Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you
00:00:06.000
today, folks. You probably saw the Circus the Clown Show in Ottawa yesterday. Prime Minister
00:00:10.520
Mark Carney was out with his new, shiny new cabinet, which happened to be basically the
00:00:15.380
exact same as the Justin Trudeau cabinet. We're going to go through all of it, including the
00:00:19.240
legacy media doing what they do, spinning and twisting the truth to try to promote their man,
00:00:24.580
Mark Carney. I'm very pleased today to be joined by one of my favorite guests on The Candace
00:00:27.940
Malcolm Show, talking about Jasmine Lane. Jasmine is a political news commentator and the host of the
00:00:33.320
over-opinionated podcast. Jasmine, great to have you on the show today.
00:00:37.580
Thank you so much for having me. Lots to talk about.
00:00:40.600
As usual, yes. Okay, so the news was Carney announced a new smaller cabinet, 28 minister
00:00:46.200
cabinet, and yes, more than half of them were drawn from Justin Trudeau's cabinet. Check out this piece
00:00:52.020
by Juno News. I love this headline. These ministers wrecked Canada, and Carney just promoted all of
00:00:57.540
them. And so you will see a lot of similar names that we saw that we lived through with Justin
00:01:03.020
Trudeau. I will just name a few. So Dominic LeBlanc is going to be the Minister of Trade,
00:01:08.580
Melanie Jolie, the Ministry of Industry, Francois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance,
00:01:13.780
Anita Nan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Patti Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, Stephen Gilbeau,
00:01:18.960
Minister of Canadian Identity, Culture and Official Languages, Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice,
00:01:24.340
Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, many, many of the same names.
00:01:30.380
I could go on. There's a few newcomers. We have Evan Solomon, who is the newly named Minister of
00:01:35.860
Artificial Intelligence. Also, Gregor Robertson, who is a former hard left socialist mayor of
00:01:42.220
Vancouver, who's going to be the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure. My colleague over at
00:01:48.300
True North, Sue Ann Levy, pointed out that the new Minister of Immigration, well, she calls her a
00:01:53.940
Jew hater. Oh, my goodness. Lina Metleg-Diab, Sue Ann Levy says, very nice to see Mark Carney installed
00:02:00.600
this woman of Lebanese descent who hates Israel. And then she clarified, because at first she said
00:02:05.620
that she signed this Vote Palestine platform calling for basically the obliteration of Israel. She
00:02:10.780
apologized, saying that she didn't sign that one, but she did vote against, or she voted for an arms
00:02:16.060
embargo against Israel. Same difference. So, yikes. But I don't know, when it comes to what we
00:02:23.860
should expect from this government, I think it really does just seem like a continuation of Justin
00:02:29.300
Trudeau from, you know, open borders and mass immigration in that category, you know, promoting
00:02:35.700
Sean Fraser, who was, you know, sort of the disastrous housing and immigration minister and putting him in
00:02:43.200
there. It just really just seems like doubling down on the same failed approaches. What was your take
00:02:47.400
from this yesterday, Jasmine? You know, obviously, a lot of people failed upwards, which doesn't
00:02:53.180
typically happen in real life. But there were so many things. And it's one of those, it's such a
00:02:57.980
jarring difference in the, you know, Canadian ministers, if you want to go and compare them to
00:03:03.120
other nations, where there are quite literally people who are, for lack of better words, career
00:03:10.020
politicians and not the good kind that are actually trying to help you. But the kind to do it for the
00:03:16.500
money, for the most part, is kind of what I can, what I can see. You know, it's just bizarre. I mean,
00:03:22.800
if you even want to want to think about Evan Solomon, if you recall, there was that viral post from
00:03:28.520
the bus that was created by AI that he reshared. And now, of course, he is the the AI minister,
00:03:37.160
when, you know, his background, what is he? He's a former journalist. He he got fired from CBC after
00:03:44.140
an art dealing with Mark Carney. He then that's an important point. I just want to zoom in on that
00:03:49.880
one for a minute, because folks might not remember this. Evan Solomon was sort of a mainstream
00:03:54.060
mainstay CBC journalist. He was the one that hosted power and politics and interviewed all of
00:03:59.260
the cabinet ministers. He was always you could tell he was a partisan liberal. But back then,
00:04:03.560
he pretended to be a journalist. And he got fired in disgrace for basically selling art,
00:04:09.140
like being the middleman in peddling art to get big commissions to the people that he was
00:04:14.120
interviewing. The main person that was in a lot of headlines was Jim Basile, one of the founders
00:04:19.260
of BlackBerry at the time, one of the wealthiest Canadians. But one of the other people involved
00:04:23.360
in that scandal was none other than Mark Carney. Mark Carney himself was one of the people that
00:04:28.500
Evan Solomon was dealing art to behind the scenes, kind of in conflict of the CBC's ethics
00:04:33.760
policies. And then get this, Jasmine, when he was fired in disgrace, he, I guess, again,
00:04:40.140
failed upwards. But he got involved with the Eurasia Group, where Mark Carney's wife is involved.
00:04:45.800
She works there. And where Mark Carney's advisor, Gerald Butts, who's Justin Trudeau's best friend,
00:04:50.120
also worked there. So they're all involved in this like risk consultant management,
00:04:54.260
global finance company or think tank called Eurasia Group. And Evan Solomon was the publisher
00:05:02.360
of this magazine that they that they that they had internally. So, you know, really, really just
00:05:07.880
like a very much like an insider's web in this sort of like globalist world. But really, really
00:05:13.420
interesting that he's kind of considered outsider in this cabinet.
00:05:16.860
It's I'm I don't want to go off too much, but, you know, I just flashing back to even just
00:05:21.400
his skills and being, you know, the AI minister. He's never even worked in the tech industry. He was
00:05:26.880
a he was a fired journalist for essentially in terms of art commissions, like insider trading,
00:05:33.200
basically. And then if you just compare that to, you know, Donald Trump's team and to David Sachs is,
00:05:39.080
and he's the guy who's in charge of all of the AIs, their AIs are. And he helped build PayPal. He
00:05:45.180
he's done so many things, had so much success when it comes to tech entrepreneurship
00:05:50.280
in comparison. And then you have Evan Solomon. Like, it's like, wow, Canada just has some of the
00:05:55.640
most underqualified people that exist in our parliament. And it just makes absolutely no
00:06:01.020
sense to me. And, you know, I really do think this is something so many of us have been talking
00:06:05.300
about and speculating on for quite some time. But in terms of Mark Carney's cabinet, it's just filled
00:06:11.160
and just Mark Carney as a whole and the people, the company that he keeps, you know, you have this
00:06:15.480
issue that happens with Evan Solomon. And then all of a sudden he starts working for the Eurasia group.
00:06:20.180
Why would he do that? I wonder why he would do that. Like, think about that. Right. And then,
00:06:24.000
oh, just kidding. I'm I'm actually going to now jump into politics for the first time in my life,
00:06:29.540
win by a landslide. And now I'm a minister. It's just, you know, and I have no I have no shade at all
00:06:35.540
in people who are first time ministers. Of course, everybody starts from somewhere. But my goodness,
00:06:39.400
at the very least, I would like for you to have some sort of past expertise in the areas of which
00:06:44.760
you are ministering. So when it comes to this entire cabinet, it's just it really is just to
00:06:53.020
me, it's rewarding a lot of people, 50 percent roughly of which have have failed and have done
00:06:59.380
a really bad job. And, you know, another detail there, too, is Mark Carney had said that he wanted
00:07:04.360
50 percent of his cabinet to be female, 50 percent to be male. And I'm just personally
00:07:09.600
kind of over that, you know, like, don't get me wrong. There's plenty of incredibly capable
00:07:14.040
women. However, 50 percent of them, I'm sure not every single one of them is absolutely
00:07:19.240
qualified for the positions of which they were promoted to. And I'm just really over that
00:07:23.260
type of hiring. And I think that that type of promotion and rewarding is what has gotten
00:07:27.940
Canada into such a mess? Because, you know, our government for many, many years now has
00:07:32.960
prioritized DEI standards over people who are just really good at their job.
00:07:39.260
One hundred percent. I mean, this is one of the downfalls of the Trudeau government is that
00:07:42.520
they were obsessed with putting out these like gender balanced budgets. Everything had
00:07:46.400
to be looked through a gendered lens or wasting their time on this nonsense. Meanwhile, the real
00:07:50.780
issues of the country are being neglected. And in many ways, they're throwing gasoline on the
00:07:54.780
fire. And yes, when Justin Trudeau announced that 50 percent of his cabinet would be women,
00:07:59.620
it was the women by and large that ended up basically a lot of them getting fired and getting
00:08:05.160
thrown under the bus and not being properly qualified for the roles in the first place.
00:08:09.900
And that was part of the damage of Justin Trudeau. OK, well, here is Mark Carney speaking yesterday
00:08:15.020
outside of Rideau Hall. He told reporters that his government will deliver its mandate for
00:08:19.800
change. This is what change looks like, according to our prime minister. Let's play that clip.
00:08:24.780
Everyone needs help with something. If investing is your something, we get it.

00:08:50.580
Cooperators Life Insurance Company. Life insurance is underwritten by Cooperators Life Insurance Company.
00:08:53.760
Our government will deliver its mandate for change with urgency and determination.
00:09:01.980
We're going to deliver that mandate with a new team purpose built for this hinge moment in Canada's
00:09:09.460
history. Now, to her credit, CTV's Vashi Capellos grilled Mark Carney, basically saying, you know,
00:09:17.180
these are the same people that you had that we saw under Justin Trudeau. So let's play that clip.
00:09:22.840
Even when you point to the experience of those who are in the sort of biggest roles, the reason
00:09:28.780
why I highlight them is because they were at the forefront of the decisions that the previous
00:09:33.140
government made. They were. I mean, Melanie Jolie, Francois-Philippe Champagne, he led the industrial
00:09:38.080
policy. Now he'll be in charge of finance. Dominic LeBlanc led a lot of those files as well. We are used to
00:09:43.720
hearing from them justifying and explaining the decisions that Justin Trudeau made. So now we're
00:09:48.580
going to hear from them again. Well, first off, now you're hearing from me. I'm a new prime minister.
00:09:52.240
I'm the 24th prime minister of Canada. I've got very clear set of objectives, which I laid out in the
00:09:58.580
course of my initial government from that cabinet table. Cancel the carbon tax right there. I mean,
00:10:03.500
there were so many differences. As I say, half of the cabinet is different. Big change in terms of
00:10:08.900
priorities. Big change in terms of speed. This is one of the fastest swearing in in Canadian history.
00:10:15.580
It will be one of the fastest returns in parliament in Canadian history. I like how he wants credit for
00:10:21.020
moving things along so that he can very quickly, very hastily move through his agenda. You know,
00:10:26.300
he got sworn in the first time as prime minister. It took him a week or two to actually trigger an
00:10:31.800
election, which he should have done immediately. But he wanted to get a few trips into Europe under his
00:10:35.820
belt before he called an election. And he called the shortest election period possible. So he's out
00:10:41.520
there looking for points and expecting to be patted on the back by the legacy media. Well, we'll get to
00:10:45.660
the fact that CBC actually did pat him on the back and they do repeat him, his talking points. But it
00:10:50.900
was nice to see CTV's Vasily Capello's kind of push back on the nonsense a little bit. And it's always
00:10:56.080
amusing to see how Mark Kearney reacts when he gets a journalist with a bit of a backbone. He clearly
00:11:02.020
doesn't like he doesn't like the line of questioning there. What did you make of it?
00:11:06.040
Oh, gosh. I mean, I just it is so disappointing to me to see the way that Mark Kearney talks over people
00:11:12.840
when he doesn't like what they're saying. I think that that is oh, you know, people will say, well, he's not a
00:11:16.620
politician. And it's like, yeah, that's so great. You actually don't have to be a politician to actually just be a
00:11:21.200
decent human being. But it is really fascinating to me to see him and just how frequently he will interrupt to try to
00:11:28.340
course correct without even letting people finish their thoughts. That's something that I just I
00:11:32.200
dislike so much whenever I see it doesn't matter what party is is doing it. And I will say it's it
00:11:39.480
was quite laughable. Even Mark Kearney being like, oh, well, you're hearing it from me now. It's like,
00:11:44.620
OK, cool. That doesn't make a difference at all. I don't care if we're hearing it from you. You are the
00:11:50.400
same party. You have like 50 percent of the exact same ministers. This is the exact same team.
00:11:56.300
So, yeah, you deserve to be questioned and called out, especially in terms of all of these people who
00:12:02.100
who you decided to stick with when they do have failed track records. And, you know, I think that
00:12:08.720
I think that Mark Kearney could have had a much better likability, maybe even thrown some conservatives
00:12:14.180
for a bit of a loop had he had he actually made some of those big changes. And I think if there's
00:12:19.820
anything at all that we can tell, it's that there's no big changes. He's going to keep telling us that
00:12:24.340
there are, but they're just simply are not. Right. Well, this is something that conservative
00:12:29.380
leader Pierre Polio pointed out. Here is a clip of him reacting to Kearney's cabinet picks,
00:12:35.180
basically highlighting the failed record of the ministers that Mark Kearney has just promoted.
00:12:40.240
Let's play that clip. The first disappointment is, unfortunately, his cabinet. He appointed Trudeau's
00:12:46.300
old team and Trudeau's old advisers. Stephen Gilbeau, whose radical green agenda would shut
00:12:53.300
down all future developments in our resource industry. He is still the minister responsible
00:12:58.140
for Quebec. Sean Frazier is the immigration minister. It was the immigration minister who
00:13:04.140
caused the immigration crisis. The housing minister who gave us the housing crisis. And now he's the
00:13:09.940
minister responsible for addressing the liberal crime crisis. It seems like he is the master at failing
00:13:16.220
upward. Then there's Francois-Philippe Champagne, Trudeau's minister of everything, who never really
00:13:22.100
managed to do anything. Then there's Jolie, LeBlanc, Haidu, Annan. Annan was the president of the
00:13:29.100
secretary of the treasury board, during which time the bureaucracy and the consultant bills blew out of
00:13:35.920
control. In all, 14 Trudeau ministers are now in Kearney's cabinet. It's more of the same when Canada
00:13:42.600
needs real change. So, Polyev doing what he should do. He's the opposition minister. Now,
00:13:48.800
you pointed this out on X, Jasmine. You write this in two minutes. CBC insults Pierre Polyev,
00:13:54.460
mocks him, defends Kearney's cabinet picks, and reminds us how biased they are. Let's play,
00:14:00.220
I don't know if we have the whole clip, but let's play this clip and you can point out your favorite
00:14:04.280
parts of it. Cabinet is broken, is essentially what he said, right? It's no longer Canada's
00:14:09.420
saying this cabinet is not changed. A silent approach for Mr. Polyev, Rosie, that would
00:14:15.260
suggest that it's almost as if he won the election rather than lost the election and lost his own
00:14:18.920
seat. You know, talking about how he's going to stand there in defense of Canadians, he'll only be
00:14:25.020
able to stand there, actually in the chamber behind him, because of the goodwill of the prime
00:14:31.720
minister who's going to call an early by-election for Mr. Polyev so he can run in one of his MP seats
00:14:37.060
in Alberta at the cost of close to two million dollars to have a by-election, all while he
00:14:41.580
stays in Stornoway throughout this. So it's interesting that given that sequence of events
00:14:45.420
and given those series of factors, that it was that kind of approach and response to things there
00:14:49.860
from Mr. Polyev. Going after Stephen Gilboa, talking of the radical environmental agenda,
00:14:55.360
blaming Sean Frazier for the housing crisis, which is, Sean Frazier's, I don't think he's 40 yet,
00:15:01.960
or he's just 40. I don't think he caused the housing crisis in Canada. There's a whole bunch of
00:15:05.940
layers and effects of that. But, you know, wanting to fight the same political battles
00:15:10.900
we've just endured during the five weeks of the campaign and for the two years leading up to that.
00:15:15.300
Now, I get that the CBC is mostly funded by taxpayers, and that is mostly because of the
00:15:20.860
Liberal government, who keeps doubling down and increasing their budget. But the CBC hosts don't
00:15:25.680
have to act like they work for the Liberal Party of Canada. Like, it's okay for them to at least
00:15:30.060
pretend to be moderate. They don't even try. I mean, David Cochran there sounds like Mark
00:15:36.080
Kearney's press secretary. It sounds like he's out there just towing the party line and defending
00:15:40.620
his team. What are your comments? Oh, boy, do I ever have a lot. First and foremost,
00:15:48.960
you know, it's fascinating to hear the deflection of, oh, well, you know, Sean Frazier, he's only 40,
00:15:53.800
so he definitely didn't cause that crisis. And you have Rosemary Barton. No, probably not. It's like,
00:15:59.180
okay, well, so if ministers have no involvement and no accountability when things go wrong,
00:16:04.840
and if you look at the data from when they were hired and assigned to certain portfolios
00:16:08.620
and the downward trend that has existed, but if they can't be held accountable and they,
00:16:14.040
according to CBC, have absolutely no influence, why are they ministers? Why do we have any of those
00:16:19.180
positions to begin with? If that's the case, then maybe we should just have a prime minister
00:16:23.060
and everybody else is just a waste of taxpayer dollars. So they kind of bit themselves with that one
00:16:28.040
because it just doesn't make logical sense. But whatever, you know, deflect, defame,
00:16:33.860
defend at all costs. I'm also wondering if David Cochran plans to complain as much about the
00:16:42.040
by-election in Terrebonne, which is due to the Elections Canada issue, as he has been complaining
00:16:48.200
about the by-election in Battle River Crowfoot with Pierre Polyevre. I won't hold my breath for that
00:16:53.460
one, but there's just so many things about this where the bias is so unreal, and it's okay to have
00:16:58.720
a bias. We all do. We're human beings. But when you work for, you know, the public broadcaster,
00:17:04.020
essentially, and you present news as though you don't have a bias and then proceed to tell everybody
00:17:11.340
what your bias is and everything that you do and say, it's just very disingenuous. It's misleading,
00:17:16.460
and I'm quite tired of it. And myself as well, you know, I worked in mainstream media for 11 years of
00:17:23.480
my career before going independent, and I absolutely believe that the CBC should be defunded. I don't
00:17:29.720
want to see people lose their jobs, but I want them to be defunded for reasons like this, where it is,
00:17:34.560
it's not honest at all. And it's just very disappointing, and it's no wonder why so many Canadians
00:17:40.800
have no idea how the political system works, because clips like this go viral, and people
00:17:46.820
share them, and people do watch. It's a low percentage, but they do. And it just, you know,
00:17:52.480
to sit there and mock kind of the role of the leader of the opposition, like, I'm sorry, so what do you
00:17:57.760
want him to do then? You want Pierre Polyevre to be the prime minister? That would make sense,
00:18:02.000
because you're very supportive of all of Carney's ideas that he's taken from Mr. Polyevre. But
00:18:06.700
it just, there's so many people out there who, they have a lot to say, a lot of opinions,
00:18:11.900
and they actually have no idea what the roles of a minister, of a prime minister, of a premier,
00:18:17.920
of a mayor, like, they just don't actually understand the levels there, and that's fine.
00:18:21.760
I don't blame them. It's confusing, and it's a lot to understand. But when it comes to CBC,
00:18:26.420
I am just, oof, I'm starting to get very tired of them.
00:18:31.100
Well, it's so true that the role of the official opposition is to criticize the government.
00:18:35.320
That is your job. And Pierre Polyevre, actually, in his speech, if we had played a longer bit,
00:18:39.520
you know, he said, look, I am going to stand with the government when I believe in what they're
00:18:44.060
doing is right. You know, if I agree with the approach they're taking to defending Canada
00:18:47.540
national security, I will come out and say it. However, when they make big mistakes, when they,
00:18:51.880
you know, do things that harm the economy, harm the health of the market, I'm going to be there
00:18:56.400
to hold them accountable. And to me, it was David Coggeron. I mean, sure, I would probably prefer it if
00:19:01.420
he just came out and said, look, everyone, you know, you probably could tell by the way that I talk,
00:19:04.640
but I do vote liberal. I love the Liberal Party of Canada. I have, you know, I have the party card
00:19:10.720
in my pocket, right? Whatever he's going to say, I would actually have a bit more respect for him
00:19:14.780
than that. And I would maybe question why the CBC would have like four card carrying members of the
00:19:19.840
Liberal Party who host all of their shows. But, you know, that's kind of a conversation for the day.
00:19:23.800
It's like, at the end of the day, though, like you're on the public broadcaster. Your job is to
00:19:28.220
report the news to Canadians. Why the snark, right? Why doesn't he have to go, you know,
00:19:32.480
oh, there's Pierre Polyev who lost his own seat. He's acting like he won, but he actually lost his
00:19:37.260
own seat. And like later in the broadcast as well, they were talking about how he should really be
00:19:42.500
showing some gratitude to Mark Carney because Mark Carney is allowing him to have a by-election.
00:19:47.460
You know, he didn't have to do that. Democracy!
00:19:48.840
Yeah, exactly. Mark Carney didn't have to let Pierre Polyev have a seat back in the House of
00:19:54.520
Commons. Like he's the king. He's the monarch now. He has utter control over everything. So he could
00:19:59.500
have, he could, yeah. Okay, fine. He could have blocked Mark Carney, Pierre Polyev from having a
00:20:04.220
seat. He could have said, we're not going to do a by-election until September. But he would have had
00:20:08.260
so much pushback and criticism on him. And then same thing that, yes, I guess, according to the
00:20:14.360
official rules, Pierre Polyev shouldn't be living in Stornoway. Stornoway is the home of the official
00:20:19.480
opposition, which is a role in parliament, right? And technically, Pierre Polyev is not the leader
00:20:25.080
of the official opposition right now because he's not a parliamentarian. Once he has a by-election,
00:20:28.640
he gets a seat back, then he will become it. So technically, Mark Carney could have evicted him
00:20:32.740
from Stornoway. He could have had him move out for the summer. And then as soon as by-election happened,
00:20:37.320
he could have moved back in. But that would have been incredibly petty, first of all,
00:20:40.400
and incredibly costly to taxpayers. So the CBC wants to give Carney credit for these really
00:20:46.100
trivial things. And they want to criticize Pierre Polyev for, again, very trivial things. Like,
00:20:51.480
I was critical of the party. I was critical of Polyev's team for allowing him to lose his seat
00:20:55.620
in Carleton. I think that they could have done a lot more to make sure that he got that seat because
00:20:58.700
it was quite embarrassing for him to lose that seat. But there's the CBC really kind of putting salt
00:21:05.040
in the wounds, like, rubbing it in. Oh, it's going to cost $2 million of taxpayer money for
00:21:10.800
this by-election. So Pierre Polyev, you should, like, be apologizing for that. Like, just everything
00:21:15.840
about that segment and that piece is just, like, the epitome of why, like, half the country hates
00:21:20.580
the CBC and why they just absolutely need to be defunded.
00:21:24.120
It really blows my mind, too, because at the end of the day, when it comes to details like that,
00:21:28.520
you know, it's one thing to criticize somebody because they spent, you know, millions of taxpayer
00:21:32.980
dollars funding somewhere in, you know, Aruba, how beneficial it would be to eat bugs.
00:21:40.140
But it's another thing to criticize a party because the taxpayers are funding for democracy.
00:21:48.520
Like, wasn't that what you kept telling us the conservatives and Donald Trump was going to take
00:21:52.340
away? Oh, OK, weird. And, you know, at the end of the day, I really, truly, I just like to try to
00:21:59.080
flip the script, you know, like, hmm. Well, I wonder what they would say if Pierre Polyev had
00:22:04.540
won the election and Mark Carney was now moving out of Canada again because he had no interest to
00:22:09.520
actually be here because none of his business is here. I wonder how they would then try to defend
00:22:14.800
it because these types of things, it really is. It's such a nothing sandwich. It is. And it's just
00:22:20.300
these there's so many weak points that have no merit that, you know, are very loose in how they
00:22:27.920
are described. They're very misleading that people, particularly the left, go off of to try to insult
00:22:35.000
the conservatives. And the only thing that ever comes to mind for me whenever I hear things like
00:22:39.280
that is, number one, you're mean and I probably wouldn't have been friends with you in high school.
00:22:43.920
And number two, you literally have nothing to go off of here. Like, you don't. Like,
00:22:48.520
you have so little to go off of to try to push out Supreme Leader Mark Carney that you have to go
00:22:54.840
and criticize democracy in Canada and promote, oh, wow, he's so great for allowing that to happen.
00:23:02.600
It's like, what? Duh. Like, it's just it's such a nothing sandwich. And it's just very frustrating
00:23:10.300
to hear on the daily. And I have also noticed, I don't know if you have, that CBC, they've always
00:23:16.760
been left leaning. I would say they've been particularly left leaning since probably like
00:23:20.520
1997, roughly. Then they were a little bit more central. And then when Justin Trudeau was running
00:23:27.580
against Stephen Harper, similar to this election, Harper had said that he was going to be cutting some
00:23:31.780
of their funding. And Justin Trudeau said he was going to be increasing it. And we saw the tides turn
00:23:35.980
with how they reported. That should be a wake up call to anybody. But then with this election campaign
00:23:41.540
and with how hard Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives were saying we should defund them,
00:23:46.100
I certainly noticed just a newfound confidence of CBC broadcasters to push out as much smear as they
00:23:55.940
can, to push out as much narrative as they can. And it's been really disappointing and just gross.
00:24:02.440
I don't know how else to explain it to witness. Well, it's true. It's like they're feeding their base,
00:24:06.640
they know that the base of the Liberal Party is the same as the viewers of the CBC. And they actually
00:24:12.340
love it when they go low and they take cheap shots at Polyev. And they're helping to further the
00:24:19.200
partisan divide in this country. It's sad. They watch Pierre Polyev and they just hate him. And so
00:24:25.100
it's very easy for them to point out all of his little flaws. And they don't realize that when they
00:24:29.760
attack him, they're not just attacking him, right? Because regular people in Canada who identify with
00:24:35.900
Pierre Polyev and like him, they also feel like they're being attacked when the CBC does this
00:24:41.020
routine. And you're right, they do it all the time. Okay, folks, we are going to be back. We're
00:24:44.880
going to take a little break. And then we're going to do another segment with Jasmine Lane. We're going
00:24:48.020
to talk about election integrity. We're going to talk about that seat that she just mentioned
00:24:52.320
and the potential by-election that's going to happen in Terrebonne, Quebec. So we will be
