00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Happy Friday, everyone. I hope
00:00:05.360 everyone is having a great day so far. I'm very pleased today to be joined by a fan favorite on
00:00:10.600 the show. Every time I have this individual on, I get lots of positive feedback and people urging
00:00:14.160 me to invite him back. So back by popular demand, we have Mark Nixon. Mark's a content creator and
00:00:19.220 political commentator focused on real estate and economics in Canada. Mark, how are you doing?
00:00:24.600 Great. Thank you very much for having me back.
00:00:26.800 Great to see you. Okay, I want to start with a story, which is sort of, I don't usually cover
00:00:31.860 non-Canadian stories, but I promise there will be a Canadian element to the story. And I'm talking
00:00:36.220 about these horrific murders that took place in Washington, D.C. So here is the headline over
00:00:41.760 at the National Review. Pro-Palestinian man charged with a murder in shooting deaths of two Israeli
00:00:47.200 embassy aides in D.C. So I'm going to just read a little bit from this story. Really kind of sad,
00:00:53.860 gruesome story. So Elias Rodriguez, age 30, has been charged with the murder of two young
00:00:58.720 Israeli embassy staffers who were gunned down outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington,
00:01:04.120 D.C. on Wednesday night. Police charged the Chicago, Illinois native Rodriguez with the murder
00:01:09.340 of foreign officials and first degree murder, among many others. Rodriguez chanted free,
00:01:15.200 free Palestine as he was being detained and told police into custody. I did it for Palestine.
00:01:20.480 I did it for Gaza. And now a little bit of information about those two deceased staffers.
00:01:25.900 It's just so sad. The staffers were Yaron Larinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgram. And they were attending the
00:01:31.820 American Jewish Committee Young Diplomats reception at the museum to discuss the humanitarian crisis in
00:01:38.000 Israel and Gaza. And when you read about these two individuals, I mean, you know, the headline,
00:01:43.160 the story is that they were Israeli staffers. So you sort of assume that they are Israeli Jews. Well,
00:01:47.920 that's not even the case, Mark, because we learned that Larinsky worked in the political department of
00:01:53.300 the Israeli embassy. He was born in Israel, moved with his family to Germany as a child, and he was a
00:01:58.300 Christian. He served in the Israeli defense force, but he embodied, according to the ambassador they worked
00:02:03.900 for, he embodied Judeo-Christian values and an example set for young people worldwide. So he wasn't even Jewish,
00:02:08.960 he was a Christian. The woman who they were dating, and apparently they were about to become engaged.
00:02:13.660 It's just such a sad story, as people were just starting their lives together. The woman grew up
00:02:18.480 in Kansas City, in the suburb of Prairie Village, Kansas. And then she ended up going to university
00:02:24.660 in Washington, D.C. She got a master's degree from the American University in Washington, D.C.,
00:02:29.820 and started working in the embassy's public policy office. So she was an American.
00:02:34.460 Just so horrific and senseless. And I do want to tie it to Canada, because we've seen these
00:02:41.140 free-free Palestine protesters run circles throughout our cities, trashing our cities,
00:02:47.460 blocking traffic, ongoing protests from these same sort of people. And now you have one going
00:02:54.380 and actually crossing the line into political violence, into terrorism in North America.
00:03:00.140 And so I'm wondering if I could get your thoughts on this sad story, and maybe some of the reaction
00:03:05.300 that you've seen. Yeah, thank you. So one thing that I noticed is that this took place only a few
00:03:12.920 blocks from the White House. That's the first thing that's quite alarming. This is a very safe
00:03:18.820 area. So you would never think that this type of thing would occur. So one thing that Canadians
00:03:25.320 should realize, and you know, that's the preamble that you described, is these were normal civilians.
00:03:30.300 They weren't any special, you know, badges, anyone that would stand out that would be targeted. It
00:03:36.920 was civilians. And it doesn't matter. Like you said, it's, these are, these are human beings. These
00:03:41.980 are people. And we're seeing this uprising in Canada. So that should concern Canadians that,
00:03:48.580 you know, we saw the burning of the flags. We saw the chance that they were doing in Vancouver last
00:03:54.380 year. You know, is this a public safety concern in Canada? You know, what, what are we, you know,
00:04:01.840 so, and, you know, these are, these are civilians. So we, one thing that, that bothers me is that,
00:04:09.720 you know, Canada has our Canadian values and, you know, we're seeing other countries come to our
00:04:17.620 country and, and, um, bring those issues to, to the Canadian soil. So, um, yeah, that's my take on
00:04:25.380 that. And then we're seeing, yeah, go ahead. Well, it's North America, right? This isn't a war zone.
00:04:29.760 This isn't, doesn't really have anything to do with what might be happening in a war between Israel
00:04:33.780 and Gaza, except for that it's being brought to our doorstep. And like, I mean, for me personally,
00:04:39.120 I worked in Washington, DC as a 20 something when I finished grad school. It's been a year
00:04:42.600 working there. It's a great place to be. It's, it's very vibrant. It's full of these kinds of like
00:04:46.640 events, young people from all over the world that go to DC to work in various, you know, embassies,
00:04:52.120 but also universities and think tanks. There's just like a really vibrant, fun culture in DC,
00:04:57.180 uh, for young politically minded people. And so this idea that someone was bringing this sort of
00:05:02.240 horrific political violence to just murder someone cold blood and then continue to chant the political
00:05:07.080 slogan, to me, it's so outrageous, right? There, there should be, uh, you know, a concern from anyone
00:05:13.140 watching the story. And then it gets even worse, Mark, because I'm going to bring in,
00:05:16.640 another element, which is the cheerleading that we saw on social media. So I'll start with
00:05:21.140 Jaden Baldondia, who's recently deleted his Twitter account after putting this out.
00:05:26.480 This individual is a former green party candidate in the riding of Calgary East. And this is what
00:05:32.300 he writes on X just hours after the news broke. He writes 100% justified, just like Luigi and Rodney
00:05:39.340 Hilton, peaceful protest has failed. And the people need to start fighting back against those in
00:05:44.220 positions of power. Okay. A hundred percent justified, right? So let's just look at this
00:05:49.960 individual, right? He's a young guy. He's a candidate for the green party of Canada, which I
00:05:53.600 assume doesn't really take much to sign up and run for Canada. It says he's an environmental
00:05:57.660 science student at Montreux University in Montreal fighting for collective liberation. So he's some kind
00:06:03.080 of a communist. He's got a bunch of flags here. I looked it up. It's a, he's got the Palestinian flag
00:06:07.780 that the next one is the Congo flag, a Sudanese flag. And then of course the trans flag and look
00:06:13.000 at his location. He calls it Treaty 7, which basically just means that he thinks that Canada
00:06:17.300 is an illegitimate country and that he doesn't recognize it. And so he calls it by like the
00:06:21.700 First Nations indigenous name people. This is really scary. This is a dangerous mindset that has taken
00:06:26.940 hold on the political left, that the types of people that you see active in, you know, university
00:06:32.480 protests, the same kind of free, free Palestine people that we saw just ever since the October
00:06:37.380 7th attacks, people justifying those horrific terror attacks in Israel, people cheerleading
00:06:42.380 on the side of basically like murderers. And the whole idea that like Canada is illegitimate,
00:06:49.620 Israel is illegitimate. And this is becoming kind of almost mainstream within a segment of
00:06:55.740 the political left and within sort of young Canadians. What do you think about that?
00:07:01.780 Some say the bubbles in an aero truffle piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth.
00:07:06.340 Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light. Rich, creamy,
00:07:11.680 chocolatey aero truffle. Feel the aero bubbles melt. It's mind bubbling.
00:07:16.960 It's atrocious. All lives in everywhere matter. There's no type of violence that's acceptable.
00:07:25.400 Murder is, you know, these poor young people. You know, luckily, luckily, there's many Canadians
00:07:34.200 that don't see it the same way as this young gentleman. It's and clearly he deleted his account
00:07:41.380 for a reason because there's no place for that. None, especially in a country like Canada. We need
00:07:48.000 to get back to our roots, which is freedom and prosperity and unity. And that's something we've
00:07:55.060 lost in the last 10 years. So absolutely. OK, one more Rachel Gilmore, our friend, the former
00:08:01.160 reporter for Global News. She also had a problem with this. So she quote tweeted a New York Times
00:08:07.000 correspondent just basically just saying that, you know, these were young political staffers.
00:08:12.000 They met in Washington. They fell in love. He was about to take her to Jerusalem to meet his family
00:08:16.320 and had bought an engagement ring before they were gunned down. Right. And so Rachel Gilmore saw that
00:08:21.120 tweet. And this is what she writes. She says, it's hard to stomach such obvious displays from the
00:08:25.840 world's biggest news voices that to them, some lives absolutely matter more than others. These
00:08:31.660 murders were deeply wrong and sad. But I have never seen Peter Baker, the New York Times journalist,
00:08:37.760 write this kind of an article about a murdered Palestinian. So she's saying that, like, how dare you
00:08:43.620 even cover this story and write about them sympathetically? These were young people who were
00:08:48.100 murdered in the prior life. How dare you do that? Because there is this other war happening on the
00:08:53.680 other side of the world. And I get that these two young people work for the Israeli embassy,
00:08:57.620 but they weren't, like, making the decisions on the battlefield. Like, they weren't, like,
00:09:01.760 actively engaged in the war. Right. They don't really have much to do with it. And so this weird
00:09:07.340 idea that, like, I don't even know. I don't want to jump inside Rachel Gilmore's brain too much.
00:09:12.900 I don't think that there's much thought going into these kind of things. But just such a such a just
00:09:17.880 gross thing to say. Any final thoughts on this one? I have two thoughts. I don't remember one time
00:09:24.680 that I thought she had a good take on anything. That's the first thought. Like, so. And what I'm
00:09:33.040 wondering is, is she doing it for clicks? Or is she really that like that? And so I always scratch my
00:09:39.820 head going, there's clearly either there are people like that out there or, you know, she's
00:09:46.400 doing it to, you know, for clicks or something. Yeah, probably the latter. I don't really know.
00:09:52.400 OK, let's move on to a topic you're probably more comfortable with, Mark. The economic update. So
00:09:55.920 there was this inflation report that came out during the week. CBC reported this way. Inflation drops to
00:10:00.860 1.7% in April, driven by lower energy prices after the carbon tax removal. So the sort of implicit
00:10:06.060 thing is, Mark Carney has saved us already. He got rid of the carbon tax and now inflation is going
00:10:10.820 down. I think you had a bit of a different take. So what did you make of it?
00:10:14.720 Yeah, so this is kind of my neck of the woods is economy and mortgages. So for this, we had a
00:10:21.060 significant drop. So the first thing is they said for the last nine year or well, the carbon tax since
00:10:28.180 it's been what, six years, they said that it causes zero inflation or 0.15 is so insignificant. And
00:10:35.980 you're better off with the carbon tax than without the carbon tax. Well, we find out now that they
00:10:41.420 remove the carbon tax and it actually dropped inflation from 2.3 to 2.7. But something that
00:10:48.200 people don't realize that everything else went up in inflation. So it's actually more significant
00:10:53.460 of a drop than you would think, because if we take a look at food price inflation, it exploded
00:10:59.200 upwards at 3.8%. Throughout the campaign and throughout the election, they weren't, CBC and
00:11:06.620 mainstream media weren't really talking about food price inflation. We just found out now that over
00:11:11.400 the last three months, it's been exploding upwards and it's becoming problematic. And so if we take a
00:11:17.840 look at this middle class tax cut of $800 that Mark Carney is going to be providing us on July 1st,
00:11:24.820 if he pulls through with that, that $800. So that's for two parents working. So two parents
00:11:33.100 working, living together with zero children, spend roughly $16,000 on food per year. If you actually
00:11:40.760 take the 3.8% and add it to the 16,000, you're basically wiped out. The $800 is wiped out from
00:11:49.040 inflation just on food and everything else is going up in cost in Canada. And if you are a family
00:11:54.900 like myself, I got kids, I'm spending roughly $24,000. So he needs to do a significantly larger
00:12:01.740 tax cut just to make it even for food price inflation. And that's something that people
00:12:07.780 don't realize. And one thing that's concerning is the Bank of Canada has an interest rate announcement
00:12:14.980 on June 4th. And based on this food inflation and the other inflation, even though we're at 1.7%,
00:12:22.600 the likelihood of them cutting now is 35%. There's a 65% chance of them doing nothing.
00:12:29.680 So, which is concerning for people that there's actually 60% of mortgages in Canada are renewing
00:12:37.200 in this year or next year, and they're all going to be renewing at a significantly higher amount.
00:12:42.580 How much more can life become more expensive before people become insolvent? There's another
00:12:48.880 point that I want to make is there was a statistics came out saying that Canadians on average, just to
00:12:56.380 survive, the average Canadian spends $76,000 of just to survive. That is after tax. That means you need
00:13:04.960 to earn $108,000 just to survive. Well, guess what? The average Canadian is not making $108,000
00:13:13.120 as a family unit. They're making $106,000. That's the average. And we just got a report that came out
00:13:20.500 showing that one in four Canadians have food insecurity. And one in three youth have food insecurity.
00:13:30.000 So, these are trends that are continuing to get worse. And, you know, we're going to have to do
00:13:36.020 some rapid development of our natural resources. And that's not electricity. That's oil and gas.
00:13:44.220 And so, we're going to find out if we get the Mark Carney book of values, or are we going to get
00:13:48.740 Mark Carney the energy superpower? And we're going to have to move rapidly. So, we'll see what happens.
00:13:55.660 Well, the stat that you mentioned, about 60% of people having their mortgages renewed this year
00:13:59.840 or next, I mean, that's a very scary situation for many families, right? Knowing that, you know,
00:14:05.100 you set up your entire family budget based on your mortgage and what you can afford and what you can
00:14:09.540 pay. And so, the idea that all of a sudden, it would get thrown back at you, and the interest rate
00:14:14.160 could literally be double what you were paying. I mean, people, like, I mean, what would you do in that
00:14:21.040 situation? Yeah, well, we got some more statistics showing that if somebody, the people that purchased
00:14:27.960 the property over the last five years, about 93% of them are underwater. So, one thing, which is,
00:14:37.020 you know, when I saw that statistic, meaning the price of your, the value of your property has dropped
00:14:42.440 and gobbled up all of your, you know, the purchase. So, you usually, you put 20% down, so that's gone.
00:14:48.400 And what happens for these individuals, they won't have to deal with it right now, but in five years
00:14:53.480 from now, when they renew their mortgage, well, actually, if they purchased within the last,
00:14:57.640 so maybe those people this year or next year, when they're renewing, what happens is, is, first of all,
00:15:04.180 we're hearing that the credit within the banks are tightening, meaning they're going to be more
00:15:09.960 selective on who they lend to. Even if you have a good job, it's stable, they might actually decline you
00:15:15.140 for the renewal, because they're selective. So, you'll fall into a more pricier lender,
00:15:21.020 if you could find one. Also, for those people, what happens is, is they do something called
00:15:26.220 loan buy-down. And loan buy-down means that you have to pay the bank money in order to keep your
00:15:32.240 loan in good standing. And so, for example, if you have a non-insured mortgage, you have to put 20%
00:15:39.000 down. Well, if the value of your home's gone down from $1 million to $800,000, right? And then you
00:15:45.400 got an $800,000 mortgage because you did 80%, now your value is $800,000, you'll have to buy the loan
00:15:52.800 down to $640,000. So, that's $160,000 that you need to come up from nowhere to buy down to be,
00:15:59.520 to remain whole with your mortgage. So, there's, that's something that's materializing. We're going
00:16:05.300 to have to see where interest rates go and something to pay attention to. Because in the
00:16:10.440 city of Toronto, we're already seeing a record amount of listings right now. This is the spring
00:16:16.380 market. So, May is usually when the real estate market is the busiest and it's not busy at all.
00:16:21.380 There's, there's no sales. People aren't selling anything. And I saw 10,400 condos for sale. It's
00:16:30.220 just, the numbers are just astronomical. And so, what happens is by summertime, it's,
00:16:35.920 the market's going to slow down. It's already slow. Yeah. So, the only thing that's going to
00:16:40.740 happen here is prices are going to have to adjust. So, I'll be, I'll be making, yeah.
00:16:45.920 Yes. All right. Have we seen prices adjust though? Because I know there's a bit of a controversy.
00:16:50.160 Mark Carney's new housing minister, Gregor Robertson, former mayor of Vancouver, was asked whether he
00:16:55.800 wants to see housing prices drop. Now, if you are young and you haven't yet entered the market and
00:17:00.000 you're looking to buy your first home, you need the prices to drop because no one can afford a
00:17:04.120 million dollar starter home. I mean, very few people can, right? And so, you want the prices
00:17:07.780 to go down. But then, in the situation that you're describing, if you bought in the last five years or
00:17:11.740 if you're a homeowner, you absolutely don't want the prices to go down because it could mean you lose
00:17:15.980 your house. Have we started to see any movement in prices? Yeah. Well, actually, if you take a look
00:17:21.580 from three years ago, the prices are down almost 20% in Toronto. They're coming down across the
00:17:26.980 country right now. So, and I expect prices to continue to come down because what's going to
00:17:33.960 save this thing? Right now, we will have a paused interest rate June 4th. The bond market, the five
00:17:40.640 year GOC is close to 3%. It went down to almost 2.25. So, we're up almost 75 basis points in the last
00:17:49.380 couple months. So, and for people that are out there, fixed term mortgages are priced on the
00:17:55.380 five year GOC. So, if you're at 3%, usually you add 100 basis points above the 3%. So, mortgage rates
00:18:02.600 are around 4%, 4.25% right now. The one thing is that Gregor Robinson said he doesn't want to see
00:18:13.540 prices go down at all. He wants people to maintain the value of their homes. And then people are like,
00:18:21.600 well, how are you going to make life more affordable for Canadians and people get into the housing market?
00:18:26.080 And he said two things. First, we're going to remove the GST on new homes. And then the second
00:18:30.660 thing is they're going to make these manufactured homes and slap them together and drop them places.
00:18:37.280 And so, basically, what they created is, you know, when I grew up, the Canadian dream was to own,
00:18:42.380 you know, the white picket fence, a nice home. And that dream's finished, especially with this
00:18:49.140 Liberal government. They think that the Canadian dream is a, you know, a backyard shed. That
00:18:56.160 basically is a backyard shed. They're going to drop it off and then they're most likely going to rent
00:19:01.540 it to you. Maybe you'll own it, but they're going to make it affordable housing that's unacceptable
00:19:08.700 housing in my view. We need to go bigger. We need to dream bigger. The dream they're selling us is
00:19:14.500 very sad for our youth. And that's why I'm so discouraged that we didn't elect for change,
00:19:21.020 something new. Even if for the people out there that were on the fence or they voted Liberal,
00:19:25.880 I mean, the thing is that we had the Liberal government for 10 years. We know what they're
00:19:30.460 going to deliver for us. Even if you change the face, one person, the Cabinet, 85% of the Cabinet is the
00:19:36.420 same. As if, and I, as if you would think that, okay, there's a new leader. So this leader is going
00:19:43.040 to be able to make the 85% of Cabinet ministers competent when they're not competent. It's not
00:19:49.600 realistic. So, you know, if we want change, you know, actually I have something to add here is
00:19:57.440 just watching mainstream media since the elections finished, and now we've had the sworn in of the
00:20:03.900 Cabinet ministers. The one thing I've noticed from the mainstream media and the left is that they're
00:20:10.840 coming out and saying, you know, we believe that they're going to, Mark Carney and the Liberal
00:20:17.240 government is going to increase wages across Canada, and they're going to cut taxes and do all these
00:20:23.060 things. They're basically describing Pierre Polyev's platform. Well, I want to make it very clear to
00:20:28.440 Canadians. If you want Conservative policies, you have to vote Conservative. You can't expect a Liberal
00:20:34.700 government to adopt Conservative policies because they're not Conservative. They're progressive. They're
00:20:40.240 going to print money into infinity and beyond. They're going to continue to do everything they've
00:20:44.900 done in the last 10 years. And if you expect something different, you're going to be disappointed.
00:20:50.700 Well, I think that's right. And I think that the new Cabinet that Carney introduced just reminded us of
00:20:54.300 that, that this is the Trudeau government 2.0, same people, same cast of characters, don't expect
00:20:59.480 anything different. Well, the CBC, you mentioned that the legacy media was out there, you know,
00:21:04.580 covering for Mark Carney. This is, this is, I would put that in this category. So this story has been
00:21:09.280 circulating online. CBC posted this article, this investigation, pressure mounting on Pierre Polyev to
00:21:15.740 fire Jenny Byrne. Jenny Byrne was his national campaign manager. And folks might remember the name because
00:21:21.340 she was a pivotal part of the Stephen Harper government as well. And so I'm going to play a
00:21:27.140 couple of clips for you here, Mark. But here we have Power From Politics host, guest host, Peter
00:21:31.900 Armstrong. And he is sitting with a reporter from Radio Canada. So Radio Canada is a French TBC.
00:21:37.900 And they did this report. Apparently they spoke to 12 Conservative caucus members. So members of
00:21:42.800 Parliament who spoke anonymously off the record. Never trust a report or someone speaking anonymously off the
00:21:49.300 record. Look, if you have something to say, you're an MP. Like, man up and say it on the record. Come
00:21:54.160 out and say it. Don't whisper it to a CBC reporter if this actually is true and happened. But I'm going
00:22:00.460 to play a few clips of this report, basically just describing how these anonymous Conservative MPs
00:22:07.320 want Jenny Byrne to be fired. Let's play the first clip.
00:22:10.980 They basically blame Jenny Byrne for the defeat in the last election, failing to adapt to the situation
00:22:17.760 with Justin Trudeau leaving, Donald Trump arriving on the scene and failing to grasp the change
00:22:24.600 in the mood of the electorate when they did not change their platform, when they did not change
00:22:29.940 their message. So that's Radio Canada reporter Christian Noël kind of repeating the same narrative
00:22:35.900 that we heard like in the Globe and Mail throughout the election. We heard this from Doug Ford and his
00:22:40.440 chief of staff, Corey Tanike, saying that, oh, the Conservatives didn't pivot enough about Trump and they
00:22:45.100 should have maybe spent more of the campaign talking about Trump. I dismiss that. I think
00:22:48.760 that's nonsense. I don't think that that had anything to do with the outcome of the election.
00:22:52.200 I agree that there was a period in like early 2025 when Polyev just seemed a little flat footed,
00:22:58.060 but he caught his stride. And by the time the election was rolling around, he was back and he
00:23:02.080 was on playing playing offense. But this idea that they should have pivoted faster. What do you make of
00:23:08.740 it, Mark? I think that CBC is trying their hardest to cause chaos within the Conservative Party.
00:23:17.420 That's all it is. It's mainstream media. They create chaos. They create scripts. What they've done here
00:23:24.560 is try to create doubt. There's no doubt in my mind that Pierre Polyev is the strongest leader that
00:23:31.840 Conservatives have had in 40 years. How do we know this? Because Pierre Polyev was able to get
00:23:38.680 8 million votes. The largest amount of votes in 40 years for the Conservatives. There was no failure.
00:23:45.760 The failure was the NDP, Jagmeet Singh, completely collapsing his party and causing all of those
00:23:52.060 votes to go to the Liberals. People are forgetting that. That's exactly what happened in this election.
00:23:57.380 There was no failure for the Conservatives. Could they have done better? Of course. Could there be
00:24:02.160 some reflection on how they could have done, you know, got a little bit more? Because this thing was so
00:24:06.840 close, under 2%, and the Conservatives would have taken a majority government. People need to realize
00:24:12.340 that if they just got a little bit more, then yeah, it's a different, we have a different story
00:24:19.320 here in Canada. Just to your point about the best election result in 40 years, like no political
00:24:24.440 leader had ever crossed the 7 million vote mark, let alone 8 million. So both Polyev and Mark Carney did
00:24:30.200 better in any election than any previous leader. And that includes Pierre Polyev, right? Like in the
00:24:34.820 2021 election, the Conservatives got 34% of the vote. In 2025, they got 41%. So they improved the
00:24:41.500 percentage that they got by what, 7%? They got 7% more. Like in any other election, that would have been
00:24:47.300 enough to win. To your point, it was just because the NDP collapsed. And I agree that they're just
00:24:51.520 drumming this up to make a controversy and promote the infighting in the Conservatives. I want to play a few
00:24:56.820 more clips here. So this is Christian Noël, the Radio Canada reporter, saying that sources told him
00:25:02.900 that Jenny Byrne brings out the worst in Pierre Polyev, and that she basically made him more
00:25:09.080 negative. Let's play that clip. So her critics say that Jenny Byrne brings the worst out of Pierre
00:25:16.040 Polyev, out of his character, out of his negativity. For her, everything is a battle, I've been told.
00:25:21.620 If you don't win, you lose. And it brings out the negative tone of Pierre Polyev that seems
00:25:26.800 to be rubbing electors the wrong way.
00:25:30.200 So rubbing electors the wrong way, yet he got 41% of the vote, which again, folks, is better than any
00:25:34.760 other Conservative leader since 1988. And Brian, one more clip for you here, Mark. This is the same
00:25:40.240 reporter saying that basically, the caucus members he spoke to said, fire Jenny Byrne, or we're going
00:25:47.940 to fire you to Pierre Polyev. So let's play this clip.
00:25:50.420 If she stays, if she stays, I've been said, I've been told, caucus will lose patience. It will be
00:25:58.240 more difficult to support Pierre if there's a confidence vote in caucus. And it's either Pierre
00:26:03.920 who shows Jenny's the door, or caucus will be ready to show Pierre the door.
00:26:08.720 I would really like to know who these 12 caucus members are, who are on the preface of firing
00:26:14.900 Pierre Polyev, because I haven't heard any of that, right? Like, I'm not saying that I'm
00:26:18.320 a total Conservative insider, but I talk to people, I know people. And this is not the conversation.
00:26:22.920 Like, I think Pierre Polyev has incredible support from the base of the party, and from the caucus,
00:26:28.940 from MPs, because, you know, he led them through this election, the ones that got elected, many of them
00:26:33.980 got elected because of Pierre Polyev's leadership. So from the people I speak to, you know, there's a
00:26:38.700 lot of positivity around him. And so for the CBC to pretending that there's this mounting,
00:26:43.400 you know, movement to oust him as leader, like, show her the door, or we'll show you the door.
00:26:49.080 Again, if that's true, I'd really like to hear, like, people need to put their name behind it,
00:26:53.720 right? Like, anonymously speaking to CBC is not going to cut it. So I think that either the CBC
00:26:57.660 is just cooking up a fake news report here, because, you know, they want to distract Canadians away from
00:27:03.760 the total dumpster fire that's happening over in the Liberal Party and their new caucus and their
00:27:08.100 new cabinet and everything like that, not even having a budget this year. Either that or, you
00:27:13.280 know, these MPs who are just kind of like, I don't know, trying to maybe see a pathway for their own
00:27:20.440 leadership run or something like that. What do you think, Mark?
00:27:24.040 When they don't release names and they say they're imaginary caucus members, you know, it's
00:27:29.440 completely manufactured. There's so much going on with the Liberal Party right now. For example,
00:27:36.620 you know, it, the whole thing blew up on Mark Carney, where he didn't want to produce us a
00:27:41.540 budget, this economic genius, the guy's been creating budgets his entire life. That's why
00:27:47.180 people voted for Mark Carney, even though even CBC was like, no budget, like, what country,
00:27:53.580 what country, even the most corrupt countries, what country does not have a budget?
00:27:57.740 I don't think you can name one, that every country has a budget. So for them to come out
00:28:03.420 and knowing that he's, he provided Canadians a costed Liberal platform. He provided numbers
00:28:09.040 and inside those numbers, he could have ported the numbers. He could have done something with
00:28:14.320 the numbers. When you have no, um, no budget, that means you have no plan. So yeah, that's chaos
00:28:22.780 right there. And, um, and so CBC is trying to drum up stories about the Conservatives, which
00:28:28.480 are imaginary, um, because there's just so much chaos with the Liberals. And another thing
00:28:33.640 is elbows up. What happened to elbows up? Elbows up is gone. We're talking about the golden dome
00:28:40.520 with the United States and CBC reported it could cost almost half a trillion dollars. And Canada's
00:28:47.160 going to be a partnership in that. That is a massive story where, and Mark Carney on his
00:28:52.660 priorities, uh, press conference, he did the other day, he said that, yeah, we're going to be partners
00:28:58.120 with that because who wants, uh, missiles or bombs dropping on your home. We only have 30 seconds to
00:29:03.200 react. So we need to react quick and we need this iron dome thing. The thing is, is that CBC even
00:29:08.500 reported that the technology, a lot of the technology doesn't even exist yet. And Donald Trump wants to
00:29:14.920 create this thing in, in his terms. So three and a half years, and he's saying it's $175 billion.
00:29:21.780 It could exceed $500 billion. Um, and so all of that money that's going to be going towards that,
00:29:29.860 that's, that doesn't sound like we're finding new partnerships. That doesn't sound like we're,
00:29:35.240 you know, we're moving away from the United States and becoming partners with Europe. Another thing that
00:29:39.980 really bothers me is, you know, Mark Carney's like, we're our, our, yeah, militarily, we're going to
00:29:46.440 work with the United States, but economically we're finished. Our partnership is finished.
00:29:50.580 So he wants to, he just yesterday posted that he, he's making deals with Poland. He's making
00:29:55.760 deals with Europe. He's making deals with, with, um, Australia. Do people not realize that in order to
00:30:03.680 make deals with these countries, we need cargo ships, we need planes, we need all of this.
00:30:08.220 It makes zero sense from the guy that wants to save the planet and he's net zero, but he's making
00:30:13.880 deals with, with countries that are literally on the other side of the planet. All of that pollution
00:30:18.740 to get a trade with them has to, you know, we're going to create all this new pollution. When in
00:30:23.940 reality, if something ever happens to us, like we're married to the United States, we are, uh, we are
00:30:30.600 like married. We can't move geographically. We can't move Canada and just make Canada go to Europe.
00:30:36.800 No, we're, we're literally married. We need to figure out our problems and we need to work with
00:30:41.820 the United States, no matter what militarily, economically. And guess what? In three and a half
00:30:48.100 years, we're going to have a new president. The relationship's going to change real quick in
00:30:51.380 three and a half years. This entire thing has been drummed up in order to gain votes. And we know
00:30:56.520 the elbows up has become elbows down real quick. And we're going to hear in the future that we,
00:31:01.340 that we're doing more with the United States. Oh, all of a sudden we have the trade deal.
00:31:05.540 So the trade deal already happened with the UK. Um, we found out about that. Um, and Mark Carney
00:31:12.480 talked about these F-35s, you know, we have choices and the Americans are respecting us all
00:31:17.840 of a sudden because we have choices. We could buy our planes and all the middle military with Europe.
00:31:22.200 Imagine, imagine buying planes from Europe and trying to get parts from Germany or trying to get
00:31:28.320 parts shipped to Canada. Like it makes zero sense. It, it actually could be a risk. And so, um,
00:31:36.940 we're going to see what's going to happen here. And you know, that we will both be reporting on it
00:31:41.620 because, um, yeah, it's, it's, yeah. Well, it's, it's wild and, and they can't get their,
00:31:47.920 their act together, right? Like Mark Carney can't even find a chief of staff. So Marco Mendicino,
00:31:51.840 former MP and minister was originally tapped to be the temporary chief of staff, but now he seems like he
00:31:57.420 has to stay because he can't find anyone. You know, I was told that Mark Carney was handpicked
00:32:01.420 from like these global elitist circles. He calls himself a globalist and an elitist. You would
00:32:05.880 think he would have a Rolodex full of eager applicants to come and help him run the government
00:32:10.980 and save Canada, right? It's a period of crisis. So where's the team, right? He can't even find
00:32:15.580 someone to run his office. He has to use all of the recycled Trudeau cabinet ministers who Canadians
00:32:20.980 have had enough of who destroyed our country. Uh, it's not looking good for Mark Carney. Well,
00:32:26.560 Mark Nixon, uh, great to have you. Always enjoy you on the show. We'll have to have you again,
00:32:30.020 back in real soon. Have a great weekend. Thank you very much. All right, folks. Have a wonderful
