Candice talks about the coronavirus outbreak in China and how it's spreading around the world. She also talks about Canada's open borders, and how Justin Trudeau is using it to boost his 2020 re-election campaign.
00:07:34.260We know that keeping Canadians safe needs to be done in the right way.
00:07:38.640And we're going to keep doing things that actively keep Canadians safe.
00:07:43.040There is a lot of misinformation out there.
00:07:45.400There's a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn't keeping people safe.
00:07:48.780That is having a real challenging impact on communities, on community safety, said Justin Trudeau.
00:07:54.700So again, Justin Trudeau is more concerned about misinformation and stopping a knee-jerk reaction than actually keeping Canadians safe.
00:08:03.220He appointed Chrystia Freeland to sort of be the head person to take the lead on this issue.
00:08:08.140Because, again, Justin Trudeau doesn't really care about Canada, so he just kind of offloads all of the real, like, prime minister stuff, all the responsibility.
00:08:15.480On to Chrystia Freeland, who at this point essentially is the prime minister of Canada.
00:08:19.880You know, it's kind of interesting because in the United States, just to compare the two situations,
00:08:24.360Donald Trump appointed his VP, Mike Pence, to be the head person, the sort of czar on the coronavirus to lead the task force.
00:08:31.360And the media made a huge deal about it.
00:08:33.600They were kind of saying, hey, look, Trump's putting this on Pence.
00:08:39.880This pandemic is going to hit the United States.
00:08:41.940Trump's going to blame it all on Pence.
00:08:43.340And they kind of made a big deal about how this was a way for Trump to kind of get rid of Pence so he could put someone else on the ticket in 2020.
00:09:17.980And the government created a COVID-19 committee.
00:09:20.680COVID-19 is the technical name for the coronavirus.
00:09:23.520So the fact that the government created a committee to just to deal with this as a task force to react and to deal with it signals that they care about it.
00:09:32.600Right. The kind of entire exercise is a PR response.
00:09:36.060Like, hey, look, the government's doing something.
00:09:40.540Rest assured, Canadians, you know, the government is doing something.
00:09:43.320But then as the head of this COVID-19 committee, Chrystia Freeland comes out and she tells reporters that the government wants to take a Goldilocks approach.
00:09:52.900She says, not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
00:09:57.060OK, the entire point of creating a committee is to signal to Canadians that you're doing something, that you are taking the right approach, that you're taking it seriously,
00:10:05.360and that you're going to do what you can to help prevent or at least contain the spread of this virus.
00:10:10.440So coming out and saying, you know what, we don't want to overreact.
00:14:17.260He has a thread on how Iran is just totally botching the reaction to the coronavirus.
00:14:22.200And it's just, you know, this is sort of like what the reality is of living in a tyrannical state,
00:14:28.380living in an Islamic dictatorship like Iran, the kinds of things that they do.
00:14:32.920They're just so clueless and so evil, so vicious in how they respond to this.
00:14:39.700So one of the things that they were doing, basically they're kind of profiting off of the coronavirus.
00:14:44.540They're trying to profit while also trying to downplay it and sort of getting help.
00:14:48.680You know, the World Health Organization is, again, kind of applauding Iran.
00:14:52.380They said that they were doing positive work and that they've made amazing advances in dealing with coronavirus.
00:14:58.840Meanwhile, a member of Iran's National Influenza Committee said that they're estimating that 30 to 40 percent of Tehran's population will be affected by COVID-19 by March 20th.
00:15:11.400So that's within two weeks, 30 to 40 percent of a city with a population of 12 million people.
00:15:16.920So we're really talking about a major outbreak.
00:15:19.660That's not now. That's just what the estimates are.
00:15:21.960There's all kinds of footage of just how horribly the government has been handling, even just dealing with with bodies of people who have passed away,
00:15:30.760sort of throwing them into mass graves, which is just a terrible way to deal with a, you know, a body,
00:15:38.040but also very dangerous when you're talking about people who have perished because of this disease.
00:15:43.460They also were showing how the government was selling supposedly antibacterial sprays that they were selling in stores.
00:15:53.500It turns out that they were basically air fresheners.
00:15:56.000They were just air fresheners with a label that the government had put over top of it to say antibacterial sprays.
00:16:01.160You could kind of just peel it off and realize that it was nothing but an air freshener.
00:16:05.720So, again, this is the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is their military basically profiting off of selling people air fresheners instead of antibacterial sprays.
00:16:18.720So this is just a reminder of, you know, the worst possible reaction, an incompetent totalitarian government showing you, you know, what you don't want to do with corona.
00:16:29.240And, again, the reason that so many people in Iran are being affected by this disease is because Iran, basically no Western country will do business with Iran.
00:17:12.760It is about how illegal border crossers and asylum claimants whose cases have not even been heard in front of an immigration judge are being granted 20-year health cards, 20-year all-access cards to gold-plated health care services above and beyond what Canadians receive.
00:17:29.780So this is including anything under the Canada Health Act, any health care services, as well as full dental coverage, which Canadians either pay for through their employer and insurance or right out of pocket, and prescription drugs.
00:17:41.940So they get free, unlimited prescription drugs.
00:17:45.460This is all part of a program called the Interim Federal Health Care Program.
00:17:49.320But what is new is that we didn't know that the government was issuing 20-year cards.
00:17:54.100I mean, the whole point of being a refugee is that you come, you become a refugee, you maybe get the Interim Federal Health Program while you're waiting for, you know, your papers to come in, your paperwork, all that kind of stuff, until you can become a permanent resident and then a citizen.
00:18:11.080And then once you're a citizen, you're no longer a refugee, you're now just a Canadian.
00:18:14.760So why on earth is the government issuing a 20-year card?
00:18:19.540So I talked to a whistleblower who works at a medical office in York Region.
00:18:25.260This person is a medical assistant, and they spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, but they did provide a lot of supporting documentation to back up the claims.
00:18:33.100And basically what I saw was certificates issued by the government that said 20 years.
00:18:38.780So they were issued in February 2020, and they expire in February 2040.
00:18:43.580And so this whistleblower was basically just really concerned because they'd never seen this before, and they didn't really understand why a person who has crossed into Canada illegally, someone who's not even deemed a refugee yet, they haven't even had their case heard,
00:18:58.280why they are being given health care coverage above and beyond what Canadians receive, not just Canadians, better health care than veterans, better health care than people in indigenous communities, better health care than the elderly, than homeless people, than single mothers, better than anybody.
00:19:16.240One of the examples of the documents that I saw was issued to an Iranian woman who was in her 70s, and she had just arrived in Canada, just made her refugee claim, and again, she was given a 20-year certificate.
00:19:27.920So presumably, for the rest of her life, she's going to be able to receive that gold-plated health care in Canada that Canadians are not entitled to.
00:19:38.340So on the certificate, on the document, it says, the above-named individual is eligible for coverage of health care costs under the interim federal health program.
00:19:47.680This coverage can be cancelled without notice if the individual's immigration status changes.
00:19:52.240So according to the form, it kind of says, well, this is what they get until the status changes, and then this gets taken away.
00:19:57.880But in practice, we know the interim federal health program has become a political punching bag in Canadian politics over the last few years.
00:20:05.280The previous Harper conservative government, so before Trudeau was Harper, and he made changes to the interim federal health program.
00:20:13.420He basically tried to limit it so that people whose asylum claims were rejected or people who arrived and made asylum claims in Canada but were from, like, safe European countries or just safe countries, the United States, Western Europe, they didn't get access to this.
00:20:27.220So this was only reserved for true refugees, while the media and the Trudeau liberals spun that to make it say that the Harper government was trying to cut health care for refugees,
00:20:39.180even though the people they were cutting were explicitly not refugees.
00:20:42.580A federal court ruled in favor of that sort of left-wing perspective, the liberal point of view,
00:20:49.220and a federal judge said that it was cruel and unusual, it's a quote, cruel and unusual for the government to withhold this free health care to illegal immigrants.
00:20:58.720So they scrapped the program, and then when the Trudeau liberals came in, they made all kinds of changes to the refugee determination program to make it a lot more generous,
00:21:06.420a lot easier for refugees to come and make claims and get the free health care.
00:21:12.340So, you know, even though the form says that the interim federal health program can be taken away if the person's immigration status changes,
00:21:20.680we know that in practice the Trudeau government will not take it away because they accused the Harper government of being cruel for taking this away.
00:21:30.520So basically what's supposed to be a temporary program, what's supposed to be a limited program, is the opposite.
00:21:36.88020 years is not temporary, and the whole idea that it's limited is not true because it literally includes all the kind of health care,
00:21:43.420including things that Canadians are not eligible.
00:22:03.180They never gave me an explanation about this.
00:22:05.280I think Canadians deserve an explanation because why is it that a person who might not even have a real claim can be a refugee?
00:22:12.100Just because someone says they're a refugee, they actually have to prove it.
00:22:14.980The whole point of our system is that you have to provide evidence and prove to an immigration judge that you are, in fact, a refugee,
00:22:21.800that you do face a well-founded fear of persecution.
00:22:24.840And the people who are being given the health care, the gold-plated 20-year access health care cards, haven't proven that yet.
00:22:30.480So why is it that foreign nationals, people who are not permanent residents, not citizens, are getting a lot better health care than people who pay into the system?
00:22:40.860And I wish that the mainstream media would pay attention to these kind of things because I think that Canadians really, really care about them.
00:22:50.140So I think there's basically a new frontrunner in the race now.
00:22:53.820The media were really trying to paint Peter McKay as sort of the heir apparent of this party, the person who kind of deserves to be the title.
00:23:02.300And they really, really do paint him as a frontrunner, even though, to be completely frank, he's running a very lousy campaign.
00:23:07.680Like any time he takes a stance on an issue, give him like 24 hours and he will reverse it.
00:23:12.560This has happened over and over and over again with Peter McKay.
00:23:15.400He now says that he regrets, a big comment that Peter McKay made right after the election is that he said that Andrew Scheer's social values hung around his neck like a stinking albatross during the campaign.
00:23:27.500Well, he now says that he regrets that comment.
00:23:29.900He said that he was not happy with his own team for tweeting out pictures, a video teasing Justin Trudeau over his yoga expenses.
00:23:39.480So he really quickly, you know, tweeted it out and then backtracked on it and he backtracked on his position about the Israel embassy being in Jerusalem.
00:23:48.880You know, he basically said in an interview that he didn't think that he would keep it there or he didn't think he would move it there.
00:23:54.040And then after some pressure, he changed his mind and said he would.
00:23:56.820So Peter McKay is just all over the place.
00:23:59.980His team is saying one thing and he's sort of saying something else.
00:24:02.880And Aaron O'Toole really is emerging as a frontrunner, as a conservative.
00:24:07.780Aaron O'Toole is kind of hitting all the right notes and he's really, really painting himself as a, you know, true blue, to quote Jason Kenney, a true blue conservative.
00:24:17.780And that's why he has now received the endorsement of Jason Kenney.
00:24:22.080I think at this point, you know, Jason Kenney, Stephen Harper, the two of them are probably the most influential conservatives in Canada right now.
00:24:29.560Jason Kenney even more so because Stephen Harper is not in an office right now, whereas Jason Kenney is the premier of Alberta.
00:24:35.560So he endorsed Aaron O'Toole last week.
00:24:38.800He publicly endorsed O'Toole's conservative leadership bid in an email to Conservative Party of Canada members.
00:24:44.480In the letter, Kenney embraced O'Toole as a true blue leader party needs.
00:24:49.020I saw his passion for serving veterans, his relentless work ethic and his common sense in solving difficult political challenges.
00:24:57.300Kenney wrote O'Toole, that's the leadership we need.
00:25:00.560Aaron O'Toole respects the breadth of our Big Tent coalition.
00:25:04.000Every conservative would be welcome in a party led by Aaron.
00:25:07.740Now, this is just kind of interesting.
