The Candice Malcolm Show - Carney CAVES to Trump, admits tariffs are here to stay

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning in,

00:00:08.000 folks. We have a great episode for you today. Now, I don't know if it's just me, maybe because

00:00:12.480 I'm a journalist and I host this podcast and I run Juno News. It seems like everyone I talk to,

00:00:17.800 every conversation, every time I go out for lunch with friends or meet up with someone,

00:00:21.460 talk to someone, even catching up online, the issue comes forward that Canada is broken,

00:00:26.860 that there is serious problems in our country. They're wide ranging. We discuss so many of the

00:00:32.400 topics here on the show, but to me, it all comes back to immigration. Canada's immigration system

00:00:38.880 has been destroyed. It has been decimated by the Trudeau liberals. And it seems to me that the

00:00:44.740 Carney government is just continuing down the same path. They have no real plan to fix things.

00:00:50.720 And so from my perspective, the thing that the Conservatives need to do is craft a strong

00:00:56.840 message on immigration, craft a better message, put forth a better position to change, have more

00:01:02.820 distance between them and the Liberals. And it's just so easy, right? All it takes is just say,

00:01:08.380 let's go back to how things were before Justin Trudeau became prime minister and flung the doors

00:01:13.860 wide open. Well, we didn't see enough on that front from Pierre Pauly of the Conservative leader

00:01:18.740 during the recent federal election, but there have been some good signs, folks. There have been some

00:01:23.860 positive signs that he is willing to take on this thorny issue, that he wants changes, that he sees

00:01:30.600 the same problems that you and I see, that so many of the problems in our country come back to this

00:01:35.560 broken immigration system. So I want to walk you through what has happened. So back in June, on June

00:01:40.920 10th, Pierre Pauly of was asked specifically his take on Bill C2, that is the Mark Carney government's bill

00:01:47.700 to crack down on fentanyl and drug smuggling. And there's a couple provisions in there to crack

00:01:53.680 down on fake asylum seekers, people who come to the country, they stay, overstay their visa. And then

00:01:58.420 rather than going home, rather than leaving the country when they should, they just throw up their

00:02:02.680 hands and say, actually, I'm a refugee, they put an asylum claim. So Mark Carney is taking a few steps

00:02:08.160 to address his very small area of our immigration law. Pierre Pauly of was asked about that policy

00:02:15.820 about Bill C2. And I'm going to show you what he said, because it was actually quite good. I think

00:02:20.220 that he took a step further than we'd heard him take during the federal election. And he basically

00:02:24.860 said, look, Canada needs severe limits on our population growth. 100% we do. So let's play that

00:02:31.660 clip. You support a stronger border. We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage

00:02:38.520 the Liberals did to our system. The population has been growing out of control. Our borders have been

00:02:44.640 left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs. So, so Pierre Pauly of does correctly

00:02:52.220 diagnose the problem that with severe open borders, we've seen severe population growth, not intentional,

00:02:57.560 not the native born population, growing the population as you should through, you know,

00:03:02.640 people having children and growing the population naturally, but by importing people from all over

00:03:07.720 the world, including people, frankly, who have no business being in Canada, people who are not 0.96

00:03:11.380 enriching our country or making it better. And so what happened when Pierre Pauly of made that comment?

00:03:16.940 Well, the legacy media, the Laurentian elites absolutely lost their minds, right? They flipped out.

00:03:22.120 Here is the headline from Global News. Pauly of calls for severe limits on population growth.

00:03:29.980 Everybody's favorite grumpy Laurentian elite, Andrew Coyne of the Globe and Mail and of the CBC

00:03:35.860 writes this on X. He goes, he's panicking. This is awful.

00:03:43.380 Okay, Andrew Coyne, can you tell me exactly what is awful about a conservative leader saying,

00:03:49.540 hey, population growth is out of control because the Trudeau liberals have absolutely no controls

00:03:55.180 on our immigration system. And so yeah, we need to get that out of control. I don't think Pierre

00:03:59.720 Pauly is panicking. And no, I don't think it's awful. I think that he's actually finally hitting

00:04:04.320 the nail on the head and talking about the real problem in the country and the source of that real

00:04:09.240 problem. It wasn't just Andrew Coyne. Here we have David Gordon Cook, who is the head of the

00:04:14.380 New Brunswick Media Co-op, a social justice reporter here, saying this is just pathetic race-baiting.

00:04:22.240 It's race-baiting now to notice that our immigration system is broken. So just noticing that the Trudeau

00:04:29.080 government took a fairly functioning immigration system where we let in about a quarter million

00:04:34.100 people a year to flinging open the doors wide open, letting in somewhere between two and three

00:04:39.040 million people a year, just noticing that apparently is pathetic race-baiting. Finally,

00:04:44.460 we have the former liberal immigration minister, Justin Trudeau's immigration minister, one of the

00:04:49.100 people who is actually at fault here. This is what he wrote on X. He says,

00:04:53.780 Pauly is flailing after his call for severe limits on Canada's immigration. And yes, there is a clip that

00:04:59.860 goes along with that. So let's play that clip.

00:05:01.900 He doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, anybody who has eyes and has access to the internet

00:05:22.440 has probably seen some of the videos that circulate online showing some of the cultural problems that

00:05:28.440 happen from open mass immigration. And look, we can look up the numbers, right? We can check out

00:05:32.860 Stats Canada. We can check out the immigration website to see that, yes, the liberal government

00:05:38.340 has led in tremendous amounts of people from the developing world, and it is growing much,

00:05:44.840 much faster than it had previously. We'll get to all those numbers in just a few minutes. But I

00:05:48.900 wanted to, that's all leading us up to what happened this week. So after that comment from

00:05:54.700 Pierre Polyev in Ottawa, he's been in Alberta, he's been at the Calgary Stampede, he's been campaigning

00:06:00.080 in the by-election. Well, he was back in Ottawa, and I believe this is the first time he was in front

00:06:04.940 of the Ottawa Press Gallery, having a press conference, since that initial event. And so

00:06:10.860 you know that Ottawa journalists, they all hate conservatives, they all hate Pierre Polyev,

00:06:14.720 and they're all just waiting for their turn to try to give a gotcha question, a gotcha moment.

00:06:19.340 And so we had that yesterday. Paul Dutch from Global News made the comment saying, you know,

00:06:24.820 you previously said that you wanted severe limits on population growth in Canada. Can you go ahead

00:06:29.920 and clarify what you mean by that? And here is how Pierre Polyev responded.

00:06:34.920 To fix the problem, we've got to have, we need to put very hard caps on immigration levels. We need 1.00

00:06:42.640 more people leaving than coming for the next couple of years. And we need, so our country can actually

00:06:49.140 catch up. Our immigration policy should invite the right people and the right numbers in a way that

00:06:56.500 puts Canada and Canadians first. 100%. So Pierre Polyev has doubled down. He has ignored what the

00:07:03.560 legacy media have said. He's ignored what the fancy people, what the Andrew Coyne types have said,

00:07:07.760 all the pearl clutching, like, oh my goodness, you can't talk about immigration. How dare you even

00:07:12.140 mention that we lower the population rather than constantly grow the population through immigration.

00:07:16.580 And Pierre Polyev is doing the right thing. He's doubling down and saying, no, I didn't just misspeak

00:07:21.320 last time when I had that press conference. I was being deliberate. This is a deliberate shift in

00:07:25.900 policy for the Conservatives. They are saying enough is enough. We cannot have mass immigration when we're 1.00

00:07:31.560 dealing with all of the problems that we are dealing with today. All right, folks, to help me dive into

00:07:36.240 this a little deeper, I'm pleased to be joined by Wyatt Claypool. He is a political commentator,

00:07:40.480 founder of the National Telegraph. Wyatt, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.

00:07:43.800 Absolutely. Thanks for having me on. Well, we have some exciting news as well. Wyatt will be

00:07:47.680 joining Juno News as a contributor, as a show host starting later this week. I believe you're

00:07:52.300 filming your first episode with us at some point this week. So, Wyatt, we're very excited to have

00:07:56.720 you joining the network. Yeah, it could be a lot of fun or it could be a complete disaster,

00:08:01.200 but that's on you for making the decision. Right on. Okay, well, what do you make of Pierre Polyev

00:08:07.140 and this apparent shift, I think, in the right direction, doubling down on his comments and saying,

00:08:12.000 no, no, we do need to severely limit immigration in Canada. What do you think?

00:08:16.740 Well, it's not just Pierre Polyev rejecting the sort of conventional wisdom of Andrew Coyne types and

00:08:22.660 the rest of the legacy media and the political establishment. It's also him apparently rejecting

00:08:28.300 the, I guess, the opinions of his advisors during the election because he ran on a cap of 200,000,

00:08:35.260 250,000 new permanent residents to match the number of new houses being built per year,

00:08:40.880 but that didn't even exactly limit new temporary foreign workers or foreign students. So this is a

00:08:46.980 big shift and I think it's actually a very big win for the independent media and online commentators

00:08:52.380 because I don't think you could find any conservative commentator or independent media outlet

00:08:58.060 who liked the more mild reductions that he was pitching during the election. It was better than what the

00:09:04.980 liberals were doing, so naturally it was still way more, you know, it was preferable. But this is genuinely

00:09:12.480 probably what we were all asking for. People must leave if their visas are expired and who cares if the 0.99

00:09:18.440 population goes down if people currently can't even afford homes.

00:09:21.880 Well, it's kind of funny because during the election, there was sort of a lot of noises in

00:09:27.240 the independent space about how Mark Wiseman, the head of the Century Initiative, had joined

00:09:31.640 Mark Carney's campaign. And of course, the Century Initiative is this sort of like liberal think tank

00:09:36.500 that they want to deliberately increase our country's population to 100 million by the end of

00:09:42.120 the century, which is just so shockingly, it's such a shocking change, right? Like 100 million,

00:09:48.240 it won't be Canada anymore, right? It will just be a hodgepodge of all these other people who have not

00:09:52.880 assimilated into Canada, right? Like when I was growing up, Canada's population was 30 million,

00:09:57.040 now it's 40 million, right? We've boosted that population by 10 million in the last, I don't know,

00:10:02.020 15, 20 years. And is the country any better for it? I don't know. But I would argue the country is a

00:10:08.220 lot worse than it was 15, 20 years ago. But the idea was that the media and the Liberal Party,

00:10:13.300 they didn't want anything to do with that association. They distanced themselves from it. In fact,

00:10:16.920 legacy media said that it was propagandistic and fake news to say that the Liberals wanted that

00:10:22.360 100 million population. And yet when Pierre Polyev just says the exact opposite, that no, no, we need

00:10:26.860 to decrease our population, again, pearl clutching. So it kind of proves the theory that no, they do 0.76

00:10:31.740 want, like the goal here is to drastically increase Canada's population. They want that, I mean, maybe

00:10:37.060 it won't be 100 million, but they want a bigger population. They want to artificially boost our

00:10:41.800 population. And I just want to show viewers exactly what we're talking about, because the Fraser Institute

00:10:46.060 earlier this summer had a report just outlining what we're talking about. So the headline was the

00:10:52.380 average annual immigration was 617,000 on average from 2000 to 2015, compared to 1.4 million from 2016

00:11:01.320 to 2024. So Justin Trudeau almost grew it by 3x. And let's just look at that breakdown. There's a graph

00:11:08.960 showing the types of people that are coming. And so folks, the bottom blue line there is the number

00:11:15.180 of permanent residents that come to Canada. So people who deliberately want to come move their

00:11:19.460 families to Canada, settle here, become Canadian essentially, be on a pathway towards Canadian

00:11:25.760 citizen. I think that generally speaking, those are the kinds of people that we want, people who

00:11:29.500 want to come to Canada and, you know, be part of our future and be part of the Canadian community.

00:11:35.100 And then the second color on top of that, the pink, are temporary or non-permanent

00:11:41.680 immigration. Look, I would argue that that is, even under the Harper government, if we can just

00:11:46.620 leave that graph back on, even under the Harper government, that number was still too high,

00:11:51.960 right? 51% of the people coming to the country are just here for a few years and then they leave,

00:11:56.960 or they're here as seasonal workers and they leave, or they're here for student visas. I mean,

00:12:00.380 yeah, you could argue that you should probably have what, five or 10% student visas. People can

00:12:05.580 come and study at our institutions if they're world-class physicists or mathematicians, or if

00:12:10.220 they, again, want an opportunity to come to Canada. But I would even argue that that 50% number is too 0.67

00:12:15.760 high. And you can see that it was going up. And then you can see the white line halfway through,

00:12:19.640 that's 2015. And look at what has happened under the liberal government, the absolute proliferation

00:12:25.680 population of temporary workers, up to 76% of the newcomers. You can see that that number's

00:12:31.560 gone all the way up to, what, 2.1 million people per year coming into this country, Wyatt. I mean,

00:12:40.920 I, like, to me, if you're going to let people in, like, let them in, right? Let them be part of the

00:12:45.740 community. Let them integrate. Welcome to Canada. Become a Canadian citizen. Come all in. Learn the

00:12:50.040 English or French, depending on where you're living, but become Canadian. But when you have this huge,

00:12:54.180 giant class of people that are kind of in limbo, that don't really have a stake in the future,

00:12:59.160 that don't really have any incentive to become Canadian. I mean, this is the problem in my books.

00:13:04.960 And this is what Pierre Polyev needs to focus on, saying we need to stop this. What do you think?

00:13:11.680 And the justification for this level of immigration is based off of a few lies. With the Temporary 0.92

00:13:17.560 Foreign Worker Program, it's the idea that Canadians don't want to work these jobs that these workers 1.00

00:13:21.580 are filling. Well, no business would hire these TFW immigrants in order to fill these jobs either, 1.00

00:13:27.660 because they're subsidized workers. If the subsidy was not there, they would probably not be hiring

00:13:33.580 them, which means that businesses are obviously not going to hire a Canadian, because the Canadian 0.70

00:13:38.440 doesn't get $3.50 an hour, like, taken off of their wages in terms of, like, what the government's

00:13:44.160 going to comp the business who's paying them. And when it comes to permanent residences and other

00:13:50.020 immigrants, you have people say, well, we need immigration to be at this level, because, 0.92

00:13:55.680 you know, the birth rate isn't very high. And so we need to make sure that we maintain our

00:13:59.380 population so we can pay for our social programs. But you'll have studies come out of the UK showing

00:14:04.080 that if you actually do pursue a policy of mass immigration, you actually push your birth rate

00:14:09.120 down even further, because it turns out people don't really want to build a stable family in a

00:14:14.280 country that doesn't feel stable. And so naturally, everything just keeps getting worse and worse.

00:14:18.920 And so the justification ends up spurring on a new justification. And so you just keep going in

00:14:25.100 circles with bringing in more people that causes your actual natural growth to slip further and

00:14:30.400 further, which means that you need to bring in more people. And by the way, the people you're

00:14:33.800 bringing in are also going to suffer from that same problem, because everything's unaffordable.

00:14:38.780 It's not a very stable community to live in when you often have, like, you know, like a foreign 1.00

00:14:44.300 ethnic conflicts happening in your city streets. You're not exactly going to want to, you know, 0.64

00:14:49.200 set up shop there for your family.

00:14:51.300 Well, no, you have to be fundamentally optimistic for the future to choose to have a family and to

00:14:55.460 have children. And you're right that when people don't, I mean, if people don't feel safe in their

00:15:00.240 community, or frankly, if they don't recognize the community that they live in, like I talked to so

00:15:04.780 many people to say, I don't feel like I'm living in Canada anymore. This isn't the Canada that I grew

00:15:08.700 up in. It's not like you're going to run out and say, okay, let's go have a bunch of kids, right?

00:15:12.460 Because you've lost faith in your own country. I want to go back to something you said a little

00:15:17.820 earlier on there, Wyatt, which is that, you know, they tell us that the reason that we need all of

00:15:23.140 these temporary foreign workers is because Canadians are just not willing to do these jobs. It reminded 0.66

00:15:28.140 me of a post I saw on social media posted by Dean Tester, who is a conservative. He put this on

00:15:33.600 X. He said, student unemployment in Ottawa is sitting around 20% with endless stories of young

00:15:38.460 people handing out hundreds of resumes and getting nowhere. And yet there are hundreds of LMIA, which 0.69

00:15:44.840 is labor market opinions, requests for food service, admin assistance, and landscapers. So you can see

00:15:50.880 the math there, folks. Those are all of the people who put in applications, this is greater Ottawa,

00:15:56.660 saying that there are no, so if you want to let in, if you want to, if you're a business and you want to

00:16:02.680 have temporary foreign workers come at your business, you have to put out this, one of these labor market 1.00

00:16:06.920 opinions. So you have to put out job applications, help wanted signs, and prove that there's no one

00:16:12.520 in your area that are willing to do these jobs. This has become a scam. This has become a total

00:16:17.000 workaround where they just put one of these things out. It's totally fake. It's not even what it says

00:16:21.440 it's supposed to be. They say, no, no one wants a job. And so then they can turn around and hire a bunch

00:16:26.140 of labor from the third world, pay them much less, have them work longer hours. And again, Dean pointing out 1.00

00:16:32.520 that there is around 20% student unemployment. So how can you simultaneously tell me that there's

00:16:38.700 hundreds or thousands of young people out there in just this one city looking for jobs? And then at

00:16:42.960 the same time, oh, no one to fill the job. So we have to bring in immigrants to work at the local 1.00

00:16:48.080 Tim Hortons. I mean, it's just, the system is just full of abuse. That's the major problem as well.

00:16:53.180 It also turns into effectively indentured servitude because you, when you're in this country,

00:16:57.980 you have to work the job that you came in for. And when you're living and you cannot afford to

00:17:03.320 lose this job. So you really can't say no to working potentially unpaid overtime, which we get a lot of

00:17:08.460 stories of. And then these same people who are already working long hours at their one job have

00:17:14.080 to then also, you know, drive for Uber in order to pay for a half a basement suite that they live in

00:17:19.560 with three or four other people. Anyone who pretends like they're opposing pure poly of because they're

00:17:25.800 ethical human beings are lying to themselves because they're supporting a system that is

00:17:30.540 actually abusive, pretending as if they're like standing up for lowly immigrants. They're not. 0.89

00:17:35.480 They're standing up for effectively modern day slaves who were lied into taking jobs overseas that

00:17:40.980 are not actually going to do much more than just pay for them to even sustain themselves in Canada.

00:17:46.160 Well, that's 100%. I wanted to just point to this Globe and Mail article from last summer,

00:17:50.340 August 24. Employers still turning to low wage workers, even as unemployment rates rise.

00:17:55.720 This is kind of telling the same story, but there's this interesting graph and it shows here

00:17:59.420 positions approved in temporary foreign worker program by stream. And so it used to be, Wyatt,

00:18:04.740 that the overwhelming majority of temporary foreign workers that came to Canada worked in fields. They

00:18:09.560 were ag workers. They came in the summer, they picked blueberries or whatever they did, then they

00:18:12.800 left. Look, I would still argue that you can hire teenagers and college students to do that kind of

00:18:16.960 work. But still, you know, these these companies say, look, we need these temporary foreign workers.

00:18:21.440 And yet, if we can show the graph on the screen, it shows just the rise of low wage workers during

00:18:29.520 this period. So from 2022, you can see that it jumps significantly. So low wage workers used to be 20%

00:18:36.300 of these temporary foreign worker program, and it has jumped up to 80%, almost as much as these ag

00:18:42.940 workers. So the type of workers has totally changed. Now, this is an interesting point, because we heard

00:18:47.160 Mark Carney on the campaign trail and even before basically saying that the liberal immigration

00:18:51.940 system was broken, that they that they broke it. Here's a story from CBC News all the way back in

00:18:57.260 November. Mark Carney says that Canada is letting down the immigrants that it welcomed. And he basically

00:19:03.000 just said, look, this isn't working. Right. And we heard that again and again. And yet and yet

00:19:09.380 when he became prime minister, he made absolutely no changes. And so here is a news story.

00:19:15.080 Juno News, May 30th, 2025, Canada took in 817,000 new immigrants in the first four months of 2025.

00:19:26.040 Look at the headline. Unbelievable. Between January and April, 132,000 people were granted permanent

00:19:31.420 residency, while 194,000 were given student visas and 490 were given these work permits. So there's no

00:19:41.140 there's no slowing down. Right. These and again, you can see that tilt. Right. 130 were given permanent

00:19:47.740 residency and all of the rest all the way up to 817,000. So that's what 690,000 people were let in

00:19:55.200 temporarily like they're not stopping. What drives me up the wall about that statue is people will make

00:20:00.740 excuses by saying, well, 817,000 number, you have a visa renewals, you have student visa and TFW visa

00:20:08.880 renewals. Well, that's effectively a new immigrant because the whole idea was that they were going to 1.00

00:20:13.480 be here for a few years, then they were going to go home. If they're now here for rather than three

00:20:18.260 years, six years, well, then that's basically a second person entering right after they leave

00:20:23.440 and filling that gap. So people are trying to make excuses and pretend like Carney's doing a better job

00:20:29.080 than Trudeau on immigration right now. Is he going to be better than maybe Trudeau like 2024,

00:20:33.720 2023 Trudeau? Sure. But it's hard. It would probably have been hard for Trudeau to even top

00:20:38.900 himself in the year 2025. We're going down to even what would be high levels in 2018 and 2019.

00:20:47.360 And again, like you had been pointing out, it was even a little too high under Martin and Harper.

00:20:52.880 It should have probably been even lower back then, because again, your immigration should always be 1.00

00:20:57.860 purely supplemental to your natural growth as a country. If people's standard of living is

00:21:03.420 slipping at all by bringing in more people, then you can't do it. And what we've seen over the last,

00:21:08.600 I think, nine quarters at this point is that we have per capita incomes falling in Canada,

00:21:14.100 because we're not actually adding more productivity with these new immigrants. We're 1.00

00:21:18.020 just basically subsidizing large corporations by giving them cheaper labor. And again, it really

00:21:25.000 demonstrates just the kind of loser mentality that's baked into Canada. These corporations don't

00:21:29.480 push for lowering their extremely high corporate taxes. They just want to maybe try and save a few

00:21:35.100 dollars by bringing in cheaper labor. It's such a, like, people just resigned to the idea that

00:21:40.840 we're just always going to have big government. Well, that's exactly right. Because my mind is,

00:21:45.360 if we're having to import people who don't share cultural values, who many of them resort to crime, 0.98

00:21:51.180 or at least being here illegally, like people don't leave when they're supposed to,

00:21:54.320 like, why don't we just work harder to train and motivate the younger generation to do these jobs,

00:21:59.780 right? Put it back in the culture that you get a summer job when you're a teenager, or hey,

00:22:04.000 how about like getting rid of a whole bunch of social welfare programs that allow healthy,

00:22:08.440 able-bodied young men and women to stay at home and not work? Like, we have it all backwards. And 1.00

00:22:13.960 to your point about how, you know, many people think that Mark Carney is just automatically better

00:22:18.160 than Justin Trudeau because he's not such a clown. The problem, Wyatt, is that he's surrounding

00:22:22.820 himself with clownish people. And so let me just point to this news story out of Global News,

00:22:27.060 an absolute bombshell. Before joining cabinet, the public safety minister of Canada wrote

00:22:32.540 immigration support letters for terror group members, terror group members. So yes, our public

00:22:38.520 safety minister, Gary Anasangari, wrote letters urging Canadian officials to approve the immigration

00:22:44.500 applications of a man who was, had been determined by the government to be a member of the terrorist

00:22:50.900 organization. The letter dated 2023 and another one from 2016, were written on Anasangari's House

00:22:56.460 of Commons letterhead and sent to Canadian Border Services on behalf of an alleged member of Sri Lanka's

00:23:02.320 Tamil Tigers who wanted to move to Canada. So the person who we charge with protecting us, 0.97

00:23:09.520 public safety minister, is in charge of the border, in charge of making sure that terrorists don't come

00:23:14.140 into our country, has actually advocated on behalf of terrorists coming into our country.

00:23:20.100 It's like the farce in Canada just never ends. The living satire that we are in, yes,

00:23:24.820 a cabinet minister is the one who wanted terrorists into our country. It's unbelievable.

00:23:28.880 And that specific issue is linked to high immigration. He is obviously trying to pander to a community

00:23:36.860 where defending a member of the Tamil Tigers may get you some more votes. That's exactly what he's doing.

00:23:42.420 There's a reason why we just had a shooting in Surrey where somebody who is openly part of the banned

00:23:48.700 terrorist organization, Barba Kalsa, celebrated and took credit for a shooting on a cafe that they just,

00:23:55.720 the owner of, had basically made a joke about him or his friends. And politicians were just talking about

00:24:02.040 it like it's a normal gang shooting. Even though there's a guy who openly took credit for it from

00:24:06.960 banned terrorist organization, we don't want to mention who it was because it might tick off certain people.

00:24:12.420 I mean, you're right. It's vote bank politics. It's like they want to get votes from these

00:24:17.140 communities. And so they're willing to do despicable things. They don't put Canadians 1.00

00:24:21.020 first. They put themselves and their party and their communities first. And so let me just read

00:24:25.860 a little bit more from this global news story. Although Canadian immigration officials had

00:24:30.580 repeatedly rejected this individual as an immigrant due to what they describe as protracted involvement

00:24:36.460 in the Tigers, the Tamil Tigers, which is a terrorist group in Sri Lanka. Anagasari asked them to reverse

00:24:42.060 their decision. His most recent letter to CBSA, Anagasari said, the agency's refusal to grant this

00:24:47.820 individual permanent residency has separated the 48-year-old Sri Lankan from his Canadian wife and

00:24:52.800 child, which the Toronto MP called cruel and inhumane. Okay. Just to give you a bit more background

00:24:58.740 about that. The child was conceived in Sri Lanka. The woman had gone to Sri Lanka and then she moved to

00:25:04.800 Canada so that she could have a Canadian child and now she wants her terrorist husband to come with 0.97

00:25:08.420 her. The answer is, sorry, no, go home. Instead, it's the other way around and it's cruel and humane

00:25:13.620 not to let the terrorists into the country. And here's what he said. I respectfully ask that you

00:25:18.800 review and reconsider the decision. Anagasari wrote on July 19th, 2023. We're not talking about ancient

00:25:24.640 history here. We're talking about two years ago when it was the last few days of his time as

00:25:30.000 parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice attorney general. Where do they find these people

00:25:35.660 and why are they in charge? It is like, it is just so unbelievable. Wyatt, what do you think?

00:25:41.360 That also just reflects a lot of liberal criminal justice policy these days. Like, don't make the person

00:25:47.900 suffer the consequences of their own actions. It's cruel and inhumane that they actually, you know, maybe

00:25:53.040 take some punishment for the things that they do for the associations they have. But yeah, like, the thing is

00:25:59.120 that this is rarely picked up by the mainstream media. If it's covered, it's covered for a few

00:26:04.660 seconds. This should be a major scandal. Again, and this has actually happened multiple times. We

00:26:10.360 even have politicians supposedly on the right, like Patrick Brown, who when he ran for the leadership

00:26:15.580 in 2022 for the federal party, actually had mentioned that he may take the Tamil Tigers off the

00:26:21.920 terrorism watch list. Just remove them from the blacklist. This is just, and again, you're right about

00:26:28.260 Mark Carney. He is more professional than Justin Trudeau, but I'm not sure if that's exactly a good

00:26:32.860 thing because I don't exactly want a more efficient leader of the current circus that is the liberal 0.87

00:26:38.460 cabinet because they're just going to do bad things faster. Yeah, more stealth and they'll do it behind

00:26:44.880 your back. And isn't this just like an open message to all the terrorists around the world? Like,

00:26:48.640 all you have to do is just like get your, get your girl from pregnant, put her on a plane, 1.00

00:26:52.720 send her to Canada, have the baby in Canada, and the minister will be writing letters on your behalf 0.65

00:26:58.000 pleading to the government to let you into the country because it's inhumane to have your child 0.55

00:27:02.460 separated from you. Like it, this is just an absolute ridiculous, this is in a nutshell,

00:27:07.920 is everything wrong with liberal government and our immigration system? Well, Wyatt, thank you so much

00:27:13.860 for joining the show. It's always a pleasure to have you on. I'm really looking forward to your show
