Transcript

00:00:00.040 Hi everyone we are live this is Candace Malcolm with the Trenorth initiative coming to you live
00:00:06.440 this Tuesday afternoon lots going on in the news in the world there's sort of two main stories that
00:00:13.120 are kind of exploding simultaneously in the news right now there are huge rallies and protests and
00:00:20.700 just sort of ongoing public displays of dissatisfaction in Alberta folks are pretty fed up
00:00:27.840 with the situation there there's a little bit of panic about the price of crude oil and there's
00:00:33.540 a leaked story in the CBC about the Trudeau government investing in the problem of basically
00:00:41.160 what their programs are designed to do is continue it's like phase two continuing their phase out of
00:00:46.860 the oil industry in Canada so that's pretty distressing stuff the main story that I want to
00:00:53.700 talk about is these ridiculous year-end interviews that Trudeau is doing right now how he just totally
00:00:59.400 gets a pass from the mainstream media and particularly we'll talk about some of the
00:01:04.620 comments that he made about immigration supposedly fear-mongering that's going on and how he just sort
00:01:12.240 of passes the buck on to conservatives and blames it on them and then in the midst of all that the
00:01:18.060 mainstream media don't bat an eye they don't challenge him they don't combat any of the things that he's
00:01:21.840 saying that are completely fabricated and untrue they just sort of nod along and then dutifully
00:01:28.440 write up their news stories that echo exactly what Trudeau says and spread this ridiculous lie of a
00:01:35.160 narrative that somehow the conservatives are to blame for backlash against immigration so lots to
00:01:42.420 get through let me know where you guys are watching from I'm going to wait a few more minutes here while
00:01:48.460 people jump on Facebook and yeah let me know where you're watching from there is sort of the last
00:01:59.140 week before Christmas I guess next week will be pretty quiet we the trimmer initiative won't be in
00:02:04.000 the office so probably won't be doing lives these will be the last ones this week today and Friday I've
00:02:11.920 been going live regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays I heard back from lots of people saying that they
00:02:17.420 wanted to see more regular live videos so we've implemented that all right let's let's get going
00:02:24.400 here let's get going so yes I know there's lots going on Alberta I think I'll probably cover that in a
00:02:30.220 later live video what I want to talk about today is these ridiculous round of urine interviews that the
00:02:36.640 prime minister does you know they're kind of a mix between the sort of fluff like puff piece kind of fawning
00:02:43.540 media I goes on the morning shows and talks about his favorite topics including you know the color of his
00:02:52.020 socks and the type of shampoo that he uses we've seen this sort of charade over and over again of course it didn't
00:03:00.540 happen when Stephen Harper was prime minister you don't see someone like Doug Ford or Jason Kenny get
00:03:07.860 to do these kind of chummy idiotic interviews well Justin Trudeau he's like he's like one half celebrity
00:03:14.880 one half political leader the political leader part's not that important because he's hired other people
00:03:19.920 to do that job for him so he's sort of just as like personality that some Canadians adore although I'd argue
00:03:27.420 that he's probably more hated and despised than he is adored but here he is
00:03:32.800 I just saw Ryan Reynolds gin ad his sense of humor is just awesome I've met both of them Ryan Gosling is lovely and calm but Ryan Reynolds just makes me proud to be a Canadian
00:03:56.040 yeah career as a diplomat oh I should be a diplomat oh well that's kind of his job already he's a lead
00:04:04.860 representative of our country Canada and he gets asked a stupid idiotic question like that and he
00:04:10.860 doesn't just kind of like laugh it off he actually gives a thoughtful answer except for he can't get
00:04:16.560 through a sentence without just stumbling on his words and you know saying every second word it's just so
00:04:23.580 embarrassing you know he gets asked a stupid question like that and he can barely get through
00:04:27.180 an answer I mean who cares what the Prime Minister thinks about celebrities I don't care I don't I
00:04:33.840 don't I don't I can't fathom anyone sitting at home thinking like yeah that's exactly what I want to ask my
00:04:40.320 Prime Minister in the midst of all this turmoil you know Alberta Albertans are suffering the country is
00:04:46.440 divided there's just huge divides between you feuds between Quebec and Alberta we have these massive out of
00:04:52.680 controlled deficits we have a crisis of illegal immigration there's starting to be a huge backlash
00:04:58.560 in this country I'm going to get to that later in this talk but you know of all the things that are
00:05:03.240 happening in Canada from missing other things you know that they continue with this Trudeau government
00:05:08.940 and yet you get them on your show and the thing you choose to ask them about is talk about some
00:05:15.180 celebrities and then Trudeau just you know happily jumps in and talks about that it's pretty pathetic so
00:05:20.480 that's the range you know that that's sort of like the fluff sort of I don't know designed for
00:05:26.300 appealing to like teenage girls or stay at home moms or something like that although again I think stay
00:05:34.460 at home moms and teenage girls have more intelligence than that in Canada and then you know that there is
00:05:39.800 the other end where you have someone like Evan Solomon over at CTV who actually does you know press the
00:05:46.860 prime minister a little bit he's a tough interviewer he was tough against conservatives and he's tough against liberals
00:05:52.680 and so this is what happens when Trudeau does get pushed a little bit and you can just sort of see where he goes with this one
00:06:01.560 you're running 19 million dollar deficits now your fiscal capacity to deal with a rainy day
00:06:07.380 it's got to be worse actually that's not true for two reasons first of all the ratings agencies have
00:06:14.160 given us that triple-a because they are confident in our ability to withstand shocks in the future if
00:06:19.140 they come secondly when Canadians have better jobs when they have more education we have when we have solid
00:06:25.320 infrastructure maybe either climate change that's the choice we made to invest in our communities to
00:06:33.080 invest in our future and that's what's given Canadians confidence okay so the question was what do you do
00:06:39.420 how do you have a fiscal capacity in case there's some kind of crisis down the road to borrow more when
00:06:45.840 you're already racking up 20 billion dollar deficits when we have a fairly strong economy across the country that
00:06:52.140 was the question and then Trudeau rambles off some nonsense about how he's investing in climate change
00:06:57.780 and that's why Canadians have confidence in him but the question wasn't about whether or not Canadians
00:07:02.960 have confidence in them the question was whether we have the fiscal capacity to withstand a recession so
00:07:08.520 again you know that's the kind of stuff you have to push back the Prime Minister against his answer
00:07:15.060 is just sort of like actually no Evan you're wrong which is not really a good answer as kind of
00:07:20.340 condescending I think it's a lot of the reason why Canadians don't like the Prime Minister they think
00:07:24.540 he's arrogant and smug and those kind of answers don't help not only do you think he's arrogant
00:07:29.460 smug I think he's sort of intellectually a lightweight and doesn't really comprehend what he's doing in the
00:07:35.400 role of Prime Minister and again that echoes it when he's literally asked a question about deficits and
00:07:39.540 the fiscal capacity of the government to borrow more keep in mind that paying interest on the debt in
00:07:45.120 Canada is a third largest expense in the entire government and yet he that to the question of
00:07:52.080 how you're how you would potentially handle that his response is that Canada has Canadians have confidence
00:07:57.960 in him okay so that's pretty bad this is the worst one though I'm gonna show this one he is giving kind of a
00:08:08.240 year-end talk to a bunch of journalists so sitting and this is where he gets into the discussion that I
00:08:17.240 was talking about with immigration I'll pause a few times it's fairly long it's two minutes but I want
00:08:21.920 to get through the whole thing because it's really telling not only what he says but the fact that the
00:08:27.740 media give him a pass on this is really outrageous so I'll play it in bursts and I'll stop in between just
00:08:34.160 to break it up a little bit the decision that the Conservatives have taken recently to for example go
00:08:44.000 after the global compact on migration in a way that is deliberately and knowingly spreading falsehoods to
00:08:53.900 Canadians for okay let's talk right there so he says that the way that the Conservatives he this whole
00:09:01.040 thing is about how he thinks that the Conservatives are spreading falsehoods on immigration he said
00:09:07.100 that the way that they're deliberately picking on the UN compact on migration I saw everything that
00:09:12.680 the Conservatives put out and I think it was all fair comment and pretty accurate I know that the media
00:09:18.560 jumped all over conservative claims that that the UN compact undermined Canadian sovereignty I think
00:09:25.660 that that's a factual statement and it's totally fair to say keep in mind that when the liberal when
00:09:30.480 conservatives were in office and the liberals were in opposition they would constantly make these kind of
00:09:35.540 accusations anytime that Canada was signing a bilateral agreement with the United States anytime that there was
00:09:40.740 anything about increased national security increased cooperation and increased Intel like sharing of
00:09:46.660 information between Canadian and American officials the liberals were constantly crying foul and they would make
00:09:51.900 accusations like the fact that these agreements undermine Canadian sovereignty and Canada's ability to make its own
00:09:58.240 decisions and so you know when the shoes on the other foot and it's the liberals are in office and they're signing all these multilateral agreements with the United Nations and you know included among them these drastic new calls that aren't included in Canadian law the fact that now that Canada is a signatory
00:10:16.300 signatory to the UN compact that compact can be used in Canadian courts and immigration judges can cite it as part of the ruling say to overturn a decision made by the Canadian government I mean it's a pretty clear pathway I've explained this in depth and in previous videos you can check those out but it's pretty clear how the UN compact could potentially undermine Canadian sovereignty and I predict it will I will write reports and I'll put out a video the moment it happens I'm going to keep an eye on the court cases and and and how
00:10:46.280 you know judges may use you know judges may use this UN compact say I guarantee that this migrant compact will be cited by a judge in Canada in a decision to overturn a government decision say that we would potentially would have deported someone the judges saying they can stay based on this UN compact migration that's an example of our sovereignty being undermined because instead of the Canadian government getting to decide who comes to the country it would be an unelected
00:11:10.280 to judge using the precedent of this UN compact so that's all just to say that what Trudeau is saying here is not true and the media should pounce on it when he's saying that the conservatives are being dishonest they should say can you give an example what what specifically has the conservative said that is dishonest and then if he cites this UN compact and sovereignty argument which a lot of his government officials have cited that as example
00:11:40.280 himself said it in the House of Commons then you could push back well you know some experts do believe that the compact could undermine sovereignty like that's that's not a blatant falsehood that's a point of contention in your analysis of international law
00:11:54.280 so anyway Trudeau is just going on this spouting this nonsense and just as a side note notice the way that he's speaking he's kind of putting on his best like drama teacher performance here you can tell that he's kind of memorized the science this is what he talks like
00:12:10.360 um when he's not when he's kind of scripted when he's when he's asked a question he doesn't know the answer you see how he bumbles and he fumbles with his words he rambles he's incoherent
00:12:20.020 um this is a Trudeau that is like the polished um you know drama teacher Trudeau so let's keep playing
00:12:27.540 political game and to drum up anxiety around immigration is
00:12:35.260 well is irresponsible it's irresponsible it's not the way we should be
00:12:42.320 uh moving forward in a thoughtful way on one of the big issues that is you know is facing our country
00:12:50.000 should should we have conversations about what the right level of immigration is sure absolutely and
00:12:56.180 that's that's healthy and important are we doing the best possible job we can of ensuring that our
00:13:01.020 immigration system is being applied fairly and evenly and rigorously sure let's have those debates
00:13:07.320 but the fear it's funny that he says like sure let's have those debates because when we try to have those
00:13:12.720 debates when we bring up those issues Trudeau has the same line he still calls it fear-mongering
00:13:17.720 he still calls it you know despicable and all this stuff I know because I wrote a book on this topic
00:13:22.500 in 2016 and the liberal hate machine jumped on all over me and smeared me and said that my um analysis was
00:13:30.800 whatever xenophobic or whatever whatever they called me but it's like when you try to have a reasonable
00:13:37.420 logical fact-based conversation on stuff they call you a bigot and when you like make a big deal about
00:13:44.400 something and you you know cause it cause cause a scene or cause you know when you get excited about
00:13:52.280 something and you point to something and say no that's wrong we need to take a stand against it
00:13:56.500 they do the exact same reaction so it doesn't matter on the scale of whether you're like trying to come
00:14:00.880 at them as a reasonable like fact-based analysis or if you're going as an advocate or as an activist
00:14:07.400 and you're you know causing a big scene either way they're going to call you fear-mongering intolerance so
00:14:13.440 it's a little rich for the prime minister sit there and say yeah let's have a reasonable discussion
00:14:17.480 about the immigration levels when they wouldn't allow that they haven't allowed that they've jacked
00:14:22.200 the number of immigration of immigrants coming to Canada they haven't had an open debate when it came
00:14:27.620 to a lot of their really reckless changes that they made to citizenship letting people get their
00:14:32.900 citizenship earlier and faster without a lot of requirements cutting out a lot of the integration
00:14:38.060 stuff that the screening the security stuff when they did all that stuff they didn't want to have a
00:14:42.480 reasonable debate about it now looking back they're saying yeah we would have had a reasonable debate
00:14:46.520 about that but it's this stuff now that we can't have a reasonable debate about um it's just so
00:14:51.900 hypocritical okay let's let's keep them going here and the the the misinformation that is being
00:14:59.880 deliberately and knowing the misinformation okay the fear-mongering which by the way it's Trudeau that's
00:15:05.720 fear-mongering this is Trudeau fear-mongering against conservatives he's saying the conservatives are
00:15:09.680 evil and he's he's saying that they're fear-mongering but he's the one that's fear-mongering and the
00:15:15.740 deliberate misinformation give me an example give me one example of how conservatives are misleading
00:15:21.620 Canadians just just give me one example and to the media in the room I wish I was in the room as a
00:15:25.760 journalist I wish I was there and I wish the journalists in the room would have said can you
00:15:29.140 provide an example prime minister what are you talking about what what how are they misleading Canadians
00:15:33.920 provide an example instead of just making these blanket claims that you can't really tie to
00:15:38.900 anything and then again if he says well they said that it would undermine sovereignty then you could
00:15:43.820 point back and say well here's Ralph Goodale who is the liberal public safety minister back when he
00:15:49.580 was opposition accusing the conservatives of undermining Canadian sovereignty for signing an
00:15:53.840 agreement with the United States so how is that any different than this again no one holds this guy
00:15:58.880 accountable he just says he just says whatever he wants and the media not alone and then they write
00:16:04.940 stories about him as you'll see in Canadian press and the CBC that headline just echoes exactly what
00:16:11.000 Trudeau is saying and yeah they might have a line or two down later in the story about how the conservatives
00:16:15.740 contend what he's saying but overall it's the Trudeau show and the narrative and the media just happily go
00:16:23.060 along with that we put out by the Conservative Party right now it's very dangerous to something that
00:16:30.920 has been an extraordinary advantage and benefit for Canada for generations and I think one of the
00:16:37.940 things that I've always tried to demonstrate for Canadians is that okay I'm gonna get back to that
00:16:44.480 one he says that what the conservatives are doing right now is dangerous to this consensus in Canada we
00:16:48.680 have I'm gonna go back to that but I just want you to watch the end here what he says because it's really
00:16:53.000 weird he makes all of these accusations against conservatives and he says that they're fear-mongering
00:16:58.160 and that they're creating all these divisions and that they're lying without providing any examples and
00:17:02.180 then he kind of stops and then he makes this point which kind of contradicts everything else he said
00:17:07.640 we need to do a better job of having rigorous complicated discussions about how we're going to solve complex
00:17:20.840 problems yes you do instead of trying to wish them away with a clever slogan that points fingers and lays blame
00:17:32.780 that's literally what he just did without so so he's saying that we're not just gonna be able to fix this problem with a
00:17:39.080 simplistic thing that points fingers and lays blame somewhere else it's literally what he just did so what liberals and Trudeau himself are known for is coming up with these kind of simplistic
00:17:48.840 ideas instead of addressing the complex criticisms that are directed at them they'll just come up with a simplistic phrase like well yeah we should have more immigration because diversity is our strength and no who cares about the reckless
00:18:04.840 illegal immigration and the crisis that's following because if you agree if you disagree with our policy you're a bigot and you're un-canadian and so he's and then he's saying we need to do a better job of not just having these simplistic phrases and
00:18:18.820 but that's not something the conservatives do so that's just sort of his own incoherence in speaking and conflating different ideas and going from criticizing the conservatives to kind of oddly criticizing his own party and his own policies
00:18:34.820 but the one thing that I really want to pick up on here is that essentially what Trudeau is doing in that little soliloquy that he did in front of the media
00:18:45.820 is say look all the polls show polling over the last six months or so have shown a drastic decrease in approval rating of our immigration system as a whole
00:18:58.820 the Canadians so like I looked at all this data when I was writing true north losing true north my book from 2016 and basically going back like several decades
00:19:07.820 Canadian public opinion Canadians have had a higher approval rating of overall immigration than any other like country so if you compare Canada to the UK the US or Australia Canada's approval for immigration was always like 10 to 20 points higher
00:19:23.820 I'm going to find this data and put it out sometime over the next week and put it into a report because it's really interesting to look at and so Canadians overall had this like positive consensus around immigration and both the conservatives and liberal party
00:19:36.820 parties in Canada maintained a policy where we were going to have mass migration that we're going to welcome somewhere around 1% of our population every year and that was kind of taken for granted
00:19:49.820 and the point in making losing true north is that that requires such a delicate balance the reason that Canadians are pro immigration more so than Americans or Australians is because we recognize the economic value of it
00:20:01.820 but also because we have this very rigorous integration system that we require that people who move here become Canadian that they adopt Canadian values that they integrate into the community that they learn English and French
00:20:14.820 Canada is a country that is obsessed with language and learning one of the two languages is key towards successful immigration program overall and so Canadians were approved of this so long as these kind of basic tenants were met
00:20:30.820 and my concern with Trudeau when he came in and he had all these sweeping changes that they brought to the citizenship law he got rid of the citizenship guide section that warned newcomers not to bring their barbaric practices into Canada
00:20:43.820 and it was this whole controversial thing but he didn't Trudeau didn't want the welcome to Canada guide to mention that honor killings and female genital mutilation were banned in Canada so he took that part out he went and told the New York Times magazine that Canada had no core identity and core culture
00:20:59.820 then he boosted he jacked up immigration numbers he basically brought out the welcome wagon with illegal border crossers he didn't create any kind of system triage system to separate illegal from legal from real refugees to those who are simply economic migrants he just created a mess in so many different fronts and I really documented that in my book and things have only gotten worse in the last two years and so what you see over the last it had already started in 2015 and
00:21:29.800 to be fair but the numbers have just absolutely shifted so Angus Reid polls that came out over the summer found that Canadians overwhelmingly do not support immigration
00:21:36.800 they were the lowest approval ratings since pollsters started tracking public opinion in Canada in the 70s only 6% of Canadians wanted more immigration and a Pew research poll that just came out this week echoes that again that basically saying that Canadians no longer want more immigration and that's basically saying that Canadians no longer want more immigration and that's basically saying that Canadians no longer want more immigration and that's the
00:21:59.780 and increasingly Canadians are not happy with the immigration system as it is and I think it's pretty obvious why look at Justin Trudeau look what he's doing look what he's saying look at his approach his attitude anyone who criticizes the UN compact is a liar
00:22:06.780 that's basically what he just said you know if you know if you know if you know if you're if you're critical of his integration program his Syrian refugee program where he just created a complete artificial timeline and rushed 50,000 migrants into the country without proper screening
00:22:21.780 vetting integration programs integration programs I wrote numbers I wrote a number of stories in the Toronto sun just about all the various ways that that system was just completely broken from the inside how they skipped screening how they
00:22:50.780 how they skip integration programs that they normally do it was just a total mess and so you know you have all of these kind of failures that are happening and then increasingly you see stories within Canada of migrants not integrating migrants not being happy in Canada crime that the cultural crimes that come from some of the migrant communities like spousal abuse again horrific stuff like female genital mutilation and
00:23:19.780 honor killings Canadians see all this stuff and then we see our prime minister basically saying that the problem isn't with his policies the problem isn't with what he's doing and what he's done what he's saying well the problem is with the conservatives because they're pointing it out they're criticizing us and that's making Canadians not like our program that's fear-mongering
00:23:49.780 it's like you know Trudeau it's like you know Trudeau can't recognize what he's doing and you know in a functioning society it would probably be the role of the media to kind of push back against that and say well prime minister it's your policies it's you know you're the one that's taking the country in this direction instead of blaming the opposition for criticizing you you know why don't you blame yourself why don't you look at your own policies why don't you recognize
00:24:19.780 you keep it it's you know these attitudes we make that
00:24:46.900 immigration minister Ahmed Hussain tweeting and he's kind of going on the
00:24:54.100 same line that the Prime Minister was going on so here's his tweet from
00:24:58.480 yesterday it says where does it say conservatives will continue to spread
00:25:04.780 misinformation because it's always easier to pick on groups that are
00:25:08.440 vulnerable refugees and newcomers so Hussain's kind of he's kind of saying
00:25:14.200 that the reason that conservatives are pointing out the flaws in the liberal
00:25:18.520 immigration system is because they're big hits they just rather pick on
00:25:23.440 vulnerable people they're such bullies and they're such evil bad people that
00:25:27.640 when they're criticizing the Trudeau government's immigration policies which
00:25:31.720 are a horrible failure the reason the real reason that they're doing it is
00:25:35.860 because they just want to pick on vulnerable groups you know conservatives
00:25:39.220 just they just they sit at home thinking you know who are the most vulnerable
00:25:42.760 people in our society let's pick on them you know that's that's sort of his
00:25:48.580 mentality that's that's that's the crazy thing that's what liberals really think
00:25:52.780 about conservatives that were just these like evil or any people but anyway he
00:25:57.260 says this is a one of five attack he says Canadians have the right to ask
00:26:03.160 questions and have discussions on the facts here are some facts it's funny
00:26:08.260 Canadians have the right to ask questions and have discussions in the facts well
00:26:11.440 again that's kind of the opposite of the mentality of this government because
00:26:15.460 every time we as conservatives or as journalists ask questions or try to have
00:26:20.740 discussions we get called intolerant bigots by these same liberals so they want
00:26:25.520 to have discussion on the facts which they're their facts the facts that they
00:26:30.280 contend and they don't want to be questioned about it and if you do question
00:26:34.420 them then they'll call you on Canadian and they'll call you racist that's what they
00:26:38.120 were calling for government or now that they're calling that to Andrew Scheer and
00:26:43.520 the federal conservatives so Andrew Scheer had said fact 40,000 border crossers
00:26:49.100 since your tweet fact 1.6 billion in cost of taxpayers fact average wait time for
00:26:55.040 asylum claims a third up a third up to 20 months to dispute any of this it's
00:27:01.500 actually worse than that the 1.6 billion doesn't include all the costs on the PBO came
00:27:07.700 up with a report earlier this year that had 1.1 billion just in federal costs and
00:27:11.900 that's not including the provincial costs and we know the provinces bear the brunt
00:27:15.260 of the costs to migrants because they pay for all the social services all of the
00:27:21.700 social services a report came up predicting that we're estimating that's
00:27:26.600 about $50,000 per migrant and that falls in the provinces so it's actually even
00:27:31.540 more than that but other than that everything that Andrew Scheer is saying is true it's a fact
00:27:34.700 it's verifiable and so Hussain is sort of saying that those are not facts and then
00:27:43.100 he says fact for context there were 38,000 sound seekers that came in 2008 under
00:27:48.200 Harper government let me just make one small point on this fact and then he
00:27:53.300 says that the sound claims fluctuate and they're driven by global migration of
00:27:57.140 course that's true the interesting thing is that Harper the Harper
00:28:01.540 conservative government had a program that they implemented to fix the
00:28:06.580 asylum claim system so they created a triage system whereby when a newcomer
00:28:11.980 would land in Canada depending on what country they were coming from and what
00:28:16.120 like a global rating of like safety based not on like Canadian government but
00:28:21.040 based on a third-party analysis the person claiming asylum would get treatment
00:28:26.980 based on the country that they were coming from so right now you know we have all
00:28:30.460 these people coming over from the United States we have people coming from other
00:28:33.100 safe countries countries like Haiti that we lifted that we once had a safety
00:28:38.680 program for them and then we lifted it in 2015 so countries that Canada deemed safe
00:28:43.360 I would have a different program that they would follow compared to people that
00:28:48.520 came from like legitimate refugee producing countries like Afghanistan or China or
00:28:53.920 other places like that so the conservatives implemented this new program it was
00:28:58.240 pretty complicated and it was really interesting and it led to a huge drop in
00:29:03.280 migrants claiming asylum like as soon as this new system came in basically
00:29:07.420 migrants know okay jig is up you can't take advantage of Canada in the same way
00:29:11.380 it used to and you saw the numbers plummet and then when justin true was
00:29:16.480 elected came to office he got rid of that program and then we've seen the spike
00:29:20.320 again so for it's interesting you know has some points to 2008 which was at the
00:29:25.360 very beginning of Harper's time in government if he had pointed to one of
00:29:28.420 the later years to after 2012 2013 2014 you would have seen that the number of
00:29:33.340 asylum seekers was much much lower because of this triage program that the
00:29:38.260 conservative that the liberals scrapped and I wrote about this in my book as
00:29:42.400 well so again super dishonest for the immigration minister to say that
00:29:47.680 especially when he claims like this it's a fact it's a dishonest manipulation of
00:29:53.320 facts okay next husband says asylum seekers and those who are waiting to be
00:29:59.560 settled or different immigration streams yeah obviously no one's contesting that
00:30:03.640 the Harper government failed to invest in faster processing first home claims
00:30:08.500 we have invested in border services so you know I love this word invest that
00:30:14.080 liberals use it's like instead of just saying spending lots of money and throwing
00:30:17.620 money at a problem they call it investing well the conservatives fixed the
00:30:21.800 program so it was a lot better and had a lot more integrity and then the liberals
00:30:26.420 changed that and then they saw a huge influx of migrants and they didn't have
00:30:30.920 the capacity to deal with we didn't have enough immigration judges and that's why
00:30:34.240 there's been this huge backlog where migrants have claimed asylum and then they
00:30:38.120 have to wait two years to see a judge there aren't enough judges that's not a
00:30:41.960 Harper government problem that's a liberal government problem because they
00:30:45.260 got rid of the old system allowed the flood and now they're sitting there
00:30:49.220 saying well you didn't invest in faster processing well they didn't need it again
00:30:53.980 just totally dishonest and this is for someone who's claiming to have facts on
00:30:59.040 their side okay finally he says happy to debate fact based on facts but let's call
00:31:05.780 it baloney when we see it okay so that's all baloney I'll just call it all out you
00:31:10.520 saw a lot of conservatives jump in and criticized the cabinet minister the
00:31:15.540 liberal immigration minister for this Aaron O'Toole said that this is a very
00:31:21.040 misleading thread we support the asylum process when you put numbers from 2018
00:31:26.720 he's basically just saying that there's a difference between people who cross you
00:31:30.960 legally and then other people who do asylums this is from their own budget
00:31:37.780 apparently in 2017 the liberals did not provide any new funding to the IRB and
00:31:42.820 that's why wait times in the backlog or anywhere from 53 to 133 months by 2021 so
00:31:52.540 again just pointing out the ways in which the minister is not telling the truth and
00:31:57.680 this is my favorite tweet by Michelle Rumpel who's the immigration critic for the
00:32:02.200 conservatives and she's basically challenging him to a public debate so that
00:32:08.140 would be great I would pay money to watch that happen if they ever did there
00:32:14.500 should just be like a one-on-one debate Rumpel versus Hudson on immigration could do
00:32:19.540 it for a charity or something like that I think that would be really really good to
00:32:24.520 see maybe they can do a monk debate together or something like that but
00:32:29.640 Michelle Rumpel is basically challenging him to a debate pointing out every time you
00:32:35.720 appear to debate you're condescending and smug and you're defending the
00:32:41.180 indefendable or not so good for Michelle Rumpel good for the conservatives for
00:32:45.620 pointing out the liberal nonsense because you know this is the good thing about
00:32:49.940 Twitter for now there's a lot of bad things about Twitter but the good thing
00:32:53.360 about Twitter for now is that you can get through all the spin you don't have to
00:32:57.200 have things filtered through the evening news or through a biased CBC journalist or
00:33:01.940 biased CP journalist who is getting paid by the Trudeau government to write that
00:33:06.080 report you can just see the facts straight out as they are so when liberals
00:33:11.060 do this kind of game of spin spinning and twerking in line about the truth you have
00:33:16.160 conservatives calling them right out right there on the platform providing a
00:33:20.300 different perspective providing facts that disprove their theory and so you know
00:33:26.240 in theory that would be the role of the press in Canada unfortunately press is not
00:33:31.220 free the press is paid for by the federal government by the Trudeau government and
00:33:36.920 because of that it's just obviously a conflict of interest and we don't get the
00:33:42.500 full facts so there it is I'll leave it at that for today I think that you know
00:33:49.940 those year-end interviews are supposed to be two things both kind of like a
00:33:54.980 light-hearted look at the Prime Minister and within that light-hearted look we just
00:33:59.240 see that he's sort of this superficial uninteresting unintelligent man and then
00:34:04.940 on the other hand there's a sort of like top issues of the year the top stories
00:34:08.960 let's get in-depth and get a real look at the Prime Minister and from that we get
00:34:13.340 rambling incoherence and just blatant pre-election spin and lies and
00:34:19.520 unfortunately the media are either too stupid or too in the bag for Trudeau to call
00:34:25.640 him out on this you know there are obvious exceptions and I point out that
00:34:29.480 I thought Evan Solomon did a good job interviewing them there and pushing him
00:34:33.440 which you know the premise is pushed you just get rambling incoherent sentences
00:34:38.060 that don't really relate to the question that you've asked but at least they try
00:34:42.840 and I think that the more that we see of this Prime Minister the more we feel
00:34:47.960 embarrassed by him hopefully the more Canadians see the real person that's
00:34:52.340 leading the government and you know it's such a shame you can tell they the
00:34:59.240 reason that they go to insults the reasons that they accuse it conservatives
00:35:02.840 of fear-mongering and accuse them of being divisive is because they want to
00:35:06.740 distract away from their own failed policy and it is the Trudeau government
00:35:10.460 is Justin Trudeau's failed immigration policy that is leading to the backlash
00:35:14.780 the anti-immigration backlash is not the conservatives it is not you know it's not
00:35:20.420 activists it's not other journalists not people like me it's not people like Andrew
00:35:25.600 Scheer it is Trudeau and his own reckless policies that are driving the backlash
00:35:29.840 he's only got himself to blame he's trying to deflect to blame media or to
00:35:34.520 blame the conservatives instead but it's not their fault it's his fault and it's
00:35:39.180 he's only got his very bad policies to blame so again I'll leave it at that
