It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state, replete with snitch lines, kangaroo courts, and mass censorship.

00:00:00.240 Justin Trudeau's new online harms bill is the biggest threat to freedom of speech in this country.
00:00:06.220 It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state replete with snitch lines, kangaroo courts, and mass censorship.
00:00:14.440 But rather than sounding the alarm bell, the legacy media in Canada is doing the Prime Minister's dirty work and smearing the opposition.
00:00:21.860 It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:30.000 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast today.
00:00:39.520 Don't forget to like this video, subscribe to our True North channel, leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the content,
00:00:44.060 and don't forget to head on over to our website, www.tnc.news, where you can sign up for our newsletter so you never miss a story.
00:00:51.980 Okay, so we covered this on the show on Tuesday, but earlier this week, on Monday,
00:00:55.820 the Liberal government, led by Justice Minister Arif Varani, introduced their new censorship bill, Bill C-63,
00:01:04.580 which they call the Online Harms Act. It was tabled in the House of Commons.
00:01:09.720 I walked through the entire bill on my show on Tuesday, so I encourage you to go check that out if you haven't already.
00:01:16.040 Basically, the gist of this document, of this bill, is two things.
00:01:21.940 It really tries to do two things. One is the whole protecting children from what they call sexual exploitation, porn,
00:01:30.660 all that kind of thing, the predation of predators, protecting children.
00:01:35.120 But they also included this entire other component, which is cracking down on so-called hate speech, harmful content,
00:01:42.200 content, including introducing all kinds of new punishments, and really dangerous territory,
00:01:50.460 things that you can get convicted of for simply writing your opinion online.
00:01:55.440 And if that opinion goes against sort of the ruling mob, you could find yourself in a great deal of trouble.
00:02:00.760 So according to the government's own communication on this bill,
00:02:04.520 they write that the government of Canada is introducing legislation to combat harmful content online,
00:02:11.140 including the sexual exploitation of children.
00:02:13.220 So again, the emphasis is entirely on protecting children.
00:02:16.740 And then they kind of just like sneak the other components in.
00:02:20.180 And that is the greatest concern, because these other components are what we should all be worried about.
00:02:25.380 True North covered this.
00:02:26.540 Our article writes that the Liberals Online hate bill contains $70,000 fines for speech and potential life imprisonment,
00:02:36.640 all for speech, all for speech, not for being convicted of any crime,
00:02:40.320 but just for things that you write potentially online.
00:02:44.000 You could go to prison for life.
00:02:46.360 The bill increases the maximum sentence for what they call advocating genocide,
00:02:50.400 which is incredibly loosely defined.
00:02:52.320 They don't say what they mean by advocating genocide.
00:02:54.400 They don't even say what genocide means.
00:02:57.460 But for the crime of advocating genocide, the punishment went from five years up to life in prison.
00:03:03.760 You could go to life, you go to prison for life for simply writing things online.
00:03:09.220 So as you would expect in a free society, a lot of people oppose this bill.
00:03:13.680 All of the leading civil liberties and civil rights organizations came out against it.
00:03:18.180 So this is the left-wing Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
00:03:21.900 They put out a press release urging substantial amendments to the online harms bill.
00:03:27.520 They write that one troubling aspect of Bill C-63 is the vast authority bestowed upon a newly established body
00:03:34.920 comprising government appointees to interpret the law, make up new rules, enforce them,
00:03:41.140 and then serve as judge, jury, and executioner.
00:03:43.620 Granting such sweeping powers to one body undermines the fundamental principle of democratic accountability.
00:03:50.500 Furthermore, the bill's provisions, which include sweeping new search powers of electronic data with no warrant requirement,
00:03:57.480 pose significant threats to privacy rights.
00:03:59.460 The bill provides for unacceptable intrusions into individuals' digital lives.
00:04:05.300 So, like I said, this is a surveillance state.
00:04:09.000 We're talking about government commissioners empowered by themselves, operating on their own.
00:04:14.160 I think this says it perfectly when it says that this government body will act as judge, jury, and executioner.
00:04:20.680 One of the things that the Civil Liberties Association also mentioned was that Bill C-63 risks censoring a range of expression,
00:04:29.420 including journalistic reporting.
00:04:31.020 So, even the left-wing Civil Liberties Association is ringing the alarm bell, saying journalists should oppose this bill.
00:04:36.400 Journalists should be worried because it will censor journalistic reporting.
00:04:41.780 Similarly, the more libertarian-associated or oriented Canadian Constitution Fund also came out opposed to this bill.
00:04:49.640 They wrote about their concerns.
00:04:51.760 It says here, the Canadian Constitution Foundation is deeply concerned by the Online Harms Act,
00:04:56.020 introduced in the House of Commons on February 26th, will significantly hamper constitutionally protected expression.
00:05:03.780 And here is a quote from Executive Director Joanna Barron, saying,
00:05:07.220 The Justice Minister, Verrani, has tied these speech restrictions to defensible measures like removing images of child sexual exploitation material and revenge porn.
00:05:17.980 But don't be fooled.
00:05:19.200 Most of the bill is aimed at restricting freedom of expression.
00:05:22.260 This heavy-handed bill needs to be severely pared down to comply with the Constitution.
00:05:28.280 So, I think this is a really important point, a really interesting point.
00:05:32.100 Don't be fooled.
00:05:33.720 The whole point of this bill, most of the bill, is about restricting freedom of expression.
00:05:38.840 They lead with the idea about protecting children, but that's really not what this is about.
00:05:43.400 It's about so much more.
00:05:44.440 And likewise, Michael Geist, who is the former head of the CRTC, he is a law professor,
00:05:52.620 and he wrote on his website why the Criminal Code and Human Rights Act provision should be removed from the Online Harms Act.
00:06:01.140 And, yeah, he was the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa as well.
00:06:07.020 And he breaks it down pretty clearly.
00:06:10.260 He says that Bill C-63 is effectively four bills in one.
00:06:13.820 So, first is the Online Harms Act.
00:06:15.700 Second, it's the expansion of mandatory pornography reporting.
00:06:19.420 Third, it's the criminal code provisions, which opens up the door to life in prison for committing offenses that are motivated by hatred.
00:06:26.080 And fourth, it's changes to the Canadian Human Rights Act, which restores the hated Section 13.
00:06:32.380 And so, basically, what he says is that there's a huge difference between the first two and the latter two.
00:06:38.640 The first two are focused on the obligations of Internet platforms and addressing online harms.
00:06:43.480 Well, the latter two have nothing to do with Internet platforms at all.
00:06:46.440 So, he's basically urging them to split this into two so that we can have a proper debate on this.
00:06:51.320 And that's what you would come to expect, right?
00:06:54.460 You're going to put out a piece of legislation.
00:06:56.420 It's a huge, ominous bill essentially covering four different things.
00:06:59.440 And rather than criticizing the bill, as these civil liberties organizations and as these law professors have done,
00:07:07.800 what do we see from the mainstream media?
00:07:09.640 Well, that's a silly question because we know exactly how the legacy media is going to cover this.
00:07:14.500 They did exactly what the Liberals wanted.
00:07:17.120 They did exactly what the Justice Minister did when he introduced the bill,
00:07:20.740 which is that they focused entirely on the keeping kids safe part, on the popular part,
00:07:25.320 on the thing that almost every Canadian can agree with.
00:07:27.440 And they didn't really bother to address the second half.
00:07:30.460 So, this is how Global News Toronto covered the news.
00:07:36.500 This is how they introduced it to the Canadian public.
00:07:38.620 Let's play that clip.
00:07:40.000 The federal government has tabled a long-awaited bill designed to protect children from online harm.
00:07:46.800 Bill C-63 promises to tackle child endangerment online
00:07:50.980 and put a stop to the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
00:07:54.780 Changes to the criminal code and the Canadian Human Rights Act will also be made.
00:07:59.480 And it will be mandatory to report online child pornography.
00:08:03.860 The bill also includes stiffer punishments for hate propaganda
00:08:06.700 and a pledge to hold social media platforms accountable for the material they host.
00:08:11.540 So, again, you can just see by the way that this is covered
00:08:14.480 is it covered exactly the way the Liberals want it to be covered.
00:08:16.960 This is all about safety, all about protecting kids.
00:08:19.520 It's all about making the Internet a safer place against predators,
00:08:23.260 which, again, is probably something that we can all get behind.
00:08:25.880 It's something that Canadians all generally agree with.
00:08:27.760 Let's protect kids.
00:08:28.740 Let's keep them innocent. 0.62
00:08:29.720 Let's not let them around creepy perverts.
00:08:31.600 Like, that's pretty basic stuff.
00:08:33.440 But the media isn't telling you the truth about this bill.
00:08:36.920 They want you to think that it's just about saving kids.
00:08:40.000 The CBC Toronto or the Global News Toronto thing is pretty innocuous.
00:08:44.020 It's pretty just basic bad reporting.
00:08:46.500 But then you get into, like, the really malicious stuff.
00:08:49.020 So here is how the CBC decided to cover this story.
00:08:52.340 They found they went into the archives.
00:08:55.260 They reached out to Amanda Todd's mother.
00:08:58.220 Remember, Amanda Todd is the 15-year-old girl that committed suicide back in 2012.
00:09:03.440 Back in 2012, she committed suicide.
00:09:05.680 She posted a YouTube video explaining how she was being bullied online,
00:09:10.680 how she was the victim of sexual exploitation.
00:09:14.300 And she ended up sadly, tragically, killing herself.
00:09:18.600 Again, this is 12 years ago now, right?
00:09:20.880 So I know it was a huge story at the time,
00:09:23.160 and it led to a lot of sort of public awareness about how to engage online
00:09:28.200 and the dangers of having children acting sexually online.
00:09:32.340 You know, the reason that Amanda Todd was so tormented
00:09:35.900 is because she would go onto her webcam 0.99
00:09:38.680 and basically get naked in front of the boys in her grade.
00:09:43.160 And then they used those images to bully her and kind of blackmail her.
00:09:47.020 It was all very tragic, very sad.
00:09:49.580 But the CBC is bringing up this story,
00:09:52.660 tracked down the mother of this girl,
00:09:55.280 this poor mother that had to live through that horrible tragedy 1.00
00:09:57.980 of her daughter killing herself.
00:10:00.420 And here they have her coming up to defend us and Trudeau
00:10:03.680 to explain why Trudeau is right to introduce this sweeping new legislation.
00:10:08.540 So we have that clip from CBC aired on February 27th.
00:10:11.720 Let's play that clip.
00:10:12.920 Joining me now for reaction to the bill is Carol Todd.
00:10:16.140 Her daughter, Amanda Todd,
00:10:17.540 was a victim of cyberbullying and online sextortion at just 15 years old.
00:10:22.500 Carol joins us now from Coquitlam, British Columbia.
00:10:25.780 So Carol, thank you for joining us.
00:10:27.700 How do you think this act could help teenagers
00:10:30.500 who are facing some of the same struggles that Amanda did?
00:10:34.020 I think this Online Harms Act,
00:10:37.560 we can call it an online safety legislation,
00:10:41.140 will put another layer of protection and safeguarding
00:10:45.280 in the online world
00:10:47.640 where kids and youth and even adults
00:10:51.520 are in daily and hourly, right?
00:10:56.000 And so we need to have the social media platforms
00:11:00.100 and all these things in place
00:11:02.300 for liability, for privacy,
00:11:07.300 for protecting our citizens.
00:11:10.480 This is so manipulative.
00:11:12.260 So they take this poor mother, 1.00
00:11:14.500 get her to explain how somehow
00:11:16.440 this bill,
00:11:17.700 which I'm guessing she probably hasn't read the bill,
00:11:19.760 this woman,
00:11:20.600 but she says that this bill
00:11:21.680 probably could have saved her daughter's life. 1.00
00:11:24.140 So her daughter, again,
00:11:25.720 tragically died
00:11:26.620 because she was engaging
00:11:27.660 in antisocial sexual behavior online.
00:11:30.920 And rather than having a parent
00:11:32.680 who was there to guide her child
00:11:34.560 and say, no, no, no,
00:11:35.440 don't take your clothes off
00:11:36.520 for strange men on the internet
00:11:38.480 or for boys on the internet
00:11:39.720 or for strangers on the internet,
00:11:41.380 instead she's saying,
00:11:42.540 what we really need
00:11:43.740 is more government legislation
00:11:45.300 to create a censorship regime
00:11:47.440 and somehow that would have saved my daughter's life.
00:11:50.360 I mean, again,
00:11:51.000 the whole thing is so cynical
00:11:52.020 that CBC would even reach out to this woman
00:11:53.860 as if she's some kind of an expert on the topic.
00:11:56.340 Why?
00:11:56.660 Because her daughter was involved
00:11:58.640 in a sad, tragic story.
00:12:01.360 This mother let her daughter down, 0.99
00:12:03.680 I'm sorry to say,
00:12:04.860 but she let her daughter down.
00:12:06.900 Again, one of the things
00:12:08.520 that I don't think that we talk about enough
00:12:10.100 is how dangerous the internet can be for children.
00:12:13.540 It's not good for kids.
00:12:15.020 Parents should take on more responsibility
00:12:17.020 in stopping their kids
00:12:18.940 from spending too much time online,
00:12:20.820 from engaging in antisocial behavior online,
00:12:23.300 from doing things like what Amanda Todd did.
00:12:26.520 Parents should take a greater role
00:12:28.040 in protecting their children.
00:12:29.980 We shouldn't turn to the government
00:12:31.220 to demand vast layers of censorship
00:12:34.720 and surveillance and all kinds of things
00:12:37.380 to protect kids.
00:12:39.200 Parents should be the ones protecting kids.
00:12:41.020 So I'm really opposed.
00:12:42.200 I think it's disgusting
00:12:42.980 that the CBC interviewed that woman,
00:12:45.320 played that clip.
00:12:46.340 But again,
00:12:46.880 that's sort of what we can expect from the CBC.
00:12:49.320 And again,
00:12:49.860 just emphasizing the part
00:12:52.020 that Justin Trudeau wanted to emphasize,
00:12:53.720 the part that this is just all about saving kids,
00:12:56.060 saving kids like Amanda Todd.
00:12:58.000 If this legislation was in place,
00:12:59.640 Amanda Todd wouldn't have killed herself, apparently.
00:13:03.320 It's just really manipulative stuff
00:13:05.260 from the legacy media.
00:13:06.600 And another thing that we saw the media doing,
00:13:09.960 this is a story from the Canadian press,
00:13:11.620 and you'll recall that the Canadian press
00:13:13.300 does receive funding from the Trudeau government.
00:13:16.220 They get a multitude of funds,
00:13:18.220 including the Canada Periodical Fund
00:13:19.860 and the Local Journalism Initiative,
00:13:22.420 which are grants from the Trudeau government
00:13:23.780 to pay for its funding.
00:13:24.880 So the Canadian press wrote a story.
00:13:29.320 The headline that they gave it
00:13:30.460 is that child safety and not censorship
00:13:33.100 is the focus of the online harms bill,
00:13:35.820 according to Trudeau.
00:13:37.180 So it says,
00:13:38.300 child safety, not censorship,
00:13:39.660 the focus of online harms bill, Trudeau.
00:13:42.520 And this headline appeared in newspapers
00:13:45.480 across the country,
00:13:47.320 using exactly Trudeau's perspective,
00:13:49.820 verbatim saying it's just about child safety,
00:13:51.680 not about censorship,
00:13:53.620 which is what Trudeau wants you to believe.
00:13:55.500 Just take a look at this.
00:13:56.520 This is what it looks like on Twitter.
00:13:58.080 You can see that every single headline
00:14:00.020 had said the exact same thing.
00:14:02.280 It was just Trudeau's words
00:14:03.440 wrapped up into a headline.
00:14:05.960 Literally, the legacy media
00:14:07.200 just take Trudeau government talking points,
00:14:09.140 take the liberal talking points,
00:14:10.600 publish it as news.
00:14:12.080 This is what happens
00:14:12.840 when you have a bought and paid for media.
00:14:15.680 They just do exactly what Trudeau says.
00:14:17.940 And so within that news story,
00:14:20.040 you can see the exact same thing.
00:14:21.420 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:14:22.340 is promising that his government's upcoming bill
00:14:24.980 to legislate against online harms
00:14:26.900 will focus on making the internet safer for minors
00:14:29.240 while not censoring Canadians.
00:14:32.740 Of course, that's what the liberals say.
00:14:34.520 They're lying.
00:14:35.160 The liberals aren't telling you the truth,
00:14:36.680 but that's what they're saying.
00:14:38.340 And then instead of being, you know,
00:14:40.560 skeptical about it and being critical of it,
00:14:42.360 which is the role of a free press,
00:14:44.120 the media just tells you
00:14:45.220 what Trudeau is saying about the bill,
00:14:47.380 barely even mentioning
00:14:48.900 what all these other opposition people are saying.
00:14:51.520 It's a huge bait and switch, right?
00:14:52.720 They're saying it's about child safety,
00:14:54.480 which I think most Canadians get behind.
00:14:56.740 I have my own concerns.
00:14:57.940 I think, again, it's probably the role of parents
00:14:59.940 to do a lot of this kind of stuff
00:15:01.340 rather than a heavy-handed government.
00:15:03.180 But I think most parents,
00:15:04.540 most Canadians can get behind the idea
00:15:06.020 that there should be more protections
00:15:07.440 for kids online.
00:15:08.880 Fine.
00:15:09.900 The bait and switch is that,
00:15:11.140 as the critics said,
00:15:11.960 as the Civil Liberties Organization,
00:15:13.380 as Michael Geist,
00:15:14.180 as law experts, law professors say,
00:15:17.540 this is getting into censorship territory.
00:15:20.540 This is getting into surveillance state territory.
00:15:23.780 So they do the bait and switch.
00:15:25.460 And then when all else fails,
00:15:26.820 they simply go to attacking
00:15:29.240 Justin Trudeau's opposition, Pierre Polyev.
00:15:31.840 So we saw a taste of this last Friday
00:15:33.880 before the bill was even introduced
00:15:35.260 on February 23rd.
00:15:37.680 We cover this in the show as well.
00:15:39.540 True North's own Andrew Lawton
00:15:40.680 was at a press conference
00:15:41.860 with Pierre Polyev last Wednesday.
00:15:44.200 He asked a question
00:15:45.160 about the upcoming online harms bill
00:15:47.420 because everyone knows
00:15:48.580 it's been coming down the pike.
00:15:50.320 They've been talking about this legislation
00:15:51.960 for two-plus years.
00:15:53.420 So we've known it's been coming
00:15:55.100 for a long time.
00:15:57.220 Pierre Polyev was asked about it
00:15:58.920 and he didn't mince words.
00:16:01.300 Let's just put it that way.
00:16:02.100 I played the clip on my show yesterday.
00:16:03.880 He came out swinging against Justin Trudeau.
00:16:06.180 Well, here is Breakfast Television's Sid Saxero.
00:16:11.740 He's a very popular broadcaster.
00:16:14.260 He's got a big following.
00:16:15.580 He's a sports guy.
00:16:17.280 And I'm going to play this clip.
00:16:19.640 I'll walk you through it.
00:16:20.940 I'm going to point out a couple of my critiques
00:16:23.700 about this way that the media go after Pierre Polyev.
00:16:27.880 But here is Sid Saxero from last Friday,
00:16:31.520 prior to the legislation being introduced,
00:16:32.960 but criticizing Pierre Polyev proactively
00:16:35.760 for criticizing Trudeau
00:16:37.780 for the upcoming Online Harms Act.
00:16:39.680 So let's play that clip.
00:16:42.000 Canada's federal political situation.
00:16:45.600 Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives
00:16:47.380 have been sitting pretty easy here for a while.
00:16:50.940 And depending on the poll that you look at,
00:16:53.120 reputable polls in this country,
00:16:55.060 the Conservatives are anywhere from 15 to 20 points up
00:16:57.540 depending on the week
00:16:59.080 and depending on the story.
00:17:01.100 Justin Trudeau and the Liberals
00:17:02.780 have a long way to go.
00:17:03.780 This is just a latest example.
00:17:05.160 This is a Nanos research poll.
00:17:07.700 17 points lead.
00:17:08.160 Just pause it there for a second.
00:17:10.020 Justin Trudeau has a long way to go.
00:17:11.740 So even just the way he's talking about it.
00:17:13.780 You know, Pierre Polyev is popular
00:17:15.060 because he's talking about the issues
00:17:16.180 that Canadians agree with.
00:17:17.480 Canadians are so tired of Justin Trudeau,
00:17:19.580 so tired of his divisiveness,
00:17:21.220 so tired of his left-wing agenda
00:17:22.600 that is making life so difficult
00:17:25.440 for so many Canadians.
00:17:26.460 I mean, I don't have to go through it all.
00:17:27.740 You guys know what I'm talking about.
00:17:29.400 Obviously, the Conservatives are up
00:17:32.060 because they have a more popular leader
00:17:33.800 and they have better ideas
00:17:35.120 and Canadians want to change.
00:17:38.000 But just the way he's prefacing this whole thing,
00:17:41.300 saying that Liberals have a way to go.
00:17:42.800 They've got to catch up.
00:17:43.780 They've got to win this thing back.
00:17:45.720 And you can see that's where this is going.
00:17:47.540 Okay, let's keep this.
00:17:48.840 Let's resume the clip.
00:17:50.320 For Pierre Polyev and the Federal Conservatives.
00:17:52.680 Now, again, we're not looking at an election
00:17:54.320 until October of 2025-ish.
00:17:58.720 That's kind of the time frame.
00:18:00.220 But yesterday was a very interesting day
00:18:02.180 because Pierre Polyev,
00:18:03.740 in the media availability,
00:18:05.640 kind of let it fly.
00:18:07.580 And we haven't seen this
00:18:09.020 from the Conservative leader in a bit.
00:18:11.920 Here is a synopsis of what was said yesterday.
00:18:14.940 Pierre Polyev is against impending legislation
00:18:18.180 that would combat hate speech,
00:18:20.200 terrorist content,
00:18:21.280 and violent material online.
00:18:23.440 The bill isn't even written yet.
00:18:25.060 But he went after Trudeau for that.
00:18:26.660 He also said Trudeau was not...
00:18:28.260 Okay, just the way that he phrased that again.
00:18:30.660 So he's saying, you know,
00:18:32.020 the Liberals are introducing this great bill
00:18:33.580 that will go after hate speech and terrorism.
00:18:36.220 And Pierre Polyev has the audacity to go against it,
00:18:39.580 even though it isn't even written yet.
00:18:41.120 I've got news for you.
00:18:42.160 It was written.
00:18:42.900 It was written last week.
00:18:44.240 It was written two weeks ago.
00:18:45.560 This thing had been leaked all throughout the press.
00:18:47.900 By last Friday, it was written.
00:18:50.260 I mean, it was introduced first thing Monday morning.
00:18:52.600 So this guy is not even factually correct
00:18:54.360 to say the bill isn't even written yet.
00:18:56.180 It's come through several iterations.
00:18:58.180 We've been seeing it coming, like I said,
00:19:00.100 for a long time now.
00:19:01.780 Hence why Andrew Lawton asked Pierre Polyev
00:19:04.100 that question in the first place.
00:19:05.600 So it's not even factually true.
00:19:07.980 And just the way that he presented that bill there
00:19:10.200 is designed to make you want to support Justin Trudeau.
00:19:15.160 And like, how dare Pierre Polyev have the audacity
00:19:18.500 to come out against a bill that censors the internet?
00:19:21.580 Okay, let's keep playing.
00:19:23.060 Peter, to introduce this legislation
00:19:25.860 because he wore blackface and racist costumes in the past.
00:19:31.200 Polyev went on to say he is against transgender women
00:19:33.500 in female bathrooms, changing rooms, and in sports. 1.00
00:19:35.980 Also, he said Trudeau should stay out
00:19:38.620 of New Brunswick provincial legislation
00:19:40.460 that would no longer protect 2SLGBTQ plus students in school.
00:19:46.660 So there are a lot of very important issues here.
00:19:50.560 Again, just pause it right there.
00:19:52.040 The way that he frames that,
00:19:53.540 he's saying that Pierre Polyev said
00:19:55.100 to stay out of New Brunswick schools.
00:19:57.300 And then what was happening in New Brunswick schools?
00:19:59.660 Well, the way that Sid explains it 0.89
00:20:01.280 is that somehow the government was cracking down on gay kids. 0.81
00:20:05.700 Or cracking down on sexual minorities.
00:20:08.420 When that's not what it's doing at all,
00:20:09.480 it's just saying that the parents need to be informed
00:20:11.300 if a child wants to sexually transition, right?
00:20:14.860 But the way he framed it was it was about protecting kids,
00:20:17.360 which I've talked about in the past on this program,
00:20:19.460 that the media, they don't tell you the gory details
00:20:22.080 about what they're talking about.
00:20:23.040 They just use these kind of broad, sweeping euphemisms,
00:20:25.620 protecting kids, protecting gay rights, or whatever,
00:20:30.160 when really there's something a lot deeper.
00:20:31.800 And just to what Sid said before that,
00:20:34.560 that Justin Trudeau wore blackface,
00:20:36.440 and Pierre Polyev noted that,
00:20:38.560 yeah, I think that's pretty important to note,
00:20:40.280 that a guy who, again, we know Justin Trudeau's past.
00:20:44.140 We know that he was sort of a reckless ne'er-do-well
00:20:47.180 who didn't do a lot in the world
00:20:49.580 before he decided to get into federal politics.
00:20:51.640 He ran entirely on his name,
00:20:53.920 and the fact that he was a Trudeau,
00:20:55.200 and that he was the son of Pierre Trudeau,
00:20:57.040 and kind of used his celebrity power to weasel his way
00:21:00.380 into becoming the leader of this country,
00:21:02.440 and we've been stuck with him for the past nine years.
00:21:05.100 But I think it's perfectly fine and perfectly correct
00:21:08.300 to note that Justin Trudeau has this past.
00:21:10.820 Like, the way the journalist is talking about it is like,
00:21:12.940 how dare Pierre Polyev mention 1.00
00:21:14.920 that our prime minister used to just be like a total jerk 1.00
00:21:18.700 and like totally insensitive and kind of racist. 1.00
00:21:21.400 Like, we already knew that.
00:21:23.480 That came out before,
00:21:24.300 so Pierre Polyev shouldn't talk about it.
00:21:26.340 It's like, no, that's relevant.
00:21:28.300 Pierre Polyev can mention that all he wants.
00:21:31.020 Okay, I think this clip's almost over.
00:21:32.780 We'll just play the rest of it here.
00:21:34.360 He made a decision on publicly, Tam,
00:21:37.800 and there were also just pot shots towards Justin Trudeau.
00:21:41.040 Now, for those who've known Pierre Polyev a long time,
00:21:44.280 they will tell you this is Pierre Polyev.
00:21:46.140 The Pierre Polyev that will just go at you.
00:21:49.300 Now, the other side is,
00:21:50.620 the conservatives have spent a lot of money
00:21:51.960 trying to soften his image
00:21:53.340 because there are some people who believe
00:21:55.400 that's not electable.
00:21:56.220 I don't care what the polls say,
00:21:57.560 that is not electable in certain parts of the country.
00:22:00.100 So, just having like an analysis there
00:22:04.200 as to whether Pierre Polyev is allowed to be mean in politics,
00:22:07.780 whether he's allowed to take pot shots at the liberals.
00:22:11.120 Newsflash, it's politics.
00:22:12.740 Watch five minutes of question period
00:22:14.080 and you will just see pot shot after pot shot back and forth.
00:22:17.200 That's what these guys do for a living.
00:22:18.580 That's what we want them to do.
00:22:19.940 We want them to vehemently disagree and oppose each other.
00:22:24.480 I used to talk about this a lot on my show.
00:22:27.020 The thing that drove me crazy the most
00:22:30.380 when Aaron O'Toole was leader of the Conservative Party
00:22:32.860 was that he agreed with the liberals on too many things.
00:22:35.920 So, there were too many times
00:22:37.060 where there was unanimous consent in the House of Commons,
00:22:39.740 where everybody agreed,
00:22:41.040 where they passed these sweeping bills or these motions
00:22:43.400 and there was no opposition, no opposition at all.
00:22:46.420 And they would cheer that on
00:22:47.600 as if that was like a sign of progress in Canada.
00:22:50.040 No, no, no, we don't all agree in this country.
00:22:52.740 And the point of an opposition is to oppose the government.
00:22:56.000 And that is what Pierre Polyev is doing.
00:22:57.960 He happens to be very effective at it.
00:23:00.020 And that is why Canadians are so supportive of him.
00:23:03.420 We saw that poll, 40%, 42% to the liberals, 20%.
00:23:08.320 So, Canadians want that.
00:23:10.960 It's good for the country
00:23:12.100 when we have people opposing the government
00:23:14.540 and we have different views being represented in our parliament.
00:23:17.120 And yet, we have these journalists sort of hand-wringing
00:23:20.900 and feeling upset about it.
00:23:23.000 And like, how dare Pierre Polyev say mean things
00:23:25.660 to our prime minister,
00:23:27.000 using the euphemisms and using government talking points
00:23:31.000 to talk about the important issues in our country.
00:23:34.320 And, you know, this goes to a deeper problem.
00:23:36.280 So, like, what is really going on here?
00:23:38.280 What is the deeper concern with this bill,
00:23:40.880 with this censorship,
00:23:42.380 with Trudeau's new introduction of a surveillance state?
00:23:46.400 There's another story that came out this week
00:23:48.480 that I wanted to quickly mention and tie together
00:23:50.360 because this is a big story.
00:23:52.420 So, on Thursday, we learned,
00:23:53.760 it was sort of a bombshell report,
00:23:55.820 that the fired scientist from the Winnipeg lab
00:23:59.180 had, in fact, worked closely and covertly
00:24:02.680 with the Chinese government,
00:24:04.280 this according to a CSIS report.
00:24:06.820 So, basically, CSIS just finally confirmed
00:24:09.160 what we have all known for a very, very long time,
00:24:12.520 which is that these two scientists,
00:24:15.020 these two federal government employees
00:24:16.860 who were working in a microbiology lab,
00:24:19.480 national lab in Winnipeg,
00:24:20.840 they were escorted out of their jobs,
00:24:23.140 out of the lab in 2019,
00:24:24.800 and then they were fired in 2021.
00:24:27.160 We've known about this for a long time.
00:24:28.440 We've speculated that these were spies,
00:24:30.140 that these were people working with the communist regime.
00:24:33.800 Well, CSIS has basically just come right out
00:24:35.900 and confirmed that.
00:24:37.840 A huge story, incredibly important for Canadians
00:24:40.560 to know that this was happening on our grounds.
00:24:43.240 There's so many examples of sort of Chinese interference,
00:24:46.860 Chinese presence, communist presence,
00:24:49.100 the Chinese communist government, sorry,
00:24:50.780 not just Chinese,
00:24:51.660 but the Chinese communist government
00:24:53.580 having a presence in Canada,
00:24:55.880 being deeply sort of involved in our institutions,
00:24:59.380 having clandestine plans,
00:25:01.300 and this has just been confirmed.
00:25:03.740 But if you remember at the time
00:25:05.320 when the conservatives were asking these questions,
00:25:07.940 when Canadians were asking these questions,
00:25:09.620 I want to show you how Justin Trudeau
00:25:12.160 responded to those questions at the time.
00:25:15.420 What did he do?
00:25:16.420 Well, he basically accused anybody asking him questions
00:25:19.380 of, you guessed it, being racist.
00:25:22.000 This is Justin Trudeau's favorite play from his playbook.
00:25:25.120 If you ask him a question he doesn't want to answer,
00:25:27.180 he'll come up with a way to call you a racist.
00:25:30.360 Let's play this clip.
00:25:31.020 This is from May 26, 2021.
00:25:33.000 Will he commit to ending this research
00:25:36.840 and this cooperation with a regime
00:25:39.460 that not only doesn't have our interest in mind,
00:25:41.880 but actually wants to hurt Canada?
00:25:45.300 Honourable Prime Minister.
00:25:47.540 Mr. Speaker, yes.
00:25:49.000 From the beginning of my career onwards,
00:25:50.540 I have worked with many Chinese Canadians
00:25:52.860 and indeed had fundraisers with them.
00:25:54.800 The rise in anti-Asian racism we're seeing
00:25:57.040 over the past number of months
00:25:58.500 should be of concern to everyone.
00:26:00.280 I would recommend that the members of the Conservative Party,
00:26:03.060 in their zeal to make personal attacks,
00:26:05.600 not start to push too far into intolerance
00:26:08.560 towards Canadians of diverse origins.
00:26:11.100 We will continue to stand up
00:26:12.760 to defend Canadians' interests,
00:26:15.160 Canadian security.
00:26:16.600 We will continue to make sure
00:26:18.200 that we're doing everything we can
00:26:19.960 to keep Canadians safe
00:26:21.360 while participating in the global research community
00:26:24.880 and stand up for tolerance and diversity.
00:26:30.520 All about tolerance and diversity there
00:26:33.440 for the Prime Minister.
00:26:34.360 So if you so much as ask about
00:26:36.400 the scientists who were escorted out of a lab
00:26:40.160 right before COVID hit,
00:26:42.060 and then later we learn
00:26:43.700 that they were actually communist spies,
00:26:45.700 but if you even ask about that,
00:26:47.060 it's because you, what did you say,
00:26:49.760 have a zeal for personal attacks
00:26:51.600 and you're engaging in anti-Asian racism?
00:26:54.640 So that's Justin Trudeau's first favorite play
00:26:57.200 out of the playbook,
00:26:58.360 accuse your opponents of being racist.
00:27:01.040 The second thing that Justin Trudeau does,
00:27:02.440 and we saw him doing that just the other day,
00:27:05.040 was that he blames conspiracy theories,
00:27:08.620 he blames independent media,
00:27:10.120 he blames what he calls social media drivers.
00:27:12.940 This case, it was talking about
00:27:14.160 the declining trust in the media,
00:27:15.760 and he truly believes that the only reason
00:27:18.460 that he's behind in the polls
00:27:20.060 and the only reason that Canadians
00:27:21.260 don't like the media anymore
00:27:23.080 is because they're being fooled
00:27:24.920 and they're being tricked by conspiracy theorists.
00:27:27.940 So that's Justin Trudeau's second favorite play.
00:27:30.580 And his third one,
00:27:32.140 as we'll see in this clip,
00:27:33.340 so this is from back in October,
00:27:35.180 Justin Trudeau's dealing with
00:27:36.480 a sort of heckler on the street
00:27:38.320 who confronts him and just says,
00:27:39.960 you're ruining the country.
00:27:41.340 What does Justin Trudeau say in response?
00:27:43.280 You must be listening to Vladimir Putin.
00:27:45.700 Yes, that's what he said.
00:27:46.860 Let's play this clip.
00:27:49.000 Criminal!
00:27:49.920 You're new to me, Finn!
00:27:51.160 Thank you for everything you need. 0.98
00:27:52.240 Look at his freaking buck team, bro. 0.99
00:27:53.660 Look at his buck team. 0.99
00:27:54.520 Hi.
00:27:55.000 Pleasure to see you as well.
00:27:56.260 Hey there.
00:27:56.660 How you doing?
00:27:57.040 I'm not shaking your hand, boy. 1.00
00:27:57.980 You're a fucking piece of shit, man. 1.00
00:27:59.220 Why's that, sir? 1.00
00:27:59.900 You fucked up the entire country. 0.99
00:28:01.560 You got our buddy over there. 1.00
00:28:02.820 How did I mess up this country?
00:28:05.020 Can anybody afford a home?
00:28:06.300 In this day,
00:28:06.880 charge your people carbon tax.
00:28:08.500 You got nine V8s here idling
00:28:10.880 for 30 minutes.
00:28:12.680 Your carbon footprint is increasing.
00:28:14.740 We're getting charged for what?
00:28:15.960 You know what we're doing with the carbon tax?
00:28:16.660 It's not stopping.
00:28:17.600 We're putting a price on pollution
00:28:19.060 and we're returning it to families like yours.
00:28:21.000 I don't think so.
00:28:21.720 You're sending it over to Ukraine, right? 0.91
00:28:23.460 You don't know.
00:28:23.780 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:24.540 You send it over to the guy that you were
00:28:25.960 that slaughtered his own country. 0.69
00:28:27.360 You've been listening to Putin, have you?
00:28:29.200 Putin?
00:28:29.660 No, no.
00:28:31.660 You've been listening to Putin, haven't you?
00:28:33.660 I mean, I'm not a big fan of vulgar language
00:28:37.440 and heckling someone,
00:28:38.960 but there's a patriot out on the street,
00:28:41.640 common sense guy,
00:28:42.920 pointing out to the prime minister
00:28:44.060 some true facts about the carbon tax,
00:28:46.760 about the hypocrisy of having all these SUVs
00:28:49.280 outside idling,
00:28:50.520 or we're paying more in carbon tax.
00:28:52.260 Trudeau tries to go into his,
00:28:53.880 basically like his list of lies
00:28:56.280 about how the carbon tax is actually good for you
00:28:58.740 and you actually get money,
00:28:59.640 which is not factually true.
00:29:01.360 And then the guy says,
00:29:02.800 you're sending money to Ukraine.
00:29:04.060 And he's like, oh, you're listening to Putin.
00:29:05.640 You're a conspiracy theorist.
00:29:07.040 The only reason you don't like me
00:29:08.480 is because you're listening to the enemy. 1.00
00:29:11.020 You're basically a traitor.
00:29:12.000 So what does this all say? 0.98
00:29:13.700 Justin Trudeau, we know this.
00:29:14.940 He wants to silent his opponents.
00:29:16.760 He wants to divide Canadians.
00:29:18.340 He wants to separate us into little groups
00:29:20.240 and pit us against each other and divide us.
00:29:23.260 He truly believes that people who oppose him
00:29:25.780 are propagandists or conspiracy theorists
00:29:28.060 or just flat out traitors.
00:29:29.740 And now he is weaponizing his ideology into legislation.
00:29:34.060 He wants to make it illegal for you to disagree with him,
00:29:38.360 not just illegal.
00:29:39.320 He wants you to pay a $70,000 fine
00:29:41.400 and face life in prison for saying or thinking the wrong thing.
00:29:46.300 This puts a chill on freedom of expression in our country
00:29:49.500 because even if you are thinking about posting something,
00:29:53.920 you might have a second thought because of this.
00:29:56.180 You don't know exactly where the line is
00:29:57.560 because we don't have definitions for any of these things.
00:29:59.760 Hate speech, propaganda, advocating genocide.
00:30:02.160 We don't have definitions for them.
00:30:03.800 We know those words have been taken out of context
00:30:06.400 and manipulated over the last several years
00:30:08.980 by the sort of Orwellian language police.
00:30:11.600 Like what does the word genocide even mean anymore?
00:30:14.100 People get accused of committing genocide
00:30:15.960 for all kinds of reasons, for all kinds of things.
00:30:18.780 We hear that there's a trans genocide
00:30:20.300 or there was a First Nations genocide at residential schools.
00:30:23.000 These words don't even have meanings anymore.
00:30:25.540 But the idea is that you can face fines
00:30:27.960 and potentially go to jail just for saying the wrong thing.
00:30:32.820 If Canada were a free country with a free press,
00:30:36.240 the media would be ringing the alarm
00:30:37.820 over this assault on our freedoms,
00:30:40.640 on our God-given right to freedom of speech,
00:30:42.940 the most important of all freedoms.
00:30:44.420 But sadly, Canada is not a free country.
00:30:46.920 We do not have a free press.
00:30:48.040 We have a media ecosystem that has been bought
00:30:50.240 and paid for by the Trudeau government, by the liberals.
00:30:53.960 And so the media, they don't do anything
00:30:55.700 or they do the opposite.
00:30:57.040 They cheer on Justin Trudeau.
00:30:58.660 They applaud his efforts to censor opinions
00:31:00.960 that they don't like.
00:31:01.720 And they gaslight you by telling you
00:31:04.020 that it's all about protecting safety
00:31:05.860 and protecting children.
00:31:07.500 Well, it isn't.
00:31:08.520 And this is more than just fake news.
00:31:09.820 This is a coordinated attack on our basic
00:31:12.260 and God-given freedoms.
00:31:13.780 And every Canadian should oppose this bill
00:31:16.600 for those reasons.
00:31:18.040 All right, thank you so much for tuning in.
00:31:19.520 I hope you have a great weekend.
00:31:20.800 It's Fake News Friday.
00:31:21.460 I'm Candice Malcolm,
00:31:22.240 and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:31:23.560 I hope you have an impact on this bill.
00:31:27.520 We'll see you next week.
00:31:28.320 We'll see you next week.
00:31:28.620 And we'll see you next week.
00:31:29.160 We'll see you next week.
00:31:29.440 We'll see you next week,
00:31:30.640 we'll see you next week.
00:31:31.440 All right.
00:31:31.820 You
