The Candice Malcolm Show - The KNIVES come out for Carney, Liberal Party in TURMOIL + How Juno News is fighting WOKE culture

00:00:00.000 I'm Candice Malcolm and this is the Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you

00:00:07.520 today folks and I hope you enjoyed our interview that we did with Premier Danielle Smith, the

00:00:12.320 Alberta Premier, that is up and available on YouTube now so go check that out if you haven't

00:00:17.040 already and I'm going to ask you to do me a quick favor and just like this video it really helps us

00:00:20.880 with the algorithm. Here on YouTube we want to be discovered by as many Canadians as possible.

00:00:25.740 Okay so when I interviewed Premier Danielle Smith this bill had just been announced and we didn't

00:00:30.640 really have time to go through it all on that show and in that interview so I want to spend a bit of

00:00:35.480 time talking about Bill C-5 on the show today and how it really changed it will it could potentially

00:00:41.560 really change our country and Canada do some things that are deeply needed in order to get our economy

00:00:47.680 back on track but it creates a real problem for Prime Minister Mark Carney. It is a serious departure

00:00:54.720 from Liberal policy and basically like the core of the Liberal Party for the past 10 years under

00:01:01.160 the former leader Justin Trudeau so we're going to walk you through all of that today. First Bill C-5

00:01:06.980 I'm going to show this clip here is the Prime Minister on Friday alongside Intergovernmental Affairs

00:01:12.240 Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Internal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland announcing this new bill on

00:01:19.280 Friday here. Let's play that clip. With the one Canadian economy bill we are aligning federal rules and

00:01:24.680 regulations with those from the provinces and territories helping to create one market not

00:01:30.440 13. The second component of the bill enables the federal government to identify and expedite

00:01:36.700 nation building projects. Canada is a country that used to build big things but in recent decades

00:01:44.520 it's become too difficult to build in this country. Now all of that is completely true and this is all

00:01:50.740 what has come out of that first minister's meeting that happened in Saskatoon last week they were sort

00:01:55.880 of teasing this and here it is. Now I want to read from the Toronto Star. I don't usually point to

00:02:01.420 something from the Toronto Star but this is an op-ed an opinion article sorry written by Althea Raj who is

00:02:07.140 sort of one of the main people at the Toronto Star these days and this is what her headline says. She says

00:02:13.360 Mark Carney can't be allowed to ram through his plan to build big right. So for people like me and maybe

00:02:20.220 people like you when we see a bill that plans to just get things done get things built and get our

00:02:26.160 economy back on track that's like music to our ears right. But to someone like Althea Raj to readers of

00:02:31.960 the Toronto Star to the sort of base of the Liberal Party and what that party has been built under the last

00:02:37.920 10 years this is like a calamity. It is like a disaster that cannot happen. And so I'm going to read a bit

00:02:43.560 from Althea Raj just so you get an idea of how liberal liberal how people in liberal world are thinking right

00:02:50.320 now. So she says a pic they say a picture is worth a thousand words. And so on Friday when Prime Minister Mark

00:02:56.160 Carney announced his new omnibus bill that gives cabinet the right to circumvent environmental laws in the name of

00:03:02.020 getting big resource projects built. Perhaps it was noteworthy that environment and climate minister

00:03:07.500 Julie Dabruson was not one of the five cabinet ministers serving as the prime minister's

00:03:13.100 backdrop. Yes so for liberals is very concerning that the climate minister the environment minister

00:03:18.960 wasn't there wasn't part of it even though frankly it doesn't really have to do with the environment

00:03:23.740 right it's the idea is that it's part the first part of this bill is free trade and labor mobility

00:03:29.440 so getting rid of interprovincial trade barriers that was Mark Carney's pledge on the election campaign

00:03:34.320 he said it was going to happen by Canada Day that is why Chrystia Freeland was there. And then the

00:03:39.720 second part of the bill is the Building Canada Act the bill that's supposed to just you know get big

00:03:45.760 resource projects built right so neither of those are really to the environment but you can see for

00:03:50.660 a liberal that is very disturbing and very upsetting. So Althea Raj says Bill C-5 was quickly panned by

00:03:57.040 indigenous groups human rights organizations and environmental non-for-profits alarmed by the

00:04:01.520 government's actions. She goes on she says the bill is actually two pieces of legislation that's sort of

00:04:05.260 what I just explained and then she says this this is the type of legislation that conservative prime

00:04:11.000 minister Stephen Harper might have been too timid to bring forward fearing a public backlash. It hands over

00:04:16.800 sweeping decision-making powers to one cabinet minister in untransparent ways, gives cabinet the ability to

00:04:22.780 delete environmental laws from consideration, and creates a dangerous precedent that should be looked at with a

00:04:28.140 fine-toothed comb. Despite the vehement opposition from the Bloc Quebecois, the NDP, and the Green Party, it may

00:04:34.980 still sail through the commons with the support of the conservatives. Wow. Imagine that folks, the liberals and the

00:04:42.420 conservatives teaming up to build a pro-Canada, pro-infrastructure, pro-energy bill. I did not expect this. I did not

00:04:50.540 expect to see this from Mark Carney. I want to continue just a little bit further from Althea Raj's piece here because

00:04:57.940 again, I really think it paints the picture of the problem for Mark Carney. I think that the knives are

00:05:03.400 starting to come out for Mark Carney. It starts with someone like Althea Raj, who is in touch with the

00:05:08.340 Liberal Party base. She is friendly with people and liberal insiders. So this is clearly what she is

00:05:13.920 hearing from her friends who are the ones who used to be in Justin Trudeau's inner circle. And maybe they're

00:05:19.980 on the outs with Mark Carney, I'm just guessing. But that it seems to be where this is going. So she says that

00:05:26.480 the bill will also allow cabinet to ignore laws it doesn't want to abide by. For example, if the

00:05:30.900 government is worried about the outcome of a review triggered by the Canadian Environmental Protection

00:05:36.040 Act, it could delete the act from consideration. The minority liberal government is defeated next

00:05:40.640 year. The law would allow the next prime minister, say current Conservative leader, Pierre Polyev, to

00:05:45.380 delete all 13 laws and seven regulations used to evaluate and consider such projects. She continues and

00:05:53.240 says when pressured in the Commons on Monday about the bill representing a backward step for

00:05:58.560 environment and democracy, House leader Stephen McKinnon responded that C5 is an answer to an

00:06:05.120 economic crisis, an economic crisis provoked by our neighbors to the south and a commercial

00:06:10.260 crisis. And then it says Carney wants to fast track this bill through Parliament at breakneck speed.

00:06:17.200 This is all really interesting, right? This is, again, saying that we have an issue with

00:06:22.920 the economy. And Mark Carney has said that he is going to come forth with a plan. The idea that

00:06:28.640 environmental laws were put in place to block projects is the problem. That is the problem that

00:06:34.180 the prime minister needs to overcome. Because particularly under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,

00:06:38.980 they let the environment minister go way too far and put way too many restrictions to the point where

00:06:44.780 we can't get anything built. That's why Bill C-69 is called the No New Pipelines Bill,

00:06:48.740 because they made it so onerous to get an environmental review done that it's literally

00:06:53.600 designed to never allow anything to get built ever. And so this is just Mark Carney simply saying a lot

00:07:00.400 of those laws that were made in the past need to go, right? And it's a lot easier to do it through a

00:07:05.320 bill like this than it would be to try to fight back on each of those individual laws. So from my

00:07:10.660 perspective, folks, this is good news. I don't say this lightly. I don't come out and compliment Mark

00:07:15.740 Carney and the Liberals very often, if ever, frankly. But when I see something I like,

00:07:19.660 I'm going to say it. And I think that this is something that can be very good for the country,

00:07:24.260 very good for Canada. And so the question that's sort of come up from all of this is,

00:07:30.480 do we need a consensus when it comes to pipelines? Does every single party in the country,

00:07:35.180 every single person, every single interest group have to agree? Well, if that's the case,

00:07:38.640 we're just never going to get anything built. And that is pretty much exactly what Pierre Paglia,

00:07:43.600 the conservative leader, had to say. So here he is speaking to reporters on Monday and just

00:07:49.340 basically saying it like it is. Let's play that clip.

00:07:51.580 Do you think, like Mark Carney, there needs to be consensus to go forward with these big

00:07:56.820 nation-building projects?

00:07:59.800 No, we've got to get it done. We need a pipe. At the end of the day,

00:08:04.480 if you wait till everybody agrees on everything, nothing will happen.

00:08:08.100 You're never going to get everybody to agree on every single project.

00:08:11.560 Now, that is 100% correct, 100% true and interesting that we could start to see some

00:08:17.480 kind of points of agreement between conservative leader Pierre Paglia and, yes, the liberal prime

00:08:23.180 minister, Mark Carney. But again, it will come down to whether Mark Carney can stand up to the

00:08:28.400 extremists in his own party, whether this is his party and he's going to lead it and this is the

00:08:33.180 direction he's going to go, or whether he's going to get overtaken by the same forces. I mean,

00:08:38.620 again, this was Justin Trudeau's party up until about six months ago. And so, you know, we can

00:08:43.540 pretend that with a new leader, it's a totally different direction, but he has to bring the

00:08:47.440 rest of his party with him. And again, judging from that Althea Raj piece, it doesn't seem

00:08:51.520 like he has it. Now, folks, we're going to spend quite a bit of time in the next few weeks

00:08:55.720 talking about the G7 meeting. It is coming up at the end of next week. I really think that this is

00:09:01.960 the thing that Mark Carney has been waiting his entire life to do. I think part of the reason he wanted to

00:09:05.620 become prime minister of Canada was so that he could lead Canada during these G7 meetings. It's

00:09:10.540 an important one. It's in Canada and it's representing the 50th anniversary of the organization.

00:09:16.420 Now, I just want to quickly note this, that Mark Carney put out his three objectives, his three

00:09:20.560 priorities for the G7. And it has nothing to do with Justin Trudeau and his woke agenda. It is

00:09:26.500 actually quite a grown-up, mature priorities. Again, something that you might see from a conservative

00:09:31.320 government. So these are the core objectives that Mark Carney is trying to put forth during the G7.

00:09:35.600 Number one, protecting our communities and the world. So strengthening our national security

00:09:40.780 against foreign interference and transnational crime. Number two is building energy security and

00:09:46.900 accelerating the digital transformation. So he's talking about fortifying critical mineral supply

00:09:51.180 chains, using AI and quantum to unleash economic growth. And number three, securing the partnerships

00:09:56.540 of the future, catalyzing enormous private investment to build stronger infrastructure, create higher

00:10:01.820 paying jobs. Again, I'm here for it. This sounds a lot like a conservative. And the third thing that

00:10:07.280 sounds a lot like a conservative, Carney has unveiled his plan to hit 2% defense spending as NATO goal.

00:10:14.120 We all know that NATO requires that every country spend 2% of their GDP on defense. Canada never gets

00:10:20.780 anywhere close to that. So Mark Carney is saying it's happening. It's going to happen. And now NATO is now

00:10:26.540 looking at a 5% target. So beefing up national security, beefing up defense sounds good to me.

00:10:32.880 Again, it'll all come down to whether this is going to stay. This is going to be the liberal government

00:10:38.160 if 2025 is going to stay the course or whether Mark Carney is just inevitably going to cave to those

00:10:44.760 liberal environmentalist globalist interests. I'm not saying which way I think will happen because I'm not

00:10:50.620 sure. Time will tell. But I will just say, quite interesting. Now, in a bit of a relish of the

00:10:55.720 past, and this is an interesting one, Premier Daniel Smith reunites a feud with Stéphane

00:11:02.160 Guilbault over his plans for Canada's national parks. So I'm going to read a little bit from

00:11:06.960 Rahim Mohamed's piece in the National Post on Monday. He writes that Guilbault, a former Greenpeace

00:11:11.960 activist, was shuttled out of the environmental portfolio in March by predecessor Mark Carney,

00:11:16.720 but he was kept in cabinet and he is now the minister responsible for Parks Canada.

00:11:21.220 Now, this puts him in charge of implementing the Liberals' campaign promise to create at least

00:11:26.220 10 new national parks and protect 30% of public lands by 2030. According to Parks Canada's website,

00:11:32.920 the agency is currently vetting four proposed national parks in protected areas,

00:11:36.560 including northern Manitoba watershed on Hudson's Bay, which is one possible destination for future oil

00:11:43.280 shipments. So, of course, the concern here is that Stephen Guilbault is a zealot. He is a crazy

00:11:49.140 person and he is obsessed with blocking our energy resource development to protect what he calls 0.99

00:11:55.260 protect the environment. Now, Daniel Smith called him out on this on her weekly radio show. So I'm

00:12:00.720 going to play an audio clip here of Daniel Smith saying that Stephen Guilbault has an overt motive

00:12:06.680 to establish new federally protected parks in the path of pipelines and other critical energy

00:12:13.300 infrastructure and that she will not allow him to do that if she has any power over it. So let's

00:12:19.460 play that clip. All right. Here's a text her in. I think he's questioning or wondering whether Stephen

00:12:26.040 Guilbault has some ulterior motives. He said, with Stephen Guilbault stating that he will be creating

00:12:31.220 new federal parks. Do you have a plan to counteract this action? Should these be another land grab to

00:12:38.580 stop Alberta from getting oil or LNG pipelines built? I don't think he has an ulterior motive. I

00:12:44.780 think he has an overt motive to do exactly what that texter said. We've already put legislation in

00:12:50.480 place. I do not want to see one additional acre of territory that's within Alberta turned into a federal

00:12:56.740 park, urban or national or otherwise. Okay. And I'm very excited to announce a new contributor here

00:13:04.260 at Juno News. We have a new show with Melanie Bennett. So Melanie Bennett is a researcher and

00:13:09.960 an investigative journalist with True North Wire, and she is host of the new show called Disrupted

00:13:16.020 that will appear here on Juno News. So Melanie, welcome to the network and welcome to the Candace

00:13:21.620 Malcolm Show. Oh, thank you for having me. So pleased to be here. Okay. Well, I want to give

00:13:26.340 a little bit of a tease to our audience of what kind of things that they can expect. Now, I think

00:13:31.420 here at the Candace Malcolm Show and at Juno News, part of the reason we built this company is to combat

00:13:36.580 the worst excesses of the woke left and how it's really taken over parts of our culture, specifically

00:13:42.860 around education and government. And so I want you to talk a little bit about, you know, what kind of

00:13:49.120 topics you're going to be covering and what people can expect from your show.

00:13:53.500 So far, I've spent a lot of time investigating the, I suppose, ideological excesses in our education

00:14:01.720 system, mostly in Ontario, but also other parts of Canada. And I would like to bring that to the

00:14:08.320 audience at Juno News. So there'll be that and other political, cultural analysis as it comes along.

00:14:15.080 So a little bit different for Juno, but it should be interesting.

00:14:19.460 Great. Well, let's talk about a story that you just broke on Monday, yesterday. Elementary teachers

00:14:24.400 told to decolonize minds in an anti-white seminar. You know, I read about this and I think it is 1.00

00:14:29.940 probably the most racist thing I've ever heard happen in a Canadian school. So can you walk us

00:14:34.960 through this one?

00:14:35.500 I attended a seminar, a union anti-racism or anti-black racism seminar in the spring on my

00:14:43.600 own. I wasn't a journalist then. I was just a member of the public. Obviously, I have an interest

00:14:47.500 in this, these sorts of topics. And I saw that this particular union, the Elementary Teachers of

00:14:52.820 Toronto Union had opened their conference to members of the public. So, you know, I phoned up the

00:14:59.320 union. I said, listen, can I come? I use my real name or why would I, you know, use any other name?

00:15:04.220 And so I attended this conference and I knew it was going to be rather interesting when I saw one

00:15:10.660 of the talks was decoding whiteness in parent-caregiver interactions, which is the real reason that I 0.89

00:15:17.200 wanted to go, which is in the article that I shared. And it didn't disappoint. I was absolutely

00:15:22.580 there to learn whether or not my own research into critical race theory and culturally relevant

00:15:28.300 and responsive pedagogy, which I talk a lot about, was, you know, what I thought it was if I was

00:15:33.640 among supporters of it. And it really is. I was shocked of the level of what felt very much like

00:15:44.220 anti-white racism. And that's something that I've tried not to, a term that I've tried not to use because

00:15:51.160 I was like, well, I know in the literature, they're very careful to say this is not anti-white.

00:15:56.720 But it really felt like that coming from some of the some of the things that were said there,

00:16:02.780 some of the questions from the audience. And I wanted to convey that in in the article that I

00:16:07.640 wrote. So I included some clips so people could sort of see for themselves that even though they

00:16:11.920 say that the concept of, you know, disrupting and dismantling whiteness is is about disrupting and 0.73

00:16:17.560 dismantling a system that often this gets lost in translation and can very much turn or at least

00:16:26.060 very much seems like it turns into bigotry against white people. And I think I think I did that in the 0.83

00:16:33.560 article. I think people can see that for themselves. Well, we do have a clip. This is from an individual

00:16:38.480 named Michelle Monroe, who I'm guessing is one of the leaders of this of this conference that you

00:16:44.300 attended. And she told participants that educators are shaped and trained in a white system and that

00:16:50.880 the curriculum is a way to cover a white curriculum. So let's play this audio that you uncovered from

00:16:56.100 this meeting. So why do this has an influence education, right? Many of our educators are shaped

00:17:03.860 or trained in a white system. The curriculum they cover is a white curriculum. The way in which it's

00:17:10.000 delivered. So why would they end up in our classroom if it's something different?

00:17:14.680 So you can see for yourself there, folks, you know, what kind of things we're dealing with here.

00:17:20.260 Another story, Melanie, that you broke last week came from the Waterloo School Board. And the headline

00:17:26.240 is school board trains staff that the term family is harmful and racist. And so can you can you walk us

00:17:34.940 through this story as well? Absolutely. That was a training that was leaked to me. And when I went

00:17:43.600 through, I recognized many of the principles of critical race theory that I'd been studying. And so

00:17:48.940 this very much reflected those principles. And I felt it was important for people to understand that

00:17:52.500 this is the foundational basis, it seems, for most of the anti-oppressive education. And so this is what

00:17:58.440 it what it looks like, this particular training. Now, the article focused on the family, but does go

00:18:04.380 into a little bit more detail about sort of the broader ideology. And it certainly caught the

00:18:08.840 attention of the Waterloo District School Board, who, since that article, actually put out a statement

00:18:14.700 acknowledging that this is this is their training, which is something different. I mean, there's lots

00:18:19.420 of material that's been coming out of schools for a long time. But this school board acknowledged it,

00:18:24.400 which was really great that they acknowledged it. They did say, however, that my article

00:18:28.220 lacked context. I did reach out to them for that context before the article and since the article,

00:18:34.240 and I haven't received it. But that is very much I think that's a really important detail that at

00:18:40.720 least at least they're acknowledging that they're doing this now. Well, I guess there's some progress.

00:18:45.160 But I mean, looking at these slides, like I just I can't really wrap my head around the fact that

00:18:49.860 this is part of the curriculum that at least are teaching teachers. I don't know how much of it is

00:18:55.020 getting passed along to students. But folks, you can see and for the listening audience,

00:18:59.940 one one slide here says unpacking whiteness. Whiteness is a system. We have been conditioned to 0.89

00:19:06.040 be part of the system. Whiteness is a construct that allows white supremacy to flourish. And when it 0.90

00:19:11.860 comes to the family, dismantling whiteness, words matter. The word family is identified as harmful by our

00:19:18.760 racialized students. It implies values of male authority and hierarchy. It implies a nuclear family 0.60

00:19:24.380 structure, not the same for everyone. And niceness, it asks for obedience. So I guess they're not

00:19:32.040 supposed to use the term family because it's racist. Is that is that is that what they're teaching here,

00:19:36.580 Melanie? Yes, in a roundabout way, because a nuclear family is what they're specifically referring to a

00:19:44.020 nuclear family as part of the white dominant culture. And a white dominant culture is oppressive

00:19:48.860 because it is a hegemonic culture. And so you to to disrupt and dismantle whiteness, we must disrupt 0.97

00:19:56.700 and dismantle the nuclear family. And so this is, again, all in line with critical race. I just wanted 0.88

00:20:01.560 to add that since this particular article went viral all over the place, frankly, my my Twitter has been

00:20:10.920 attacked. And I'm I've been suspended. You can't actually I posted those slides, all of the slides

00:20:16.940 that I had on my Twitter, and you can't see them right now. They they've been censored off off the

00:20:23.020 Internet. So I wanted people to go look at it for themselves so they could see it's not just that

00:20:27.680 slide. It's all the other slides are in line with with what this particular slide is saying. And you can't

00:20:33.520 even go look at it right now. Well, it's shocking. I thought that Elon Musk bought Twitter so that we would

00:20:39.560 move away from this type of censorship that happens, but certainly does. It happens to us

00:20:43.640 here on YouTube sometimes as well, Melanie. Well, thank you so much for your reporting. I mean,

00:20:48.380 this is clearly a widespread problem. And I'm very glad that we have someone on the team that is just
