Tens of thousands of Canadians show up to protest against forced vaccines in Montreal, things get ugly at a Trudeau rally, and Justin Trudeau uses this all to his advantage. Candace Malan explains why the Liberals are throwing everything at Aaron O'Toole to see what sticks.
00:00:00.160Tens of thousands of Canadians show up to protest against forced vaccines in Montreal,
00:00:04.400things get ugly at a Trudeau rally, and Justin Trudeau uses this all to his advantage.
00:00:08.640I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:15.440Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you had a wonderful,
00:00:18.800long weekend with your family. I hope you had a great summer as well. Summer is over
00:00:22.800and we're now into the final stretch of the campaign. So conventional wisdom sort of goes
00:00:28.000that Canadians don't really pay attention to politics in between elections. And even during
00:00:32.240elections, they don't really pay attention until the final two weeks or so. So we've been hearing
00:00:37.040Liberals say all along that the campaign doesn't really start until after Labor Day. And that is
00:00:42.400when the Liberals are going to start unleashing their real campaign. Well, now that Labor Day is
00:00:46.880over, we are starting to see the Liberals unleash their real campaign. And let me just tell you,
00:00:51.680the Liberals have gone negative and I mean really negative. They're throwing the kitchen sink at
00:00:56.160Aaron O'Toole to see what sticks. They're throwing everything at him. And they're really desperately
00:01:00.880trying to throw the Conservatives off their game. They're throwing all the typical attacks against
00:01:05.360Conservatives that we've been seeing for a very long time. So first it was abortion, then private
00:01:09.920healthcare. They started calling Aaron O'Toole anti-science and now they're claiming that he'd allow
00:01:14.880assault weapons back onto Canadian streets. Well, this is the same line of attack that the Liberals have
00:01:20.720been using against the Conservatives for decades, literally decades. It's pure desperation on behalf
00:01:26.160of the Liberals and they're unleashing what is a really heavily negative campaign. But let me just
00:01:32.400say heavily negative campaigns could just work in Justin Trudeau's favor. Look, Trudeau doesn't want to
00:01:38.960run a campaign against a moderate politician like Aaron O'Toole. He doesn't. He wants to run against
00:01:44.080an extremist. But since Aaron O'Toole is not an extremist, Justin Trudeau has to invent one. Because
00:01:49.280Trudeau cannot run a campaign where the focus is on himself. Trudeau can't run a campaign and win a
00:01:54.880campaign that focuses on his own record, on his ability to manage the country, or for his vision
00:02:00.320for Canada. He can only win a campaign where he demonizes and divides. And that's why he's writing
00:02:06.000off the estimated 50,000 Canadians who rallied in the streets of Montreal over the weekend to protest
00:02:12.080against vaccine mandates. Just look at these crowds. Look at these people. All of these people
00:02:17.440showing up in Montreal, of all places, to protest against medical tyranny. These are Canadians of all
00:02:22.960walks of life, of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, who came out to protest against heavy-handed
00:02:28.400government decisions in the name of medicine, in the name of science. These are tens of thousands of
00:02:32.880freedom-loving Canadians who are using their voice, using their right to peaceful assembly, to say enough
00:02:39.120is enough. This is an incredible thing and God bless these Canadians. But instead of wall-to-wall coverage,
00:02:45.760instead of journalists on the ground trying to get to know these protesters, understanding what they're
00:02:50.560about, telling their stories, and being inspired by the number of people who came out to join this
00:02:56.240movement, instead the media did one of two things. They either completely ignored it or they demonized
00:03:01.760these people as anti-science, extremists, far-right, or anti-vaxxers. Now just think about this for a second.
00:03:08.560When there was large protests against climate change, you know, the ones that were led by Greta,
00:03:13.040the angry teenage environmentalist, a couple of years ago, the global media applauded her.
00:03:17.840Her anger, her paranoia, her catastrophic alarmism all made her a global celebrity.0.53
00:03:24.000A few years later, the exact same thing happened with Black Lives Matter.
00:03:27.360Many Americans were angry at the perception of police brutality and specifically police brutality
00:03:32.640against Black people. While the far left used this anger to launch a social movement that led to
00:03:38.000countless police departments being defunded, which then resulted in a huge spike in crime. But again,
00:03:44.400the legacy media were there to cheerlead, to insist that the riots and looting were actually just
00:03:49.360peaceful protests and to cheer on these large angry protesters. And then once again, this past summer
00:03:55.280here in Canada, we saw over 50 churches get vandalized and burnt to the ground. Meanwhile, the legacy media
00:04:02.240and far left journalists and activists told us that this was just a reckoning with our own history,
00:04:06.880that the destruction of sacred religious places wasn't really violence, and that the burning of
00:04:11.600these churches was actually understandable. Understandable. That was what Trudeau's former
00:04:15.920top advisor, Gerald Butts, the guy who resigned in shame after trying to coerce Attorney General Jody
00:04:21.680Wilson-Raybould to interfere in a criminal investigation against the Liberals' friends,
00:04:26.240SNC Lavalong, that guy, the guy that resigned, well, he said that it was understandable that the
00:04:31.200churches were being burned down. He thought it was understandable for a group of far left protesters
00:04:36.640to burn down churches on First Nations reserves, indigenous churches attended by First Nations0.63
00:04:41.840people. He thought that that was understandable in the name of reconciliation. That's just how
00:04:46.400progressive he is. Well, all this anger and all these protests are promoted and cheerleaded by the
00:04:51.680legacy media when the cause is on the far left. But now that the large movement is calling for
00:04:57.280freedom, now that the protests are calling for an end to the lockdowns, an end to the medical
00:05:01.120tyranny, well, of course, the tune in the media has changed. So rather than use this as an
00:05:06.560opportunity for a reflection or a national conversation, the way that the large protests,
00:05:10.640when it came to climate change or Black Lives Matter or residential schools, how those all led
00:05:15.760to social movements. Instead, when the large crowds are calling for freedom, they get demonized in the
00:05:21.600media, either ignored or demonized. And listen to this, this is a way that Justin Trudeau describes these
00:05:27.360protesters. Yes, there is a small fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn't believe in
00:05:39.600science, that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks. But Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians,
00:05:55.680are not represented by them. And I know, will not allow those voices, those special interest groups,
00:06:07.280those protesters who can, I don't even want to call them protesters, those anti-vaxxer mobs.
00:06:14.240Did you hear that? He doesn't even think these Canadians deserve to be called protesters because
00:06:20.480that's what, too complimentary? He would rather just call them every negative name in the book,
00:06:24.960every name that he's been calling conservatives for years and years and years. Of course,
00:06:29.360according to the media, according to people like Justin Trudeau, when protesters on the left are
00:06:33.280angry, it's justified, it's excused, and it's even celebrated. But when it's protesters who are on the
00:06:38.880right or protesters who just want freedom, it's because they're racist and misogynistic. Oh, and if
00:06:44.800you don't agree with forced vaccinations, even for people who don't want them, well, that's because you
00:06:49.680must hate science. That is Trudeau's politicized version of science, where his opinion is the
00:06:55.520science, capital T, capital S, the science. Now, for the second weekend in a row, things got tense,
00:07:01.680things got a little ugly at a Trudeau rally. This is what happened in London, Ontario. So you can see
00:07:07.440the People's Party of Canada, the PPC, their activists showed up in drones to boo the liberal
00:07:12.880leader and give him a piece of their mind. Trudeau is widely hated by Canadians. In fact,
00:07:18.000polling showed a full 41% of Canadians strongly dislike Justin Trudeau. Well, here's what that
00:07:24.800dislike looks like. People don't like Trudeau, that's perfectly legitimate. This sort of protest
00:07:47.920is perfectly legitimate. Regardless, here is what Trudeau's brain trust, Gerald Butts, the same guy who
00:07:53.600said it was understandable to burn down churches. Here he is pushing a bizarre conspiracy theory that
00:07:59.600these PPC protesters are actually just stealth conservative disruptors trying to swing things in
00:08:05.680Aaron O'Toole's favor. So here's his tweet. He says, it's amazing how these protesters always show up to
00:08:11.840disrupt Trudeau events in Southern Ontario writings that are Liberal Party, Conservative Party fights.
00:08:17.280And then he has this sort of confused face. Right. So Gerald Butts is suggesting here that what PPC
00:08:22.960supporters really want is an Aaron O'Toole government. Has Gerald Butts ever spoken to a PPC supporter?
00:08:29.120Has he ever read their comments online? Has he ever been exposed to PPC at all? Because the last thing
00:08:34.320that a PPC supporter would want would be for Aaron O'Toole to win. That's not what they want. That's not what
00:08:39.600they're trying to do. It's hard to fathom that this guy once got paid to give his opinion to anyone,
00:08:45.040let alone the Prime Minister of Canada. His bad takes got even worse when he started accusing my
00:08:50.000colleagues over at the Toronto Sun of, well, get this, starting a fire. He writes, it's going to be
00:08:56.000special watching Sun post media people like this guy and Laurie Goldstein speed away from the fire they
00:09:01.840spent the last decade lighting. This is a guy that said lighting First Nation churches was
00:09:06.480understandable. What a fool. While things truly got a little ugly at that protest in London, Ontario,
00:09:12.080as Trudeau was getting on the bus, someone in the crowd started throwing gravel or pebbles
00:09:17.280or some kind of a debris at Trudeau. Here's what that looked like.
00:09:27.760Now it's hard to overstate. This is incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid, stupid, stupid behavior
00:09:34.080in more ways than one. But first of all, to the idiot who threw something in Trudeau's direction,
00:09:38.960you are a disgrace. This is absolutely no way to behave in a civilized society and everyone out
00:09:44.000there condemns you. Everyone, everyone condemns you. Second, your idiotic actions allowed Trudeau to take
00:09:49.920the high road and pretend that this campaign is about you, about the protesters and not about him.
00:09:55.520Now, let me just state this again. This is exactly what Trudeau wants. This is what the media want.
00:09:59.760They want to be talking about this. They want to be talking about angry far-right protesters who
00:10:04.960somehow pose a threat to the country. They don't want to be talking about Trudeau. They don't want
00:10:07.760to be talking about his record. They want to be talking about the fringe far-right. And so when
00:10:12.240idiots like the guy who threw pebbles at the liberal leader behave this way, it allows Trudeau to play the
00:10:17.120good guy, to play the hero, and to stand up for the people around him, including the journalists who
00:10:21.920are cheering him on. This allows him to change the narrative in his favor. And that's exactly what he did.
00:10:26.960And this allowed him to make this speech.
00:10:30.240Let me be very clear and state the obvious first and foremost. It is absolutely unacceptable
00:10:39.280that people be throwing things and endangering others at a political rally. There were volunteers
00:10:46.720and supporters. There are police officers there to keep everyone safe. There were journalists such as
00:10:53.040yourselves doing a really important job informing Canadians of what's going on in this election
00:11:00.800and some of the tensions that are out there. Nobody should be doing their jobs
00:11:06.720under the threat or under the threats of violence or acts that put them in danger.
00:11:13.520That's absolutely unacceptable. But it's not just the political rallies that this is happening.
00:11:21.120There are healthcare workers across the country who are getting hassled and intimidated
00:11:27.840and bullied as they're going into work to keep people safe and alive. There are store clerks
00:11:37.280and waitresses and people going out there around their daily lives getting yelled at1.00
00:11:43.280and pushed around for wearing masks for being vaccinated. That's not how we do things in Canada.
00:11:50.720And quite frankly, as I continue to campaign, I am inspired by those people who continue to do the right thing in the face of anti-vaxxer mobs
00:12:07.600who are not respecting the basic science and the basic decency that Canadians have rightly come to expect from each other.
00:12:18.000This is not who we are as a country. And I will continue to stand up to defend journalists, police officers, healthcare workers,
00:12:29.600anyone in this country who has done the right thing, gotten themselves vaccinated, wants to get back to normal.
00:12:36.880Nobody should be getting that kind of intimidation or endangerment that these angry mobs are putting forward.
00:12:51.200I said this on the show last week, but this is Trudeau's favorite iteration of himself. This is what Trudeau loves to do.
00:12:56.880He loves to be able to take the high road. He loves to be able to defend the little people, say that he's inspired by the little people.
00:13:02.320He loves to be able to just make a little shout out to the journalists, the people who are watching the speech,
00:13:06.960make sure that they know that he's on their side, that he loves them, that he wants to protect them.
00:13:11.840Make all those journalists who are watching feel warm and fuzzy towards the prime minister.
00:13:16.160That is what he wants. That is what they want. And of course, lo and behold, look at this headline.
00:13:21.280Look at what the CBC read. This is exactly what Trudeau wants to be talking about. He doesn't want to be talking about his record in office.
00:13:26.000He doesn't want to be talking about his ethics violation. He doesn't want to talk about the debt.
00:13:29.280He doesn't want to talk about his pandemic vanity election, and he doesn't want to be talking about his failing campaign.
00:13:35.040He wants to be pitting Canadians against each other. He wants to be running a divisive campaign
00:13:39.760that he writes off part of the population as being anti-science, anti-vaxxers, and he wants headlines like this one in the CBC.
00:13:46.480Look at this headline. Does this surprise anyone? Goes exactly with Trudeau's narrative. It says,
00:13:51.680We will not let them win, Trudeau says after being pelted with gravel during campaign stop.
00:13:56.080Liberal leader says he's inspired by frontline workers. Now, we know that could have been written
00:14:01.200by a partisan liberal that could have been a liberal news release, but instead it is a CBC news story
00:14:06.320that will be viewed by millions of Canadians. So we know if you give Trudeau an inch, if you give his
00:14:11.760friends in the legacy media an inch, they will take a mile. And let me tell you this, they would much, much,
00:14:17.680much rather be talking about one unhinged protester who threw a rock at Justin Trudeau
00:14:22.720than any other issue on this campaign. I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
