00:00:00.000 And just like that, the fake political emergency is over.
00:00:03.220 Dustin Trudeau says the country is now safe, but will he ever recover?
00:00:06.580 I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:12.700 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:14.860 So I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief because on Wednesday afternoon,
00:00:19.200 Justin Trudeau came out and lo and behold, he said that there's no longer an emergency.
00:00:23.300 This political emergency is over.
00:00:25.140 So they have withdrawn and revoked the Emergency Act after voting on it just two days earlier,
00:00:32.020 not even two full days, about 36 or 40 hours after it was voted on and passed in the House of Commons.
00:00:37.740 It is now revoked.
00:00:38.800 So Justin Trudeau came out Wednesday afternoon at 4.15 and said that after careful consideration,
00:00:43.900 we are able to confirm the situation is no longer an emergency.
00:00:47.260 Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergency Act.
00:00:50.360 Here is what that looked like.
00:00:51.640 And today, after careful consideration, we're ready to confirm that the situation is no longer an emergency.
00:01:00.700 Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergencies Act.
00:01:06.580 Well, isn't that just incredible?
00:01:08.640 So you might be asking yourself, what exactly changed between Monday evening when the House of Commons voted?
00:01:15.140 Recall that the entire liberal caucus, the entire NDP caucus voted in favor of this.
00:01:20.600 The liberal government whipped their MPs.
00:01:22.780 It was a confidence vote, meaning if they didn't get the votes that they needed, we would get triggered into an election.
00:01:27.520 So it was so important that they all voted in favor of this act that there was some kind of pressing emergency,
00:01:32.720 some kind of threat to our sovereignty, to our supply chains, our economy, the border integrity.
00:01:37.200 The entire country was at risk.
00:01:39.580 On Monday evening, we needed to pass this Emergencies Act, even though the protests had already been cleared,
00:01:44.760 even though the police had already marched through Ottawa and removed all the trucks, all the protesters.
00:01:49.660 No borders were currently blocked.
00:01:51.660 Nothing was going on on Monday night that warranted this.
00:01:54.840 Somehow, less than two days later, with no change, no new intel, no police actions, nothing changed, and the Emergency Act is lifted.
00:02:03.440 Of course, all of this just goes to suggest that there was no emergency in the first place.
00:02:07.260 This was all political.
00:02:08.360 It was entirely politically motivated.
00:02:10.240 Justin Trudeau found himself in a bad situation that he himself created.
00:02:14.000 He ignored a working-class uprising.
00:02:16.760 By the time they showed up in Ottawa, he called them every name in the book, refused to engage, refused to meet with them,
00:02:22.360 made the situation worse, angered his own base for neglecting to deal with the situation.
00:02:27.220 It made him look incredibly weak, incredibly standoffish.
00:02:30.060 No one even knows where he went.
00:02:30.980 And he went and disappeared to an undisclosed location.
00:02:34.000 No one knew where he was.
00:02:35.300 He showed no leadership whatsoever.
00:02:37.360 Remember that poll that was done by David Coletto over at Abacus?
00:02:40.700 They found that of all the levels of government, both sides blamed Justin Trudeau the most.
00:02:45.300 When it came to the people who support the convoy, all the various people to blame,
00:02:50.200 whether it was the police, the local Ottawa City Council, the mayor, the Ontario government, or the feds,
00:02:57.320 most people blame the feds.
00:02:58.640 On the other side, people who opposed the convoy, same exact breakdown.
00:03:02.500 Most people blamed Trudeau.
00:03:04.100 So Trudeau was to blame on both sides.
00:03:06.380 He thought that using this emergency act to just finally clear out the protest would be good enough.
00:03:11.240 Of course, by the time they voted on it, the protest was already cleared.
00:03:14.100 None of this made any sense.
00:03:15.900 Regardless, the emergency act is now gone.
00:03:17.740 So I guess the emergency is over.
00:03:18.860 We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
00:03:20.580 Oh, wait a minute.
00:03:21.220 The government also announced that they are going to continue with the completely egregious practice of stealing people's bank accounts,
00:03:28.680 freezing their bank accounts, making them unbanked, basically removing them from the modern economy.
00:03:33.700 So Chrystia Freeland speaking on Wednesday, she said this about bank accounts.
00:03:37.020 She said, concerning bank accounts, the process of unfreezing these bank accounts has already begun.
00:03:40.960 As the RCMP notes, I'd just like to stress that there are bank accounts that will remain frozen, not because of the emergency orders.
00:03:48.760 There will be other orders, court orders and others.
00:03:52.060 And because of these orders, the bank accounts may still be frozen.
00:03:56.380 So even though they've removed this draconian piece of legislation that allowed them to do all kinds of abuses
00:04:02.140 and have all kinds of unprecedented power, the ability to freeze people's money,
00:04:07.480 the probably the most terrifying aspect of this entire ordeal,
00:04:10.940 they're just going to hold on to that for a little while longer.
00:04:13.720 Well, the Trudeau government admitted that a $20 donation,
00:04:16.920 a donation as little as $20 to the Freedom Convoy may be enough to freeze your bank account.
00:04:22.260 This is True North's Cosmo Georgia reporting.
00:04:24.640 He writes this.
00:04:25.280 Banks across Canada have frozen Canadians' accounts to the tune of nearly $8 million
00:04:29.480 after the Trudeau government ordered a crackdown on the Freedom Convoy's financial support.
00:04:33.720 According to Blacklock's reporter, a Department of Finance said during a Commons Finance Committee meeting
00:04:38.200 that even a $20 donation could lead to consequences.
00:04:42.620 This is a quote from the assistant deputy finance minister.
00:04:45.420 She said,
00:04:45.840 It would be unlikely that someone who gave $20 three weeks ago or even $20 post-February 15th
00:04:51.940 would be captured by a freeze, but it's not impossible.
00:04:55.080 So they're going to try their best not to freeze your bank account if you donated to the Freedom Convoy.
00:04:59.480 But it's not impossible.
00:05:00.760 In other words, it's possible.
00:05:01.900 What a mess.
00:05:02.640 What a total sloppy mess.
00:05:03.980 This is a Globe and Mail reporting.
00:05:05.620 They say that government officials said earlier this week that about 206 bank accounts
00:05:10.240 holding a total of $7.8 million were frozen using the emergency measures,
00:05:14.180 most of which were identified as having ties to organizers of the protest
00:05:18.660 or owners of vehicles used to block roads.
00:05:21.920 Key word there, having ties to the protest and the owners of the vehicle.
00:05:25.700 So not even necessarily the individuals who were at the protest
00:05:29.120 or the individuals who owned trucks that were at the protest,
00:05:31.620 just people who had ties to them.
00:05:33.520 That sort of vague language should really send a chill down your spine.
00:05:37.860 They've taken 206 bank accounts.
00:05:39.600 I should note that is more bank accounts than the U.S. federal government seized after 9-11.
00:05:45.840 After 9-11, when they were trying to crack down on the terrorists that funded the hijacking of airplanes
00:05:50.800 that flew into buildings and killed nearly 3,000 people, including Canadians,
00:05:55.320 they seized fewer than 150 bank accounts.
00:05:57.980 When a group of truckers roll into Canada, Canada seizes more bank accounts than the U.S. government after 9-11.
00:06:03.420 Absolutely unbelievable.
00:06:04.800 I'll continue to read from this Globe and Mail report.
00:06:07.180 It says,
00:06:08.100 Canada's banks have since unfrozen most accounts belonging to customers who were linked to illegal blockades,
00:06:13.220 according to the Canadian Bankers Association.
00:06:15.680 Dozens of people tied to the protests had access to financial services cut off last week under emergency powers
00:06:21.740 and acted to pressure protesters to leave downtown Ottawa.
00:06:24.900 Gotta love how the legacy media just slips in the government talking points here.
00:06:28.720 They were linked to illegal blockades.
00:06:30.900 Okay, I'll just note.
00:06:32.120 Yes, there were some illegal blockades that happened during the protests.
00:06:35.600 The blocking of the Ambassador Bridge, that was an illegal blockade.
00:06:38.900 There were other blockades at international border crossings,
00:06:41.300 at Canada-U.S. border crossings that were indeed illegal.
00:06:43.720 But calling the Ottawa protests an illegal blockade is government propaganda.
00:06:48.160 That is not what happened.
00:06:49.360 It was a protest similar to every other protest that we see in Ottawa.
00:06:53.600 A whole bunch of people going up on the lawn and part of Parliament,
00:06:56.660 blocking up Wellington Street, people parking their cars there, people walking on the street.
00:07:00.860 That is not illegal in Canada.
00:07:02.440 That is not an illegal blockade.
00:07:03.900 That is a legal, peaceful protest.
00:07:06.440 And every time the legacy media comes out and says that it was an illegal blockade
00:07:10.100 and describe the Ottawa protests that way, the more that people don't trust legacy media
00:07:14.700 because that is propaganda.
00:07:15.740 They are shilling for Trudeau.
00:07:17.260 They are using his language to try to confuse you, to try to make you on the side of Trudeau
00:07:21.780 and to tell you that there was something nefarious, something illegal about what the peaceful
00:07:26.500 truckers were doing.
00:07:27.320 That is wrong.
00:07:27.920 And I'm going to call it out every single time because it is maddening to see the use
00:07:31.120 of propaganda in the legacy media promoting Justin Trudeau and promoting his language.
00:07:35.920 He used to justify this whole thing.
00:07:37.020 We know this whole thing had no justification.
00:07:39.280 We know that now because he revoked it 36 hours after he implemented it, even though
00:07:43.840 nothing changed in those 36 hours.
00:07:46.240 So after this thing was passed in the House of Commons on Monday night, it went to the Senate.
00:07:49.700 The Senate was right in the middle of debating it when Justin Trudeau came out and revoked
00:07:53.420 it, making the Senate debate sort of a moot point.
00:07:55.680 However, I want to cover a little bit of what happened in the Senate because there were some
00:07:58.500 very good, very articulate points raised by conservative senators who articulated it perfectly
00:08:03.060 better than I can.
00:08:03.840 So I'm going to play you this clip from Senator Don Platt.
00:08:06.080 He is the leader of the opposition in the Senate, explaining perfectly well why Justin
00:08:10.860 Trudeau was completely wrong to enact this emergency act.
00:08:13.960 Here's that clip.
00:08:14.540 We're now being asked to vote on a government motion.
00:08:19.340 I agree with most of the legal and constitutional experts, most of the provinces, and most of
00:08:26.480 the observers in Canada and in the rest of the world.
00:08:29.440 This government, the Trudeau government, failed to make its case for the use of the Emergencies
00:08:37.060 Act.
00:08:38.440 Furthermore, the measures it adopted are not reasonable, not proportionate, and not necessary.
00:08:46.500 And finally, even if the declaration of emergency was warranted and the measures satisfied, the
00:08:53.320 criteria I just mentioned, the emergency no longer exists.
00:08:59.880 This is why, together with other reasons, I will explain why I will be voting against
00:09:05.560 Senator Gold's motion.
00:09:07.040 Not reasonable, not proportionate, and not necessary.
00:09:09.700 That is absolutely correct.
00:09:10.740 And that is exactly right.
00:09:11.940 Justin Trudeau should have never used this act in the first place.
00:09:15.100 Denise Batters, who is now also with the Conservatives, recall that Erin O'Toole kicked her out of the
00:09:18.480 Conservative Caucus.
00:09:19.340 Well, now that Erin O'Toole is gone, she is back with the Conservative Caucus.
00:09:22.700 And she also made a very, very passionate speech, reminding everybody that they were sitting
00:09:28.020 in the chamber, in the Senate chamber, the exact place where the Charter of Rights and
00:09:32.260 Freedoms was negotiated.
00:09:33.600 That shouldn't be lost on anybody.
00:09:35.500 Here is Denise Batters making an excellent point in the Senate. 1.00
00:09:38.320 It has not been lost on me, nor should it be on any of you, that this building, now the
00:09:43.420 Senate of Canada building, where I deliver this speech today, is the very building where
00:09:47.180 our Charter of Rights and Freedoms was negotiated.
00:09:50.240 Think of that history, Honourable Senators, when you consider whether to allow this federal
00:09:54.300 government to trample all over that charter.
00:09:57.320 People on both sides of the political spectrum have expressed the view that the Trudeau government's
00:10:01.260 invocation of the Emergencies Act in this situation is considerable government overreach.
00:10:05.900 We need to assert ourselves, Honourable Senators, and reject this unprecedented authoritarian
00:10:10.880 overreach by this federal government.
00:10:12.980 Reject this unprecedented authoritarian overreach by the federal government.
00:10:18.740 Well, lucky for the Trudeau government, he has the unwavering support of the legacy
00:10:23.100 media.
00:10:23.540 So the legacy media were quick to jump in and let everyone know, nothing to see here.
00:10:27.940 Everything was handled perfectly well.
00:10:29.460 There was no abuse of power whatsoever.
00:10:31.080 This is all over now.
00:10:32.260 Let's just sweep it under the rug and move on with our lives.
00:10:35.120 So here is Andrew Coyne doing his best to try to justify what Justin Trudeau did, saying
00:10:39.000 that basically everything was exactly right.
00:10:41.540 So here is his timeline, very distorted, and I will explain why.
00:10:45.500 So Andrew Coyne says this, January 28th to February 14th, Ottawa paralyzed, police do
00:10:51.540 nothing.
00:10:52.700 February 14th, federal emergency declaration.
00:10:55.640 February 18th to 20th, police move in, blockades clear.
00:10:59.580 February 23rd, emergency declaration lifted.
00:11:02.820 In sum, emergency declaration restores order, is lifted soon after.
00:11:06.740 And then he mocks his critics, saying outrage.
00:11:08.500 Basically, Andrew Coyne just thinks that Justin Trudeau is hunky-dory.
00:11:12.120 He handled this all perfectly well.
00:11:14.040 Nothing to see here.
00:11:15.240 Nothing was wrong.
00:11:16.120 Well, there are a few problems with Andrew Coyne's timeline.
00:11:18.720 I created my own timeline because Andrew Coyne just didn't get the facts right here.
00:11:23.120 Okay.
00:11:23.440 So yes, a convoy rolled into town on January 28th.
00:11:26.540 It started a week earlier when they decided that they were going to do their slow roll from
00:11:30.220 Vancouver all the way.
00:11:32.020 New convoys were created all over the country.
00:11:33.880 Everyone started going to Ottawa, converging onto Ottawa to show their displeasure with
00:11:38.740 the Trudeau government, with the mean-spirited, heavy-handed vaccine mandates at a time when
00:11:43.360 the vaccine mandates have been proven to be not effective at all.
00:11:47.920 Look, everybody who's had Omicron has recovered.
00:11:50.520 They're ready to move on with their lives.
00:11:52.320 The vaccine mandate is unnecessary at this point.
00:11:55.380 Okay.
00:11:55.920 So the protest moves into town.
00:11:57.680 It was a noisy protest.
00:11:59.320 Correct.
00:11:59.740 But it was also a peaceful protest and a legal protest.
00:12:02.680 So saying that Ottawa was paralyzed is completely hyperbolic and untrue.
00:12:07.660 There was a small part of Ottawa that was disturbed by this.
00:12:10.840 It was a noisy protest.
00:12:12.000 The purpose of a protest is to be noisy, is to be disruptive, is to make people feel
00:12:16.440 uncomfortable.
00:12:16.980 In this case, make the elites who live in Ottawa, who make all the decisions, make them
00:12:20.980 feel uncomfortable to know how uncomfortable they're making people feel with their heavy-handed
00:12:25.820 orders.
00:12:26.740 Okay.
00:12:27.060 So we agree that there was a protest in Ottawa, January 28th.
00:12:31.380 I would say it was a noisy protest, and the police did their job.
00:12:34.020 The job of the police is to keep the peace, to keep things calm.
00:12:37.120 During that period of time, there was no violence.
00:12:39.900 There were no major arrests.
00:12:40.980 There was no property damage.
00:12:42.240 It was a very calm, albeit noisy, albeit disruptive protest.
00:12:47.060 So police do nothing isn't true.
00:12:48.880 It's not the police's job to solve a political problem.
00:12:51.200 It is not the police's job to make Trudeau's problems go away.
00:12:54.820 Trudeau could have met with the truckers.
00:12:56.120 Trudeau could have tried to hear the truckers.
00:12:58.320 Trudeau could have made a good-faith effort to try to negotiate in some way with the truckers 0.85
00:13:03.080 to say, okay, I understand your point.
00:13:04.820 Let's perhaps lift this mandate, or let's make more exemptions for people who don't
00:13:08.900 want to get vaccinated at this point.
00:13:10.880 Instead, what did he do?
00:13:11.740 He poured gasoline on the fire.
00:13:13.300 He called them racist.
00:13:14.180 He called them Nazis.
00:13:14.960 He said that he wanted nothing to do with it.
00:13:16.500 He demonized an entire class of working people in a very divisive way.
00:13:21.440 Most Canadians see it that way.
00:13:23.040 Okay.
00:13:23.200 Andrew Coyne missed this point, which was that on February 13th, the day before the
00:13:27.200 federal emergency was declared, the Ambassador Bridge was cleared.
00:13:31.680 So yes, there was an illegal blockade.
00:13:33.280 It happened on the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor to Detroit.
00:13:36.140 That was cleared over the weekend.
00:13:37.720 The Ambassador Bridge was cleared using the existing laws on the books.
00:13:41.120 So the next day, after the Ambassador Bridge had already been cleared, Justin Trudeau comes
00:13:44.620 in and declares an emergency, even though there was no current blockades at that time.
00:13:49.180 Regardless, the journalists cheered for their hero and said, hooray for Trudeau.
00:13:52.960 Let's get rid of this mess.
00:13:54.760 February 18th to 20th, Coyne says that police moved in and blockades were cleared.
00:13:59.320 I clarified that a little bit to show what really went on, which was that the police
00:14:02.760 crushed a peaceful protest.
00:14:04.980 Then on February 21st, after the protest was already gone, the Emergency Act was passed in
00:14:09.860 the House of Commons.
00:14:11.120 And two days later, even though nothing changed, the Emergency Act was lifted and journalists
00:14:16.000 are just pretending that there is nothing to see there.
00:14:19.520 Mark Gerritsen, a liberal MP, likewise made the same point, basically, that the
00:14:22.940 nothing was done wrong, nothing to see here.
00:14:25.360 Let's all just move on with our lives.
00:14:26.740 Everything was handled properly.
00:14:28.200 He writes this.
00:14:29.120 The Emergency Act exactly served its purpose.
00:14:31.720 It was one, targeted only where it was needed.
00:14:34.500 Two, proportionate to the threat.
00:14:36.500 Three, lasted only as long as needed.
00:14:38.540 And four, always maintained charter rights.
00:14:41.400 I mean, that whole, okay, well, that whole thing is wrong.
00:14:43.720 Targeted only where needed.
00:14:44.820 Where exactly was it needed?
00:14:46.220 Because by the time it was enacted and passed, the protest was already gone, okay?
00:14:51.500 Proportionate to the threat, they used undue force, excessive force, against unarmed, peaceful
00:14:56.380 protesters to clear them up because Trudeau simply didn't want them there.
00:14:59.360 It was a political problem, not a threat, not a national security threat, regardless of
00:15:03.680 how many times liberals repeat that.
00:15:05.360 Lasted only as long as needed.
00:15:06.780 Well, it wasn't needed at all.
00:15:08.220 Always maintained the charter rights.
00:15:09.700 I can't wait until the conservatives are in power and there is a big protest that rolls
00:15:14.080 into town or there is a big foreign-funded environmental movement or protest and all
00:15:18.960 of a sudden the conservatives start considering using some of these same tactics against the
00:15:23.500 left, against liberals.
00:15:24.600 I wonder how they'll feel about their charter rights when, if and when, a conservative government
00:15:28.900 ever seizes the bank accounts of political activists on the left.
00:15:32.300 I'm sure they will have a different tune.
00:15:33.940 Well, Candace Bergen, who's the interim leader of the Conservative Party, came out with a pretty
00:15:37.580 strong statement.
00:15:38.380 She wrote this, the Conservative Party knew it was wrong.
00:15:40.580 Canadians knew he was wrong.
00:15:42.080 The PM was wrong when he invoked it.
00:15:44.160 He was wrong when he voted to continue it at 8 p.m. on Monday.
00:15:47.680 He was wrong when he made it a confidence vote.
00:15:50.360 Nothing has changed between Monday and today other than a flood of concerns from Canadian 1.00
00:15:54.380 citizens, bad press, and international ridicule.
00:15:58.020 It's a really good point because you wonder, so what did change?
00:16:00.880 What was the main thing that changed between Monday night when they voted this thing in with
00:16:04.620 a confidence vote and Wednesday afternoon when they lifted it?
00:16:07.780 Well, what changed?
00:16:08.560 I'll tell you what changed.
00:16:09.820 Polling.
00:16:10.260 Public opinion polls came out, and again, it did not look good for Justin Trudeau.
00:16:14.760 So an Ipsos poll came out on Thursday reflecting what had been happening in the week prior,
00:16:19.340 and I'm sure PMO or Justin Trudeau's inner circle got their hands on this, or they had
00:16:22.880 their own internal polling that was saying the exact same thing.
00:16:25.840 But this global poll came out, and it's pretty devastating for Justin Trudeau.
00:16:30.080 It shows that Trudeau gets a failing grade from Canadians.
00:16:33.620 So I'm just going to read this piece because it's really interesting, not just to see the
00:16:37.380 facts of the poll, but also how global news and legacy media cover Justin Trudeau and cover
00:16:43.120 this convoy.
00:16:44.520 So here's global news.
00:16:45.900 It says, Trudeau's convoy response gets a failing grade, but even fewer support protesters'
00:16:51.040 poll.
00:16:51.300 So they even have to put it in.
00:16:52.480 Even though Justin Trudeau is the leader of the country, it is his responsibility to keep
00:16:56.300 peace, keep order, and keep the country united.
00:16:58.540 Instead of just focusing on how he gets a failing grade, they had to add in, oh, but
00:17:03.200 don't worry, he's still more popular than those working class truckers, as if that helps. 1.00
00:17:07.620 But they just had to throw that in there.
00:17:09.320 Okay, so I'll read from the story.
00:17:10.940 It says, as the so-called freedom convoy comes to an end in Ottawa, they even put freedom
00:17:15.660 convoy in scare quotes there.
00:17:17.460 It says, Canadians remain divided on how they feel about the protests.
00:17:20.680 According to a new Ipsos poll published Thursday, Canadians' approval of Justin Trudeau's
00:17:24.640 handling of the convoy blockade was only seven points higher than that of the protesters.
00:17:28.480 The poll conducted exclusively for Global News showed that 43% of Canadians approved of
00:17:34.260 the way Trudeau handled the three-week-long protests, while 36% supported the truckers.
00:17:39.800 So the way that they're even painting this and showing this is like kind of trying to
00:17:43.680 pit Justin Trudeau versus the truckers.
00:17:46.720 And in our parliamentary system, 43% approval rating isn't that bad.
00:17:51.120 What they bury a little further down is that a staggering 52% of people said that Justin
00:17:57.460 Trudeau's rhetoric and the way that he approached the situation made things worse and that he
00:18:01.900 was mostly responsible for what happened.
00:18:03.740 So rather than putting that side by side, 43% approved, 53% that he was to fault, they
00:18:09.240 bury the 53% later on and they pit him against a lower support level for the truckers.
00:18:16.300 It continues to go on.
00:18:17.240 It says, in Ontario, where most of the protests actively was focused, 49% approved of Doug Ford's
00:18:22.920 handling.
00:18:23.340 So Ford had a higher approval rating than Trudeau, even though they essentially took the same
00:18:27.100 position.
00:18:27.540 The only difference was that Justin Trudeau was far more divisive in his language.
00:18:31.120 And I want to read you this paragraph because it really just shows you the mindset of the
00:18:35.700 people who write the news and the people who conduct these polls.
00:18:38.720 They're always on the side of the liberals.
00:18:40.400 They're always cheering for the liberals.
00:18:41.580 They're always cheering for Trudeau.
00:18:42.640 And let me explain what I mean.
00:18:43.720 This is a quote.
00:18:44.260 It says, what's particularly worrying is that 52% of the people that we interviewed said
00:18:50.040 that the prime minister's divisive rhetoric and the way that he approached the protest
00:18:54.200 was mostly responsible for what happened, Daryl Bricker, CEO of Ipsis Public Affairs, told
00:18:59.220 Trudeau.
00:18:59.740 So wait a minute.
00:19:00.680 What's particularly worrying is that 52% of Canadians oppose Trudeau.
00:19:04.960 Why would that be particularly worrying for anyone other than Justin Trudeau himself and
00:19:09.240 other than the PMO and Trudeau's inner circle?
00:19:11.520 Why would the head of a polling company say that it's particularly worrying that Canadians
00:19:17.340 oppose Trudeau?
00:19:18.700 I mean, just the mindset of the way that they write the news and they put this stuff together
00:19:23.220 is just really, really telling.
00:19:25.460 So I'll continue reading.
00:19:26.340 It says this.
00:19:27.140 Bricker said that the issue here is that even though authorities may not like it, data is
00:19:31.360 showing that protesters have gained a certain amount of sympathy among the Canadian population.
00:19:36.440 The poll also states a deep generational divide is evident with a majority of those
00:19:41.500 18 to 34, 58%, and 35 to 54, 53%, sympathizing with the protesters compared to only 32% of
00:19:51.420 them aged over 55.
00:19:52.640 That is really bad news for Justin Trudeau.
00:19:54.580 The fact that 18 to 34-year-olds, nearly 60%, nearly two-thirds of people in that younger
00:20:00.040 age group sympathized with the convoy, not good news at all for Justin Trudeau.
00:20:05.980 One other bit of news I want to cover here, which is I mentioned this on the show the other
00:20:09.780 day that Tamara Litch, one of the organizers and the one that started the GoFundMe campaign,
00:20:14.460 a Métis woman, she was arrested during the police action over the weekend.
00:20:18.400 And I mentioned that she was denied bail.
00:20:20.700 What I didn't mention at the time, because it wasn't out yet, was that the person who
00:20:24.300 was presiding over the case, the judge presiding over the case that denied Tamara Litch bail was
00:20:29.320 a former Liberal Party candidate.
00:20:32.040 She ran for Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party in the 2011 election.
00:20:37.720 She lost, and then Trudeau appointed her to the federal bench. 0.60
00:20:41.160 She is now the one overseeing this.
00:20:42.980 This is an insane conflict of interest.
00:20:45.760 The fact that this judge hasn't recused herself from this case is insane, because the appearance
00:20:50.740 of political interference, political bias, of undermining, again, of our judicial system
00:20:55.800 and the rule of law is really, really, really, really bad.
00:20:58.740 So this judge also made 71 donations to the Liberal Party between 2009 and 2014, raging
00:21:05.200 amounts from $5 to $1,186.
00:21:09.200 And here is Justin Trudeau back in 2013, promoting her in a video saying that she has vision and
00:21:15.600 she's authentic.
00:21:16.480 Here he is endorsing a judge who is now denying bail to one of these organizers.
00:21:22.080 This is unbelievable.
00:21:23.000 Here is what that looked like.
00:21:24.100 So this judge, Judge Bourgeois, she now says,
00:21:51.840 I cannot be assured that if I release you into the community, you will not re-offend.
00:21:56.940 So she is held without the possibility of bail because supposedly she's a threat to public 1.00
00:22:03.320 safety.
00:22:03.720 Well, wait a minute.
00:22:04.200 The Emergency Act is over now.
00:22:05.940 So the threat is over, according to Justin Trudeau.
00:22:08.220 They no longer need the Emergency Act.
00:22:10.160 And yet a Métis woman who organized a GoFundMe campaign can't be released because she's a threat.
00:22:15.460 This is wild.
00:22:16.260 Again, this is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
00:22:18.100 Keep in mind that the deranged left-wing activist, the Antifa activist who rammed his car into
00:22:23.860 the protest, who hit four protesters with his car, that guy, yeah, that guy was released
00:22:28.480 on bail.
00:22:28.920 No problem.
00:22:29.440 He's facing 11 serious charges.
00:22:31.760 He assaulted people, injured people, tried to murder people.
00:22:34.460 And all he had to do was post $10,000 bail.
00:22:37.480 He's allowed out.
00:22:38.260 No big deal.
00:22:39.140 But when it comes to the organizer of an event who committed no violence, who committed
00:22:42.980 no assault, who has been peaceful throughout, apparently she is a threat to public and can't 1.00
00:22:49.440 be released.
00:22:50.160 Look, Justin Trudeau's abuses of power continue, even though the Emergency Act is over.
00:22:54.200 He's declared it over.
00:22:55.040 He's admitted that it was all a political facade.
00:22:58.040 Well, his abuses of power continue.
00:22:59.800 And Canadians are continuing to take note.
00:23:02.100 Most have concluded that despite the media cheerleading, despite the spin and the propaganda
00:23:06.080 being fed to you by the legacy media, that Justin Trudeau is the big loser of these blockades.
00:23:11.800 He ignored the legitimate concerns of the working class.
00:23:14.340 He demonized the truckers.
00:23:15.720 He called them every name in the book.
00:23:16.840 And he poured gasoline on the fire.
00:23:19.140 Rather than being a leader and dealing with it, he then hid.
00:23:21.820 He hid out in an undisclosed location for weeks, waiting for someone else to solve his
00:23:26.740 problem.
00:23:27.480 Well, when all else failed, he staged an unprecedented power grab to squash a peaceful protest.
00:23:33.480 People saw and people will remember that no amount of media spin will make that go away.
00:23:38.880 Trudeau gambled and he lost.
00:23:40.500 I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
