00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is the Candace Malcolm Show news update. Today is Friday,
00:00:06.180 March 13, 2026, and we have an unbelievable show for you today, folks. There is so much
00:00:10.920 news going on. We're going to talk about the economy. We're going to talk about the latest
00:00:13.440 numbers showing just how badly the country is going into a freefall. We're going to talk about
00:00:18.140 immigration, a good, solid announcement from the Conservatives calling on the Humboldt Broncos
00:00:22.960 driver to be deported following Juneau News' lead. Happy to report that. We're going to talk
00:00:26.880 about some land acknowledgements and some castle law. But the top story today is this unbelievable
00:00:31.380 bombshell that was reported yesterday by La Presse newspaper. We learned that in the very early hours
00:00:38.160 of Operation Epic Fury, the Israeli-American joint attack on Iran, that Canadian bases,
00:00:45.760 a Canadian base in Kuwait was bombed. In the early hours of March 1st, it was bombed. Canadians
00:00:53.340 were bombed. And yet this is the first we're hearing about. It took two weeks for this story
00:00:58.500 to come out. Why didn't the prime minister tell us about it? He has spoken on this issue over and
00:01:02.920 over again. He has flip-flopped on this issue over and over again, whether he supports the war,
00:01:06.740 opposes the war, maybe Canada will join the war. We're calling for a ceasefire. We've had
00:01:11.280 very confusing communications from the government on this. And now we learn that Canada is actually
00:01:16.720 a target and involved in the war. We were struck. And so this was first reported by La Press
00:01:22.440 newspaper. And then it took over and was discussed in committees yesterday in Ottawa. So here is
00:01:30.160 Conservative MP James Bazan. He is the defence critic for the Conservatives. And here he is
00:01:36.540 calling out the Prime Minister, explaining what happened and raising many of the same questions
00:01:41.020 that I'm raising right now. Why didn't we know about this? Why didn't the Prime Minister entrust
00:01:46.060 Canadians with the truth about how our troops were in a harmed way? They were targeted. They
00:01:50.640 were bombed by the grace of god thankfully no one was injured no one was in the base at the time
00:01:55.680 that it was struck by a missile but canada is involved in this war whether we like it or not
00:02:00.300 and the canadian public was kept in the dark unbelievable here again is the defense critic
00:02:04.460 james bazan uh that canadian armed forces members uh were attacked on march the first in uh kuwait
00:02:12.720 during the very early hours of the first parts of the war in Iran.
00:02:19.160 We are extremely, well, first and foremost, we're happy to know that everyone is safe.
00:02:24.180 We've heard that at committee as well, that we were assured that everyone in the Canadian Armed Forces
00:02:30.880 have been safe throughout the region.
00:02:32.960 However, you know, Prime Minister Carney has had multiple occasions and press availability
00:02:38.220 to disclose this fact that Canadian Armed Forces bases in Kuwait were attacked on March the 1st.
00:02:45.680 We also are very concerned that this has been an ongoing lack of transparency
00:02:51.980 and it's part of the ongoing flip-flops of Mark Carney and the Liberals on their position on the
00:02:57.600 war in Iran. As Conservatives, we are very supportive of the removal of the terrorist
00:03:03.080 regime in Iran and for freedom and democracy to prevail throughout the country.
00:03:07.740 And here he is again, noting that the prime minister had frequent discussions, frequent press conferences about what was happening in Iran.
00:03:17.840 Why didn't he mention it? Why didn't he talk about this over and over again?
00:03:21.400 This is a major failure by the Canadian government.
00:03:23.540 I would add it's also a failure by the media, again, that it took two weeks to unearth this scandal.
00:03:29.500 This is a failure of the government of not wanting to communicate, not being transparent and not sharing with Canadians exactly how Canada is impacted by this war and how the Canadian Armed Forces are continuing to be in the region, not involved in this operation, but continuing on in their responsibilities tied to other operations in Canadian interests.
00:03:49.160 So we ask the government to be transparent, to provide all the details and information, rather than us learning about it 10 days, 11 days after the fact, since this is something that is important to Canadians and the Canadian Armed Forces.
00:04:03.260 And so here is what reporting from Juneau News looked like.
00:04:06.640 Carney accused of hiding Iranian attack on Canadian troops in Kuwait.
00:04:11.040 Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing accusations of a cover-up after Conservative defense critic James Bazzan alleged
00:04:16.260 Carney hid for almost two weeks the Iranian regime attacked Canadian forces personnel in Kuwait at the beginning of the war.
00:04:23.080 Bazzan revealed Thursday that amid Prime Minister Carney's numerous flip-flops on Canada's position regarding the American-Israel war against the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:04:31.140 Carney concealed from Canadians that Iranian regime directly attacked Canada in Kuwait on
00:04:36.360 March 1st. We learned this morning that Canadian Armed Forces were attacked on the 1st of March
00:04:40.920 in Kuwait during the very early hours of the first part of the war in Iran, Bazan said.
00:04:44.760 We're happy to know that everyone is safe. We've heard that at committee as well, that we were
00:04:50.300 assured that everyone in the Canadian Armed Forces was safe throughout the region. The attack at
00:04:55.560 Ali Salaam Air Base in Kuwait damaged a section of one of its buildings, but all personnel were
00:05:00.560 in a different building at the time. So there were no injuries and no casualties reported again,
00:05:05.340 just by the grace of God. Bazan chastised Carney and his government for withholding the information
00:05:10.280 from the public for nearly two weeks. Interesting tidbit that the reporting from the La Presse
00:05:16.080 newspaper came from aerial footage, like satellite imaging. So they didn't even have a source. It's
00:05:21.420 really unbelievable to me that we have this huge media apparatus in Ottawa, government funded
00:05:26.400 CBC, government-funded newspapers and government-subsidized news stations across the country.
00:05:32.660 And yet nobody had sources inside Defence or DFAT or any of these departments that would
00:05:37.940 be willing to tell them this.
00:05:39.420 No Canadian reporters.
00:05:41.060 You know, they're all busy, obsessed over the floor crossings and showing Mark Carney
00:05:45.960 in a very positive light and painting it as a strong government.
00:05:49.200 And no one is actually willing to do the investigative work necessary, or even just
00:05:53.280 talking to sources.
00:05:54.080 good on the press for pointing this out. But folks, this is a huge story. Our government
00:05:58.780 doesn't trust us with the truth. Our troops are being attacked in a foreign war and we're in the
00:06:03.800 dark. There are so many levels and angles of the story that are just totally unacceptable.
00:06:10.120 Even today, after this bombshell, you would expect this to be dominating the airways and to be the
00:06:15.300 top story, but it just simply isn't. Head on over to National Newswatch, which is a news aggregator
00:06:20.440 of the legacy media journalism. It is run by liberals, but still they usually just show all
00:06:26.820 the news that you see out there. And there's just literally nothing about it. There's nothing about
00:06:30.920 it. It's all, again, painting Carney in a positive light. Look, he's meeting with the Norwegian
00:06:34.660 leaders and he's ready to protect our continent, talking about how great the floor crossing is and
00:06:39.720 how Carney is strong. Oh, liberals are ready for the bile auction in Terrebonne, really. And then
00:06:45.660 of course, a negative story about Pierre Polly of a negative story about Donald Trump is all we see
00:06:50.060 from the media, nothing ever critical about our government. It's really unbelievable. Head on over
00:06:54.660 to the Globe and Mail, Canada's newspaper of record. Again, the story is hidden. It's not
00:07:00.880 even on the front page of the news of the website anymore. And when you finally do find the story,
00:07:06.500 it's this one Canadian press story that frames it as like a conservative pounce type story. It's not
00:07:12.900 that the problem isn't the scandal itself. The problem is the conservatives are pouncing and
00:07:16.580 reacting to the story. So look at this headline, Ottawa's failure to disclose attack on airbase in
00:07:21.700 Kuwait with Canadian forces. Shameful, Tory MP says. Notice how failure is in scare quotes and
00:07:27.080 shameful is in scare quotes, because that's just his opinion on this story. Honestly, this is just,
00:07:32.360 this is just despicable. The way that our media cover for the Prime Minister, let's head on over
00:07:36.860 to the CBC. Oh, lo and behold, nothing, nothing about the story, nothing about this scandal.
00:07:42.460 Instead, it's all just positive stories about Mark Carney and you have the talking heads
00:07:46.980 talking about the floor crossings.
00:07:48.500 Folks, this is one of the major failures of our country, that we just, we don't have a
00:07:53.580 government that trusts the public, that is transparent, that is honest, and we don't
00:07:57.700 have a media that is willing to do their job and hold them accountable.
00:08:02.120 It's really unbelievable.
00:08:03.680 This is what we get.
00:08:04.580 So what do we have?
00:08:05.400 Our prime minister is up north in Yellowknife and he just sort of like shrugs.
00:08:09.600 He just shrugs it off and is like, well, it's no big deal.
00:08:12.020 He asked about why this wasn't communicated and why he didn't tell the Canadian public.
00:08:16.040 Unbelievable response.
00:08:17.240 This is so smug, so arrogant.
00:08:19.100 He shrugs his shoulders and says, I'm not the only spokesperson for the government.
00:08:23.520 So why is it my responsibility?
00:08:25.620 Go talk to somebody else.
00:08:27.780 Mark Carney, you are the prime minister of this country, sir.
00:08:30.400 It is your responsibility to lead our country.
00:08:33.340 And that includes in times of war and being transparent with the public.
00:08:37.380 It is unbelievable to me.
00:08:38.560 This is just so arrogant.
00:08:39.280 Here is our Prime Minister just smugly shrugging the whole thing off.
00:08:43.580 If you can confirm in English if this attack happened and why you didn't inform Canadian before?
00:08:53.640 Well, I mean, I'm not the only spokesperson for the government,
00:08:58.520 but I'll just confirm that the members of the Canadian forces are all safe and sound.
00:09:06.820 I reinforce, as I said in French, what you know, which is that we are not engaged in these
00:09:15.580 actions of the U.S. and Israel. We're not engaged in offensive actions, and we will not be engaged
00:09:23.260 in those actions. And so on top of this brewing scandal about the prime minister's not trusting
00:09:28.420 Canadians to tell us the truth, we had this report from earlier in the week. Sources tell Global News
00:09:32.580 that after his upcoming trip to Yellowknife and Norway and then the UK, Prime Minister Mark
00:09:37.320 Carney will not return home to Canada with the delegation. Instead, he will stay in London and
00:09:41.520 then head to Rome for a vacation over March break. Must be nice. Well, he was asked about that. Mr.
00:09:46.700 Prime Minister, we are in a time of war. We just found out that Canadian troops were, in fact,
00:09:50.940 in harm's way. Do you really think this is the best time to go on vacation? Do you really think
00:09:55.440 it's a good time to go on vacation? What does Carney say? Smugly puts the reporter's place and
00:09:59.480 says, it's not even a week that I'm going away for. And I have a very competent government behind
00:10:04.620 me that they can handle the government. Really, you're just throwing them under the bus saying
00:10:08.280 that they should have been the ones who are communicating this attack and not you. And now
00:10:12.640 you're saying, oh, look at how wonderful and confident they are. This guy is just so unbelievably
00:10:16.800 arrogant and really looking quite weak at this point. Look at the uhs and the ums. He doesn't
00:10:22.060 seem to have control over the issues, doesn't have control over the communication despite
00:10:25.900 paying the media and having them keep his secrets for him. But still, again, Prime Minister Mark
00:10:30.920 Kearney looking quite weak. Here is his response. It doesn't actually work out to a week. And
00:10:35.600 it's the first thing. One of the strengths of this government is we have a very strong cabinet.
00:10:43.960 So maybe this helps explain all those flip-flops, right? We saw James Bazan
00:10:47.860 criticizing Mark Kearney over the flip-flops. We covered it on the show. We know that the day of
00:10:52.080 the attacks, Mark Carney surprisingly came out in favor of them and applauded President Trump
00:10:55.920 for acting in this way. We know that his foreign affairs minister, Anita Anand, sort of contradicted
00:11:02.000 him, saying that we would have preferred diplomacy and we still prefer diplomacy. A couple of days
00:11:05.720 later, David McGinty, the defense minister, came out calling for a ceasefire, right? And then we
00:11:10.140 had Mark Carney saying he wouldn't rule out getting involved in the crisis itself. So you
00:11:14.580 have a lot of different communications. I think this is part of the problem of having such a big
00:11:18.220 cabinet, you know, during the floor crossings, the legacy media were applauding the liberals
00:11:22.280 for being able to have such a big tent. You know, you had people all the way on the hard left,
00:11:25.820 like the latest MP that crossed the floor from the NDP. You know, she was an Abby Lewis supporter,
00:11:31.640 an Abby Lewis rally. That's like as far left as you get on the political spectrum in Canada.
00:11:35.520 And then you also have a handful of MPs were elected under a conservative banner. You could
00:11:39.280 argue that Mark Carney himself is more of a blue liberal or like a fiscally responsible conservative,
00:11:44.620 at least that's the way that the media paint him and present him. I think that a lot of the flip
00:11:49.540 flopping on communications here, just my opinion, is because of his caucus. And a lot of people don't
00:11:54.520 agree. A lot of people are very opposed to this war. A lot of people in his caucus really don't
00:11:58.640 like Israel. And so you have sort of different communications probably to placate different
00:12:02.800 parts of the coalition. And you can really already see the coalition starting to fray.
00:12:09.400 and i just want to add this in one example of a very far left liberal mp is gregor robertson he's
00:12:15.480 a housing minister he's a former very hard left mayor of vancouver this is an unbelievable clip
00:12:20.600 from the house of commons here he is blaming the high housing prices on the war in the middle east
00:12:27.800 you know that war that's been going on for two weeks that's the real cause of the high housing
00:12:32.680 prices in canada okay pal let's play that clip mr speaker well it's no surprise that canadians
00:12:38.680 are challenged with buying homes right now when there's a war in the middle east there's no no
00:12:45.160 surprise mr speaker and this comes amid very bad news for the canadian economy you know i was told
00:12:50.680 that mark carney was going to come in and steer the ship and take over and reverse a lot of the
00:12:55.160 economy killing policies of justin trudeau and that he was responsible well it's not panning out
00:13:00.520 that way canada's economy lost a net of 83 900 jobs in february driving unemployment rate up to
00:13:07.240 6.7 percent the actual unemployment number is much much higher those are just people actively
00:13:11.400 looking for a job economists were expecting a 10 000 net gain in jobs according to bloomberg
00:13:16.680 and yet look at these numbers not looking good michelle rempel conservative mp michelle rumple
00:13:22.760 garner she hits the nail on the head with this post she says hire canadian abolish the temporary
00:13:28.440 foreign worker program stop issuing hundreds of thousands of new foreign student work permits
00:13:33.720 when millions of expired visas remain in canada remove non-citizens in canada whose visas have
00:13:40.120 expired and consider the impact of ai and a weak economy on immigration levels yes yes yes yes i
00:13:46.280 am very happy and liking the new hawkish conservative on immigration is exactly right
00:13:51.480 all of these people have to go why do we have open borders why do we have so many people coming to
00:13:56.120 canada when people in canada can't even find jobs it makes absolutely no sense and speaking of
00:14:01.720 conservatives getting it right on immigration i want to talk about the latest from pier poliev
00:14:06.920 who has said that the law is clear and that jessica singh sadhu must be deported this is
00:14:12.920 absolutely correct and let me just say that i think that the reason that we have the conservative
00:14:17.800 leader pierre poliev making the statement is because of the work and reporting that we have
00:14:21.480 done here at juno news so on monday i focused my show on this terrible horrible tragedy from 2018
00:14:28.360 of a reckless, dangerous driver of a truck striking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey
00:14:35.640 team's bus in Saskatchewan. Just absolutely horrible, horrible story. Just one of the worst
00:14:41.220 things has happened in modern Canadian history, killing 16 players and personnel and staff from
00:14:46.920 the Humboldt Broncos hockey team and injuring 13 others. Well, the man responsible, the driver who
00:14:52.380 was driving dangerously, blew through a stop sign. He was sentenced to eight years in prison. He's
00:14:57.140 a canadian so he needs to be deported canada law canadian law is very clear that he is inadmissible
00:15:02.180 this man is out of prison and you wouldn't believe the legacy media coverage i highlighted it on my
00:15:07.140 show the cbc doing an absolute hit job of a piece making this individual up to be the victim and
00:15:12.980 just saying it's so inhumane that we would deport this man look he's got a wife and kids let me just
00:15:17.140 note that the kids are quite young the kids were born likely after this bus crash right so you know
00:15:22.500 this this person is trying to build up a family in canada after the fact he's not canadian he has
00:15:26.420 no right to be here. He has to go. My co-founder of Juno News, Kian Bextie, he launched a petition
00:15:31.940 over at the countersignal. Deports to do if you haven't already. Sign that. And let's get a
00:15:37.100 critical mass of Canadians to say that this man needs to get out of our country. Kian Bextie had
00:15:41.860 several tweets on the topic that went viral. And through this sort of campaign, we picked up enough
00:15:46.940 steam. Jason Kenney, who's a former immigration minister and former premier of Alberta, I'm quite
00:15:52.260 critical of Jason Kenney these days. But on this issue, he laid out the facts and got it absolutely
00:15:58.320 right. So this is what he wrote on X the other day. He said, enough is enough. Deport him now.
00:16:02.780 The criminal driver took the lives of 16 young Canadians and seriously injured 13 more. As I
00:16:07.480 said, when I was Canada's immigration minister, the minute a foreign criminal's custodial sentence
00:16:11.980 is over, a CBSA vehicle should take them directly to the airport for removal to their country of
00:16:17.340 origin. It's not complicated. Jason Kenney is 100% right. I 100% agree with what he is saying
00:16:24.140 here. He goes on, he says, to the bleeding hearts who can't stomach deportation of convicted foreign
00:16:28.400 criminals, why do you think it's cruel or unusual punishment to repatriate him back to India in this
00:16:33.120 case? It's an amazing democracy with the fastest growing economy on earth. It's not a death
00:16:37.600 sentence. And where is your compassion for the victim's families who have to keep reliving this
00:16:42.120 crime as he exploits every possible loophole. He linked to independent journalist Mocha Berzagon,
00:16:48.100 who had a great report on this. He did like a mini documentary that he posted on X interviewing
00:16:54.220 some of the families of the victims, the real victims, the boys that were killed in this crash
00:16:59.420 and one girl. And really, you know, these people can't start to heal until this person leaves.
00:17:04.440 And painting the culprit, the perpetrator as a victim is just such a sick sign that our country
00:17:11.220 does far too often. Well, Pierre Polyev echoed that and released this statement exclusively to
00:17:17.440 Juno News yesterday. Pierre Polyev told Juno News an exclusive statement on Thursday that the law is
00:17:23.240 clear on CEDU's deportation. The law is clear. This individual was convicted and ordered by the
00:17:27.780 government to be removed. He had an opportunity to appeal and his appeal was denied. The process
00:17:32.540 has played out and the law should be restricted. Okay, guys, let's be real. Crime is up. Repeat
00:17:38.840 offenders are released on bail. Police responses are slower than ever. And in many places,
00:17:44.760 law abiding citizens are expected to just hope nothing bad happens. That's not good enough. And
00:17:50.180 that's why I'm very pleased today to be telling you about Berna. And I'm so pleased to have this
00:17:54.240 partnership with Juno News because I actually own one myself. I bought one before we ever had this
00:17:58.960 deal with Berna. So what is Berna? It is a non-lethal self-defense launcher that gives you
00:18:05.020 real protection without carrying a firearm. It looks like a firearm. It kind of feels like a
00:18:09.900 firearm, but it's not. It's non-lethal. So Berna launchers look and feel like a real handgun,
00:18:14.580 but they don't use bullets. Instead, they fire powerful kinetic rounds designed to stop a threat
00:18:19.680 from a distance up to 60 feet without lethal force. Here's why it matters. You don't need a
00:18:25.520 firearms license. You don't need a background check. There's no waiting period. There's no
00:18:30.240 permanent life-altering consequences if you're forced into the situation where you have to
00:18:35.600 defend yourself. And let me just tell you, folks, it's all too real. It's all too normal in Canada.
00:18:40.140 We see stories all the time in the news of home invasions and criminal gangs, and it's scary. And
00:18:45.980 many times it's too close for comfort. Again, that's why I bought one myself. These things
00:18:50.060 are designed to stop. They're not designed to kill. They are a less lethal option made specifically
00:18:56.020 for Canada. So this product is legal in all 10 provinces and it ships for free. Go to the
00:19:02.060 description in the link below or visit junomarketplace.com slash Burna. That's J-U-N-O
00:19:08.160 marketplace.com slash B-Y-R-N-A. Guys, buy one for your wife. You'll thank me later. She'll thank
00:19:15.260 you later. It's a really important tool to have in your house, especially for me. Look, my husband
00:19:19.000 travels a lot for work. I have four little kids and this thing, having it in my house gives me
00:19:23.640 peace of mind. So use the link in the description or visit junomarketplace.com slash Berna for
00:19:29.020 special offers. Make sure that you're prepared. It's better to be safe than sorry. Folks, this is
00:19:34.680 why independent media is so important because we expose the story. We expose the legacy media we're
00:19:39.260 doing to the point where conservatives follow suit and are going to do the right thing. We need to get
00:19:43.760 tough on immigration if we want to fix our country. What else do we need to do? Well, conservative MP
00:19:47.960 Aaron Gunn is saying something that just needs to be said, that land acknowledgements undermine
00:19:53.820 private property. That's absolutely right. They undermine the unity of our entire country. If we
00:19:57.800 have to start every public meeting by basically saying that Canada is an illegitimate country
00:20:02.060 that exists on stolen land and it is unseated and that the land actually should belong to somebody
00:20:06.860 else, that's a problem for our entire country. It threatens our legitimacy. And as North Island
00:20:12.120 Powell River Conservative MP Aaron Gunn says it also undermines private property. He warns that
00:20:18.000 the government regularly making land acknowledgments threatens the bedrock of our society.
00:20:22.360 Private property rights is 100% true, and we're seeing it play out. What happens when you give
00:20:27.060 this, you know, it's virtue signaling, and you might just think, oh, it doesn't mean anything.
00:20:29.940 It's just people, you know, showing off how morally superior they are by talking about how much they
00:20:34.720 hate Canada. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't really have an impact. It does, and we are seeing
00:20:38.480 that play out in the courts as more and more private property is being turned over to First
00:20:43.420 Nations ban. We've seen two bans in Vancouver area receive like property rights over land that is
00:20:50.040 privately held. It's really a scary situation. Unbelievable. Conservatives need to start standing
00:20:54.420 up against this kind of nonsense. And final story I want to cover today is another good news story
00:20:59.240 of Conservatives doing great work in Ottawa. This one is a castle law bill, Stand Your Ground Act.
00:21:04.960 So yesterday, Conservative MP Sandra Covina introduced this law, Stand Your Ground, Bill C-270, saying that if somebody breaks into your house, you can use force to defend yourself and your family.
00:21:18.420 This is common sense. And it's just unreal that we live in this country, live in this world where home invasions and home robberies are a reality for many Canadians.
00:21:27.820 happens all over Toronto, Vancouver, increasingly even happening places like Calgary. And in the
00:21:33.560 prairies, this is what the statement said, with violent crime up 55%, gun crime up by 130%,
00:21:39.880 and extortion up by 330% since 2015. This time in legislation will clarify the legal standards
00:21:46.540 around self-defense during a break-in. So this is correct. We saw a similar bill being
00:21:51.860 introduced by Doug Ford in Ontario. But I want to show you this exchange because it just shows you
00:21:56.820 everything wrong with our Canadian media. I talked about it off the top of the show, the fact that
00:22:00.360 our media don't really hold the government to account. They'd much rather hold the conservative
00:22:03.800 opposition to account and expose just how totally out of touch they are in the process. So here you'll
00:22:10.480 see a reporter in the legacy media creating a hypothetical story of someone breaking into
00:22:15.980 someone's house and getting shot by the homeowner in self-defense to their family. Oh, but what if
00:22:20.960 the intruder, the person who broke into the home wasn't armed? How is that fair that they get shot
00:22:26.180 even though they weren't armed. It's just unbelievable the thinking, right? Even in a
00:22:29.660 hypothetical, the media flip the script and pretend that the person breaking into your home
00:22:34.200 is the victim of this story. We'll watch as conservative MP Larry Brock, justice critic,
00:22:40.600 absolutely puts her in her place and absolutely calls out the absurdity and stupidity of how the
00:22:46.200 media try to take the perpetrator of a crime and turn them into a victim. It's really sick.
00:22:51.940 And it's great to see Conservatives calling out the media on this total nonsense and always trying to, again, come up with a way to make Conservatives seem like they're the bad guys, even when they're trying to protect Canadians and the safety of Canadians. Let's roll that clip.
00:23:05.200 Just to be clear in this, if somebody enters a home and they are unarmed and a homeowner fears and they are armed and then shoots and kills the person who's entered their home unarmed, this would protect them?
00:23:21.940 the the question being that if a person enters the home unarmed but the
00:23:28.320 homeowner themselves is armed and they say oh my gosh someone's in my home this
00:23:31.700 is scary I shoot and kill them so even though the perpetrator who entered their
00:23:35.500 home unlawfully is unarmed would this protect them and that would be seen as
00:23:38.620 reasonable I reject some of the premise of that question because you're
00:23:43.820 presupposing that the homeowner knows that this intruder is unarmed the
00:23:49.300 homeowner being awoken in the middle of the night has to make a split second decision do i take
00:23:55.460 active steps right now to defend my home preserve my life preserve the lives of my family or do i
00:24:03.060 ask this person are you armed and is your stated intention only to steal from me that is an unfair
00:24:09.940 question to put to a homeowner so yeah i'm going to say that if someone breaks into your house
00:24:14.660 even if they happen to be unarmed they're still the bad guy and they deserve what is coming to
00:24:19.060 to them. Okay, folks, that's all the time we have for today. Thanks so much for tuning in. I hope
00:24:22.440 you have a wonderful weekend and we'll be back again on Monday. I'm Candace Buckingham's Candace
00:24:25.600 Buckingham Show. Thank you and God bless.
