00:00:00.000 And just like that, the fake political emergency is over.
00:00:03.200 Dustin Trudeau says the country is now safe, but will he ever recover?
00:00:06.560 I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:12.660 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:14.820 So I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief because on Wednesday afternoon,
00:00:19.160 Justin Trudeau came out and lo and behold, he said that there's no longer an emergency.
00:00:23.280 This political emergency is over.
00:00:25.120 So they have withdrawn and revoked the Emergency Act after voting on it just two days earlier,
00:00:31.980 not even two full days, about 36 or 40 hours after it was voted on and passed in the House
00:00:37.120 of Commons.
00:00:37.680 It is now revoked.
00:00:38.780 So Justin Trudeau came out Wednesday afternoon at 4.15 and said that after careful consideration,
00:00:43.840 we are able to confirm the situation is no longer an emergency.
00:00:47.220 Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergency Act.
00:00:50.340 Here is what that looked like.
00:00:51.620 And today, after careful consideration, we're ready to confirm that the situation is no longer
00:00:59.180 an emergency.
00:01:00.660 Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergencies Act.
00:01:06.560 Well, isn't that just incredible?
00:01:08.620 So you might be asking yourself what exactly changed between Monday evening when the House
00:01:14.340 of Commons voted, recall that the entire Liberal caucus, the entire NDP caucus voted in favor
00:01:19.900 of this, the Liberal government whipped their MPs.
00:01:22.740 It was a confidence vote, meaning if they didn't get the votes that they needed, we would get
00:01:25.820 triggered into an election.
00:01:27.500 So it was so important that they all voted in favor of this act, that there was some kind
00:01:31.740 of pressing emergency, some kind of threat to our sovereignty, to our supply chains, our
00:01:35.520 economy, the border integrity.
00:01:37.420 The entire country was at risk.
00:01:39.560 On Monday evening, we needed to pass this Emergencies Act.
00:01:42.200 Even though the protests had already been cleared, even though the police had already marched
00:01:46.540 through Ottawa and removed all the trucks, all the protesters, no borders were currently
00:01:50.620 blocked.
00:01:51.420 Nothing was going on on Monday night that warranted this.
00:01:54.780 Somehow, less than two days later, with no change, no new intel, no police actions, nothing
00:02:00.380 changed.
00:02:01.360 And the Emergency Act is lifted.
00:02:03.500 Of course, all of this just goes to suggest that there was no emergency in the first place.
00:02:07.220 This was all political.
00:02:08.180 It was entirely politically motivated.
00:02:10.220 Justin Trudeau found himself in a bad situation that he himself created.
00:02:13.980 He ignored a working class uprising.
00:02:16.740 By the time they showed up in Ottawa, he called them every name in the book, refused to engage,
00:02:20.760 refused to meet with them, made the situation worse, angered his own base for neglecting to
00:02:26.180 deal with the situation.
00:02:27.180 It made him look incredibly weak, incredibly standoffish.
00:02:30.040 No one even knows where he went.
00:02:31.020 He went and disappeared to an undisclosed location.
00:02:33.980 No one knew where he was.
00:02:35.380 He showed no leadership whatsoever.
00:02:36.960 Remember that poll that was done by David Coletto over at Abacus?
00:02:40.720 They found that of all the levels of government, both sides blamed Justin Trudeau the most.
00:02:45.280 When it came to the people who support the convoy, all the various people to blame, whether
00:02:50.280 it was the police, the local Ottawa City Council, the mayor, the Ontario government, or the feds,
00:02:57.300 most people blame the feds.
00:02:58.760 On the other side, people who oppose the convoy, same exact breakdown.
00:03:02.380 Most people blamed Trudeau.
00:03:04.000 So Trudeau was to blame on both sides.
00:03:06.360 He thought that using this emergency act to just finally clear out the protest would be
00:03:10.360 good enough.
00:03:11.140 Of course, by the time they voted on it, the protest was already cleared.
00:03:14.100 None of this made any sense.
00:03:15.880 Regardless, the emergency act is now gone.
00:03:17.720 So I guess the emergency is over.
00:03:18.840 We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
00:03:20.540 Oh, wait a minute.
00:03:21.200 The government also announced that they are going to continue with the completely egregious
00:03:25.920 practice of stealing people's bank accounts, freezing their bank accounts, making them unbanked,
00:03:31.700 basically removing them from the modern economy.
00:03:33.680 So Chrystia Freeland speaking on Wednesday, she said this about bank accounts.
00:03:37.000 She said, concerning bank accounts, the process of unfreezing these bank accounts has already
00:03:40.540 begun.
00:03:40.940 As the RCMP notes, I just like to stress that there are bank accounts that will remain frozen,
00:03:46.300 not because of the emergency orders.
00:03:48.560 There will be other orders, court orders and others.
00:03:52.040 And because of these orders, the bank accounts may still be frozen.
00:03:56.340 So even though they've removed this draconian piece of legislation that allowed them to do
00:04:01.080 all kinds of abuses and have all kinds of unprecedented power, the ability to freeze people's money,
00:04:07.440 the probably the most terrifying aspect of this entire ordeal, they're just going to hold
00:04:11.780 on to that for a little while longer.
00:04:13.520 Well, the Trudeau government admitted that a $20 donation, a donation as little as $20
00:04:18.600 to the Freedom Convoy may be enough to freeze your bank account.
00:04:22.240 This is True North's Cosmo Georgia reporting.
00:04:24.660 He writes this, banks across Canada have frozen Canadians accounts to the tune of nearly $8
00:04:29.040 million after the Trudeau government ordered a crackdown on the Freedom Convoy's financial
00:04:32.880 support.
00:04:33.680 According to Blacklock's reporter, a Department of Finance said during a Commons Finance Committee
00:04:37.580 meeting that even a $20 donation could lead to consequences.
00:04:42.080 This is a quote from the assistant deputy finance minister.
00:04:45.400 She said, it would be unlikely that someone who gave $20 three weeks ago or even $20 post
00:04:51.020 February 15th would be captured by a freeze, but it's not impossible.
00:04:54.840 So they're going to try their best not to freeze your bank account if you donated to the Freedom
00:04:58.800 Convoy, but it's not impossible.
00:05:00.720 In other words, it's possible.
00:05:01.960 What a mess.
00:05:02.620 What a total sloppy mess.
00:05:03.960 This is a Globe and Mail reporting.
00:05:05.600 They say that government officials said earlier this week that about 206 bank accounts holding a
00:05:11.020 total of $7.8 million were frozen using the emergency measures, most of which were identified
00:05:15.420 as having ties to organizers of the protest or owners of vehicles used to block roads.
00:05:21.880 Key word there, having ties to the protest and the owners of the vehicle.
00:05:25.840 So not even necessarily the individuals who were at the protest or the individuals who owned
00:05:30.400 trucks that were at the protest, just people who had ties to them.
00:05:33.400 That sort of vague language should really send a chill down your spine.
00:05:37.840 They've taken 206 bank accounts.
00:05:39.580 I should note that is more bank accounts than the U.S. federal government seized after 9-11.
00:05:45.720 After 9-11, when they were trying to crack down on the terrorists that funded the hijacking
00:05:50.220 of airplanes that flew into buildings and killed nearly 3,000 people, including Canadians,
00:05:55.300 they seized fewer than 150 bank accounts.
00:05:57.640 When a group of truckers roll into Canada, Canada seizes more bank accounts than the U.S.
00:06:01.720 government after 9-11.
00:06:03.380 Absolutely unbelievable.
00:06:04.820 I'll continue to read from this Globe and Mail report.
00:06:07.280 It says, Canada's banks have since unfrozen most accounts belonging to customers who were
00:06:11.700 linked to illegal blockades, according to the Canadian Bankers Association.
00:06:16.260 Dozens of people tied to the protests had access to financial services cut off last week
00:06:20.620 under emergency powers and acted to pressure protesters to leave downtown Ottawa.
00:06:24.640 Gotta love how the legacy media just slips in the government talking points here.
00:06:28.720 They were linked to illegal blockades.
00:06:30.880 Okay, I'll just note, yes, there were some illegal blockades that happened during the
00:06:35.080 protests.
00:06:35.540 The blocking of the Ambassador Bridge, that was an illegal blockade.
00:06:38.840 There were other blockades at international border crossings, at Canada-U.S. border crossings
00:06:42.380 that were indeed illegal.
00:06:43.940 But calling the Ottawa protests an illegal blockade is government propaganda.
00:06:48.040 That is not what happened.
00:06:49.300 It was a protest similar to every other protest that we see in Ottawa.
00:06:53.460 A whole bunch of people going up on the lawn and part of Parliament, blocking up Wellington
00:06:57.400 Street, people parking their cars there, people walking on the street.
00:07:00.840 That is not illegal in Canada.
00:07:02.400 That is not an illegal blockade.
00:07:03.880 That is a legal, peaceful protest.
00:07:06.400 And every time the legacy media comes out and says that it was an illegal blockade and
00:07:10.180 describe the Ottawa protests that way, the more that people don't trust legacy media,
00:07:14.740 because that is propaganda.
00:07:15.960 They are shilling for Trudeau.
00:07:17.140 They're using his language to try to confuse you, to try to make you on the side of Trudeau
00:07:21.760 and to tell you that there was something nefarious, something illegal about what the peaceful
00:07:26.480 truckers were doing.
00:07:27.280 That is wrong.
00:07:27.880 And I'm going to call it out every single time because it is maddening to see the use
00:07:31.100 of propaganda in the legacy media promoting Justin Trudeau and promoting his language he
00:07:35.980 used to justify this whole thing.
00:07:37.060 We know this whole thing had no justification.
00:07:39.200 We know that now because he revoked it 36 hours after he implemented it, even though nothing
00:07:44.060 changed in those 36 hours.
00:07:46.220 So after this thing was passed in the House of Commons on Monday night, it went to the
00:07:49.420 Senate.
00:07:49.660 The Senate was right in the middle of debating it when Justin Trudeau came out and revoked
00:07:53.380 it, making the Senate debate sort of a moot point.
00:07:55.640 However, I want to cover a little bit of what happened in the Senate because there were some
00:07:58.460 very good, very articulate points raised by conservative senators who articulated it perfectly
00:08:03.040 better than I can.
00:08:03.800 So I'm going to play you this clip from Senator Don Platt.
00:08:06.060 He is the leader of the opposition in the Senate, explaining perfectly well why Justin Trudeau
00:08:11.200 was completely wrong to enact this emergency act.
00:08:13.940 Here's that clip.
00:08:14.540 We're now being asked to vote on a government motion.
00:08:19.300 I agree with most of the legal and constitutional experts, most of the provinces, and most of
00:08:26.460 the observers in Canada and in the rest of the world.
00:08:31.040 This government, the Trudeau government, failed to make its case for the use of the Emergencies
00:08:37.060 Act.
00:08:38.060 Furthermore, the measures it adopted are not reasonable, not proportionate, and not necessary.
00:08:46.700 And finally, even if the declaration of emergency was warranted, and the measures satisfied,
00:08:53.220 the criteria I just mentioned, the emergency, no longer exists.
00:09:00.120 This is why, together with other reasons, I will explain why I will be voting against
00:09:05.540 Senator Gold's motion.
00:09:07.120 Not reasonable, not proportionate, and not necessary.
00:09:09.680 That is absolutely correct.
00:09:10.740 And that is exactly right.
00:09:11.920 Justin Trudeau should have never used this act in the first place.
00:09:15.100 Denise Batters, who is now also with the Conservatives, recall that Erin O'Toole kicked her out of 0.67
00:09:18.380 the Conservative Caucus.
00:09:19.320 Well, now that Erin O'Toole is gone, she is back with the Conservative Caucus.
00:09:22.460 And she also made a very, very passionate speech, reminding everybody that they were sitting
00:09:28.000 in the chamber, in the Senate chamber, the exact place where the Charter of Rights and
00:09:32.240 Freedoms was negotiated.
00:09:33.580 That shouldn't be lost on anybody.
00:09:35.480 Here is Denise Batters making an excellent point in the Senate. 1.00
00:09:38.660 It has not been lost on me, nor should it be on any of you, that this building, now the
00:09:43.400 Senate of Canada building, where I deliver this speech today, is the very building where
00:09:47.160 our Charter of Rights and Freedoms was negotiated.
00:09:50.000 Think of that history, Honourable Senators, when you consider whether to allow this federal
00:09:54.280 government to trample all over that charter.
00:09:56.300 People on both sides of the political spectrum have expressed the view that the Trudeau government's
00:10:01.240 invocation of the Emergencies Act in this situation is considerable government overreach.
00:10:06.100 We need to assert ourselves, Honourable Senators, and reject this unprecedented authoritarian overreach
00:10:11.800 by this federal government.
00:10:13.200 Reject this unprecedented authoritarian overreach by the federal government.
00:10:18.880 Well, lucky for the Trudeau government, he has the unwavering support of the legacy media.
00:10:23.400 So the legacy media were quick to jump in and let everyone know, nothing to see here.
00:10:27.900 Everything was handled perfectly well.
00:10:29.440 There was no abuse of power whatsoever.
00:10:31.360 This is all over now.
00:10:32.240 Let's just sweep it under the rug and move on with our lives.
00:10:35.120 So here is Andrew Coyne doing his best to try to justify what Justin Trudeau did, saying
00:10:38.980 that basically everything was exactly right.
00:10:41.580 So here is his timeline, very distorted, and I will explain why.
00:10:45.220 So Andrew Coyne says this, January 28th to February 14th, Ottawa paralyzed, police do nothing.
00:10:52.680 February 14th, federal emergency declaration.
00:10:55.620 February 18th to 20th, police move in, blockades clear.
00:10:59.540 February 23rd, emergency declaration lifted.
00:11:02.800 In sum, emergency declaration restores order, is lifted soon after, and then he mocks his
00:11:07.360 critics, saying outrage.
00:11:09.020 Basically, Andrew Coyne just thinks that Justin Trudeau is hunky-dory.
00:11:11.900 He handled this all perfectly well, nothing to see here, nothing was wrong.
00:11:16.100 Well, there are a few problems with Andrew Coyne's timeline.
00:11:18.680 I created my own timeline because Andrew Coyne just didn't get the facts right here.
00:11:23.100 Okay, so yes, a convoy rolled into town on January 28th.
00:11:26.520 It started a week earlier when they decided that they were going to do their slow roll
00:11:29.880 from Vancouver all the way.
00:11:31.980 New convoys were created all over the country.
00:11:34.260 Everyone started going to Ottawa, converging onto Ottawa to show their displeasure with the
00:11:38.880 Trudeau government with the mean-spirited, heavy-handed vaccine mandates at a time when
00:11:43.340 the vaccine mandates have been proven to be not effective at all.
00:11:47.880 Look, everybody who's had Omicron has recovered.
00:11:50.480 They're ready to move on with their lives.
00:11:52.280 The vaccine mandate is unnecessary at this point.
00:11:55.360 Okay, so the protest moves into town.
00:11:57.660 It was a noisy protest, correct, but it was also a peaceful protest and a legal protest.
00:12:02.640 So saying that Ottawa was paralyzed is completely hyperbolic and untrue.
00:12:07.640 There was a small part of Ottawa that was disturbed by this.
00:12:10.820 It was a noisy protest.
00:12:11.980 The purpose of a protest is to be noisy, is to be disruptive, is to make people feel uncomfortable.
00:12:16.780 In this case, make the elites who live in Ottawa, who make all the decisions, make them
00:12:20.960 feel uncomfortable to know how uncomfortable they're making people feel with their heavy-handed
00:12:25.780 orders.
00:12:26.700 Okay, so we agree that there was a protest in Ottawa January 28th.
00:12:31.360 I would say it was a noisy protest and the police did their job.
00:12:34.000 The job of the police is to keep the peace, to keep things calm.
00:12:37.080 During that period of time, there was no violence.
00:12:39.880 There were no major arrests.
00:12:40.960 There's no property damage.
00:12:41.940 It was a very calm, albeit noisy, albeit disruptive protest.
00:12:47.060 So police do nothing isn't true.
00:12:48.860 It's not the police's job to solve a political problem.
00:12:51.180 It is not the police's job to make Trudeau's problems go away.
00:12:54.840 Trudeau could have met with the truckers.
00:12:56.120 Trudeau could have tried to hear the truckers.
00:12:58.280 Trudeau could have made a good-faith effort to try to negotiate in some way with the truckers 0.85
00:13:03.060 to say, okay, I understand your point.
00:13:04.800 Let's perhaps lift this mandate or let's make more exemptions for people who don't want
00:13:09.140 to get vaccinated at this point.
00:13:10.860 Instead, what did he do?
00:13:11.780 He poured gasoline on the fire.
00:13:13.280 He called them racist.
00:13:14.140 He called them Nazis.
00:13:14.940 He said that he wanted nothing to do with it.
00:13:16.480 He demonized an entire class of working people in a very divisive way.
00:13:21.420 Most Canadians see it that way.
00:13:23.000 Okay.
00:13:23.180 Andrew Coyne missed this point, which was that on February 13th, the day before the
00:13:27.180 federal emergency was declared, the Ambassador Bridge was cleared.
00:13:31.660 So yes, there was an illegal blockade.
00:13:33.260 It happened on the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor to Detroit.
00:13:36.120 That was cleared over the weekend.
00:13:37.700 The Ambassador Bridge was cleared using the existing laws on the books.
00:13:41.080 So the next day after the Ambassador Bridge had already been cleared, Justin Trudeau comes
00:13:44.600 in and declares an emergency, even though there was no current blockades at that time.
00:13:49.140 Regardless, the journalists cheered and cheered for their hero.
00:13:51.860 said, hooray for Trudeau.
00:13:53.060 Let's get rid of this mess.
00:13:54.740 February 18th to 20th, Coyne says that police moved in and blockades were cleared.
00:13:59.300 I clarified that a little bit to show what really went on, which was that the police
00:14:02.740 crushed a peaceful protest.
00:14:04.940 Then on February 21st, after the protest was already gone, the Emergency Act was passed in
00:14:09.840 the House of Commons.
00:14:11.100 And two days later, even though nothing changed, the Emergency Act was lifted and journalists
00:14:15.980 are just pretending that there is nothing to see there.
00:14:19.180 Mark Gerritsen, a liberal MP, likewise made the same point, basically, that nothing was
00:14:24.020 done wrong, nothing to see here.
00:14:25.320 Let's all just move on with our lives.
00:14:26.700 Everything was handled properly.
00:14:28.180 He writes this, the Emergency Act exactly served its purpose.
00:14:31.660 It was one, targeted only where it was needed.
00:14:34.460 Two, proportionate to the threat.
00:14:36.480 Three, lasted only as long as needed.
00:14:38.400 And four, always maintained charter rights.
00:14:41.360 I mean, that whole, okay, well, that whole thing is wrong.
00:14:43.700 Targeted only where needed.
00:14:44.720 And where exactly was it needed?
00:14:46.300 Because by the time it was enacted and passed, the protest was already gone, okay?
00:14:51.540 Proportionate to the threat, they used undue force, excessive force, against unarmed, peaceful
00:14:56.340 protesters to clear them up because Trudeau simply didn't want them there.
00:14:59.320 It was a political problem, not a threat, not a national security threat, regardless of
00:15:03.660 how many times liberals repeat that.
00:15:05.380 Lasted only as long as needed.
00:15:06.760 Well, it wasn't needed at all.
00:15:08.200 Always maintained the charter rights.
00:15:09.660 I can't wait until the conservatives are in power and there is a big protest that rolls
00:15:14.040 into town or there is a big foreign-funded environmental movement or protest and all
00:15:18.940 of a sudden the conservatives start considering using some of these same tactics against the
00:15:23.480 left, against liberals.
00:15:24.580 I wonder how they'll feel about their charter rights when, if and when, a conservative government
00:15:28.880 ever seizes the bank accounts of political activists on the left.
00:15:32.280 I'm sure they will have a different tune.
00:15:33.900 Well, Candace Bergen, who's the interim leader of the Conservative Party, came out with a pretty
00:15:37.560 strong statement.
00:15:38.360 She wrote this, the Conservative Party knew it was wrong.
00:15:40.540 Canadians knew he was wrong.
00:15:42.060 The PM was wrong when he invoked it.
00:15:44.140 He was wrong when he voted to continue it at 8 p.m. on Monday.
00:15:47.660 He was wrong when he made it a confidence vote.
00:15:50.340 Nothing has changed between Monday and today other than a flood of concerns from Canadian 1.00
00:15:54.360 citizens, bad press, and international ridicule.
00:15:58.000 It's a really good point because you wonder, so what did change?
00:16:00.840 What was the main thing that changed between Monday night when they voted this thing in with
00:16:04.600 a confidence vote and Wednesday afternoon when they lifted it?
00:16:07.740 Well, what changed?
00:16:08.540 I'll tell you what changed.
00:16:09.780 Polling.
00:16:10.220 Public opinion polls came out, and again, it did not look good for Justin Trudeau.
00:16:14.740 So an Ipsos poll came out on Thursday reflecting what had been happening in the week prior.
00:16:19.340 And I'm sure PMO or Justin Trudeau's inner circle got their hands on this, or they had
00:16:22.860 their own internal polling that was saying the exact same thing.
00:16:25.820 But this global poll came out, and it's pretty devastating for Justin Trudeau.
00:16:30.220 It shows that Trudeau gets a failing grade from Canadians.
00:16:33.580 So I'm just going to read this piece because it's really interesting, not just to see the
00:16:37.340 facts of the poll, but also how global news and the legacy media cover Justin Trudeau and
00:16:42.740 cover this convoy.
00:16:44.420 So here's global news.
00:16:45.860 It says, Trudeau's convoy response gets a failing grade, but even fewer support protesters'
00:16:50.980 polls.
00:16:51.300 So they even have to put it in.
00:16:52.480 Even though Justin Trudeau is the leader of the country, it is his responsibility to keep
00:16:56.280 peace, keep order, and keep the country united.
00:16:58.500 Instead of just focusing on how he gets a failing grade, they had to add in, oh, but
00:17:03.160 don't worry, he's still more popular than those working class truckers, as if that helps. 1.00
00:17:07.600 But they just had to throw that in there.
00:17:09.300 Okay.
00:17:09.600 So I'll read from the story.
00:17:10.900 It says, as the so-called freedom convoy comes to an end in Ottawa, they even put freedom
00:17:15.640 convoy in scare quotes there.
00:17:17.440 It says, Canadians remain divided on how they feel about the protests.
00:17:20.660 According to a new Ipsos poll published Thursday, Canadians' approval of Justin Trudeau's
00:17:24.620 handling of the convoy blockade was only seven points higher than that of the protesters.
00:17:28.460 The poll conducted exclusively for Global News showed that 43% of Canadians approved of
00:17:34.240 the way Trudeau handled the three-week-long protests, while 36% supported the truckers.
00:17:39.760 So the way that they're even painting this and showing this is like kind of trying to
00:17:43.640 pit Justin Trudeau versus the truckers.
00:17:46.700 And in our parliamentary system, 43% approval rating isn't that bad.
00:17:50.860 What they bury a little further down is that a staggering 52% of people said that Justin
00:17:57.440 Trudeau's rhetoric and the way that he approached the situation made things worse and that he
00:18:01.880 was mostly responsible for what happened.
00:18:03.700 So rather than putting that side by side, 43% approved, 53% that he was to fault.
00:18:09.000 They bury the 53% later on and they pit him against a lower support level for the truckers.
00:18:16.260 It continues to go on.
00:18:17.160 And it says, in Ontario, where most of the protests actively was focused, 49% approved
00:18:22.100 of Doug Ford's handling.
00:18:23.320 So Ford had a higher approval rating than Trudeau, even though they essentially took the same
00:18:27.060 position.
00:18:27.500 The only difference was that Justin Trudeau was far more divisive in his language.
00:18:31.100 And I want to read you this paragraph because it really just shows you the mindset of the
00:18:35.680 people who write the news and the people who conduct these polls.
00:18:38.680 They're always on the side of the liberals.
00:18:40.360 They're always cheering for the liberals.
00:18:41.540 They're always cheering for Trudeau.
00:18:42.620 And let me explain what I mean.
00:18:43.480 This is a quote, it says, what's particularly worrying is that 52% of the people that we
00:18:49.160 interviewed said that the prime minister's divisive rhetoric and the way that he approached
00:18:53.600 the protest was mostly responsible for what happened.
00:18:56.300 Daryl Bricker, CEO of Ipsis Public Affairs told Trudeau.
00:18:59.720 So wait a minute.
00:19:00.700 What's particularly worrying is that 52% of Canadians oppose Trudeau.
00:19:04.940 Why would that be particularly worrying for anyone other than Justin Trudeau himself and
00:19:09.200 other than the PMO and Trudeau's inner circle?
00:19:11.620 Why would the head of a polling company say that it's particularly worrying that Canadians
00:19:17.300 oppose Trudeau?
00:19:18.660 I mean, just the mindset of the way that they write the news and they put this stuff together
00:19:23.200 is just really, really telling.
00:19:25.420 So I'll continue reading.
00:19:26.300 It says this.
00:19:27.000 Bricker said that the issue here is that even though authorities may not like it, data is
00:19:31.320 showing that protesters have gained a certain amount of sympathy among the Canadian population.
00:19:36.820 The poll also states a deep generational divide is evident with a majority of those 18 to 34,
00:19:43.180 58%, and 35 to 54, 53%, sympathizing with the protesters compared to only 32% of them aged
00:19:51.840 over 55.
00:19:52.540 That is really bad news for Justin Trudeau.
00:19:54.580 The fact that 18 to 34-year-olds, nearly 60%, nearly two-thirds of people in that younger
00:20:00.020 age group sympathized with the convoy, not good news at all for Justin Trudeau.
00:20:05.940 One other bit of news I want to cover here, which is, I mentioned this on the show the
00:20:09.600 other day that Tamara Litch, one of the organizers and the one that started the GoFundMe campaign,
00:20:14.420 a Métis woman, she was arrested during the police action over the weekend.
00:20:18.680 And I mentioned that she was denied bail.
00:20:20.480 What I didn't mention at the time, because it wasn't out yet, was that the person who
00:20:24.280 was presiding over the case, the judge presiding over the case that denied Tamara Litch bail
00:20:28.780 was a former Liberal Party candidate.
00:20:32.160 She was one of, she ran for Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party in the 2011 election.
00:20:37.680 She lost and then Trudeau appointed her to the federal bench. 0.51
00:20:41.140 She is now the one overseeing this.
00:20:42.940 This is, this is an insane conflict of interest.
00:20:45.540 The fact that this judge hasn't recused herself from this case is insane because the appearance
00:20:50.720 of political interference, political bias of undermining, again, of our judicial system
00:20:55.780 and the rule of law is really, really, really, really bad.
00:20:58.860 So this judge also made 71 donations to the Liberal Party between 2009 and 2014, ranging amounts
00:21:05.540 from $5 to $1,186.
00:21:09.340 And here is Justin Trudeau back in 2013, promoting her in a video saying that she is, has vision
00:21:15.400 and she's authentic.
00:21:16.420 Here he is endorsing a judge who is now denying bail to one of these organizers.
00:21:22.060 This is unbelievable.
00:21:22.980 Here is what that looked like.
00:21:24.540 It's an extraordinary pleasure for me to tell you how much I have great admiration for Julie Bourgeois.
00:21:31.200 Her vision, her authenticity, her strength is going to be an amazing asset, both of the
00:21:38.080 people of Glengarry Prescott Russell, but also to everyone in the House of Commons after
00:21:42.360 the next elections when I will have, hopefully, the honor of sitting beside her in the House.
00:21:48.400 Thank you very much.
00:21:49.680 So this judge, Judge Bourgeois, she now says, I cannot be assured that if I release you into
00:21:54.740 the community, you will not re-offend.
00:21:56.780 So she's held without the possibility of bail because supposedly she's a threat to public 1.00
00:22:03.300 safety.
00:22:03.680 Well, wait a minute.
00:22:04.180 The Emergency Act is over now.
00:22:05.920 So the threat is over, according to Justin Trudeau.
00:22:08.180 They no longer need the Emergency Act.
00:22:10.120 And yet a Métis woman who organized a GoFundMe campaign can't be released because she's a threat.
00:22:15.420 This is wild.
00:22:16.220 Again, this is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
00:22:18.300 Keep in mind that the deranged left-wing activists, Antifa activists who rammed his car into the
00:22:24.000 protest, who hit four protesters with his car, that guy, yeah, that guy was released on bail.
00:22:28.900 No problem.
00:22:29.420 He's facing 11 serious charges.
00:22:31.740 He assaulted people, injured people, tried to murder people.
00:22:34.600 And all he had to do was post $10,000 bail.
00:22:37.460 He's allowed out.
00:22:38.220 No big deal.
00:22:39.120 But when it comes to the organizer at an event who committed no violence, who committed
00:22:42.960 no assault, who has been peaceful throughout, apparently she is a threat to public and can't 1.00
00:22:49.420 be released.
00:22:49.920 Look, Justin Trudeau's abuses of power continue, even though the Emergency Act is over.
00:22:54.180 He's declared it over.
00:22:55.020 He's admitted that it was all a political facade.
00:22:58.000 Well, his abuses of power continue and Canadians are continuing to take note.
00:23:02.080 Most have concluded that despite the media cheerleading, despite the spin and the propaganda
00:23:06.040 being fed to you by the legacy media, that Justin Trudeau is the big loser of these blockades.
00:23:11.760 He ignored the legitimate concerns of the working class.
00:23:14.300 He demonized the truckers.
00:23:15.640 He called them every name in the book.
00:23:16.720 And he poured gasoline on the fire rather than being a leader and dealing with it.
00:23:21.040 He then hid.
00:23:21.940 He hid out in an undisclosed location for weeks, waiting for someone else to solve his problem.
00:23:27.360 Well, when all else failed, he staged an unprecedented power grab to squash a peaceful protest.
00:23:33.740 People saw and people will remember that.
00:23:36.040 No amount of media spin will make that go away.
00:23:38.860 Trudeau gambled and he lost.
00:23:40.480 I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:23:46.720 It's the Candace Malcolm Churchill.
00:23:55.380 He'll check this out.
