It looks like we have finally reached the moment that we have been waiting for for the last four years. News is breaking that Mark Carney, the Prime Minister elect, the PM that was selected by Liberal insiders, is expected to call a general election this Sunday, meaning that we will go to the polls sometime in late April or early May.
00:01:29.000And wow, we have some big news for you on the show today.
00:01:33.340It looks like we have finally reached the moment that we have been waiting for for the last four years.
00:01:38.300News is breaking that Mark Carney, the prime minister elect, the prime minister that was selected by Liberal Insiders, is expected to call a general election this Sunday, meaning that we will go to the polls.
00:01:49.880Canadians will go and vote sometime in either late April or early May, depending on how long he sets the election.
00:01:57.820We have been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally get a democratic mandate in this country.
00:02:03.020We need to decide for ourselves what our future will look like and who will lead our country.
00:02:08.000This is, like I've said on the show many times, I think this is the most important election of my lifetime, certainly of this decade or longer.
00:02:16.720Do Canadians want to continue down the path of Liberal governance or are we ready for a change?
00:02:21.500Are we ready to bring something different for ourselves and for our future?
00:02:25.380It is a very important time in Canadian politics.
00:02:27.960Part of the reason we launched Juno News is so that we could cut through the spin of the legacy media.
00:02:32.860We could report fact-based news and hard-hitting opinion.
00:02:36.100So I'm going to encourage everyone to head on over to Juno News and subscribe $10 a month or $100 a year.
00:02:42.000You get access to all of our library, all of our catalogue of news and podcasts.
00:03:30.500We're going to talk about the Canadian economy under this Liberal government.
00:03:34.080And we're going to spend the rest of the show talking about crime, the crime surge that is happening in Canada.
00:03:39.100And I'm joined today by someone who has done painstaking efforts to highlight this crime, to document it, and to get the story out to Canadians.
00:05:17.340So interesting because for so long we have been urging the NDP to break up the deal.
00:05:26.280They've been propping up the Liberals for the last four years and we've been calling on NDP leader Jagmeet Singh to do the right thing and allow Canadians to have a vote.
00:05:33.120Interesting that Mark Carney has sort of bypassed the NDP, had no interest in forming any kind of an alliance with him and he's going to go trigger the election himself, which obviously means he's confident under him.
00:05:44.060He obviously knows that right now is perhaps his best opportunity.
00:05:49.060The Canadians don't know him very well.
00:05:50.500They might be willing to give him a chance.
00:05:53.600He hasn't really been properly vetted by the legacy media.
00:05:56.120They seem to have no interest in asking him tough questions or digging into his past or trying to find out what he believes about certain things about the world.
00:06:03.400And so on his own terms, he's calling the election.
00:06:06.660What do you what do you make of all this?
00:06:08.580Well, number one, I'm really happy that we're finally at this stage where there's an election going to be called.
00:06:12.380I think the latest survey was 72 percent of Canadians wanted an election.
00:06:18.860Democracy is going to be able to run its course.
00:06:20.920Look, I think what has happened with the cabinet of Trudeau, right?
00:06:23.720How many people resigned, at least in my riding in Oakville East, for example, Anita and Ant resigned when the polling looked bad.
00:06:29.540Then literally two weeks later, I think it was two or three weeks later, she came back and said, no, I had a change of mind when the polls changed.
00:06:36.120So, you know, the polling and I'm glad to hear that you are also doing independent polling.
00:06:39.940I think the change in the polling, what's happened, obviously, what's going on with the tariff wars with Trump, the people losing the NDP, losing their vote over to the Liberal Party.
00:06:50.740They see it as a time to go ahead and capitalize on that momentum that they have.
00:06:54.300But again, I think what's really going on, again, is like that shift of the numbers is really a collapse of the NDP.
00:07:00.460But I still think like in the people that I speak to every day and again, I reach for Canadians from coast to coast like you, you know, they're still stuck on like understanding.
00:07:08.340Look, what's happened over the last nine years?
00:07:56.740I still have faith that the Canadian electorate will make the right decision.
00:08:00.140But the election itself is going to be so important, like what questions are asked, how they treat the candidates, how, you know, Pia Palliev and the conservatives get their own message out, what kind of questions are put to Mark Carney.
00:08:11.600One of the interesting things I've noticed that also news breaking right now is a former journalist, Evan Solomon, has announced or is expected to announce that he will be running for the liberals.
00:08:21.620So he will be running with a liberal MP.
00:08:23.800And this is sort of a source of frustration for me, Sondran, because so many of these journalists who operate in Ottawa, part of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, it's a clique of insiders over there.
00:09:10.480That's why the Candace Malcolm Show exists.
00:09:12.580That's why Juno News and True North before that.
00:09:15.140That's why we built these organizations to try to break through the spin.
00:09:18.460Because I think the Canadians deserve to – they deserve that the politicians on the political left and people in the Liberal Party get the same level of scrutiny and tough questions as the Conservatives.
00:09:31.380And as people, like in every day, your jobs, like everyone's accountable to your boss, to, you know, you work at a public company, you're accountable to hitting your numbers, to being accountable on the delivery that you're going to have.
00:09:42.220We need to hold our leaders accountable.
00:09:44.340And I'm glad you mentioned that part about CBC News.
00:09:46.320And look, I wanted to also not believe that this was the case, that the news agencies were there to be behind Canadians to inform us.
00:09:53.380And, you know, the story when they came to me and interviewed me about what's going on with the crime, and I know we're going to talk about that later, and then they canned the interview, really, really just distraught me in a lot of different ways, Candace.
00:10:04.500Like, it really made me think that we have a serious, real issue here in Canada where the truth and the facts can't be held to account and people can't be held accountable.
00:10:14.300And that's why we've gone into this situation that we are in today.
00:10:17.260You know, I'm really happy that this election is coming.
00:10:19.980And the one question I think really summarizes how most Canadians should think about it is, ask yourself what has improved over the last 10 years.
00:10:48.180Or, like, oh, you know, as a country, we celebrate Pride Month now.
00:10:53.400And we, well, I mean, it wasn't that long ago that we lowered our flags to half-staff and the whole country was told that we're settlers and we committed genocide and that we should be ashamed of being Canadian.
00:11:04.040We removed Sir John and MacDonald's statues and removed his names from schools and freeways.
00:11:08.440And then all of a sudden, on a dime two months ago, we were all told to be Canadian patriots and nationalists again.
00:11:14.100And all of a sudden, everyone had the flag back.
00:11:17.220And, I mean, to me, it's all just tools of propaganda.
00:11:19.580It's interesting that the CBC canceled your interview.
00:25:46.780Because the profit that they get from each one of the vehicles that they sell, that they go steal, they'll typically get between $15,000 to $20,000, depending on the vehicle, right?
00:28:26.560And these families want to share it, even though it's going to be shared a million times and they're going to repeat the damage for themselves mentally.
00:28:33.300They do it because they don't want anybody else to ever go through this.
00:28:38.540So that's why a lot of them share the videos with me so that we can make change happen in this country for the security of your family and children is the most important thing for all of us.
00:28:56.780We have to treat criminals like criminals.
00:28:58.380We have to fix a bunch of the nuances around our immigration system, our economy from even that small percentage of people to make that decision to do something like this.
00:29:29.160Security footage shows three masked suspects approaching the home near Humber West Parkway and Airport Road shortly before 11.30 p.m. on March 6th.
00:29:39.880One of the suspects is then seen violently smashing the front door with a hammer, forcing their way inside.
00:29:49.000The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, tells City News he was asleep until the screams of his four-year-old daughter abruptly woke him up.
00:30:05.200Like, if the police find these people, why aren't they in jail?
00:30:08.740Because, so, yeah, there's no punishment.
00:30:11.000So Bill C-75, essentially what it's guiding the justice system to do is to release these offenders back out onto the streets.
00:30:20.240One of the reasons when I speak to some people from the liberal camp saying that we don't have enough jails or jails are overcapacity 130%, I don't think that's an excuse.
00:30:29.160If our jails are overcapacity, we need to go find a solution to that.
00:30:32.840We cannot be releasing these violent criminals back on the street.
00:30:36.040We are spending money on a whole bunch of different things, Candace.
00:30:38.760We can spend money to either get jails or to figure out a plan with other countries on how to put these criminals behind bars because we can't have this.
00:30:56.420It just happened in my neighborhood literally yesterday.
00:30:59.960I mean, I'm sorry to say this, but if you are in Canada as an immigrant, you are a temporary, you have a temporary visa or even a permanent residency, and you commit a heinous crime like this, like, you need to be deported.
00:31:11.220I don't even think that should be a controversial statement.
00:31:35.400So, I mean, honestly, amazing that you get this footage and you put it out there.
00:32:01.980I wish that every Canadian would, I mean, every Canadian should subscribe to your channels, should subscribe to your social media, should watch these videos, share them with people, and raise it with your elected official, with your MP, with your mayor, with your MP, whoever.
00:32:14.980We need to, like, Canadians need to take action and get serious about this.
00:32:18.060Like, this is so unacceptable, so un-Canadian.
00:32:20.220This is not the Canada that I grew up in.
00:32:24.780It really, like, the Canada, I think even a lot of immigrants that come here are Canada, I just think the Canada of you leave your door open in your neighborhood.
00:32:38.860In suburbs like Oakville that were considered the nice suburbs to live in for our family, this is not the case anymore.
00:32:45.700So we need change, and it's one of those things that it's a foundational thing.
00:32:49.020We need to get proper housing for our people.
00:32:51.300We need to make sure people feel safe in their homes.
00:32:53.760Those are two core foundations that we cannot let up on.
00:32:56.340Well, and the statistics really back it up.
00:32:58.960You were highlighting this Fraser Institute report that came out on Tuesday, which says that Toronto and Vancouver now have higher property crime, higher rates of property crime, than New York City or Los Angeles.
00:33:10.680So the Fraser Institute writes, rate of property crimes per person in Vancouver is 60% higher than Los Angeles.
00:33:18.080Kelowna has the highest property crime rate of any large urban area in the entire Pacific region.
00:33:25.060I'm sorry, like I think of cities like Portland and Seattle and Los Angeles as well and San Francisco, Oakland.
00:33:36.900You always think of Canada as being superior and safer and calmer and more relaxed.
00:33:42.580And yet the statistics, it's switched, it's flipped, that it's actually safer to live in Portland, Oregon or Oakland or San Francisco or Los Angeles than to live in Kelowna.
00:33:53.880I mean, oh my goodness, this is so unbelievable.
00:33:57.180I just, I can't even express how like upsetting it is as a Canadian to grow up thinking like, you know, you said we didn't lock our doors growing up.
