00:00:00.000 The woke left is winning the culture war here in Canada and the people being punished the most
00:00:04.920 are kids. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:12.480 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. Now you know on The Candice Malcolm Show we like to
00:00:15.940 talk about culture, not just politics. You know the main focus of True North and the main focus
00:00:20.020 of The Candice Malcolm Show is usually federal politics but there are so many other aspects of
00:00:24.920 our society that are just as important and that have a huge impact on politics and one of those
00:00:29.320 is culture. We talk about the culture war a lot. We talk about the ideology of the woke left. They
00:00:34.540 demand intellectual conformity. Everybody must think the exact same thoughts or you get cancelled.
00:00:40.740 You can't even be part of the conversation unless you agree that Canada is a racist, historically,
00:00:47.240 systemically racist, genocidal state. If you don't believe and accept those terms then you can't even
00:00:53.560 be part of the conversation. We see this sort of steamrolling of their opposition wherever they go
00:00:58.720 and they have crept into every aspect of our society. It's not just the Trudeau government
00:01:03.040 although it's certainly prevalent there but it's prevalent across corporate Canada. You see so many
00:01:07.320 people getting removed from their corporate positions because of something that they've said
00:01:11.340 or even something that they've liked on Twitter. We see this now throughout sports as well. The NHL,
00:01:16.580 NFL, NBA, they've all gone woke. We see this in universities. Universities are the worst offenders.
00:01:22.600 They were the first ones to do it and they've exported it all throughout society. We still see it there.
00:01:26.680 We see this in schools, elementary schools, high schools, school districts across the country and
00:01:32.420 again one of the other worst offenders. Universities are the worst. The other is certainly the legacy
00:01:36.940 media, the mainstream media. We see how again they push this idea. We saw Evan Solomon in that interview
00:01:42.180 with Jean Chrétien basically trying to force the former prime minister to say that residential schools
00:01:47.620 weren't about education. They were about committing genocide and trying to again push that ideology.
00:01:53.080 So we talk a lot about this divisive, reductive, despicable ideology that is the woke left but what
00:02:00.280 we don't talk a lot about on the show is how it impacts children, how it impacts kids and so I'd
00:02:05.300 like to go in and talk about that today. First though if you enjoy the Candace Malcolm show and you like

00:02:36.860 miss an episode. Okay I have a lot of examples, I have a lot of data points here that I'd like to
00:02:41.940 get through so I'm going to go through them fairly quickly. So first things first, the reason that I
00:02:45.840 wanted to cover this topic, the thing that sparked this idea to cover this today was that I got a tip
00:02:52.080 from a viewer, somebody forwarded me an email that had been sent to their children's school. So this
00:02:57.220 is an email that was sent to a school in the Ottawa area and again it is about the woke left pushing
00:03:03.380 their ideology, this time in the form of cultural appropriation. So we're told that if you're Canadian,
00:03:08.760 if you're of European ancestry, if you look like me, you are not allowed to dress up in other
00:03:14.140 cultures because that is offensive, that's cultural appropriation and it is wrong. And so here we get
00:03:19.740 the hectoring message from the school, from the principal to the parents, reminding them that it
00:03:24.360 is not okay to dress up like another culture on Halloween. So it says this, with Halloween just a
00:03:29.760 few days away, parents and guardians are searching for the perfect Halloween costume for their children.
00:03:34.080 As tempting as it may be to dress our children in what they would like to be, it is important to
00:03:38.040 consider a more thoughtful approach about whether the costume is culturally sensitive and appropriate.
00:03:42.800 According to the Cambridge dictionary, cultural appropriation is the act of taking or using
00:03:47.980 things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand
00:03:52.160 or respect the culture. Halloween is a fun event and with some creativity and imagination,
00:03:57.540 parents can help their children with deciding on a costume that aligns with a culturally sensitive
00:04:02.360 Halloween. Being proactive can help all of us to avoid uncomfortable situations at school
00:04:07.680 and in our community and can help us ensure that Halloween is a fun event where students feel
00:04:12.380 safe and honored. So according to the school, Halloween isn't about fun. It isn't about kids
00:04:17.640 feeling scared and getting excited about trick-or-treating and all the decorations. It isn't
00:04:21.920 about creativity and using your imagination. It isn't even about the kids. Halloween is about
00:04:27.100 feeling safe and feeling honored. I don't even really want to get into the whole argument behind
00:04:33.280 cultural appropriation because it's just so stupid. The entire history of all of the world is a
00:04:38.160 history of trade, of collaboration, sometimes of war, usually of war, but in the modern day,
00:04:43.760 certainly collaboration, trade, freedom of movement, and just the entire concept of a
00:04:49.060 globalized world. And so this idea that somehow certain cultures are carved out and belong to some
00:04:54.020 people and therefore you can't dress up as them is just stupid. It's wrong. It takes the fun and
00:04:59.340 takes the joy out of Halloween. I will make a small note though when reading this letter. All I could
00:05:05.420 think of is Justin Trudeau, our embarrassing prime minister, dressing up in blackface over and over
00:05:10.140 and over again, not just as a student in his own high school, although there is a picture of him as
00:05:14.520 a student in his own high school in blackface, but then again as a teacher, as a teacher, an almost 30
00:05:19.440 year old teacher, a grown man wearing blackface in a school yearbook. So that whole line about wanting
00:05:24.840 to avoid uncomfortable situations at school in our community, that's sort of a nod to how Justin
00:05:30.520 Trudeau just made the whole country cringe, made everyone cringe. Even at the time, even when he
00:05:35.460 was a teacher in the late nineties, wearing blackface, everyone knew it was wrong. And you can
00:05:39.940 see the expression on people's face in the background, kind of looking like, what, what is
00:05:44.660 that guy doing? What is wrong with Justin Trudeau? Why would he do that? So a little bit of humor
00:05:49.520 there. Justin Trudeau should take the advice, I guess, of the woke mob, but really Halloween is a time
00:05:55.260 to dress up and have fun. And the last thing we want is the left trying to take fun away. But, but
00:06:00.920 this is totally a theme throughout Canada. Wherever we go, wherever we look, we see school boards and
00:06:05.560 schools trying to cancel Halloween, trying to take the fun out of childhood. So this is according to
00:06:10.320 City News, the Waterloo Region District School Board tries to cancel Halloween. No Halloween celebration
00:06:16.700 at these schools this year. Don't expect ghouls, ghosts, or goblins at any school in Waterloo this
00:06:22.040 Halloween. The school board has decided to scrap Halloween plans for 2021 in an effort to make
00:06:27.360 schools more inclusive. The superintendent of student achievement said this, those include
00:06:33.920 cultural reasons, socioeconomic reasons, and personal reasons. And we are trying to really focus on
00:06:39.540 fostering a sense of inclusion in our school, which means we must respect the decisions of those who
00:06:44.420 choose not to participate. And those who cannot participate in these kinds of activities, we have to
00:06:49.920 recognize Halloween in itself is not essential for learning and Halloween this year doesn't fall on
00:06:55.940 a school day. So he says that the pandemic has given them an opportunity to examine their normal
00:07:01.620 routine and whether it serves all children in the same way. So here you go, unless an activity serves
00:07:08.920 all children in the exact same way, in other words, unless we have complete conformity, complete communism,
00:07:14.820 the exact same outcome and quality of outcome, then it's not even worth doing something like this.
00:07:20.100 They say that the idea is not inclusive enough and that's it. No more Halloween. Forget about the
00:07:25.880 whole idea. Forget about the whole history, all the traditions. It doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't
00:07:29.860 fit in with the left's ideology and therefore they're just simply not having it. There is so much more.
00:07:35.720 Now this is something of a theme. So in Ontario, even the places that are allowing Halloween
00:07:40.640 are putting strict requirements and harsh rules onto those kids who are trying to have fun and enjoy
00:07:46.780 Halloween. So according to officials in the Ontario government, it says that children are not allowed
00:07:52.540 to yell, trick or treat, or sing, or be closer than one meter to other kids on Halloween while trick
00:07:58.400 or treating. Again, trying to just completely take all the fun out of this holiday and again, just
00:08:04.280 punishing children for the sake of punishing children because the activities that they like don't conform
00:08:09.940 with our ideology. Here's another one from CBC News Kids. Can kids go trick or treating this year?
00:08:16.140 Tips for a safe Halloween. So here it says public health authorities are saying that costume masks,
00:08:20.780 the masks that come with your costumes, don't count as medical masks. So if you're going to go out
00:08:25.000 trick or treating, even if you're wearing a mask, you should wear another medical mask underneath it,
00:08:29.960 even though you're outside, even though you're going from door to door, even though your interactions
00:08:33.520 with other people are usually really brief on Halloween and all the statistics that we know about
00:08:37.920 COVID shows that you can track COVID from being next to someone for a longer period of time, 10, 15 minutes,
00:08:44.000 not just a brief interaction, not outside, not while you're socially distancing, not where you're already
00:08:49.660 having face protection, even if it's not a medical mask. Regardless, the health authorities want to have
00:08:55.220 their fingers in every aspect of our lives, and that includes Halloween. So they're doing everything that they
00:08:59.780 can to ensure that kids just simply do not have fun. And of course, we know that these rules don't
00:09:06.360 simply apply on Halloween. Yes, the health authorities and the left mob and the left bullies
00:09:12.360 in schools are going into overtime right now to try to ensure that kids don't have fun on Halloween.
00:09:17.120 But these kind of measures exist every single day. It's not just a Halloween thing, even though
00:09:21.640 we see the sort of authoritarian impulse really come out at a time like Halloween, where people just
00:09:27.120 don't want anyone to have fun. They want complete control of kids' lives. But this does exist
00:09:33.280 every day. So I'm going to go through some of the things that are happening in elementary schools.
00:09:37.060 But first, I want to talk a little bit about the risk of COVID to little kids, because we see so
00:09:42.600 many measures in schools. We see this whole idea that kids now have to wear masks starting in
00:09:47.240 kindergarten, the idea that they're pushing forced vaccinations now for little kids, the idea of
00:09:52.400 socially distancing. We even see these ridiculous cubicles where kids have plexiglass between them.
00:09:58.200 Just stop for a minute and try to imagine what this is doing to little kids today. Growing up,
00:10:03.420 kids, little kids like my son, who's just learning how to communicate. And the idea that he would
00:10:07.920 have to wear a mask at school completely hinders his ability to communicate. Remember that when
00:10:12.520 you're little and you're learning to talk, you're learning to communicate. So much of communication
00:10:15.920 is nonverbal. And so the fact that he can't see another child's face and another child can't see
00:10:21.120 his face, the teacher can't see his face. Imagining the kind of damage that that does to a child
00:10:26.140 and their ability to develop, not to mention a child who has a learning disability or a
00:10:32.060 developmental disability, what kind of an impact that will do. It's truly, truly just despicable
00:10:37.480 to see them try to impose these kind of measures, force masks, social distancing to little kids
00:10:43.200 trying to learn. But before I get into some of the crazy rules that we see out there, I just want to
00:10:48.740 pause for a minute and talk about the actual risk to kids. Now, first, I'm going to show this clip
00:10:54.240 from the Joe Rogan experience. So Joe Rogan had the CNN health expert, Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the show.
00:11:00.520 Now, first of all, just props to Dr. Sanjay for actually showing up and doing this interview.
00:11:04.740 He's the chief medical correspondent over at CNN. He's become famous throughout this pandemic,
00:11:09.500 but he's also said a lot of really crazy controversial things. So props for him for
00:11:13.680 going and having this conversation with Joe Rogan. But let me just say that the conversation didn't go
00:11:18.580 very well for Dr. Sanjay. There were so many instances where Joe Rogan, now Joe Rogan is,
00:11:23.900 you know, a layman. He's not an expert. He's not a doctor. He's not a scientist. And yet he still
00:11:29.660 basically has Dr. Sanjay Gupta's number. He gets him on a number of points. And that's why so many
00:11:34.600 of these clips are going viral. But one of the clips that really stood out to me was this clip
00:11:38.880 of Joe Rogan talking about the threat and the risk to kids with COVID, comparing that to the risk
00:11:45.300 of a fully vaccinated adult, an adult that has had double vaccination, what the risks are of COVID
00:11:50.920 for a double vaccinated adult versus the risk of a totally unvaccinated child. So let's play this
00:11:57.160 clip. Don't you think that even with a breakthrough infection, untreated, you're probably more vulnerable
00:12:02.980 than the average child who is not vaccinated, who gets COVID? Like people have died who are double
00:12:10.300 vaccinated. In fact, there was a guy who just won an Emmy who's... Yeah, I saw that.
00:12:13.780 The odds of that happening to a healthy child are very, very low. Very low. But that guy is
00:12:19.400 probably your age. How old are you? I'm 51. Yeah, he's about your age. Theoretically,
00:12:24.120 you would be more vulnerable than a young child would be. You vaccinated would be more vulnerable
00:12:29.580 of a breakthrough infection than a young child would be, statistically speaking, right? But you're
00:12:35.180 not worried about... They're both rare. But you're not worried about catching it. You're not worried
00:12:39.740 about catching it because you've been vaccinated and you think it imparts a certain amount of protection.
00:12:43.620 What I'm saying to you is I think that not worry is the same feeling that a lot of people have about
00:12:49.100 their children. They're not worried about their healthy children catching it for the same reason
00:12:53.680 you're not worried about catching it being vaccinated. That if treated correctly, they think
00:12:58.920 that the child probably has a better chance even than you do because you're 51 years old.
00:13:05.500 I think... Is that... I mean, they're both... That seems reasonable, right? Well, I think it's... I don't... I know the
00:13:13.260 story about this 53-year-old guy. But you see what I'm saying? Like, with your attitude that you're not worried
00:13:16.900 about catching it because you've been vaccinated and you're a healthy guy. That is the exact same
00:13:22.920 feeling that people have about vaccinating their children. If they have healthy children and they know that
00:13:28.360 statistically speaking, there's so few children that have died from COVID.
00:13:32.640 Mm-hmm. Well, yeah. There are. It's like, I think, 500 or so children have died from...
00:13:36.700 Out of millions and millions and millions of kids.
00:13:38.740 That probably have been exposed.
00:13:40.060 Yeah.
00:13:40.360 And... But, you know, it's... Again, part of it is not defining this in terms of life and death.
00:13:45.640 I think it's...
00:13:46.760 But do you understand my point?
00:13:48.100 Well, are you suggesting I get boosted?
00:13:50.200 I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is your attitude about not being concerned because you have antibodies,
00:13:57.120 and you think you would get through it even if you had a breakthrough infection.
00:14:00.660 That is the exact same attitude that a lot of young people have where they don't want to get a shot
00:14:06.380 because they're worried about the consequences, even though they're incredibly small...
00:14:10.320 Consequences of the vaccine.
00:14:11.320 ...of the vaccine. Incredibly small. But the VAERS report, they do have deaths.
00:14:16.820 So again, just great point there by Joe Rogan. It got me thinking about the numbers in Canada.
00:14:21.560 You heard in that clip how Joe Rogan talked about how a couple of hundred kids had died of COVID in the U.S.
00:14:26.880 So I wanted to see what the numbers were like in Canada.
00:14:29.680 And it is truly shocking. These numbers will shock you.
00:14:32.720 You don't hear about this a lot in the media.
00:14:34.640 And again, if you were to ask the everyday Canadian, average Canadian out there,
00:14:38.320 what they thought about the number of people who had died,
00:14:40.720 given the extreme measures that we are seeing in schools,
00:14:44.240 I guarantee that they would guess a number a lot higher.
00:14:47.040 So first I'll just say that according to this data, Stats Canada,
00:14:50.240 which takes all the data from the various health authorities and compiles it together.
00:14:53.920 So the age group that has had the most number of cases, the highest case number for COVID,
00:14:59.440 are those under the age of 20.
00:15:01.360 19 and younger have accounted for 20.7% of all COVID cases in Canada.
00:15:07.280 There's been nearly 350,000 positive cases of COVID, 348,407 positive cases.
00:15:15.200 So the group that has had COVID the most has also had the lowest deaths from COVID.
00:15:21.120 So according again, to these official data from Health Canada,
00:15:24.800 of those 350,000 cases of the 28,800 people in Canada who have died of COVID,
00:15:30.640 the number of people who have died of COVID under the age of 20 is 17.
00:15:36.000 Not 17,000, not 1700, 17 deaths.
00:15:40.080 So this makes up 0.1% of all COVID deaths.
00:15:43.840 And therefore the death rate of anyone dying from COVID under the age of 20 is 0.002%, 0.002%.
00:15:56.000 So in other words, this isn't the biggest risk for kids under 20.
00:15:59.760 In fact, it isn't even in the top 10 biggest risks for deaths.
00:16:03.680 Again, 17 people have died of COVID under the age of 20.
00:16:07.520 When you look at just something else, suicide and self-harm,
00:16:10.240 the number of deaths from suicide and self-harm in a given year in Canada is somewhere in the 30s.
00:16:15.200 It was 36 in 2008, 32 in 2019.
00:16:19.600 And again, this isn't the annual rate of people who have died of COVID, this 17 figure.
00:16:24.160 This is in the life of COVID.
00:16:25.760 And again, we're into year two, we're almost at the two-year mark of COVID.
00:16:30.400 And we have seen 17 deaths.
00:16:32.640 Compare that to 115 annual deaths from cancer, 125 on average deaths from accidental deaths
00:16:39.440 or injuries.
00:16:40.560 And then you have 17 deaths for COVID.
00:16:43.520 The number of kids that die from heart disease, liver disease, and pneumonia is approximately the
00:16:49.120 same in a year as die from COVID.
00:16:52.560 And one more thing to keep in mind, another caveat.
00:16:54.640 We remember in that story that came out last week about the 14-year-old boy in Alberta who sadly died
00:17:00.960 of a stage four brain tumor, brain cancer.
00:17:04.560 He was included in the COVID health counts.
00:17:06.560 We saw the media plaster how Alberta had had its youngest COVID case until his family came out and
00:17:12.000 said, no, this is fake news.
00:17:13.280 This isn't true.
00:17:14.320 Our brother sadly died of cancer.
00:17:16.480 It had nothing to do with COVID.
00:17:17.920 We knew that he was dying.
00:17:18.960 We knew that he was going to die.
00:17:20.400 They happened to test him two days before his death, and it came out positive.
00:17:24.000 But COVID in no way contributed to his death.
00:17:26.960 And then Dr. Dina Hinshaw, the top doctor in Alberta, came out, apologized, walked it back,
00:17:32.320 and basically said that they were going to start doing reviews now on kids that were dying of COVID,
00:17:37.920 and they weren't just going to automatically include them in the count.
00:17:40.560 So that even makes you wonder, of the 17, how many other cases were sort of like that,
00:17:45.920 where someone died of something else, they happened to contract COVID on their deathbed,
00:17:50.800 and they were considered a COVID count.
00:17:53.440 I mean, really, we're trying to dig into these numbers right now at True North.
00:17:57.680 We have a bunch of requests out trying to understand exactly the circumstances of these 17 deaths.
00:18:03.280 But either way that you look at it, the chances of a child dying from COVID are incredibly low,
00:18:09.040 incredibly low, even if they get COVID, which a lot of kids do get COVID, they don't die of it,
00:18:13.840 they don't have the same, it doesn't impact them the same way as it impacts elderly people.
00:18:18.240 So you have to pause and think about why are we putting in all of these ridiculous measures
00:18:23.440 that really hinder a child's development, their ability to learn, their ability to just be free
00:18:29.680 and enjoy their youth and enjoy their childhood and interact with their friends,
00:18:33.520 and all of these things that we took for granted, I took for granted when I was growing up,
00:18:38.080 aren't necessarily available to children today. And as a society, we're just sort of letting it
00:18:42.800 happen. We're letting the woke left steamroll our institutions steamroll our schools and letting
00:18:48.240 them implement these insane measures on kids. And it is just absolutely wrong and it needs to stop.
00:18:55.040 So I've got a couple more examples here of school boards just being absolutely insane and ridiculous
00:19:01.040 when it comes to little kids and these rules. So this is a story over at truenorthtnc.news.
00:19:07.760 Ottawa trustee wants mandatory vaccines for students and online classes for the unvaccinated. So an
00:19:14.080 Ottawa Carleton district school board trustee, look at a picture of this lady. She's exactly what she
00:19:18.960 looks like. She is pushing for mandatory vaccinations for all eligible students and to corral unvaccinated
00:19:26.080 kids into virtual schools. Trustee Lyra Evans, who looks like a woke gender studies major,
00:19:32.240 she is seeking to implement the mandate beginning September 30th, 2021. The motion states that students
00:19:38.640 over the age of 12 will be required to partially vaccinate against the COVID-19 virus or provide
00:19:44.160 proof of medical exemption as of the 30th and be fully vaccinated by the 20th of November to continue
00:19:50.880 to be allowed in-person classes. Any student who's not vaccinated against COVID virus after the state
00:19:56.800 will be re-enrolled in a virtual school. A month prior, the same trustee was behind a push to force
00:20:03.120 masking on all kindergarten students. So forced vaccinations for little kids who have a very,
00:20:08.320 very small risk of dying from COVID and masks for kindergarten students according to this unhinged
00:20:15.120 lunatic who we have empowered to make decisions over our children. It is absolutely
00:20:20.720 outrageous. The next thing that we are seeing are these desk shields now being sold on several
00:20:26.160 different online marketplaces, including Amazon. Pictures show them used in classrooms around the
00:20:31.760 world. So far, there isn't any guidance from Canadian schools about mandating these desk shields,
00:20:36.640 but let me just tell you, it's coming. It's coming. We're seeing it all over the place. Just look at
00:20:41.360 this. Can you imagine trying to learn an environment where you're basically forced into a cage?
00:20:46.080 This is just truly perverted. Next, we see the Toronto District School Board stops kids from
00:20:51.280 talking in schools to prevent the spread of COVID. This was over at CTV News. Toronto students told
00:20:57.440 not to speak during lunch to reduce the spread of COVID-19. CTV article is a collection of parents
00:21:03.440 coming forward to say that they are disgusted with this directive from the Toronto District School
00:21:07.760 Board and saying that it is wrong. A spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board confirmed the
00:21:13.360 directive saying that it is based on the advice of Toronto Public Health. We have required lunches
00:21:18.480 to be brief and quiet. By keeping talking to a minimum while eating, while masks are off,
00:21:23.520 we are reducing the possibility of spread of COVID-19. And a teacher who requested to remain anonymous
00:21:30.560 defends this action by saying that kids just shouldn't tell their parents about the crazy things
00:21:34.800 that teachers are making them do at school, basically saying that kids essentially shouldn't be
00:21:39.920 telling their parents what goes on because parents will have a negative reaction. COVID spreads a lot
00:21:46.240 around kids, but it doesn't really make them very sick. In theory, the idea of putting in all these
00:21:51.200 measures is to protect the teachers, protect the administrators, because kids can contract COVID and
00:21:56.800 it doesn't really impact them very much. They don't really get sick. They don't need to go to the hospital
00:22:00.160 and very, very, very, very few of them die. 0.002% of them die. So 17 out of 350,000. So very,
00:22:08.400 very, very small percentage of them die. So the whole idea presumably behind all these measures
00:22:13.600 is that even though the kids could get COVID and don't get sick, what they don't want happening
00:22:18.480 is them passing it on to the teachers who may get sick or family members of those kids if the kids
00:22:24.080 take it home. But then just stop for a second and realize that the whole point behind vaccination
00:22:30.160 is that as a society, we're all inoculated from it. So the people who are vulnerable, the people
00:22:34.880 like the parents, like the teachers who could get sick, well, they have the choice to get vaccinated
00:22:39.840 and therefore they're not really at risk anymore. Just go back to that Joe Rogan example where the
00:22:43.760 CNN health expert had to admit just that, that children are at a lower risk of dying from COVID
00:22:49.600 than a fully vaccinated adult. And so you have to stop and wonder then, why are we taking all of
00:22:54.800 these measures? If teachers already have the choice of getting vaccinated, if parents already have the
00:22:58.880 choice of getting vaccinated, and if kids don't really get sick from COVID and very, very, very few
00:23:03.600 of them die, why are we taking all of these measures against kids at school? Well, it's a simple answer.
00:23:09.360 It's about control. It's about conformity. It's about the left wanting the power. They got a taste of the
00:23:14.400 power during COVID. They loved having that control, that power, that those decisions,
00:23:19.280 the ability to just really let their authoritarian impulse out. And because they enjoyed it so much,
00:23:25.120 they don't want to let it go. And so they are continuing to focus it. And it is our children
00:23:29.840 who are bearing the brunt of it, who are forced to endure the most pain. It is absolutely unacceptable.
