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
00:07:59.800
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
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
00:14:29.940
probably the most racist thing I've ever heard happen in a Canadian school. So can you walk us
00:14:35.500
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
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
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
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
00:19:06.040
be part of the system. Whiteness is a construct that allows white supremacy to flourish. And when it
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
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

and dismantle the nuclear family. And so this is, again, all in line with critical race. I just wanted
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
00:20:53.640
exposing it and letting the public know this is what is happening at our schools. And if we want it
00:20:58.520
to stop, we have to first be aware of it and then make our voices heard. So thanks so much,
00:21:05.560
Melanie. We were looking forward to seeing your show. All right. Thank you.
00:21:09.560
All right, folks. It's all the time we have for today. Thanks so much for tuning in. I'm
