00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and welcome to The Candace Malcolm Show. We're back with another segment with Mario Zaleja, and we have some news to break here on The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:09.040 Yes, we usually just report the news, but sometimes we break news as well.
00:00:12.460 So we did a survey here, and the results of the survey are in.
00:00:16.920 So a total of 7,700 people participated in this poll.
00:00:21.660 And the question was, do you believe that Pierre Polyev should stay on as leader of the Conservative Party?
00:00:28.240 Well, 6,879 people voted yes, only 846 people voted no.
00:00:34.380 So 89% approval rating from our poll in the few days after the election for Pierre Polyev.
00:00:41.320 That's a pretty resounding yes.
00:00:43.420 So, you know, for all of the media's talks, I think there was a clip of Rosemary Barton challenging Conservative, former Premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney, saying that she's, a lot of her friends are saying that they want to,
00:00:55.280 a lot of conservative friends apparently she has, say that they want Polyev to step down.
00:00:59.820 I guess she's talking to those 11%. 1.00
00:01:02.340 Mario, what do you, what do you make of this?
00:01:04.780 I haven't seen, honestly, I think any major, you know, honestly person really come out and saying he needs to be replaced.
00:01:14.320 Everyone is so happy with him.
00:01:16.100 I think his whole team is happy with him.
00:01:17.900 All I saw was nothing but support from the MPs and the MPs elect that didn't maybe get elected into their riding, but they are all behind Pierre Polyev, including myself.
00:01:30.420 I think he did a phenomenal job.
00:01:32.880 I think he did absolutely great.
00:01:34.560 And we have this uphill battle to fight.
00:01:37.840 And the big uphill battle, the biggest of them all was, you know, Donald Trump and the tariffs.
00:01:43.480 And it wasn't necessarily about the reaction.
00:01:46.180 I truly believe it's more has to do with the fact that it's very similar to what happened in Australia.
00:01:52.360 And, you know, if you dig into Australia, I believe their version of the Liberal Party won a majority and they won in a massive landslide because the person, the opposition, the Conservative Party was talking about, you know, deportation.
00:02:09.280 They're talking about all these other things.
00:02:11.000 And to them, they're like, oh, wow, that sounds very Trump.
00:02:14.140 That sounds a lot like Trump.
00:02:15.080 And we have the tariffs.
00:02:16.140 No, no, no, we can't have that.
00:02:17.420 That's literally what happened in Canada.
00:02:20.060 Except, you know, I think this is the first time in nearly 100 years where two parties got more than 40% of the popular vote.
00:02:27.040 And so I think that is very, very encouraging.
00:02:30.300 And I think we are all kind of of the mindset and the understanding that in the next election, I think Pierre Polyev was going to be the next prime minister of Canada.
00:02:39.320 I completely agree.
00:02:41.080 Like, I think that there's always like, you know, hindsight is 20-20.
00:02:44.720 And so you can always look back and say things in the campaign.
00:02:46.940 Oh, I wish you had done this.
00:02:47.760 I wish you hadn't have said that.
00:02:48.980 But overall, when we're talking about a guy that got 41% of the vote, that would be enough to win any other election in the last two decades.
00:02:53.840 So it's not like he's done anything majorly wrong.
00:02:56.360 I'm almost hesitant to even criticize him about anything because it's like he massively increases his voter share.
00:03:01.960 He engaged young Canadians.
00:03:03.400 He engaged new Canadians.
00:03:04.320 I saw David Coletto was on CTV with Vassie Capellos talking about how second generation, like first and second generation, Canadians were more likely to vote conservative.
00:03:14.520 And that's what helped them in places like the 905. 0.99
00:03:17.220 And it was really just like brand new immigrants that were most likely to vote liberal, which is super interesting.
00:03:23.020 I want to tie this into the upcoming by-elections.
00:03:25.980 So we know that Alberta MP, conservative MP Damien Couric has announced that he will be resigning from his seat.
00:03:33.060 He just won in Battle River Crowfoot, which is too bad.
00:03:35.660 He seemed like a great sort of younger millennial conservative that got elected, an up-and-coming guy.
00:03:40.720 Unfortunately, you know, Pierre Paulyev needed a seat.
00:03:42.900 This is one thing that I was critical of him last week, Mario, the fact that he didn't win his own seat.
00:03:47.520 I think that's like for his campaign manager and for the people around him, that's kind of unforgivable, right?
00:03:52.640 It's like if they knew that the demographics were so different with the redrawing of the boundaries, they should have moved their candidate to a safer riding.
00:04:00.580 They should have done that two years ago.
00:04:02.140 And if it was winnable, they should have spent a lot more resources there.
00:04:06.280 Regardless, Pierre Paulyev is set to run in this riding Battle River Crowfoot.
00:04:11.220 So since Couric is stepping down, there will be a by-election.
00:04:14.220 We're told it's going to happen pretty soon.
00:04:16.320 And I want to just tie this all together because one of the other things that was super critical of,
00:04:20.780 and I know you were too on social media, was this thing called the Longest Ballot Initiative
00:04:24.460 where they just put hundreds of names on the ballot to try to just confuse Canadians,
00:04:29.340 like to a normal average Canadian who doesn't know much about politics.
00:04:32.080 They show up to vote and there's like a hundred names on the ballot.
00:04:34.820 It's really confusing.
00:04:35.900 Most people don't, you know, politicians' names aren't necessarily household names to people, right?
00:04:39.780 So they might just go, I'm going to vote for the conservative guy.
00:04:42.200 And then you go and you can't remember his name.
00:04:43.740 And it's just like it's designed to sort of harm – I know this sounds bad,
00:04:48.540 but like it's designed to harm kind of like low-information voters or like low-intelligence Canadians
00:04:53.800 or like new Canadians that might not speak English or understand the democratic process.
00:04:57.240 Like it's designed to kind of pick off the weakest ones.
00:05:01.060 And the fact that it's able to continue is so outrageous.
00:05:04.020 So these people have announced that they are looking to do it again.
00:05:07.560 In an email to their supporters of the Longest Ballot Committee,
00:05:09.800 so that it was hoping to add over 200 names to Pierre Polyev's by-election ballot in Battle River Crowfoot.
00:05:17.300 And again, like I just – I don't understand why this is possible.
00:05:20.220 I know you've been critical of it as well.
00:05:22.320 So what's your take on all this?
00:05:24.720 I think it's a mockery of our system.
00:05:27.260 It's literally the biggest slap in the face to all Canadians that they can do this 1.00
00:05:32.420 and that they're allowing this to happen.
00:05:34.440 And they know that the intent is zero intent of actually getting election – of these people actually getting elected.
00:05:41.200 It is election interference.
00:05:43.700 And there's no question about it.
00:05:46.880 And, you know, someone sent me a message privately and they said,
00:05:50.460 Mario, I think there's a way to potentially stop this.
00:05:54.080 We could sue them.
00:05:56.020 And you could sue them because there's going to be people who are actually blind.
00:05:59.880 And I guarantee if you show up at, you know, certain writings, are they going to have all of these done in Braille?
00:06:05.340 And he's like, I think not.
00:06:07.160 And so that's creating a problem, not only for people who are blind, but also the elderly who maybe can't see.
00:06:13.140 And so they were basically discussing, you know, conducting litigation against the group
00:06:18.580 and against Elections Canada on how this could basically be discriminatory against those at-risk groups.
00:06:27.320 And I think the logic behind it is sound.
00:06:30.680 I reached out to an attorney that's a constitutional one to get their two cents on it.
00:06:36.900 Like, is there some validity in this?
00:06:39.280 And I, you know, I did a quick poll yesterday.
00:06:41.720 I haven't had a chance to look at the results, but I think it's going to be a resounding, like 90% people are going to be in on it.
00:06:48.940 But some of the initial comments and the polling was, should we do a GoFundMe, file a lawsuit?
00:06:55.600 And the overwhelming answer is yes.
00:06:58.180 People want to fund it.
00:06:59.840 And I said, you know, I'll start it off with a couple of grand.
00:07:02.400 I will throw in a few grand and let's get this thing going and actually file a lawsuit. 1.00
00:07:06.780 Because this mantis needs to end and there needs to be repercussions for these types of actions.
00:07:13.260 And these actions are nefarious in nature and completely done with ill intent.
00:07:18.740 And they even came out and said, we declare victory.
00:07:23.700 Like what we did in Carleton, we feel, you know, victorious.
00:07:30.260 And they actually took credit for it.
00:07:32.420 And then so here they are saying, sending out an email saying, hey, we want 200 people now.
00:07:36.200 And my whole thing is like, okay, cool.
00:07:38.280 You do this.
00:07:39.300 I'm going to get a thousand for Nepean.
00:07:42.660 Some say the bubbles in an aero truffle piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth.
00:07:47.260 Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light.
00:07:50.940 Rich, creamy, chocolatey aero truffle.
00:07:53.780 Feel the aero bubbles melt.
00:07:55.800 It's mind bubbling.
00:07:57.700 And then at what point does it end?
00:07:59.040 And I can guarantee, I can rally enough people, enough volunteers in Nepean and through Canada to make it happen where we do it to Mark Carney.
00:08:08.460 And then we are going to, and then I'm going to look like the bad guy, but it's going to be completely hypocritical.
00:08:13.200 If they do 200, I'm going to aim for a thousand.
00:08:15.540 I mean, that's the thing about the left is that they know that, you know, we could do that, but we won't because we respect the rules too much.
00:08:21.200 And I'm for like a lawsuit against them.
00:08:23.640 I just, to me, I looked up the rules and basically in order to get on the ballot, you have to have 100 signatures, right?
00:08:29.620 And so it seems to me a pretty straightforward change Elections Canada could make.
00:08:33.720 I read on Twitter, someone, a whistleblower also saying that Elections Canada was warned about this well in advance.
00:08:39.640 They could have changed the rules in time.
00:08:41.480 Same with the by-election, right?
00:08:42.400 I mean, the by-election could happen any, it could be announced in the next two weeks.
00:08:45.800 So maybe they don't have time to change the rules, but why not just make it 100 unique signatures, right?
00:08:50.540 Like once someone signs for one person, because basically the idea is I think they probably have about 100 people that are part of this group.
00:08:57.060 And so they all sign each other's and they use their names recycled over and over and over again.
00:09:01.160 And so if it was just once you sign one person's nomination paper, you cannot sign another person's, then that would stop this because they just won't be able to get enough people.
00:09:09.440 Maybe in a place like Ottawa, but certainly not out in Alberta.
00:09:12.580 Another idea is if you can have 100 people to sign your nomination papers to get on the ballot, you have to have at least 100 votes, right?
00:09:20.140 When you go through the candidates in Carleton, most of them got fewer than 100 votes, which makes you think, how can you get 100 signatures to vouch for you to be on the ballot, but you can't even muster up 100 votes?
00:09:32.960 If they don't get the 100, they should get fined.
00:09:35.100 Slap them with a huge fine because that is election interference.
00:09:37.840 It's manipulation.
00:09:38.680 It's mischief.
00:09:39.240 If they were faced with a potential $5,000 fine, Mario, I guarantee this would stop.
00:09:44.300 Like, they wouldn't do it.
00:09:45.360 And you can go back and look, and I think there was at least 20, maybe 30 people who got fewer than that 100.
00:09:50.840 If all those people were stopped with a $5,000 fine, this would never happen again.
00:09:54.660 So there are things like legal mechanisms that could very easily be taken, but the fact that they don't, it just, I totally agree.
00:10:00.560 It makes Canada seem like a joke, like our elections are not secure, and it really undermines public trust, like in the entire integrity of the election.
00:10:09.100 And I just wanted to add one thing too.
00:10:11.240 I don't know if people realize this, but all the candidates had one registered agent.
00:10:15.900 They were all registered by one person, and it was the same person.
00:10:20.900 And so, I don't know, why don't you place a limit of two, five?
00:10:24.980 Like, why 90?
00:10:26.860 Why 50 even?
00:10:27.860 Why 25?
00:10:29.480 Like, you don't need to have one person register.
00:10:32.660 Like, create some sort of boundaries in place where people can actually respect it.
00:10:38.180 And I think money is always a great deterrent.
00:10:41.420 Money is always a great deterrent.
00:10:42.520 Like, maybe, you know, if you do, if you register more than one, then that, that, the amount that you then have to pay for subsequent one goes up to $5,000.
00:10:51.420 Then if you go past 10, maybe it's 10,000, maybe it's 20,000 per.
00:10:54.980 And so, there needs to be some sort of, like, scale system or whatever the mechanisms are, it's an easy way to resolve.
00:11:03.160 There's solutions.
00:11:04.400 And especially if they knew about it for quite some time.
00:11:06.280 I just find the whole thing ridiculous.
00:11:08.360 Yeah, it's interesting.
00:11:09.160 Like, there are certain things in Canada that you can tell our political system is built upon trust.
00:11:13.460 Like, there's a great deal of, like, honor and trust built into our system.
00:11:17.960 And you can just see that in 2025, like, you can't really go by that anymore.
00:11:20.980 There are so many disarmable people.
00:11:22.220 There are so many scoundrels out there that just don't uphold that value in public office and in our elections that you actually need more rules and more laws.
00:11:30.780 You know, we're talking about how Pierre Polyev has a resounding support of his party, about how 89 percent, according to our Joe News poll, believe that he should stay on as leader.
00:11:40.240 There are a few things that we were critical.
00:11:42.240 I did a show last week with Wyatt Claypool where we just kind of, you know, suddenly, again, the guy got 41.5 percent of the vote.
00:11:48.500 He did really well.
00:11:49.260 A couple of things that we wish he would have done differently and some sort of free advice for the future.
00:11:54.280 One of the things we did talk about was his refusal to go on some of these big American podcasts.
00:11:59.640 I'm not one that believes that he should have gone on every single one.
00:12:02.380 But I do think that Joe Rogan might be an exception.
00:12:04.700 Joe Rogan sort of pushes through the political world and into the cultural space.
00:12:08.400 And he's just such a like he's such a force.
00:12:12.660 It's such a big show.
00:12:13.740 He's such a well-known commodity.
00:12:15.020 Like he has been doing this for over a decade now.
00:12:18.060 And I just so Joe Rogan, speaking of Joe Rogan experience yesterday, he revealed that he did invite Pierre Polyev on his show and he declined.
00:12:28.720 I don't know if it was Polyev himself or his campaign team and his advisors.
00:12:32.340 I just want to play this quick clip and then I'll get your reaction, Mario.
00:12:35.360 So I offered to have that Pierre guy come on the podcast.
00:12:38.960 Really?
00:12:39.260 He didn't do it.
00:12:40.020 Wouldn't do it.
00:12:40.680 Thought it was too problematic or whatever.
00:12:43.320 Jordan told me.
00:12:44.040 I forget what he said.
00:12:44.980 But they were telling him not to do it.
00:12:46.820 Like his advisors were telling him not to do it.
00:12:49.340 So I think maybe look, I would have liked to see Pierre go on Joe Rogan like six months ago or three months ago.
00:12:54.540 Kind of capitalize on his popularity.
00:12:57.440 I can see how like in the final week of the campaign, you might not want to do it just because you want to be seen as being in Canada.
00:13:02.720 But to me, again, Joe Rogan is like that's where you're going to find the sort of like young men, young Canadian men and women like so many more people watch Joe Rogan than like any other show combined.
00:13:15.820 And if Pierre could have gone on there and been relaxed and been laid back and shown the other side of himself that we've seen, but that wasn't breaking through to the legacy media, I think it could have helped him.
00:13:26.720 What do you think?
00:13:27.180 I think it's a timing issue.
00:13:29.580 I think I think you're right.
00:13:30.720 If he did it six months ago, it would have gone over well.
00:13:34.020 If he did it three months ago or even two months ago or even a month ago during the election or when we knew the election was happening and Trump implemented the tariffs, I think the liberals would have had a majority.
00:13:45.340 I think mainstream media would have weaponized it to the nth degree.
00:13:48.880 They would have used this on ads.
00:13:50.640 Uh, there's so many hate and misinformation as that happened from, uh, illegal actors that weren't registered as third parties with elections Canada.
00:13:58.540 Most people don't realize is that you can actually run hate ads and, you know, basically what I think are misinformation ads against the public.
00:14:05.160 I think you can, but I think it would have happened to such a great deal where they will say, look, the same guy that endorsed Donald Trump is now endorsing Pierre Polyev and Pierre Polyev was on a U S podcast.
00:14:15.260 I think anything, I think the overall sentiment in Canada is anything that relays or anything that promotes or even supports the U S in any way, shape or form is bad.
00:14:27.660 Even, I think even in the, I would say midline conservatives or people who are in the middle, maybe not far left, not far right.
00:14:34.160 Well, I mean, obviously the far left is going to attack it, but I think it would have done a lot of damage if he did that.
00:14:39.660 And I've always been a believer that there's a lot more damage.
00:14:44.700 I would have been done in a perfect example is I went on vacation to Florida.
00:14:48.380 I got ripped to pieces for being in Florida.
00:14:50.940 Like, how dare I go to Florida?
00:14:52.800 And the amount of commentary, like, you know, I'm a conservative, I'm a supporter.
00:14:57.340 How dare you?
00:14:58.060 And it was just the end of the world for me to be there.
00:15:00.520 So for Pierre Polyev to be on the Joe Rogan podcast, I honestly think it would have been a disaster.
00:15:06.420 And again, it just ties into this whole, um, hysteria against, you know, anything America, anything U S anything, um, Trump, anything that is remotely tied to Trump, which, you know, by and large is going to include, um, Joe Rogan.
00:15:22.400 And I think I remember seeing ads being like, oh, look, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk endorsed, uh, Pierre Polyev, you know, this is so bad.
00:15:29.560 He's just like Trump and that that's literally the narrative that, that, that happens, which affects the audience that comes out in mass numbers, which are the 55 and plus, which predominantly voted liberal.
00:15:43.500 I think it would have been much, much worse.
00:15:46.740 It kind of shows that we still have our work cut out for us here in Canada, right?
00:15:50.140 It's like, I felt good about the election.
00:15:51.780 I felt like independent media and independent journalists across social media really grew, really expanded.
00:15:58.240 We did have an influence.
00:15:59.440 I read the stats on the show yesterday.
00:16:01.040 Our videos got viewed 14.22 million times.
00:16:03.620 Our website got visited over 9 million times.
00:16:05.640 Like we, we broke 413 stories during the campaign.
00:16:08.920 Like we were pushing the needle.
00:16:10.460 We were having influence, but I think you're right.
00:16:13.000 Like the idea behind going on Joe Rogan is that you push past the commentary and you just go meet the people where they are and go talk directly to them.
00:16:20.720 But even if the, even if the podcast got viewed like 10 million times, right, how many times would those clips get viewed on CBC to the key swing voters in the handful of writings in Ontario that determined the election and how many of those people would have been scared?
00:16:36.120 Like it only takes a few hundred or maybe a thousand, you know, middle-aged voters to be like, oh, no, he, he really is like Trump.
00:16:43.520 Oh, look, he's, he's going on the same podcast as Trump did.
00:16:46.500 And this is like an American right-wing thing that you're right, that I do think it could have gone badly.
00:16:52.760 I would like to say that I would have liked to see him on and maybe, maybe in the next election cycle when the CBC has less influence or in the future, I'm so optimistic that we're, we're gaining ground.
00:17:01.420 Okay.
00:17:01.540 I want to switch it back to Mark Carney because it's not just about Polyev.
00:17:05.460 Mark Carney has some really questionable associates.
00:17:07.940 This stuff didn't really come up during the campaign.
00:17:09.960 I mean, I know it did a little bit in the independent side and Ezra Levant from the Rebel News was running for Canada.
00:17:16.000 And they were really pushing this idea that like, why is Mark Carney getting away with his friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell?
00:17:22.260 You know, she's a convicted sex criminal and child trafficker, basically, who worked very closely with predator Jeffrey Epstein.
00:17:29.980 Also, news came out that Mark Carney had also a questionable friendship with Prince Andrew.
00:17:37.460 He now faces questions over this dinner that he had with Prince Andrew.
00:17:42.400 He was hosted at Buckingham Palace while he was the governor of the Bank of England.
00:17:47.340 Likewise, Mike Myers, right?
00:17:48.900 Mike Myers was a pretty predominant part of the beginning of the campaign, the campaign launch for Mark Carney.
00:17:52.860 This idea that this American celebrity that's sort of known as being Mr. Canada, Mike Myers, sort of beloved by the boomer crowd, I guess, you know, not the boomers that are watching my show, but like the liberal boomers, I guess.
00:18:05.620 Well, this story came out.
00:18:06.880 It was kind of shocking that Mike Myers may be the first celebrity named in the Diddy trial, another accused, you know, sex criminal, again, with minors.
00:18:19.520 Like, it seems like there's a lot of really kind of shocking and very, very, I would say, creepy people who live in these high circles, these high society circles, whether it be Hollywood or, I guess, you know, financial, high financial circles in New York and London, you know, the royals in London.
00:18:40.380 It seems like Mark Carney is a part of a lot of these circles.
00:18:43.340 And there's a lot of people being exposed for just absolutely predatory behavior, including with children.
00:18:48.280 The fact that Mike Myers is named in the Diddy trial is really concerning to me.
00:18:52.880 And then the fact that just recently Carney chose to associate with him.
00:18:56.480 I don't know if he knew that this was coming, but it really, again, you know, the legacy media has no interest in this stuff.
00:19:02.840 They'll never cover this stuff.
00:19:04.360 But I think Canadians are rightly like a little bit disturbed by it. 1.00
00:19:08.100 What do you think?
00:19:09.660 Yeah.
00:19:09.820 I mean, I, it's interesting because when you bring up the Maxwell Epstein situation, mainstream media would not touch it.
00:19:17.780 No, they would not touch it.
00:19:19.380 They would not talk about it.
00:19:20.660 I think he was maybe asked about it once.
00:19:23.560 I don't even think he was.
00:19:24.920 I don't have a memory of him directly being asked about this or the story even running.
00:19:29.700 It was almost like this was like AI or some sort of conspiracy theories.
00:19:32.940 The only people that were talking about it were independent media and people like myself.
00:19:37.760 And obviously it was very concerning because, I mean, if I could guess the views just on that topic alone, it had to have been over 50 to 100 million views at minimum.
00:19:45.940 Um, and there still is concern because people are still bringing it up and he still has not addressed it head on, um, for the Buckingham palace.
00:19:54.400 That one's actually concerned.
00:19:55.540 It's more, I believe it was more than one dinner.
00:19:57.940 I, I, from my understanding is, um, there was multiple dinners that were had that, um, Prince Andrew would host and he would host, uh, people like Mark Carney and I think other, you know, bankers are influential, but I thought it was several dozen.
00:20:12.260 Like it was quite a bit and he, he said that they were actually parties.
00:20:16.980 And so those are things that, you know, obviously are concerned because we don't know what it was, right?
00:20:22.920 It could have been this kind of big boys club that who knows what they're doing at any given point in time, but there are these odd connections.
00:20:30.520 The Mike Myers, I don't know much details about it other than I think they asked the jurors, like, you know, do you know who Mike Myers is?
00:20:38.020 And obviously, you know, he was one of the biggest endorses, endorsers of, uh, Mark Carney during the election.
00:20:44.180 And so I think these are all very real and valid questions that people have that I think it would just be so simple to just address head on.
00:20:50.900 And I, I don't understand why media needs to shy away from it.
00:20:53.620 It's not a conspiracy theory.
00:20:55.100 No, this is a daily, the daily mail, which is one of the biggest UK newspapers.
00:20:58.320 I read the headline right here.
00:20:59.860 Mike Myers and Michael B. Jordan are first celebrities named in Diddy trial.
00:21:04.060 The first two celebrities to be named in the Diddy trial were Mike Myers, Jordan, and Michael B. Jordan.
00:21:08.940 Their names were read out to a potential juror, jury from a list of people and places that may come up throughout the trial.
00:21:15.840 So that's a fact.
00:21:16.840 Those were the first names, the first people named.
00:21:19.000 So, like, I don't know.
00:21:20.900 I don't, maybe there's no smoking gun.
00:21:22.120 Maybe it's just a coincidence.
00:21:23.060 Maybe he's on trial for some other reason.
00:21:24.720 I'm just saying that, like, there's no curiosity in the legacy media, right?
00:21:28.180 Like, we can now link Mark Carney, our prime minister, to some of the biggest sex trafficking and child abuse stories of our time, of our lifetime, of the century, right?
00:21:40.100 Whether it's Jeffrey Epstein, whether it's Diddy, even the story that we broke earlier in the campaign, Mario, on the Tavistock clinic, notorious for abusing children.
00:21:50.160 And Mark Carney's own daughter went there for therapy, right?
00:21:52.720 So, like, we have him linked to these incredibly nefarious world events, and the media is like, not only are they just totally disinterested in it, they actually actively play defense for the prime minister, coming after people like me, coming after people like you for daring to even, for even noticing this stuff.
00:22:10.340 I mean, it's almost a tired game to play.
00:22:12.860 But, like, could you imagine if Pierre Polyev was linked to any of this stuff or linked to any kind of known child predator?
00:22:20.360 It would be an unrelenting news story that would destroy his career.
00:22:24.540 We know that because it's happened before, right?
00:22:26.880 But when it's Mark Carney, this, like, liberal, they just, they will not allow anyone to talk about it.
00:22:35.000 I agree.
00:22:35.440 I think it's deeply concerning, and I think this is just the, what I keep saying is the hypocrisy of mainstream media, and I've been very, very vocal in my disdain for them.
00:22:45.220 I actually, I've been asked by, you know, CBC to do an interview.
00:22:48.700 I just ignore it.
00:22:49.540 I don't do interviews with them anymore, because what they'll do is they'll take portions of what I say.
00:22:54.740 I could say, you know, Mark Carney's, you know, great at international policy, and then they'll stop it there.
00:23:02.040 See, you know, the biggest, you know, the biggest, you know, the person with the most criticism against Mark Carney's promoting him now.
00:23:11.000 See, he's the greatest.
00:23:11.780 And that's literally what they will publish, but they won't publish the other half that says his domestic policy is awful.
00:23:17.560 Our problems are all domestic.
00:23:19.180 It's not international.
00:23:20.240 Right now, it's Trump.
00:23:21.440 That's a temporary measure of a four-year term, but a big problem.
00:23:24.380 Like, I can elaborate so much more, but they will cut off every other piece.
00:23:28.400 And that has always been my consistent experience with mainstream media, and I always tell people that you have to take everything with a grain of salt because there's always more to the story.
00:23:39.440 And I find that there's this new wave of, you know, citizen journalism, independent media that is taking such a stronghold.
00:23:47.420 And I think it's for the exact same reason why, and I think you and I briefly discussed it, you know, offline, but, you know, why Fox News is now significantly bigger in viewership than CNN or NBC.
00:23:59.420 People have completely lost trust in what they say.
00:24:02.180 And when you give people so much propaganda, especially when it is state-sponsored propaganda, and they are getting billions of dollars, and Mark Carney saying, we're going to give them more money because we need to fight disinformation.
00:24:14.200 Like, what?
00:24:15.560 It is the most unbelievable thing in the world.
00:24:17.760 Like, the CBC, people don't realize that CBC's funding, I think, is more than 2x of CSIS.
00:24:23.440 Imagine, just hypothetically speaking, that Fox News got twice the budget that the CIA gets.
00:24:29.840 That would make international headlines.
00:24:32.840 Like, what on earth are we doing?
00:24:34.740 We're not a serious country at this point, and no one would respect America.
00:24:39.020 We care more about pushing propaganda and brainwashing Canadians than we do about the actual physical safety of Canadians and ensuring that there aren't, like, foreign actors interfering in our country.
00:24:48.640 Wow.
00:24:49.060 I mean, that really spells it out better than just about anything else.
00:24:52.600 All right, Mario, thanks for your time.
00:24:54.080 We really appreciate you coming on the podcast, and we hope to see you again soon.
