The Candice Malcolm Show - BREAKING： CBC hires Temporary Foreign Workers for media, business and tech jobs in Ontario

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Folks, we have some breaking news for you. This is an exclusive story from Juno News and The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:11.180 We are reporting today that the CBC, the Canadian State Broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has hired temporary foreign workers through its program.

00:00:21.740 They have issued labor market impact assessments, which means that they are looking for people who fit a certain job and when they can't find it, they can go ahead and hire temporary foreign workers.

00:00:32.800 They have hired 20 of them according to records and documents obtained by Juno News. This is really unbelievable, okay?

00:00:41.080 You have the State Broadcaster of Canada, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the organization that claims to speak for Canadians and represent Canadian culture and basically be Canada, right?

00:00:50.580 And yet they are hiring foreigners. They are participating in this program, temporary foreign worker program, that places foreigners ahead of Canadians. 0.50

00:01:00.340 This is really unbelievable. I'm going to walk you through it.

00:01:02.380 So the most recent approval for a temporary foreign worker came in Q3 of 2024. This dates back over the past decades.

00:01:09.760 But 20 people over the past decade have come through this temporary foreign worker program.

00:01:15.520 And the individual jobs that they have hired for, I mean, it's absurd, folks.

00:01:20.540 Computer programmers, computer network technicians, business management consultants, marketing research and consultants.

00:01:28.000 You have announcers and broadcasters, broadcast technicians, web designers and developers, and interactive media developers.

00:01:35.780 So the CBC, with a straight face, is claiming that they cannot find those people in Canada, that there are no people in the country that fit the description for their job.

00:01:46.420 And therefore, they have to go abroad and recruit foreigners to come and be broadcasters and announcers at the CBC, to be technicians, to do web design, to do web development.

00:01:57.220 It is just patently, patently false that you can't find those workers in Canada.

00:02:03.520 I mean, look around.

00:02:04.880 How many unemployed journalists are there in this country?

00:02:07.340 How many people have been laid off from places like the CBC and the Toronto Star and other legacy media broadcast companies because the legacy media is dying because Canadians aren't tuning in?

00:02:17.900 And yet they say that there is no Canadians that fill these jobs, and therefore they had to go through this scam program in our immigration system, the same scam program that is now letting in hundreds of thousands. 0.76

00:02:30.560 Remember, we reported earlier this week that there was supposed to be a cap, and the Liberal government has already blown through the cap after just six months of data.

00:02:37.860 The system is broken, and even the state broadcaster is partaking and taking advantage of this broken system.

00:02:46.500 And to talk a bit more about this, I'm pleased to introduce Alexander Brown.

00:02:50.500 Alexander has a show here at Juno News called Not Sorry.

00:02:53.620 He's also the director of communications, the director of the National Citizens Coalition.

00:02:57.740 Alexander, thanks for joining the show.

00:02:59.400 What do you think of our breaking news story here today?

00:03:02.020 Candace, you were right to call it a scam because that is what it is.

00:03:06.760 That is how we're seeing it be used now.

00:03:09.740 It is an excuse to suppress wages, to look for something very specific, sort of outside of the Canadian sort of normal job stream.

00:03:20.860 Anyone from now we know CBC employees to bakers, butchers, certainly truck drivers, which we go into on my latest episode quite in an in-depth manner.

00:03:31.680 Even those who worked on the temporary foreign worker program before 2015, with Jason Kenney, those key advisors, I've spoken with all of them, they were advising to abolish the program.

00:03:46.200 Like, because they saw the trouble coming.

00:03:48.200 They saw that companies were going to take advantage of this.

00:03:51.200 They saw that the wrong government in power would let them.

00:03:54.160 And now this is just completely out of control.

00:03:57.860 And if the CBC were to even be sticking to its mandate as the Canadian public broadcaster, they shouldn't be hiring a single person using the temporary foreign worker program.

00:04:10.220 Well, 100 percent.

00:04:11.200 There is no need to, right?

00:04:12.600 Like, we run Juno News.

00:04:13.760 We have a whole bunch of journalists, both on the True North side and the Juno News side.

00:04:16.840 There's no reason to hire a foreigner. 1.00

00:04:18.680 The news is based in Canada.

00:04:20.080 The audience is Canadian.

00:04:21.320 We deliver Canadian news.

00:04:22.660 And we're not taking a billion-plus dollars a year from the taxpayers.

00:04:26.500 I cannot imagine for a second why the Canadian Broadcasting Corp would need foreign workers.

00:04:32.100 And you're right to point out that the writing has been on the wall with this temporary foreign worker program forever, basically.

00:04:38.500 Like, I don't understand why we need to import cheap temporary labor, right?

00:04:43.720 It's one thing to say, hey, look, Canada wants to help grow the economy.

00:04:48.480 We want to give people from around the world the opportunity to come to Canada legally.

00:04:51.480 And we're going to pick the best and the brightest, and they can come.

00:04:53.900 And they can become Canadian.

00:04:55.040 They can join the Canadian family, have Canadian citizenship.

00:04:58.340 But the idea that we're going to just, like, temporarily bring people in to undercut the job market, to have cheap labor.

00:05:03.820 And, yes, it is being driven in large part by big corporations that just want cheap labor.

00:05:09.100 I want to talk a little bit about these labor market impact assessments, because this is part of the scam, right?

00:05:14.740 It's like you put out a fake job posting, basically, saying, oh, we're looking for this very specific, very niche position.

00:05:21.200 And if you can't find it, then you get to turn around and get a temporary foreign worker for the CBC.

00:05:27.840 See, it's interesting, because in our data on these labor market impact assessments, it shows that these are high-wage jobs.

00:05:34.880 These are high-wage jobs.

00:05:35.880 That's how they're classified, high wages.

00:05:37.800 This is all in Ontario.

00:05:39.580 And so the idea that they couldn't find a broadcaster, they couldn't find a web developer in Ontario is just such a joke.

00:05:46.420 And it underlines the idea that this LMIA, the Labor Market Impact Assessment Program, is just – it's fake.

00:05:52.980 It's just total nonsense.

00:05:55.060 It's the first step they're taking.

00:05:56.660 Like, there's this whole whisper network of, you know, how that's actually working out now.

00:06:01.060 But it's like they cut right to it, because you're offering $36 an hour for something very specific.

00:06:07.060 There's something embedded in the job description that, like, doesn't quite – you know, shouldn't actually be within the purview of what the role is.

00:06:13.960 Right now, Michelle Rempel-Garner, who's the shadow minister on immigration, the immigration critic, is doing really great work where she's going to, like, kind of like the LMIA job bank.

00:06:23.740 And she's just saying, like, hey, guys, these are the jobs that are – you know, these folks have already gotten approved for to go out to the temporary foreign worker program.

00:06:32.680 And it's just an astonishing range of $36 an hour well-paying positions that we all know Canadians who would be well-suited for and who are looking.

00:06:44.020 The unemployment numbers are massive.

00:06:46.640 Young men right now, it's 22%.

00:06:49.440 Like, that's worse than recessionary.

00:06:53.320 Like, that is – CIBC put out a warning saying, you know, these are recession numbers, but that's worse than that.

00:06:58.340 Well, and what does it say for, like, the future generation, right?

00:07:01.820 These are young men aged 15 to 24, and the fact that one in four, one in five of them can't find a job that's looking, like, what's going to become of these young men?

00:07:11.560 Sorry to cut you off.

00:07:12.460 No, at this point, this is, like, my entire raison d'etre for doing what I do.

00:07:17.200 I'm so mad on their behalf.

00:07:19.440 I have aged out of the young man demographic, but I see what's happening to them.

00:07:24.460 They're failing to launch.

00:07:25.580 You know, you talk to these guys, you hear their stories about submitting, you know, hundreds of resumes and it going nowhere.

00:07:33.000 History is littered with lessons about idle young men.

00:07:37.160 It doesn't go anywhere productive.

00:07:40.500 And then we're going to turn around and go, like, gee, like, what's going on here?

00:07:43.500 This is really, you know, unhealthy or these guys are really upset.

00:07:46.920 Of course they are.

00:07:47.960 They have no upward social mobility, and the government and corporate Canada are in on it.

00:07:53.640 Well, exactly.

00:07:54.120 And so, happy to see Pierre Polyev speaking in Charlottetown PEI yesterday, talking about how Canada is expected to bring in a record number of temporary foreign workers this year.

00:08:04.180 Let's play that clip.

00:08:04.660 As our young people have a quarter century high in their unemployment, Mark Carney brings in, this year is expected to bring in a record number of temporary foreign workers to take the jobs of Canadian youth, driving down our kids' wages and their ability to earn a living.

00:08:23.420 So while he drives up the cost of housing, preventing them from owning homes, he drives down their wages by allowing greedy multinational corporations to bring in low wage foreign workers that take away Canadian jobs, including in high unemployment regions of this country.

00:08:40.560 Makes no sense.

00:08:42.700 And so, Pierre Polyev, I think, hitting the right notes.

00:08:45.020 What do you think, Alex?

00:08:45.940 All over it.

00:08:46.820 He's all over it.

00:08:47.700 And that team's all over it.

00:08:49.040 And, like, to pull back the curtain a little bit, like, we all have sources.

00:08:53.500 We all talk to people.

00:08:54.380 They're going to be hitting it really hard in September with revised target numbers, specific stuff, not just a, gee, this is broken.

00:09:02.620 A friend, Jeff Russ, has a great piece in the National Post talking about, you know, this renewed fight is coming this September.

00:09:10.220 And it has to.

00:09:11.360 Like, I spent the summer calling for, with the National Citizens Coalition, you know, responsible immigration numbers, press releases on, you know, don't just buy Canadian, you know, with all that elbows up fervor.

00:09:22.300 And those are down now.

00:09:23.340 But hire Canadian. 1.00

00:09:25.060 And the conservatives see these trends coming.

00:09:27.480 They understand what their sort of modern coalition looks like with young people.

00:09:31.700 And, like, they have to stand up for them.

00:09:33.660 We have to stand up for them because the liberals aren't.

00:09:37.920 Well, that's 100 percent true.

00:09:39.240 And I'm happy to see immigration breaking through. 1.00

00:09:41.200 And I hope the conservatives are able to push the needle on this issue and, you know, go hard because it's necessary and it's long overdue.

00:09:49.840 I want to go back to the CBC because speaking of the National Post, I saw this story in the National Post on Tuesday.

00:09:55.900 CBC is heading to court to fight an order to disclose subscriber numbers for GEM streaming service.

00:10:02.580 This is a wild story.

00:10:04.200 So, for those who might not be aware, the CBC launched its own streaming service, like, to rival Netflix and Amazon Prime for some reason.

00:10:13.120 I have no idea why.

00:10:14.200 And even though they're a public broadcaster, they get money from the taxpayer, they are here to provide a service to Canadians, they also want to charge you to stream their news network, their 24-hour cable news network.

00:10:28.300 You have to pay $5.99 to do this.

00:10:30.240 And then they also throw in a bunch of movies and series.

00:10:34.360 And when you go on to the CBC GEM website, you'll see that the vast majority, Alex, like, from my count, eight out of the ten shows that they're promoting were not Canadian, right?

00:10:45.760 Like, the whole idea is that they're promoting Canadian culture and Canadian arts.

00:10:50.060 And yet, when you go ahead and you look at the shows that they are promoting here, Plan B, so that's the one Canadian show I am not familiar with this program.

00:10:59.220 I think I'll be skipping that one.

00:11:00.360 At all.

00:11:00.880 Yeah, it's a Canadian series.

00:11:02.120 But that's just the first one.

00:11:03.680 You go through Chateau DIY is a British-UK show about, like, I don't know, flipping castles or something like that, fixing up castles.

00:11:12.840 We have Boat Story, which is another British BBC miniseries.

00:11:17.940 Next, we have a show called Call-In from Accounts, which is a TV series from Australia.

00:11:24.060 We have a show called The Affair, which is a U.S. show.

00:11:27.380 I mean, you get where this is coming from, right?

00:11:29.320 It's like, why would Canadians pay a streaming service to watch American shows?

00:11:35.460 The whole business model of it doesn't really make sense to me, Alex.

00:11:39.020 But then on top of that, they refuse to disclose their numbers.

00:11:43.200 So, you know, presumably it's a state broadcaster.

00:11:45.280 It's become kind of common place for streaming companies to release their subscribers.

00:11:50.520 Like, find out how many people are paying to subscribe, how many people are free subscribers.

00:11:55.040 Let's see how it's doing, whether it's justified from a public perspective.

00:11:59.480 And CBC have been fighting against this access to information request that has been put in by this University of Ottawa professor.

00:12:06.040 So Matt Malone is an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa.

00:12:08.820 And he has been making access to information because he just believes in public transparency.

00:12:13.180 We have the right to know, you know, the CBC is charging money from consumers while also charging taxpayers.

00:12:19.740 So let's find out how many people are actually signing up for this program.

00:12:22.700 The CBC is doing everything in their power to block them, to refuse.

00:12:26.500 And so Matt Malone is taking them to court.

00:12:28.700 Good for him.

00:12:29.560 And saying, hey, you're the state broadcaster.

00:12:31.900 You answer to us, the citizens and the taxpayer, you know, like, have some transparency here.

00:12:38.100 The fact that the CBC would go to court over this is, it's pretty telling, right?

00:12:42.320 My guess is these numbers are pretty bad.

00:12:43.940 What do you think?

00:12:45.080 I think we know why that, you know, this is having to go to court too, is that they know that the numbers are terrible.

00:12:51.460 Like, it's, it's, I might, like, become immediately ostracized from conservative circles for saying that, like, I think the CBC has some utility.

00:13:00.220 But when it comes to scripted and international scripted, what the heck are we doing?

00:13:04.240 At least the BBC, you know, makes things with, with, you know, Benedict Cumberbatch and, and, like, esteemed thespians. 1.00

00:13:11.800 Like, we're just getting the world's slop.

00:13:14.580 And then we're turning around and going, no one's watching.

00:13:16.800 And we don't want to tell them the numbers because they're grisly.

00:13:19.560 And, you know, Canadians are being robbed of their purchasing power because our money's worth less because we're wasting money on this stuff.

00:13:26.540 Like, shout out to Juno News and your work.

00:13:29.620 You know, at the six-month anniversary, you release all those great numbers.

00:13:32.980 Like, look at all these great numbers we're doing.

00:13:34.340 You're being, you know, forthcoming.

00:13:37.060 You know, there are no subsidies here.

00:13:39.000 We're reaching tens of millions of people, you know, through the election.

00:13:42.220 I'm sure those numbers were staggering.

00:13:44.420 They know that if they actually, you know, go to market, those subscribers are in the thousands.

00:13:49.340 And, you know, the subsidies are in the billions.

00:13:53.380 It's really, like, it's such a mismatch.

00:13:55.220 And even just to add on to the waste, right, so we have a government agency that for some reason gets $1.4 billion a year from the taxpayers just to report the news, right?

00:14:05.520 To your point, there are many, many free market organizations that will do that because they can find a profit, right?

00:14:11.640 Like, they're doing it without the subsidies.

00:14:13.800 And, in fact, the other way around, we pay taxes, right?

00:14:16.200 So, you know, they're getting money that way.

00:14:18.080 Then they're turning around and charging people $5.99 a month for the privilege of getting to watch CBC News World.

00:14:23.100 Like, why isn't that just publicly available since we're already paying for it with our taxes?

00:14:26.800 And then on top of that, Alex, they're going to go to court and use countless resources to defend themselves against an access to information request, which is part of the public disclosure process.

00:14:37.740 So it should be, I mean, you should do it, right?

00:14:40.460 But instead, they're going to spend, who knows, hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars trying to block an attempt at transparency. 0.57

00:14:47.040 It's just like their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

00:14:50.580 We could have done the whole episode on this. 0.61

00:14:51.880 I can tell you're fired up.

00:14:53.300 Like, it's, like, for example, like, I'm the director of the National Citizens Coalition, and that is a nonprofit.

00:15:00.120 And we make the absolute most, the goal is to make the absolute most of, you know, impact and respecting donor dollars.

00:15:08.500 Like, I work from home.

00:15:09.520 I limit my business travel.

00:15:11.520 You know, I'm in my shoebox apartment in Vancouver right now.

00:15:16.040 Like, it's, they fought tooth and nail to, you know, not disclose, you know, lavish executive bonuses, too, because they know it looks bad.

00:15:25.520 Whenever you open up the books and you're not above board and you're trying to pull the wool over people's eyes, like, it's going to come out.

00:15:34.660 And it's going to look bad and it's not remotely relatable.

00:15:37.580 And that darn service that might be useful to people during the Olympics because they get to keep up with Team Canada, the actual Team Canada, not the fake Liberal Team Canada, for that to be $5.99 is an insult. 0.83

00:15:49.080 It should be free. 0.98

00:15:49.760 And, but it shouldn't even be free because what are we doing?

00:15:53.500 We could be saving billions of dollars.

00:15:56.080 100%.

00:15:56.560 Okay, we've got a couple more examples of the ridiculous successes over at the CBC, but first a quick word from our sponsor.

00:16:02.600 So the Trudeau government had laid the groundwork, but now with Mark Carney in charge, it feels like the government's getting bolder about deciding what we're allowed to see online.

00:16:11.900 News stories disappear from social media, content gets blocked, and it's all framed as safety or regulations.

00:16:17.880 We know too well about this, by the way, here at Juno News and the Candace Malcolm Show.

00:16:21.580 Some of our best episodes from the election are no longer here.

00:16:25.620 They just disappeared from YouTube, from Google searches.

00:16:28.860 We know exactly why.

00:16:30.180 They're usually the most damning stories about the Liberal government that happened to just disappear.

00:16:35.440 Well, folks, that is why I use ExpressVPN.

00:16:37.920 It lets me get around those blocks and access the Internet like a free person, which I am.

00:16:42.580 I was born free and I will die free.

00:16:44.620 And it's not up to Ottawa to decide whether or not that's acceptable.

00:16:47.540 Now, you can do the same thing.

00:16:48.740 Head on over to CandaceMalcolm.com slash ExpressVPN.

00:16:53.000 It's CandaceMalcolm.com slash ExpressVPN.

00:16:55.380 Viewers of the Candace Malcolm Show get a special three-month free when you sign up for a year.

00:16:59.520 Go ahead and do that right now.

00:17:01.360 OK, Alex, the CBC keeps getting more and more expensive.

00:17:05.060 And every time there's an election, it seems like the Liberal government just goes ahead and bids more money to the CBC.

00:17:10.060 If Pierre Polyev had won, I hope he would follow through on his promise to defund the CBC.

00:17:15.440 I disagree with you.

00:17:16.220 I don't think it serves a public purpose at all.

00:17:19.200 Even the idea of, you know, hitting you doing radio and servicing small communities, it doesn't really make sense anymore because of podcasters and people who go and do citizen journalism.

00:17:31.320 Like, I can tell a lot more about what's happening in a small town if there's an emergency or something like that, just going on Twitter or going on X, than paying the CBC to have a bureaucracy.

00:17:40.560 Well, you know, $1.4 billion was spent on the state Budcrestor in 2023-2024.

00:17:47.180 And our friends over at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation found out that there is a 65-page list of CBC employees who make over $100,000 a year.

00:17:58.180 It is really, really unbelievable.

00:17:59.740 There are over 200 people at the CBC who earn that high, high wage, including 180 managers, 277 senior managers, 124 directors, 106 senior directors, 28 executive producers.

00:18:16.160 I don't think they know what an executive producer is because usually that's the lead producer.

00:18:20.080 I don't know why you need 28 of those.

00:18:22.160 But it goes on and on and on.

00:18:23.860 And there's just so much waste.

00:18:25.740 And part of it, to your point, is that they're paying themselves ridiculous salaries and then they're giving themselves bonuses on top of that.

00:18:32.040 What do you make of it?

00:18:33.160 Yeah.

00:18:33.500 I mean, it's also when you're reading out that list.

00:18:35.920 And first of all, it's very funny that they have their own sunshine list at this point.

00:18:39.760 Like, you could, you know, it could be its own Toronto Sun giant, giant thing.

00:18:44.720 But it's as their managers, it's managerial bloat.

00:18:49.120 These are the same issues that you hear from doctors, like, in our healthcare sector, which is, it's like, oh, our employment in our hospital is growing.

00:18:56.440 And it's like, it's just middle management and administrators and another person on a keyboard with, like, a not particularly real job.

00:19:04.840 That's not, you know, we know we're not serving the public with that kind of growth, with that sort of bureaucratic growth.

00:19:13.420 And particularly in the case of the state broadcaster, who benefits from 10 more executive producers at the CBC when half those people would be for daytime television that's, you know, watched by, you know, 10,000 moms, maybe.

00:19:27.500 And it is directed towards advertisers who aren't even getting their dollars worth.

00:19:32.320 And it's being subsidized by us at a time when all of our public services are underwater.

00:19:39.280 Like, all of them.

00:19:40.800 And our purchasing power is underwater.

00:19:43.120 And so you can, right there, I knew I would get in trouble by saying, you know, there's, you know, part of the CBC, you know, there should be some utility.

00:19:50.500 Or to me there is.

00:19:51.480 But, like, you can just cut that whole list.

00:19:54.140 I'm okay with that.

00:19:55.140 We can agree on that one.

00:19:56.160 Well, it is interesting that, you know, you mentioned that there's, like, the added middle managers and sort of paper pushers at desks that have been added.

00:20:04.960 And you're right.

00:20:05.380 It happens basically at every bureaucracy.

00:20:07.720 I mean, we saw this under the Trudeau government.

00:20:09.980 I think it was that the bureaucracy doubled in size.

00:20:12.860 Or that they added 99,000 or 100,000 new positions in the federal bureaucracy.

00:20:19.660 Like, so many of those roles, I mean, I don't know.

00:20:23.440 I don't know if they're useful or not because, like you said, they're administrators.

00:20:27.000 It happens in education as well that you have just as many education bureaucrats as actual teachers.

00:20:32.460 And so class sizes are getting bigger and parents are complaining about the diminishing educational standards and diminishing test scores.

00:20:39.600 And instead of hiring more teachers and more educators, they're putting in more bureaucrats who are the ones that are pushing the woke, like, DEI, ESG agenda.

00:20:50.740 And so it's, like, it's just such an easy call that these people can't, like, we have to stop doing this.

00:20:56.820 We have to stop creating these jobs.

00:20:58.420 They're make-work programs for university grads that would otherwise be unemployed, I guess.

00:21:02.700 And then, you know, to make matters worse, the CBC is turning around and hiring foreign workers for some of these positions as well, which is outrageous.

00:21:10.020 It's outrageous.

00:21:10.740 And, like, they are make-work projects.

00:21:12.120 Like, this is the equivalent of, like, driving past that construction site where you never see anyone doing anything and you see the sign that this was, like, contracted out to the government or Metrolinx or something.

00:21:22.060 It's – who is it really serving?

00:21:25.900 Like, we're just spinning our wheels and wasting our time with this stuff.

00:21:30.160 And a lot of these managerial jobs, like, especially with what's changing quickly in industries with AI, the role of AI, these people are just drone pilots for Grok and ChatGPT.

00:21:42.380 Like, they're not actually doing anything.

00:21:44.600 And, like, you could – a kid could do that for cheaper coming out of university who we're actually trying to launch and we're actually trying to build up their upward social mobility.

00:21:53.000 There's no reason for that to be in a $100,000 position when there's already 20 of them at the company and they're just moving letters and numbers and they're not really even doing that themselves anymore.

00:22:05.260 Well, and it's so interesting, too, that, like, we had this story – I think it was last week or two weeks ago – that the private sector workforce in Canada is now made up – I think it's 20% of temporary foreign workers.

00:22:18.520 And so when you just step back and you look at the Canadian workforce, right, we have this huge problem of youth unemployment, as we were discussing.

00:22:24.760 We have a huge influx of temporary workers who don't really have a stake in our future, or at least by law they don't.

00:22:31.520 I mean, maybe they want to transition to become permanent residents, but that's not the type of visa that they came to the country on.

00:22:37.040 So the presumption is that they're going to leave eventually, which I don't know why you would even want that in your country, Alex.

00:22:43.160 And then on top of that, you know, you have all of this bloat and all of these kind of middlemen – I mean, I wish that we had a more entrepreneurial sense in our country, that we had more people not in, like, a cushy job in the bureaucracy where they're just, you know, there for the pension and they're taking it easy and not working very hard.

00:23:03.000 But we could really benefit from more of this bright, well-educated, smart people going out there and starting jobs and being innovative and pushing the ball forward to grow our economy and create more opportunities for everybody.

00:23:16.820 But instead, they kind of get, like, lured in to these, like, complacent positions in the economy.

00:23:21.680 What do you think?

00:23:22.100 It really speaks to Canada's tall poppy syndrome, which is, you know, oh, you're too successful.

00:23:28.320 How dare you?

00:23:29.120 Like, we are putting in our own glass ceilings.

00:23:31.460 Like, people are seeing the chair that they can graduate into and then they get there and then they just, like, okay, I'm done.

00:23:37.760 I'm going to block, you know, all these kids below me.

00:23:40.500 I remember during the election, Tristan Hopper, writer for the National Post, made the analogy that, like, the carny voters, like, pulled up the ladder.

00:23:47.580 And then not only did they pull up the ladder, they, like, threw down a grenade and that's what we're doing.

00:23:52.840 Like, it's, it's, there's supposed to be ladders to success.

00:23:57.160 There's supposed to be avenues to explore and get into that this, this country, I know that, like, there, there are some who now just view, like, modern, the modern global economy as just some, like, a country's an economic zone.

00:24:11.860 It's not.

00:24:12.460 This was, it's, it's supposed to benefit these kids first and that it isn't is just going to make them more upset, drive them into alienation, potential radicalization.

00:24:22.740 It's, it's, like, I see what would have happened to me.

00:24:25.780 I, I, I come by this shared frustration honestly.

00:24:28.540 Like, I came out of university.

00:24:29.980 I studied poli sci.

00:24:31.160 That wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.

00:24:33.360 I needed to work on campaigns.

00:24:34.780 I needed to work real jobs.

00:24:35.980 I needed to figure it out.

00:24:36.960 And a lot of those jobs were Joe jobs, gardening, pumping gas, you know, you have telemarketing.

00:24:43.340 Like, and I wouldn't even have had those now, which means I would have been at home.

00:24:46.660 I would have been upset.

00:24:47.580 I would have been spending too much time on the internet and I would have been watching all these Canadian charts go in the wrong direction.

00:24:53.200 And, and now we're going to turn around and go like, gee, I can't believe, you know, all these kids are supporting the conservatives or, or gee, all these kids, you know, are really going through it.

00:25:02.160 And, you know, we have mental health crises and, and, and you name it.

00:25:05.600 And it's like, what did you expect?

00:25:07.800 We're abandoning them wholesale and, and corporate Canada and the liberal government and, and all these lousy interests and, and even sort of not so conservative, conservative governments, just, they aren't doing right by them.

00:25:19.980 And they have to, and we have to be kind of pricks about this the next little while.

00:25:25.020 Cause you know, come, come September it's, it's, if they try to get away with this, no.

00:25:30.760 Well, yeah, we're done with it.

00:25:32.680 I feel that way too.

00:25:33.540 It's like, I'm done watching my country be destroyed by top down sort of WEF interests.

00:25:39.800 And I don't care, right?

00:25:41.360 Like for so long, they could sit there and say, oh, you're talking about immigration.

00:25:45.160 Therefore you're racist. 0.97

00:25:46.020 And I'm going to write you off. 0.97

00:25:47.480 And for a while, conservatives were kind of flat foot and maybe saying like, oh, okay, I guess we just shouldn't talk about immigration anymore.

00:25:53.200 Well, that's, that's over now.

00:25:54.240 That's gone.

00:25:54.680 And we, you can't use that excuse because it's so self-evident to everyone in Canada, including people who themselves are foreign born and immigrants who came to Canada legally.

00:26:04.640 They can look around and see that the situation is broken and that it desperately needs fixing.

00:26:10.180 Well, Alex, we always appreciate your time and insight and everyone go check out his show, Not Sorry.

00:26:14.880 You're going to see a lot more of his pointed criticisms, especially on immigration.

00:26:19.580 It's a great show.
