The CBC blows an election call in Quebec, they steal news from a competitor without
00:00:05.080
giving any credit, and they push a divisive, deranged, woke left screed, blaming climate
00:00:11.760
change on, you guessed it, racism and white supremacy.
00:00:16.000
It's Fake News Friday, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:26.840
It is Fake News Friday, our favorite show around here at The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:31.300
Every week on Friday, we gather together the worst examples of media malfeasance here in
00:00:36.900
There are always so many to choose from, especially with the CBC.
00:00:39.780
The CBC just serves us up an array of completely outrageous news stories week after week, day
00:00:46.380
after day, and so we get to parse through it, pick out the worst examples or the best examples
00:00:51.740
from our perspective of just media being completely ideological, completely biased, completely
00:00:59.160
unethical and unprofessional in the way that they deliver you the news, all while taking
00:01:03.840
your money, all while claiming that they have the authority on truth and objectivity and demanding
00:01:09.760
that you pay with your hard-earned money your tax dollars to pay their salary and to pay for
00:01:23.180
Otherwise, we would cry because it is just such a sad state here in Canada.
00:01:30.660

00:02:25.980
So this comes to us over from our friends at Black Locks Reporter.
00:02:38.060
So the CBC apologized after bungling a hasty Quebec City election call that sent the wrong
00:02:43.880
candidate rushing to the podium to mistakenly deliver a TV victory speech.
00:02:49.940
The Crown broadcaster earlier praised itself as a beacon of truth with high newsroom standards.
00:02:57.440
We are sorry, CBC management wrote in a statement.
00:02:59.580
There was no explanation as to why producers rushed to air with an election announcement that
00:03:05.440
So polls closed in the Quebec City municipal election at 8 p.m.
00:03:09.280
And just moments later, so at 8.28, just 28 minutes after polls closed, the CBC announced
00:03:19.820
And because of that, because I guess everybody in Quebec City was watching the CBC, as soon
00:03:24.920
as the CBC declared it news, it must be so, it must be the truth, right?
00:03:29.460
And so it caused the candidate herself, Mary Jose Savard, to go and deliver a victory speech
00:03:35.400
to her campaign, to her supporters who were there with her.
00:03:43.360
So Savard then appeared at her campaign headquarters and delivered her victory speech, again, based
00:03:49.660
A big thank you to the citizens of Quebec for trusting us, Savard said.
00:03:59.560
Remember, it was just 28 minutes after the polls closed that the CBC had made this decision.
00:04:03.940
But by 11 p.m., Savard's opponent had taken the lead, prompting the local media to quip
00:04:12.080
She was only mayor for two hours because all of a sudden it turned out that she hadn't won
00:04:18.060
It was a surprising turn of events, the CBC said in a statement.
00:04:22.320
Our decision-making desk rigorously followed the usual process before declaring Mary Jose
00:04:30.820
We will seek answers to all our questions to explain what may have happened.
00:04:36.120
So Savard's opponent, Bruno Marchand, a community organizer, was declared elected yesterday by 834
00:04:50.380
We understand this is an unfortunate situation for Ms. Savard and her campaign, wrote the
00:04:56.780
So a spectacular blunder over at the CBC, embarrassingly making the wrong call and causing the candidate
00:05:08.460
So Catherine Tate, the CEO over at the state broadcaster, in her last appearance at the
00:05:14.680
Commons Heritage Committee, described the CBC as a truth beacon worthy of $1.3 billion in
00:05:23.300
She was basically just making the case that CBC is the arbiter of truth, that they are
00:05:30.400
And yet they can't even get a basic election call.
00:05:37.000
You basically, you know, you can sort of look at numbers and say, okay, it looks like this
00:05:41.380
But you don't call an election until you're sure.
00:05:43.560
And the fact that they just kind of jumped over their skis here, decided to call the election
00:05:47.640
that early, just shows what an absolute joke they are in terms of their ability to deliver
00:05:57.400
Everybody makes mistakes, but the journalistic standards and practices state very clearly,
00:06:07.540
The CBC is a left-wing advocacy organization, a far-left, pro-liberal, pro-big-L liberal advocacy
00:06:13.920
organization that pretends to be a news organization.
00:06:16.640
They put social justice first, they put Justin Trudeau and the liberals first, and they put
00:06:22.120
And yet, here they are pretending that they are, again, the beacon of journalistic standards.
00:06:28.360
You're a joke, and everybody is laughing at you.
00:06:31.380
This is probably my favorite op-ed of the week.
00:06:33.900
And by favorite, I mean the absolute most terrible thing I had to read all week.
00:06:42.620
That they're supposed to be the news broadcaster when all of a sudden they mix in their own opinion
00:06:46.620
and, of course, their opinions are always far-left, woke, total nonsense, very divisive,
00:06:53.260
When they mix that in with their own news coverage, it waters down the whole brand,
00:06:58.540
And this coming from the state broadcaster is just such a slap in the face to taxpayers.
00:07:05.000
When it comes to climate change, the heavy hand of colonizers is as important as our
00:07:13.060
Solutions that do not disrupt our legal, social, and economic structures will not help us,
00:07:17.600
says this author named Stephanie Arnold, who we learn later is a woke, far-left researcher
00:07:25.180
And, of course, this is part of the CBC's new journalism.
00:07:28.080
Here we have this little disclaimer at the top.
00:07:30.020
This story is part of a CBC News initiative entitled
00:07:35.640
Our Changing Planet to show and explain the effect of climate change and what is being
00:07:41.440
We talked about this a couple weeks ago on the show, how the CBC has completely reoriented
00:07:45.480
itself to being a climate change alarmism, fanaticism news site.
00:07:51.420
It's written right into their policy that their job in journalism isn't just to report the
00:07:55.940
news, but it's to push these wild, wild stories about climate alarmism and sort of promote
00:08:14.480
And so here we see all of these very trendy, woke, young Montrealers out there advocating,
00:08:38.000
marching in the streets, demanding for some theoretical target 100 years from now that will
00:08:46.900
But regardless, it makes them feel important and passionate.
00:08:54.160
So basically, the author is saying that climate change, instead of looking at the sort of idea
00:09:00.640
that carbon is causing climate change, let's look deeper.
00:09:03.140
And when we look deeper, we'll realize that climate change is actually just about racism.
00:09:06.980
So here she says, racism causes climate change.
00:09:10.740
So at the core of it is the understanding that the climate crisis is a colonial white supremacist
00:09:18.480
Legal scholar Carmen G. Gonzalez pointed out that the European colonizers use oppressive
00:09:24.220
practices to transform the substance economics of the global South into economic satellites of
00:09:30.960
The process warmed the planet while creating wealth for colonial powers, the domination and
00:09:35.440
exploitation of BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous and People of Color peoples, lands and
00:09:42.240
ecosystems, continue to this day and span across the globe, fueling the climate crisis.
00:09:49.580
Every single sort of left-wing woke buzzword is sort of all wrapped up into this idea that
00:09:55.020
instead of, you know, trying to reduce our carbon footprint, what we really should do is just
00:09:59.400
be smashing down the patriarchy, smashing down white supremacist systems of power, and what?
00:10:08.160
So instead of looking at the scenario of climate change saying, okay, you know, we've become
00:10:12.340
so advanced and so wealthy and so prosperous in the world that so many people are producing
00:10:18.400
carbon emissions, and that's bad for the planet.
00:10:20.400
So let's all sort of like collectively try to reduce our emissions or come up with technology
00:10:24.620
to kind of band together as a civilization and try to improve the outcomes of our planet.
00:10:30.700
Instead of looking at it like that, which is sort of the way that we look at it now,
00:10:34.160
she's saying, no, let's instead divide the problem into white people versus everyone else,
00:10:40.300
or as they say, BIPOC people versus the colonizers, and then just sort of shift the blame at the
00:10:47.140
white people and say, the real problem here isn't climate and it isn't carbon.
00:10:51.160
It's white supremacy, it's you evil white people, you've caused all these problems.
00:10:55.620
And so she goes on this long rant talking about how, you know, the whole idea is that
00:11:02.440
before the colonizers came, before the Europeans came, everybody was happy, they had their lifestyle
00:11:10.100
And then these oppressors came and colonized everything, and we have to get rid of that.
00:11:14.520
So she sort of glazes over a couple of important facts here.
00:11:17.340
Like with the advent of free markets and Western liberal democracy and the sort of spread around
00:11:23.480
the world, particularly in the post-Soviet world, where since 1990, we've seen 1.2 billion
00:11:32.300
So more people have opportunities, more people have jobs, more people live in stable, free
00:11:37.520
Instead of sort of celebrating that and say, wow, this is great, you know, more and more
00:11:41.200
people have access to electricity and clean drinking water and medicine and all these
00:11:46.300
things that are needed to live and more people are part of the global economy.
00:11:50.880
Instead, this author is basically saying that these people are to blame and that we need
00:11:58.820
I will give her credit for one good point that she makes.
00:12:01.160
She talks about how, as an example, there's this sort of idea of fast fashion.
00:12:05.480
So people are constantly buying new clothes and something's in fashion one month and then
00:12:09.920
the next month they want to go with something else.
00:12:14.300
And because of that, it generates a lot of waste.
00:12:16.400
And she's also saying that it exploits natural human ecosystems to produce all these clothes.
00:12:21.960
And so she's saying that, you know, we should change our lifestyle so that we're not wearing
00:12:26.140
I assume that her target audience in this is actually the teenagers that we saw at the beginning,
00:12:31.060
the ones that are marching in Montreal, all of those trendy, woke environmentalists who
00:12:36.260
are, you know, probably the ones that are into this fast fashion idea or cheap fashion
00:12:42.960
So I did appreciate that comment because usually what we see from those environmentalists is
00:12:52.420
Meanwhile, they're, you know, using their cell phones and they're wearing Gore-Tex rain jackets
00:12:56.240
that are made of oil and they're, you know, all the things in their life that require oil.
00:13:00.620
They're kind of divorced from the idea of where these items come from.
00:13:05.500
So she did sort of have a little bit of a nod to that in there.
00:13:10.060
But the rest of the piece is just an absolute screed of nonsense where she basically just,
00:13:15.680
again, uses every woke keyword to blame, you know, racism and white supremacy.
00:13:22.320
Most people when they encounter a piece of news like this or something like this on CBC,
00:13:31.240
And it's not a very good way of engaging people.
00:13:35.840
They are perfectly happy to publish something that is completely divisive,
00:13:39.440
that is pretty racist in the underlying message and the flat out message by blaming white supremacy,
00:13:45.700
saying that that's to fault for climate change.
00:13:49.520
The CBC is happy to publish the most far left wing piece of writing that they can find.
00:13:54.800
Whereas when it comes to anything, even sort of centrist or moderately conservative,
00:14:01.720
But again, we're supposed to believe that they are transparent.
00:14:06.500
The entire show today is dedicated to CBC, by the way.
00:14:13.020
This one here says the pandemic caused care delays as trans Ottowans transitioned.
00:14:22.320
So trans women are biological males who identify as women.
00:14:25.900
So CBC Ottawa asked two trans women to share their experiences of transitioning during the pandemic.
00:14:31.620
Okay, so we hear right in the headline that the pandemic caused delays.
00:14:35.560
So maybe these men were trying to get access to hormone pills,
00:14:38.820
or maybe they were getting some kind of surgery.
00:14:45.980
Okay, let's read this story to find out what the health care delays
00:14:50.040
that were so horrific for these trans individuals happened.
00:14:54.620
Though Sophie McCarroll began her transition before the pandemic,
00:14:57.720
she says the majority of her journey took place in the new normal of COVID-19.
00:15:03.040
especially hard for the 35-year-old software engineer.
00:15:07.540
not being able to meet others in the community or celebrate her new self.
00:15:10.600
I would have loved to participate in my first pride parade, she said.
00:15:17.320
That included a new, more feminine way of speaking,
00:15:20.120
a common practice for trans women who work on modulating their voices to a higher tone.
00:15:24.400
I'm just reading this article as it's coming in.
00:15:28.580
What we've heard is that this person hasn't been able to participate in a pride parade
00:15:33.220
and hasn't been able to practice speaking in a higher tone as a woman would.
00:15:39.180
Accessing laser hair removal for her face presented another challenge.
00:15:43.520
Something, she says, greatly lessened her symptoms of dysphoria
00:15:51.200
It was amazing, she said, being able to wear foundation,
00:15:53.760
look in the mirror and not feel frustrated and not be sad.
00:15:56.300
Then COVID arrived and facial laser hair removals were deemed too risky
00:16:02.900
After they stopped, McCurl's hair started to grow back.
00:16:08.000
Then she argues that these treatments should not have been deemed non-essential.
00:16:11.700
She said that it was essential for her to have her hair removal.
00:16:17.900
you assume that some kind of care, some kind of healthcare wasn't available.
00:16:21.440
But no, what we're talking about is just normal routine grooming.
00:16:24.620
The same thing that everyone else in the entire country had to go through.
00:16:32.620
a sob story written about me in the CDC because of it.
00:16:39.460
We're supposed to feel sorry for these individuals
00:16:41.240
because they couldn't participate in a pride parade,
00:16:43.600
because they couldn't go and get hair removal services.
00:16:48.360
Almost 30,000 people in Canada have died with COVID or because of COVID.
00:16:52.980
Doctors say that mental health in children is at a crisis level.
00:16:56.580
At least 2,300 Canadians died waiting for actual surgeries,
00:17:03.420
So we're talking about tens of thousands of people in this country dying.
00:17:06.560
And here the CBC comes up with a sob story about these two trans individuals
00:17:10.620
because they couldn't fully enjoy their new life.
00:17:18.520
Imagine being at any stage in your life, planning a wedding.
00:17:22.920
and the kids can't go out and enjoy the things that they used to be able to enjoy.
00:17:25.900
Everybody in COVID has stories of restrictions in their life,
00:17:29.920
but you don't see the CBC making a big deal out of those.
00:17:33.420
Again, just pushing this sort of crazy woke ideology
00:17:36.020
that we're always supposed to feel sorry for trans people,
00:17:39.660
that they're always the victims no matter what.
00:17:43.660
happy with the fact that they live in a world where they can transition
00:17:51.340
But still, they live in a society that's so open-minded
00:17:56.240
They were allowed to all of a sudden identify as the opposite gender.
00:18:02.200
It's really, really just a sad state over at the CBC
00:18:05.600
that this is the kind of ideology that they promote.
00:18:08.180
Okay, final story I want to talk about here is this story over on the CBC
00:18:11.660
about the Saskatchewan Premier, Premier Scott Moe.
00:18:15.020
So he was on the radio show, the Roy Greene Show,
00:18:17.240
and they were talking about the new climate proposals
00:18:23.740
And basically, Scott Moe said, look, enough is enough.
00:18:26.560
He said that Saskatchewan wants to be a nation within a nation
00:18:29.720
by increasing its own autonomy, good for them, by the way,
00:18:34.900
He says that he was upset because he wasn't consulted by Ottawa
00:18:38.020
before their recent caps and omission statements were announced.
00:18:43.940
We were all kind of blindsided by Justin Trudeau's craziness,
00:18:47.020
crazy speeches that he gave over in Scotland at COP26.
00:18:49.980
My colleague, Anthony Fury, did a great video here at True North
00:18:52.800
about how he promoted things that were really, really outside the norm
00:18:58.040
And everyone just kind of shrugged, even though he's out there
00:19:02.800
that he hasn't even really talked about in Canada before.
00:19:07.200
And he says that he wants the province to be a nation within a nation
00:19:15.160
And so the reason I'm talking about this on Fake News Friday
00:19:19.840
without giving credit to the journalist who actually broke the story.
00:19:22.860
Keep in mind that Scott Moe was doing an interview,
00:19:25.160
a one-on-one interview with radio host Roy Greene on The Roy Greene Show.
00:19:29.160
Would it have really killed the CBC to just mention that?
00:19:31.600
The CBC, by the way, is notorious within the journalism world.
00:19:34.660
I know we pick on CBC a lot, and it's sort of expected
00:19:37.960
because we're conservatives and they're this far-left news network
00:19:41.080
that's on the dole that's taking all this taxpayers' money.
00:19:45.440
working at a lot of different news stations across the country
00:19:50.100
A lot of people roll their eyes and just shake their head
00:19:55.000
One of the things that the CBC is notorious for
00:19:57.100
is stealing people's stories without giving credit.
00:20:04.140
and then all of a sudden the CBC is reporting it
00:20:07.280
and sometimes even calling their own scoop an exclusive,
00:20:10.300
which is just completely irresponsible, completely unethical.
00:20:13.840
So again, here we see the CBC put out this story.
00:20:37.940
not even allowing Canadians who might be interested
00:20:59.040
Totally typical, totally typical bad behavior by the CBC.
