Candace Malan talks about King Charles III and Queen Camilla's visit to Canada, why our Governor General doesn t know who the King is, and why she calls him a foreign monarch. She also talks about the new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
00:03:17.820Governor General Simon was honored to have an audience with His Majesty King Charles III at Rideau Hall as part of their magistrate's royal visit to Canada.
00:03:26.580These ongoing conversations deepen the meaningful bond between our nations.
00:03:58.680And the fact that the people working in the Governor General's office don't even know this, perhaps the Governor General himself doesn't even know this, is an absolute embarrassment for Canada.
00:04:08.940Look, the Liberals are the one that tried to scrub our country of our traditions, of our institutions.
00:04:15.820They wanted to get rid of all of the history behind Canada as a part of the United Kingdom and as a colony and then as an independent country still under the crown.
00:04:24.880And now it's like they don't even know our own history anymore because they've scrubbed it from the book.
00:04:31.160So embarrassing that our Governor General doesn't know who the king is.
00:04:35.520And so as Guy and Bextie, my co-founder at Geno News, wrote in an email yesterday, our Governor General doesn't know who the king is.
00:04:45.560On the same day King Charles III arrived in Ottawa to deliver Canada's speech from the throne, our own Governor General called him a foreign monarch.
00:04:52.920Yes, the woman tasked with upholding our constitution just implied that the king of Canada was a foreigner.
00:04:57.920In an infamous tweet, Mary Simon said the royal visit was about deepening the bonds between our nations, complete with a Canada and UK flag side by side.
00:05:29.700Trudeau's policies, Trudeau's insiders, Trudeau's smug disregard for ordinary Canadians, all of it is back.
00:05:35.820Carney kicked things off by firing disgraced Speaker Greg Fergus,
00:05:39.160a man best known for showing up to liberal fundraisers in his speaker robes and censoring MPs he didn't like.
00:05:45.240But rather than appoint someone impartial, Carney installs Francis Scarpelegia, a 21-year liberal caucus loyalist who's never had an independent thought in his life.
00:08:29.100I don't like what they stand for these days.
00:08:31.500And it reminds me of what Preston Manning had to say.
00:08:34.900He said that there is no left and there's no right anymore.
00:08:37.280So the idea in Canada used to be that conservatives and the political right were the ones that were protecting the monarchy.
00:08:43.100They believed in our British tradition and they wanted to play up our ties to the U.K., whereas liberals and progressives wanted to, like, create a new utopia Canada with no history.
00:08:51.880And I kind of agree with Preston Manning that it's not about left or right anymore.
00:08:55.440It's about establishment versus the people.
00:08:58.760So on the one hand, you have the establishment like Mark Carney, the elites, the experts, and the globalists, whatever you want to call them.
00:09:05.240On the other hand, you have the people, populism, the grassroots politics, the people of Canada.
00:09:11.380Put another way, check out this graphic that was making the round on X.
00:09:26.240Core belief, freedom over fear, economic identity, the entrepreneur, the oil worker, the trades, attitude towards government.
00:09:33.460Get out of the way, cultural values, family, grit, and ownership, preferred labor, someone who builds, lifestyle, ranching, outdoors, hard work, votes for, self, government, I'll take risk over regulation.
00:10:23.220And so I think you could also imagine this a different way.
00:10:26.120Bruce Party, who is a law professor at Queens, he was on my show the other week, and he described the values that he thinks of when he thinks of an independent Albertan, the values that are contrasted in our two parties and that it's the fight for our country's soul.
00:10:41.220On the one hand, you have globalist values.
00:10:43.540On the other hand, you have Canadian values.
00:10:45.320So I would take this graphic from X, and I would say rather than calling him the Albertan, call him the Canadian and call the other guy the globalist because that's really what's at stake.
00:10:55.640And so when I see the monarchy, when I see Mark Kearney, again, I just think globalists, globalists, globalists, that they're not here for the little guy.
00:11:02.920They're not here for the everyday Canadian.
00:11:05.600Okay, so let's get back to the new Speaker of the House.
00:11:08.720Liberal MP Francis Skarpalegia was elected as a speaker, as is tradition, I like this tradition, longstanding tradition, the party leaders, which right now is Mark Kearney and Andrew Scheer, because recall that Pierre Polyev didn't get elected into the House.
00:11:22.640And so Andrew Scheer was named the interim leader until that by-election happens, and Pierre Polyev can return back to seat.
00:11:28.260So you had Andrew Scheer, Mark Kearney here dragging the new Speaker into the chair.
00:11:32.920It's always a lot of fun to see that, and again, they're just sort of playing up this idea that nobody wants to be the Speaker, nobody wants to be the Speaker, and so the two House leaders have to physically drag him and put them in there, just having a bit of fun in Ottawa, one of those sort of bipartisan traditions where everyone is on the same team.
00:11:56.580Mark Kearney welcomed the new Speaker by saying that he will make mistakes, but he reminds us that we are an Athenian democracy and that we are Athens, and he contrasts that with the Americans who he says are Rome.
00:12:49.840The guy's obsessed with the Americans.
00:12:52.780Like, every aspect of his job, he's just always juxtaposing himself with Trump, with Americans.
00:12:58.560Trump lives rent-free in that guy's head.
00:13:01.160Here is interim opposition leader Andrew Scheer welcoming Mark Kearney to the House of Commons, but reminding him of how important the job is and how every minor decision that they make will have a drastic impact on the lives of Canadians.
00:13:33.700The lives of Canadians are changed by the decisions we make.
00:13:36.400And so it is normal that members get enthusiastic and fiery.
00:13:40.100When the stakes are so high, often the best thing you can do is allow the players to play a little bit.
00:13:44.840This is where the government is held to account.
00:13:47.440They have an enormous amount of power.
00:13:49.280And we, parliamentarians, must provide ruthless scrutiny on every dollar taken out of their pockets, every infringement on their liberties, and every single decision this government makes.
00:13:59.940So Mark Carney is supposed to be the servant of Canadians.
00:14:02.920But one of the first things that he announced was that he won't be taking question period.
00:14:07.420He won't be taking questions like his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, did.
00:14:11.700So here we have from CTV, Mark Carney won't continue the question period tradition Justin Trudeau began for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, made it his practice to answer all questions in the House on Wednesdays, a gesture meant to improve accountability within the chamber.
00:14:24.780Well, Mark Carney's not going to do that.
00:14:26.880I'm going to read a little bit from a Dan Knight political commentator.
00:14:32.340The story broke through Canadian press earlier today.
00:14:34.560Mark Carney, Canada's newly installed prime minister, will not be continuing the weekly question period tradition started by Justin Trudeau in 2017.
00:14:42.960Every Wednesday, Trudeau showed up in the House of Commons to take every single question from any member of Parliament who wished to grill him.
00:15:23.440So ask yourself, if this is how he behaves in his first week on the job, cloaked in silence, dodging scrutiny, and governing behind the velvet rope, what else is coming?
00:15:34.140Mark Carney is not here to serve Canadians.
00:15:35.720He's here to protect a ruling class that sees public scrutiny as an obstacle, not a requirement.
00:15:41.380And that makes him more dangerous than Trudeau ever was, because he knows how to gut democracy quietly, without the drama, without the selfies, without the headlines.
00:15:49.540Just a cold precision of a central banker removing every last check on his power.
00:15:54.780And if Canadians don't call it out now, they won't get a chance to later.
00:18:09.560Well, Jan Arden, why don't you take a look at the books that they're talking about and tell me if you think it's appropriate for five- and six-year-old children to be reading them?
00:18:57.260Someone on the left finally cares about censorship.
00:18:59.360So when it's Justin Trudeau and he's trying to censor the internet, when it's the CBC or when it's any of the social media giants trying to shut down dissenting voices, the left is totally silent.
00:19:10.740But when the premier of Alberta wants to ban pornography for children, then all of a sudden they care about censorship.
