The woke mob wants to erase our history, tear apart our country, and even cancel Canada Day.
00:00:06.180
I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:13.440
Sir Winston Churchill has become just the latest victim of the deranged mob here in Canada.
00:00:19.280
Churchill joins an esteemed club of historical figures who have had their statues defaced or torn down
00:00:25.060
in recent weeks and months in a fit of criminal rage by a nameless, faceless mob.
00:00:32.400
Canada's founding prime minister, Sir Johnny MacDonald, early advocate for universal education,
00:00:37.420
Egerton Ryerson, and Canada's founding monarch, Queen Victoria, have all become the target of
00:00:43.060
cancel culture and woke leftist vandals. And while there is some feigned condemnation from left-wing
00:00:48.900
leaders over the destruction of private property, there's also a growing political and intellectual
00:00:53.840
movement that seeks to legitimize this woke worldview. When news broke that Winston Churchill's statue had
00:01:00.860
been defaced and doused with red paint in Edmonton, Edmonton's wannabe woke mayor Don Iveson failed to
00:01:07.800
condemn the mob. Instead, he sort of promoted this idea that we should apply today's hyper-politicized
00:01:13.580
speech standards to historical figures in the past. Iveson said that he welcomed the discussion of
00:01:20.000
quote, addressing historical wrongdoings and inequalities like systemic racism, unquote. And
00:01:26.800
then he simply said that there's better ways to do this than vandalizing city property. So in other
00:01:32.020
words, he's okay with the concept of tearing down statues, of removing and canceling historical figures
00:01:38.900
who weren't adequately woke, but he just wants to do it through the government, not through mob rule.
00:01:43.680
And he believes that our society is systemically racist and needs to be dismantled. This is critical
00:01:49.520
race theory to a T. But Iveson is far from the only woke public figure promoting this divisive race-based
00:01:56.960
politics. He isn't even the wokest government official in Edmonton City Hall. I think that award
00:02:03.300
might go to Nisha Patel, who is the City of Edmonton's Poet Laureate, a taxpayer-funded government
00:02:09.900
position. And she openly voiced her support of the vandals and their political tactics.
00:02:16.620
If this is what it takes to reach a critical point where opposition is taken seriously by people who
00:02:22.780
are bigoted, this is what we have to do. We shouldn't build statues of anyone. We should take these statues
00:02:28.220
down and show that we are brave enough to embrace that we have new understandings. Not standing up for
00:02:35.180
living people as we exist today shows that you don't care about the people around you. You care more
00:02:40.780
about a name on a plaque than you do about the people who live in your own city. She told Global
00:02:45.340
News that the vandalism simply shows that any attempt at dialogue or outreach has truly failed,
00:02:51.820
and that there are angry people with valid feelings who want to express their frustration.
00:02:58.460
According to Global, she also added that it's important to note that the people who
00:03:03.020
vandalized the statue did not harm anyone. You get that? If you're on the far left,
00:03:09.660
it's perfectly reasonable for you to be angry and for you to express that anger and that frustration
00:03:15.340
through the destruction of property. I wonder if she would apply that same logic to people on the right
00:03:20.940
who are angry about, oh, I don't know, high taxes or mismanaged immigration policies.
00:03:26.060
Would she also be okay with them expressing their anger and their frustration through the destruction of
00:03:30.940
property? Or is it only the far left who are allowed to be angry and violent? Patel goes on to say,
00:03:37.420
I think if this is what it takes to reach a critical point where opposition is taken seriously by people
00:03:44.300
who are bigoted, then this is what we have to do. So in other words, if you oppose the woke mob
00:03:51.580
tearing down statues or erasing our history, it's because you're a bigot and that only further justifies
00:03:57.500
the woke mob tearing down statues and erasing our history. It must be nice to be a poet laureate.
00:04:05.020
Why does the city of Edmonton even have to have a government poet?
00:04:09.100
Look, Patel is just one of many public figures today who seem to just hate Canada. They hate it so
00:04:15.500
much they want to destroy every institution in our country. In the aftermath of the alleged terror
00:04:20.940
attack in London, Ontario, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh told us what he really thinks of Canada.
00:04:26.300
The reality is our Canada is a place of racism, of violence, of genocide of indigenous people.
00:04:33.980
And our Canada is a place where Muslims aren't safe. They aren't. They aren't safe. Muslims are not safe in
00:04:40.300
this country. Muslims are not safe in this country. You know, that would be news to my husband's family,
00:04:46.620
who escaped real tyranny in Iran, and they found a peaceful, welcoming community and home filled with
00:04:52.700
opportunity and freedom in North Toronto. I guess they didn't get the message from the NDP and Jagmeet
00:04:58.140
Singh that one politicized tragedy in London, Ontario means that Canada's one million Muslims are no
00:05:05.260
longer safe in the world's most diverse, tolerant and open society. A 27-year-old MP in Singh's caucus
00:05:14.140
echoed her hatred for Canada in her farewell speech in the House of Commons last Tuesday.
00:05:19.980
Momilek Kakak, NDP member for NDP, blasted Canada as a colonialist hellhole built on the oppression
00:05:26.860
of indigenous people and whose history is stained with blood. Every time I walk onto House of Common
00:05:33.420
grounds, speak in these chambers, I'm reminded every step of the way I don't belong here.
00:05:39.420
I have never felt safe or protected in my position, especially within the House of Commons.
00:05:47.180
When I walk through these doors, not only am I reminded of the clear colonial house on fire I
00:05:53.020
am willingly walking into, I am already in survival mode. Since being elected, I expect to be stopped by
00:06:01.100
security at my workplace. I've had security jog after me down hallways, nearly put their hands on me,
00:06:08.540
and racial profile me as a member of parliament. People like me don't belong here in the federal
00:06:15.500
institution. I'm a human being who wants to use this institution to help people, but the reality is
00:06:22.460
that this institution and the country has been created off the backs, trauma and displacement of
00:06:30.540
indigenous people. There is nothing, nothing to take pride in, in the legacy this institution continues
00:06:40.300
to not only maintain but to build and fuel. Her angry rant, which was filled with baseless accusations
00:06:48.460
and fanatical hyperbole, was applauded and promoted by the legacy media. I've yet to see a single public
00:06:55.100
figure in this country counter her radical claims or refute her fever dream excoriation of this
00:07:01.500
country. And as for her weird claim that security stopped her from entering parliament, maybe that
00:07:06.460
has more to do with the way that she presents herself and not because of her race or her skin color.
00:07:11.340
Look, when I was her age, 27, I worked as a political staffer on Parliament Hill. And let me tell you,
00:07:17.020
I too was stopped and asked to show ID every single time I entered the building. Sure, I wasn't an MP,
00:07:23.020
but I worked there. I was there every day. And I never, ever once thought it had anything to do
00:07:28.140
with my skin color. I just assumed it had everything to do with security. But the media
00:07:34.380
and her political opponents across the aisle let her have a pass. No one asked her about this. No one
00:07:38.940
pushed back. I mean, she was only taking a shot at security guards. And in the woke's ladder of
00:07:44.620
oppression, security guards rank just slightly above police officers. So obviously they deserve all the
00:07:50.700
criticism in the world, according to the left. Instead of pushing back, media and political
00:07:56.220
leaders now allow the radical woke left to use Canada as a punching bag. The latest news today
00:08:02.380
is that the to come loops chief has called on all Canadians to cancel Canada Day and instead use the
00:08:08.940
day as a quote, learning opportunity, unquote. So instead of trying to keep things in perspective,
00:08:14.860
realizing that Canada is a great, albeit imperfect country that is always learning from past mistakes and
00:08:20.140
constantly striving to do better, we ought to just cancel Canada altogether. Defending Canada is
00:08:25.980
just now so passe. It's much more fashionable to condemn Canada as a uniquely terrible systemically
00:08:32.780
compromised fail state built on irredeemably horrendous leaders who committed unspeakable
00:08:38.540
atrocities and crimes against humanity. If that's your worldview, and it seems like that is the
00:08:44.940
legitimate worldview held by today's cultural elites. Well, then it's no wonder that they want
00:08:50.540
Churchill's head on a platter. Sure, he beat Hitler, he defeated the Nazis, he stamped out fascism across
00:08:57.260
Europe and potentially save the West from that fate. Yeah, he did all that. But you know, Canada and
00:09:03.180
probably all of Western civilization is just as bad as the Nazis. So why should we celebrate him anyway?
00:09:09.020
That's the worldview of the left, and nobody is standing up to it. I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is the Candace Malcolm Show.
