Juno News - Trudeau dismisses pro-freedom protesters as “angry, racist and misogynistic”

00:00:00.160 Tens of thousands of Canadians show up to protest against forced vaccines in Montreal,

00:00:04.400 things get ugly at a Trudeau rally, and Justin Trudeau uses this all to his advantage.

00:00:08.640 I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:15.440 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you had a wonderful,

00:00:18.800 long weekend with your family. I hope you had a great summer as well. Summer is over

00:00:22.800 and we're now into the final stretch of the campaign. So conventional wisdom sort of goes

00:00:28.000 that Canadians don't really pay attention to politics in between elections. And even during

00:00:32.240 elections, they don't really pay attention until the final two weeks or so. So we've been hearing

00:00:37.040 Liberals say all along that the campaign doesn't really start until after Labor Day. And that is

00:00:42.400 when the Liberals are going to start unleashing their real campaign. Well, now that Labor Day is

00:00:46.880 over, we are starting to see the Liberals unleash their real campaign. And let me just tell you,

00:00:51.680 the Liberals have gone negative and I mean really negative. They're throwing the kitchen sink at

00:00:56.160 Aaron O'Toole to see what sticks. They're throwing everything at him. And they're really desperately

00:01:00.880 trying to throw the Conservatives off their game. They're throwing all the typical attacks against

00:01:05.360 Conservatives that we've been seeing for a very long time. So first it was abortion, then private

00:01:09.920 healthcare. They started calling Aaron O'Toole anti-science and now they're claiming that he'd allow

00:01:14.880 assault weapons back onto Canadian streets. Well, this is the same line of attack that the Liberals have

00:01:20.720 been using against the Conservatives for decades, literally decades. It's pure desperation on behalf

00:01:26.160 of the Liberals and they're unleashing what is a really heavily negative campaign. But let me just

00:01:32.400 say heavily negative campaigns could just work in Justin Trudeau's favor. Look, Trudeau doesn't want to

00:01:38.960 run a campaign against a moderate politician like Aaron O'Toole. He doesn't. He wants to run against

00:01:44.080 an extremist. But since Aaron O'Toole is not an extremist, Justin Trudeau has to invent one. Because

00:01:49.280 Trudeau cannot run a campaign where the focus is on himself. Trudeau can't run a campaign and win a

00:01:54.880 campaign that focuses on his own record, on his ability to manage the country, or for his vision

00:02:00.320 for Canada. He can only win a campaign where he demonizes and divides. And that's why he's writing

00:02:06.000 off the estimated 50,000 Canadians who rallied in the streets of Montreal over the weekend to protest

00:02:12.080 against vaccine mandates. Just look at these crowds. Look at these people. All of these people

00:02:17.440 showing up in Montreal, of all places, to protest against medical tyranny. These are Canadians of all

00:02:22.960 walks of life, of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, who came out to protest against heavy-handed

00:02:28.400 government decisions in the name of medicine, in the name of science. These are tens of thousands of

00:02:32.880 freedom-loving Canadians who are using their voice, using their right to peaceful assembly, to say enough

00:02:39.120 is enough. This is an incredible thing and God bless these Canadians. But instead of wall-to-wall coverage,

00:02:45.760 instead of journalists on the ground trying to get to know these protesters, understanding what they're

00:02:50.560 about, telling their stories, and being inspired by the number of people who came out to join this

00:02:56.240 movement, instead the media did one of two things. They either completely ignored it or they demonized

00:03:01.760 these people as anti-science, extremists, far-right, or anti-vaxxers. Now just think about this for a second.

00:03:08.560 When there was large protests against climate change, you know, the ones that were led by Greta,

00:03:13.040 the angry teenage environmentalist, a couple of years ago, the global media applauded her.

00:03:17.840 Her anger, her paranoia, her catastrophic alarmism all made her a global celebrity. 0.53

00:03:24.000 A few years later, the exact same thing happened with Black Lives Matter.

00:03:27.360 Many Americans were angry at the perception of police brutality and specifically police brutality

00:03:32.640 against Black people. While the far left used this anger to launch a social movement that led to

00:03:38.000 countless police departments being defunded, which then resulted in a huge spike in crime. But again,

00:03:44.400 the legacy media were there to cheerlead, to insist that the riots and looting were actually just

00:03:49.360 peaceful protests and to cheer on these large angry protesters. And then once again, this past summer

00:03:55.280 here in Canada, we saw over 50 churches get vandalized and burnt to the ground. Meanwhile, the legacy media

00:04:02.240 and far left journalists and activists told us that this was just a reckoning with our own history,

00:04:06.880 that the destruction of sacred religious places wasn't really violence, and that the burning of

00:04:11.600 these churches was actually understandable. Understandable. That was what Trudeau's former

00:04:15.920 top advisor, Gerald Butts, the guy who resigned in shame after trying to coerce Attorney General Jody

00:04:21.680 Wilson-Raybould to interfere in a criminal investigation against the Liberals' friends,

00:04:26.240 SNC Lavalong, that guy, the guy that resigned, well, he said that it was understandable that the

00:04:31.200 churches were being burned down. He thought it was understandable for a group of far left protesters

00:04:36.640 to burn down churches on First Nations reserves, indigenous churches attended by First Nations 0.63

00:04:41.840 people. He thought that that was understandable in the name of reconciliation. That's just how

00:04:46.400 progressive he is. Well, all this anger and all these protests are promoted and cheerleaded by the

00:04:51.680 legacy media when the cause is on the far left. But now that the large movement is calling for

00:04:57.280 freedom, now that the protests are calling for an end to the lockdowns, an end to the medical

00:05:01.120 tyranny, well, of course, the tune in the media has changed. So rather than use this as an

00:05:06.560 opportunity for a reflection or a national conversation, the way that the large protests,

00:05:10.640 when it came to climate change or Black Lives Matter or residential schools, how those all led

00:05:15.760 to social movements. Instead, when the large crowds are calling for freedom, they get demonized in the

00:05:21.600 media, either ignored or demonized. And listen to this, this is a way that Justin Trudeau describes these

00:05:27.360 protesters. Yes, there is a small fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn't believe in

00:05:39.600 science, that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks. But Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians,

00:05:55.680 are not represented by them. And I know, will not allow those voices, those special interest groups,

00:06:07.280 those protesters who can, I don't even want to call them protesters, those anti-vaxxer mobs.

00:06:14.240 Did you hear that? He doesn't even think these Canadians deserve to be called protesters because

00:06:20.480 that's what, too complimentary? He would rather just call them every negative name in the book,

00:06:24.960 every name that he's been calling conservatives for years and years and years. Of course,

00:06:29.360 according to the media, according to people like Justin Trudeau, when protesters on the left are

00:06:33.280 angry, it's justified, it's excused, and it's even celebrated. But when it's protesters who are on the

00:06:38.880 right or protesters who just want freedom, it's because they're racist and misogynistic. Oh, and if

00:06:44.800 you don't agree with forced vaccinations, even for people who don't want them, well, that's because you

00:06:49.680 must hate science. That is Trudeau's politicized version of science, where his opinion is the

00:06:55.520 science, capital T, capital S, the science. Now, for the second weekend in a row, things got tense,

00:07:01.680 things got a little ugly at a Trudeau rally. This is what happened in London, Ontario. So you can see

00:07:07.440 the People's Party of Canada, the PPC, their activists showed up in drones to boo the liberal

00:07:12.880 leader and give him a piece of their mind. Trudeau is widely hated by Canadians. In fact,

00:07:18.000 polling showed a full 41% of Canadians strongly dislike Justin Trudeau. Well, here's what that

00:07:24.800 dislike looks like. People don't like Trudeau, that's perfectly legitimate. This sort of protest

00:07:47.920 is perfectly legitimate. Regardless, here is what Trudeau's brain trust, Gerald Butts, the same guy who

00:07:53.600 said it was understandable to burn down churches. Here he is pushing a bizarre conspiracy theory that

00:07:59.600 these PPC protesters are actually just stealth conservative disruptors trying to swing things in

00:08:05.680 Aaron O'Toole's favor. So here's his tweet. He says, it's amazing how these protesters always show up to

00:08:11.840 disrupt Trudeau events in Southern Ontario writings that are Liberal Party, Conservative Party fights.

00:08:17.280 And then he has this sort of confused face. Right. So Gerald Butts is suggesting here that what PPC

00:08:22.960 supporters really want is an Aaron O'Toole government. Has Gerald Butts ever spoken to a PPC supporter?

00:08:29.120 Has he ever read their comments online? Has he ever been exposed to PPC at all? Because the last thing

00:08:34.320 that a PPC supporter would want would be for Aaron O'Toole to win. That's not what they want. That's not what

00:08:39.600 they're trying to do. It's hard to fathom that this guy once got paid to give his opinion to anyone,

00:08:45.040 let alone the Prime Minister of Canada. His bad takes got even worse when he started accusing my

00:08:50.000 colleagues over at the Toronto Sun of, well, get this, starting a fire. He writes, it's going to be

00:08:56.000 special watching Sun post media people like this guy and Laurie Goldstein speed away from the fire they

00:09:01.840 spent the last decade lighting. This is a guy that said lighting First Nation churches was

00:09:06.480 understandable. What a fool. While things truly got a little ugly at that protest in London, Ontario, 1.00

00:09:12.080 as Trudeau was getting on the bus, someone in the crowd started throwing gravel or pebbles

00:09:17.280 or some kind of a debris at Trudeau. Here's what that looked like.

00:09:27.760 Now it's hard to overstate. This is incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid, stupid, stupid behavior 1.00

00:09:34.080 in more ways than one. But first of all, to the idiot who threw something in Trudeau's direction, 1.00

00:09:38.960 you are a disgrace. This is absolutely no way to behave in a civilized society and everyone out 1.00

00:09:44.000 there condemns you. Everyone, everyone condemns you. Second, your idiotic actions allowed Trudeau to take

00:09:49.920 the high road and pretend that this campaign is about you, about the protesters and not about him. 1.00

00:09:55.520 Now, let me just state this again. This is exactly what Trudeau wants. This is what the media want.

00:09:59.760 They want to be talking about this. They want to be talking about angry far-right protesters who

00:10:04.960 somehow pose a threat to the country. They don't want to be talking about Trudeau. They don't want

00:10:07.760 to be talking about his record. They want to be talking about the fringe far-right. And so when

00:10:12.240 idiots like the guy who threw pebbles at the liberal leader behave this way, it allows Trudeau to play the 1.00

00:10:17.120 good guy, to play the hero, and to stand up for the people around him, including the journalists who 1.00

00:10:21.920 are cheering him on. This allows him to change the narrative in his favor. And that's exactly what he did.

00:10:26.960 And this allowed him to make this speech.

00:10:30.240 Let me be very clear and state the obvious first and foremost. It is absolutely unacceptable

00:10:39.280 that people be throwing things and endangering others at a political rally. There were volunteers

00:10:46.720 and supporters. There are police officers there to keep everyone safe. There were journalists such as

00:10:53.040 yourselves doing a really important job informing Canadians of what's going on in this election

00:11:00.800 and some of the tensions that are out there. Nobody should be doing their jobs

00:11:06.720 under the threat or under the threats of violence or acts that put them in danger.

00:11:13.520 That's absolutely unacceptable. But it's not just the political rallies that this is happening.

00:11:21.120 There are healthcare workers across the country who are getting hassled and intimidated

00:11:27.840 and bullied as they're going into work to keep people safe and alive. There are store clerks

00:11:37.280 and waitresses and people going out there around their daily lives getting yelled at 1.00

00:11:43.280 and pushed around for wearing masks for being vaccinated. That's not how we do things in Canada.

00:11:50.720 And 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

00:12:07.600 who are not respecting the basic science and the basic decency that Canadians have rightly come to expect from each other.

00:12:18.000 This is not who we are as a country. And I will continue to stand up to defend journalists, police officers, healthcare workers,

00:12:29.600 anyone in this country who has done the right thing, gotten themselves vaccinated, wants to get back to normal.

00:12:36.880 Nobody should be getting that kind of intimidation or endangerment that these angry mobs are putting forward.

00:12:51.200 I said this on the show last week, but this is Trudeau's favorite iteration of himself. This is what Trudeau loves to do.

00:12:56.880 He 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.

00:13:02.320 He loves to be able to just make a little shout out to the journalists, the people who are watching the speech,

00:13:06.960 make sure that they know that he's on their side, that he loves them, that he wants to protect them.

00:13:11.840 Make all those journalists who are watching feel warm and fuzzy towards the prime minister.

00:13:16.160 That is what he wants. That is what they want. And of course, lo and behold, look at this headline.

00:13:21.280 Look 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.

00:13:26.000 He doesn't want to be talking about his ethics violation. He doesn't want to talk about the debt.

00:13:29.280 He doesn't want to talk about his pandemic vanity election, and he doesn't want to be talking about his failing campaign.

00:13:35.040 He wants to be pitting Canadians against each other. He wants to be running a divisive campaign

00:13:39.760 that he writes off part of the population as being anti-science, anti-vaxxers, and he wants headlines like this one in the CBC.

00:13:46.480 Look at this headline. Does this surprise anyone? Goes exactly with Trudeau's narrative. It says,

00:13:51.680 We will not let them win, Trudeau says after being pelted with gravel during campaign stop.

00:13:56.080 Liberal leader says he's inspired by frontline workers. Now, we know that could have been written

00:14:01.200 by a partisan liberal that could have been a liberal news release, but instead it is a CBC news story

00:14:06.320 that will be viewed by millions of Canadians. So we know if you give Trudeau an inch, if you give his

00:14:11.760 friends in the legacy media an inch, they will take a mile. And let me tell you this, they would much, much,

00:14:17.680 much rather be talking about one unhinged protester who threw a rock at Justin Trudeau

00:14:22.720 than any other issue on this campaign. I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
