The Candice Malcolm Show - The Candice Malcolm Show： The ＂woke left＂ takes aim at the sport of hockey...again

00:00:00.000 The coronavirus continues to spread and threatens global trade.

00:00:03.460 The feds try to deport 50,000 illegal immigrants.

00:00:06.200 Good luck with that.

00:00:07.240 Plus, the woke left takes aim at the sport of hockey.

00:00:10.200 And we'll talk conservative leadership race and this week in fake news.

00:00:13.480 I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.

00:00:20.660 Hi, welcome to the show.

00:00:21.740 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:00:23.060 We have a lot to get to, a lot of news going on this week.

00:00:25.500 So let's get right to it.

00:00:27.100 So the first case of the coronavirus has been recorded that was transmitted through human contact.

00:00:33.140 So an individual in Germany is the first known case of someone who contracted the virus through a workplace.

00:00:40.560 So he didn't visit China himself.

00:00:42.180 He just interacted with someone at work who had recently visited Wuhan, China.

00:00:47.440 So this is a 33-year-old man in Bavaria who contracted it during a workplace training event with a visiting Chinese colleague.

00:00:55.340 He is now put under quarantine and observation at a Munich hospital.

00:00:59.960 So really, like I said in the last program, this is more of a case of just hysteria over this sort of mysterious new virus that's quickly spreading.

00:01:09.120 The major problem and concern with this kind of virus isn't so much the virus itself.

00:01:13.440 You know, it's affecting very few people.

00:01:14.740 So far, there have been 132 deaths and 4,600 cases, which may seem like a lot.

00:01:22.060 But remember, keep it in perspective.

00:01:25.040 More people are impacted by the common flu or influenza every year.

00:01:29.760 But the major concern with this is, well, there's two.

00:01:33.480 One is the infection rate.

00:01:35.200 So the novel coronavirus case fatality rate is currently estimated around 3%, somewhere between 2% and 4%.

00:01:41.740 So for comparison, the seasonal flu rate is less than 0.01%.

00:01:47.640 And if you can compare this with some of the other major respiratory syndrome viruses that were occurring, the SARS rate was 10%.

00:01:56.820 And the MERS rate, the Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome rate was 34%.

00:02:02.160 And just for comparison, I wanted to put this into perspective.

00:02:04.720 So according to the World Health Organization, this is what they have to say on influenza.

00:02:10.120 Worldwide, these annual epidemics, this is talking about the common flu or influenza, are estimated to result in the 3 to 5 million cases of severe illnesses annually, which result in somewhere between 290,000 and 650,000 respiratory deaths.

00:02:26.320 So again, the coronavirus, for all the hype and all the hysteria around it, it's nothing compared to what happens every single year with the common flu.

00:02:35.000 But again, the concern is over the idea that we just don't really know what's causing it at this point, what the origin was, and how to treat it.

00:02:41.900 And, you know, the concern at this point has nothing to do with, you know, individuals catching, being affected by this coronavirus.

00:02:50.840 The biggest concern, you know, by far is how this will impact global trade.

00:02:56.400 So already, you know, countries are reacting and, you know, overreacting by stopping trade, stopping anything that's coming from China.

00:03:06.420 So Ford and Toyota will both idle their vast Chinese assembly plants for an extra week.

00:03:12.320 Apple is rerouting its supply chains.

00:03:14.420 Starbucks has closed thousands of stores and is warning of a financial blow.

00:03:19.000 On Wednesday, British Airlines suspended all flights to mainland China, while United and Air Canada are joining the growing number of carriers reducing services.

00:03:26.700 Japan's leaders are bracing for a possible hit.

00:03:28.960 Hotel and tour operators across Asia are watching fearfully as the world's largest source of tourism dollars tightens its borders.

00:03:36.420 This is all because of the mysterious pneumonia-like coronavirus that has killed more than 100 people and the second thousand virtually shut down one of the world's most important growth engines.

00:03:48.240 Desperate to slow the fast-moving virus, the Chinese authorities have extended the country's national holiday to February 3rd.

00:03:54.820 Crippled land, rail, and air transport. 1.00

00:03:58.100 Entire cities have shut down.

00:04:00.940 And, you know, even if you just look at the location of Wuhan, it's right on the Yangtze River, very close to Shanghai.

00:04:05.280 This is a very important strategic location, not just for, you know, China itself, but for global trade.

00:04:12.500 It's a huge port city that allows so much of what's manufactured for global trade to get to market, to get through the Yangtze out to Shanghai, where the global port takes the rest of the world.

00:04:24.140 So, again, you know, the biggest fear at this point isn't so much with, you know, individuals contracting this virus, but it is how we react, how we tighten restrictions, stop trade, stop travel, and you start to learn just how interconnected the global economy really is.

00:04:38.880 So that's more of a fear for people watching the stock markets and worried about, you know, getting their products to market and going back to business as usual.

00:04:47.900 All right, moving on.

00:04:48.620 This was an exclusive in Blacklock's reporter this morning.

00:04:52.360 The feds count 52,109 deportees.

00:04:56.680 According to the story, more than 50,000 illegal immigrants ordered removed from Canada remain in the country.

00:05:01.360 This according to cabinet records.

00:05:04.680 And so, you know, this is the major problem when you have so many people entering the country illegally making that refugee claim.

00:05:11.680 So they claim they ask for asylum after it goes through Canadian courts.

00:05:16.120 If a judge determines, no, you're not a refugee, the person gets ordered deported.

00:05:21.360 The problem is at that point they have the ability to appeal.

00:05:24.420 The appeal process can take more than two years.

00:05:26.700 And so as a result, you have all of these people who are just sort of like living in limbo in Canada.

00:05:31.540 Some of them choose to sort of go dark, go on the lam, and continue to live illegally outside the boundaries, outside the confines of our immigration system.

00:05:39.160 Others just continue to sort of waste resources, waste taxpayer money by appealing and appealing and saying, oh, this isn't fair.

00:05:46.540 Oh, I want to have another judge.

00:05:48.020 And stretching it out for as long as possible.

00:05:50.100 You know, you know, their immigration lawyers and consultants are urging them to do this and saying, you know, we can get past the law if you just continue to press.

00:05:59.040 And because of it, you know, Canada has this huge problem with illegal immigration.

00:06:02.540 And now it's Justin Trudeau's government that has to deal with it.

00:06:05.220 I mean, 52,000 people who are supposed to be deported, just for comparison, a total of 648 illegal immigrants were deported last year.

00:06:16.600 648 people were deported.

00:06:18.000 Meanwhile, there's 52,000 outstanding deportation orders.

00:06:22.040 Again, this is the problem when you don't enforce the law in the first place.

00:06:25.260 When you have an area like Roxham Road in rural Quebec where thousands of people are just walking illegally across the border only to be intercepted by the RCMP and then transported to basically a taxpayer-funded all-expenses holiday where they're waiting for their case to be heard, all at the expense of the taxpayer.

00:06:44.560 You know, and again, this is the problem with Trudeau's approach to immigration.

00:06:47.940 Instead of stopping people in the first place from crossing illegally, he just continues to let it happen.

00:06:53.060 He's made no effort whatsoever to stop that flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border at Roxham Road.

00:06:59.020 Instead, he's only facilitated it by stationing permanent presence of RCMP, creating these shuttle buses that take people to their choice, Montreal or Toronto.

00:07:08.580 And then from there, they get placed into hotels.

00:07:11.400 They get sort of the taxpayer-funded royal treatment like a holiday, probably the nicest holiday they've ever had in their lives, all courtesy of the taxpayer.

00:07:19.080 They're only, you know, a few years later, once they finally had their case heard, to be told, no, you're not a refugee.

00:07:24.740 You don't meet any of the definitions.

00:07:26.420 You don't meet any of the standards.

00:07:27.680 You have to go.

00:07:28.820 Well, again, this is all at the expense of the taxpayers.

00:07:31.560 So we're now dealing with at least 52,000 deportees.

00:07:35.180 That's just the ones that they have records of.

00:07:36.740 I'm sure that there's many more that are just completely unaccounted for.

00:07:40.320 And, you know, again, good luck trying to deport that many people when, you know, the total removals last year was 648.

00:07:50.180 The previous year, it was 495.

00:07:53.440 Canada's not very good at deporting people.

00:07:55.200 We're not very good at handling illegal immigrants in our country, which is why it is better to just stop them from entering the first place. 1.00

00:08:01.760 If someone's coming into Canada illegally and you know that they're from a country that they have no chance of being determined to be an actual refugee.

00:08:08.280 I mean, the fact that they're coming from the United States should be a pretty big red flag to begin with. 0.98

00:08:12.480 They're already in a safe country and they're going to another safe country.

00:08:15.840 It doesn't make sense.

00:08:16.640 It doesn't add up.

00:08:17.620 And this is an example of the Trudeau government just being absolutely horrible when it comes to enforcing our immigration laws and maintaining the rule of law, which, again, has a ripple effect.

00:08:26.680 Because Canadians start to distrust the immigration system because of this surge of illegal immigration.

00:08:32.720 It makes them doubt the entire immigration system, not just the ability to stop illegal immigrants, but the ability for the government to manage a large-scale immigration program.

00:08:41.660 And that's why we've seen real skepticism towards Canada's immigration policies in the last couple of years.

00:08:47.160 It's all because of Justin Trudeau.

00:08:48.960 Okay, let's move on.

00:08:50.400 This story just drives me absolutely crazy.

00:08:52.440 So, a hockey coach was removed for refusing to take a mandatory gender identity course.

00:08:59.540 Taking a course on gender identity became mandatory for Hockey Eastern Ontario volunteers.

00:09:04.800 This is an exclusive over at TNC.news.

00:09:07.960 As the woke left comes for hockey, one Ontario man has found himself no longer permitted to coach because he refused to take a course on gender identity.

00:09:15.420 So, this individual did an interview with Collette Magazine, and the man said that he was formerly a volunteer with his son's hockey team, but he claimed he was no longer a volunteer because he just refused to take this course.

00:09:26.820 I can't coach.

00:09:27.640 I can't be on the bench.

00:09:28.780 I can't help on the ice.

00:09:30.700 Even just to help on the ice, you need to have this training, said the man, who wishes to remain anonymous.

00:09:35.400 Taking a course on gender identity became mandatory for Hockey Eastern Ontario volunteers following a 2017 legal settlement with a transgender hockey player who alleged discrimination.

00:09:44.760 The former assistant coach said he is opposed to discrimination and that he was going to take the course until he saw the 33-slide module on gender.

00:09:54.020 I would be fine taking an awareness course if it were factual and based on science, he said, but I felt this was too ideological.

00:10:01.000 Included in the presentation was the claim that biological sex and gender are unrelated to one another, as well as detailed explanations of identities such as polygender, genderqueer, and agender.

00:10:12.960 The presentation also alleged that the gender binary was invented by Europeans and imposed on the rest of the world through colonialism.

00:10:22.440 Well, there you have it.

00:10:23.280 According to hockey, according to just minor hockey where, you know, everyday Canadians are playing, little kids are playing hockey, you have to believe in ideological far-left nonsense.

00:10:35.220 The idea that biological sex is a social construct invented by Europeans, you know, this is what it's saying. 0.85

00:10:42.580 Biological sex is racist. 1.00

00:10:44.060 That's basically what it's saying. 0.90

00:10:45.580 And every single hockey coach in Ontario has to take this training.

00:10:50.400 This is totally nonsense.

00:10:51.460 Once again, the left is at war against everyday Canadians, against our way of life and the things we do.

00:10:56.920 Going after hockey is their strategy because, you know, hockey is sort of like the most normal thing you can be into in Canada.

00:11:03.940 It's something that so many of us are, you know, that's what we're interested in.

00:11:07.980 That's what we like.

00:11:08.640 That's what we pay attention to.

00:11:10.060 And, you know, by going after hockey, it hits at the heart of our culture and it really takes aim at sort of this central institution in our society.

00:11:18.820 This is far from their first attempt to do this.

00:11:21.500 We have seen sort of mainstream media and left-wing figures go after hockey.

00:11:25.820 It started, of course, with Don Cherry and him being removed from Coach's Corner in Hockey Night in Canada for using what is supposedly, what, a discriminatory term saying, you people, encouraging all Canadians to wear the poppy.

00:11:37.020 And then after he was removed, his co-host, Ron McClain, just sort of went like full woke left and started lecturing us all about white privilege and structural racism in hockey and blah, blah, blah.

00:11:48.740 So, again, this is just, you know, political correctness run amok and taking aim right at the heart of our culture and going after the sport of hockey.

00:11:56.700 I hate to see that.

00:11:57.920 All right, let's move on.

00:11:58.900 So the conservative leadership race is beginning to take shape.

00:12:02.580 We have, you know, the frontrunners again at this point are Peter McKay and Aaron O'Toole.

00:12:07.000 And unfortunately, already early in this race, the mainstream media is already shaping this debate.

00:12:13.000 They're already trying to sort of paint all conservatives with the same brush as what they did during the election with Andrew Scheer.

00:12:19.600 So the thing that everyone's talking about this week is who will and who won't march in pride parades, as if this is like the most important thing to know about a conservative candidate before they're selected.

00:12:29.500 This is what the mainstream media care about.

00:12:31.360 It's not what Canadians care about.

00:12:32.840 And it certainly is not what conservative delegates who will be selecting their next leader care about. 0.99

00:12:37.540 It's just a huge distraction designed to plant the seed in people's heads that conservatives are kind of bigoted and they kind of hate gay people. 0.95

00:12:45.040 And so that's what they're that's what the media is trying to do. 0.83

00:12:47.980 If I were advising leadership campaign or if I was, you know, working on a campaign, I would advise a candidate to just not talk about this issue to just like, you know, the media is obsessed with it.

00:12:57.740 Good for them. They can kind of dwell on it because service should be talking about the important issues in Canada, talking about the economy, talking about debt levels, talking about how to sort of restore fiscal responsibility in the government.

00:13:10.380 And if you want to talk about social and cultural issues, it should be a critique on the left wing sort of mainstream media values and not allowing the mainstream media to attack and condemn social conservatives.

00:13:22.340 But alas, this is not what's happening.

00:13:24.420 So here we have Aaron O'Toole put out a statement saying that he will not march in the Pride Parade.

00:13:30.900 He writes, in uniform, I stood up for the rights of all Canadians.

00:13:34.660 And in Parliament, I have always, always voted for liberty and equality as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

00:13:39.500 I will march in Pride Parades.

00:13:41.380 I will not participate in the Toronto Pride Parade while its policy is to exclude Canadians, especially uniformed police officers.

00:13:47.800 In my view, its regrettable position is incompatible with the principles of inclusivity and the equality of all Canadians.

00:13:54.440 When Toronto Pride becomes a truly inclusive event, I will march in that with my uniformed friends.

00:14:00.800 OK, and so because of that, now we have stories like this up at CTV.

00:14:05.480 McKay and Gladue will march in Toronto Pride.

00:14:07.900 O'Toole will not.

00:14:09.520 So Peter McKay and Marilyn Gladue have both committed to marching in the Toronto Pride Parade.

00:14:15.640 While Aaron O'Toole says that he won't unless police are allowed to march in uniform.

00:14:20.080 Again, this is allowing left-wing mainstream media to dictate the terms of the Conservative leadership debate and dictate the conversation.

00:14:27.000 It's not good for Conservatives.

00:14:28.360 I really don't understand why a Conservative can't just say, look, I support gay marriage.

00:14:33.640 I'm 100% not going to legislate on that.

00:14:36.220 I'm not interested in legislating on gay marriage.

00:14:38.420 However, I'm not going to take part in a Pride Parade because it's my freedom as a Canadian to not have to march in a parade.

00:14:46.280 And I don't feel like they're family-friendly events.

00:14:48.840 That's it.

00:14:49.300 That's it.

00:14:49.980 I support gay marriage.

00:14:50.940 I'll do other things in the community to show my support for the gay community. 0.77

00:14:55.200 But I'm not going to march in a parade that's basically devoted towards sex and hedonism.

00:15:01.200 That's not what I'm going to do.

00:15:02.800 And instead, we have this, like, weird game where we play where it's almost become, like, a mandatory thing for not just Conservative leaders.

00:15:11.100 Like, not just all leaders, but Conservative leaders.

00:15:13.880 Everyone has to march in a parade.

00:15:15.360 Look, last time I checked, we lived in a free society.

00:15:17.260 Not everyone has to go to the same events.

00:15:19.020 If you are, you know, on the political left, no one's saying, hey, you must go to a hockey game.

00:15:25.300 You must go to a football game.

00:15:27.360 You know, as a politician, you must participate in these certain, you know, cultural activities.

00:15:32.160 You must go to church.

00:15:33.380 You know, no, we live in a free society, so you can choose.

00:15:36.580 Some people can choose to go to church on Sunday.

00:15:38.520 Some people can choose to go to a pride parade.

00:15:40.260 I mean, that's the whole idea of living in a free society.

00:15:43.280 And this idea that every single leader must participate in an event that is, frankly, pretty raunchy doesn't add up.

00:15:50.960 So, you know, I guess good for Erin O'Toole, I guess, for pushing back a little bit and saying, hey, you guys are not very inclusive since you don't allow police officers to march in your parade.

00:16:00.600 But, again, that doesn't really hit at the major issue for most Canadians, which is, you know, two things.

00:16:06.060 One, not everyone's interested in going to a parade that's celebrating sex in that way.

00:16:10.660 And two, you know, we live in a free society, so you can't force or coerce people to attend an event that they don't want to attend.

00:16:16.880 That's just the reality.

00:16:18.240 So no one's really showing any courage so far in the leadership race and showing a willingness to fight back against, you know, those two very principled issues.

00:16:27.660 Okay, let's move on to fake news.

00:16:29.740 Let's talk about this week in fake news because we have a lot of fake news going on right now.

00:16:34.760 This one's not exactly a news story, but it just shows this sort of crooked, corrupt relationship between the CBC, the Liberal Party, and the federal government, the Trudeau government.

00:16:45.120 So this is another exclusive over at Black Locks Reporter.

00:16:49.680 So the federal government paid a liberal CBC pundit five figures in order to provide media coaching for a single cabinet minister.

00:16:58.920 So the feds paid $22,120 to an individual called Amanda Alvaro, who did not respond to questions. 0.85

00:17:06.900 CBC ethics guidelines require disclosure of special interests of any pundit.

00:17:12.660 Quote, spoiler alert, guys.

00:17:14.500 I'm a liberal, Alvaro wrote on her Twitter account.

00:17:17.740 Basically, this woman, Alvaro, is a liberal talking head. 1.00

00:17:21.140 She is a consultant and she runs her own company.

00:17:24.080 And she's frequently a guest on CBC, basically just spouting out the liberal campaign talking points.

00:17:30.340 She is a liberal.

00:17:31.580 Spoiler alert.

00:17:32.100 She said she's liberal.

00:17:33.440 So this woman is a partisan. 0.93

00:17:35.780 She goes on the CBC to mimic Justin Trudeau's talking points.

00:17:39.660 And then, of course, because this kind of stuff is just commonplace in, you know, the corrupt world of auto politics, she gets paid by the federal government, not by the Liberal Party, but by the federal government using taxpayer dollars. 0.56

00:17:52.620 She gets hired to come in and coach Maryam Monsef, the Minister of Status of Women, on how to be a better, more media savvy communicator. 0.65

00:18:03.080 So, again, why is this something that Canadian taxpayers are paying for?

00:18:06.620 How come the liberal government is allowed to hire liberal pundits who also get paid by the CBC?

00:18:12.540 It's all just really insider baseball-y.

00:18:16.060 And it makes you realize, yeah, you know what?

00:18:18.060 We have a pretty big swamp in Ottawa.

00:18:21.720 It's not just a Washington, D.C. problem.

00:18:23.680 We have a swamp in Ottawa as well.

00:18:26.900 All right, next story I want to talk about is CBC has an analysis piece by Rosemary Barton.

00:18:33.840 As you probably know, Rosemary Barton used to be the host of The National, but she got removed from that position. 0.98

00:18:38.380 And she is now a political reporter, but for whatever reason, she writes opinion analysis pieces as well in the CBC.

00:18:45.440 So, the latest from Rosemary Barton, she says,

00:18:48.300 For conservative candidates who aren't fully bilingual, running to be prime minister won't be easy.

00:18:54.080 It's hard to thrive in federal politics without being fluent in both languages, and for good reason. 1.00

00:19:00.180 Good luck, Mr. McKay, she said, mimicking the headline in the Journal de Québec headline said,

00:19:05.780 Good luck, minister, because Peter McKay is not very good at speaking French.

00:19:10.420 And to people in Ottawa and people in Quebec, this is just a huge scandal.

00:19:15.080 Like, how dare someone try to be prime minister if they're not perfectly fluent in French?

00:19:20.560 As I've talked about on this program, and as I talked about in depth in an interview that I did with J.J. McCullough for True North, 0.74

00:19:26.980 the idea for a conservative that you have to know how to speak French in order to be leader of the party is silly.

00:19:32.940 It's a sort of liberal-created demand.

00:19:35.760 It makes sense for the Liberal Party, since their base is in Quebec,

00:19:38.840 and they have to win a lot of seats in Quebec in order to form government.

00:19:42.360 If you go back and you look at the electoral record of conservatives,

00:19:46.040 you'll know that they don't really win any seats in Quebec.

00:19:48.740 They don't really win any.

00:19:49.500 A good showing for the conservatives in Quebec is to win like five or six seats.

00:19:53.780 That would be considered a good showing.

00:19:55.240 So why is the emphasis so much on how an individual,

00:20:00.020 for a party that basically has no hope of winning seats in Quebec,

00:20:02.720 why are they forced to speak French?

00:20:04.760 All it does is sort of weed out good candidates.

00:20:07.520 It shrinks the playing field of people who might, you know,

00:20:11.540 otherwise be good leaders and make a great leader of the conservative party.

00:20:15.920 Well, of course, you're going to have pundits on the CBC trying to pressure the conservatives

00:20:20.680 because Rose Bright Barton is not a conservative.

00:20:23.860 She hates the conservatives.

00:20:24.820 She has no interest in ever having a conservative person become prime minister

00:20:28.800 because she's pretty open in her views.

00:20:31.400 She's definitely not on the political right. 0.97

00:20:33.900 And so because of that, why is she giving advice and lecturing conservatives saying you must speak French?

00:20:40.560 Well, I think that conservatives would be very well advised to completely ignore everything that Rosemary Barton has to say

00:20:47.260 and frankly ignore what the CBC is saying because they don't have the best interest in the party in mind.

00:20:52.280 It's not like she's advising conservatives because she wants them to win.

00:20:55.700 No, she hates conservatives. 0.99

00:20:57.400 She always emphasizes the negative aspects of conservatives.

00:21:00.600 She jumps to fact check conservatives while brushing over, you know, liberal talking points and allowing liberals to push lies. 1.00

00:21:07.380 She's not a reliable person and not a reliable reporter.

00:21:12.040 And so, again, conservatives should completely ignore what she has to say.

00:21:16.160 Okay, final fake news is over at the Toronto Star.

00:21:19.000 It says, here's why a Stephen Harper loyalist regrets the tough on crime politics he once practiced.

00:21:24.800 This story is about Benjamin Perrin, who was once the prime minister's lawyer,

00:21:29.900 prime minister Stephen Harper's lawyer in the conservative government.

00:21:33.240 So, surprise, surprise, he has a new book that came out that he's trying to push called

00:21:38.180 Overdose, Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis,

00:21:41.980 where he, surprise, surprise, rails against conservatives and says he's had a total change of heart,

00:21:46.860 which is why the Toronto Star is plugging this piece.

00:21:50.060 He's talking about the safe injection sites or basically the location where the Canadian government

00:21:55.940 taxpayers fund heroin needles going out to addicts because instead of actually trying to

00:22:02.120 deal with the problem and treat them and stop the use, instead we resort to just handing out needles

00:22:08.100 and making sure that, hey, if they're going to use drugs, they might as well do it safely.

00:22:12.640 So, Benjamin Perrin used to sort of rail against these kind of policies,

00:22:16.360 used to emphasize more on, you know, being tough on crime and to stop the needles from getting on

00:22:21.120 the street in the first place. But now he's written a book and he wants to get love from

00:22:25.300 the mainstream media. He's turning on his former position. You know, the best way,

00:22:29.820 the easiest way for a conservative to get love in the media is to have a change of heart rail

00:22:34.040 against conservatives. That's been proven time and time again. Just look at Michael Corrin,

00:22:38.480 who used to be a sort of draconian social conservative pushing, you know, the kind of furthest

00:22:44.300 right positions that most conservatives just really never agreed with. And then he has a

00:22:48.820 total change of heart. And now he gets to rail against conservatives saying, I used to do this.

00:22:53.380 I used to believe in this. And now I've seen the light and I'm here to expose how evil conservatives

00:22:57.560 are and were, even though his former positions weren't really truly rooted in conservatism.

00:23:04.160 So again, the Toronto Star just loves conservatives who are willing to bash other conservatives,

00:23:09.180 which is why it's fake news. And there's another element of this story that is also fake news. So

00:23:15.520 Benjamin Perrin was involved in the Mike Duffy trial. And this is the way that it was characterized

00:23:20.120 in this Toronto Star piece. It says he did eventually, however, go on to question some of

00:23:25.780 what he experienced during his time in government, perhaps most notably as a witness during the Mike

00:23:30.580 Duffy trial. Perrin parted ways with the line of his former colleagues in the prime minister's office,

00:23:34.960 testifying that Harper had been aware of the controversial $90,000 payoff to Duffy. The PMO

00:23:40.960 did not fare well in the ultimate verdict, with the judge dismissing all charges and slamming the

00:23:46.840 Harper operatives for mind boggling and shocking tactics. Well, this is not true. This is not a

00:23:52.240 representative. This is not an accurate representative of what happened. And Howard Anglin,

00:23:57.420 who was also once in the prime minister's office, he was the deputy chief of staff to the prime

00:24:05.660 minister. He says this, this can't go uncorrected. Quote, Perrin parted ways with the line of his

00:24:12.080 former colleagues in the prime minister's office, testifying that Harper had been aware of the

00:24:16.000 controversial $90,000 payoff to Duffy. Anglin notes that Perrin was acting as a lawyer in the PMO when

00:24:22.680 he negotiated the infamous payment to Duffy. According to his own testimony, he never told the prime

00:24:27.260 minister about the negotiation and never sought the PM's approval for the payment. What he testified

00:24:32.800 is that he interpreted, and it turned out he misinterpreted, an email from his superior as

00:24:38.600 meaning the PM had approved the payment. Contrary to what the article says, he did not testify that

00:24:43.740 the PM knew about the payment or the details of the payment scheme. So, you know, that's a pretty minor

00:24:49.340 detail, and it is kind of insider baseball. But the idea that he's saying that he testified that the

00:24:53.420 prime minister was lying, when in fact, he didn't testify that the prime minister was lying. He

00:24:56.940 testified that it was his understanding from an email that he interpreted that it meant that Harper

00:25:01.380 must have known about this payment. But really, he had just misinterpreted what the email was saying.

00:25:06.380 So, you know, never, never trust the mainstream media. They're always going to try to make

00:25:10.000 conservatives look bad. They're always going to try to hype up every mistake and twist it and make it

00:25:15.780 seem a lot worse than it actually is. And they're going to find any conservative that they can who

00:25:20.720 is willing to bash other conservatives, because that's all they care about, and that's what they

00:25:24.380 want to see. They hate conservatives, they're anti-conservative, and so they love to, you know,

00:25:29.940 praise people like this who are willing to turn on conservatism and say that they had a change of

00:25:35.020 heart, and now they've seen the light. All right, I am going to leave it at that. Thank you so much

00:25:38.960 for tuning in, and we will be back again next week.

00:25:45.780 Thank you.
