The Candice Malcolm Show - Doug Ford and Danielle Smith DROP THE GLOVES, Carney EXPOSED on expectations vs. reality

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you today. It was an explosive day in politics yesterday. We covered that meeting, that bilateral sit down between the Canadians and the Americans in the Oval Office with Trump and Carney. We went through that, but we're going to cover a bit more of the reaction.

00:00:19.760 I want to start, though, by talking about this feud between Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta and Premier Doug Ford in Ontario. Before we get to that, though, I'm going to ask you to like this video. It really helps us with the YouTube algorithm.

00:00:33.240 Okay, so the two premiers, the two quote-unquote conservatives are changing a war of words, and I want to get into this a little.

00:00:41.720 First, I'm going to introduce our guest today, who is Mario Zaleo. Mario is a political commentator and a businessman, a successful businessman. He has a huge, huge audience over on TikTok and many other social media channels.

00:00:54.360 So, Mario, always great to have you on the show. Thanks for joining us.

00:00:58.020 Thanks, Candice.

00:00:58.440 So, I want to get into this sort of war of words here. As we saw after the election, after the federal election ended, sort of the knives came out.

00:01:09.080 During the election, we saw, oddly, the progressive conservatives, Doug Ford, his chief of staff, Corey Tanike, unnecessarily inserting themselves in the election.

00:01:17.840 And as soon as the vote was over, we saw Jamil Giovanni kind of jump in and smack him down and say, I'm sure, what they had been wanting to say for quite some time, which was basically just that we don't need advice from the Ontario provincial conservatives as to how to run the federal campaign.

00:01:33.440 Well, this time, Doug Ford decided to take a swipe at Alberta Premier Daniel Smith and sort of boost Mark Carney.

00:01:40.500 I think it's pretty openly clear that Doug Ford is just openly a liberal at this point.

00:01:45.260 So, let's play that clip.

00:01:46.060 All he's trying to do, and we wish him, I forget about political stripes, by the way.

00:01:51.800 We have a prime minister down there, and he's going to be sitting down, and he's going to give it everything he can.

00:01:57.860 This is a time to unite the country, not people saying, oh, I'm leaving the country, or I'm doing this, I'm doing that.

00:02:04.660 You know, united we stand, divided we fall.

00:02:07.580 And we have to be united Canada together to fight President Trump's terror.

00:02:13.140 It was sort of like an old school George Bush line, united we stand, divided we fall.

00:02:19.600 So, Danielle Smith sort of responded in kind yesterday, saying that she has a great relationship with Premier Ford.

00:02:27.080 She did joke that they probably supported different people in the last election, kind of just taking a jab that he's, at this point, like I said, basically a federal liberal.

00:02:34.560 And then she just said, I don't tell him how to run my province, so he shouldn't tell me how to run his.

00:02:39.720 Let's play that clip.

00:02:40.540 Well, Doug and I have a great friendship.

00:02:43.260 We don't agree on everything.

00:02:44.820 In fact, I think we supported different people in the last federal election.

00:02:48.800 And so, we don't have to agree on everything.

00:02:51.560 But what I will say is we have a constructive conversation at the cough table.

00:02:56.120 I continue to look forward to having a constructive conversation with him at the cough table.

00:03:00.760 But he's the Premier of Ontario.

00:03:03.760 I'm the Premier of Alberta.

00:03:04.840 We just have different issues that we have to respond to in our respective jurisdictions.

00:03:09.120 I don't tell him how he should run his province, and I would hope that he doesn't tell me how I should run mine.

00:03:14.120 But we have a very respectful relationship, and I hope that continues.

00:03:17.900 As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not support Alberta separating from Canada.

00:03:22.660 And she sort of reiterated there that she doesn't want to separate from Canada.

00:03:26.680 She said that many times.

00:03:27.660 Like, I know Premier Smith.

00:03:28.740 She doesn't strike me as a separatist.

00:03:30.260 Never has.

00:03:31.140 All she's doing is creating a democratic process to basically just acknowledge the fact that there is a large separatist movement in Alberta.

00:03:39.360 So, Mario, what did you make of this back and forth here?

00:03:43.020 Well, I think the backlash towards, you know, Ford, I think it started probably well before I think Jamil actually made public comments.

00:03:52.660 Um, and, you know, I've seen it a lot on X.

00:03:55.580 I've seen it on the social media platforms.

00:03:57.480 A lot of, you know, major, you know, political influencers, people who cover the news, uh, people like myself have been, uh, very vocal against Doug Ford and how he did not endorse nor help, um, Pierre Polyev.

00:04:11.780 I think he specifically said that, um, we're busy.

00:04:15.100 My MP, my MPPs are busy.

00:04:17.020 Sorry, I can't help you.

00:04:18.160 And then he started criticizing and doubling down saying things like the truth hurts when his, I think, campaign manager basically accused Pierre Polyev of, of, I think he called it political, uh, campaign negligence.

00:04:30.940 So something along those lines, but it was grotesque for them to insert themselves in that way.

00:04:36.120 And meanwhile, sip on, you know, basically lattes and have coffee with Krista Freeland and, and do a photo op with Mark Carney.

00:04:43.620 I think it was, I think we all saw for what it was.

00:04:46.240 And I think Danielle's commentary of, you know, we probably supported different people in the last, I think it's all true.

00:04:51.540 I think it is all factually true.

00:04:53.460 And if anyone watching, um, can just go on X, look at anything Doug Ford posts, look at anything and read the comments.

00:05:02.140 Every single comment you will see on there has something to do with him being a traitor.

00:05:06.700 And that has been vocalized quite actively.

00:05:10.320 And I think it really exploded to be much more than what, what, what it, what it used to be when Jamil brought it forward.

00:05:17.880 And with the image that he put on where, you know, he's dressed up as Hulk Hogan, ripping his shirt open.

00:05:24.220 And, and for those who haven't seen it, you know, he, Doug Ford is wearing this shirt.

00:05:27.640 It says Ontario conservatives, but he's ripping it over open.

00:05:30.740 And then there's a liberal red shirt underneath, basically exposing the fact that he truly is a liberal.

00:05:35.920 I mean, this is how we all feel.

00:05:38.060 I think it's very accurate.

00:05:39.440 I think it's very real.

00:05:40.420 I think, um, if you did any sort of approval rating for Doug Ford right now, and if there's any sort of polling,

00:05:46.500 it would be so incredibly low.

00:05:49.160 There's so many people that, and the consistent commentary that I've been seeing from people is,

00:05:53.480 I will, if he's in power for the next election, I will never vote for him.

00:05:57.560 Like, and my approach is, we will never forget this.

00:06:01.280 I agree.

00:06:02.060 I was part of what I was trying to figure out during the campaign was what was his motive, right?

00:06:06.120 I wondered if maybe does he have ambitions to run federally?

00:06:09.160 And so he was sort of pre-positioning his team and his henchmen to kind of, you know,

00:06:14.100 they, they, they smelt blood and to like go for the kill against Pierre Polyev, try to sink him.

00:06:18.120 So he loses the election so that Ford can be next in line for the leadership.

00:06:22.260 But I think you're right.

00:06:22.980 Like, I don't think that the conservative base and the, like, the, the, the voting, uh, partisans in the party would ever forgive Doug Ford for what he's done.

00:06:33.880 I don't know that his polling is low in Ontario because there isn't really much competition.

00:06:37.900 Like both the liberals and the NDP in Ontario just can't seem to get their acts together.

00:06:43.720 And both of them sort of always prioritize the federal party as opposed to the provincial party.

00:06:48.260 They just don't have like a good candidate to step in, in either, either place because both, you know, talented people in Ontario that are part of the liberal party tend to go towards the feds at this point anyway.

00:06:58.200 You know, maybe if Polyev was the prime minister, things would change.

00:07:00.500 But I, I did, I did kind of wonder, like, what is the motive?

00:07:03.980 Why? I, I actually, like, probably thinking about it, I'm not sure that Doug Ford has aspirations to become prime minister.

00:07:10.400 I think he just really likes to be involved.

00:07:12.420 Like, he wants to be, he likes the attention.

00:07:14.520 He likes to be in the center of things.

00:07:16.280 He just wanted attention.

00:07:17.940 And the fact that Pierre Polyev was getting all the attention because of the federal campaign, he just, like, in some way felt left out and wanted to be involved.

00:07:24.080 I don't think that there's anything deeper than that.

00:07:26.660 But from an Ontario perspective, I know that people are deeply disappointed in the way that the government is run.

00:07:32.700 Like, you know, maybe we need to do more to pressure this government to actually be conservative.

00:07:40.040 You know, it's right there in the name of their party, but they don't seem to have conservative principles, especially when it comes to standing up for tradition, protecting children against sort of like the most excessive, you know, left-wing ideology that gets pushed in our school system.

00:07:55.400 Like, the total collapse of our health care.

00:07:57.700 Like, there just doesn't seem to be any competency there or any conservatism.

00:08:03.460 What do you make of all that?

00:08:05.260 Well, I mean, I think it's true.

00:08:07.080 I think his policies, I mean, even if you go back to the COVID days, like, if you, you know, if I were in his position, you know, we have a shortage of nurses.

00:08:16.900 We have a shortage of health care workers.

00:08:19.220 I would have rehired all of the health care workers that lost their job because they refused to put something in their body. 0.83

00:08:26.240 Of course, yeah.

00:08:27.100 And I would have done it with, and I would have done it with back pay.

00:08:29.780 That is unequivocally, like, that should have been done without question.

00:08:34.300 He's had every opportunity to do that.

00:08:35.940 He hasn't.

00:08:36.740 I have no idea what he's in for another four years.

00:08:39.260 Do it now.

00:08:39.720 Like, we're facing a crisis, and we're basically instead importing nurses that are not qualified, that have fake credentials from overseas, that go over to Buffalo to get trained on how to actually do IV injections because the diploma they have is fake.

00:08:56.940 And I know this because I hear from people that tell me this.

00:09:00.560 They know people that have done this.

00:09:02.300 They have seen coworkers get fired because they weren't actually nurses.

00:09:08.440 They had no idea what they were doing.

00:09:10.100 They couldn't even do the basics.

00:09:11.880 And so these are very real problems that I think are much larger than what we think.

00:09:16.900 And so if we have that, if we have that problem, why is it not being plugged?

00:09:21.540 I would make sure that there would be criminal consequences associated with that.

00:09:25.840 I would come down so hard to deter anything like that ever from happening.

00:09:30.220 We're talking about people taking care of our parents, taking care of our children, of ourselves.

00:09:36.000 And we're trusting, what, a bunch of scam artists that decided to, you know, pay $500 for a fake, you know, a nursing degree overseas to bring it over here and take care of us.

00:09:46.160 That's not taking care of us.

00:09:47.180 You could actually kill us.

00:09:48.980 And so, you know, to me, he's not a conservative.

00:09:53.720 I don't think he ever really has been.

00:09:55.240 His policies, I mean, like, look at the things that he lines himself up with.

00:09:59.980 He would much rather have alcohol sold in every single corner convenience store than to focus on expanding health care, than to fight for us and go to the federal government and say, you're letting too many people into this country.

00:10:14.880 Like the city of Brampton right now is the fastest growing city in all of Canada.

00:10:19.540 We don't have enough hospitals for all these people.

00:10:22.080 You need to stop.

00:10:23.480 He's never said that.

00:10:24.700 Not once.

00:10:25.540 Not explicitly, not publicly, not ever.

00:10:27.440 And so a true leader needs to stand behind the facts and the people of what's happening.

00:10:33.460 It just shows that there's this massive disconnect and he tiptoes around issues and never says things explicitly.

00:10:41.080 He has no problem with corporate welfare and giving, you know, the billions of dollars in incentives, tax breaks, and money to, you know, these large multinational corporations to build EV plants, which were just decimated completely by the tariffs.

00:10:55.460 And so, you know, they went all in on corporate welfare, but they left the regular working class citizen completely holding the bag. 0.61

00:11:06.220 I wish that that was something that we all took away from the Trump tariff threats is that it's probably not a good idea to have government prop up industry because this is what Trump is talking about when he says that Canada is subsidized, that Canada is cheating, all this stuff.

00:11:18.260 It's like he's pointing to something that is real, that exists, and it seems to be a philosophy sort of of the liberals, but it does get picked up from time to time from conservatives, or at least they don't have the courage to eliminate it.

00:11:28.120 But why is it in Canada that government needs to hand millions of dollars, sometimes tens of millions, sometimes even billions of dollars to private companies?

00:11:37.420 It doesn't make sense. Like, even in the media space, which is one I'm familiar with, it's like, we started Juno News from basically nothing, we've built it up into a successful business, we've only been around for a few months, and it's already profitable, very profitable, okay?

00:11:49.220 So, like, why is it that some media go hat in hand to the government and get money? Like, it just doesn't make sense. When there is a free market business plan that makes sense, then you don't need the government involved, and yet the government just loves to be involved, and they want to be involved, they want to prop up these industries.

00:12:06.220 They created essentially an artificial film industry by just creating tax credits and bribing these film industry movie companies to come up to Vancouver and Toronto to film the movies here.

00:12:18.460 The companies did it because they were getting paid to by the Canadian government, and Trump just wakes up one day and says, enough, we're going to tariff it, and it's going to be devastating.

00:12:26.960 So, this whole idea that it's the government's job to prop up businesses and industries and create entire sectors of the economy, it's not sustainable, it's not, like, we can't afford it, first of all, and second of all, it's like, all that has to happen is the Americans decide, like, hey, you can't do that, that's cheating, and then the entire thing goes away, and it will be, I'm sorry to see it.

00:12:49.220 Like, I feel bad for everyone who works in the film industry, because it won't be nice, it won't be pretty, but the reality is that the government, Canadian government and liberal governments and progressive conservatives like Doug Ford, they're the reason why these industries are so unstable.

00:13:04.820 Yes, and I would say that there's also this mass disparity between the billions of dollars that get deployed into different sectors, and I'll give you a perfect example.

00:13:12.740 Uh, I believe between, uh, Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford, it was something to the tune of 14-ish billion dollars that was given, I think it was to Volkswagen, and I think the totality of jobs that were going to be created was 2,000.

00:13:25.620 And so, the ROI that we would get from this is, is what?

00:13:30.260 And that's what I don't understand.

00:13:31.680 And, and, and, and on the, on the film industry side, you know, the, the incentives aren't in the tens of billions of dollars, but it created, you know, I, I think the, uh, international portion of the jobs that get created was something like 138,000 jobs or something like that.

00:13:49.740 That's what's at risk right now, because it's been propped up.

00:13:52.580 What people, you know, may not realize is there's something called shred credits.

00:13:56.840 I don't know if you're familiar with it.

00:13:57.960 It's called, uh, it it's S R E D and these shred credits are, uh, it's basically almost like an innovation fund.

00:14:04.880 And it existed when I used to be back in, in, in the tech world, uh, over a decade ago, they've expanded them and I'm, I'm going to leave, um, you know, certain companies anonymous, but I know Canadians who do not live in Canada. 0.80

00:14:18.860 They live in the U S they have their headquarters in Canada.

00:14:22.740 They take advantage of the credit system.

00:14:26.340 Their costs are in Canada, but their profits are in the U S.

00:14:31.060 And so what they do is that it's a form of transfer pricing.

00:14:33.920 And so what you do is you make the U S dollars, you have the costs in the U S you have enough of those, sorry, you have the costs in Canada, but what the government does, they pay nearly half of the salaries.

00:14:45.260 If you're doing something innovative and innovation is by the way shred defines it, it, I honestly believe it's very subjective and it's something that you could very easily sell.

00:14:55.860 So as soon as you say, Oh, we're, we're leveraging AI in video or in the way we're doing, you know, video channels and video feeds.

00:15:03.740 Well, no, what there's their whole business model.

00:15:06.920 They're getting top notch engineers from Canada, taking advantage of our tax dollars, using us as a cost basis, taking those credits and exporting those profits to the U S.

00:15:18.440 Well, and just even to add onto that, I I'll just speak briefly on this because my husband started a tech company in Waterloo about a decade ago as well.

00:15:25.060 And one of the things when they were trying to raise money was that all the VCs.

00:15:28.720 So the investors of venture capitalists were all like, you have to sign up for these government subsidies.

00:15:33.220 And it's like any self-respecting entrepreneur who's trying to build a big business and has a vision for the future, doesn't want to be spending like half their work week filling out government welfare forms.

00:15:44.460 Like it's, it's, it's so the entire process itself is humiliating.

00:15:48.080 It's like you're taking an engineer and rather than getting them to code and do something innovative and do something exciting, you're saying, go apply for your government welfare check.

00:15:56.420 And these guys would have to spend like every Friday doing this stuff.

00:15:59.060 And it's like, no wonder Canada can't innovate.

00:16:02.060 No wonder innovative and entrepreneurial Canadians move out of Canada and move to like the Silicon Valley because the entire system joke. 0.92

00:16:08.700 I want to move on just sort of talking about Trump and tariffs with a bit more backlash.

00:16:13.620 So, you know, like I said, we covered this in great detail on the show yesterday, but there's a bit more kind of bubbling out that I wanted to go back and cover.

00:16:21.080 So, yes, Mark Carney was in Washington, D.C., had that bilateral meeting with Trump.

00:16:25.160 I did not think it went well.

00:16:26.300 I thought it was like Donald Trump did like a master class, like art of the deal, subtle, low level, embarrassing Carney, taking jabs at him and getting essentially exactly what he wants and showing who's who's in control and who's the boss.

00:16:38.400 I'll just show a few clips.

00:16:39.400 So, first of all, here is Mark Carney being greeted by Donald Trump and just optically like this, you know, anti-vaxxer pointing this out on X.

00:16:48.160 Mark Carney, terrible posture, slouched shoulders, jello wrist, just awful.

00:16:52.400 Let's play that clip.

00:16:53.060 So more just body language here.

00:17:11.580 This is another post on X from Behezi tweets saying this.

00:17:16.580 This is the very moment Mark Carney realized he lost everything.

00:17:19.380 Just look at his body language after hearing Trump's firm response like you don't even have to hear the sound here, but you can just see Mark Carney.

00:17:26.880 And this was kind of the theme, Mario, throughout the entire meeting yesterday is it was just kind of awkward for Mark Carney, right?

00:17:33.720 Because Donald Trump is so in control.

00:17:35.960 He's such a you know, he's so outspoken.

00:17:39.820 He's so loud.

00:17:40.340 He's so confident.

00:17:41.100 He's the president of the United States.

00:17:42.560 It's his home territory.

00:17:43.780 It's his office.

00:17:45.060 And Carney just kind of looked like he was just caught off guard.

00:17:48.140 He was not he was out of his depth.

00:17:50.040 He was trying to interject.

00:17:51.380 He knew he had to say something because Trump just kept insulting him.

00:17:54.280 Like, you know, in a kind of like big smile on his face, like low level insults.

00:17:57.720 But like saying that Canada shouldn't be his own country, saying that he didn't like Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau or Chrystia Freeland,

00:18:07.660 talking about how Canada cheats on trade and that they were still going to go through with like the tariffs, like all this stuff.

00:18:14.840 And you can see Mark Carney trying to interject, but like he wasn't quite able to.

00:18:19.320 I just I just didn't think it looked good.

00:18:20.760 I don't know why he agreed to this kind of a meeting in the first place.

00:18:23.620 What was your like total overall takeaway from the meeting yesterday?

00:18:26.800 I think it was a I told you so moment for all liberal voters.

00:18:34.600 And I think it basically showed that Mark Carney wasn't going to be going elbows up.

00:18:41.200 He wasn't the person to be aggressive.

00:18:43.960 He wasn't the person that's going to change anything with the tariffs.

00:18:47.900 Donald Trump had already made his mind.

00:18:49.880 I truly believe Mark Carney knew this.

00:18:52.600 And I think he knew that because he could have had that same meeting a month ago.

00:18:56.880 People forget he won the leadership, but he was our prime minister before the election actually happened.

00:19:01.780 He took over for Trudeau and instead he jumped on a plane and went to Europe.

00:19:05.460 He did that strategically because he knew if he had that same meeting, it would send the signal to all of Canada.

00:19:12.720 Wow, he's not the guy.

00:19:14.460 He's not the guy.

00:19:15.620 He's not.

00:19:16.080 He didn't stand up to Donald Trump.

00:19:17.620 He didn't say anything.

00:19:18.520 He hasn't negotiated anything directly with him.

00:19:20.580 And now that he's in power, he knows this and that there's nothing he can really do.

00:19:27.180 And I think the I think Canadians got duped.

00:19:29.960 I really do.

00:19:30.720 I think they got duped because this is supposed to be our elbows up guy.

00:19:34.060 He's supposed to go in there aggressive.

00:19:35.500 He's got his Ph.D.

00:19:37.060 You know, like this is like the most amazing thing in the world.

00:19:39.860 He knows the economy.

00:19:41.940 He knows economics.

00:19:42.720 He's going to get back at Trump.

00:19:44.180 He didn't.

00:19:44.880 He won't.

00:19:45.100 Well, it's funny.

00:19:45.640 I saw someone put this out on X.

00:19:47.320 I can't remember who it was.

00:19:48.040 So I don't have a specific example, but it was something along the lines of, you know,

00:19:50.820 liberals are very happy right now.

00:19:52.300 They like the fact that Carney went soft and sort of like tried to appease Trump.

00:19:57.240 Like for some reason that made liberals happy, whereas it made conservatives very angry because

00:20:01.360 they feel like he lied basically about who he was and now he's getting away with it.

00:20:06.000 And I wouldn't say that I was angry by his performance.

00:20:08.600 But I do agree with you that he, you know, liberals got duped.

00:20:12.760 Carney was supposed to go in and like, yeah, like you said, be the economics professor in

00:20:17.260 school, Trump, and like somehow show him that he's wrong.

00:20:20.020 And that's not what happened at all.

00:20:23.080 I don't know that he kissed the ring, but he kind of did.

00:20:24.960 Right.

00:20:25.120 He said, Trump, you're a transformational president.

00:20:27.500 And then he hit all the points that Trump had been talking about throughout the campaign.

00:20:31.500 You know, immigration, border, Arctic security.

00:20:33.540 Like he basically is saying that Canada is going to concede to everything, which we at

00:20:37.880 Juneau News reported this, right?

00:20:39.280 Like we know that Ian Bremmer, head of Eurasia Group, said that Carney will quietly fold after

00:20:43.600 the campaign.

00:20:44.180 That's exactly what happened.

00:20:45.180 You posted this on X.

00:20:46.460 And I want to play this clip because it's a longer clip, but it perfectly shows exactly

00:20:51.600 what Mark Carney has done.

00:20:53.660 It exposes him.

00:20:54.600 This was posted by our friend Jasmine Lane.

00:20:56.900 She writes, Mark Carney got crushed by Trump today and Canadians are paying the price.

00:21:00.900 He successfully pulled the wool over our eyes.

00:21:03.620 Don't believe me.

00:21:04.260 Just watch this compilation.

00:21:05.880 So let's play that clip, please.

00:21:07.580 I don't think we can change Donald Trump.

00:21:10.040 I don't think so.

00:21:11.160 Not at this stage.

00:21:12.040 Get you to lift tariffs on Canada.

00:21:14.860 No.

00:21:15.500 Why not?

00:21:16.660 Just the way it is.

00:21:18.280 And a person who draws his inspiration from President Trump, like Pierre Polyev, will

00:21:22.640 kneel down before him.

00:21:24.780 You're a transformational president.

00:21:26.200 The focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker.

00:21:30.260 Securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids, and securing

00:21:38.760 the world.

00:21:39.480 Before he stands up to him, he's in sync with President Trump.

00:21:46.160 I thought you were excellent.

00:21:47.660 And I think we have a lot of things in common.

00:21:49.580 Pierre Polyev is also choosing to be willfully blind to the many and growing threats that face

00:21:55.880 our country.

00:21:56.560 We don't really want cars from Canada.

00:21:59.180 And we put tariffs on cars from Canada.

00:22:02.500 And at a certain point, it won't make economic sense for Canada to build those cars.

00:22:08.000 And we don't want steel from Canada because we're making our own steel and we're having

00:22:11.820 massive steel plants being built right now as we speak.

00:22:15.100 We really don't want Canadian steel and we don't want Canadian aluminum and various other

00:22:20.360 things.

00:22:21.560 So, I mean, you can't make it any clearer than that.

00:22:24.760 Obviously, liberals got duped.

00:22:26.420 Obviously, Mark Carney is doing something totally different than what he was saying on the campaign.

00:22:31.700 I guess my question for you, Mario, is does it matter?

00:22:33.920 Like, do liberals care?

00:22:35.120 Do Canadians care? 0.96

00:22:36.700 No, because I honestly believe that they are spinning this to be like, he won.

00:22:42.220 Did you see how he said, you know, never, never, never, you know, for the 51st?

00:22:46.860 Like, they're trying to spin it in the most positive light.

00:22:50.400 And it's not just them.

00:22:51.520 It's the mainstream media as well.

00:22:53.380 Like, you look up anything related to the meeting, the meeting went perfect.

00:22:57.800 And so for the average person who maybe hasn't seen these clips and maybe won't, they will,

00:23:02.640 you know, see the news headline on social media or they'll just quickly, you know, see a glance

00:23:08.440 of it in the news.

00:23:09.560 You think the meeting went well, this, wow, this is our guy.

00:23:12.420 But when you actually look at it, look at his body language.

00:23:14.800 He, he could tell he disagreed with Trump and he's just kind of biting his, like, it's

00:23:19.160 almost like he's biting his tongue and he wanted to say, but he couldn't interrupt.

00:23:22.420 And I mean, he, he just, he did not stand up for Canada.

00:23:25.640 He didn't stand up for himself.

00:23:27.040 He did not clarify the fact that, um, you know, Mr.

00:23:30.300 Trump, you know, or president Trump, we should clarify the fact that, you know, you want our

00:23:35.860 oil, you've asked for Keystone XL to be rebuilt.

00:23:39.020 We would love to work that deal in with you.

00:23:41.080 But when you factor in the oil and if you remove the oil that you desire from us, we're

00:23:46.480 technically then subsidizing you.

00:23:48.520 Like we have, we, we, you actually have a surplus with Canada.

00:23:51.940 The only reason, you know, there's this subsidy of 200 billion, it's because of the oil, because

00:23:56.960 of what they, they export from us. 0.72

00:23:58.700 And the only person in the first person that made that clear in Canada was actually Danielle

00:24:04.580 Smith when she went down to Mar-a-Lago and she presented that to Trump.

00:24:08.280 And so I think that is part of what helped in what you said in reducing the tariff from

00:24:13.400 25% to 10% on oil instead.

00:24:16.260 Well, it was, it was, it was 25 to 10 and I covered this in my show yesterday because

00:24:20.140 the CBC tried to do this ridiculous hit piece against Danielle Smith, outraged that she spent 1.00

00:24:24.220 $10,000 on flights, which just to point it out, like to fly from Edmonton, Alberta to

00:24:29.360 Palm Beach, Florida, that is basically as far as you can fly across North America.

00:24:33.280 The fact that she had four people, right?

00:24:34.820 I thought, at first I thought it was just two staffers and then another business person,

00:24:37.740 but she went, there were four of them that went and they only spent $10,000.

00:24:41.100 I mean, that like, I wish the CBC would kind of try to dig into how much Trudeau would spend

00:24:45.860 on these delegations and these soirees that he would have.

00:24:48.960 $10,000 is incredibly economical.

00:24:51.240 It made me respect Premier Smith even more.

00:24:53.040 I think you pointed out to me that she stayed at a Mariette hotel.

00:24:55.240 Like she's not living large on the taxpayer dime, but CBC is trying to make it seem scandalous

00:24:59.620 that she went and had a diplomatic meeting with the most powerful and important person in

00:25:04.360 the world.

00:25:04.820 So Mario, I appreciate your time.

00:25:07.020 We're going to have you back for the second segment after the break here.

00:25:09.620 And we're going to get into a whole bunch more.

00:25:12.440 So folks, stick around.

00:25:13.140 We will be back.

00:25:14.020 The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:25:14.740 Thank you and God bless.
