The Candice Malcolm Show - Legacy media promotes leftist protesters while smearing conservative ones

00:00:00.000 so according to the legacy media if you are a protester on the political right it means that

00:00:19.320 you are angry you're probably racist and you're definitely bigoted however if you are a protester

00:00:24.380 on the political left for instance if you're protesting against a conservative politician

00:00:28.680 well that makes you righteous it makes you honorable and definitely worthy of the audience's

00:00:34.580 time this according to the legacy media it is a special live edition of fake news friday i'm

00:00:40.100 candace malcolm and this is the candace malcolm show thank you so much for joining us and i am

00:00:45.160 joined as per usual by my producer harrison faulkner harrison is a journalist with us at true north and

00:00:51.720 it's always great to have you with us on fridays harrison yeah thanks for having me candace this

00:00:56.580 is going to be a good one we've got uh coverage that's skewed about protests we've got completely

00:01:01.800 fake protests and of course we've got the protests that the media would like to just completely ignore

00:01:05.880 so looking forward to getting into it well it is sort of interesting because i mean we covered this

00:01:11.660 on the show last week harrison we showed the audience of how the legacy media ran with this

00:01:16.880 story that was completely fake it was a fake story concocted by a bunch of liberal mps and liberal

00:01:21.640 strategists and liberal staffers saying that oh justin trudeau couldn't offend i couldn't attend

00:01:26.840 this fancy uh fundraiser out in surrey british columbia a thousand dollars a plate he couldn't

00:01:31.900 attend because there were these awful racist conservatives outside and it wasn't safe for

00:01:37.320 the prime minister to go in uh rather than trying to verify the story rather than trying to get evidence

00:01:43.440 of these supposedly racist comments that prevented the prime minister from entering the protest

00:01:47.520 uh the media just ran with the story they just put it out there as fact they didn't even put the

00:01:51.800 usual disclaimer that media does in the headline saying liberals claim or liberals claim uh or

00:01:57.320 according to liberals or whatever no it was just like fact trudeau couldn't go to this fundraiser

00:02:01.420 because of racism and then the whole story fell apart when video footage emerged i mean what do you

00:02:06.860 expect right there's like 100 protesters outside or a couple dozen protesters anyway everyone's filming it

00:02:12.140 there's lots and lots of video footage all you have to do is go on social media to see it

00:02:15.440 and it becomes pretty clear very quickly that there was no no such racism um and so rather than the

00:02:20.720 media admitting that they had made a mistake admitting that they had basically run a liberal

00:02:25.240 press release as news and we're talking about cbc canadian press which ends up in all of the

00:02:30.160 newspapers um instead they just kind of quietly changed the the headline they just quietly rewrote the

00:02:35.540 piece and didn't admit that they had made any previous errors well we thought it would be fun

00:02:40.240 harrison to contrast how the liberals treated that how the media treated the liberals in that protest

00:02:46.160 with how the media treats protests against conservatives so everyone knows we had an

00:02:51.360 election in ontario the results came in last night it was pretty resounding doug ford the progressive

00:02:57.000 conservative won a huge majority victory even bigger than before the liberals were decimated again

00:03:03.160 they were decimated last time they were decimated again uh the ndp ran a terrible campaign and

00:03:08.140 lost seats as well so so the conservatives are a big winner they're incredibly popular in ontario

00:03:12.700 people like what they're doing um and and it was interesting i don't know if you watched any of the

00:03:16.800 coverage last night harrison i was watching cbc's coverage and i i guess it's like their a team that's

00:03:21.760 in in parliament and and sort of their b team that covers queens park because it was a bit rough around

00:03:26.520 the edges that uh broadcast uh wasn't wasn't really their best of i honestly think that our content at

00:03:31.400 true north is a lot better and i that's that's not just uh you know me being uh you know

00:03:36.220 very self-praising i actually thought that the cbc did a terrible terrible job well anyway this is

00:03:42.120 this this happened earlier uh sorry this was last sunday so last sunday may 29th there was a rally for

00:03:48.220 doug ford in london ontario and there was a group of protesters who interrupted they posed as as

00:03:54.880 conservative supporters and then as soon as the premier went to go speak they tried to disrupt the

00:03:59.460 event they tried to storm the event and so interestingly that again when when there's

00:04:03.220 conservatives protesting the liberal prime minister the media paints him as bigots the media paints

00:04:07.100 him as racist they don't even try to verify they don't corroborate the information they just run

00:04:10.880 with the headline these are terrible racist people they don't of course they don't bother to actually

00:04:15.560 interview any of the subjects they don't bother to talk to the individual protesters just like they

00:04:19.560 did with the trucker convoy um we should contrast that with with how the media cover these people who

00:04:25.200 are interrupting what is clearly a very popular premier a premier that just won a resounding victory

00:04:29.460 last night in the election but the media treat him like he's he's some kind of a you know nefarious

00:04:35.640 character coming to destroy the the province of ontario and he's been the premier for the last four

00:04:39.800 years and so i want to play this clip this is uh i believe from ctv and you you'll just see the way

00:04:46.040 they cover it not only do they sort of promote the ideas of these protesters they actually go out and

00:04:52.100 interview them and give them airtime and and and promote their sort of fantasies um about about what's

00:04:57.780 happening in ontario so let's uh let's play this clip and then we'll we'll break it all down harrison

00:05:02.460 thank you for coming out today you're privatizing our health care you need to be honest with them

00:05:10.880 the co-chair of the london health coalition jeffrey hanks is escorted by security after posing as a

00:05:17.200 doug ford supporter to get into a private rally in london i wanted to tell people he's going to

00:05:23.120 privatize our health care before he became premier and i missed the opportunity so i just wanted

00:05:27.820 people to know that he's going to private privatize their health care and we should vote accordingly

00:05:32.240 hanks wasn't the only one to take the stage three different people interrupted the premier's visit

00:05:38.340 i think that i have the right to let people know before they vote that doug ford is really a fraud

00:05:44.620 i mean the conservative have been destroying this province and this country

00:05:48.720 you know and at the expense of the most vulnerable

00:05:52.600 so so so we go we go out and and and we interview you know the the the provocateurs the disruptors who

00:06:01.740 go and do something illegal right to the second gentleman there no you don't have the right to

00:06:05.960 interrupt a private event sure you have the right to express your opinions and your views and you can

00:06:10.060 go and spout your opinions all you want go stand on a soapbox go write on twitter write your own blog

00:06:15.460 you don't have the right to go into someone else's private event and disrupt it and and and and then

00:06:20.640 sort of the the crux of his argument the guy's a fraud it's like great that's your opinion thanks

00:06:25.900 for sharing you know no no facts or evidence needed um in order to give them sort of prime

00:06:31.440 space to to discuss their opinions the first gentleman there saying he's going to privatize

00:06:36.380 our health care you got to be honest with lontarians it's like again the guy's been premier for four

00:06:40.140 years hasn't privatized the health care since so far so this whole suggestion that you could just

00:06:45.360 sort of make these claims you don't press back journalists don't say well what do you mean can

00:06:49.300 you provide some evidence can you provide example they just they just give them a platform and that's

00:06:54.020 that's the way that we treat uh anti-conservative protesters in this country harrison what do you

00:06:59.100 make of all this well candace just imagine for a second if the ctv treated the the protesters in

00:07:06.000 ottawa with the same respect uh and the same uh whatever you want to describe it as i guess you could

00:07:11.260 call it respect you could just call it with you could call it some sort of i don't know i mean

00:07:15.220 clearly they're promoting these these protesters but imagine if the ctv did that for the ottawa

00:07:19.280 protesters took the time to interview them get what they had to say get the best parts of what

00:07:24.320 they had to say as well keep in mind because of course i'm sure they edited that interview

00:07:27.580 uh to make these two uh these two protesters protesters look as good as possible but things

00:07:33.600 would be totally different of course and and the narrative that the media ran with uh to the

00:07:37.600 protesters in ottawa would be different if they treated them with the same uh the same i guess you

00:07:42.480 call it respect but again this also highlights candace the difference between the legacy media

00:07:47.600 and independent media because i was at a ford event the day before the election uh i saw uh i myself

00:07:54.160 uh approached an independent journalist who was very critical of ford and i saw a rebel journalist do the

00:07:59.240 same thing and i've seen this happen before where independent journalists will speak to both sides

00:08:04.260 part of the story is covering opposition and protesters at events um there's there's the there's the key

00:08:10.420 difference though candace because independent media will do that they will take the time to approach

00:08:14.800 these people and hear what they have to say and they'll also go into the event and usually act with

00:08:19.200 with respect and interview the subject of the event so i mean it's clearly uh it's clearly just

00:08:25.860 you know the difference between how the media treats these protesters is obvious um and i think the

00:08:30.960 canadians are obviously worse off for it uh and just just imagining how how things would have been

00:08:35.840 different in ottawa if ctv had uh had interviewed some of the protesters on the ground and really

00:08:40.840 understood what they were trying to say it's a shame that it doesn't happen but i mean it just ends up

00:08:45.600 driving viewers to us right it just drives viewers away from legacy media to independent sources that do

00:08:51.000 the job properly well this has been a long-running theme in the legacy media which is that left-wing causes

00:08:57.700 and left-wing protests are inherently righteous right uh right in the middle of covid when we were all

00:09:03.720 locked down and any anyone who was gathering even to try to go to church or or you know slight protests

00:09:09.540 against the heavy-handed totalitarian lockdowns uh the media quickly called them covidiots and they 0.97

00:09:16.840 you know demonized them and they say people are risking everyone they're going to kill grandma like 0.99

00:09:21.500 how dare these evil evil people uh and then and then and then like a minute later uh when when black 0.95

00:09:27.060 lives matter protests were happening all over the world in reaction to a isolated crime event in a

00:09:33.200 different country um all of a sudden we had all these health experts including our own in canada

00:09:37.600 saying that that that systemic racism is another pandemic and therefore protesting against systemic

00:09:44.120 racism is tolerable in our society and and to me that was when they really let the cat out of the bag

00:09:49.320 it's like okay uh these these health experts have no sense of neutrality it is all about their

00:09:56.200 political agenda it is all about partisanship here is justin trudeau breaking his own social distancing

00:10:01.300 rules to go out and take a knee whatever that means um but but again the media cover it like

00:10:07.320 wow it's so heroic i remember uh david aiken the bureau chief over at global saying justin trudeau is the

00:10:12.840 first g7 leader to go to a black lives matter protest like salivating at this idea and it's like

00:10:18.660 you know their their their agenda the difference in the way that they treat protesters on the left

00:10:24.520 versus protestant right it's it's been pretty blatantly obvious for a while i think that the

00:10:29.060 trucker convoy really exposed that and we just see sort of little examples of it every single week in

00:10:35.560 the media where again if you're protesting doug ford you're heroic and you deserve equal time on the

00:10:41.860 television screen to hear what this guy has to say even though what he's saying isn't based in any any

00:10:46.840 facts or any backed up at all by evidence it's just it's some crazy guy's opinion um but yeah you know

00:10:52.760 we're gonna we're gonna put that front and center yeah and and when the legacy media does is when

00:10:57.800 the legacy media goes ahead and demonizes protesters who have every right one to protest but also have

00:11:03.400 valid valid reasons to protest and valid concerns what it does is it opens the door to legitimate

00:11:09.120 attacks from politicians if the media says that these people are racist if the media says that

00:11:14.440 uh these protesters uh who have valid concerns are actually just um you know angry evil uh people

00:11:22.140 then of course what's going to happen is that politicians are going to take that

00:11:25.280 and use it um as an object to attack these protesters and even even i saw that i remember that during the

00:11:32.380 queens park protests um doug ford called the protesters many of whom were his supporters uh

00:11:38.920 yahoos and you know trudeau would go out and call them racists it's this is a very bad thing for the

00:11:45.520 media to be doing and it has real effects on society um so again it's it's it's become as you said

00:11:51.860 it's become the the standard operating procedure for the legacy media and i mean the past year has

00:11:57.140 made it as as plain as day well at least when they uh when when they so so jagmeet singh the ndp leader

00:12:04.920 he he was protested at a rally and then a few days later justin trudeau was supposedly the victim of

00:12:09.720 racism at least it sort of makes sense there's some internal logic when you saw the media you know

00:12:15.640 dismissing these conservative protesters as being racist when they were heckling jagmeet singh right

00:12:20.840 because he's indian uh when when it was just true it just made no sense but but but even that

00:12:25.180 secondary uh line of reasoning from legacy media that people who are protesting jagmeet singh must

00:12:31.200 have inherently been racist and you don't even need to say anything racist they don't need to

00:12:35.060 prove uh that that the people were motivated by racism purely by the fact that they had different

00:12:41.240 skin color therefore they had to be racist well the the media's narrative on this harrison didn't

00:12:47.140 really stand up because last weekend as reported by true north jagmeet singh had to flee an event in

00:12:52.700 brampton ontario because he was being hounded by sikh protesters so it turns out that jagmeet singh is

00:12:58.580 just not a very popular guy and there's a lot of anger and frustration against him across the country i

00:13:04.680 think a lot of it is because in canada we have a parliamentary democracy we elected a minority

00:13:09.700 government and the whole purpose is to have a separation of power of power and a balance of power whereby the

00:13:15.440 parties have to actually work together in order to pass legislation when jagmeet singh came out and

00:13:19.520 basically gave justin trudeau a blank check saying dear liberals we will support whatever you do and

00:13:25.160 we don't have anything back in return a lot of people felt betrayed uh liberal voters ndp voters and

00:13:30.620 conservative voters and i think even liberal voters uh felt betrayed by this union because it's not what

00:13:35.340 they voted for and so it turns out a lot of people are very angry about jagmeet singh people from

00:13:40.180 different backgrounds and so we saw this over the weekend last weekend when jagmeet singh

00:13:45.000 was again harassed and people were shouting at him in a very similar manner harrison as the people

00:13:51.600 were shouting at him the week before the only difference of course is that the first time it

00:13:55.940 was people who were mostly white who were sort of the media could easily dismiss them as being

00:14:01.260 whatever angry conservatives racist conservatives uh this time around when it was the sikh people who

00:14:05.640 were angry and and and harassing jagmeet singh the media didn't cover it at all they just pretended it

00:14:11.020 didn't exist they ignored it it didn't fit their narrative and therefore it just didn't exist

00:14:15.000 it didn't didn't crack into the legacy media well we have a clip of what it looked like for jagmeet

00:14:20.380 singh to be chased out of a rally in his own community in brampton's where he was originally

00:14:24.780 from and where he i believe his brother used to represent this area right up until last night when

00:14:29.460 he lost his seat but jagmeet singh chased out of a sikh event and unwilling to speak to his own

00:14:35.560 supporters this is what that clip looked like

00:14:37.940 hey yo don't be people don't be no questions we got questions we got questions man

00:14:44.800 get here though

00:14:45.480 relax

00:14:46.040 feet feet he's flat based the wrong kind

00:14:49.560 jagmeet i'm wearing a mask bro you gotta respect me

00:14:52.460 hey jagmeet don't sell out bro don't sell out

00:14:56.200 you sold out bro you sold out your quom quom means nation and punjabi so these people are saying

00:15:12.920 you sold this out again this is in reference to his policies his his decision to form an unholy

00:15:20.420 alliance with the liberals and prop up justin judo and his corrupt government and so people are angry

00:15:25.200 people of all different backgrounds including his own sikh people and yet media no not interested

00:15:31.120 in covering this what do you think harrison these are these are completely valid reasons for people

00:15:37.040 to be angry for people to feel like they were uh that they were let down by uh jagmeet singh now

00:15:42.800 there's so many great parts of that clip candace i mean some of the lines are hilarious jagmeet don't

00:15:47.740 run bro i'm wearing a mask you have to talk to me i mean it's just it really is it really is a

00:15:53.320 great clip in my opinion and and it's symbolic really it shows that this is the narrative that

00:15:58.020 the media is trying to paint about people who are upset with the government who are upset with

00:16:01.900 jagmeet singh and justin trudeau uh it just shows how wrong they are and going back candace to uh the

00:16:08.280 protest we covered last week on on fake news friday the media i guess hasn't caught on to the fact

00:16:14.780 that everyone now is a citizen journalist most people who go to these protests are live streaming

00:16:20.660 you just can't make things up right you can't just fabricate the truth and expect everyone to

00:16:26.260 just go along with it um because everyone's filming and this is a perfect example candace of just

00:16:31.740 how offside the media is when it comes to the reality of people being frustrated with this

00:16:37.140 government jagmeet singh has in many ways uh you know just proven to canadians that he's really just

00:16:44.460 in it to hold on to power to hold on to some sort of influence we know from the ndp that they're

00:16:49.640 not in a position to uh one challenge uh the government properly and they don't have the

00:16:54.940 finances to run it run an official campaign so instead of actually doing the job that he was

00:16:59.160 supposed to do he has now kind of folded in and folded in behind a really unpopular leader and one

00:17:04.540 last thing uh about this people have this was talked about during the ottawa protest but this is

00:17:10.380 still a reality the c community uh many of them drive trucks many of them are truck drivers that is a

00:17:15.980 that is a huge profession in brampton um so it led up to this perfect moment where jagmeet singh was

00:17:23.160 eventually going to get heckled out of his own hometown because of what he said about the trucker

00:17:27.680 protest because of the way he's reacted uh and it just all kind of came to uh came to the front now

00:17:33.320 at this protest and i think it was symbolic and his brother didn't even win his own riding

00:17:37.740 right i mean these people are really really furious and you can't spin it when it's all on video

00:17:42.900 exactly and yet i mean you can't spin it and so harrison they just don't cover it it just doesn't

00:17:49.280 it's like it didn't exist it's like if those are white protesters you know it would be the biggest

00:17:53.920 story in the country you know it would be plastered everywhere and the headline just like we saw two 0.94

00:17:58.260 weeks ago would be look at these horrible racists every fancy columnist over at the globe and mail

00:18:03.120 international post would be writing about it and clutching their pearls and and and talking about

00:18:08.160 how dangerous populism is uh but when it is seek protesters then no not not not important not

00:18:14.440 worth covering and so the media just leave it well we got one other protest story harrison that this is

00:18:21.020 just so typical of the establishment in canada so apparently the toronto airport authority wanted

00:18:27.940 to do some kind of an emergency drill of what it would look like if there was a protest at the airport

00:18:35.520 and so they paid a bunch of fake protesters a bunch of actors uh got paid to stage a fake protest at the

00:18:42.920 airport to see how the emergency response team over at pearson airport in toronto would react and and put

00:18:51.260 together of course the protest that they chose uh was a kind of like a freedom convoy uh makeup they they

00:19:00.280 they they basically replicated the idea of a freedom convoy they had all these people with with their fake uh

00:19:06.980 freedom signs and the whole thing was just a terrible mockery basically just a bunch of

00:19:12.500 people making fun of the working class essentially i don't i don't know what other way uh to put it but this

00:19:19.060 is this is what it looks like i think we have a clip of this one don't we harrison yeah we do uh yeah let's throw to

00:19:24.240 that clip because it's just really astonishing

00:19:26.220 a scene unfolded at pearson airport today that could have fooled onlookers

00:19:34.260 so today we're having in a mock emergency exercise happening so we're testing our response

00:19:44.100 to an emergency or security situation so we've got protesters in the back who have been very

00:19:50.300 enthusiastic uh about playing their roles and we've been testing our response to it yes as you

00:19:56.680 can see people both volunteers and airport employees getting into character for the fake protest the

00:20:02.140 exercise is actually a requirement by transport canada the gta says it's an important way to test

00:20:08.740 the airport's emergency response so at least they admitted that it was you know cvc didn't pretend like

00:20:16.940 it was a real protest or something like that but give me a break i mean what a waste of everybody's

00:20:21.480 time and again just like the just how quickly they'll be to go and and denigrate make fun of

00:20:28.440 the sort of protesters that they don't like i would i would i would love to see them do a fake airport

00:20:34.120 protest uh you know staged with a bunch of terrorists from the middle east or something like

00:20:38.820 that you know like people who've actually attacked airports in the past but but this this sort of

00:20:43.100 mock imaginary protest where they just get to dress up uh like their favorite trucker and pretend to

00:20:49.200 to to be like a huge threat to the pearson airport was just pretty pretty weird i don't know i don't

00:20:55.240 know how to describe it pretty strange well the i wrote on twitter when the clip came out i was

00:21:00.140 asking whether this was monty python or real life because it's just so just so ridiculous canis and i

00:21:06.520 mean where can we start i mean imagine so they just said that this was a part of transport canada

00:21:10.660 which also oversees canada's railways i doubt candace that there has ever been a mock protest

00:21:17.220 and i may be wrong but at this point i would doubt it there's ever been a mock protest of when for

00:21:22.100 example railroads are blockaded and they have to test how they respond to that because of course that

00:21:26.720 doesn't really play into the narrative but there there are some great shots in this in this video

00:21:30.880 of course first of all the the spokesperson for the protest said that everyone was very enthusiastic

00:21:36.120 i would say that they were slightly they slightly missed part of the character because they're all

00:21:40.840 wearing masks which is just so so typical and here we go the the shot of the protest a man wearing a mask

00:21:49.600 saying masks are abuse and there's a trump 2024 sign in there uh it's it's really just the ultimate

00:21:56.140 uh first of all it's the ultimate mockery of of what i would consider the you know the working class 1.00

00:22:00.460 right they put all these signs they made all these fake signs um you know just it's just it's just

00:22:07.360 embarrassing and of course i'm not sure if these were actors candace or if they were actually uh

00:22:12.240 pearson airport staff and if anyone has been paying attention to what's been going on in regards to

00:22:17.800 transportation in canada pearson airport has been an absolute disaster they've been unable to uh clear

00:22:24.460 security lines they've been unable to uh keep travelers moving it's becoming it's becoming a huge problem

00:22:30.020 for them and even blog to wrote about this and said that it was a terrible idea because they're

00:22:37.380 basically shutting down a significant part of the airport which is already undergoing ridiculous delays

00:22:42.700 because for some reason canada is still holding on to these unbelievably you know punitive travel

00:22:48.760 restrictions that really just target specifically people that are opposed to just from trudeau so

00:22:53.440 there's so much to get into this even blog to you the the uh the the liberals you could say

00:22:58.860 like we had blog to you even they took shots at it because it really was just a stunning display of

00:23:04.020 of i don't know i don't know what to call it like you said i i think it's just really a mockery of of

00:23:09.860 people who have legitimate and real frustrations with the government well and and like how how

00:23:15.980 astonishingly out of touch are these people but they're like okay we're in the midst of this really

00:23:21.260 hectic travel situation where people are finally starting to want to go travel again so airports are

00:23:26.620 busier but you know we have a confluence of all of these issues in toronto where the feds just voted

00:23:32.260 trudeau just voted to extend travel restrictions um the airlines laid off a bunch of ground staff

00:23:37.660 during the pandemic and a lot of them haven't been hired back so they don't have enough people

00:23:41.140 to unload the the planes which mean that people have to stay on the planes a lot longer uh cbsa and

00:23:46.380 the border control guards are dealing with increased volume of having to deal with you know people's

00:23:51.120 paperwork in compliance with covid rules so it's like all this stuff's going on and and you have

00:23:55.860 these sort of fat cat airport executives being like you know we should do this week let's let's

00:24:00.760 stage a fake trump protest like let's let's just get a bunch of people out there and you know they

00:24:06.980 can they can your point is so funny that they're all wearing masks you're outside you're outside you're

00:24:13.920 not going to get covid outside you take the bloody masks off and you know the whole the whole mockery on

00:24:20.560 top of it like at least get at least get into character please like if you're gonna go if you're

00:24:25.120 gonna do this at least take the mask off if you're gonna hold the sign that says masks are masks are

00:24:30.480 abuse and no masks then just please do us all a favor and at least get into character so that they

00:24:37.200 can at least prepare and one more thing as well after this protest the government voted to extend travel

00:24:43.740 measures and and you know what sooner or later if they keep this going they are going to get protests

00:24:48.880 at airports because people are going to be people are already at their end but this is just putting

00:24:55.220 fuel on the fire candace um and and people are going to show up at airports because quite frankly

00:25:00.520 what's going on is is ridiculous it's not even based in any science anymore liberal mps are speaking

00:25:05.600 up about it it's it's crumbling on them and they're and they're still holding on so yeah you've got

00:25:11.680 you've got you've got airport security and cbsa uh blaming it on the on the government government's

00:25:17.740 blaming it on the airports it's a total disaster so yeah they just must have must have picked the

00:25:22.220 perfect time candace to run this fake protest well they're just so out of touch in so many ways and

00:25:28.720 i think you're right you're kind of giving people ideas about like going and protesting the airports

00:25:33.040 i think i think that trudeau definitely deserves criticism though and and the whole idea of extending

00:25:39.260 the restrictions at this point just seems vindictive it's like they don't want to admit

00:25:43.780 that their policies didn't work trudeau said over and over again during the election and since

00:25:48.100 that vaccines are the only way out of the pandemic he doesn't want to admit that that was a failed

00:25:53.560 flawed strategy a flawed approach so he's just sort of gripping to it being vindictive and definitely

00:26:00.100 worthy of criticism well harrison there's other criticism coming towards prime minister justin true

00:26:05.040 this week coming from the former finance minister bill morneau so bill morneau recently unleashed

00:26:10.600 against justin trudeau for those who don't know former uh finance minister bill morneau was the

00:26:16.580 finance minister in the trudeau liberal government from 2015 to 2020 and he delivered a pointed critique

00:26:22.920 of the liberal economic policies as well as recommendations for kick-starting growth in

00:26:28.020 his first public speech since leaving political life two years ago he left political life in the midst

00:26:32.940 of scandal because he was part of the whole we charity scandal where his his family members his

00:26:39.220 daughter uh were involved in that organization that charity and he didn't uh clearly you know

00:26:45.080 recuse himself from decisions about the we charity interesting how the finance minister gets canned

00:26:50.660 the prime minister who had much more of a conflict of interest and was much more deeply entrenched in

00:26:56.820 this scandal uh he just kind of walked away so so morneau gets thrown under the bus trudeau comes out

00:27:02.780 with unscathed uh because of his friends in the media largely well anyway morneau is back and he's he's

00:27:09.040 not he's not holding anything back really he the the criticisms are are pretty damning um saying that

00:27:16.080 you know too much time and energy is spent on ways of redistributing wealth in canada and little

00:27:21.520 attention is given to the importance of increasing our collective prosperity you know we know from the last

00:27:26.660 budget that that canada is projected to have the lowest growth in the g7 uh really our finances

00:27:32.700 are a mess and i wasn't a big fan of bill morneau when he was justin trudeau's finance minister

00:27:37.560 but he was a serious person he was a grown-up he did have a background in finance and he you know

00:27:43.580 compared to what we have now those early days of the trudeau government that first term seems like

00:27:48.920 a term of fiscal restraint uh compared to the absolutely insane spending that we've been going

00:27:54.560 through so interesting to see that you know trudeau's trying to defend himself um but this this other

00:27:59.580 interesting story got dug up and i want to mention only because this is an issue that i was incredibly

00:28:05.360 critical of at the time so so since morneau's criticisms of trudeau on finances have come out

00:28:11.100 there's a speech that he delivered back in february in washington that was mostly overlooked at the time

00:28:16.740 but he uh morneau is talking about a specific incident with the trudeau government and more broadly

00:28:22.380 about the what he calls a tumultuous era um of canada u.s relations during the trump presidency

00:28:29.280 you can see here canada shouldn't have used trump as a punching bag and so morneau was speaking down

00:28:34.680 at johns hopkins school of advanced international studies uh giving a lecture he's he's now a

00:28:39.140 professor down at yale university so he's living in the u.s he's giving a lot of these speeches

00:28:43.260 and he said look in canada uh what we were doing at the time was reflecting the reality which was that

00:28:50.140 trump wasn't very popular in canada that most canadians didn't support trump didn't like what

00:28:54.280 he was doing and so trudeau used that as a punching bag we saw that throughout even the 2019

00:28:58.680 election it was like rather than running against indor sheer the conservative leader

00:29:02.080 trudeau was kind of running against trump and and the media always painted it that way they always

00:29:07.360 you know focus so much on trump stories and trump news and it was always leading you know whatever the

00:29:12.660 latest trump scandal was that was a top story on cbc the trudeau scandals were always sort of buried

00:29:17.660 down in the back or at the end of the the end of the coverage well uh one specific story that that

00:29:23.860 bill morneau was talking about was something that i wrote about because at the time i was

00:29:27.840 kind of gobsmacked and dumbfounded that that the trudeau government would do this so christia

00:29:32.660 freeland who is a former journalist and she is now our finance minister she took over from bill

00:29:37.380 morneau uh she was the foreign affairs minister the rookie foreign affairs minister she was an

00:29:42.220 outspoken critic of trump well they gave her an award so she was awarded diplomat of the year

00:29:49.020 by foreign policy magazine which is sort of a blue chip top-notch foreign policy journal or used to be

00:29:55.500 anyway um anyway so she she goes to accept this ward harrison and she unleashes this like bizarre 0.99

00:30:02.660 rant about true about trump sorry and and and the resistance movement and she called him anti-democratic

00:30:09.400 and an angry populist um so so you can see my story i wrote about it in september 2018

00:30:15.460 uh really how embarrassing that that our foreign affairs minister would go to the foreign capital the

00:30:22.640 capital of our closest ally the united states and rip on the president uh i thought it was so i thought

00:30:29.100 it was just she showed utter contempt to our allies and it was so disrespectful it was so unbelievable

00:30:35.300 and ironic because she was being awarded with the award of top diplomat and here she is giving this

00:30:41.020 incredibly undiplomatic speech where she called trump a demagogue and accused him of scapegoating the

00:30:47.400 outsider the other the immigrants uh as well as trading partners and the media in canada just sort of

00:30:53.720 applauded and and you know praised her and and said wow she's so brave well it turns out as i as i wrote

00:31:00.760 about in that column in the toronto sun our american colleagues didn't didn't like it they didn't like it

00:31:06.760 and so apparently uh bill morneau is is close friends with uh former uh a secretary of state

00:31:13.800 steven um newton and basically he talked about how newton was incredibly disappointed and and basically

00:31:22.360 he called he called bill or no apparently he said bill how would you feel if i went to ottawa gave a

00:31:26.860 speech criticizing your government to the people who largely are your opposition didn't bother calling

00:31:31.380 you and then flew back to washington the next day but morneau added that's not really the way you have

00:31:36.900 an effective partnership absolutely this is so obvious harrison and yeah at the time again the media in

00:31:42.160 canada rather than holding our politicians accountable and saying this is incredibly reckless

00:31:46.540 it's damaging it's going to damage your trade relationship it's going to damage your ability

00:31:50.260 uh to to get anything done which it did um you know our media were cheering them on and now four

00:31:56.300 years later with clarity of mind bill morneau was like i can't believe we did that that was insane 0.96

00:32:00.380 that was so stupid and the media are like yeah yeah that was probably a mistake it's it's all so 0.98

00:32:05.020 ridiculous yeah and and again canada and i imagine uh trudeau freeland morneau they knew what 1.00

00:32:12.080 they were up against obviously i think it's uh i think uh mnuchin was treasury secretary i know

00:32:17.100 that the trade ambassador at the time bob lightheiser was was well known for his negotiation skills and

00:32:23.960 and trump of course as well so they knew what they were up against and the whole the whole trade

00:32:28.860 negotiations was about the nafta deal but the the new nafta deal which is absolutely key to

00:32:34.860 canada's economy uh they are our number one trading partner if canada doesn't get that negotiation right

00:32:40.820 it'll be hugely detrimental to canadians and instead of instead of trying to approach it

00:32:44.900 diplomatically instead of trying to approach the u.s president at the time as a president not as a

00:32:50.360 political opponent um that was what needed to happen uh and clearly that's not what happened um

00:32:56.840 and i think morneau is absolutely right here crazy to say that i i agree with bill morneau on something

00:33:02.300 but in this instance i i absolutely do um freeland trudeau that entire team basically put politics

00:33:09.500 over the people they put their own political ambitions of trying to dunk on trump uh for their

00:33:14.600 own supporters over the over the betterment of the canadian economy which was to get a good deal

00:33:19.520 for canadians if you remember uh you know right after right after trump was elected i'm pretty sure

00:33:24.860 he took a look at at the deal that at nafta and and noticed that it was not in america's favor

00:33:30.960 so he was going to basically rip it up and try and find new ways to put it in in america's favor

00:33:35.900 so canada had an obligation to approach this and get something good for canadians clearly it angered

00:33:42.520 americans and rightly so i think uh what mnuchin said in that in that uh from morneau is right if if

00:33:48.980 if uh mike pence or someone like that came to canada and just dunked on trudeau didn't say anything

00:33:54.840 and left it'd be horrible it would be horrible for for the canadian governments from the canadian

00:33:59.380 government perspective so it's absolutely right and i think it's clear that these people in

00:34:04.440 trudeau's cabinet were clearly just looking for ways to dunk on trump and they saw it as a political

00:34:09.280 opportunity not as an actual chance to strengthen canada's economy which is just a shame you're

00:34:15.240 right yeah and thanks for the question i said secretary of state uh steve mnuchin was a treasury

00:34:19.340 secretary but but it wasn't like this was without consequences right you you're right to acknowledge

00:34:24.440 that trump ripped up nafta and canada was like begging at the like the the you know 11th hour

00:34:30.540 please let us back in to this this partnership and trump was sort of going towards mexico saying okay

00:34:35.240 we're going to do our own deal over here we were also had trump uh imposing steel and aluminum

00:34:41.320 tariffs on canada that so so again you have the the the liberal government that is so focused on

00:34:48.020 scoring cheap political points dunking on what they see as their political uh adversaries

00:34:53.940 conservatives republicans in the u.s the media cheering them on not holding them accountable

00:34:58.500 not saying hey wait a minute guys this is probably pretty irresponsible and you know it takes four

00:35:04.280 years later uh for someone in the trudeau government to acknowledge like wow it is amateur hour over at the

00:35:10.820 uh federal government in part in ottawa parliament these people are not grown-ups that they're they're

00:35:16.480 completely superficial and immature and the fact that that freeland would go and do this and again

00:35:22.540 you know she still hasn't really received much criticism or uh repercussions you know you still

00:35:30.820 don't see much about it in the media maybe maybe a little bit here and there but it's it's really

00:35:34.280 incredible and yeah i i i'm not i wasn't a big fan of bill morneau when he was the finance minister 0.94

00:35:39.940 i think he made a lot of stupid uh choices including throwing canada into deficit spending but 0.91

00:35:44.900 he he's he's sounding a lot more sane uh now that he's been two years removed from the trudeau 0.99

00:35:50.900 government well there's something there's something wrong with i don't know if it's something in the in

00:35:55.700 the water over at liberal party headquarters harrison but it's like as soon as you become a liberal mp

00:36:00.940 you just your mind gets poisoned um and and you turn into like a woke robot so uh you know i i know that

00:36:09.000 for this week uh there's a big launch down in the u.s our friends of the daily wire uh launched their

00:36:14.520 own uh documentary called what is a woman where matt walsh just basically goes around asking this very

00:36:20.080 simple question what is a woman and he really uh unearths and and shines a light on the very perverse 0.67

00:36:26.140 woke ideology that has inflicted uh so many places and the whole gender ideology uh well well it's not

00:36:33.560 just happening in the u.s it's happening in canada we have firsthand evidence this week um a liberal mp

00:36:40.360 the uh parliamentary secretary for the minister of women and gender equality or sorry gender equity

00:36:46.760 uh jenna sudds uh oh sorry no that's that's not who gave the speech hold on uh who gave the speech

00:36:54.100 here that's right liberal mp pam damoff she delivered a speech in the house of commons this is like i quote 0.85

00:37:01.800 celebrating vaginas and vulvas day this is imagine getting up to deliver a speech in the house of commons 0.95

00:37:08.060 in parliament the house of our democracy um and and making a speech like this we're going to play it for you 0.96

00:37:13.840 it's a little long it's very cringy uh but this is a state of political discourse from the liberal side

00:37:19.580 of the aisle in canada here's that clip 0.99

00:37:21.380 vaginas and vulvas are a source of strength empowerment and pleasure yet throughout our lives we've been taught 0.97

00:37:30.080 that the terms vulva and vagina do not have a place in polite conversation that's one more way that the 0.83

00:37:36.200 bodies of over half the world's population are stigmatized sexualized and objectified with the

00:37:42.060 recent news in the united states regarding roe versus wade conversations about sexual and reproductive

00:37:47.440 health are more important than ever and it starts here on parliament hill we need to reclaim space 0.97

00:37:53.320 in health research politics policy making at the doctor's office to celebrate the power of vulvas and vaginas 0.99

00:38:01.020 it's 2022 and we shouldn't be embarrassed or ashamed to talk about our bodies

00:38:05.680 join me the mps from winnipeg center saanich gulf islands shefford senator mcfedran and action canada

00:38:13.280 as we jointly host a celebration on may 31st to reclaim the conversation 0.93

00:38:18.680 and celebrate vulvas and vaginas as powerful and important

00:38:23.360 what and they all cheer and they all celebrate and my point i made on twitter was notice how she

00:38:34.240 doesn't say women like they they they come to separate the human body from the actual gender 1.00

00:38:39.680 and sex that's why i talk about nat walsh's documentary because this is all part of the gender

00:38:44.520 equity equality documentary uh sorry ideology that that these people are pushing they don't want to

00:38:50.780 use the word woman because they don't even want to describe what a woman is and so instead you have

00:38:54.560 this creepy spectacle of this woman i i don't even i don't even know what to make of it harrison it's

00:39:01.260 just that these it's like a cult these people are part of a cult and you know the things that they

00:39:06.080 want to celebrate the things that they want attention for just really that's that's that's no place in

00:39:12.060 our parliament that's not what we should be talking about when we stand up to give political speeches

00:39:16.120 in the house of commons yeah i mean kenneth that that's like a 30 second clip and it feels like

00:39:21.340 goes on for so long it's so painful so i have to apologize to our audience for even showing that

00:39:26.380 but really it's important to watch because i think it just shows candace how fundamentally unserious

00:39:32.440 the liberal government is and how performative it is and how it's really just about riding the woke

00:39:38.120 wave and if it goes if it goes to the conversation about not saying women then they're going to go

00:39:43.320 there if it goes to protesting with blm they're going to go there it's all performative for them

00:39:47.740 it's just they're just they're just not serious at all and this is this is evident not only in just

00:39:52.400 that clip because it's not the first time candace that they've talked about these sorts of issues

00:39:57.100 and and they've refused to even say the word woman because this is just i guess the modern state of

00:40:02.740 of the left in both canada and the united states um i mean i here here it is we can we can pull this

00:40:09.040 up but in the latest budget candace there was a line item about piloting a menstrual equity fund

00:40:16.480 for those in need uh and again i just want to make sure oh at least in the budget they do mention

00:40:22.860 women but the title the title is for those in need menstrual equity for those in need um this is just

00:40:29.820 not a serious government candace and we already knew that well and it does say women girls trans

00:40:35.140 and non-binary canadians so they had to include the whole rubrics of all the different types of 0.93

00:40:40.040 people who get their period because it's no longer just women and girls according to the lunatics who 0.95

00:40:45.040 run our government and we we've seen this before uh it was the um you know they uh theresa tam the

00:40:54.060 chief medical officer in canada last year just awkwardly and embarrassingly referred to pregnant

00:41:01.080 and breastfeeding people not not women people because all people can get pregnant and all people

00:41:07.440 could breastfeed according to those in the liberal cult um and so it would be yeah to to to insult the 0.98

00:41:16.980 the men that that breastfeed and are pregnant i i mean i can't i can't frankly imagine a worse thing 0.99

00:41:21.980 for the government to do than insult those very important uh voting bloc for the liberals well and

00:41:27.760 so while our liberal elites and overlords are completely denigrating women and trying to erase 1.00

00:41:32.920 women from the public square there has been some shocking research uh that canada's fertility rates

00:41:39.240 reached a record low in 2020 so this was sort of something a lot of people saw coming that that there

00:41:45.100 would be the opposite of a baby boom during the pandemic that people parents would decide that there

00:41:49.580 was too much economic uncertainty and that we wouldn't have uh as many babies being born well

00:41:55.160 that has poured out through stats so stats can uh confirm that that in uh 2020 fertility rate fell

00:42:03.020 from 1.47 children per women in 2019 down to 1.4 in 2020 uh fertility rates have been static steadily

00:42:10.560 declining in in canada since 2009 and we're sort of bottoming out reaching rock bottom i i had to

00:42:17.380 include this story harrison because this individual here susan mcdaniel who is a professor of sociology

00:42:23.280 the university of victoria she she actually celebrates this rather than seeing this as the

00:42:29.340 sort of real damaging um the sort of end of civilization threat that it poses that the lack

00:42:37.080 of fertility rates in this country the fact that people are not having families that that women are

00:42:41.600 men are choosing to forego marriage uh they're choosing to delay choosing to wait many of them are

00:42:46.960 choosing not to have children at all some of them ideologically because they oppose human beings

00:42:51.980 and they don't want to worsen what they consider climate change um or or just people unable to find

00:42:58.680 a life partner and find that meaning and take that plunge into adulthood by having a family uh that more

00:43:05.060 and more canadians are forgoing that uh again most people would see that as something really sad

00:43:09.760 there's something really wrong in our society that we need to address and we need to confront

00:43:13.760 we need to change uh well well here is ctv has found a professor to say the exact opposite

00:43:19.580 this is a good trend this is a good trend so we'll go back to susan mcdaniel the professor

00:43:25.300 she said the trend is for lower birth rates worldwide and she basically just says this is a

00:43:31.200 good trend basically it's better for children if there are fewer children it's better for parents if

00:43:36.280 there are fewer children it's better for society and it's better for the planet and everything else so

00:43:41.180 let's just go through this because this is so absurd and so again counterintuitive how on earth

00:43:47.160 is it better for children if there's fewer children do you know what little kids love other little kids

00:43:52.160 they love kids to play with they love cousins and neighbors and siblings and friends like the more

00:43:57.160 kids in a community the better i have a three-year-old and a one-year-old and their favorite things that

00:44:02.540 they do is go out to play dates go out to messy tots we used to have a mom and tot group in our church

00:44:08.200 basement and then covid put an end to that and it was really really hard on my son because he loved

00:44:12.600 going every week to see his little friends and all of a sudden he couldn't little kids love being

00:44:17.000 around other little kids so the fact there are fewer children is not better for children despite

00:44:21.440 what the sociologist says it's better for parents she says it's better for parents if there are fewer

00:44:25.660 children how on earth is that the case most women when polled in canada say that they want to have 0.75

00:44:30.840 more children that they would have more children if they could afford it or if they had different

00:44:34.980 financial circumstances um most women say that they would that if they were asked how many children

00:44:40.740 would they have an ideal world most women say three three three children is what they say that they 0.98

00:44:45.060 want um instead we see 1.4 children per women so so the exact opposite of what this woman is saying 1.00

00:44:51.640 it's not better for children it's not better for parents it's certainly not better for grandparents

00:44:54.640 grandparents are the ones that want grandchildren the most they want more children uh so many of the

00:44:59.680 people i talk to who have um kids that are you know in their 20s or 30s a lot of them mentioned

00:45:05.580 to me like oh you know i can't wait for my um child to have kids that's i can't wait for grandkids i hear

00:45:11.820 that so often everyone wants more kids and and the whole idea better for society better the planet

00:45:17.400 uh try to circle that square with the idea these are the same people who are in favor of open borders

00:45:23.420 and mass immigration right they want more people in canada we need more people in canada from an

00:45:27.420 economic perspective um and yet they just don't want them to be canadian grown so i thought that

00:45:32.420 that was one of the most despicable quotes that i have ever seen from a legacy media outlet saying

00:45:38.100 that having fewer kids is better for everyone no it is not that is not true don't listen to

00:45:43.680 sociology professors they will ruin our society and make everybody miserable what do you think harrison

00:45:48.760 well i think most sociology professors are probably exactly aligned with what that woman 1.00

00:45:53.580 uh was saying and this is not a question of sociology this is a question of of uh for doctors

00:45:59.920 and for economists because that's really what it is but candace there's two things i think we should

00:46:04.120 talk about with this the first is as you said the immigration side of things in the article they even

00:46:08.860 put that there the sociology professor says our population is growing but it's for it's because

00:46:13.340 of immigration that's a good thing um but it's not good for canadians to have more kids 0.98

00:46:17.760 i think that's that's that's important to note that's important part of their plan and of course

00:46:22.900 the second part is that this conversation wouldn't be right if we didn't talk about the fact that

00:46:27.700 all of these policies the going back to the policies where they are denying uh the women and and erasing

00:46:35.060 women uh encouraging abortions uh you can go down the list candace the left are putting forward

00:46:41.740 policies that are tailored to this outcome that are tailored to having fewer or having uh lower birth

00:46:48.360 rates that's an important part of the conversation and i think the media is now veering into the

00:46:52.820 position of of promoting professors that are that are basically outlining exactly why it's good to have

00:46:59.080 less kids and and why we need to increase immigration those are two important parts that that really

00:47:03.880 this is the outcome of policies put forward by the political left this is exactly what's going to come

00:47:09.740 from it um and i think clearly it is not good for parents it is not good for other kids and it is

00:47:14.460 just not good for the country it's interesting because when it comes to sort of natalist policies

00:47:19.320 most people don't want to talk about it the media barely picks up on it the only time the media ever

00:47:24.140 talks about this issue is when there's studies like this that come out that show a decline in birth

00:47:28.560 rate a historic decline numbers like i said have been going down steadily and and yet they put like

00:47:34.040 this positive spin it's it's so it's so creepy and weird and and anti-human fundamentally and i again

00:47:41.080 i think most canadians would be happier with more children most canadians in their want more kids in

00:47:46.720 their community want more kids in their family want more kids uh for their own and so again uh don't

00:47:53.060 listen to university professors they will make you miserable and ruin everything so i think i think

00:47:58.500 that's that's a good way to sum up the show this week uh harrison so i appreciate it and uh thanks

00:48:05.560 thanks for joining us it's been uh fun as usual and uh yeah it when it comes to fake news there's
