Illegal blockade protesters flex their might looking a lot more like terrorists than anything else.
00:00:05.540
And Justin Trudeau doesn't really seem to care.
00:00:07.720
Plus, we'll talk about the fallout of the cancelled Tech Frontier Mind Project.
00:00:11.700
And this week in fake news, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:21.760
Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in to the program.
00:00:25.300
We are doing a live edition of The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:27.660
If you tuned in on Monday, you would have seen we had some technical issues on the show.
00:00:35.960
So unfortunately for folks watching on Facebook, they didn't get to see the whole program.
00:00:41.240
But it was on Periscope for the most part, what we could salvage.
00:00:45.960
Well, first I just want to say I watched the Democrat debate last night.
00:00:50.660
And, you know, it was probably the best Democrat debate so far because people actually went after Bernie Sanders.
00:00:58.300
Like, I thought that he performed very poorly last night.
00:01:00.880
I totally understand his populist appeal and all that kind of stuff.
00:01:06.360
But the moment where he was actually doubling down and tripling down on defending the Castros and defending communists.
00:01:12.880
He should ask Justin Trudeau how that turned out.
00:01:15.500
When Justin Trudeau wrote a sort of glowing love letter to the Castro, to Fidel Castro after he died, that was like one of the most embarrassing moments for the prime minister.
00:01:26.700
And that's saying something because Justin Trudeau is always embarrassing himself.
00:01:29.940
But anyways, hearing someone who wants to be the leader of the free world and the leader of the United States of America, which is the greatest force for prosperity and freedom in the world, you know, hearing someone who wants to lead that country praising a socialist dictator and glossing over the horrible atrocities that happened was just pretty despicable.
00:01:50.700
So hopefully Democrats come to their senses and get rid of Bernie Sanders or don't don't elect him as their leader, because I think that that would be a disaster for everyone, for everyone.
00:02:02.720
OK, let's get to the Canadian news today, because while we were told that things were supposed to be going back to normal, that the court injunction was going to be issued and that the protesters were going to be moved away.
00:02:14.680
But as we saw today, that just simply didn't happen. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, these protesters are looking a lot more like domestic terrorists than anything else.
00:02:24.280
So so the the the the main protesters that were blocking the line in Belleville at the Tyandanaga Mohawk Territory, they moved off the tracks.
00:02:36.280
Well, sort of there were protesters seen sort of blocking the railway and then jumping off the last minute.
00:02:41.080
But the train was successfully able to go through for the first time in a few weeks.
00:02:47.180
But then, of course, other protests popped up. So they decided to go after commuters in the greater Toronto area.
00:02:53.580
Really, really not a good way to win any kind of public support.
00:02:57.340
I mean, it seems at this point that they're really just trying to galvanize the country against them.
00:03:01.480
They recognize that most Canadians want the court injunction followed.
00:03:06.660
They want the protesters removed. They want them arrested, all this kind of stuff.
00:03:09.920
You know, the few people who actually support the protesters after you go after someone's morning commute, you know, that's like the last straw.
00:03:16.880
No one's going to support these protesters after this. So they pull another stunt.
00:03:20.960
They show up at the go train station in Hamilton and basically just block traffic, block traffic.
00:03:29.220
What a nightmare for anyone trying to commute in and around Toronto.
00:03:32.840
And then what I mean, the footage that we saw today was just absolutely remarkable, absolutely remarkable.
00:03:38.920
So we had protesters basically, again, throwing a temper tantrum and really, really, really what I think crossing the line when it comes to what I would describe as domestic terrorism.
00:03:51.380
I mean, if you've seen the footage, go on to Twitter, look at the footage, and you will see that they have, I mean, they're throwing, they were setting fire.
00:04:03.880
There's footage of these individuals throwing wooden crates, wooden pallets at a train, at a moving train.
00:04:14.440
I mean, it looks like part of the train is actually moving oil, petrol.
00:04:19.820
And you have people lighting gas fires, lighting fires with tires and throwing them at the train, throwing them under the tracks.
00:04:27.380
I mean, I don't know in what world this wouldn't be considered domestic terrorism.
00:04:34.120
And it's absolutely crazy to watch these radicals trying to derail a moving CN train.
00:04:41.320
Not only is it incredibly dangerous for these idiotic protesters, but imagine, I mean, you don't know what the fallout could be.
00:04:48.100
The driver, they put the driver's life in danger.
00:04:50.860
And if that train were to derail, where would it go?
00:04:57.600
Like, it's just incredibly, incredibly dangerous what these protesters are doing.
00:05:03.000
And again, it looks a lot more like terrorism to me than anything else.
00:05:08.980
Our prime minister is addressing the situation.
00:05:11.720
And let me just tell you, Justin Trudeau, forget about his ideology.
00:05:15.940
Forget about the fact that he allowed this to go on for way too long.
00:05:19.080
When you just look at the approach, it just doesn't seem like he cares.
00:05:21.800
It doesn't seem like his heart is in it at all.
00:05:23.720
He just seems sort of resigned to the fact that this is happening.
00:05:26.740
And the Trudeau liberals have created a huge, huge problem for themselves.
00:05:31.160
Because the dichotomy that they've created, this is the media version of the story that
00:05:35.520
the Trudeau liberals have sort of bought up and promoted as well, is that this is a First
00:05:44.880
I mean, if you watch my show, if you watch this program, if you sort of look for the other
00:05:49.500
side of the story, you'll recognize that so many First Nations communities support these
00:06:00.240
Of course, all 20 elected bans along the route of this coastal gas leak project were in favor
00:06:06.580
So to paint this as a reconciliation issue and to paint it as like First Nations protest
00:06:15.660
And now Trudeau has backed himself into a corner because he's supposed to be the prime
00:06:20.460
He's supposed to be the prime minister of healing, of kumbaya, holding hands and talking
00:06:26.560
about our feelings and getting past sort of the decades or the centuries of misunderstandings
00:06:34.920
and mistreatment towards First Nations communities.
00:06:37.240
So he's the prime minister that's supposed to do that.
00:06:39.860
And yet, because he framed this issue as First Nations versus Canadians, he can't take the side
00:06:45.200
He can't take the side of Canadians, even though that's not the actual dichotomy.
00:06:49.140
The dichotomy is like a group of far left fringe protesters against Canadians and that
00:06:54.460
the far left fringe environmental protesters are appropriating First Nations.
00:07:01.680
They're trying to wave the flag of First Nations, even though so many First Nations voices are
00:07:07.000
But because Trudeau has done this and the media has done this and the Liberal Party have
00:07:10.280
done this, now they just they're stuck in a corner because they can't come out and
00:07:14.020
be mean and be seen as cracking down on the First Nations cause.
00:07:18.180
So here we have Justin Trudeau today commenting about the, honestly, the terrorism that's happening
00:07:27.300
And he sort of just gives a lackluster response, like, like, kind of like, meh.
00:07:32.220
So obviously, we're hoping for a resolution soon.
00:07:35.720
We're continuing to work as we have over the past weeks.
00:07:38.900
It is extremely concerning to see people endangering their own lives and the lives of others by
00:07:46.420
But again, we are continuing to work very hard to resolve this.
00:07:54.720
You know, we're going to work our best, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:57.020
It's extremely concerning to see people endangering their own lives and others like
00:08:00.460
like Justin Trudeau just doesn't really know what to say.
00:08:03.480
He doesn't really know what what kind of stance he can take.
00:08:07.020
So he just kind of comes out low energy and blah.
00:08:12.140
That's not going to cut it in a country where we've really just empowered the far left.
00:08:16.640
Like they're flexing their might now at this point.
00:08:22.460
We can hold the country hostage with our protest.
00:08:26.680
And we you're not going to do anything to stop.
00:08:29.420
We know you're not going to do anything to stop.
00:08:33.180
You're not going to put an end to this, Justin Trudeau.
00:08:35.020
You're just going to, you know, continue to do your thing.
00:08:46.420
It's now part of a trend that we see with the far left just completely brazenly being
00:08:56.300
I said we're going to talk about the tech resources limited.
00:08:59.220
We talked about it in the last program, but I know that the connection wasn't very good.
00:09:02.540
So I'm going to go over it a little bit more today for folks who missed the Monday podcast.
00:09:07.260
So news came out that the Tech Frontier Mine was pulling the plug on its project.
00:09:14.340
The prospect of it for people in Alberta, everyone I talked to in Alberta, this was sort of like
00:09:18.120
the light at the end of the tunnel, a glimmer of hope in an otherwise very bleak economy,
00:09:23.680
This is like the opportunity that so many people have just been like waiting for, salivating
00:09:30.100
So Tech Frontier Mine was supposed to employ 7,000 people during its construction phase
00:09:34.160
and another 2,500 people during its expected 40-year lifespan.
00:09:38.640
The investment was $20 billion, and it was going to create an estimated $70 billion in
00:09:44.700
tax revenue during its lifetime, the lifetime of this mine.
00:09:49.020
The mine was approved by all 14 First Nations community.
00:09:56.580
But because of the state of our country, because of Justin Trudeau's Canada, but anyways, you
00:10:02.760
know, watching the three weeks of absolute chaos and anarchy unfolding in Canada, watching
00:10:08.200
protesters just completely take over the country, shut down the economy, again, hold the entire
00:10:19.400
I mean, how can you sit by and say, you know what, I think it's a good idea for my stockholders
00:10:27.260
Well, the CEO of Frontier, the company that was doing tech, he basically said just that.
00:10:34.360
So he was speaking at an investor conference in Florida.
00:10:42.840
He said, literally, over the last few days, it has become increasingly clear that there's
00:10:49.520
So, you know, he said that Canada has to have a much needed conversation about balancing the
00:10:53.320
environment with resource development, which is kind of sad.
00:10:57.320
I mean, come on, we should have already had that conversation.
00:11:02.240
We need to be realistic that Canada has less than 2% of global emissions, that Canada is,
00:11:07.080
you know, I mean, I won't even go over it all in this podcast, because it's been said
00:11:11.800
But Canada is a responsible steward of the environment, whereby all the other countries that are really
00:11:17.020
the problem when it comes to carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions, they don't care.
00:11:26.860
They're going forward and building their coal mines and building their oil and gas sector
00:11:35.780
So more from Don Lindsay, the CEO of Frontier, he says, as a result of these illegal blockades,
00:11:41.740
there has been some deep concern expressed across the country, in particular with relation
00:11:45.640
to the safety of railway employees, to the safety of the public and the protesters and
00:11:50.760
the effects they're having on the Canadian economy and individual Canadians, he said.
00:11:56.080
So again, I mean, this whole show, the whole protests and blockades, illegal blockades over
00:12:04.660
the tech frontier mine have just been a showcase to all companies in the world, all companies
00:12:10.460
considering investing in Canada or currently investing in Canada, that Canada is not a functioning
00:12:14.160
country, that Canada is not a reliable environment, that there is no rule of law in Canada.
00:12:20.220
We're basically what Joe Oliver said, a banana republic.
00:12:24.160
And it's a sad, sad day for Canada when that's the case and it is being observed.
00:12:28.780
And so this, you know, this is just this is just one example, because we know that so many
00:12:35.000
I mean, and Canada and Canada was it's called Energy Canada.
00:12:40.880
They left, they moved it down to Texas, Kinder Morgan, Houston Oil and Gas, ConocoPhillips,
00:12:47.660
All these companies have announced that they're leaving Canada, they're leaving Alberta because
00:12:50.760
they just cannot trust the Canadian government to create a predictable environment for them.
00:12:57.200
And so, I mean, this is honestly really a sad day in Canada.
00:13:02.620
They don't all recognize the sort of gravity of the situation.
00:13:06.120
Because we had our friends over at the David Suzuki Foundation claim victory.
00:13:10.900
They actually put out a social media post saying, awesome news, tech has withdrawn its
00:13:18.380
Big thanks to each and every one of you who spoke up to, say, reject tech.
00:13:22.940
And then there was a banner that says victory, victory.
00:13:25.900
So imagine killing at least 9,500 jobs direct, direct jobs.
00:13:32.960
Plus, you know, as the economy works, there's probably thousands of other jobs that are also
00:13:41.500
So, you know, the investment of $70 billion to the public coffers to pay for social services,
00:13:48.080
to pay for infrastructure, you know, to pay for government.
00:13:51.660
This is what the David Suzuki Foundation is doing.
00:13:53.280
And not just that, but the lost livelihood, all of those individuals in Alberta who had
00:13:58.080
some hope, who had some economic opportunity on the horizon, who were going to be able
00:14:03.060
to put food on their family's table, food on the table, because of this job.
00:14:08.740
And this is what the David Suzuki Foundation is celebrating.
00:14:24.260
They are hiring a full-time campaigner to stop the LNG projects in British Columbia.
00:14:34.160
It's a very clean, very green form of petroleum.
00:14:37.720
And yet this is what the U.S.-based company is paying someone a full-time position, going
00:14:44.680
to pay them $70,000 a year, $70,000 to $85,000 a year for this position.
00:14:54.580
So pretty, pretty, pretty despicable stuff, honestly.
00:14:59.680
The fact that someone in the U.S., so there's a job posting, senior oil and gas campaigner,
00:15:06.580
Stand on Earth is seeking a passionate, experienced campaigner to develop and implement strategies
00:15:10.820
to raise awareness, to build power, to stop the expansion of the oil and gas sector.
00:15:17.060
So why is the U.S. company paying someone to organize these illegal blockades in Canada?
00:15:23.660
I mean, this is, again, this is foreign interference into our democracy, into our country.
00:15:28.240
And we don't have a government that's willing to put an end to it, to actually wake up to
00:15:33.740
what's happening in our country and put a stop to it.
00:15:39.000
It's hidden in plain sight, plain to see, but we don't have a prime minister that has
00:15:43.560
any kind of courage or any kind of interest in standing up for Canadians, for standing
00:15:48.900
up for workers and people who might have the opportunity to, again, provide for their family
00:16:02.060
So this isn't news, but the CBC did this pretty pathetic little bit, sort of attacking
00:16:11.480
conservatives for threatening to pull funding from the CBC.
00:16:20.240
We have this infrastructure where the government pays journalists.
00:16:23.520
So we have all these government funded journalists who work for the government, some directly like
00:16:27.840
the CBC and then others indirectly, like all the media bailouts and all of the different
00:16:36.040
And so when it comes to CBC, they directly they directly drive their salaries from the
00:16:41.640
And so when a political party ever has the courage to say, hey, you know what, we're not
00:16:47.140
And in a free society, we shouldn't have a government funded press anyway, as a conservative
00:16:52.320
doing right now, they get attacked by the media machine at the CBC.
00:16:55.820
So it's just this really ridiculous balance of power.
00:16:59.660
And so Aaron O'Toole, who's running for leader of the conservative, has pledged to drastically
00:17:07.880
I've praised him before on this program, on this podcast.
00:17:17.940
And so they put out this ridiculous little comedy bid on 22 Minutes, which is their supposed
00:17:23.900
I say supposedly because it's just really not funny at all.
00:17:28.620
But anyway, so so so here here we have the CBC government comedian who is doing a riff on
00:17:46.580
They make it so brazenly clear that they hate conservatives and that they're anti-conservative
00:17:56.260
And it's like, OK, you're not a very good pundit and you're like a terrible comedian.
00:18:00.760
So this is just like has no entertainment value for anyone unless you're just like a
00:18:05.420
diehard CBC fan, which I guess that is the CBC audience.
00:18:09.180
The CBC audience is just people who are diehard fans of the CBC.
00:18:14.680
This is just, man, this is just so brutal, though.
00:18:19.480
Conservative leadership candidate Aaron O'Toole thinks he knows what Canadians want.
00:18:24.240
An O'Toole government will modernize and reform the CBC.
00:18:27.940
We will end funding for CBC Digital and we will cut CBC English TV budget by 50%.
00:18:37.080
Now, if you're watching this, I assume you're either a fan of the CBC or you're stuck in a
00:18:42.940
So thanks for watching and I hope it's not infected.
00:18:50.060
The world of broadcast media has changed dramatically, but our public broadcaster is stuck in the past.
00:18:55.840
Oh, look, a guy who won't march in pride parades is saying the CBC is out of touch.
00:19:01.540
That's a stupid cheap shot because we know that Aaron O'Toole said that he won't march
00:19:05.820
in the pride parades because of the way that they exclude the police.
00:19:09.160
So he actually said that he would march in pride parades, just not the Toronto one because
00:19:15.000
So really just lying, like just lying to make a point that's not even really a good point.
00:19:20.340
So that's that's a pretty bad start for this CBC government commedia.
00:19:25.420
Canadians are connected to the world with a swipe of their finger.
00:19:32.660
So, Aaron, you're saying we should replace the CBC with Tinder?
00:19:36.200
Could it be that some conservatives are afraid of the CBC?
00:19:41.520
And the reason it's brutal is because one, he says that conservatives are afraid of CBC.
00:19:47.120
Conservatives just loathe you because you're so biased and you're so unethical and you're
00:19:51.000
such liars that you can't even come out and say you're biased.
00:19:54.220
You pretend that you're neutral, but you're really not.
00:19:56.560
And you're just a total waste of taxpayer money.
00:19:58.900
And not only that, but you have a really negative impact on our democracy because you slant
00:20:02.560
the entire perspective and you slant everything towards the left, which is just entirely
00:20:07.760
So, it's not like conservatives are afraid of the CBC.
00:20:10.220
It's just that the conservatives understand what the CBC is and understand how wrong it
00:20:15.900
And then he says, he makes all these unsubstantiated claims about how Canadians love the CBC.
00:20:25.140
I think that the CBC is a relic of an old time when Canadians didn't have choice.
00:20:28.900
And now we just have so much choice that Canadians choose not to watch.
00:20:33.580
So, he can talk about how, you know, polling says that some Canadians support the CBC.
00:20:39.600
Well, you know, that's not really good enough when, you know, we actually have viewership
00:20:44.800
numbers and I show that people are not tuning in and not watching it.
00:20:49.600
Thank you so much for tuning in and we'll be back again next week.
00:20:52.060
I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
