Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:13.840
But before we get to the news, I want to stop and pause and reflect upon the situation we
00:00:22.820
We don't have a prime minister in this country.
00:00:25.240
We don't have a federal leader, and we don't have anyone representing us in our country
00:00:32.660
It was just two weeks ago that Justin Trudeau announced that he was resigning.
00:00:37.720
I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next
00:00:45.880
leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.
00:00:50.960
He said he was stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party and as prime minister, citing
00:00:56.040
internal squabbles in his cabinet and his caucus, in his liberal party.
00:01:00.460
Presumably and notably, he was talking about Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, the
00:01:06.120
Now she's out there doing media rounds, bashing her former boss, saying that she disagrees on
00:01:11.120
him on everything from the carbon tax to capital gains taxes to the GST rebate to his strategy
00:01:19.120
Now, also recall that third party leader Jagmeet Singh has let it be known that the moment
00:01:25.080
the parliament resumes, his party, the NDP, the ones who have been propping up Trudeau
00:01:29.520
and the failed liberal minority government since 2019, they will vote against the libs in
00:01:37.520
So rather than facing this reality, rather than allowing Canadians the opportunity to elect
00:01:43.460
our next leader and our prime minister, instead of allowing democracy to run its course,
00:01:47.720
Trudeau has used a loophole in our Westminster system of government, system of parliamentary
00:01:52.520
democracy, to prorogue the House of Commons to avoid triggering an election.
00:01:57.520
He's just pressed pause on democracy for crass partisan purposes.
00:02:02.320
Now, if this doesn't make you question our very system of government, make you doubt how
00:02:06.480
well our government functions, I don't know what will.
00:02:09.360
It is insane that a prime minister can first derail the economy with his terrible woke policies,
00:02:15.320
and then just pause the democracy to take time to regroup within his own party.
00:02:21.420
Now, that was a situation on January 6th, when Justin Trudeau resigned without actually
00:02:27.280
Then everything got so much worse, because we just don't have a prime minister.
00:02:31.740
As you know, US President Donald Trump is no fan of Canada's liberal government.
00:02:36.160
He openly mocks Trudeau, calling him the governor of the 51st state, an insult to all Canadians.
00:02:41.820
And he doesn't much like Trudeau's deputy, Chrystia Freeland, either, who goes out of
00:02:51.120
He's serious about border security, national security, and energy security.
00:02:54.260
And he is very willing to impose devastating tariffs on our country to protect his country.
00:03:03.600
Canada is already suffering through a cost-of-living crisis unlike anything I have seen in my entire
00:03:09.260
Our economy is on the rails, the loonie is collapsing, and every day Canada feels a little
00:03:15.420
Crime is out of control, drug use is rampant, and overdoses are far too common.
00:03:20.640
Mass, unchecked immigration has created not just ballooning housing prices and rent prices,
00:03:28.980
Being Canadian doesn't mean anything anymore, and foreign tribal feuds are spilling out onto
00:03:39.420
Not these clowns who are making a mockery of our country.
00:03:42.840
Justin Trudeau no longer has the confidence of the House, he no longer has the confidence
00:03:46.320
of Parliament, and he no longer has the support of Canadians.
00:03:50.960
He resigned for goodness sake, and he needs to go.
00:03:54.780
Liberal insiders and global elites should not get to select our next prime minister in an
00:04:00.300
undemocratic internal selection process that is ripe for abuse and foreign interference.
00:04:12.880
This is from my own website, CandiceMalcolm.com.
00:04:15.280
It is separate from my journalism and separate from True North.
00:04:22.620
Not in three weeks when the federal court will hear a case about the legality of progation,
00:04:26.780
and not in March after the liberals have their leadership review and select their next leader.
00:04:35.140
Please sign my petition so we can send our reckless elite a message.
00:04:40.640
Send it to everyone you know, and help me send this message to Parliament.
00:04:52.680
In studio with Kian Bextie from The Counter Signal.
00:05:00.820
So you were recently down in Washington, D.C., watching the inauguration.
00:05:04.760
And one of the main things that came out, one of the executive orders that I was really
00:05:08.860
excited about was just getting back to common sense, the idea that there are only two genders.
00:05:13.700
So I have it here, Trump's executive order, when it comes to defending women from gender ideology
00:05:19.880
extremism, he says that the executive order reads that sex shall refer to an individual's
00:05:25.040
immutable biological clarifications, classifications as either male or female.
00:05:29.440
Sex is not synonym for, does not include gender identity, that women and women and girls and
00:05:34.880
girls shall mean adult and juvenile, female humans, respectively.
00:05:40.420
The female means belonging at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive
00:05:46.620
cell and that male is a sex that produces a small reproductive cell.
00:05:50.620
I appreciate that it even says at conception, not at birth, but at conception, since there's
00:05:57.200
That was just one of Trump's incredibly strong executive orders.
00:06:00.720
I know you were talking about his getting out of the WHO as being a major point that you're
00:06:08.660
What else was sort of the big takeaways from your time in Washington?
00:06:11.760
Well, just those executive orders, it's nice to see that there's like a return to common
00:06:18.400
And you said it well, and I think that it shows that conservatives in Canada have been
00:06:24.240
Daniel Smith, her action in Alberta to protect women and girls in sport, and Pierre just running
00:06:30.580
on literally common sense, bringing back common sense.
00:06:35.900
The question now is, do Canadian conservatives have the same follow-through that Trump has
00:06:42.300
Not many conservatives get into office and do what Donald Trump did, and on day one have
00:06:47.300
a stack of executive orders on their desk that tall and just go through, bang, bang,
00:06:53.660
Are we going to see some waffling for the first year?
00:06:57.260
I hope Pierre knows what to do, knows what Canadians want, and knows what they need.
00:07:05.020
It's a disastrous bureaucratic organization, very similar to the World Economic Forum, in
00:07:11.000
terms of their waste, in terms of their belief that they know better than the common man.
00:07:18.000
Getting out of that was a huge win for the Americans.
00:07:20.360
The amount of money that they spend on the World Health Organization is sickening, especially
00:07:24.360
when they don't make up the majority of the global population.
00:07:27.260
They're spending that, basically providing free health care through a wasteful bureaucratic
00:07:34.500
And they were footing a huge part of that bill.
00:07:39.520
We're the fifth largest contributor to the World Health Organization.
00:07:45.240
We hand the organization about a quarter billion dollars a year.
00:07:55.080
And the leadership of that organization is just like, and I'm not even a conspiracy theorist
00:08:01.100
here when I say that they're like this cabal of communists from Africa that are running
00:08:08.200
So I hope that Pierre gets the message and follows suit with Donald Trump and the huge success
00:08:13.240
that he's seen in just the first three days that he's had in office and pulls Canada out
00:08:20.440
I think that when we watch what happened with the pandemic and how these edicts were coming
00:08:25.680
from this World Health Organization, it clearly seemed like a corrupted organization that somehow
00:08:29.620
was having huge power and control over our lives.
00:08:31.840
Now, I know that it's the elected government in Canada that gets to implement the laws, but
00:08:36.640
the edicts were certainly coming from these kinds of organizations.
00:08:39.440
It was a breath of fresh air to see Trump say no to the Paris Climate Accord and no to
00:08:45.180
I really hope that the conservatives follow suit.
00:08:47.800
Like you said, like Pierre, if he becomes prime minister, when I'm urging Canadians to
00:08:52.900
sign my petition and call for an election, like we need an election now.
00:08:59.180
It blows my mind that Justin Trudeau can just pause democracy.
00:09:03.640
He can just press pause for his own party to try to regroup.
00:09:11.720
What were you seeing when it came to Canada and sort of our lack of leadership and presence
00:09:19.420
I spoke with a lot of staffers from the Republican side of Congress, and they seem to think that
00:09:25.120
this tariff thing was a lot of posturing and they just wanted a few simple things.
00:09:31.100
They wanted at least the Canadians to come to the table and negotiate in good faith, which
00:09:42.880
And that, you know, we know why, because the government is in tatters.
00:09:47.900
Most of Justin Trudeau's cabinet has either committed to resigning or committed to the
00:09:53.620
And they're focused on getting Mark Carney elected or Chrystia Freeland elected.
00:09:59.200
They're not at the table negotiating with the Americans.
00:10:01.640
And that's going to be a huge disaster for us, which is why Daniel Smith has taken it upon
00:10:07.000
I wish other premiers, you know, Doug Ford has complained a little bit about it.
00:10:14.360
These provincial leaders have a mandate, a fresh mandate in most cases, from their people
00:10:27.360
Go with a message that is pro-Canada and Canada first.
00:10:30.500
But they have a responsibility to make sure that their provinces are not going to be left
00:10:34.920
scarred by the mistakes of the absent Trudeau regime.
00:10:39.800
Daniel Smith has a huge issue right now, making sure that energy gets.
00:10:44.060
And she's not doing that just for energy producers in Alberta.
00:10:48.480
She she wants energy to be exempted from the tariffs, which is would be great for Alberta.
00:10:52.560
But it would also be great for Ontario, who relies on our energy as well, which gets sent
00:10:59.660
It goes down south west of the Great Lakes and then back up east.
00:11:05.640
I think that Canadian premiers have got to get on board with what Daniel's doing and
00:11:14.320
But I think that Daniel Smith speaks for so many Canadians, myself included, when she
00:11:19.180
is saying that, no, the idea to get into a trade war here and have retaliatory tit-for-tat
00:11:30.480
OK, I'm going to ask you more questions about your time in Washington.
00:11:35.420
So speaking of gender, we had Trump with this wonderful executive order defending women
00:11:42.280
And Pierre, not to be outdone, so he was on, I think it was, what was it, Breakfast Television
00:11:47.460
And he was asked whether he would follow suit with what Trump did and only recognize two
00:11:56.040
First day on the job, President Trump signed an executive order, you know, the U.S. government
00:12:05.680
You know, if elected as prime minister, is that something that you're going to kind of
00:12:10.320
Or what are your feelings on that executive order?
00:12:13.980
Do you have any other genders that you'd like to name?
00:12:22.500
I'm just asking more so if you're in line with what he is saying.
00:12:27.200
Is that something that you would be lockstep with if elected as prime minister?
00:12:31.260
Well, I'm not aware of any other genders than men and women.
00:12:35.500
I mean, if you have any other that you want me to consider, you're welcome to tell me right
00:12:40.520
Well, there's, well, there's, personally, I am a man.
00:12:45.980
There are people there who, you know, they say they're gender neutral.
00:12:50.920
There are people there who say they're gender neutral.
00:12:58.800
Is that something that you would recognize here?
00:13:02.160
Whereas in the States, at least with their U.S. government, the way they're seeing it,
00:13:10.660
But, I mean, if you have, if you come up with another list, then you're welcome to do
00:13:17.660
And as far as I'm concerned, we should have a government that just minds its own damn
00:13:25.700
So that was Phil Perkins of CP24 asking the questions there.
00:13:32.280
Just like the Apple interview, he puts the onus on the reporter to actually stand behind
00:13:44.800
But if you're of, you know, of the position that he should actually take action, it could
00:13:50.700
leave people a little bit concerned because he didn't actually commit to doing what Donald
00:13:55.300
He just sort of ridiculed a reporter, which, again, hilarious.
00:13:59.100
But I want a commitment that says, yeah, there are two genders.
00:14:07.220
We're not going to allow, like, I want, as a ideologically driven person, to hear a commitment
00:14:17.460
But, you know, I think I know what he's getting at.
00:14:20.400
So it's good news that he's not allowing reporters to run the show.
00:14:26.500
The second step would be, like, concrete action.
00:14:31.100
And I love the point he makes where he makes the report.
00:14:35.500
Because reporters in Canada are so used to just having their way with conservative politicians
00:14:39.260
and basically humiliating them based on liberal dogma, right?
00:14:42.900
And so here you have a journalist who's just trying to do what they've always done, which
00:14:47.580
is, like, what Donald Trump did was scary and you have to walk away from it.
00:14:52.340
And then Pierre just so skillfully turns around and it's satisfying because really, like, what
00:15:01.880
And then, you know, the reporter kind of awkwardly goes back to this idea, like, well,
00:15:08.780
They know all the words to use, the talking points.
00:15:15.320
It kind of reminds me, it was about a year ago where we at True North were reporting intensively
00:15:21.660
on this topic of puberty blockers that are going to be given to children.
00:15:26.680
I didn't know at the time whether he was going to come out in support of just biological reality
00:15:32.620
or whether he was going to go down this left wing rabbit hole of allowing kids to transition
00:15:37.260
and all kinds of drugs being given to very confused minors.
00:15:42.260
I want to play this clip because it kind of had the same vibe where he kind of almost
00:15:47.000
plays dumb and then he ends up coming to the right place.
00:15:51.840
I think that we should protect children and their ability
00:16:21.840
So you think only adults should take puberty blockers?
00:16:30.560
I think we should protect children, let them make adult decisions when they become adults.
00:16:35.280
So that means you are against puberty blockers for kids under the age of 18.
00:16:46.300
And again, like, I don't think that Pierre had really come out on record at that point
00:16:53.240
And you have to like keep it in the broader context, which is that the liberals love divisive
00:17:00.400
That is how they win elections is look at these scary conservatives over here.
00:17:03.940
They want to take us back to like a handmaid's tale.
00:17:08.500
And I think that the left lost itself in this gender ideology discussion because they just assumed
00:17:14.500
that they were correct, that they were on the right side, and that Canadians would fall
00:17:17.960
in line just like they did on gay marriage and abortion.
00:17:22.160
And I think when it comes to confused little kids being pushed into this like ideological,
00:17:28.400
I know you said, you know, conservatives are ideological.
00:17:31.020
I think conservatives just stand for common sense.
00:17:33.000
And the ideological part comes from this extreme left idea that boys can be girls and girls can
00:17:40.000
And it's all just a suggestion and that kids should be non-binary.
00:17:44.980
And as a mom of little kids, it is something that like really ignites a passion in me.
00:17:49.760
Like I have no tolerance for it at my children's school or with their teachers or with the books
00:17:54.960
I want it as far away from my family as possible.
00:17:59.720
Like this isn't one of those positions where I'm like just an extreme conservative on almost
00:18:04.380
everyone I know and almost everyone I talk to is in complete lockstep agreement with
00:18:08.580
me to the point where I think a big part of the reason why Donald Trump was so accepted
00:18:12.820
and is so mainstream now is because of these issues where people are just, we've had enough
00:18:19.960
So it was great to see Pierre come on board and kind of come out in that way saying, no,
00:18:28.080
And you could see the journalists, they were really kind of hammering on him because he
00:18:32.800
I think the journalists were actually just doing their job there.
00:18:39.900
He needs to actually talk about a policy, right?
00:18:41.700
It's not just about having the right idea and coming to the right position.
00:18:44.700
We need to like get him on record with what he will do on day one and what the policies
00:18:52.940
They were, they were, they were gallivanting down this path of, you know, enjoying being
00:19:01.080
Oh, the conservatives are these scary racist people or, oh, they're trying to prevent, you
00:19:05.980
know, they're trying to force women to have kids and like, like the handman's tail, like
00:19:11.380
And these were like kind of winning issues for them in the past because they were able to
00:19:15.520
successfully hoodwink Canadians into thinking that conservatives really were these like crazy
00:19:20.100
And then they decided to use kids as a pawn in, in their game and parents and even people
00:19:27.600
who aren't parents are just like, bro, like take a step back for a second and understand
00:19:33.460
When you see the people who have detransitioned and the scars that are literal, literal scars
00:19:38.200
that are left on their mind and body it's, it's sickening.
00:19:42.740
There's just so much evidence now that it's a bad idea to allow children, especially children
00:19:47.560
with often parents who they themselves say are trans, who all of a sudden the kids become
00:19:53.160
Like, it's just not, it's not in the best interests of society or kids to allow them to do it.
00:19:58.060
And I think that Pierre, I mean, I'm speaking with people, I've spoken with people close
00:20:02.020
to him and they drew inspiration from Daniel Smith on this.
00:20:05.740
They saw that she, people supported what she did.
00:20:09.500
All you had to do was be bold, stand on the side of protecting children.
00:20:13.700
And the, the, the way forward was paid for you because liberals just are completely in
00:20:19.560
disarray when they have to come to terms with something like this.
00:20:23.060
It was Daniel Smith's policy that kind of catapulted this whole thing because that was January,
00:20:30.300
And then just two weeks later, February 21st, we had Pierre coming out finally with a decisive
00:20:36.580
This was his position on women's prisons and women's sports.
00:20:42.480
My question, sir, is should you form the next federal government?
00:20:46.640
Will you make female safe spaces safe again by introducing legislation that bans so-called
00:20:54.260
transgender women from participating in female sports and getting access into female shelters
00:21:03.720
Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males.
00:21:11.060
The, you asked if I introduce legislation on that.
00:21:14.540
A lot of the spaces you described are provincially and municipally controlled.
00:21:20.520
So it is unclear what federal legislation, what would reach federal legislation would have
00:21:27.740
to change them, but obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should
00:21:41.120
This is why it's so important to have independent media at these events because they ask better
00:21:46.760
So he kind of defaults to, well, these are provincial jurisdictions.
00:21:50.940
One thing I will note with Donald Trump's executive order is that it just shows leadership, right?
00:21:55.280
Like he can't mandate that the entire country fall in line with what he's doing.
00:22:00.520
But when he does it, it gives permission to other people.
00:22:03.360
Like I saw someone noting on X that Silicon Valley is actually like breathing a sigh of relief because they hate these gender ideology
00:22:11.360
provisions and they hate the diversity, equity, inclusion stuff, and it's like, okay, great.
00:22:17.200
And it's like gives corporate America an excuse to not do it anymore as well.
00:22:21.360
You're right that Danielle took the lead with banning these sex surgeries and cross-sex hormones to minors.
00:22:28.420
Have you seen any kinds of changes across Alberta society?
00:22:31.900
And do you think that what Pierre said there is the right approach?
00:22:35.420
I would love to talk to a political expert and understand why Pierre sort of does take this,
00:22:40.760
this route when he sort of like hands off the, the onus to the provinces.
00:22:46.440
Trump does the opposite, even if it's an issue that the States could solve.
00:22:52.360
He gives them permission to take the right stance as a leader should as, as the first
00:22:58.700
minister of our confederation, Pierre soon to be potentially.
00:23:04.820
Pierre has, has like this, this obligation to show conservatives the way and
00:23:12.500
So it's not, it's not a situation of like pushing it onto NDP premiers to solve the issue.
00:23:17.920
It, it really is a national social issue that we need to have some authority on and, and
00:23:26.860
And we need a standard, standard approach across the country when it comes to this kind
00:23:32.180
Um, the fact that some of the most insidious people in this country can do terrible things
00:23:39.080
and then be put, you know, I'm not an advocate for, for other criminals who are rightfully
00:23:44.600
in prison, but these women shouldn't be forced to live their lives with some of the most insane
00:23:50.600
people in the world who managed to get into a women's prison.
00:23:53.800
And I mean, I won't go into details about, um, the, some of the court cases I've been involved
00:24:00.100
in, in British Columbia with someone who assaulted me years ago.
00:24:03.100
Um, but they, they were of, you know, a similar situation where they would end up in a women's
00:24:08.660
prison and they should not have been in a women's prison.
00:24:10.900
A biological man who is having some kind of a mental break and decides that they're a woman
00:24:16.960
I'm not in the case necessarily that you're talking about, but this happens.
00:24:18.940
Like there's a story out of Quebec of a man that murdered three people and then he goes
00:24:22.920
to jail and now all of a sudden he's a woman and he wants to go in the women's prison.
00:24:26.980
Like I get that female prisoners aren't necessarily the most sympathetic audience that you say,
00:24:31.620
well, they aren't deserving of, you know, the threat and fear of living with a criminal
00:24:37.060
But it's like at a certain point, like a woman has a right not to be raped, not to be
00:24:46.280
And those, those women are put in a hugely unfortunate situation when they're, when they're
00:24:50.460
forced to shack, like to, to be in a cell with these people, um, you know, a lot of
00:24:55.080
these, a lot of these criminals, women, female prisoners, they're not violent criminals.
00:25:01.040
Um, they're in jail and they're serving a sentence for society and, um, they shouldn't be put
00:25:07.700
So that's the kind of leadership that I would want from our prime minister to, um, to tell
00:25:12.780
premiers, you know, premiers have, have jails that they're in charge of as well.
00:25:18.720
There's different types of prisons in this country and they all need an understanding
00:25:27.060
That like, well, even many of the women, most of the women, um, who are in women's prison,
00:25:31.600
even the, the hard offenders who have committed violent crimes is almost always with women,
00:25:36.020
a situation where they've killed their husband or their domestic partner.
00:25:39.440
Like it's, it's almost always like a personal relationship.
00:25:41.700
And so again, the idea that they would be subject to a dangerous male criminal is, is
00:25:49.300
Um, that's, that's sort of the less sympathetic argument.
00:25:51.600
The more sympathetic argument is when you have women in sports, like teenagers and girls
00:25:58.320
Um, I was an athlete when I was a teenager and the whole point of female sports is so that
00:26:04.020
women can have a chance because they can't compete with men.
00:26:06.520
Men are much bigger and so this idea that you have, uh, men, I know that there's a couple
00:26:10.840
of cases that are going around, it's almost sad.
00:26:14.060
I saw one on social media the other day of a, uh, a male, I think it was a volleyball player
00:26:19.400
on Vancouver Island university, but this, this, this man had gone through a sex, basically
00:26:27.800
So in this video where, um, he's saying, I want to play sports, um, with the girls because
00:26:34.760
I'm a girl, it's a biological boy, but he says that he was, he started transitioning
00:26:41.800
And so he's, he never went through male puberty and you, you have this like really sad situation.
00:26:47.960
Like I actually, I have so much sympathy and I feel for him because I feel like he's
00:26:52.200
been the victim of abuse, um, at the hands of his parents and a society that is delusional
00:26:59.760
And now you have a person who's in the middle of it and living through it.
00:27:04.600
Um, but at the same time you need the leadership.
00:27:07.160
Didn't you think that the, that clip from Pierre though, on breakfast or on CP two, four, don't
00:27:11.520
you think that is kind of the leadership, the equivalent of what Trump is doing, like giving
00:27:14.800
people permission to take a stance on the decision?
00:27:16.640
I've just been so burned by conservative leaders in the past who say one thing and then,
00:27:23.880
You know, so especially Aaron O'Toole has, has really, really burned me.
00:27:28.080
And you know, he, he perhaps luckily was not in a position where he was leading the country.
00:27:36.920
I just really don't want to count my chickens before they hatch on, on this kind of situation.
00:27:45.560
Let's, let's talk a bit more about your time in, in Washington.
00:27:47.760
So, um, you know, you were down there, you said you were talking to, um, congressional
00:27:54.480
Tell us first, like what brought you down there?
00:27:57.440
And then maybe talk a little bit about your highlights of your time.
00:28:00.040
Well, the last time I was in Washington DC was to document January 6th, which I feel like
00:28:05.000
I can talk about now because I was like constantly worried that people were going to be upset for
00:28:18.920
I don't know if we have to call it that anymore.
00:28:20.920
It, I, you see the picture of that guy with his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk and people
00:28:26.680
call him like someone who's like throwing a coup somewhere, you know?
00:28:31.480
Um, and then you see leftists doing the exact same thing, like having a sit in, breaking into
00:28:37.320
someone's office in Congress and sitting in and not allowing them to conduct the business.
00:28:45.160
Um, there's like a few people who vandalized that's vandalism.
00:28:52.520
Uh, did, did, did they try to overtake the military and, um, hijack nuclear missile silos?
00:29:01.400
Anyways, last time I was, I just want to say like, there is some social context that's missing,
00:29:06.760
We just witnessed an entire summer full of the George Floyd riots, black lives matter,
00:29:11.880
There were lots and lots of riots all over North America that year.
00:29:16.360
And so not to excuse the behavior, I think that there were some bad actors and bad behavior
00:29:21.400
on January six, but by and large, it was a protest, right?
00:29:24.760
It was a protest in support of Trump in, in, in protest against a lot of really crazy things that
00:29:30.280
happened in the 2020 election, a lot of irregularities, a lot of media interference, a lot of things
00:29:35.400
that we now know about the things like the Twitter files, that they were actually manipulating
00:29:39.800
the information behind the scenes, blocking the Hunter laptop Biden story from getting out.
00:29:44.120
Like there was a lot to be angry about at that time.
00:29:47.240
And usually with any kind of situation like this, there's a couple of really bad actors
00:29:53.480
And then everyone else is just there and they kind of get caught in the wrong spot.
00:29:56.520
And we, we know for sure that there were feds there.
00:29:58.760
I think that there was a report that said, what, there was at least 20 or at least 40 feds
00:30:05.240
So, so I, you know, I, I don't like the idea that you can just blanket, pardon people.
00:30:09.480
I don't think it was good when Biden was doing it, uh, when Trump did it.
00:30:13.080
But at the same time, I think it had to be done.
00:30:15.320
And I think that a lot of people are happy about it.
00:30:17.000
Well, Biden doing what he did made it the easiest decision.
00:30:20.040
I, I, I wonder if Trump was wondering if it was a good idea or not.
00:30:23.800
And then Biden pardons his family as his last action of government.
00:30:30.920
Anyways, last time I was there was January 6th and the atmosphere was very similar.
00:30:38.440
I wanted to see what, uh, you know, what people were doing.
00:30:42.680
These, these moments in history are always so great to be at and witness with your own
00:30:47.560
eyes because you can share it with your viewers so that they feel like they're there as well.
00:30:51.400
And you can give them like this on, you know, your viewers trust you and you can give them this
00:30:57.240
If we left it to the CBC who I was standing beside during January 6th to, uh, to relate to
00:31:05.800
Canadians would think that it was an insurrection and many do.
00:31:10.360
So I'm, I was glad that I was able to be there in case whatever happened happened,
00:31:17.080
And I was lucky enough to be able to get into the Canadian embassy, which funny enough,
00:31:20.920
the last time I was there, I was also thrown out by Bill Morneau because I was trying to go to
00:31:26.440
And they threw me out of name, name me persona non grata on my own embassy, which is just weird.
00:31:35.640
I mean, there was a lot of conservatives celebrating there.
00:31:37.720
It was sort of like a conservative victory party.
00:31:46.600
She was there doing interviews and working, but Liz trust was pretty happy.
00:31:50.360
Um, there was a lot of liberal staffers there as well though.
00:31:53.320
Um, both like diplomatic staff and actual liberal staffers that were just sort of there.
00:31:58.840
You could tell cause they had the red lanyards on, but if that wasn't, uh, enough of a sign,
00:32:07.160
They were head hand in their head, uh, head in their hands, just completely upset, devastated,
00:32:16.760
I got to get one of those cups from daily wire.
00:32:22.600
Um, and it was great to be able to chat with Liz trust as well.
00:32:25.400
Um, I interviewed her there and that went, I was a little bit surprised, but extremely
00:32:32.360
This is a key in catching up with former, uh, conservative prime minister of the UK.
00:32:39.640
Wanting to get your thoughts on Mark Carney and your relationship with him, uh, while you
00:32:43.800
were prime minister of the United Kingdom and any advice you have to Canadians who think
00:32:49.240
Well, Mark Carney was governor of the Bank of England and under his tenure, too much money
00:32:55.400
was printed, which did damage to the British economy and put our economy off track.
00:33:01.960
He, at the last election, endorsed Rachel Reeve's economic policy.
00:33:11.960
So I would strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney or his policies on net zero, which
00:33:18.280
have been disastrous for Britain and would be disastrous for Canada.
00:33:21.880
Do you trust his judgment overall outside of ideological considerations?
00:33:26.600
Well, I believe that he made major mistakes in the management of the Bank of England.
00:33:31.160
He has pushed net zero, which has been a disaster, not just for the UK, but for many countries across
00:33:40.680
And I mean, you just have this uncanny ability to find people.
00:33:44.680
And you bumped into Ted Cruz as well in your time there.
00:33:48.680
So, uh, what, what else were your takeaways from DC?
00:33:51.160
Well, I want to take a minute and point out there, like that, that's what I want to do.
00:33:55.640
I want to ask people questions that Canadians and my audience in general want answers to.
00:34:01.560
And I was able to fly across the continent, go to an embassy and ask a former prime minister
00:34:08.360
of a G7 country, a pretty big deal, a basic question and get something that was extremely
00:34:17.960
He wants to be anointed leader of the liberal party and then appointed prime minister of this
00:34:26.200
It was different questions and he might not have liked to answer them.
00:34:29.640
In this case, of course, Liz Truss was happy to talk about Mark Carney because
00:34:34.840
She attributes his downfall or her, her downfall in her short term as prime minister to him
00:34:42.360
So, you know, it's different questions and obviously they're, they can be prickly
00:34:47.960
and who knows what the questions are going to be.
00:34:50.440
I usually determine what they're going to be about an hour before I ask the person or sometimes
00:34:54.040
on the spot in that case with Liz Truss, it was just out of my pocket.
00:34:56.840
Right. But Liz Truss didn't need to arrest me, even if those questions were going to
00:35:07.160
So it makes me wonder, like, why does Mark Carney and and not just Mark Carney,
00:35:13.000
Why do they rely on the police to prevent them from being asked accountability questions?
00:35:20.600
I can't go into parliament to ask these questions in in a, you know, in a in a
00:35:28.360
They won't they will not accredit me because I don't live in Ottawa.
00:35:34.120
I'm sure if I'm sure if I was anyone else, they would bend the rules.
00:35:36.760
But it means that I have to either find interesting places to find them on the street, on a beach,
00:35:42.520
whatever, or at a press conference somewhere that is not highly controlled by parliamentary security.
00:35:48.280
So it it's frustrating to me that I have to fly across the world
00:35:54.440
to go to a foreign country to ask our own leader.
00:36:07.240
They say, oh, yeah, First Amendment also applies to you.
00:36:10.040
The rights of media access also apply to you as a foreign journalist.
00:36:15.160
In fact, when and during Donald Trump's first term,
00:36:18.760
the only time I've ever been able to get a question close to Trudeau up until that point,
00:36:24.200
obviously, I met him on a beach recently, but I had to fly to the White House.
00:36:29.960
I'd have to go to the White House for his Trudeau's foreign visit to see Donald Trump there.
00:36:35.720
Of course, his media team was furious and they pushed me.
00:36:40.280
But we were able to shout them to him and get the point across what we wanted to ask.
00:36:47.480
You have the ability to get there and ask a question.
00:36:51.560
But there shouldn't be a police force between you,
00:36:54.680
between someone who represents the people and wants to get answers from those in power
00:37:00.840
and get, you know, relay sort of a message between the two and actually
00:37:06.680
There shouldn't be a police force able to determine if you meet the right partisan,
00:37:13.400
you know, if you check off the right partisan boxes to be allowed in the room.
00:37:20.120
One, it's kind of, it always kind of blows my mind.
00:37:22.760
It's remarkable that, you know, you could get up to a prime minister trust like that
00:37:29.960
Everyone was really interested in hearing what she had to say.
00:37:32.760
And no one in the legacy media thought to do that, right?
00:37:34.920
Like for all the resources, all the money that the CBC and CTV and all these different newspapers
00:37:39.800
and outlets, they all had presence in Washington.
00:37:43.400
They're not actually doing the kind of journalism that Canadians are interested in.
00:37:46.840
The second point, just so that the viewers and listeners understand the full context.
00:37:51.560
So Kian was one of the journalists who was at Mark Carney's launch party in Edmonton last week,
00:37:58.760
And Kian was basically stopped by police, not allowed into the building, not allowed to go to
00:38:05.320
You know, Mark Carney decided to launch his campaign in Edmonton.
00:38:08.200
I guess he grew up there, spent a bit of time in his childhood there.
00:38:14.280
But the idea was that you and a handful of other independent journalists, including True
00:38:18.760
Norris, Isaac Lamoureux, were not, I don't know what their justification was,
00:38:23.160
that you weren't journalists or that you weren't allowed.
00:38:25.240
I mean, you're an Albertan and he's in your province and he's refusing to ask questions.
00:38:36.840
He's not going to, you know, try to make a fuss about it.
00:38:42.440
And so you tried to fight your way in until the police came and eventually escorted you away.
00:38:59.880
Unfortunately, my meta, I got these new like meta sunglasses to film video.
00:39:04.280
They failed on me that day, which disappointed me a bit because
00:39:07.640
those would have caught footage of his campaign team locking my leg in a door,
00:39:13.240
like closing my door, closing door on my leg and then putting their legs and body in between me
00:39:19.960
and the door to keep me locked there, unable to move or go into a different room.
00:39:27.480
And so it's, but I also, I don't want to be known as the journalist who always has to,
00:39:34.440
It's a terrible situation to be in, to have to negotiate with the police to do your job.
00:39:41.480
I'm not dangerous, obviously, or else I wouldn't be allowed in the white house.
00:39:46.520
And they're able to basically tarnish my reputation by saying, look, he's the kind
00:39:52.280
of guy who needs the cops called on him because he's so rambunctious or he's going to break rules
00:40:01.080
Have you ever gone in and like shouted out somebody while they were talking and giving a speech?
00:40:05.240
Like, I mean, we saw Chrystia Freeland giving her announcement and you had a bunch of people
00:40:09.320
out there calling her part of a genocide and pushing their Gaza issue.
00:40:13.960
Um, have you, have you ever done anything like that?
00:40:17.080
I mean, I, I mean, I've only ever seen you ask questions as a journalist.
00:40:20.840
I mean, you've shouted questions at someone who's running across the street or we'll get
00:40:24.520
to Justin Trudeau on the beach, but I don't think I've ever seen you interrupt an event.
00:40:30.520
You don't want to be the person that like runs in front of the cameras and busts up an event just
00:40:36.840
so that you can get some silly question to someone who probably won't answer it anyways.
00:40:42.200
The purpose is to get a thoughtful question that Canadians want answers to, um, asked to and
00:40:47.400
responded by someone of significance who needs to be held accountable or, or has something of intrigue
00:40:54.520
like Liz Truss, who doesn't need to be held accountable necessarily, but has some advice for
00:40:58.520
people. And you want to be able to give that to your readers and viewers. Um, that's the goal.
00:41:02.360
The goal is not to cause a scene at all. So we, we didn't publish a lot of that because we didn't
00:41:06.920
want to be known, um, as those people that police get called on when we do our job. But we did have
00:41:12.680
to show that Mark Carney is the kind of guy that calls the police on journalists. Cause it wasn't just
00:41:17.720
me, you know, we were, we were accredited. We were, we applied, we received the invitation.
00:41:23.720
That's the only reason we knew where it was. Cause it was actually quite secret.
00:41:26.280
Right. Um, we got the invitation the next morning. I drove up from Calgary and we were
00:41:31.400
steps away from getting in and some guy who would not, who's we were, you were with someone from
00:41:36.120
the Western standard. I was with, uh, yeah, there was someone from the Western standard. We all drove
00:41:39.560
up separately, but you know, Isaac was there, the Western standard was there. Um, Mocha was there
00:41:45.160
and we were about to step in and they just said, no, you're not coming in. And we, we were like,
00:41:50.200
okay, uh, who are you? And he wouldn't identify himself. We asked if he was with the campaign.
00:41:54.440
I'd never seen him before. Um, he was just some guy. And we said, are you with the campaign?
00:41:59.880
No, I'm not with the campaign. I'm just a random guy. He said, and which is weird because.
00:42:03.480
Then why does he have authority? Exactly. Exactly. And then people who I think who,
00:42:08.040
who now later people tell me, uh, it was this guy named Steven Carter, maybe you're something. I,
00:42:13.240
I don't really know him. Um, he was sort of liaising with this thug who was holding my leg in a door,
00:42:20.680
super weird behavior for a political campaign in Canada. It seemed like something out of a third
00:42:24.600
world. And. You know, people needed to see that people need to see that that's what Mark Carney's
00:42:30.040
going to do. Um, I mean, I, I wasn't at Christia Freeland's launch. I was at the inauguration.
00:42:35.240
I wonder if she would have done the same thing. Um. Well, it doesn't seem like her event was nearly
00:42:40.040
as secure. In fact, I was really surprised that those protesters got in, they had like a large banner.
00:42:45.480
Like how do you get a banner like that into a political event? It's so weird. And it's like,
00:42:49.720
in some ways the Canadian political class is like so locked down and you can't get to them. And then
00:42:55.000
in other ways they're totally exposed and like actually could, things could have gone a lot
00:42:59.400
worse. Like if you could sneak a big sign into a campaign launch, what else could you sneak in there?
00:43:04.200
Yeah. And I don't want to be an advocate for tightening up access to politicians. I think
00:43:08.680
that's a great thing about Canada that we are able to get that access. Um,
00:43:13.160
but then you compare it to the United States and it's, it's very different. Um, someone can walk
00:43:18.840
off the streets and go up to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office, sit in the front office of it
00:43:25.640
and wait for it to come out and, uh, they can get their phone number. Imagine, and they can get their
00:43:30.600
email. The emails of our MPs are hidden. You know, they're not publicly accessible. You can, you know,
00:43:35.800
you could email justin.trudeau at parl.gc.ca and it'll go to a bureaucrat or some, some, um,
00:43:43.240
what hit the actual email that goes to his Blackberry or iPhone or any other member of
00:43:47.320
parliament is like first name dot last name dot a string of digits. And that will go to them if you
00:43:53.960
are an insider or an elite or also a politician. And I get that their phone can't be blowing up all the
00:43:59.400
time and they have work to do, but the access that we have, um, isn't anywhere close to what
00:44:05.720
the Americans get, which, you know, you gotta, you gotta hand it to them being a, uh, congressman
00:44:11.400
or senator. You are, you're accessible to the people. And they know that they know that their
00:44:17.720
job is to represent the people and help them Canadian members of parliament. I don't think
00:44:23.240
have that same, uh, opinion of themselves. Uh, it's interesting that you said that any
00:44:27.960
journalists can kind of show up at the white house and go to a press briefing that their first amendment
00:44:33.800
guarantees that how do they prevent? Cause I just did like play devil's advocate. You hear the,
00:44:38.600
the, the libs or the establishment people in Canada say, well, not just anyone could be a
00:44:42.360
journalist. Like not every citizen from Twitter can just show up and expect to ask questions of
00:44:46.760
their premises. So how does, how does the U S stop just like every single like streamer and citizen
00:44:52.120
journalist on X from showing up to an event or they just don't worry about it. Yeah. Who cares if they
00:44:58.520
do. Yeah. Right. Um, but you know, I shouldn't say that anyone can, um, I was able to get in
00:45:03.800
you submit like some documents to, I think it's maybe Homeland security and they audit you,
00:45:10.600
make sure that you're not a bad person and oh yeah, they're a journalist. Okay. You're in.
00:45:16.120
So there is some like steps to go through. It's not, it's not a walk in the front door kind of thing.
00:45:20.680
You have to, you have to let them go through your background and cause you're, you're, you're in the
00:45:25.160
president's house. You gotta be safe person. But if you're a journalist that gives you some credibility
00:45:31.000
and, um, obviously you gotta be a good, a safe person, nonviolent, not a criminal, but, um,
00:45:39.160
their definition of journalist is quite broad in the United States. In Canada, they like to think
00:45:43.800
that you have to have gone to, um, some journalism college to have the, the title of journalist.
00:45:49.720
Like it's like some sort of doctorate, but not even that cause true north hires from journalism
00:45:53.560
schools. So Harrison Faulkner went to Ryerson. Um, uh, Rachel Parker went to Carleton journalism
00:46:00.760
school and I don't think that they're getting any, any, any different treatment than you.
00:46:04.840
Like if you work for an independent press, um, outlet, they don't consider you to be a real
00:46:10.360
journalist. Um, you know, it's not just Mark Carney. It seems to be a bit of a theme. So
00:46:14.520
I noticed our mutual friend, Ezra Levant was in Davos, Switzerland. Um, and he, he, he also just
00:46:20.760
unbelievable the ability to find these people. So he caught up with, um, BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink,
00:46:26.760
um, to ask them about their DEI policies in the wake of Donald Trump's victory. So let's play that
00:46:31.880
clip. Mr. Fink, are you going to follow Donald Trump's, uh, plan and get rid of DEI and ESG
00:46:38.440
in your companies? BlackRock really is the opposite of Donald Trump in so many ways. You're
00:46:46.920
authoritarian, you're anti-populist, you're top down. Are you going to change it all in light of
00:46:52.280
the US presidency? How has Donald Trump, have you talked to Donald Trump since he was elected?
00:47:02.680
Is the World Economic Forum a counterpoint to Donald Trump?
00:47:09.880
Why are you running away from simple questions? Just answer a question. Have you talked to President
00:47:13.960
Trump yet? Why are your, why are your bodyguards pushing away journalists, Mr. Fink?
00:47:19.160
So good for Ezra for doing that and getting in there. I think we missed the part where the guy
00:47:24.600
took his phone out and took a picture of it. That was a little bit, um, creepy. You know, Davos is
00:47:29.240
always an interesting time. We had our own Andrew Lawton. Uh, unfortunately, as folks know, Andrew
00:47:34.040
has decided to go and run for parliament. So he's a conservative candidate in London. So he's no longer,
00:47:38.520
uh, doing his show, the Andrew Lawton show. And unfortunately we weren't able to send him to,
00:47:42.360
um, Davos this year, but in the past, uh, Andrew has been our man that goes down there and
00:47:47.080
it's just, it's just so amusing. So I'll, I'll play this clip. Um, this is Andrew Lawton. He caught
00:47:52.040
up with, uh, Christine Lagarde, who's the head of the European Central Bank, tried to ask her a
00:47:57.080
question, um, and she resisted. So let's play that clip.
00:47:59.880
Good afternoon, ma'am. How can people have confidence in digital currencies and government
00:48:04.280
not using it as a tool of control? I'm not giving an interview. I'm not speaking because I'm in a quiet
00:48:09.480
period. This is about rebuilding trust this year. How can people have trust in these institutions
00:48:13.880
when governments wield so much control? Mrs. Lagarde, where's the privacy of the people?
00:48:19.080
Shouldn't you be answering questions if this conference's theme is rebuilding trust, ma'am?
00:48:24.280
He's a, he's skillful and you definitely lost some talent there because, and, but you know,
00:48:29.320
the great thing is Canada's, Canada's going to gain something there. You know where he's coming from
00:48:33.640
with what he's saying there. That was a really good question that he asked her and something that
00:48:37.880
I wish we actually got an answer to. Well, I mean that I'm, I'm having a quiet period. It's just,
00:48:43.000
it's so perfect for the WEF and how they regard the regular people. And Andrew, such a talented
00:48:48.200
journalist. It's sad to lose him. Although I know he's going to do great things in parliament.
00:48:51.560
Another one he caught up with, this was from a few years ago. He caught up with none other than
00:48:55.800
Mark Carney trying to do an interview on the streets there in Davos. Let's play that clip.
00:49:00.200
Hi, Mr. Carney. Andrew Rotten with True North and Canada. How are you?
00:49:03.880
Nice to see you. I never do, I never do spontaneously.
00:49:09.080
I understand. My one question is because the Canadian oil and gas sector survive
00:49:12.600
the net zero approach that's being promoted here. I, as I said, I never do. You want,
00:49:18.520
if you want an interview with me, uh, like everybody else, you make a request.
00:49:26.360
Uh, yeah, he, he never accepted the actual interview surprise surprise, but at least, uh,
00:49:30.520
I like how he, he does an interview cause he's answering the questions just to say,
00:49:34.280
I don't do interviews. It's like, well, whether you realize that or not, Mr. Carney, you're literally
00:49:37.880
doing an interview, um, right now. Okay. I, I, I have to throw to this Kian, cause this is, uh,
00:49:42.840
something that made you even more famous than you already were. I don't know how you did it.
00:49:46.120
Um, but we have this clip of you from the summer of, was it 2023?
00:49:52.840
Oh, with Trudeau. Yeah. Uh, it was last summer.
00:49:55.080
Last summer. Okay. So, so here is, uh, Kian Bexie who managed to catch up with none other than the
00:50:00.680
Prime Minister of Canada, uh, while he was on vacations by that clip.
00:50:03.960
All right. Have you enjoyed your time on vacation?
00:50:11.080
I'm happy to speak with you, because actually this is the first time
00:50:19.960
We want to know why you can justify going on a chartered government flight
00:50:25.880
when your minister says that going on a simple road trip,
00:50:37.640
You can ask me one question and I'll ask you one question.
00:50:38.840
You can ask me one question and I'll ask you one question.
00:50:40.440
Do you think Prime Ministers should be able to have a family life?
00:50:53.080
Do you think Prime Ministers get to have a family life?
00:50:55.560
Journalists also get to have access to Prime Ministers.
00:51:00.920
Well, I wanted to know if you're hiding from your caucus,
00:51:08.200
And I've had many, many conversations and meetings with caucus.
00:51:13.960
That's just the absolute best kind of journalism.
00:51:18.360
You know, we were just talking about how Canadians don't really have access
00:51:25.240
Tell us a little bit about how you managed to get Justin Trudeau
00:51:34.040
He, unlike most democratically elected leaders in the Western world,
00:51:40.120
we don't get a detailed itinerary from Justin Trudeau.
00:51:43.320
We know where Donald Trump is every second of every day.
00:51:46.280
Maybe that comes with having the codes to nuclear weapons.
00:51:51.800
But all we got was that he was in British Columbia taking personal days.
00:51:55.400
So I thought, okay, where is he likely to be in BC?
00:52:01.160
I checked the Tofino Facebook group and they're like,
00:52:10.200
And we go out there and we walk around and we find his motorcade.
00:52:15.880
We see his RCMP detail between this house that we knew that he had stayed at in the past
00:52:22.600
And we just sort of waited out there in beach gear, sort of.
00:52:25.880
If we could catch him on a stroll, then we'd ask him a few questions.
00:52:29.000
This wasn't something that I thought would be extremely controversial.
00:52:31.560
Global News did this before when he went to that very same house on Truth and Reconciliation Day.
00:52:38.600
A news organization deemed it to be newsworthy.
00:52:41.480
And the reaction, the value that people saw in that afterwards deemed it as well.
00:52:46.680
And his minister had just told Canadians that going on a road, like the context of this is
00:52:51.000
his minister, just Mark Holland said that going on a road trip is causing the world to burn.
00:52:57.400
And it is the responsibility of Canadians to ration how often they go on vacation.
00:53:02.360
And then Justin Trudeau charters a private jet.
00:53:05.080
Right. Because somehow us driving in our car for like two hours is going to like end the planet.
00:53:09.400
I mean, while this guy's off on a private jet going around the country.
00:53:20.840
He thinks that he has been bestowed on Canada by God to save us as a Trudeau.
00:53:33.880
No, I was glad that I was able to like get some.
00:53:36.600
I had a lot of questions stacked up over time to ask him.
00:53:40.920
But you could tell from the start of that interview that he didn't think I was a journalist.
00:53:44.200
He thought that I was just a regular guy on vacation because I was in beach gear probably.
00:53:48.680
But, you know, we had some serious questions to ask him and I was glad we were able to.
00:53:52.200
The reaction was, you know, from our audience, they were very happy.
00:53:56.200
We get arrested when we show up to ask him questions, as evidenced by what happened with Mark Carney.
00:54:07.080
I've been arrested and hauled out of Rideau Hall when he was having a COVID press conference because his press advance, Terry Guion, who's a terrible, terrible piece of scum, human, worst person in the world.
00:54:21.320
Justin Trudeau has him deciding what journalists are allowed in and out.
00:54:28.440
So we, you know, we have to find novel ways of finding the prime minister.
00:54:34.280
The prime minister was on vacation, but he takes like 116 days of vacation a year.
00:54:39.400
So it's like a one in three chance that he's going to be on vacation on any given day.
00:54:43.800
So are we just not allowed to talk to the prime minister for a third of the year?
00:54:49.880
And the reaction that they had was just completely unhinged.
00:54:53.080
Personal attacks, death threats, threatening to show up at private events of my family, unhinged behavior.
00:55:05.320
I don't control an economy and I don't get paid like 200 bajillion dollars a year.
00:55:12.120
And he has an obligation to respond to questions and explain to Canadians why he thinks he still
00:55:20.760
This was right after his poll numbers plummeted.
00:55:23.000
He was pulling at like 20% at this point in time.
00:55:31.400
Well, liberals told me that I was just an evil, terrible person for doing this.
00:55:34.680
Conservatives, they loved it because they knew that this is the only way you can actually get questions.
00:55:39.480
The mainstream media, although that there's that one guy, I think his name was Jordan Armstrong,
00:55:44.680
came to that same beach house to ask him questions two years prior.
00:55:47.800
Not many people in the parliamentary press gallery would ask him the questions that I asked him.
00:55:53.640
I have to give you credit because you could see, I was first of all to say,
00:55:57.000
I was impressed by Justin Trudeau for kind of pushing.
00:56:00.680
He kind of pushed him back and said, I'm going to go for a walk with Kian.
00:56:03.320
He kind of grabs you and he's really up close to you doing what Trudeau does,
00:56:09.240
And he was trying to evoke sympathy and he was trying to come across as very human.
00:56:14.920
Like you answered his questions and you were super respectful.
00:56:18.200
I don't think you were unruly, respectful, but you weren't buying into his BS.
00:56:22.600
He's probably not used to being able to, you know, he puts on the charm and then the people
00:56:27.640
And that's everyone around him, probably his entire life.
00:56:30.680
So I think it was a little bit, um, you know, put them off guard for, for someone like you
00:56:35.160
to be so firm, but also this is of their own making, right?
00:56:38.760
They create an environment where independent journalists who have valid questions who speak
00:56:42.280
for millions and millions of Canadians don't get the chance to actually ask our prime minister.
00:56:46.680
Like I would love for you to go find Justin Trudeau wherever he is right now and do the same
00:56:50.280
thing and be like, why haven't you stepped down?
00:56:53.240
Why are you putting liberal party ahead of the good of the country?
00:57:00.120
There's again, a million questions that Canadians would love to know of this guy.
00:57:04.680
I don't know why they're not answering these questions.
00:57:06.360
And this is all Justin Trudeau's fault for not allowing you in in the first place.
00:57:09.320
He's made his own bed when it comes to this kind of thing, um, by sheltering himself from
00:57:14.360
questions that are, you know, Donald Trump lets any reporter ask him tough questions.
00:57:23.880
I mean, Justin Trudeau just doesn't, I think that they know deep down, he doesn't have the
00:57:28.680
He is disarming a little bit when you're interviewing like that.
00:57:31.320
You mentioned he grabs you, like he physically grabbed me and said, okay, we're walking this
00:57:37.960
I've heard a lot of people say that he does that to them.
00:57:40.280
And it's weird when it happens to you, um, he's very handsy person and he tries to control
00:57:45.560
the conversation and because he he's, that's who he, who he is.
00:57:49.640
He thinks that everything revolves around him, that he determines when you can speak,
00:57:53.720
where you can stand, when you sit, when you talk.
00:57:56.600
And he, you know, he doesn't like answering questions.
00:57:59.240
So that's, that's sort of played into this whole nine years of him avoiding any sort of
00:58:03.960
accountability and us having to find novel and unique ways to speak to him.
00:58:07.880
Well, it's not a good sign that Mark Carney is doing the same thing, hiring the same thugs.
00:58:12.280
I do think he'll be the next prime minister of this country.
00:58:16.440
Hopefully at some point we'll get a democratic election.
00:58:20.920
I encourage everyone to go check out my website, CandaceMalcolm.com.
00:58:24.920
I would love to get a million signatures and hand it to the governor general.
00:58:36.760
Thank you so much for coming out here and keep up the great work.
00:58:43.720
We'll be back again tomorrow with all the news.
