00:00:43.600 things our prime minister said that year including some of my favorite stupid things that he has said 0.99
00:00:48.080 over the years trudeau's quotes shed light into the kind of person he is vain self-centered image 1.00
00:00:54.640 obsessed narcissistic uninformed ignorant painfully progressive woke far left and so on now interestingly 0.92
00:01:02.640 our legacy media seems totally uninterested in trudeau's past quotes they sort of ignore them 0.97
00:01:08.080 or gloss over them they never really covered them or put them under the microscope to begin with which
00:01:12.720 is part of the reason why we have justin trudeau as our prime minister well the book did really well
00:01:17.520 it sold a lot of copies and every year people ask me when the next volume will be released well every 0.58
00:01:23.280 year we keep track of the stupid things that justin trudeau said that year and we release an article 0.87
00:01:28.080 every year called the top stupid things trudeau says so without further ado here is the 2023 countdown 0.99
00:01:35.040 list for the stupidest things that canadian politicians and yes that includes justin trudeau 0.99
00:01:39.760 he dominates this list that they said this year so let's jump right into it so number 10 trudeau says 0.98
00:01:44.960 that canada protects freedom of expression this just happened on november 21st so in the wake of a
00:01:51.200 rise of really unprecedented and horrific anti-semitic attacks and incitements in canada against our
00:01:58.320 jewish brothers and sisters justin trudeau steps in and proudly protects freedom of expression saying
00:02:04.400 that these people can pretty much just say and do whatever they want here is that clip the people
00:02:08.320 are forgetting a little bit that we're a country that protects the freedom of expression that protects
00:02:14.560 uh liberty of conscience that that that respects and supports people even when we disagree with them
00:02:22.880 uh across various points of view that has been one of the strengths of canada for our entire existence
00:02:28.880 we're a place that does diversity better than just about anywhere else isn't it interesting how canada
00:02:33.120 protects free speech when it comes to radical islamists and people who support terrorism uh when it comes to the
00:02:39.600 truckers and people who are critical of his government independent news uh justin trudeau's
00:02:44.400 love and admiration for freedom of expression seems to disappear and number nine justin trudeau says
00:02:49.920 that trans women are women trans women of course are not women trans women are men who
00:02:54.720 dress up like women pretend to be women and sometimes try to get access to female spaces they're 1.00
00:03:00.160 not women but according to our prime minister yes they are there's no difference they're exactly the 1.00
00:03:04.800 same as real women next on a similar topic number eight justin trudeau calls canadian parents who are
00:03:10.560 worried about trans ideology he calls them hateful and then just a few days later he claims that he
00:03:16.160 never did that on september 20th says let's make one thing clear transphobia homophobia and biphobia
00:03:22.480 never heard of that one they have no place in this country we strongly condemn hate and then just a
00:03:26.960 few days later on october 5th justin trudeau claimed that he never said that people who were worried
00:03:32.560 about parental rights were filled with hate or intolerance well sorry prime minister justin trudeau
00:03:37.440 we have them both on tape so here is that clip of justin trudeau trying to contradict the first clip
00:03:43.600 that we just showed you and i never suggested that someone who's concerned about parental rights is
00:03:50.160 somehow filled with hate or intolerance right number seven again on a similar topic prime minister
00:03:55.280 justin trudeau lectures concerned parents on gender ideology claiming that it is misinformation
00:04:02.480 and disinformation fueled by the american right wing we know that justin trudeau really really hates
00:04:08.240 republicans he hates conservatives and anything that he doesn't agree with he just writes off as
00:04:13.440 misinformation and disinformation probably a conspiracy theory or something like that so here is
00:04:18.720 what this quote looked like
00:04:23.840 protect our beliefs our culture as well the same that you are doing for them so this is where we're
00:04:29.680 coming from i know and i i've heard this concern many many times and i know that it is a very real
00:04:35.360 issue first of all there is an awful lot of misinformation and disinformation people on social media
00:04:43.440 particularly so could you weave that all together he's trying to say that conservatives hate muslims
00:04:50.640 but then muslims are also against the indoctrination of children so he's trying to tell the muslims to
00:04:55.680 stay with him and the liberals and then it's really the right the christian right and the americans that
00:05:00.080 are to blame okay prime minister let's move on let's let's give justin trudeau a little bit of a break
00:05:04.960 let's move on to a different politician here we have liberal mp and justin trudeau's caucus his name is
00:05:11.040 ryan turnbull and he went on a bit of a deranged tirade on social media claiming that opposition
00:05:17.520 leader pier poliev would fail a security clearance so this is what he wrote on x he said why won't
00:05:24.880 poliev get security clearance either he prefers to remain ignorant of the facts so he can continue to
00:05:30.880 mislead or he has a red flag in his background which would have him fail to gain security clearance
00:05:36.560 causing him embarrassment so this is all total speculation so much so that x actually slapped
00:05:43.040 a community note this is one of the best features that has happened since elon musk took over the
00:05:48.000 platform is that we now have these little real-time fact checks where users can claim that something's
00:05:53.120 false and if enough of them claim that it is they slap on this real-time warning to viewers so the
00:05:58.320 context is added here it says pier poliev leader of his majesty's loyal opposition canada has already
00:06:04.080 undergone a series of background checks as a former cabinet minister in harper's government
00:06:09.120 he was also sworn into the king's privy council for canada as a member yeah so there's pretty much
00:06:14.320 no truth to this it was just total nonsense made up by a liberal mp talk about misinformation and
00:06:19.200 disinformation likewise another mp makes a list here's number five liberal mp also in justin trudeau's
00:06:25.360 caucus ken hardy blames pier poliev for a shooting in winnipeg the shooting appeared to be
00:06:32.000 drug related it happened in a very bad neighborhood in winnipeg but almost right away
00:06:37.200 again a liberal mp jumps online to just post pure speculation and total nonsense this is what ken
00:06:43.120 hardy says he says beyond troubling to see another mass shooting in canada now in winnipeg we've lost
00:06:48.400 so many police officers might it be the anti-social burn everything down far-right attitude we're seeing
00:06:54.080 creeping in from the u.s and the creep on the canadian side pier poliev so this is just kind of funny
00:06:59.840 again these liberals are really obsessed with the american right and the republicans and trying
00:07:04.800 to insert it into canadian politics uh the whole idea that the far right has a burn it down attitude
00:07:11.040 that's pretty ironic given that it is the far left that like to burn everything down in canada
00:07:15.920 remember when the far left burnt down 83 churches in canada and the head of the bc civil liberties
00:07:21.120 association literally posted online burn it all down yeah i would say that that is a problem on the left
00:07:26.880 not so much the right in canada well remarkably this liberal mp doubled down on his insane connection
00:07:34.400 that somehow a conservative politician in canada is responsible for a drug shooting in winnipeg and
00:07:40.800 it's all because of the far right attitude from the u.s okay so here is a clip of this liberal mp who's
00:07:46.800 still in caucus still part of justin trudeau's liberal caucus uh he is doubling down on that see he just
00:07:52.560 says that he's trying to plant the seed he's he's trying to plant the seed so that reasonable people
00:07:57.920 will think about it so basically he's admitting that he's just trying to push propaganda and total
00:08:02.240 nonsense and the media just shrug and let him get away with it here's that clip no no i do not no the
00:08:08.880 the intention there was to plant the seed and to really mark out the fact that mr poliev is engaging in
00:08:14.400 very dangerous behavior uh you know behavior that is uh is is toxic right across the country
00:08:21.360 i did not make any connection between him and the event in winnipeg except to say that he's creating
00:08:27.600 an environment through his toxicity where some people are going to give themselves permission to do
00:08:33.520 anti-social things so no i don't regret that at all i planted the seed reasonable people will think about
00:08:39.360 that i what i'm saying is is that it's the environment that the conservative leader is
00:08:45.920 creating through his consistent misrepresentations and the use of the big lie technique that environment
00:08:54.000 leads to a rise in all kinds of things that are just simply not good for our society now yes the
00:09:00.160 winnipeg one totally different thing mr poliev like any reasonable person would have had nothing
00:09:05.120 directly to do with that but it's the environment that's being created by the politics that he
00:09:10.400 practices that's what we really have to be concerned about all right moving on number four
00:09:15.120 look we don't discriminate here on the candace malcolm show and we hold all politicians who say 0.98
00:09:19.440 stupid things to account so number four on our list is pierre poliev for calling christine 0.95
00:09:24.480 anderson racist hateful and vile this was back in february 2023 so christine anderson who is a german 0.97
00:09:31.520 politician who has really become well known for her criticisms her pointed criticisms of justin trudeau
00:09:37.760 during her time in canada she gave many speeches she held many meetings and here she is photographed
00:09:42.000 with some conservative mps including leslin lewis who ran for leaders she was also uh spotted there
00:09:48.080 with maxime bernier while pierre poliev didn't like it and he decided to sort of take a page from
00:09:53.040 justin trudeau's books he said christine anderson's views are vile and have no place in our politics the 1.00
00:09:58.080 mps were not aware of the visiting member of the european parliament's opinions and they regret
00:10:02.560 meeting with her frankly we better have anderson never visited canada in the first place she and
00:10:07.200 her racist hateful views are not welcome here well again that sort of sounds a little bit like 1.00
00:10:12.320 justin trudeau and cancel culture saying that someone is racist and therefore they're not allowed
00:10:17.200 look i probably don't agree with everything that christine anderson says but that doesn't mean that
00:10:20.960 she doesn't have a right to be here she's clearly speaking for her people she's raising some very
00:10:25.360 good points about the problem of mass immigration without integration and it doesn't really help
00:10:30.240 when we have conservative politicians acting and sounding a lot like liberal ones all right moving
00:10:35.440 on let's go down to number three back to justin trudeau well this one goes to both prime minister
00:10:40.080 justin trudeau and his super serious super smart foreign affairs minister melanie jolie and their various
00:10:46.960 positions when it comes to israel's this one probably takes a cake justin trudeau on november 14th told
00:10:53.520 israel to quote stop killing babies here's that clip the world is witnessing this the killing of
00:11:03.360 women and children of babies this has to stop killing of women and children and of babies has to stop 0.98
00:11:16.000 this of course led to a number of international media headlines is interesting this was a reuters story
00:11:20.800 was picked up by news agencies all over the world except for canada they didn't really cover it so
00:11:25.440 much they like treating justin trudeau with kid gloves but of course this promotes the blood libel
00:11:29.600 that jews just try to murder babies and that israel is entirely to blame and palestinians are innocent 1.00
00:11:36.080 well justin trudeau's position on israel has been back and forth and questionable but i think his 0.84
00:11:40.640 foreign affairs minister melanie jolie really takes a cake on some of her clips and quotes when it comes to 0.50
00:11:46.320 this war so back on october 12th when we were just worried about canadians trapped in a war zone and
00:11:51.360 whether they could get out whether the embassy was actually open over canadian thanksgiving weekend
00:11:55.520 uh melanie jolie just sort of brushed it all off and she said look i'm a very busy woman and i can't
00:12:00.400 always be uh found i can't it's not my responsibility to worry about all this stuff here's what that clip
00:12:05.040 looked like i'm working 24 7 on this meanwhile there's so many issues happening in the world and
00:12:10.640 trying to address all of these but my goal right now is to make sure that this assisted departure
00:12:17.200 is well done next on november 10th melanie jolie said that she wants hamas yes hamas at the negotiating
00:12:23.600 table she said she looks forward to a negotiating table where israelis hamas and qatar are all present
00:12:29.920 at a moderator and this leads us to one of the silliest comments that we've seen so far melanie jolie
00:12:35.760 says that a two-state solution is more feasible since the grotesque gruesome october 7th terrorist
00:12:42.320 attacks yes more more likely to get a new state because you know the international community just
00:12:47.440 loves to reward brutal vicious terrorists for sadistic killings of families in their homes here
00:12:53.520 she was on december 17th talking to vashi capellos over at ctv saying that palestines are probably gonna
00:12:59.760 get their own state because of all this the possibility of it though after what has occurred over the last
00:13:05.280 two months is diminished even relative to where it was prior to the start prior to hamas's initial
00:13:11.040 attack you know what vashi i think the contrary really i think i think because this this conflict
00:13:18.000 is so difficult for israel so difficult for the palestinians so difficult for the world not only in
00:13:25.600 canada because we've seen the rise of anti-semitism the rise of it islamophobia and just the rise of
00:13:31.120 tension but that's the case here that's the case in europe that's the case south of our border that's
00:13:37.840 the case in arab countries we are in amidst an international security crisis so we need to take
00:13:44.080 a chance on peace next number two on our list prime minister justin trudeau says that he has always been
00:13:49.440 fiscally responsible yes always been fiscally responsible the man who ran an election of running
00:13:54.320 modest deficits only to balloon into the largest deficits in canadian history racking up more than
00:14:00.080 1.2 trillion dollars in debt the growth of debt per day according to the canadian taxpayers federation
00:14:06.080 is more than 100 million dollars per day your personal share of federal debt is now up over 30
00:14:12.160 000 but no no justin trudeau has always been fiscally responsible here's that clip we're going to
00:14:17.520 continue to step up with investments in housing in affordability in supporting stronger communities
00:14:23.840 while we fight against increasing impacts of extreme weather events due to climate change
00:14:29.120 and we're going to do it in a fiscally responsible way because we have been so fiscally responsible over
00:14:36.240 the past years we have room to respond if there is no more to do we have the lowest deficit in the g7
00:14:43.840 the best debt to gdp ratio in the g7 the international bond rating agencies have confirmed canada's
00:14:51.600 triple a rating we're the third largest economy in the world with a triple a rating after the us
00:14:58.880 and germany so we will continue to be there with a responsible plan to invest in canadians while the
00:15:07.360 conservatives continue to propose cuts in services and programs as a way of of creating growth which
00:15:15.440 makes absolutely no sense we're going to keep investing in housing in supporting families in
00:15:22.640 building a better future while we fight climate change now speaking of fiscally responsible justin
00:15:27.040 trudeau also said that canadians should use a credit card to pay for large purchases yes if you're
00:15:32.400 going back to school if you want to go into debt to build a new home or to expand on your home just just
00:15:37.200 throw it on your credit card that's the fiscally responsible thing to do here's justin trudeau
00:15:41.280 talking in a town hall in monckton new brunswick back in april so yes you know you know if you're
00:15:49.200 used you used your credit card the first time you're using your credit card to invest in a huge flat screen
00:15:56.480 tv home theater system for your basement okay you know that's going to be something you're going to be
00:16:00.800 paying off for for a while but if you use your credit card to go back to school or if you use your
00:16:06.720 credit card uh you you go into debt to build an expansion on your house that you're then going
00:16:12.080 to be able to sell your house for more if you're making investments that are going to return that
00:16:17.520 is how you grow a strong economy because quite frankly confident economies invest in themselves
00:16:24.160 and that's exactly what canada has done and that's why canada is looking so good for the future
00:16:29.360 and our fiscal path is responsible restrained and is going to leave people with more opportunities
00:16:36.880 not burden in the coming years so yeah i don't recommend taking financial advice from our prime
00:16:42.720 minister from the man who is driving canadians fiscal future into the ground the man who under his watch
00:16:50.800 nobody can afford a home home prices are out of control grocery prices out of control gas prices out
00:16:55.120 of control but don't worry everybody justin trudeau says that he is fiscally responsible okay and it's 0.98
00:17:02.240 time it's time drum roll please it's time for the top stupid thing a politician said in 2023 this would 0.95
00:17:09.120 go back to justin trudeau when he claimed back in april that he never forced anybody to get vaccinated 0.99
00:17:16.000 no no no you must be misremembering the past you must be misremembering history justin trudeau
00:17:21.120 would have never ever told anyone to get vaccinated that's just not what he was doing here is justin
00:17:26.640 trudeau trying to make this claim my responsibility was to keep as many canadians alive as possible
00:17:35.760 and all of the scientists and the medical experts and the researchers not just in canada but around the
00:17:43.360 world understood that vaccination was going to be the way through this and therefore while not forcing
00:17:52.480 anyone to get vaccinated i chose to make sure that all the incentives and all the protections were there
00:18:01.360 to encourage canadians to get vaccinated and that's exactly what they did we got vaccinated to a higher
00:18:06.640 level than just about any other of our peer countries and that's why we had a less deadly
00:18:12.240 pandemic than most other countries now i see a lot of people nodding along with that
00:18:19.840 but boy oh boy you know the comments section on the live stream right now is exploding with people who
00:18:25.840 are in deep deep disagreement which it was just incentives folks it wasn't coercion it wasn't as if you
00:18:33.280 would lose your job and lose your livelihood and not be able to travel not be able to get on a train
00:18:38.160 or a plane without getting the shot no no no it was just it was just a series of incentives and
00:18:43.440 justin trudeau presided over a free country must be nice to just simply get to revise the past rewrite
00:18:48.960 the past and to have many canadians nodding along saying oh yeah that's right justin trudeau would never
00:18:53.680 do something uh so vicious so tyrannical as forcing people to get a shot that they didn't want to get well 1.00
00:19:01.120 there you have it folks canadian politicians really are very very stupid and we shouldn't give them 0.99
00:19:06.480 as much power as they have that's our list that's all for us thank you so much for tuning in i'm 1.00
00:19:10.320 kandace malcolm and this is the kandace malcolm show
