00:00:41.760 Juno News. So pleased to invite and welcome our guests on today's program, one of my favorite

00:00:46.400 guests here on The Candice Malcolm Show, talking about Wyatt Claypool. Wyatt is a political commentator

00:00:50.520 and the founder of the National Telegraph and I wanted to bring him in to go through some of the

00:00:55.280 big stories of the day with me. So Wyatt, welcome to the show. Great to see you.

00:00:59.560 Well, thanks for having me on. Yeah, we're into the fall legislative season, so now everything's

00:01:04.520 popping loose again and, you know, it always sucks to get through a summer when nothing's going on

00:01:09.060 and you still have to do a show every day. Well, for me, I care a lot more about the cultural issues.

00:01:14.260 So I'm here for the culture stuff and the political, like, day in and day out. Look, I worked in Ottawa

00:01:19.460 not for very long. I didn't last very long as a political staffer, but question period. It's fun,

00:01:24.800 especially to see someone like Pierre Polyev sort of back in his groove and grilling the

00:01:29.480 liberal government. But I'm not one of those people that lives and dies by the parliamentary

00:01:34.400 schedule. But there is one story that I heard so many people in the audience wanting us to cover,

00:01:39.220 and I'm talking about the ostrich farm out in British Columbia. So I'm going to walk you through

00:01:44.040 the story here and then I'm going to get you to comment on it, Wyatt. So back in December 2024,

00:01:48.680 a strain of avian flu struck the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, British Columbia. So dozens of

00:01:54.380 birds died, but the result, the rest of the flock eventually recovered and they appeared to be

00:01:59.280 perfectly healthy. Now, despite this, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered more than 400

00:02:04.880 ostriches to be culled under its standard bird flu stamping out policies that want to kill all of the

00:02:11.260 ostriches. The farm owners challenged the cull order, leading to a lengthy court battle, which

00:02:15.960 eventually made its way to the Supreme Court of Canada. In early September, police began erecting hay

00:02:21.280 bales and restricting access around the ostrich pen. And so this started to sort of make the hay and

00:02:29.300 make a big deal on social media. And I saw big conservative and right-wing social media influencers

00:02:35.920 and journalists and people just really outraged about this. Like a pure example of outrageous

00:02:41.580 government overreach, totally unnecessarily going into someone's private property and ordering that

00:02:48.260 their flock be killed when it doesn't really seem like there was a good reason. So we have some good

00:02:53.480 news to report, which is that the Supreme Court has stayed the order. So they've put a pause on this

00:02:59.760 order to go and kill these ostriches. And so the Supreme Court stays ostrich cull in BC amid protests and

00:03:06.480 surprise interventions. The Supreme Court has temporarily halted the planned cull of hundreds of ostriches,

00:03:11.100 the world's largest living bird. A day earlier, RCMP officers called in by the CFIA to help keep the

00:03:18.420 peace during the cull, arrested the farm owners, Katie Pastelny and her mother, Karen, for allegedly

00:03:24.800 riling up protesters when trying to feed the birds. And I know that there was some kind of like,

00:03:31.800 people were unhappy that there wasn't more of a reaction from conservative leader, Pierre Polyev,

00:03:37.660 from the conservative party. We didn't really hear him say much about this. The local conservative

00:03:43.360 MP, however, MP Mel Arnold did speak out against this in parliament yesterday. So Wyatt, I'm just

00:03:50.100 curious, like, what do you make of this whole story? Do you think the conservatives should have

00:03:53.100 gotten more involved? Or do you think that they sort of, you know, kept their distance and that was

00:03:57.180 probably the best move? Yeah, I can't really say what motivates their hesitancy to jump on board this

00:04:02.500 one. I can all admit, though, that I haven't exactly been covering it myself, but that's more of just

00:04:07.440 because people like Dre Humphrey at Rebel News have been doing such a good job on the ground of

00:04:11.780 covering it. You know, it's one of those stories where it feels like it's hers at this point. I

00:04:15.500 don't want to step on her toes. But I think politicians should be calling this out. And it's not just

00:04:20.620 because do you care about the ostriches or not? It has to do with do you think that bureaucracy

00:04:26.420 needs to be reined in in Canada? Because this has really nothing to do with the ostriches. They have 0.95

00:04:32.140 had, they have had, like, scientists coming out, veterinary doctors, basically attesting to the fact

00:04:38.700 that these ostriches do not pose any risk after having recovered from the avian flu. They are in fact

00:04:44.360 being used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and testing of vaccines and whatnot because

00:04:51.240 of the ostrich eggs that they get and things in them. More complicated than I can understand. But this is

00:04:58.200 really just the bureaucracy, the cannabis food inspection agency, just basically trying to flex

00:05:04.000 its muscles and prove it can take these ostriches out because it has the power to. And that's pretty 0.94

00:05:09.080 much it. And so we've been in this standoff where the government will not test the birds. The government

00:05:15.040 will not justify why these birds need to be eliminated. They're just simply doing it because

00:05:20.200 they have jurisdiction.

00:05:21.120 Well, a hundred percent. And again, it just seems to me that for all the problems we have in our

00:05:27.360 country, right, all of the out of control crime stories that we report on here at Juneau News,

00:05:32.100 government bureaucracy, bloated, you know, the cost of government, the cost of debt, cost of borrowing,

00:05:37.180 our stagnant economy, out of control housing. I mean, you know all the issues, right? And it's like

00:05:41.280 this is what they're going to focus their time and attention, going to like a small family farm

00:05:45.820 and killing birds. To me, totally unnecessarily, totally inhumane. You know, I don't necessarily

00:05:52.460 think that this should be the top issue for the conservatives and for Pierre Polyev. But,

00:05:57.800 you know, it was really picking up online. People on the internet were really worked up about it on

00:06:01.740 social media. It could have been a big W for Pierre Polyev to show up there and say,

00:06:06.660 no, like, don't tread on me. Don't show up on my property and order my livestock to be killed.

00:06:12.340 And we're going to stand up for the family farmer. We're going to stand up for the little guy

00:06:15.740 for property rights and against massive government overreach could have been a victory. But I do also

00:06:20.900 understand that they have their own priorities. You mentioned, you know, the pharmaceutical

00:06:26.300 companies. And I want to talk a little bit about this Health Canada clash with President Trump over

00:06:33.040 the use of Tylenol during pregnancy. And so this is one of the things, like, the audience knows I'm a big

00:06:39.220 Maha person. I really am happy that RFKJ joined the Trump movement and the whole Make America 0.97

00:06:44.740 Healthy Again. I'm on board for it and I want it in Canada as well. And this just seems like one of

00:06:49.420 those reactionary things where Trump and RFK Jr. came out and said, you know, we're looking at

00:06:54.580 evidence that shows that pregnant women should not use Tylenol excessively and that there could be a

00:06:59.240 link to autism. And as soon as they did that, right, what does Health Canada do? They come out with the

00:07:04.880 exact opposite, like trying to just be reactionary and defiant, like, oh, we're the pure, true liberals

00:07:13.040 who believe the science. And whatever Trump says, we're going to say the exact opposite.

00:07:18.720 The only problem is, of course, that the medical community has been warning about the use of

00:07:23.880 Tylenol during pregnancy for years and years. And it's very easy to go back and look at the studies,

00:07:29.080 to go find, you know, a Johns Hopkins study in 2019 linking elevated risk of autism and ADHD

00:07:37.280 associated with pregnancy use of Tylenol, right? And you can look back to the same news outlets

00:07:45.220 that were mocking President Trump this week, go back four or five years, and they were also

00:07:49.480 publishing studies talking about how this was a risk. So here is what Health Canada said, basically,

00:07:55.100 that Tylenol is recommended for treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy. Health Canada

00:08:00.580 currently mandates that there is no conclusive evidence that using Tylenol as directed during

00:08:04.440 pregnancy causes autism or other neurodevelopment disorders. You know, you can look at a box of 0.66

00:08:09.060 Tylenol, and it will literally say not recommended during pregnancy or consult your doctor before use.

00:08:15.100 So it's just so weird that the Health Canada would come up with this, especially when you can

00:08:21.660 literally find expos and Twitter posts from Tylenol themselves saying, we actually don't recommend

00:08:27.180 that you take Tylenol during pregnancy. That was in 2017. And in 2019, they admitted, we've actually

00:08:32.900 never studied it. We have no idea whether it's safe or not, because we've never bothered to study it.

00:08:37.980 Wyatt, I'm going to get your thoughts on this. But first, I want to take a moment to thank one of our

00:08:42.400 sponsors on the show today. This is a campaign called Unsmoke. Look, folks, it's time to modernize

00:08:47.980 Canada's rules on nicotine. Alternatives to cigarettes like heated tobacco vaping products

00:08:51.940 and oral smokeless products don't burn tobacco or produce smoke. They aren't risk-free, but the

00:08:57.260 growing body of scientific evidence shows that they have the potential to be substantially less

00:09:01.320 harmful than smoking. Despite this, Canadians are banned access to critical information and even some

00:09:06.340 products. Nicotine pouches remain banned in convenience stores. And current laws ban communication

00:09:11.360 about the risks of these products compared to cigarettes. It's unbelievable. The evidence is here.

00:09:16.340 The tools exist. Canadians should have the freedom to know. You can learn more by visiting

00:09:20.180 unsmoke.ca. Okay, Wyatt, what do you make of the whole Tylenol autism connection?

00:09:27.500 Well, it's good that you never made it as a staffer back in the day, or else you would turn into the

00:09:32.880 sorts of people that work for Health Canada who probably just went to the shelf and bought a bottle

00:09:37.700 of Tylenol and say, well, of course Tylenol is good. And then they just read the back of it and all

00:09:41.660 the benefits. Oh, let's see, it reduces swelling and pain and all this stuff. Here's the thing.

00:09:47.400 It's not like anyone is trying to make conclusive concrete statements that Tylenol will give your

00:09:53.440 kid autism or that Tylenol will negatively affect your pregnancy. It's just in general better unless

00:09:59.080 you know concretely the opposite, that it's okay, that you should probably not be taking any supplements,

00:10:05.660 any medication that you don't need. That's probably good advice for anybody. Unless you absolutely need

00:10:11.580 something, you probably shouldn't be taking anything because it has just become a very overly

00:10:16.660 medicalized society where people need pills and people need treatments for everything when you

00:10:22.380 could probably just eat a healthier diet. And so what we have here is that we have people inside

00:10:28.460 the Canadian government demonstrating that they actually are not very good at their jobs in the

00:10:32.840 sense that when you're coming out and you're just saying the opposite of what the Americans are

00:10:36.120 saying, it's telling me that you guys don't actually do good work. If you have the time to sit

00:10:41.280 around basically just trying to fight cultural wars with RFK Jr. and the American, like, the health

00:10:49.980 and human services that RFK Jr. is running. And again, yeah, you mentioned it before, Tylenol has put

00:10:56.760 out multiple times that you shouldn't be taking this thing. And now you have all these TikTok videos

00:11:01.700 of, like, left-wing pregnant mothers taking Tylenol just to stick it to Donald Trump. It's kind of

00:11:09.460 sickening that people live their lives that way and they would actually, you know, play fast and

00:11:14.280 loose with their lives of their children just to dunk on someone on video. It's unbelievable. Okay,

00:11:19.480 I want to play this clip of President Donald Trump announcing that the FDA would issue warnings to

00:11:23.420 physicians recommending against one of the active ingredients in Tylenol during pregnancy. Let's play this

00:11:29.040 clip. Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk of autism. For this

00:11:40.760 reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically

00:11:47.180 necessary. So again, it's just like whatever Trump says, the exact opposite is what they believe. I found

00:11:54.240 this post on X to be unbelievably telling. I want to just show it. This is a banker that I follow named

00:12:01.400 John Lafarve. And he writes that the Tylenol story is a perfect case study that liberals will oppose

00:12:06.600 anything Trump supports no matter what. And also, you don't hate the mainstream media enough. I think

00:12:11.640 this could be like my mantra to live by. Like every time you just think that the mainstream media is

00:12:15.480 awful and you can't trust them at all, they stoop even lower and show that there's even more worthy

00:12:20.060 of your disdain. And so he shows again, here's Reuters, a mainstream credible news source in the

00:12:25.480 United States in November saying too much Tylenol in pregnancy could affect development. And then here

00:12:29.820 we have 12 years later, Trump links autism to Tylenol and vaccines. Claims not backed by science, right?

00:12:36.000 And then you have here's a John Hopkins study back in November 2019 saying exactly what President Trump

00:12:43.400 has said that taking it is associated with elevated risk for autism and ADHD. And then here he has

00:12:50.740 screenshots of nine different academic medical research publications just saying exactly that.

00:12:59.960 Like this is something that has been studied. The science is actually there. And yet, you know,

00:13:04.320 the legacy media, again, they're just reactive. I feel sorry for those women who get their information 0.86

00:13:09.900 from the legacy media. Look, I'll tell a personal anecdote. I've had four babies over the last decade

00:13:16.020 and I've been pregnant a lot. And I am very, very skeptical of what I will put in my body at the

00:13:20.880 time. I will read every label and yes, ask my doctor about it. And so I'm wary about taking Tylenol

00:13:25.700 because of that exact reason. And I knew that during my pregnancies, if I had a headache or I was

00:13:30.940 feeling pain, you know what I would do? I'd drink some water, have some tea, go for a walk, get some fresh

00:13:35.500 air. There's so many other things that you can do. Obviously, you know, some people do have like

00:13:39.820 worse instances of pain and they might need some kind of more pain treatment. But again, it's right

00:13:44.920 there on the label. I personally, during one of my pregnancies, Wyatt, I suffered from really bad

00:13:49.980 heartburn. And so my doctor prescribed heartburn medication for me and I took it. And, you know, it was

00:13:56.680 recommended by my doctor. During my next pregnancy, I started to get heartburn again. And I went back to

00:14:01.080 my doctor and said, could I get another prescription? And she was like, actually, the medicine that I gave

00:14:05.840 you is now banned because it was produced in China and they found carcinogenics in the medicine.

00:14:10.940 And we don't recommend you taking it. And like that spooked me because I'm like, I'm not taking

00:14:15.660 anything. Right. And it's like so many of these pharmaceutical companies, like you can't even

00:14:19.660 trust what you're taking. Right. And so I'm happy that we now have administration in Washington

00:14:24.480 that cares about this kind of thing and is worried about this kind of thing and is there to protect

00:14:27.920 the citizens and the people and not just Americans because Canadians can benefit from it as well.

00:14:32.600 So I'm happy for this. And to see the Canadian reaction, I mean, it's not surprising at all,

00:14:37.000 but it's just so pathetic. What do you think? 0.99

00:14:38.540 Well, just going back to the media element of it. And again, it's like the polish of the media 1.00

00:14:45.100 outlets does so much for them. Like all the media is, is basically glaze at this point. There's

00:14:50.260 really no substance there. When you actually take away the nice sets that people like Rosemary

00:14:55.480 Barton and David Cochran sit in and the very like well-established brands that places like the New

00:15:01.860 York Times occupies like a parasite, you know, a paper that actually used to be reputable.

00:15:06.880 All these people, when you take away all this, they're just Redditors effectively who ended up

00:15:11.080 getting themselves some sort of anchoring job or they work, you know, like as a writer, but they're

00:15:16.600 not, it's not like they, they put in the extra work and they're making calls and they're trying

00:15:21.180 to go directly to tile and all to see what they say. They, they wrote the story as soon as Donald

00:15:25.260 Trump, although the words left his mouth. Exactly. Well, here we go. Let's, uh, we've

00:15:29.880 got the receipts on the episode today, Wyatt. Here is a CBC news report from October, 2020,

00:15:35.020 warning that the grung body of scientific evidence suggests that prenatal exposure to things like

00:15:40.420 Tylenol might alter fetal development. Let's play that clip.

00:15:44.100 And medical health experts has released an important statement on pregnancy and pain medication.

00:15:49.400 It's part of a study in the British scientific journal, Nature, and here's what it does. It

00:15:54.340 cautions pregnant women about using acetaminophen, and that is the active ingredient in Tylenol.

00:16:01.180 The statement is backed by nearly 100 scientists and doctors from around the world. They insist

00:16:06.500 a higher level of caution is needed when pregnant people use fever and pain meds that contain

00:16:12.340 acetaminophen, including Tylenol. The authors don't have any new evidence showing the drug harms

00:16:18.280 a developing fetus, but their statement does say a growing body of experimental and epidemiological

00:16:23.520 research suggests that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen might alter fetal development,

00:16:28.940 which could in turn increase the risks of certain neurodevelopmental, reproductive,

00:16:34.100 and urogenital disorders. So this is funny. Actually, I noticed the first host there said

00:16:39.260 pregnant women, and I'm like, okay, I guess this is like pre-woke. And then the next one was like 1.00

00:16:43.040 pregnant people, right? And that's like, because again, heaven forbid you say pregnant ladies. 1.00

00:16:46.880 It has to be pregnant people. They have to be gender neutral or whatever. So that's the CBC 1.00

00:16:50.820 back when this was not a political issue and it was just an issue of science.

00:16:55.020 Compare that to this week, the CBC writes autism and Tylenol, what the science really says.

00:17:00.780 And they say health professionals around the world are disputing the Trump administration's

00:17:04.000 claims about autism and its potential causes. The established peer review research on autism

00:17:07.980 and its causes does not support either of these claims. So exactly the opposite of what they reported

00:17:12.540 back in 2020. Look, the point of this isn't to like shame any woman out there for taking too much

00:17:17.380 Tylenol and potentially be worried, but it's like people, you know, there has been an outrageous

00:17:21.760 growth in autism over the last 20 years. A lot of people will link it to the proliferation of the

00:17:27.240 vaccine schedule, which is wild, by the way. Like if you look back to when I was a kid and in the 90s,

00:17:32.760 the number of vaccines that were required was like four compared to what they want my children to get,

00:17:37.080 which is like, I don't know, 140. It's outrageous and insane. And so a lot of skepticism around that

00:17:44.280 issue. I'm not saying that there's any tie, but people want to know, they want to study it. Like,

00:17:48.740 where did this come from? Why is there this huge explosion in autism? And the Trump administration

00:17:53.500 is actually doing something, looking into it and saying, hey, you know, it's obviously a combination

00:17:57.780 of factors. It's obviously partially to do with, you know, something to do with the development of the

00:18:03.160 child, something to do with environment, something to do with the genes and some combination.

00:18:06.400 And so to say, well, maybe it is connected to excessive use of Tylenol during pregnancy,

00:18:12.000 then people can at least have that information and move forward. But politicization of this is

00:18:16.040 totally wild. What do you think, Wyatt? Well, and the pharmaceutical industry and the government

00:18:19.980 don't do themselves any favors. I'm not like an anti-pharma type person. The pharmaceutical industry

00:18:25.420 obviously has a lot more benefits than negatives over time, but every industry has lobbyists. And it feels

00:18:32.200 like over time that like what you're noting about the vaccine schedule. I also grew up in an era where

00:18:37.880 maybe I needed like three or four that were required and that was it. But with the rapid

00:18:42.060 expansion kind of just feels like, well, we can just in public policy say that people need 12 and,

00:18:47.720 you know, now you can charge three times what you used to when it comes to how many,

00:18:51.660 how much product you're able to sell over a decade to the new parents. And now they must be able to put

00:18:57.560 more tax money in, or they must put more of their own money in to get these different shots. And 0.77

00:19:01.860 maybe some of them work and some of them don't, but they're the main drivers of a lot of skepticism

00:19:07.980 because a lot of things just started feeling arbitrary over time. And then if you question

00:19:12.420 it, you get attacked when that, which doesn't feel honest. Well, a hundred percent. And you say,

00:19:17.580 you know, that overall you think the pharmaceutical companies are better than they are there.

00:19:22.480 They produce more good than harm. I was there with you, Wyatt, until COVID. And then that totally

00:19:26.960 just radicalized me. And now I have nothing but suspicion and I don't trust them. And it's sad

00:19:32.020 that I don't even trust my own family doctor because when she tells me that my infant baby

00:19:36.480 needs a COVID vaccine, I don't know that much about the other vaccines, but I know about the COVID

00:19:40.340 vaccine and there is no way that I would give it to a child. And so again, when they're recommending

00:19:46.280 that to me and they're recommending all these other hosts of vaccines that I don't know or don't

00:19:50.260 believe to be necessary, it really makes you skeptical. And so does something like this,

00:19:53.720 I pointed to tweets and X posts by the company Tylenol. Here it is, March 7th, 2017. We don't

00:20:01.420 actually recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thanks for taking the time to voice

00:20:05.760 your concerns. Another one from 2019 admitting that they've never tested their products on pregnant

00:20:12.500 ladies. While they've changed their mind and here they are issuing a statement in the follow-up of the

00:20:18.720 Trump administration's announcements, Tylenol, we stand with the science and we stand with you

00:20:23.340 and now they're saying that Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history and it is safe

00:20:28.040 to use as directed by expecting mothers, infants and children. There is no credible evidence linking

00:20:34.740 our product with autism. So they've changed their position, they've changed the science just in the

00:20:41.520 wake of the president. So again, it's putting politics ahead of the health of the people and I think

00:20:49.960 that that is the problem that so many people are concerned about. Okay, I have one more topic that

00:20:55.860 I want to talk to you about why, but first I have a quick word from our sponsors, Macamie College. So

00:22:00.120 in the description today. Check it out over at candicemalcolm.com slash Macamie. That's M-A-K-A-M-I.

00:22:07.940 Okay, so we're talking about President Trump and the reaction. I want to stay with this issue and

00:22:15.720 talk about what the Trump administration has done through an executive order listing Antifa

00:22:21.840 as a domestic terrorist group. So on Monday, President Trump signed an executive order which

00:22:26.820 designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Trump announced that last Wednesday

00:22:32.080 that his administration was preparing the order. Now, up here in Canada, the liberal government

00:22:36.920 remains silent on whether it will follow Trump's lead to label Antifa terrorists. We haven't heard

00:22:43.320 anything about that. And it's interesting because at the same time, what is in the news? Well,

00:22:50.040 the liberals are also silent on an Antifa-linked group here in Canada, the Anti-Hate Network,

00:22:56.020 which is funded in part through grants from the Trudeau government. And so, you know, we had court cases

00:23:02.740 and court papers that showed links between these two organizations. It's really, really interesting

00:23:09.340 to see how these sort of left, violent, radical, like left-wing groups, not only do they fly below

00:23:17.040 the radar, but they're actually being supported and promoted in some ways through government funding

00:23:23.700 and these organizations. What is your take on all this, Wyatt?

00:23:27.440 Well, yeah. And what you have with the Anti-Hate Network and other organizations like Press Progress,

00:23:33.780 not that Press Progress exactly has Antifa ties the way the Anti-Hate Network does, but what this ends

00:23:39.340 up being is kind of a, almost a siloed off, like a siloed off part of both the liberal government as well

00:23:48.920 as the media, where they can do a lot of the dirty work that those organizations, the mainstream media

00:23:54.240 and the liberal government cannot do. And there is a reason why, again, our government gives so much

00:23:59.420 money to the Anti-Hate Network every year, because while they're not fighting hate, when you actually

00:24:05.960 go through all the reporting that this organization does, yeah, they'll call out the occasional skinhead

00:24:10.940 here and there that nobody was on the side of and nobody thought was a good guy. But what it ends up

00:24:15.960 being is a narrative laundering organization in order to smear conservatives. The Anti-Hate Network,

00:24:21.580 led, I believe, still by Bernie Farber, effectively goes around using anti-anonymous Antifa accounts

00:24:28.520 online in order to collect information on people, oftentimes completely warped and twisted out of

00:24:34.240 context, in order to link normal conservatives with the very, very few fringe extremists around

00:24:40.800 Canada. You know, you've once been in the same room as somebody who's a racist, and he's like the one

00:24:46.340 racist in your small town, and they're going to make sure that they're connected back to you. 0.99

00:24:50.240 But the Anti-Hate Network and organizations like Press Progress give the media permission to then

00:24:56.320 smear you as like a sort of a second layer smear. That the Anti-Hate Network was the one who said the

00:25:02.500 defamatory things about you. And then the CBC just cites an expert who is from the Anti-Hate Network

00:25:08.260 saying that you're a terrible person. And so this has been, it's hurt a lot of careers in Canada over

00:25:13.440 time. Government-funded organization who could never pull a dollar in themselves if they actually had to do

00:25:19.360 it, going around basically trying to smear you through innuendo and very out-of-context associations.

00:25:27.440 Well, it's so true, right? Like these groups you mentioned, Press Progress, I don't even

00:25:31.220 usually acknowledge them. They do write pieces about True North, about Juno News. They even wrote a

00:25:35.840 piece about my husband and I full of nothing but lies and smears. And I don't bother acknowledging it

00:25:41.760 because I don't want to give them any more publicity. Like I don't want to send my audience over to their

00:25:45.860 page so that they get more page clips. But you're exactly right. Like they are working full time.

00:25:51.180 Like there are at least a dozen, if not more, journalists in Canada whose sole job is to try

00:25:56.820 to cancel conservatives, to try to cancel right-wingers, to say, look at how extreme they are,

00:26:00.680 to find like crazy guilt by association, six degrees of separation, and hit you with that smear that

00:26:06.940 you're far right and hope that someone in the legacy media will pick it up. And I think that it's time

00:26:12.420 for us to give them a dose of their own medicine, right? Like here you have the Anti-Hate Network,

00:26:17.800 an absolutely outrageous organization who has written about True North in the past. And I don't

00:26:23.060 even respond to their emails when they send them to me because they're just such liars.

00:26:26.860 But, you know, a small claims court accepted evidence that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network did

00:26:32.580 assist Antifa and the far left extremist group, which has been violent. And we know that they're

00:26:37.420 violent in Canada. We see them being violent. They were violent at Christie Pitts Park a couple of

00:26:41.360 weekends ago. They were violent at the Sean Foyte concert in Montreal where they threw a smoke bomb

00:26:46.380 in and they were out there waving an Antifa flag. You know, you have people like Doug Saunders in

00:26:51.640 the Globe and Mail gaslighting Canadians saying Antifa doesn't exist. It's not a real organization.

00:26:55.900 It's like a figment of their imagination. It's not true, right? We see their flags. We see them out.

00:27:00.520 We know exactly who they are and they are violent. And these groups sit here and try to pretend

00:27:05.180 that there's some problem with far-right violence in Canada. Like, I'm sorry, if I actually see evidence

00:27:11.080 of the far-right, when I think of the far-right, I think of Nazis and neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

00:27:15.860 And I don't see that in Canada. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. Maybe there's a few of them,

00:27:19.800 but I don't see it. I don't see it as a problem. I don't notice it online. It's not something that

00:27:24.060 I think of as a major problem in this country. I do see Antifa. Antifa is out there. They are violent.

00:27:29.680 And we are living through a dangerous time, a time of political violence. We saw Charlie Kirk,

00:27:35.000 the leader, one of the top conservative voices in the world, assassinated in the middle of a free

00:27:41.700 speech debate. And, you know, this is a problem. We see left-wing violence. It is exploding currently.

00:27:47.680 We saw an ICE facility get shot up the other day. You know, there was a shooting at an ABC affiliate

00:27:53.460 after the announcement that they were canceling Jimmy Kimmel's show, which has now been put on

00:27:57.040 the air. But there is a problem with left-wing violence. And I'm glad that it is being exposed.

00:28:02.920 I hope that the Canadian government will follow suit. And I just want to give the audience a quick

00:28:06.900 update because I covered this on the show last week. This is another example, right?

00:28:10.220 Press Progress wrote a hit piece about my husband and I. It was false. It was full of nonsense and lies.

00:28:15.740 And unfortunately, the Globe and Mail picked up some of that information and published it in a piece

00:28:22.080 about my husband. So my husband got a new job. He was named the CEO of Opendoor, which is a technology

00:28:28.360 company. And in the news write-up, this is a business reporter, right? This isn't an opinion

00:28:33.340 piece. This isn't Andrew Coyne, whatever. This is a business reporter. And the way that she wrote 0.98

00:28:40.880 about my husband and his new job, she classified us as part of the far right. And she wrote pieces

00:28:48.080 that quoted Press Progress. Well, I took it up with the editor of the Globe and Mail because I wasn't

00:28:52.880 happy about it. I thought it was outrageous. It was wrong. It was full of lies. I'm happy to report

00:28:57.080 that the Globe and Mail has issued a correction on that piece. So you can now see, here it is,

00:29:02.740 Shopify chief operating officer is leaving the company to join Opendoor Technologies. And there

00:29:08.580 is a long correction at the bottom. And so it says, editors know, an earlier version of this article

00:29:13.460 incorrectly stated that prior to his role at Shopify, Kazajatian served as a political staffer in

00:29:18.140 the Conservative Party under then Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. Mr. Jatian served as a

00:29:22.320 staffer for Mr. Kenney, a former Conservative MP, when he was Immigration Minister. The way that they

00:29:28.240 write this correction is truly outrageous. But they want you, they want to waste your time as much as

00:29:32.480 possible. So you don't. Yeah, they're just like trying to make it technical. Yeah, we basically

00:29:35.320 call them the extremists for no reason. Yeah. And then, and then it also says the article

00:29:39.020 incorrectly stated that Mr. Jatian co-founded the True North Media website with his wife, Candace

00:29:44.100 Malcolm. Mr. Jatian sits on the board of True North, a charity that connected to the

00:29:48.120 media website, which his wife started. So, I mean, I, like, I took issue with a lot in that

00:29:53.440 Global Mail report. There are five paragraphs that were just totally outrageous. And they issued,

00:29:57.880 you know, minor corrections here and there. But, you know, I'll still take it. They admitted that

00:30:03.660 they lied and that they were wrong. And don't, you know, don't go around quoting press progress

00:30:08.080 pieces, smearing my family and expect to get away with it. So I was happy at least that they issued

00:30:13.340 that correction. What do you, what do you make of the fact that press progress now gets quoted

00:30:18.660 by the Globe and Mail in a news piece by a business reporter?

00:30:23.300 Back when I was running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination, I got smeared by press

00:30:28.820 progress. And one of the people that used to smear me is now sitting as a sender. It's Dr. Christopher

00:30:34.780 Wells. And it's outrageous the kind of people that they will even cite as guests. Because I, at the time,

00:30:41.200 when they had sent me, like, a media request, hey, well, Wyatt, we're about to call you, like, 0.84

00:30:45.220 transphobic and that you hate gay people or whatever, I ended up just making a video in

00:30:50.280 response before their, before the time limit was even up. They only literally gave me three hours

00:30:55.460 to respond, by the way, which is super professional. When I've accused people, or I've gone after people

00:31:00.920 for really big stuff back in the day when I used to write, we would give two 48-hour periods of

00:31:06.980 notice. So that there was never a, we're not just getting somebody on an off hour, they're taking a

00:31:11.940 nap, and they didn't, weren't able to respond. But I went through the people they were citing as experts.

00:31:16.800 And these people are anti-Semitic, they're communists, they're extremely far left and in 0.93

00:31:21.700 favor of violence. And even some of the writers at Press Progress, like Steve Magusiak, I see, I, I, 0.83

00:31:28.040 if I type in his handle on X, and I just type in communism, you know, Israel, I'll just type in some 0.93

00:31:34.420 keywords, right? I could assume some far left person says some extremely concerning things.

00:31:39.420 And you'll see all these threads where it's like, deleted post, deleted post, deleted post,

00:31:42.460 and it's clearly only Steve's. And people are reacting to him, he's like, are you saying it was

00:31:46.000 good that people were shot, killed in the whole lot of more? Like, people are reacting to him

00:31:49.900 saying insane stuff. This person works for the organization who would smear you for just showing

00:31:55.100 up to an event that's, like, pushing for lower immigration, you know, that wants gender theory out

00:32:01.340 of schools. Right now, and this is part of it, you get some slightly more mainstream outlets who do

00:32:06.400 the same thing. So I help work with the 1BC party in British Columbia, and we've had one of our events

00:32:12.720 shut down in Penticton, because a local queer activist by their own, by their own, like, label,

00:32:19.900 has got a shutdown at one of the conference centers, and then we went to another one, and they

00:32:25.120 resisted all the pressure. And when that person who was running the second location we went to

00:32:31.340 leaked all the person's messages basically saying that we're racist and we're hateful,

00:32:35.180 that person said that we were, they were being doxxed. That none of their personal information

00:32:39.260 was released. Simply, this person whose name is Loki Boki, I'm not sure if that's a made-up name

00:32:44.560 or their actual born name, who knows. It's apparently doxxing for people to know they're going around

00:32:49.720 smearing people. And the Taiyi will report on 1BC and just call us extremists, well, because this

00:32:56.020 random activist said so. And that's, again, it goes back to the media are just a bunch of

00:33:01.820 Redditors with more polish. They have the thought process of a Reddit moderator, and just having a

00:33:08.160 nice website doesn't mean that it's well-researched. Oftentimes, it's just some random person said

00:33:13.380 something, they agree with them, so they printed it. Well, exactly. And this is what they do, and I

00:33:18.360 don't mean to, like, make it all about myself and my family, but I just think it's a perfect example

00:33:22.180 of how they launder a smear, right? So in this Globe and Mail article about my husband, this is

00:33:28.540 the game that they play. They say that Kaz, first of all, they incorrectly said that he was a staffer

00:33:34.580 for the Conservative Party. I read the correction. He wasn't. He worked for the minister, so he worked

00:33:38.200 in the government. Then it says that he gets the frequent attention for his association with True

00:33:43.720 North, and then basically they had said incorrectly that he was the founder of it, even though he

00:33:49.160 wasn't. But Press Progress pushes this idea that my husband started it, even though he didn't. I started

00:33:54.460 it, and I had proof, and that's why the Globe and Mail switched it back to saying that his wife started

00:33:58.440 it, not him. So Kaz is married to me. So that's one degree of separation. His wife started a company,

00:34:05.220 right? That company is called True North. And then it says, in 2024, True North published and subsequently

00:34:10.240 removed an interview with the founder of the Proud Boys, right? And then it says, public safety describes

00:34:16.520 the Proud Boys as a neo-fascist terrorist organization associated with white supremacist 0.60

00:34:20.360 ideology. So that's two more degrees of separation, right? So Kaz is married to me. I started an

00:34:25.660 organization. A journalist at my organization sat down and did an interview with Gavin McInnes.

00:34:31.160 Gavin McInnes then left the Proud Boys, and after he left the organization, it got designated as a

00:34:36.840 terrorist group. So to go from Kaz to Candace, down to one of my journalists, across to Gavin McInnes,

00:34:42.500 and then from Gavin, an organization that he's no longer affiliated with. That's five degrees of separation.

00:34:46.340 It wasn't like he left, and then the day after they were designated as a terrorist organization.

00:34:49.880 It's like, years later.

00:34:50.340 It's like, five years later.

00:34:51.280 Five years beforehand, because it was just a joke group he started, and then he left when he started

00:34:56.720 doing other media stuff, and then it turned into something else. And again, it's hilarious that we

00:35:01.380 cannot label Antifa as a terrorist group, but we label the Proud Boys. You know, I'm not exactly a fan of the

00:35:08.000 things that Proud Boys do, but they only really engage in street violence with Antifa. They don't

00:35:15.180 go around trying to, like, you know, pick over tables and blare horns when a left-wing speaker

00:35:19.640 shows up. They mostly just...

00:35:22.000 They don't firebomb, like, churches or the left-wing equivalent, right? They don't firebomb

00:35:25.580 university campuses, right?

00:35:26.780 Yeah, they don't shoot up ICE offices.

00:35:29.000 Right, right. So all that's to say, like, I don't like Gavin McInnes. I don't like Proud Boys.

00:35:33.520 The other caveat that I mentioned to the Globe and Mail was that that interview was published a few days

00:35:38.120 after my child was born, and so I was, like, on a maternity leave. So I wasn't actually, like, running

00:35:42.800 the organization at the time. They didn't care, right? It was all just part of a smear. And so it's like,

00:35:46.940 you know, my husband gets a new job, the Globe and Mail's writing about it, and they think that their audience,

00:35:50.760 like, the most important thing that they need to know about Kaz, who's running this company,

00:35:55.900 is that his wife's company had a journalist that sat down with someone who had, at some point previously

00:36:01.520 in their career, done this. And the funny thing is that the Globe and Mail also interviewed Gavin

00:36:05.180 McInnes, right? The CBC also sat down with an interview with Gavin McInnes, like, the same

00:36:09.680 month that one of our journalists at True North did. So it's like, somehow it's okay for them to do it

00:36:14.180 and not for us. It is so outrageous how they put a target on our back, and I'm going to just tie this

00:36:19.140 back, and then we'll wrap this up, Wyatt. Tie it back to Charlie Kirk, right? Because part of the

00:36:24.720 reason that he was assassinated is because the media did this to him, right? The media called him

00:36:28.780 a far left, or sorry, far right. They called him a Nazi. They called him a fascist. They were okay

00:36:33.300 with pushing that idea, which put a target on his back, ultimately, that ended in the tragic loss of

00:36:37.920 his life, right? The unfathomable, cold-blooded murder during a political event, during a university

00:36:44.360 debate, right? And so this is the outcome of what they do, right? They put targets on our backs. They

00:36:49.080 use outrageous smears to describe us, and crazy people out there listen and take it seriously, and I just

00:36:54.640 think it's so reckless that they do this kind of thing. I'm glad that it's getting exposed.

00:36:58.260 I'm glad that some editor over there at the Globe and Mail was like, yeah, we probably shouldn't

00:37:02.060 just peddle this total lie from Press Progress in our paper, which we pretend to be prestigious and

00:37:07.780 like the paper of record. And I'm happy, at least, but I think we still need to call it out and tell

00:37:13.620 people how outrageous it is that conservatives, and again, it's not just me and my husband. This is

00:37:18.000 an example, but Press Progress does this every day. They do it to you, Wyatt. They do it to conservative

00:37:21.980 MPs. They do it to Pierre Polly all the time. They call him far right. They peddle these dangerous

00:37:27.620 terms, and it's not good for anybody, and I hope that it leads to them losing their credibility.

00:37:33.760 Last thoughts on this.

00:37:35.420 I hate the equivalency that people will create between, you know, a conservative saying someone's

00:37:41.660 a socialist or a communist here and there when they don't like a policy from someone, and then 0.96

00:37:46.280 the left relentlessly calling people far right, you're a Nazi, you're a fascist. And it's not just 0.73

00:37:51.680 they throw, you know, they don't like saying he did, and ah, he's such a fascist. And then they 0.75

00:37:55.200 move on, they don't repeat that. It'll be repeated every day. He's a danger. He has to be stopped.

00:37:59.880 And it's constantly this, where on the right, you sometimes jab people, you sometimes put

00:38:04.480 maybe an unkind label, but it doesn't go past that. It doesn't become the eyes popping out of

00:38:09.860 your skull. This guy has to be stopped, or everyone's going to lose their rights. It never goes there.

00:38:14.220 Is there right-wing violence? Sure. But it really isn't connected to the mainstream of the right

00:38:21.440 telling people that these things, you know, would be maybe okay if they happened, or this person

00:38:26.900 needs to be stopped. You really cannot find that rhetoric on the right. Although I was going to say

00:38:32.220 that you are, in a certain sense, right, to say the far left label earlier, because the funny thing is

00:38:37.620 they will label people as Nazis, even though, so they're already smearing you by calling you

00:38:44.080 like a Nazi. And then they'll say far right, but it's like, well, you're, there's a lot of, 0.58

00:38:49.420 here's all the laundering. People don't actually know this. Back after the World War II, in the

00:38:53.680 40s and 50s, the Soviet Union tried to find a way of smearing conservatives as having generated

00:39:00.400 the Nazis, even though they are the national socialists, believe in socialism, and there's 0.82

00:39:05.580 nothing that actually makes them right-wing. So that's my little pet peeve. I always hate when

00:39:09.940 people say the fascists and social and national socialists are somehow right-wing. They're

00:39:14.780 totalitarian, anti-free speech, anti-liberty, and being racist isn't right-wing. Just look at

00:39:20.740 Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia.

00:39:25.200 100 percent. Wyatt, well, I always appreciate having you on the show. Thanks so much. I appreciate

00:39:30.540 the time, Wyatt, and we'll hope to see you again soon. Okay, folks, I am pleased now to be joined by

00:39:36.600 Jonathan Wellam. Jonathan is the President and CEO of Rocklink Investment. Rocklink is an independent

00:39:41.700 investment management firm focused on creating portfolios of high-quality assets. It's based

00:39:46.120 in Burlington, Ontario. They are a proud sponsor of Juno News. So, Jonathan, welcome to the show.

00:39:52.600 Great to see you.

00:39:53.800 Good to see you again, Candice, and enjoy the programs that you've been doing the last little

00:39:58.320 while. They've been excellent.

00:39:59.480 Great. Well, I appreciate it. So I wanted to bring you on today to talk a little bit about

00:40:03.200 the fiscal situation in Canada. Mark Carney and the PBO warn of a mega budget deficit,

00:40:11.160 no balance budget goal. As Carney the Liberal announces, this mega budget deficit came out

00:40:16.260 September 15th. Both Prime Minister Mark Carney, Government of House Leader Steve McKinnon have

00:40:21.420 told Canadians to prepare for a hefty deficit in the upcoming budget, but the refusal to provide an

00:40:26.880 exact estimate of the shortfall. You know, usually when a government comes in, I mean, they were elected,

00:40:30.700 we expected some kind of an update in the spring. We didn't get anything. We're told it's coming in

00:40:35.860 the fall and to sort of brace for it. I imagine that they're going to try to do exactly what

00:40:39.320 Trudeau did, which is just spend their way out of financial trouble. So I'm wondering if you can

00:40:43.580 comment on that.

00:40:45.180 Well, in fact, according to the numbers that are coming down the pipe, it looks like he'll be

00:40:50.020 spending, that is, Mark Carney will be spending probably up to $100 billion more over the next

00:40:55.040 little while than what was already factored into the Trudeau budgets going forward. And so,

00:41:01.100 no, I think we are in a much worse position. And when you look at the breakdown of where he's

00:41:05.320 spending the money, I mean, he's doing a lot of smoke and mirrors. He's talking about balancing

00:41:10.140 the operating budget in three years and so forth, but then he's separating the operating day-to-day

00:41:14.700 budget from capital spending. But a lot of the capital spending, you have to really look at what

00:41:19.060 he's doing there. It's just, it's ridiculous. It's not really being, going into the right kind 0.94

00:41:23.100 of projects. And we can't really trust the government in terms of where it's spending

00:41:27.680 its money. So it's very concerning. Basically, as you know, the public sector has been growing at

00:41:33.320 two, three times the rate of growth in the economy. And that's overall growth. That's not growth per

00:41:37.800 capita, which has actually been shrinking. And so we've just been this massive expansion of the

00:41:42.380 state in Canada the last 10 years. And this does not look like it's stopping, regardless of what

00:41:46.500 you're saying. Well, I think that Canadians are worried about that, but we're also worried about

00:41:50.420 the broader economy. I know that, you know, anytime that there is jobs numbers, they're not as strong

00:41:55.120 as what analysts had expected. It feels like the economy is certainly under stress. I don't know

00:42:00.020 that it's currently in a recession. It doesn't quite meet the definition, but it seems like we might be

00:42:03.900 heading in that direction. I don't think you have a crystal ball over there, Jonathan, but I'm

00:42:08.060 wondering, what do you expect for the Canadian economy? I know that it doesn't necessarily have to do

00:42:12.580 with the government. The government has a lot to do with the environment. Do people want to invest

00:42:18.560 in the country? Do people want to start businesses? Is now a good time to buy a house? Like, what do

00:42:23.360 you think of the current state of the Canadian economy? Yeah, I'd argue the current economy is

00:42:27.940 actually in a recession. If you look at the growth GDP per capita, because we've just swamped the

00:42:33.400 country with immigrants. And so, yeah, you can keep this sort of growth going overall, but it's really 0.97

00:42:38.300 per person that you should be looking at. That's number one. Number two, over the last 10 years,

00:42:42.220 we've starved the Canadian economy of capital. And so the best estimates, again, from experts who

00:42:47.660 have looked at this is through, because of, you know, C-69, C-48, all the moratoriums on oil and gas

00:42:55.160 and so forth, that's led to a shortfall of $670 billion of capital over the last 10 years. So if you

00:43:02.320 pull $670 billion that, you know, didn't go into the economy, that would generate well over a trillion

00:43:08.360 and a half in GDP over a number of years. And so, of course, people are going to be feeling that.

00:43:13.920 If you're not, if you, again, if you pull capital out and capital is not coming into the country,

00:43:18.120 it's not being invested in, you know, capital projects, infrastructure, building and utilizing

00:43:22.820 our natural resources, then Canada is not going to be expanding. It's not going to be growing and

00:43:27.860 we're not going to be creating the jobs. I mean, just the estimates off of $670 billion,

00:43:32.880 you're talking there hundreds of thousands of jobs that were not created. And then all of the

00:43:38.140 multiplier effect of that in the economy. And so the longer this goes on, the more we're really

00:43:43.060 going to feel it in Canada, because we now are falling further and further behind our competitors,

00:43:48.900 in particular the United States, because what Donald Trump's doing is the exact opposite.

00:43:53.400 He's cranking up the capital. He's lowering taxes. He's lowering regulations. He's making it easier

00:43:58.800 for businesses to come in. And he's also using some leverage, you know, the tariffs and the power

00:44:03.100 of the U.S. economy. And why would anybody invest more money in Canada when you can go south of the

00:44:09.180 border and have your capital respected? Well, it's such an interesting time, right? Because you do have

00:44:14.640 Trump sort of temporarily disrupting the flow of the economy through the new measures of tariffs and

00:44:20.600 trying to raise money in different ways, including, interestingly, putting price tags on,

00:44:25.820 you know, the equivalent of a temporary foreign worker saying, sure, you can continue to do this H-1B

00:44:30.240 program, but you have to pay $100,000 per year per employee, which, you know, makes it so that

00:44:35.580 Americans can be more competitive. Or, hey, you can have a green card. You just have to pay us a million

00:44:39.220 dollars. Interesting ways to raise money, but obviously a little bit disruptive in the economy.

00:44:44.100 But the long-term goal, the medium to long-term goal, is to re-industrialize America, right? We saw during

00:44:49.360 globalization, 80s, 90s, 2000s, just total outsourcing of jobs and good sort of middle-class

00:44:55.440 manufacturing jobs. When it came to, like, the new tech manufacturing jobs, it was all happening

00:44:59.940 overseas, mostly in Asia and in China. And Trump is taking measures, and it might be temporarily,

00:45:05.640 you know, harmful because of, you know, the uncertainty that it might create. But in the

00:45:10.580 long run, it's like you're going to get those jobs back into America, and you're getting people excited

00:45:15.300 about building the American, you know, resurgence and revival. And I wish that Canada would get on

00:45:21.480 board with that, and I wish Canada would say, yes, we want to do that too. Let's be your partner,

00:45:24.820 and let's build and grow. And I'm seeing a lot of optimism from my friends in places like the

00:45:30.080 Silicon Valley and New York, and, you know, those are blue cities, and people are still excited

00:45:34.080 about the Trump administration, you know, let alone the revival that's happening around the

00:45:38.180 rest of the country. It seems like we're kind of missing out on that. What do you think?

00:45:42.640 Well, you know, absolutely we're missing out on it completely. I mean, we're following

00:45:46.280 diametrically opposite policies. We're continuing the global agenda, and Trump has said no more.

00:45:51.760 He spoke at the UN just yesterday, or the day before, and that was an amazing speech. He laid

00:45:58.320 it out. He said, no, we're not going to sacrifice our economy. We're not going to, you know, bow before

00:46:03.180 the green agenda, which is absolutely nonsense and a scam, as he mentioned at the session.

00:46:08.900 Meanwhile, we've got our prime minister there saying, you know, we're going to continue with all

00:46:12.860 the, you know, the decarbonization and all of the green agenda, which is expensive,

00:46:17.820 and it will be inflationary, and it will put people out of jobs when the U.S. is going to do

00:46:23.200 the exact opposite. And so, no, that's why people are excited in the States. I mean, there's a bit

00:46:27.780 of detox going on in the U.S. because you have to clean up the mess that was left there from, you know,

00:46:33.620 many, many regimes, especially, of course, the last four years with Biden. But, you know, when you're

00:46:38.140 stopping the net flow of illegal immigrants, yeah, there's going to be some short-term pain for that.

00:46:42.700 But now you're investing back in Americans. You're investing back in your own people, 0.69

00:46:46.900 which is what the game plan should be for any government. You're also, yeah, maybe prices go

00:46:51.880 up a little bit because you're not offshoring a lot of the manufacturing, but then all of the money

00:46:56.100 stays in your country. So you're paying higher wages to people who will be able to go back into 0.98

00:47:00.160 the stores, buy the cars in your own country. And so, yeah, what Donald Trump is doing is amazing.

00:47:07.400 I mean, it's a complete reversal of globalization and the gutting and the hollowing out of the

00:47:13.380 Western countries, which is what we've seen over the last number of decades. And he said,

00:47:17.240 enough is enough. And so I think people will get excited. And we're right next to the U.S.

00:47:22.020 instead of taking the cue from them and doing what is right, we're still aligning ourselves with the

00:47:28.000 failing European economies, as Trump pointed out and has addressed to. I mean,

00:47:32.880 the decisions they made are, they're killing themselves. It's absolute suicide.

00:47:37.340 Right. It looks like a dying civilization over there. I want to mention this national billboard

00:47:41.920 blitz. Juno News covered this exclusive national billboard blitz, giving Kearney a failing grade.

00:47:46.760 So you might see these billboards popping up on a freeway near you. And here is that we reported

00:47:51.820 Canadians may soon see billboards across the country, giving Prime Minister Mark Kearney a failing

00:47:56.020 grade in its first six month. Buffalo Project launched a new campaign on Wednesday with billboards

00:48:00.360 popping up in major cities like Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and even Nepean,

00:48:04.680 which Kearney represents in the House of Commons. The campaign's report card, which you can check out

00:48:08.780 at reportonkearney.ca, graded Kearney on the joint demands made by Alberta and Saskatchewan.

00:48:15.440 While he mostly was given Fs and F-minuses, he did get a C for creating a trade and energy corridor,

00:48:21.740 which he's planning to do, right? That's what Bill, I think, C2 plans to do. Or is it C5? One of the two.

00:48:27.420 But he hasn't done it yet. And it's interesting because during the election campaign, he was

00:48:31.200 talking about the speed that he was going to travel and how it was an emergency and a crisis. And he

00:48:36.120 was here to act. And he was the guy in a crisis. And yet, like, we're six months in. And it's hard

00:48:41.240 to even really point to anything that he's done, right? He's still parroting the same things,

00:48:45.980 like you mentioned, the UN, virtue signaling and bashing our national resources and our energy.

00:48:51.160 And I don't actually really see a lot of action. I'm wondering what your take on that is.

00:48:54.900 Well, again, he's a central banker. So this idea that you're going to get a central banker

00:48:59.360 driving the economy is absolutely outrageous. That's not the position any central banker has

00:49:03.900 ever done. I mean, there are big bureaucrats. And they're, you know, they're overeducated 0.97

00:49:08.120 individuals who are steeped in false ideology. So I think, first, I mean, he doesn't have the

00:49:13.720 background to, you know, to get things done. He's not a Donald Trump. He's not someone who

00:49:17.400 surrounded himself with a cabinet of incredibly successful people who know how to execute a plan.

00:49:22.400 And then secondly, that's not his ideology. I mean, he's completely given over to a global

00:49:28.140 agenda and the whole green agenda. So for him to sort of fast track energy projects and resource

00:49:33.620 projects, it's completely contrary to what he really wants to do. And so I think he's going to

00:49:39.020 slow walk these and he'll, you'll get something out of him, but it'll be very slow and inefficient

00:49:44.440 instead of just opening up the private sector. I mean, you look at his initiatives. He talks about

00:49:48.280 this infrastructure building. Well, there's plenty of capital that would come into the country

00:49:52.100 through the private sector. If he got rid of all these bills that they've passed over the last

00:49:55.640 number of years, and they fast track these projects, we wouldn't have to be spending any

00:49:59.900 tax dollars, but that's not what he wants to do. He wants top down. He wants the money coming through

00:50:04.660 Ottawa and controlling everything. And if that's the way it's going to go, which I'm sure, which,

00:50:09.060 you know, that's, I'm sure that's the way it is going to go. It's going to be slow, inefficient.

00:50:13.460 We'll be overpaying for infrastructure projects. We'll be wasting more and more money.

00:50:17.360 I mean, some of the projects that they've done are four or five, six times what they should have

00:50:21.860 should have spent on these projects. And so I think that's what we're in for going forward.

00:50:26.860 And I don't see any reversal of that. And so I think Canadians are getting increasingly frustrated.

00:50:31.780 I'm out on the street talking to people and they are very disappointed with Mark Carney and what he's

00:50:38.340 pulled off. But in some cases, why are they disappointed? I mean, it's the same government that

00:50:42.880 we had the last 10 years. You've just changed the figurehead. But I think you've got an even

00:50:47.500 more dangerous person because he's smooth and he, you know, he's a little smoother than Trudeau and

00:50:51.540 he looks a little more professional and he doesn't have the crazy socks. So, you know, people think he's

00:50:56.100 a little more stable, but he's not. He was behind the regime before and he's going to, I think,

00:51:01.280 push the same agenda. I don't believe a word that he's saying at this point. Action speaks louder than

00:51:07.520 any words. You know, it's almost funny how it's almost like a mirror image of what's happening

00:51:12.300 in the United States, right? It's like people voted for Joe Biden because they thought he was

00:51:15.720 a moderate. They associated with him, him with Barack Obama, but they thought he was more moderate

00:51:20.020 than Obama was, which is kind of similar with Justin Trudeau, right? Everyone by the end realized

00:51:24.600 Justin Trudeau was pretty much a radical leftist and that so many of the things that he did that he

00:51:29.000 believed in, you know, put his ideology ahead of the well-being of our country, which ended up

00:51:33.520 really, really harming Canadians and hurting our economy. And I think that that was sort of

00:51:37.580 generally, that was consensus. And so we brought in Mark Carney, who Canadians do view as more

00:51:42.120 moderate. He looks more moderate. He looks like a prime minister who would be moderate. But his

00:51:46.580 ideology is rooted in the exact same thing that Justin Trudeau does. Jonathan, I know that, you know,

00:51:51.760 your day job is your president and CEO of Rocklink, which is an investment organization. You focus on

00:51:58.000 personal finance. And so in this sort of, you know, unstable or, you know, kind of potentially

00:52:04.700 dangerous political environment and economic times, what are your recommendations? What is it

00:52:09.860 that you do for your clients? Yeah, we try to look at all of these factors that we've talked about and

00:52:15.380 then incorporate that into an investment thesis, which basically means you want to be very careful

00:52:20.080 about allocating money into Canada. I mean, you have to be very highly selective because we are having

00:52:25.020 all these restrictions top down from the government. So I think it is restricting some of the companies,

00:52:29.060 although we do have some fantastic businesses if they were let to do what they, you know, what they

00:52:33.960 like to do. We got quite a bit of money in the US, as you would expect, because I do think,

00:52:38.860 contrary to what a lot of the economists say, I mean, there are challenges down there, don't get me

00:52:42.880 wrong. But I think that they are going in the right direction. And there's a lot of growth in the

00:52:48.160 technology area and in other industries. And we also have precious metals. So again, we're very

00:52:54.220 concerned about the overall debt crisis around the world, the overspending, the deficits. We're

00:52:58.960 going to see that in Canada, even in the United States. Trump eventually is going to have to rein

00:53:02.880 that in. He's trying to grow the economy, of course. And I think he's also trying to get elected,

00:53:07.900 get the Republicans elected in the midterms. So he doesn't want to create too much instability.

00:53:13.860 But so we go in some of those spaces also. So gold, silver, some of the precious metals,

00:53:18.660 harder commodities. If you have pressure on your currencies, which I think is going to continue,

00:53:23.140 in other words, you're going to lose purchasing power because there's just too much debt.

00:53:27.060 They're going to inflate some of that away. Then you want to own really strategic commodities.

00:53:31.220 And there are a number of places that people can invest to try to protect capital. So that's what

00:53:36.680 we're doing. We're just saying to people, listen, let's batten down the hatches. Let's be careful.

00:53:40.480 There's some growth areas. Let's not chase them, but find business that are trading at good

00:53:45.200 valuations. And then let's put a little bit in some of the precious metals where we can try to,

00:53:49.680 again, maintain purchasing power. That's going to be very important in the next number of years.

00:53:54.900 So interesting. Well, folks, you can learn more over at rocklink.com. That's R-O-C-K-L-I-N-C.com. 0.80

00:54:01.760 Jonathan, I've always appreciated your time. Thank you so much. And thank you for your support of

00:54:05.540 Juno News and the Candace Welcome Show.

00:54:07.660 Great. Thank you very much, Candace.

00:54:09.960 All right, folks. Well, I have just a quick programming note before I end the program.

00:54:14.000 I am taking a little bit of a step back from doing this podcast. So as you know, during the

00:54:20.340 election, I was doing it every day. Over the summer, I stepped back and I had Chris Sims guest

00:54:24.920 hosting the show on Mondays. And then we had Ron Chisner doing a show on Friday. Well,

00:54:31.560 we're going to continue with that. We're going to expand the lineup of podcast hosts and news

00:54:35.800 reporters here on the airwaves. We're really excited. In the coming days and weeks, we'll be

00:54:40.180 announcing a few new shows. We will bring you content every day, day in, day out. I'm personally

00:54:45.400 going to take a few weeks to focus on my family. As you know, I have four small children. My husband

00:54:50.540 changed jobs recently. And so we're in a bit of a period of transition. I will be back in November

00:54:55.640 though, and I will be back to deliver the news. In the meantime, I'm going to leave you in very good,

00:54:59.400 very capable hands here at Juno News. So really appreciate your support. And I will be back. I'll

00:55:05.280 probably come back as a guest on other shows as well. So you might still see me around, but I won't be

00:55:09.300 hosting this show regularly again until November. All right, folks, that's all the time we have for

00:55:14.460 today. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Thank you so much. I'm Candace Malcolm.

00:55:17.820 This is the Candace Malcolm Show. Thank you and God bless.
