00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau continues to divide the country, lash out at the unvaccinated,
00:00:04.560 and blame everybody but himself for the latest lockdowns.
00:00:07.400 I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:13.820 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast.
00:00:17.320 And so today I'm going to focus on our prime minister
00:00:20.280 and the way that he is handling himself during what is the latest round of lockdowns.
00:00:25.300 It's like it's two years all over again.
00:00:27.120 We're back to 14 days to flatten the curve.
00:00:29.580 And rather than have a prime minister who is leading the way, inspiring Canadians,
00:00:34.420 trying to justify and explain the situation,
00:00:37.160 and really just showing his competence and his compassion for his fellow countrymen during this difficult time,
00:00:43.140 instead of acting like a normal person and a responsible leader that you would want during a pandemic,
00:00:48.400 Justin Trudeau instead is basically acting like a spoiled brat. 0.50
00:00:51.600 He's acting like a baby, and he continues to blame everybody but himself,
00:00:56.000 particularly as we've seen over and over again since the election,
00:00:59.160 really before then.
00:01:00.260 But his rhetoric and his hatred and his anger towards the unvaccinated is just out of control right now.
00:01:06.820 It's like the volume is up at 100%, more than 100%, and he is just really becoming unhinged.
00:01:14.040 So here is the latest example.
00:01:15.760 On Wednesday during a briefing, this is what Justin Trudeau had to say about the latest lockdowns.
00:01:20.460 And here he is, once again, not just blaming the unvaccinated for the lockdowns, for the pandemic,
00:01:26.380 as he's been doing over and over, but now he's blaming the unvaccinated for the fact that Canada's healthcare system
00:01:32.540 can't handle everything that's going on.
00:01:34.700 So the fact that people aren't having the proper cancer treatment, aren't being able to have elective surgeries,
00:01:39.360 all of this is because of the unvaccinated, according to Justin Trudeau.
00:01:43.340 So here is what that looked like.
00:01:45.140 When people are seeing cancer treatments and elective surgeries put off
00:01:51.040 because beds are filled with people who chose not to get vaccinated, they're frustrated.
00:01:56.580 When people see that we're in lockdowns or serious public health restrictions right now
00:02:04.100 because the risk posed to all of us by unvaccinated people, people get angry.
00:02:12.100 So as you can see, it is just so black and white for our prime minister.
00:02:15.380 Everything, everything that's happening, everything that's wrong with your life,
00:02:18.500 everything that's going bad in your life, you can just squarely place the blame on one group of people,
00:02:23.580 the unvaccinated.
00:02:24.400 This is a kind of despicable othering that we see, that we've been warned about throughout our lives.
00:02:29.340 Throughout history, we see examples of the sort of we versus them, othering, 0.90
00:02:33.460 scapegoating one group of people, making it so that one group of people is to blame for all of society's ills.
00:02:39.300 This is what Justin Trudeau is doing.
00:02:40.660 It is so reckless, it is so irresponsible.
00:02:42.720 And him as a liberal, you know, usually we hear lecturing and warnings of not doing this from liberals,
00:02:48.840 from people like Justin Trudeau.
00:02:49.940 He seems to have abandoned any kind of decorum of responsibility, any of the old things that he used to say,
00:02:56.320 any of the old rhetoric that he used to say about Canadians being, you know,
00:02:59.500 a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, any of those things.
00:03:02.460 He doesn't seem to think about that or care about that anymore,
00:03:05.660 as long as he can just point the blame on one group of people.
00:03:09.040 Let's just be clear about one thing.
00:03:10.440 The reason that we are locked down right now is because of politicians, because of weak-willed politicians
00:03:16.100 like Doug Ford, like Francois Legault in Quebec, like Justin Trudeau, who can't, you know,
00:03:22.440 they told us that we had to get vaccinated.
00:03:24.140 They told us that vaccine mandates will allow us to keep businesses open, will allow us to stay safe.
00:03:29.000 And then even though we went ahead and did that, even though we went ahead and got most Canadians,
00:03:32.740 got vaccinated, most Canadians have been abiding by the rules and showing their vaccine passports
00:03:37.340 in order to go to restaurants or bars or gyms or whatever, they're still locking those things down.
00:03:42.360 So, no, we're not being locked down right now because of the unvaccinated. 0.99
00:03:45.980 We're being locked down right now because of political will, because of the choices that have been made
00:03:49.420 by our politicians rather than focusing on protecting the most vulnerable,
00:03:54.200 keeping the elderly and people with underlying conditions safe.
00:03:57.460 Instead of that, we have this sort of blanket policy, you know, when the only tool that you have
00:04:02.920 in your tool belt is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
00:04:05.580 That is exactly what's happening in our society.
00:04:08.040 So, no, it's not true that the unvaccinated are to blame.
00:04:10.780 Politicians are to blame.
00:04:12.160 There have been many, many reports about long waiting lists, people dying in waiting lists
00:04:17.640 because hospitals aren't focusing on keeping people safe in terms of cancer treatment,
00:04:22.880 early detection, people who have health concerns.
00:04:26.260 They haven't been able to go and see them because the hospitals are so overrun by COVID.
00:04:30.400 That isn't, again, the fault of the unvaccinated.
00:04:32.160 And it's the fault of our centrally planned socialized health care system that has a complete
00:04:36.840 lack of resources.
00:04:38.160 And again, because of heavy-headed COVID policies, which have closed down doctor's offices,
00:04:42.400 limited hospitals.
00:04:43.840 And because of that, people haven't been able to have sort of the normal screening and the
00:04:48.300 normal protocols when it comes to other illnesses.
00:04:50.400 So, again, just really cloudy thinking by our prime minister, a really simplistic way of
00:04:55.960 just boiling it down.
00:04:57.460 Rather than looking at the system, rather than looking at Canada and some of the many flaws
00:05:01.460 that we have with the institutions in this country, particularly when it comes to the
00:05:05.440 socialist-infused health care system that we have, rather than having any kind of nuance,
00:05:10.560 any kind of leadership, Trudeau, again, just simply turns around and blames the unvaccinated. 0.75
00:05:15.020 It's really gross.
00:05:15.680 And so this all happened the same week as a video resurfaced.
00:05:20.420 This was originally from September 16th, 2021, right in the middle of the election campaign.
00:05:25.020 Justin Trudeau appeared on a French-language show.
00:05:27.500 Now, we talked about this clip and we went through it all in an earlier episode.
00:05:32.100 I think it was a Tuesday episode of the Candace Malcolm show.
00:05:34.580 But I'll play part of it again because it just shows the anger, the sort of derogatory attitude
00:05:39.660 that Justin Trudeau has towards the unvaccinated.
00:05:42.080 Again, he truly hates these people.
00:05:43.640 And, you know, this isn't like, these aren't like enemy combatants or like a foreign state
00:05:48.500 or an adversarial regime.
00:05:50.220 These are Canadians.
00:05:50.980 These are our fellow Canadians who, for whatever reason, perhaps it's because they've already
00:05:55.380 had COVID and they have natural immunity.
00:05:57.220 Perhaps it's because they're very, very healthy.
00:05:58.800 Perhaps it's because they've had adverse impact from previous vaccines and they don't
00:06:02.760 want to take this one.
00:06:03.740 Or perhaps they're just skeptical of a big government forcing you to make the health decision that they
00:06:09.820 choose for whatever reason it is.
00:06:12.880 People who have chosen not to get vaccinated and Trudeau treats them like they are the
00:06:17.840 enemy.
00:06:18.100 So here's a little bit of what that clip looked like.
00:06:20.120 People who don't believe in the science, who don't believe in the science, who are
00:06:23.800 often misogynes, who are often racistes.
00:06:26.380 And, again, it was in French.
00:06:27.380 The subtitles were there.
00:06:28.380 But in case you're not watching or you're listening and you don't understand some French, what he
00:06:31.380 said is in French.
00:06:32.380 And again, it was in French, the subtitles are there, but in case you're not watching or you're listening and you don't understand French, what he said is,
00:06:56.560 they're extremists who don't believe in science. They're often misogynistic, also often racist. It's a small group that muscles in. And we have to make a choice in terms of leaders, in terms of the country. Do we tolerate these people? Or do we say, hey, most of Quebec people, 80% are vaccinated. We want to come back to things we like doing. It's not those people who are blocking us.
00:07:17.240 Again, it's kind of weird that right in the middle of a federal election campaign, he's talking about us, the Quebecois people, instead of us, the Canadian people. It just shows you the mindset of a French Quebecois prime minister.
00:07:29.440 But regardless, again, just saying that if it was only for those 20% of the population that is unvaccinated, everything would be back to normal. We'd be able to just go back to doing the things we like doing. 0.77
00:07:39.460 And the only thing standing between you and your freedom are these group of people, those people, those unvaccinated people. They are all to blame. Of course, this isn't true. 0.91
00:07:47.940 The stats don't show, don't back up what Justin Trudeau is saying here.
00:07:51.820 And we know that fully vaccinated people still get COVID, fully vaccinated people still end up in the hospital, and fully vaccinated people still end up in the ICU.
00:07:59.940 So it's not the silver bullet that Justin Trudeau proclaims it to be. Now, sure, being vaccinated helps. It helps most people protect themselves against COVID.
00:08:08.220 But it doesn't, it's not a magical cure. It's not going to end the pandemic. And the numbers show that.
00:08:13.940 So since the start of the vaccination campaign, which was back in December 2020, here is the data from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
00:08:22.140 And here is what the data looks like for vaccinated versus unvaccinated people getting COVID.
00:08:28.020 So since the start of the pandemic, 76.8% of all COVID cases have been among the unvaccinated.
00:08:34.580 So 727,000 cases. Now, that still leaves a lot of room for the people who are fully vaccinated that have had COVID.
00:08:42.600 So 13% of all the COVID cases in Canada were of people who were fully vaccinated.
00:08:48.040 So 122,843 cases in this country of COVID have been among people who were fully vaccinated and their 14-day inoculation period was over.
00:08:59.560 They had had both doses and they still received COVID.
00:09:02.600 5.6% of all cases, so that's 53,000 people were partially vaccinated and another 4.6% of people were vaccinated.
00:09:10.680 But they hadn't had their 14-day period of fully inoculation.
00:09:14.440 So again, basically partially vaccinated. That's 43,000.
00:09:18.260 So we're talking here about 23, 24% of all COVID cases in this country have been among the vaccinated.
00:09:25.740 So it isn't as simplistic as Trudeau explains.
00:09:28.880 And you can see the graph here showing the difference here between the hospitalization rate and death rate of people who are vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
00:09:36.520 If you look at the data in Ontario, though, it's pretty interesting because it almost shows a different situation.
00:09:41.240 This is the current numbers.
00:09:42.640 And I'm not going to pretend that I can explain why this is so different, but I think it's worth pointing out.
00:09:47.640 So if you look at the cases of people in the hospital right now in Ontario, look at this graph.
00:09:54.620 Nearly three-quarters of the people who are in the hospital right now are either fully vaccinated.
00:10:00.060 That's 1,073 cases or partially vaccinated.
00:10:03.260 That's 108.
00:10:04.340 The number of people in a hospital right now who are unvaccinated is only 417 of the cases.
00:10:10.480 So that shows basically the exact opposite of what the federal numbers look like, the exact opposite of what Justin Trudeau is saying.
00:10:17.180 Now, I'm not sure if this is because it's Omicron that is really hammering Ontario right now.
00:10:21.780 And a lot of people who get Omicron are fully vaccinated, but we're told that fully vaccinated, that the vaccinations don't cover you the same way against Omicron.
00:10:31.220 But still pretty interesting when you look down at the ICU, it's pretty much split half and half.
00:10:36.560 So of the people in the ICU right now, about 100 of them are either fully vaccinated or partially vaccinated.
00:10:41.920 And 109 of them are unvaccinated.
00:10:44.380 So still more unvaccinated, but not, again, not the black and white case that Justin Trudeau would suggest.
00:10:50.980 And Justin Trudeau wasn't done with blaming and shaming Canadians and really deflecting all the blame away from himself.
00:10:58.100 You probably saw this story.
00:10:59.500 It's pretty amusing.
00:11:00.600 It's all over the news right now.
00:11:01.660 The Canadian media just jump on this story like it's the biggest scandal that has ever happened to our country.
00:11:06.580 Rather than holding the politicians accountable, rather than holding Justin Trudeau and his cabinet accountable,
00:11:11.900 rather than focusing in on scandal of the people who actually have power in the society, the government, the corporations, big pharma,
00:11:18.120 instead of doing any of that, our media are now holding a group of kids, a group of Quebec influencers accountable for something that they did on a private chartered plane. 0.92
00:11:28.580 This story is just so ridiculous.
00:11:30.840 Video captures partying passengers maskless on a Sunwing flight to Mexico. 0.96
00:11:35.700 I just love the pearl clutching here.
00:11:37.460 Like, oh, my goodness, they were maskless. 0.91
00:11:39.320 Okay, let me just make a few points about this story because I just, I find it so ridiculous. 0.70
00:11:45.140 Okay, first of all, imagine being 20 years old right now.
00:11:48.600 Imagine being a person who just finished high school, going to college, wanting to live a normal life, have some fun,
00:11:54.880 go out there and meet people and just enjoy their youth in the way that most people had the opportunity to do.
00:12:00.220 Except for that they can't because they've lived through COVID lockdowns, everything about a normal life, normal adolescence,
00:12:07.020 being able to go out and socialize with your friends, go to parties, go out to bars, blow off some steam.
00:12:12.180 All of that stuff basically hasn't been available for this generation of people.
00:12:16.100 So what do they do?
00:12:16.920 They charter a private plane to get the hell out of Canada, to go out, go have some fun, enjoy the sun, you know, go do their thing, right?
00:12:24.680 I don't judge people.
00:12:26.260 I don't, I don't, this is, this is one aspect where I'm pretty libertarian.
00:12:30.100 I think that young people should be able to have fun, especially in this case, they chartered the flight.
00:12:34.640 They're going to Mexico.
00:12:35.560 They weren't even in Canadian airspace, okay?
00:12:37.800 These people are just having fun.
00:12:39.220 And somehow this turned into the biggest scandal in the world.
00:12:42.260 And I love the fact that the media loves to emphasize the fact that they were maskless and they weren't socially distancing.
00:12:48.080 I can't imagine caring about this story.
00:12:51.040 I can't imagine this story being something that, that, that upsets you or bothers you, or you would think that this should be a national story.
00:12:58.820 I mean, the, the fact that they chartered the plane, look, when I first saw the videos, I thought, okay, if this is a commercial flight and there's other people on board who might be feeling pretty uncomfortable by the fact that these kids are partying, I could understand how that would be a problem.
00:13:11.880 And that these people would have broken a bunch of rules, but they didn't, they chartered the flight.
00:13:16.000 It's a private flight.
00:13:16.700 You can do whatever, you can do whatever you want on a private flight, but there's a lot more leeway.
00:13:21.040 And from the videos, it doesn't look like there's anyone like a flight attendant trying to fight back or, or it, you know, it doesn't seem like there's any kind of a struggle on board.
00:13:28.740 It seems like it was all sort of condoned and, you know, they, they were on the PA system.
00:13:33.440 They were just having a good time. 0.98
00:13:34.680 And the fact that this is, this is a scandal, um, is so ridiculous. 0.84
00:13:38.300 And of course, Justin Trudeau wants to chime in because it's a perfect opportunity to deflect away from his record, deflect away from his own governance and blame someone else. 0.65
00:13:47.160 In this case, blame a bunch of Quebec influencers who are having a good time, uh, partying and, you know, blowing off steam, uh, going a little crazy on a flight.
00:13:58.240 And so we have a Justin Trudeau jumping into school with them and, um, you know, again, make it seem like somehow these kids who aren't even in Canada, they left the country, they weren't in Canadian airspace.
00:14:09.400 They are now in Mexico.
00:14:11.160 Somehow these people are responsible for the, uh, lockdowns and surging cases in Canada.
00:14:17.260 It doesn't make any sense, but here is what Justin Trudeau had to say.
00:14:20.340 I can assure you, uh, the Transport Canada is taking the situation extremely seriously.
00:14:26.580 There will be a full, uh, investigation into exactly what went on in this situation.
00:14:32.200 Uh, I think like all Canadians who've seen those videos, um, I'm extremely frustrated.
00:14:41.220 Um, we know how hard people have worked to keep themselves safe, to limit their, their family gatherings at Christmas time, to wear masks, to get vaccinated, to do all the right things.
00:14:56.220 And it's a slap in the face to see people putting themselves, putting their fellow citizens, putting, uh, airline workers at risk by being completely irresponsible.
00:15:13.260 I can assure you that this is a, a situation that Transport Canada takes extremely seriously and we are definitely following up on that.
00:15:21.000 It's a slap in the face.
00:15:22.340 I don't, again, I don't understand.
00:15:23.480 If there was just a video of a bunch of kids partying in Mexico, it wouldn't have anything to do with Canada.
00:15:27.680 Even if they're Canadians, it's not a slap in the face.
00:15:29.640 They weren't putting their fellow passengers and countrymen at risk because everybody on the plane was in the same group.
00:15:36.200 Presumably they all consented to this idea that they were going to be on a flight together, that they were going to be partying.
00:15:41.760 And let me, let me just say, when I was in university, we, I went to the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
00:15:46.800 I was on this part of the ski group.
00:15:48.680 We would go on different trips almost every weekend to different mountains in, around Alberta and BC.
00:15:53.880 And the scene on that plane didn't look too dissimilar to the scene on a bus at the University of Alberta going to one of these mountains.
00:16:00.920 You know, we'd leave on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty much always a party.
00:16:04.400 Sometimes it was annoying that people were partying, but it was also a part of being young.
00:16:08.360 And the idea that somehow this impacts the whole country, this is something that the prime minister needs to comment on and needs to school these people. 0.94
00:16:15.560 You know, to me, it's just so hypocritical, too.
00:16:18.860 Do you think, do you think for one second the prime minister wasn't doing stuff like this when he was in his 20s, that he wasn't out there partying? 0.80
00:16:26.040 I mean, we've seen pictures of the guy at beer gardens and partying.
00:16:30.220 We all know what happened at the Kokanee Musical Festival out there in Cranbrook when he groped a reporter.
00:16:35.500 I mean, it's just so ridiculous hearing this guy, you know, put on his serious voice and scold a bunch of young people who weren't even in Canada at the time for having a good time.
00:16:45.940 Give me a break. Give me a break. 0.86
00:16:49.400 And it gets worse because, you know, as much as he was scolding them in English, he went even further in French. 1.00
00:16:56.060 Trudeau called these sun wind travelers idiots and barbarians in French. 1.00
00:17:00.980 They're idiots and they're barbarians. 1.00
00:17:02.840 Some way to talk about your fellow Canadian there, pal. 1.00
00:17:05.780 Calling young Canadians who are blowing off steam because you've locked them down for two years, calling them idiots and barbarians. 1.00
00:17:12.680 Good for you. Good for you, Justin Trudeau. 1.00
00:17:14.440 I'm sure you feel so good about yourself.
00:17:16.980 Virtue signaling there and coming down on a bunch of young people.
00:17:20.220 And the funniest thing about all this is the people in those videos, the kids, the Quebec people, they're influencers, right?
00:17:26.420 Their whole job, their whole existence is to be popular online, to get attention.
00:17:30.400 That's all they want.
00:17:31.120 That's all an influencer wants is just to kind of have a video that goes viral, get a bunch of new Instagram followers.
00:17:36.620 So this is all kind of feeding into what these people want.
00:17:39.680 They want fame.
00:17:40.340 They want attention.
00:17:40.980 They want the clicks and, you know, this is the media, the prime minister, this whole charade.
00:17:46.640 They're giving them exactly what they want.
00:17:48.180 So even though they're coming down on these kids, the kids are actually the winners of all this because they're getting what they want, which is attention.
00:17:54.300 So we could talk about the hypocrisy of Justin Trudeau, how he used to behave when he was in his 20s versus how he's scolding these Quebec influencers today.
00:18:03.120 But you don't even have to go back that far to see the hypocrisy with Justin Trudeau.
00:18:07.960 I mean, go back, what, a few months here, back in October 2021.
00:18:11.580 Here is Justin Trudeau in Amsterdam partying with elites with no masks, no social distancing.
00:18:18.180 Was this a slap in the face, Justin Trudeau?
00:18:19.900 You're allowed to go to a party.
00:18:21.140 You're allowed to go to a bar.
00:18:22.400 You're allowed to not wear a mask and not socially distance.
00:18:25.380 And hey, he's not in Canada either.
00:18:27.100 But when these young Quebec influencers do it, it's a slap in the face.
00:18:30.460 It's, of course, not the first time Justin Trudeau has done it.
00:18:33.680 So here is Justin Trudeau.
00:18:35.140 He's got a drink in hand.
00:18:36.220 He is laughing and chumming it up shoulder to shoulder with world elites at the G7 meeting over in the UK in June 2021.
00:18:45.040 And, you know, we saw it.
00:18:46.160 We saw it throughout the entire election campaign.
00:18:48.260 The election campaign basically just featured a bunch of politicians breaking the rules that they are imposing that you follow.
00:18:55.400 So back in August 2021, Justin Trudeau dodges questions on breaking gathering limits during a packed campaign stop.
00:19:03.040 Here's what that looked like.
00:19:04.220 Justin Trudeau at a huge, you know, busy election rally.
00:19:07.940 So he's allowed to be there.
00:19:09.280 He's not wearing a mask.
00:19:10.460 He's allowed to be hand gliding and shaking hands and kissing babies and doing the whole election campaign stuff.
00:19:17.440 You know, breaking the rules, breaking his own social distancing rules.
00:19:21.340 But again, not following the rules that he sets.
00:19:24.460 Here he is in September 2021.
00:19:26.380 Trudeau breaks the law once again by ignoring Ontario's COVID restrictions.
00:19:30.140 This was over in the Toronto Sun covering a packed liberal rally in Brampton during the election.
00:19:36.680 Once again, Trudeau was packed with more than 400 people into a banquet hall.
00:19:40.480 No socially distanced.
00:19:41.860 No attempts whatsoever.
00:19:43.740 This was the second time Trudeau has held an event in violation of Ontario's COVID-19 regulations while claiming to follow them.
00:19:50.920 The first time was two weeks ago in Mississauga when he was in a packed small restaurant.
00:19:55.800 So once again, we see Justin Trudeau doing this all the time. 0.99
00:19:58.600 And now here he is, you know, putting on his serious face, acting like he's completely appalled, calling them idiots and barbarians for doing basically what Justin Trudeau has done all along. 0.99
00:20:09.120 And, you know, this goes back right to the beginning of the pandemic. 0.98
00:20:12.140 Recall that back in June 2020, Justin Trudeau attended a huge so-called anti-racism, anti-Black racism march where he went and he famously, infamously took a knee and joined the Black Lives Matter campaign right at the time when they were trying to convince Canadians that we had to continue to shelter in place, continue to stay inside.
00:20:34.080 The 14 days to curb the spread of COVID at this point had now turned into like three months.
00:20:38.880 And there's Justin Trudeau leaving self-isolation at Rideau Cottage to attend a massive anti-racism protest in Ottawa.
00:20:46.740 And he even had his own department right talking points for him that came from an A-tip from our friends over at Rebel News that basically he was told to say that the reason that he skirted the COVID rules at the time
00:21:01.500 was that supposedly anti-Black racism and racism against Indigenous people and other minorities negatively affects their health and safety.
00:21:09.640 That was sort of the first glimpse that we got about how much of a farce this whole lockdown thing was, that they made special exemptions.
00:21:16.180 If you were protesting for righteous causes, if you were joining the trendy left movements there, that you were allowed to skirt COVID laws.
00:21:25.400 So throughout this entire pandemic and particularly now, what we see from Justin Trudeau is the same thing.
00:21:31.360 Total hypocrisy, going out of his way to condemn and blame the unvaccinated, or in this case, blame, you know, some Quebec influencers who are out there having a good time.
00:21:41.640 Blaming them, not taking any responsibility for his own policies, ignoring the fact that he too often breaks COVID rules and breaks the same standards that he is condemning other people for breaking.
00:21:53.220 Well, when it comes to Justin Trudeau and the pandemic and his handling of this entire thing all along, it has been rules for thee, but not for me.
