18.580
occasions have nothing to do with the question asked?
00:19:21.260
When Evan Solomon says his usual, let's go get some answers at the start of his show,
00:19:25.360
he must really know that's not going to happen.
00:19:27.960
When is it going to be possible for independent media like True North, The Rebel and others
00:19:31.520
to be able to interview politicians from the bottom of the food chain right up to the
00:19:35.740
Prime Minister and they will be forced to answer with honesty?
00:19:38.900
The mainstream media sure doesn't seem to be able to.
00:19:44.040
I had the opportunity to sit down with Premier Kenney.
00:19:45.940
I didn't feel like he was obfuscating my questions.
00:19:48.900
I felt like he was actually answering them, which was refreshing.
00:19:59.080
They just, you know, they pretend that the question that was asked was a different question
00:20:03.040
so they can just mouth off their talking points.
00:20:05.160
And it really undermines the discourse and the debate in our country.
00:20:10.580
And I think that, you know, journalists have to do a better job pushing politicians to answer.
00:20:16.240
Politicians themselves have to realize that people like authenticity.
00:20:19.920
People like the fact that, you know, you can just talk to them without seeming like you're
00:20:27.360
I think that's part of the reason why Donald Trump is so popular.
00:20:29.300
And I wish that there were more politicians in Canada that would just, you know, say it
00:20:34.620
as it is instead of sounding like robots, giving rehearsed talking points.
00:20:39.400
Okay, this will be the last one because there's quite a few here.
00:20:47.800
You're likely not into Alberta politics, as sometimes calling on talk radio in defense
00:20:52.340
And he recently is bombarded with ongoing anti-conservative bashing by most of the left-footing radio hosts
00:20:57.700
who do their best to twist and turn people against Kenney as they do to Ford.
00:21:01.840
In the notly government, she had so many hiring blitzes where, with the stroke of a pen,
0.88
00:21:07.620
hiring many thousands of unionized public sector workers to solidify her base, mostly in Edmonton.
00:21:12.840
Hence, we saw the province's divide in Edmonton, where she did all the hiring, all voting NDP,
00:21:19.840
The rest of the province is pretty much recession voting, almost all blue.
00:21:23.660
My question is, and I've tried to find out, how many public sector workers did she hire
0.96
00:21:32.060
Okay, this is a great question, and I thank you for it because it made me go and do the
00:21:36.080
research and find out exactly what has happened.
00:21:39.920
Since the economic downturn began in 2014, public sector employment in Alberta has risen
00:21:44.920
by 21.5% based on a study from the Fraser Institute based on Statistics Canada figures.
00:21:52.900
According to the Fraser Institute, almost 79,000 additional public sector jobs have been added
00:21:58.880
in Alberta by the provincial federal municipal government in the last four years.
00:22:02.940
Meanwhile, our province is still just short over 46,000 private sector jobs from 2014 levels.
00:22:12.760
The fact that the government sector in Alberta has grown by nearly 80,000 jobs over the same
00:22:19.040
four-year period where the economy shed 46,000 public jobs.
00:22:29.360
There's so many companies fleeing the province, which means that there's a smaller and smaller
00:22:32.760
tax base, regardless of what's happening with the price of oil.
00:22:36.120
And yet, the government just massively grew under Rachel Notley.
00:22:39.380
So Jason Kenney introduces some measures to just rein that in and kind of keep things
00:22:45.600
And the left absolutely loses their mind and twists and turns what Kenney's doing.
00:22:49.620
When I was out there in Alberta, there were ads everywhere talking about how Kenney was
00:22:52.920
cutting 750 nursing positions, a statistic that's not even technically true, and yet hold that
00:22:59.840
up against the fact that 79,000 public sector employers, government employees, were added during
00:23:08.940
So that's a great question, and we should keep that in mind.
00:23:11.660
Keep things in perspective in Alberta when you hear about job cuts.
