The Candice Malcolm Show - Carney KILLS Question Period accountability, uses King Charles as a distraction + Alberta BANS P＊＊N in schools

00:00:00.000 It is with a deep sense of pride and pleasure that my wife and I join you here today

00:00:05.440 as we witness Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity, and hope.

00:00:17.400 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:20.200 Wow, what a news week we are in. We're going to get to it all.

00:00:23.400 This is going to be a great episode.

00:00:25.080 So we saw King Charles. He's the king of Canada, folks.

00:00:28.440 When he's in Canada, he's our king. He's the king of Canada.

00:00:31.820 Here is what his throne speech looked like today.

00:00:34.560 Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them.

00:00:43.400 Fundamental change is always unsettling.

00:00:47.600 Yet this moment is also an incredible opportunity, an opportunity for renewal,

00:00:55.180 an opportunity to think big and to act bigger.

00:00:58.440 An opportunity for Canada to embark on the largest transformation of its economy since the Second World War.

00:01:08.000 Love him or hate him, it was quite a spectacle in Ottawa to have the king.

00:01:12.860 We haven't seen that happen in Canada in decades.

00:01:15.820 Usually it's the governor general that reads the throne speech, but Mark Carney pulling out all the stops,

00:01:20.900 trying to make a flash, trying to distract, I think, from the entire spectacle of him coming in and taking over as prime minister.

00:01:28.500 Here is the scene and what it looked like when King Charles and Queen Camilla were arriving in Ottawa for the royal visit.

00:01:35.700 You know, for all these folks talk about climate change and the environment,

00:01:40.000 that kind of goes all out the window when it comes to their own comfort and security, doesn't it?

00:01:44.520 Look at that motor car.

00:01:45.540 Look at the private jet that they flew on over and living the high life out there.

00:01:51.380 And this was the scene shortly earlier.

00:01:54.520 You have a bunch of men out there fixing the potholes in Ottawa.

00:01:58.200 So you would hate for the king to see the total disrepair of Canada's streets.

00:02:04.100 So they are out there frantically trying to make the city look good for the royal visit.

00:02:09.360 Reminds me of what was happening in California.

00:02:11.660 Governor Newsom completely got rid of San Francisco's homeless population for President Xi Jinping of China's visit.

00:02:19.360 And then as soon as the CHICOMs left, the homeless came back and took over San Francisco again. 1.00

00:02:25.860 So that's what it's looking like out there in Ottawa.

00:02:29.260 And here you can see King Charles being met by an audience.

00:02:32.600 Mark Nixon points out, listen as you hear, he says, thank you for being here.

00:02:36.320 King Charles is treated like he's here to save us from a Trump-led annexation.

00:02:41.120 We've traveled a long way.

00:02:43.000 We're out there.

00:02:43.660 We're so proud of you.

00:02:45.100 We're so proud of you.

00:02:46.200 We're so proud of you.

00:02:46.240 We're so proud of you.

00:02:47.080 Thank you for being here.

00:02:49.360 So King Charles being treated like he's a godsend here to save us from Trump.

00:02:59.240 I don't think so, folks.

00:03:00.420 I think it's all a distraction.

00:03:02.200 And look what happened with our Governor General.

00:03:04.640 What an absolute embarrassment.

00:03:05.980 So Governor General Mary Simon addresses King Charles as a foreign monarch.

00:03:11.540 OK, this is what she wrote on X before it was deleted because it is factually incorrect.

00:03:16.320 This is what the X post says.

00:03:17.820 Governor 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.

00:03:26.580 These ongoing conversations deepen the meaningful bond between our nations.

00:03:30.780 What?

00:03:31.540 What?

00:03:32.320 Does whoever write the X post or the social media posts in the Governor General's office even understand their office?

00:03:38.660 Do they understand what Canada's government structure is?

00:03:42.620 Let me just remind everyone that it isn't a meaningful bond between our two nations, right?

00:03:48.340 Canada is part of the crown.

00:03:51.760 King Charles is our head of state.

00:03:53.920 There's no two nations here.

00:03:56.020 It's just one nation.

00:03:57.260 That's Canada.

00:03:58.520 OK.

00:03:58.680 And 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.

00:04:08.940 Look, the Liberals are the one that tried to scrub our country of our traditions, of our institutions.

00:04:13.820 They wanted to create a new Canada.

00:04:15.820 They 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.

00:04:24.880 And now it's like they don't even know our own history anymore because they've scrubbed it from the book.

00:04:31.160 So embarrassing that our Governor General doesn't know who the king is.

00:04:35.520 And 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.

00:04:42.480 And Mark Carney just took power.

00:04:44.340 You can't make this up, he says.

00:04:45.560 On 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.

00:04:52.920 Yes, the woman tasked with upholding our constitution just implied that the king of Canada was a foreigner.

00:04:57.920 In 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.

00:05:06.260 One problem.

00:05:07.160 King Charles isn't a foreign dignitary.

00:05:09.180 He's our head of state.

00:05:10.760 This is grade level civics and she blew it. 0.90

00:05:13.120 The purple hair should have clued everyone in that she was unqualified for the job. 1.00

00:05:17.020 Now let's talk about the other clueless elite who took center stage this week.

00:05:21.600 Mark Carney is now prime minister.

00:05:24.280 But don't let that fresh suit fool you.

00:05:27.560 This isn't a reset.

00:05:28.660 It's a rerun.

00:05:29.700 Trudeau's policies, Trudeau's insiders, Trudeau's smug disregard for ordinary Canadians, all of it is back.

00:05:35.820 Carney kicked things off by firing disgraced Speaker Greg Fergus,

00:05:39.160 a man best known for showing up to liberal fundraisers in his speaker robes and censoring MPs he didn't like.

00:05:45.240 But 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.

00:05:56.320 Royal pageantry, zero solutions.

00:05:59.020 Carney's first act as PM turned Parliament into a stage for King Charles III, not to educate the public, not to govern, but to distract.

00:06:07.520 The king delivered the speech from the throne, the first time a reigning monarch has done so in Canada since 1977.

00:06:14.160 The press swooned.

00:06:15.420 Carney grinned.

00:06:16.420 But Canadians got nothing. 0.98

00:06:18.400 While elites exchanged small talk and cocktail toasts, working families were left to wonder how they'll afford next month's rent.

00:06:25.860 This is Trudeau's playbook.

00:06:27.400 Carbon taxes, housing lies, zero accountability.

00:06:31.400 Carney's throne speech was a carefully packaged lie, writes Key and Beck.

00:06:35.000 This is Disruptors.

00:06:37.580 No hype, no hot takes, just clear thinking.

00:06:40.420 Real trade-offs and practical insight with a focus on what matters for Canada.

00:06:45.720 Every episode, we talk to the people shaping what comes next in business, policy, technology and the real economy.

00:06:53.380 I'm John Stackhouse.

00:06:54.740 Follow Disruptors and never miss an episode.

00:06:56.800 It promised relief but delivered more of the same.

00:07:02.640 A fake tax cut with no clear plan to pay for it.

00:07:05.940 A housing strategy that promises more supply but won't touch prices.

00:07:10.620 A climate agenda still powered by Trudeau's infamous Bill C-69, the No More Pipelines Act.

00:07:16.660 Carney claims to be different, but his actions prove he's not.

00:07:19.960 He's Trudeau without the drama, but just as dangerous.

00:07:22.620 We're not here to applaud, we're here to expose.

00:07:26.200 Legacy media won't touch this.

00:07:28.160 They won't mock Simon for bungling the basics of her job.

00:07:31.900 They won't call out the new speaker for being one of the most partisan members of the House.

00:07:35.840 And they certainly won't hold Carney accountable as he drags Trudeau's failed regime back from the dead.

00:07:42.060 Well, Juno News will.

00:07:43.600 We exist for one reason, to expose the lie, the spin and the utter incompetence of our ruling class.

00:07:49.560 And if you're here with us right now, you are part of the mission.

00:07:53.620 So thank you for being here.

00:07:55.340 All right, folks, let's do a comment section question of the day.

00:07:58.740 Do you think it's time to get rid of the monarchy?

00:08:01.820 I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

00:08:04.340 Let me know in the comment section down below.

00:08:07.280 My personal thoughts on this is I like our tradition.

00:08:10.020 I like our history.

00:08:11.320 You wouldn't create a monarchy if you were starting from scratch.

00:08:13.880 But the fact that we've had one in place for hundreds of years and has served us well is a pretty good reason.

00:08:19.820 And yet I will say seeing King Charles in Ottawa made me sick to my stomach.

00:08:24.680 I don't like it.

00:08:25.440 I don't like the pageantry.

00:08:26.900 I don't really like the royal family anymore.

00:08:28.640 I don't know.

00:08:29.100 I don't like what they stand for these days.

00:08:31.500 And it reminds me of what Preston Manning had to say.

00:08:34.900 He said that there is no left and there's no right anymore.

00:08:37.280 So the idea in Canada used to be that conservatives and the political right were the ones that were protecting the monarchy.

00:08:43.100 They 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.

00:08:51.880 And I kind of agree with Preston Manning that it's not about left or right anymore.

00:08:55.440 It's about establishment versus the people.

00:08:58.760 So on the one hand, you have the establishment like Mark Carney, the elites, the experts, and the globalists, whatever you want to call them.

00:09:05.240 On the other hand, you have the people, populism, the grassroots politics, the people of Canada.

00:09:11.380 Put another way, check out this graphic that was making the round on X.

00:09:14.720 I think this is brilliant.

00:09:16.380 So you can see sort of two archetypes of Canadians.

00:09:19.840 On the left, they call him the Albertan.

00:09:21.880 On the right, you have the Canadians.

00:09:23.600 Let me just read.

00:09:24.180 This is what the Albertan believes.

00:09:26.240 Core belief, freedom over fear, economic identity, the entrepreneur, the oil worker, the trades, attitude towards government.

00:09:33.460 Get 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.

00:09:46.760 My future isn't Ottawa's to manage.

00:09:49.100 And then contrast with what they show as the Canadian.

00:09:52.040 The core belief is safety over freedom.

00:09:54.600 We saw a lot of that during COVID.

00:09:56.400 Economic identity, someone who works in the public sector, who's a consultant, and who's an activist.

00:10:00.940 Attitude towards government is take care of me.

00:10:04.160 Cultural values are compliance and entitlement. 0.92

00:10:07.100 Preferred leader, someone who bans.

00:10:09.020 Yeah, it sounds pretty familiar.

00:10:10.680 The lifestyle, they live in a condo, they use mass transit, and they have some kind of an HR job, and they vote for bigger government.

00:10:18.080 Their mantra is let the government handle it.

00:10:20.660 That's what it's there for.

00:10:23.220 And so I think you could also imagine this a different way.

00:10:26.120 Bruce 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.

00:10:41.220 On the one hand, you have globalist values.

00:10:43.540 On the other hand, you have Canadian values.

00:10:45.320 So 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.

00:10:55.640 And 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.

00:11:02.920 They're not here for the everyday Canadian. 0.98

00:11:05.600 Okay, so let's get back to the new Speaker of the House.

00:11:08.720 Liberal 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.

00:11:22.640 And so Andrew Scheer was named the interim leader until that by-election happens, and Pierre Polyev can return back to seat.

00:11:28.260 So you had Andrew Scheer, Mark Kearney here dragging the new Speaker into the chair.

00:11:32.920 It'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.

00:11:53.220 So let's go to Mark Kearney's speech.

00:11:56.580 Mark 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.

00:12:11.540 Let's play that clip.

00:12:12.920 I have much to learn from the members of this great house.

00:12:18.020 I will make mistakes.

00:12:19.840 I have no doubt that you will call them out for good reason.

00:12:26.000 Because this house has rules.

00:12:29.060 It has traditions.

00:12:30.880 And it's on those traditions that our Athenian democracy is founded.

00:12:37.020 That's what I would say.

00:12:45.300 Yes, we are Athens.

00:12:48.580 They are Rome.

00:12:49.840 The guy's obsessed with the Americans.

00:12:52.780 Like, every aspect of his job, he's just always juxtaposing himself with Trump, with Americans.

00:12:58.560 Trump lives rent-free in that guy's head.

00:13:01.160 Here 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.

00:13:16.540 And to do so with caution.

00:13:18.680 Let's play that clip.

00:13:19.060 In all seriousness, though, Mr. Speaker, you are not the Commissioner of Parliament.

00:13:22.500 You are the servant of the House.

00:13:23.840 And that is an important dynamic.

00:13:25.900 You are held accountable by the members.

00:13:27.500 And each of us are accountable to our voters.

00:13:30.540 Debates should be passionate.

00:13:32.540 They should be lively.

00:13:33.700 The lives of Canadians are changed by the decisions we make.

00:13:36.400 And so it is normal that members get enthusiastic and fiery.

00:13:40.100 When the stakes are so high, often the best thing you can do is allow the players to play a little bit.

00:13:44.840 This is where the government is held to account.

00:13:47.440 They have an enormous amount of power.

00:13:49.280 And 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.

00:13:59.940 So Mark Carney is supposed to be the servant of Canadians.

00:14:02.920 But one of the first things that he announced was that he won't be taking question period.

00:14:07.420 He won't be taking questions like his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, did.

00:14:11.700 So 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.

00:14:24.780 Well, Mark Carney's not going to do that.

00:14:26.880 I'm going to read a little bit from a Dan Knight political commentator.

00:14:29.560 This guy always has the best takes.

00:14:31.300 This is what he writes.

00:14:32.340 The story broke through Canadian press earlier today.

00:14:34.560 Mark Carney, Canada's newly installed prime minister, will not be continuing the weekly question period tradition started by Justin Trudeau in 2017.

00:14:40.660 You may remember that practice.

00:14:42.960 Every Wednesday, Trudeau showed up in the House of Commons to take every single question from any member of Parliament who wished to grill him.

00:14:49.460 Well, that's over now.

00:14:50.680 Mark Carney isn't interested.

00:14:52.320 The public doesn't get that transparency anymore.

00:14:54.760 And that tells you everything you need to know.

00:14:57.060 Now, to be perfectly clear, this isn't technically illegal.

00:14:59.500 It doesn't violate parliamentary rules.

00:15:01.260 But that's not the point.

00:15:02.780 Carney's decision, confirmed by a source in his own office, is entirely political.

00:15:07.100 He goes on to say, the media, as usual, is covering it like it's a non-issue.

00:15:11.360 They're repeating lines about procedural norms and brushing off critics as partisan.

00:15:15.460 But remember, Justin Trudeau, for all his arrogance, at least made a show of being answerable.

00:15:20.460 Carney won't even give you that.

00:15:21.980 He doesn't feel he has to.

00:15:23.440 So 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?

00:15:33.160 So here's the truth.

00:15:34.140 Mark Carney is not here to serve Canadians.

00:15:35.720 He's here to protect a ruling class that sees public scrutiny as an obstacle, not a requirement.

00:15:41.380 And 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.

00:15:49.540 Just a cold precision of a central banker removing every last check on his power.

00:15:54.780 And if Canadians don't call it out now, they won't get a chance to later.

00:15:58.580 Exactly right.

00:15:59.920 Dan Knight.

00:16:00.460 Now, let me just say this about Mark Carney.

00:16:02.040 I'm not going to say a lot of positive things about him, but this clip is everything.

00:16:06.260 So there you see Melanie Jolie, one of the most annoying cabinet ministers from the Trudeau government. 1.00

00:16:10.180 For some reason, Mark Carney put her in cabinet.

00:16:12.540 She goes up to try to talk to him.

00:16:14.020 And you can just see subtly the arm.

00:16:15.860 Go away.

00:16:16.780 Shoo.

00:16:17.500 Go away.

00:16:20.080 Go away, Melanie Jolie. 0.98

00:16:21.160 You're not needed.

00:16:22.680 You're just annoying everybody.

00:16:24.340 Okay, last story I want to cover here is that Alberta has decided to ban perverted groomer books.

00:16:30.480 Good for Alberta premier Danielle Smith.

00:16:33.660 So here is what she had to say on X.

00:16:35.880 Albertans deserve to know it's really being shown to children in some of our K-9 schools.

00:16:41.100 Kindergarten.

00:16:41.820 Four and five-year-olds.

00:16:42.800 I have a four-year-old and a six-year-old.

00:16:44.820 And these disgusting pornographic books, I don't want them anywhere near children. 0.54

00:16:48.860 So let me just keep reading. 0.55

00:16:50.600 This isn't about banning books.

00:16:51.680 This is about protecting kids from graphic, sexually explicit content that has no place in our classrooms.

00:16:58.160 Parents are right to be upset.

00:16:59.740 As many of our kids are being exposed to age-inappropriate material that strips away their innocence at far too young an age.

00:17:05.420 We're drawing a line.

00:17:06.620 Review the content for yourself.

00:17:08.260 But please know it's graphic and not suitable for minors.

00:17:12.000 Here's Cam Bexty.

00:17:12.780 Breaking after finding schools hosting pornographic material in classrooms.

00:17:16.240 Alberta Smith is cracking down and banning the material where kids have access to it. 0.98

00:17:21.840 I can't even show you the clips here on YouTube, folks.

00:17:24.440 It is too graphic.

00:17:25.840 YouTube will ban this video if I show it to you.

00:17:28.460 So head on over to JunoNews.com.

00:17:30.660 We've got them there. 0.74

00:17:31.540 Let me just tell you, it's disgusting.

00:17:32.660 This kind of stuff has no place anywhere near children.

00:17:36.280 Good on Danielle Smith for cracking down on this. 0.73

00:17:40.020 And yet, as could be expected, this is how the legacy media is covering it.

00:17:44.400 So here's a Globe and Mail, Alberta to hold public consultation on what books should be banned from school libraries.

00:17:50.720 So they're painting this as like right-wing bigots and homophobes banning books.

00:17:55.760 The right is banning books, they say.

00:17:57.600 Of course, it's not true.

00:17:58.640 They're protecting children from seeing disgusting pornography.

00:18:02.260 Here is deranged Jan Arden.

00:18:04.400 She writes, Alberta to hold consultation on which books should be banned.

00:18:08.000 What the F is going on?

00:18:09.560 Well, 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?

00:18:17.600 I don't think so.

00:18:18.620 A couple more posts here.

00:18:19.820 This is a journalist.

00:18:20.860 Sean Amato says, looks like Alberta is going to be banning some books.

00:18:23.980 Press conference with the minister at 11.

00:18:26.960 Frank Walk on X writes, fascist BS.

00:18:29.880 Do these people even read?

00:18:31.160 Come on, Alberta used to have one of the best education systems in the world.

00:18:34.040 Alberta changing rules to ensure age-appropriate books in school.

00:18:37.680 I don't want children to see pornography.

00:18:40.880 I don't want them getting groomed by perverts, okay?

00:18:44.400 Good. 0.96

00:18:44.720 This stuff shouldn't be in Alberta's school.

00:18:46.940 Final one.

00:18:47.740 New Alberta's government has appointed itself the arbiter of who can read which books at which age.

00:18:53.320 Make no mistake about it.

00:18:54.580 This will only lead to more censorship.

00:18:56.440 Oh, look.

00:18:57.260 Someone on the left finally cares about censorship.

00:18:59.360 So 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.

00:19:10.740 But when the premier of Alberta wants to ban pornography for children, then all of a sudden they care about censorship.

00:19:18.240 All right, folks.

00:19:18.580 That's all the time we have for today.
