The Candice Malcolm Show - Poilievre DOUBLES DOWN on hawkish immigration stance + Safety Minister advocates for TERRORIST

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning

00:00:07.640 in, folks. We have a great episode for you today. Now, I don't know if it's just me,

00:00:11.900 maybe because I'm a journalist and I host this podcast and I run Juno News. It seems

00:00:16.500 like everyone I talk to, every conversation, every time I go out for lunch with friends

00:00:19.920 or meet up with someone, talk to someone, even catching up online, the issue comes forward

00:00:25.680 that Canada's broken, that there is serious problems in our country. They're wide-ranging.

00:00:31.240 We discuss so many of the topics here on the show, but to me, it all comes back to immigration.

00:00:37.540 Canada's immigration system has been destroyed. It has been decimated by the Trudeau Liberals,

00:00:43.500 and it seems to me that the Carney government is just continuing down the same path. They have no

00:00:48.960 real plan to fix things. And so, from my perspective, the thing that the Conservatives need to do

00:00:55.140 is craft a strong message on immigration, craft a better message, put forth a better position

00:01:01.360 to change, have more distance between them and the Liberals. And it's just so easy, right? All it

00:01:07.120 takes is just say, let's go back to how things were before Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister and

00:01:12.820 flung the doors wide open. Well, we didn't see enough on that front from Pierre Pauly of the

00:01:18.220 Conservative leader during the recent federal election, but there have been some good signs, folks.

00:01:23.200 There have been some positive signs that he is willing to take on this thorny issue, that he wants

00:01:29.400 changes, that he sees the same problems that you and I see, that so many of the problems in our

00:01:33.960 country come back to this broken immigration system. So, I want to walk you through what has 0.83

00:01:39.120 happened. So, back in June, on June 10th, Pierre Pauly of was asked specifically his take on Bill C-2,

00:01:45.460 that is the Mark Carney government's bill, to crack down on fentanyl and drug smuggling.

00:01:50.800 And there's a couple of provisions in there to crack down on fake asylum seekers, people who come 1.00

00:01:55.600 to the country, they overstay their visa, and then rather than going home, rather than leaving the 0.92

00:02:00.900 country when they should, they just throw up their hands and say, actually, I'm a refugee. They put in 0.99

00:02:04.720 an asylum claim. So, Mark Carney is taking a few steps to address this very small area of our

00:02:11.140 immigration law. Pierre Pauly of was asked about that policy, about Bill C-2. And I'm going to show you

00:02:17.800 what he said because it was actually quite good. I think that he took a step further than we'd heard

00:02:22.180 him take during the federal election. He basically said, look, Canada needs severe limits on our

00:02:27.880 population growth. 100% we do. So, let's play that clip.

00:02:31.880 You support a stronger border. We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage

00:02:38.520 the Liberals did to our system. The population has been growing out of control. Our borders have

00:02:44.520 been left wide open. This has caused the free flow of drugs.

00:02:47.880 So, Pierre Pauly of does correctly diagnose the problem that with severe open borders, we've seen severe

00:02:55.960 population growth, not intentional, not the native born population, growing the population as you should

00:03:01.560 through, you know, people having children and growing the population naturally, but by importing people from 0.82

00:03:07.400 all over the world, including people, frankly, who have no business being in Canada, people who are not enriching our

00:03:12.040 country or making it better. And so, what happened when Pierre Pauly of made that comment? Well, the legacy

00:03:17.720 media, the Laurentian elites, absolutely lost their minds, right? They flipped out. Here is the headline

00:03:23.560 from Global News. Pauly of calls for severe limits on population growth. Everybody's favorite grumpy

00:03:31.480 Laurentian elite, Andrew Coyne of the Globe and Mail and of the CBC writes this on X. He goes, he's panicking.

00:03:39.320 This is awful. Okay, Andrew Coyne, can you tell me exactly what is awful about a conservative leader

00:03:49.160 saying, hey, population growth is out of control because the Trudeau liberals have absolutely no

00:03:54.680 controls on our immigration system. And so, yeah, we need to get that out of control. I don't think

00:03:59.400 Pierre Pauly of is panicking. And no, I don't think it's awful. I think that he's actually finally

00:04:03.960 hitting the nail on the head and talking about the real problem in the country and the source of that

00:04:09.000 real problem. It wasn't just Andrew Coyne. Here we have David Gordon Cook, who is the head of the

00:04:14.840 New Brunswick Media Co-op, a social justice reporter here, saying this is just pathetic 0.97

00:04:21.320 race baiting. It's race baiting now to notice that our immigration system is broken. So just noticing 0.97

00:04:28.360 that the Trudeau government took a fairly functioning immigration system where we let in about a quarter

00:04:33.800 million people a year to flinging open the doors wide open, letting in somewhere between two and 0.87

00:04:38.760 three million people a year, just noticing that apparently is pathetic race baiting. Finally, 0.92

00:04:44.280 we have the former liberal immigration minister, Justin Trudeau's immigration minister, one of the

00:04:49.000 people who is actually at fault here. This is what he wrote on X. He says, Pauly of is flailing after

00:04:55.320 his call for severe limits on Canada's immigration. And yes, there is a clip that goes along with that.

00:05:00.840 So let's play that clip. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, anybody who has eyes and has

00:05:21.080 access to the internet has probably seen some of the videos that circulate online showing some of the

00:05:27.560 cultural problems that happen from open mass immigration. And look, we can look up the numbers,

00:05:31.960 right? We can check out Stats Canada. We can check out the immigration website to see that,

00:05:37.240 yes, the liberal government has led in tremendous amounts of people from the developing world,

00:05:43.000 and it is growing much, much faster than it had previously. We'll get to all those numbers

00:05:47.720 in just a few minutes. But I wanted to, that's all leading us up to what happened this week.

00:05:52.760 So after that comment from Pierre Polyev in Ottawa, he's been in Alberta, he's been at the

00:05:58.120 Calgary Stampede, he's been campaigning in the by-election. Well, he was back in Ottawa,

00:06:02.840 and I believe this is the first time he was in front of the Ottawa Press Gallery, having a press

00:06:08.120 conference since that initial event. And so you know that Ottawa journalists, they all hate conservatives,

00:06:13.320 they all hate Pierre Polyev, and they're all just waiting for their turn to try to give a gotcha

00:06:18.280 question. I gotcha moment. And so we had that yesterday. Paul Dutch from Global News made the

00:06:23.480 comment saying, you know, you previously said that you wanted severe limits on population growth in

00:06:28.760 Canada. Can you go ahead and clarify what you mean by that? And here is how Pierre Polyev responded.

00:06:34.760 To fix the problem, we've got to have, we need to put very hard caps on immigration levels. We need more 1.00

00:06:42.840 people leaving than coming for the next couple of years. And we need to, so our country can actually

00:06:49.080 catch up. Our immigration policy should invite the right people and the right numbers in a way that

00:06:56.440 puts Canada and Canadians first. 0.99

00:06:58.840 A hundred percent. So Pierre Polyev has doubled down. He has ignored what the legacy media have said.

00:07:04.440 He's ignored what the fancy people, what the Andrew Coyne types have said, all the pearl clutching,

00:07:08.680 like, oh my goodness, you can't talk about immigration. How dare you even mention that we

00:07:13.000 lower the population rather than constantly grow the population through immigration.

00:07:16.840 And Pierre Polyev is doing the right thing. He's doubling down and saying, no, I didn't

00:07:20.520 just misspeak last time when I had that press conference. I was being deliberate. This is a

00:07:24.680 deliberate shift in policy for the conservatives. They are saying enough is enough. We cannot have

00:07:30.120 mass immigration when we're dealing with all of the problems that we are dealing with today. 0.90

00:07:34.600 All right, folks, to help me dive into this a little deeper, I'm pleased to be joined by

00:07:37.640 Wyatt Claypool. He is a political commentator, founder of the National Telegraph. Wyatt,

00:07:42.040 welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.

00:07:44.040 Absolutely. Thanks for having me on.

00:07:45.720 Well, we have some exciting news as well. Wyatt will be joining Juno News as a contributor,

00:07:49.880 as a show host starting later this week. I believe you're filming your first episode

00:07:53.960 with us at some point this week. So, Wyatt, we're very excited to have you joining the network.

00:07:57.880 Yeah, it could be a lot of fun or it could be a complete disaster,

00:08:01.240 but that's on you for making the decision.

00:08:03.240 Right on. Okay, well, what do you make of Pierre Polyev and this apparent shift,

00:08:08.600 I think in the right direction, doubling down on his comments and saying, no, no,

00:08:12.600 we do need to severely limit immigration in Canada. What do you think?

00:08:16.200 Well, it's not just Pierre Polyev rejecting the sort of conventional wisdom of Andrew Coyne types and

00:08:22.760 the rest of the legacy media and the political establishment. It's also him apparently rejecting

00:08:28.760 the, I guess, the opinions of his advisors during the election because he ran on a cap of 200,000,

00:08:35.240 250,000 new permanent residents to match the number of new houses being built per year,

00:08:40.760 but that didn't even exactly limit new temporary foreign workers or foreign students. So this is a

00:08:46.920 big shift and I think it's actually a very big win for the independent media and online commentators,

00:08:52.600 because I don't think you could find any conservative commentator or independent media outlet who liked

00:08:59.080 the more mild reductions that he was pitching during the election. It was better than what the

00:09:04.840 liberals were doing. So naturally it was still way more, you know, it was, it was preferable,

00:09:10.200 but this is genuinely probably what we were all asking for. People must leave if their visas are

00:09:16.760 expired and who cares if the population goes down, if people currently can't even afford homes.

00:09:22.280 Well, it's kind of funny because during the election, there was sort of a lot of noises in

00:09:27.080 the independent space about how Mark Wiseman, the head of the Century Initiative had joined

00:09:31.720 Mark Carney's campaign. And of course the Century Initiative is this sort of like liberal think tank

00:09:36.600 that they want to deliberately increase our country's population to 100 million by the end of

00:09:42.040 the century, which is just so shockingly, it's such a shocking change, right? Like a hundred million,

00:09:48.360 it won't be Canada anymore, right? It will just be a hodgepodge of all these other people who have not

00:09:52.840 assimilated into Canada, right? Like when I was growing up, Canada's population was 30 million.

00:09:56.920 Now it's 40 million, right? We've boosted that population by 10 million in the last, I don't know,

00:10:01.800 15, 20 years. And is the country any better for, I don't know, but I would argue the country is a

00:10:08.120 lot worse than it was 15, 20 years ago. But the idea was that the media and the liberal party,

00:10:13.160 they didn't want anything to do with that association. They distanced themselves from it. In fact,

00:10:16.920 legacy media said that it was propagandistic and fake news to say that the liberals wanted that

00:10:22.280 100 million population. And yet when Pierre Polyev just says the exact opposite, that no, no,

00:10:26.520 we need to decrease our population, again, pearl clutching. So it kind of proves the theory that no,

00:10:31.320 they do want, like the goal here is to drastically increase Canada's population. They want that. I mean,

00:10:36.760 maybe it won't be 100 million, but they want a bigger population. They want to artificially

00:10:41.320 boost our population. And I just want to show viewers exactly what we're talking about, because the

00:10:45.320 Fraser Institute earlier this summer had a report just outlining what we're talking about. So the

00:10:51.480 headline was the average annual immigration was 617,000 on average from 2000 to 2015, compared to

00:10:59.320 1.4 million from 2016 to 2024. So Justin Trudeau almost grew it by 3x. And let's just look at that

00:11:07.720 breakdown. There's a graph showing the types of people that are coming. And so folks, the bottom blue line

00:11:13.800 there is the number of permanent residents that come to Canada. So people who deliberately want 0.99

00:11:18.520 to come move their families to Canada, settle here, become Canadian essentially, be on a pathway towards

00:11:25.240 Canadian citizen. I think that generally speaking, those are the kinds of people that we want, people

00:11:29.240 who want to come to Canada and, you know, be part of our future and be part of the Canadian community.

00:11:35.480 And then the second color on top of that, the pink, are temporary or non-permanent immigration.

00:11:42.520 Look, I would argue that that is, even under the Harper government, if we can just leave that graph

00:11:47.080 back on, even under the Harper government, that number was still too high, right? 51% of the people

00:11:53.640 coming to the country are just here for a few years and then they leave, or they're here as seasonal

00:11:57.880 workers and they leave, or they're here for student visas. I mean, yeah, you could argue that you should

00:12:01.640 probably have, what, five or 10% student visas. People can come and study at our institutions if they're

00:12:07.240 world-class physicists or mathematicians, or if they, again, want an opportunity to come to Canada.

00:12:12.440 But I would even argue that that 50% number is too high. And you can see that it was going up and

00:12:18.120 then you can see the white line halfway through, that's 2015. And look at what has happened under

00:12:22.600 the Liberal government. The absolute proliferation of temporary workers, up to 76% of the newcomers. You can

00:12:30.680 see that that number has gone all the way up to, what, 2.1 million people per year coming into this

00:12:38.120 country, Wyatt. I mean, I, like, to me, if you're gonna let people in, like, let them in, right? Let them be

00:12:45.400 part of the community, let them integrate, welcome to Canada, become a Canadian citizen, come all in, learn

00:12:49.880 the English or French, depending on where you're living, but become Canadian. But when you have this huge, giant

00:12:54.760 class of people that are kind of in limbo, that don't really have a stake in the future, that don't really have any

00:12:59.800 incentive to become Canadian. I mean, this is the problem in my books. And this is what Pierre

00:13:06.360 Polyev needs to focus on, saying we need to, we need to stop this. What do you think?

00:13:11.720 And the justification for this level of immigration is based off of a few lies. With the temporary 0.97

00:13:17.480 foreign worker program, it's the idea that Canadians don't want to work these jobs that these workers 0.99

00:13:21.560 are filling. Well, no business would hire these TFW immigrants in order to fill these jobs either, 1.00

00:13:27.640 because they're subsidized workers. If the subsidy was not there, they would probably not be hiring

00:13:33.560 them, which means that businesses are obviously not going to hire a Canadian because the Canadian

00:13:38.440 doesn't get $3.50 an hour, like, taken off of their wages in terms of, like, what the government's

00:13:44.120 going to comp the business who's paying them. And when it comes to permanent residences and other

00:13:49.960 immigrants, you have people say, well, we need immigration to be at this level because, you know,

00:13:55.800 the birth rate isn't very high. And so we need to make sure that we maintain our population so we

00:14:00.120 can pay for our social programs. But you'll have studies come out of the UK showing that if you

00:14:04.840 actually do pursue a policy of mass immigration, you actually push your birth rate down even further,

00:14:10.360 because it turns out people don't really want to build a stable family in a country that doesn't

00:14:14.920 feel stable. And so naturally, everything just keeps getting worse and worse. And so the justification

00:14:21.000 ends up spurring on a new justification. And so you just keep going in circles with bringing in

00:14:26.280 more people that causes your actual natural growth to slip further and further, which means that you

00:14:31.400 need to bring in more people. And by the way, the people you're bringing in are also going to suffer

00:14:35.560 from that same problem, because everything's unaffordable. It's not a very stable community to

00:14:40.600 live in when you often have, like, you know, like a foreign ethnic conflicts happening in your city

00:14:46.360 streets. You're not exactly going to want to, you know, set up shop there for your family.

00:14:51.400 Well, no, you have to be fundamentally optimistic for the future to choose to have a family and to

00:14:55.400 have children. And you're right that when people don't, I mean, if people don't feel safe in their

00:15:00.200 community, or frankly, if they don't recognize the community that they live in, like I talked to so

00:15:04.680 many people that say, I don't feel like I'm living in Canada anymore. This isn't the Canada that I grew

00:15:08.680 up in. It's not, it's not like you're going to run out and say, okay, let's go have a bunch of kids,

00:15:12.200 right? Because you've lost faith in your own country. I want to go back to something you said

00:15:17.320 a little earlier on there, Wyatt, which is that, you know, they tell us that the reason that we need

00:15:22.840 all of these temporary foreign workers is because Canadians are just not willing to do these jobs. 0.74

00:15:27.640 It reminded me of a post I saw on social media posted by Dean Tester, who is a conservative.

00:15:32.440 He put this on X. He said, student unemployment in Ottawa is sitting around 20% with endless stories

00:15:38.040 of young people handing out hundreds of resumes and getting nowhere. And yet, there are hundreds

00:15:43.480 of LMIA, which is labor market opinions, requests for food service, admin assistants, and landscapers.

00:15:50.200 So you can see the map there, folks. Those are all of the people who put in applications. This is

00:15:55.400 Greater Ottawa saying that there are no, so if you want to let in, if you want to, if you're a business

00:16:01.800 and you want to have temporary foreign workers come at your business, you have to put out this,

00:16:05.960 one of these labor market opinions. So you have to put out job applications, help wanted signs and

00:16:11.000 prove that there's no one in your area that are willing to do these jobs. This has become a scam.

00:16:15.560 This has become a total workaround where they just put one of these things out. It's totally fake.

00:16:20.440 It's not even what it says it's supposed to be. They say, no, no one wants a job. And so then they can

00:16:24.600 turn around and hire a bunch of labor from the third world, pay them much less, have them work longer 1.00

00:16:29.880 hours. And again, Dean pointing out that there is around 20% student unemployment. So

00:16:35.800 how can you simultaneously tell me that there's hundreds or thousands of young people out there

00:16:40.680 in just this one city looking for jobs? And then at the same time, oh, no one to fill the job. So we

00:16:45.000 have to bring in immigrants to work at the local Tim Hortons. I mean, it's just, the system is just full 0.87

00:16:50.840 of abuse. That's, that's the major problem as well. It also turns into effectively indentured servitude

00:16:55.720 because you, when you're in this country, you have to work the job that you came in for. And when you're living,

00:17:01.800 and you cannot afford to lose this job. So you really can't say no to working potentially

00:17:06.600 unpaid overtime, which we get a lot of stories of. And then these same people who are already

00:17:11.640 working long hours at their one job have to then also, you know, drive for Uber in order to pay for

00:17:17.560 a half a basement suite that they live in with three or four other people. Anyone who pretends like

00:17:23.320 they're opposing pure poly of because they're ethical human beings are lying to themselves because

00:17:29.000 they're supporting a system that is actually abusive, pretending as if they're like standing

00:17:33.560 up for lowly immigrants. They're not. They're standing up for effectively modern day slaves 0.61

00:17:38.120 who were lied into taking jobs overseas that are not actually going to do much more than just pay

00:17:43.560 for them to even sustain themselves in Canada. Well, that's 100%. I wanted to just point to this

00:17:48.440 Globe and Mail article from last summer, August 24, employers still turning to low wage workers,

00:17:53.400 even as unemployment rates rise. This is kind of telling the same story, but there's this interesting

00:17:58.120 graph and it shows here positions approved in temporary foreign worker program by stream. And

00:18:03.160 so it used to be, Wyatt, that the overwhelming majority of temporary foreign workers that came

00:18:07.320 to Canada worked in fields. They were ag workers, they came in the summer, they picked blueberries or

00:18:11.720 whatever they did, then they left. Look, I would still argue that you can hire teenagers and college

00:18:15.720 students to do that kind of work. But still, you know, these companies say, look, we need these

00:18:20.600 temporary foreign workers. And yet, if we can show that graph on the screen, it shows just the rise of

00:18:27.000 low wage workers during this period. So from 2022, you can see that it jumps significantly. So low wage

00:18:34.920 workers used to be 20% of the temporary foreign worker program, and it has jumped up to 80%, almost

00:18:41.480 as much as these ag workers. So the type of workers has totally changed. Now, this is an interesting

00:18:46.040 point, because we heard Mark Kearney on the campaign trail, and even before, basically saying that

00:18:51.080 the liberal immigration system was broken, that they broke it. Here's a story from CBC News all

00:18:56.680 the way back in November. Mark Kearney says that Canada is letting down the immigrants that it

00:19:01.720 welcomed. And he basically just said, look, this isn't working, right? And we heard that again and

00:19:07.080 again. And yet, and yet, when he became prime minister, he made absolutely no changes. And so here's

00:19:14.360 a news story. Juno News, May 30th, 2025, Canada took in 817,000 new immigrants in the first four

00:19:24.360 months of 2025. Look at the headline, unbelievable. Between January and April, 132,000 people were

00:19:30.920 granted permanent residency, while 194,000 were given student visas, and 490 were given these work

00:19:39.640 permits. So there's no, there's no slowing down, right? These, and again, you can see that tilt,

00:19:45.480 right? 130 were given permanent residency, and all of the rest, all the way up to 817,000. So that's

00:19:51.720 what 690,000 people were let in temporarily, like they're not stopping. What drives me up the wall

00:19:58.360 about that stat too, is people will make excuses by saying, well, in that 817,000 number, you have

00:20:05.640 visa renewals, you have student visa and TFW visa renewals. Well, that's effectively a new immigrant, 0.99

00:20:11.080 because the whole idea was that they were going to be here for a few years, then they were going to

00:20:15.160 go home. If they're now here for rather than three years, six years, well, then that's basically a

00:20:21.080 second person entering right after they leave, and filling that gap. So people are trying to make

00:20:26.300 excuses and pretend like Carney's doing a better job than Trudeau on immigration right now.

00:20:30.480 Is he going to be better than maybe Trudeau, like 2024, 2023 Trudeau? Sure, but it's hard,

00:20:36.740 it would probably have been hard for Trudeau to even top himself in the year 2025. We're going down

00:20:42.560 to even what would be high levels in 2018 and 2019. And again, like you had been pointing out,

00:20:49.280 it was even a little too high under Martin and Harper. It should have probably been even lower back

00:20:54.940 then, because again, your immigration should always be purely supplemental to your natural

00:21:00.280 growth as a country. If people's standard of living is slipping at all by bringing in more people, 0.81

00:21:05.740 then you can't do it. And what we've seen over the last, I think, nine quarters at this point,

00:21:10.420 is that we have per capita incomes falling in Canada, because we're not actually adding more

00:21:15.940 productivity with these new immigrants, we're just basically subsidizing large corporations by giving 1.00

00:21:21.980 them cheaper labor. And again, it's so it really demonstrates just the kind of loser mentality that's 0.84

00:21:27.540 baked into Canada. These corporations don't push for lowering their extremely high corporate taxes. 0.75

00:21:33.100 They just want to maybe try and save a few dollars by bringing in cheaper labor. It's such a like,

00:21:38.800 people just resigned to the idea that there were just always going to have big government.

00:21:42.940 Well, that's exactly right. Because my mind is, if we're having to import people who don't share

00:21:48.200 cultural values, who many of them resort to crime, or at least being here illegally,

00:21:52.740 like people don't leave when they're supposed to. Like, why don't we just work harder to train and

00:21:57.540 motivate the younger generation to do these jobs, right? Put it back in the culture that you get a

00:22:01.940 summer job when you're a teenager? Or hey, how about like getting rid of a whole bunch of social

00:22:06.100 welfare programs that allow healthy, able-bodied young men and women to stay at home and not work?

00:22:11.680 Like, we have it all backwards. And to your point about how many people think that Mark Carney is

00:22:17.280 just automatically better than Justin Trudeau, because he's not such a clown. 0.96

00:22:20.080 The problem, Wyatt, is that he's surrounding himself with clownish people. And so let me 0.97

00:22:24.700 just point to this news story out of Global News, an absolute bombshell. Before joining Cabinet,

00:22:29.780 the Public Safety Minister of Canada wrote immigration support letters for terror group members.

00:22:36.360 Terror group members. So yes, our Public Safety Minister, Gary Anasangari, wrote letters urging Canadian 0.88

00:22:43.000 officials to approve the immigration applications of a man who had been determined by the government to be a

00:22:49.980 member of the terrorist organization. The letter dated 2023 and another one from 2016, were written

00:22:55.100 on Anasangari's House of Commons letterhead and sent to Canadian Border Services on behalf of an

00:23:00.620 alleged member of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers who wanted to move to Canada. So the person who we charge

00:23:07.960 with protecting us, Public Safety Minister, is in charge of the border, in charge of making sure that

00:23:13.180 terrorists don't come into our country, has actually advocated on behalf of terrorists coming into our country.

00:23:18.940 Like, I don't, it's like, the farce in Canada just never ends. The living satire that we are in,

00:23:24.440 yes, a cabinet minister is the one who wanted terrorists into our country. It's unbelievable.

00:23:28.620 And that specific, that specific, like, issue is linked to high immigration. He is obviously trying

00:23:35.500 to pander to a community where defending a member of the Tamil Tigers may get you some more votes.

00:23:41.320 That's exactly what he's doing. There's a reason why we just had a shooting in Surrey,

00:23:45.240 where somebody who is openly part of the banned terrorist organization, Barba Kalsa,

00:23:50.800 celebrated and took credit for a shooting on a cafe that they just, the owner of, had basically

00:23:57.020 made a joke about him or his friends. And politicians were just talking about it like it's a normal

00:24:02.980 gang shooting. Even though there's a guy who openly took credit for it from a banned terrorist

00:24:07.520 organization, we don't want to mention who it was because it might tick off certain people.

00:24:11.560 I mean, you're right. It's vote bank politics. It's like they want to get votes from these

00:24:17.140 communities. And so they're willing to do despicable things. They don't put Canadians 1.00

00:24:21.040 first. They put themselves and their party and their communities first. And so let me just read

00:24:25.860 a little bit more from this global news story. Although Canadian immigration officials had

00:24:30.580 repeatedly rejected this individual as an immigrant due to what they describe as protracted involvement

00:24:36.460 in the Tigers, the Tamil Tigers, which is a terrorist group in Sri Lanka. Anna Gasseri asked them to

00:24:41.740 reverse their decision. His most recent letter to CBSA, Anna Gasseri said the agency's refusal to grant

00:24:47.660 this individual permanent residency has separated the 48-year-old Sri Lankan from his Canadian wife

00:24:52.660 and child, which the Toronto MP called cruel and inhumane. Okay. Just to give you a bit more background

00:24:58.740 about that. The child was conceived in Sri Lanka. The woman had gone to Sri Lanka and then she moved to

00:25:04.800 Canada so that she could have a Canadian child and now she wants her terrorist husband to come with 0.97

00:25:08.420 her. The answer is, sorry, no, go home. Instead, it's the other way around and it's cruel and humane 0.84

00:25:13.620 not to let the terrorists into the country. Here's what he said. I respectfully ask that you review and

00:25:19.460 reconsider the decision. Anna Gasseri wrote on July 19, 2023. We're not talking about ancient history here.

00:25:25.680 We're talking about two years ago when it was the last few days of his time as parliamentary

00:25:30.380 secretary to the minister of justice attorney general. Where do they find these people and why

00:25:36.200 are they in charge? It is like, it is just so unbelievable. Wyatt, what do you think?

00:25:41.360 That also just reflects a lot of liberal criminal justice policy these days. Like, don't make the

00:25:47.520 person suffer the consequences of their own actions. It's cruel and inhumane that they actually,

00:25:52.200 you know, maybe take some punishment for the things that they do for the associations they have.

00:25:57.080 But yeah, like the thing is that this is rarely picked up by the mainstream media. If it's covered,

00:26:03.920 it's covered for a few seconds. This should be a major scandal. Again, and this has actually happened

00:26:08.980 multiple times. We even have politicians supposedly on the right, like Patrick Brown, who when he ran for

00:26:14.960 the leadership in 2022 for the federal party, actually had mentioned that he may take the Tamil Tigers

00:26:21.100 off the terrorism watch list. Just remove them from the blacklist. This is just, and again, you're right

00:26:28.060 about Mark Carney. He is more professional than Justin Trudeau, but I'm not sure if that's exactly a good

00:26:32.860 thing. Because I don't exactly want a more efficient leader of the current circus that is the liberal 0.99

00:26:38.460 cabinet, because they're just going to do bad things faster. 0.97

00:26:42.020 Yeah, more stealth and they'll do it behind your back. And isn't this just like an open message to

00:26:47.060 all the terrorists around the world? Like all you have to do is just like get your, get your girl

00:26:50.980 from pregnant, put her on a plane, send her to Canada, have the baby in Canada, and the minister 0.96

00:26:56.300 will be writing letters on your behalf, pleading to the government to let you into the country because

00:27:00.600 it's inhumane to have your child separated from you. Like it, this is just an absolute ridiculous, 0.94

00:27:06.880 this is in a nutshell, is everything wrong with liberal government and our immigration system?

00:27:12.740 Well, Wyatt, thank you so much for joining the show. It's always a pleasure to have you on. I'm

00:27:16.060 really looking forward to your show on Juno News. Thank you, Candace. All right, folks,
