Justin Trudeau's new online harms bill is the biggest threat to freedom of speech in Canada. It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state, replete with snitch lines, kangaroo courts, and mass censorship. But rather than sounding the alarm bell, the legacy media in Canada is doing the Prime Minister s dirty work and smearing the opposition.

00:00:00.480 Justin Trudeau's new online harms bill is the biggest threat to freedom of speech in
00:00:05.440 this country. It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state replete with snitch lines,
00:00:11.760 kangaroo courts, and mass censorship. But rather than sounding the alarm bell,
00:00:16.560 the legacy media in Canada is doing the Prime Minister's dirty work and smearing the opposition.
00:00:21.760 It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:36.320 Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast today. Don't forget to like this video,
00:00:40.480 subscribe to our channel, leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the content, and don't
00:00:44.560 forget to head on over to our website, www.tnc.news, where you can sign up for our newsletter so you
00:00:50.160 never miss a story. Okay, so we covered this on the show on Tuesday, but earlier this week on Monday,
00:00:56.160 the Liberal government, led by Justice Minister Arif Varani, introduced their new censorship bill,
00:01:02.880 Bill C-63, which they call the Online Harms Act. It was tabled in the House of Commons.
00:01:09.600 I walked through the entire bill on my show on Tuesday, so I encourage you to go check that out
00:01:14.400 if you haven't already. Basically, the gist of this document, of this bill, is two things. It
00:01:22.080 really tries to do two things. One is the whole protecting children from what they call sexual
00:01:28.960 exploitation, porn, all that kind of thing, the predation of predators, protecting children,
00:01:35.120 but they also included this entire other component, which is cracking down on so-called hate speech,
00:01:41.200 harmful content, including introducing all kinds of new punishments and really dangerous territory,
00:01:50.640 things that you can get convicted of for simply writing your opinion online. If that opinion goes
00:01:56.480 against the ruling mob, you could find yourself in a great deal of trouble. According to the government's
00:02:02.400 own communication on this bill, they write that the Government of Canada is introducing legislation
00:02:08.320 to combat harmful content online, including the sexual exploitation of children. So again,
00:02:13.520 the emphasis is entirely on protecting children, and then they kind of just like sneak the other
00:02:18.640 components in, and that is the greatest concern because these other components are what we should
00:02:23.840 all be worried about. True North covered this. Our article writes that the Liberals Online hate bill
00:02:30.240 contains $70,000 fines for speech and potential life imprisonment, all for speech, all for speech,
00:02:37.680 all for speech, not for being convicted of any crime, but just for things that you write potentially
00:02:43.280 online. You could go to prison for life. The bill increases the maximum sentence for what they call advocating
00:02:49.760 genocide, which is incredibly loosely defined. They don't say what they mean by advocating genocide. They don't even say
00:02:55.120 what genocide means. But for the crime of advocating genocide, the punishment went from five years
00:03:02.240 up to life in prison. You could go to life, you go to prison for life for simply writing things online. So
00:03:10.000 as you would expect in a free society, a lot of people oppose this bill. All of the leading civil liberties
00:03:15.440 and civil rights organizations came out against it. So this is the left-wing Canadian Civil Liberties
00:03:21.280 Association. They put out a press release urging substantial amendments to the online harms bill.
00:03:27.360 They write that one troubling aspect of Bill C-63 is the vast authority bestowed upon a newly
00:03:34.000 established body comprising government appoint appointees to interpret the law, make up new rules,
00:03:40.320 enforce them, and then serve as judge, jury, and executioner. Granting such sweeping powers to one body
00:03:46.480 undermines the fundamental principle of democratic accountability. Furthermore,
00:03:50.720 the bill's provisions which include sweeping new search powers of electronic data with no warrant
00:03:56.400 requirement pose significant threats to privacy rights. The bill provides for unacceptable intrusions
00:04:02.480 into individuals' digital lives. So like I said, this is a surveillance state. We're talking about
00:04:10.000 government commissioners empowered by themselves operating on their own. I think this says it perfectly
00:04:15.600 when it says that this government body will act as judge, jury, and executioner. One of the things that
00:04:21.440 the Civil Liberties Association also mentioned was that Bill C-63 risks censoring a range of expression,
00:04:29.360 including journalistic reporting. So even the left-wing Civil Liberties Association is ringing the alarm
00:04:34.080 bell saying journalists should oppose this bill. Journalists should be worried because it will censor
00:04:39.440 journalistic reporting. Similarly, the more libertarian-associated or oriented Canadian
00:04:45.920 Constitution Fund also came out opposed to this bill. They wrote about their concerns. It says here,
00:04:52.400 the Canadian Constitution Foundation is deeply concerned by the Online Harms Act, introduced in
00:04:56.880 the House of Commons on February 26, will significantly hamper constitutionally protected expression.
00:05:03.120 And here is a quote from Executive Director Joanna Barron saying, the Justice Minister Verrani has tied
00:05:10.160 these speech restrictions to defensible measures like removing images of child sexual exploitation material
00:05:16.400 and revenge porn. But don't be fooled. Most of the bill is aimed at restricting freedom of expression.
00:05:22.400 This heavy-handed bill needs to be severely pared down to comply with the Constitution. So I think this is
00:05:29.360 a really important point, really interesting point. Don't be fooled. The whole point of this bill,
00:05:35.520 most of the bill, is about restricting freedom of expression. They lead with the idea about protecting
00:05:41.280 children, but that's really not what this is about. It's about so much more. And likewise, Michael Geist,
00:05:46.880 who is the former head of the CRTC, he is a law professor, and he wrote on his website,
00:05:54.800 why the Criminal Code and Human Rights Act provision should be removed from the Online Harms Act.
00:06:00.960 And yeah, he was the Canada Research Chair in internet and e-commerce law at the University
00:06:05.760 of Ottawa as well. And he breaks it down pretty clearly. He says that Bill C-63 is effectively
00:06:12.640 four bills in one. So first is the Online Harms Act. Second, it's the expansion of mandatory pornography
00:06:18.400 reporting. Third, it's the Criminal Code provisions, which opens up the door to life in prison for committing
00:06:23.520 offenses that are motivated by hatred. And fourth, it's changes to the Canadian Human Rights Act,
00:06:29.840 which restores the hated Section 13. And so basically what he says is that there's a huge
00:06:36.160 difference between the first two and the latter two. The first two are focused on the obligations
00:06:41.040 of internet platforms and addressing online harms. Well, the latter two have nothing to do with internet
00:06:45.680 platforms at all. So he's basically urging them to split this into two so that we can have a proper
00:06:49.920 debate on this. And that's what you would, that's what you would come to expect, right? You're going
00:06:54.720 to put out a piece of legislation. It's a huge, ominous bill, essentially covering four different
00:06:59.040 things. And rather than criticizing the bill, as these civil liberties organizations and as these law
00:07:06.240 professors have done, what do we see from the mainstream media? Well, that's a silly question,
00:07:10.800 because we know exactly how the legacy media is going to cover this. They did exactly what the Liberals
00:07:16.640 wanted. They did exactly what the Justice Minister did when he introduced the bill, which is that
00:07:21.200 they focus entirely on the keeping kids safe part, on the popular part, on the thing that almost every
00:07:26.320 Canadian can agree with. And they didn't really bother to address the second half. So this is how 0.55
00:07:31.440 Global News Toronto covered the news. This is how they introduced it to the Canadian public. Let's play that clip.
00:07:40.400 The federal government has tabled a long-awaited bill designed to protect children from online harm.
00:07:46.640 Bill C-63 promises to tackle child endangerment online and put a stop to the non-consensual sharing
00:07:53.360 of intimate images. Changes to the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act will also be made,
00:07:59.440 and it will be mandatory to report online child pornography. The bill also includes stiffer
00:08:05.120 punishments for hate propaganda and a pledge to hold social media platforms accountable for the material
00:08:10.880 they host. So again, you can just see by the way that this is covered, is it covered exactly the
00:08:15.760 way the Liberals want it to be covered? This is all about safety, all about protecting kids. It's all
00:08:20.080 about making the internet a safer place against predators, which again, is probably something that
00:08:25.040 we can all get behind. It's something that Canadians all generally agree with. Let's protect kids.
00:08:28.640 Let's keep them innocent. Let's not let them around creepy perverts. That's pretty basic stuff, 0.62
00:08:33.680 but the media isn't telling you the truth about this bill. They want you to think that it's just about
00:08:38.960 saving kids. The CBC Toronto, or the Global News Toronto thing is pretty innocuous. It's pretty just
00:08:44.640 basic, bad reporting. But then you get into like the really malicious stuff. So here is how the CBC
00:08:50.400 decided to cover the story. They found, they went into the archives, they reached out to Amanda Todd's
00:08:57.600 mother. Remember, Amanda Todd is the 15 year old girl that committed suicide back in 2012.
00:09:03.520 Back in 2012, she committed suicide. She posted a YouTube video explaining how she was being bullied
00:09:10.080 online, how she was the victim of sexual exploitation. And she ended up sadly, tragically,
00:09:16.960 killing herself. Again, this is 12 years ago now, right? So I know it was a huge story at the time,
00:09:23.120 and it led to a lot of sort of public awareness about how to engage online and the dangers of having
00:09:29.600 children acting sexually online. You know, the reason that Amanda Todd was so tormented
00:09:36.400 is because she would go onto her webcam and get basically get naked in front of the boys in her 1.00
00:09:42.640 grade. And then they use those images to bully her and kind of blackmail her. It was all very tragic,
00:09:48.480 very sad. But the CBC is bringing up this story, track down the mother of this girl, this poor mother
00:09:55.840 that had to live through that horrible tragedy of her daughter killing herself. And here they have
00:10:01.360 her coming up to defend us and Trudeau to explain why Trudeau is right to introduce this sweeping new
00:10:07.760 legislation. So we have that clip from CBC aired on February 27. Let's play that clip.
00:10:12.800 Joining me now for reaction to the bill is Carol Todd. Her daughter, Amanda Todd, was a victim of cyber
00:10:18.880 bullying and online sex extortion at just 15 years old. Carol joins us now from Coquitlam,
00:10:24.640 British Columbia. So Carol, thank you for joining us. How do you think this act could help teenagers
00:10:30.560 who are facing some of the same struggles that Amanda did? I think this this online harms act,
00:10:37.520 we can call it an online safety legislation, will put another layer of protection and safeguarding
00:10:45.360 on the in the online world where kids and youth and even adults are in daily and hourly. Right. And so
00:10:56.880 we need to have the social media platforms and all these things in place for for liability,
00:11:06.080 for privacy, for protecting our citizens. This is so manipulative. So they take this poor mother, 0.98
00:11:14.560 get her to explain how somehow this bill, which I'm guessing she probably hasn't read the bill,
00:11:19.680 this woman, but she says that this bill probably could have saved her daughter's life. So her daughter,
00:11:25.280 again, tragically died because she was engaging in antisocial sexual behavior online. And rather than
00:11:31.840 having a parent who was there to guide her child and say, no, no, no, don't take your clothes off for
00:11:37.280 strange men on the internet or for boys on the internet or for strangers on the internet.
00:11:40.880 Instead, she's saying, what we really need is more government legislation to create a censorship
00:11:47.040 regime. And somehow that would have saved my daughter's life. I mean, again, the whole thing
00:11:51.360 is so cynical that CBC would even reach out to this woman as if she's some kind of an expert on the
00:11:55.760 topic. Why? Because her daughter was involved in a sad, tragic story. This mother let her daughter down, 1.00
00:12:03.600 I'm sorry to say, but she let her daughter down. Again, one of the things that I don't think that
00:12:09.120 we talk about enough is how dangerous the internet can be for children. It's not good for kids.
00:12:14.960 Parents should take on more responsibility in stopping their kids from spending too much time
00:12:20.320 online, from engaging in antisocial behavior online, from doing things like what Amanda Todd did.
00:12:25.840 Parents should take a greater role in protecting their children. We shouldn't turn to the government
00:12:31.520 to demand vast layers of censorship and surveillance and all kinds of things to protect kids. Parents
00:12:39.760 should be the ones protecting kids. So I'm really opposed. I think it's disgusting that the CBC
00:12:44.480 interviewed that woman, played that clip. But again, that's sort of what we can expect from the CBC. And
00:12:49.360 again, just emphasizing the part that Justin Trudeau wanted to emphasize, the part that this is just
00:12:54.640 all about saving kids, saving kids like Amanda Todd. If this legislation was in place, Amanda Todd
00:13:00.000 wouldn't have killed herself, apparently. It's just really manipulative stuff from the legacy media.
00:13:07.120 And another thing that we saw the media doing, this is a story from the Canadian press. And you'll
00:13:12.000 recall that the Canadian press does receive funding from the Trudeau government. They get a multitude of
00:13:17.760 funds, including the Canada Periodical Fund and the local journalism initiative, which are grants from
00:13:23.040 the Trudeau government to pay for its funding. So the Canadian press wrote a story. The headline
00:13:29.760 that they gave it is that child safety and not censorship is the focus of the online harms bill,
00:13:35.760 according to Trudeau, right? So it says child safety, not censorship, the focus of online harms bill,
00:13:41.520 Trudeau. And this headline appeared in newspapers across the country using exactly Trudeau's perspective,
00:13:49.680 verbatim saying it's just about child safety, not about censorship, which is what Trudeau wants you
00:13:54.480 to believe. Just take a look at this. This is what it looks like on Twitter. You can see that every
00:13:59.120 single headline had said the exact same thing. It was just Trudeau's words wrapped up into a headline,
00:14:05.840 literally the legacy media. Just take Trudeau government talking points, take a liberal talking
00:14:09.840 points, publish it as news. This is what happens when you have a bought and paid for media. They
00:14:15.760 just do exactly what Trudeau says. And so within that news story, you can see the exact same thing.
00:14:21.280 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising that his government's upcoming bill to legislate
00:14:25.760 against online harms will focus on making the internet safer for minors, while not censoring Canadians.
00:14:31.280 Of course, that's what the liberals say. They're lying. The liberals aren't telling you the truth,
00:14:36.800 but that's what they're saying. And then instead of being, you know, skeptical about it and being
00:14:41.760 critical of it, which is the role of a free press, the media just tells you what Trudeau is saying
00:14:46.720 about the bill, barely even mentioning what all these other opposition people are saying. It's a huge
00:14:51.840 bait and switch, right? They're saying it's about child safety, which I think most Canadians get behind.
00:14:56.640 I have my own concerns. I think, again, it's probably the role of parents to do a lot of this kind of
00:15:00.960 stuff rather than a heavy handed government. But I think most parents, most Canadians can get behind
00:15:05.520 the idea that there should be more protections for kids online. Fine. The bait and switch is that,
00:15:11.040 as the critics said, as the civil liberties organization, as Michael Geist, as law experts,
00:15:16.000 law professors say, this is getting into censorship territory. This is getting into surveillance state
00:15:23.120 territory. So they do the bait and switch. And then when all else fails, they simply go to attacking
00:15:29.840 Justin Trudeau's opposition, Pierre Polyev. So we saw a taste of this last Friday before the bill was
00:15:34.480 even introduced on February 23rd. We cover this in the show as well. True North's own Andrew Lawton was
00:15:41.120 at a press conference with Pierre Polyev last Wednesday. He asked a question about the upcoming
00:15:46.640 online harms bill because everyone knows it's been coming down the pike. They've been talking about this
00:15:51.520 legislation for two plus years. So we've known it's been coming for a long time. Pierre Polyev was
00:15:58.160 asked about it. And he, you know, he didn't mince words. Let's just put it that way. I played the clip
00:16:02.560 on my show yesterday. He came out swinging against Justin Trudeau. Well, here is Breakfast Television's
00:16:09.120 Sid Sexero. He's a very popular broadcaster. He's got a big following. He's a sports guy. And he,
00:16:18.480 I'm going to play this clip. I'll walk you through it. I'm going to point out a couple of my critiques
00:16:24.000 about this way that the media go after Pierre Polyev. But here is Sid Sexero from last Friday prior to the
00:16:31.840 legislation being introduced, but criticizing Pierre Polyev proactively for criticizing Trudeau
00:16:37.760 for the upcoming online harms act. So let's play that clip. Canada's federal political situation.
00:16:45.440 Pierre Polyev and the conservatives have been sitting pretty easy here for a while. And depending
00:16:51.440 on the poll that you look at, reputable polls in this country, the conservatives are anywhere from 15
00:16:56.400 to 20 points up. Depending on the week and depending on the story, Justin Trudeau and the liberals have
00:17:02.880 a long way to go. This is just a latest example. This is a nanos research poll. 17. Just pause it
00:17:08.560 there for a second. Justin Trudeau has a long way to go. So, so even just the way he's talking about it,
00:17:13.600 you know, Pierre Polyev is popular because he's talking about the issues that Canadians agree with.
00:17:17.280 Canadians are so tired of Justin Trudeau, so tired of his divisiveness, so tired of his left wing agenda
00:17:22.720 that is making life so difficult for so many Canadians. I mean, I don't have to go through it
00:17:27.520 all. You guys know what I'm talking about. Obviously the conservatives are up because they have a more
00:17:33.120 popular leader and they have better ideas and Canadians want to change. But yeah, just the way he's
00:17:39.600 he's prefacing this whole thing, saying that liberals have a way to go. They got to catch up. They got to,
00:17:44.320 they got to win this thing back. And you can see that's where this is going. Okay, let's keep this.
00:17:48.720 Let's resume the clip. For Pierre Polyev and the federal conservatives. Now, again,
00:17:53.200 we're not looking at an election till October of 2025-ish. That's kind of the time frame. But
00:18:00.320 yesterday was a very interesting day because Pierre Polyev in the media availability kind of let it fly.
00:18:07.520 And we haven't seen this from the conservative leader in a bit. Here is a synopsis of what was said
00:18:13.600 yesterday. Pierre Polyev is against impending legislation that would combat hate speech,
00:18:20.080 terrorist content, and violent material online. The bill isn't even written yet. But he went after
00:18:25.760 Trudeau for that. He also said Trudeau was not... Okay, just this way, just the way that he phrased
00:18:29.920 that again. So he's saying, you know, the liberals are introducing this great bill that will go after
00:18:34.240 hate speech and terrorism. And Pierre Polyev has the audacity to go against it, even though it isn't even
00:18:40.240 written yet. I've got news for you. It was written. It was written last week. It was written two weeks
00:18:45.040 ago. This thing had been leaked all throughout the press. By last Friday, it was written. I mean,
00:18:50.320 it was introduced first thing Monday morning. So this guy's not even factually correct to say the
00:18:54.720 bill isn't even written yet. It's come through several iterations. We've been seeing it coming,
00:18:59.360 like I said, for a long time now. Hence why Andrew Lawton asked Pierre Polyev that question in the first
00:19:05.200 place. So it's not even factually true. And just the way that he presented that bill there
00:19:11.200 is designed to make you want to support Justin Trudeau. And like, how dare Pierre Polyev
00:19:17.680 have the audacity to come out against a bill that censors the internet? Okay, let's keep playing.
00:19:23.040 Peter to introduce this legislation because he wore blackface and racist costumes in the past. 0.68
00:19:30.960 Polyev went on to say he is against transgender women in female bathrooms,
00:19:34.640 changing rooms and in sports. Also, he said Trudeau should stay out of New Brunswick provincial
00:19:39.760 legislation that would no longer protect 2SLGBTQ plus students in school. So there are a lot of very
00:19:48.320 important issues here. Again, just pause it right there. The way that he frames that,
00:19:53.440 he's saying that Pierre Polyev said to stay out of New Brunswick schools. And then what was happening in
00:19:58.640 New Brunswick schools? Well, the way that Sid explains it is that somehow the government was cracking down
00:20:04.480 on gay kids or cracking down on sexual minorities. That's not what it's doing at all. It's just
00:20:09.680 saying that the parents need to be informed if a child wants to sexually transition, right? But the
00:20:15.120 way he framed it was it was about protecting kids, which I've talked about in the past on this program,
00:20:19.360 that the media, they don't tell you the gory details about what they're talking about. They just
00:20:23.280 use these kind of broad sweeping euphemisms, protecting kids, you know, protecting gay rights or
00:20:29.360 whatever, when really there's something a lot deeper. And just to what Sid said before that,
00:20:34.400 that Justin Trudeau wore blackface and Pierre Polyev noted that, yeah, I think that's pretty 0.98
00:20:39.360 important to note that a guy who, again, we know Justin Trudeau's past, we know that he was sort of
00:20:45.360 a reckless ne'er-do-well who didn't do a lot in the world before he decided to get into federal politics.
00:20:51.680 He ran entirely on his name and the fact that he was a Trudeau and that he was the son of Pierre Trudeau,
00:20:57.280 and kind of used his celebrity power to weasel his way into becoming the leader of this country,
00:21:02.480 and we've been stuck with him for the past nine years. But I think it's perfectly fine and perfectly
00:21:07.840 correct to note that Justin Trudeau has this past. Like, the way the journalist is talking about it,
00:21:12.400 it's like, how dare Pierre Polyev mention that our prime minister used to just be like a total jerk 0.99
00:21:18.880 and like totally insensitive and kind of racist. Like, we already knew that, that came out before, 0.99
00:21:24.400 so Pierre Polyev shouldn't talk about it. It's like, no, that's relevant. Pierre Polyev can mention
00:21:29.360 that all he wants. Okay, I think there's clips almost over, we'll just play the rest of it here.
00:21:33.760 He made a decision on publicly, Tam, and there were also just pot shots towards Justin Trudeau. Now,
00:21:41.520 for those who've known Pierre Polyev a long time, they will tell you this is Pierre Polyev. The Pierre
00:21:46.400 Polyev that will just go at you. Now, the other side is, the Conservatives have spent a lot of money
00:21:52.000 trying to soften his image. Because there are some people who believe that's not electable. I don't
00:21:56.400 care what the polls say, that is not electable in certain parts of the country.
00:22:01.440 So just having like an analysis there as to whether Pierre Polyev is allowed to be mean in
00:22:07.200 politics, whether he's allowed to take pot shots at the Liberals. News flash, it's politics. Watch
00:22:12.960 five minutes of question period and you will just see pot shot after pot shot back and forth. That's what
00:22:17.360 these guys do for a living. That's what we want them to do. We want them to vehemently disagree
00:22:23.360 and oppose each other. I used to talk about this a lot on my show. The thing that I, that drove me
00:22:28.640 the most, that drove me crazy the most when Aaron O'Toole was leader of the Conservative Party,
00:22:33.200 was that he agreed with the Liberals on too many things. So there were too many times where there
00:22:37.280 was unanimous consent in the House of Commons, where everybody agreed, where they passed these sweeping
00:22:42.160 bills or these motions. And there was no opposition, no opposition at all. And they would cheer that on
00:22:47.760 as if that was like a sign of progress in Canada. No, no, no, we don't all agree in this country.
00:22:52.640 And the point of an opposition is to oppose the government. And that is what Pierre Polyev is doing.
00:22:57.840 He happens to be very effective at it. And that is why Canadians are so supportive of him. We saw that,
00:23:04.080 that poll, 40%, 42% to the Liberals, 20%. So Canadians want that. It's good for the country
00:23:12.240 when we have people opposing the government and we have different views being represented in our
00:23:16.640 parliament. And yet we have these journalists sort of hand-wringing and feeling upset about it. And
00:23:23.040 like, how dare Pierre Polyev say mean things to our prime minister, using the euphemisms and using
00:23:29.840 government talking points to talk about the important issues in our country. And this goes
00:23:35.360 to a deeper problem. So what is really going on here? What is the deeper concern with this bill,
00:23:40.880 with this censorship, with Trudeau's new introduction of a surveillance state? There's another story that
00:23:47.360 came out this week that I wanted to quickly mention and tie together because this is a big story. So on
00:23:52.800 Thursday we learned, it was sort of a bombshell report, that the fired scientist from the Winnipeg
00:23:58.800 lab had in fact worked closely and covertly with the Chinese government, this according to a CSIS report.
00:24:06.800 So basically CSIS just finally confirmed what we have all known for a very, very long time, which is
00:24:12.800 that these two scientists, these two federal government employees who were working in a microbiology
00:24:19.520 national lab in Winnipeg, they were escorted out of their jobs, out of the lab in 2019, and then they
00:24:25.200 were fired in 2021. We've known about this for a long time. We've speculated that these were spies,
00:24:30.000 that these were people working with the communist regime. Well, CSIS has basically just come right
00:24:35.680 out and confirmed that. A huge story, incredibly important for Canadians to know that this was
00:24:41.440 happening on our grounds. There's so many examples of sort of Chinese interference, Chinese presence,
00:24:47.600 communist presence, the Chinese communist government, sorry, not just Chinese, but the Chinese
00:24:52.640 communist government having a presence in Canada, being deeply sort of involved in our institutions,
00:24:59.280 having clandestine plans. And this has just been confirmed. But if you remember at the time,
00:25:05.760 when the Conservatives were asking these questions, when Canadians were asking these questions,
00:25:09.920 I want to show you how Justin Trudeau responded to those questions. At the time, what did he do?
00:25:16.320 Well, he basically accused anybody asking him questions of, you guessed it, being racist. This
00:25:22.160 is Justin Trudeau's favorite play from his playbook. If you ask him a question he doesn't want to answer,
00:25:27.040 he'll come up with a way to call you a racist. Let's play this clip. This is from May 26, 2021.
00:25:34.240 Will he commit to ending this research and this cooperation with a regime that not only doesn't
00:25:40.560 have our interests in mind, but actually wants to hurt Canada? Honourable Prime Minister.
00:25:47.680 Mr. Speaker, yes, from the beginning of my career onwards, I have worked with many Chinese
00:25:52.320 Canadians and indeed had fundraisers with them. And the rise in anti-Asian racism we're seeing
00:25:57.200 over the past number of months should be of concern to everyone. And I would recommend the members of
00:26:02.080 the Conservative Party, in their zeal to make personal attacks, not start to push too far into
00:26:07.760 intolerance towards Canadians of diverse origins. We will continue to stand up to defend Canadians'
00:26:14.400 interests, Canadian security. We will continue to make sure that we're doing everything we can
00:26:20.080 to keep Canadians safe while participating in the global research community and stand up for tolerance
00:26:27.440 and diversity. It's all about tolerance and diversity there for the Prime Minister. So,
00:26:34.640 if you so much as ask about the scientists who were escorted out of a lab right before COVID hit,
00:26:42.080 and then later we learn that they were actually communist spies. But if you even ask about that,
00:26:47.040 it's because you, what did you say, have a zeal for personal attacks and you're engaging in anti-Asian
00:26:53.920 racism? So that's Justin Trudeau's first favorite play out of the playbook, accuse your opponents of
00:26:59.520 being racist. The second thing that Justin Trudeau does, and we saw him doing that just the other day,
00:27:05.360 was that he blames conspiracy theories. He blames independent media. He blames what he calls social
00:27:11.600 media drivers. This case, it was talking about the declining trust in the media. And he truly believes
00:27:17.280 that the only reason that he's behind in the polls and the only reason that Canadians don't like
00:27:22.080 the media anymore is because they're being fooled and they're being tricked by conspiracy theorists.
00:27:27.840 So that's Justin Trudeau's second favorite play. And his third one, as we'll see in this clip,
00:27:33.280 so this is from back in October, Justin Trudeau's dealing with a sort of heckler on the street who
00:27:38.720 confronts him and just says, you're ruining the country. What does Justin Trudeau say in response?
00:27:43.360 You must be listening to Vladimir Putin. Yes, that's what he said. Let's play this clip.
00:27:48.080 You're a new Putin. Thank you for everything you need. Look at this fucking buck team, bro. Look at
00:27:53.840 this buck team. Hi. Pleasure to see you as well. Hey there, how you doing? I'm not shaking your hand,
00:27:57.600 bro. You're a fucking piece of shit, man. Why's that, sir? You fucked up the entire country. You got 1.00
00:28:01.680 our buddy over there. Yeah, but how did I mess up this country? Can't anybody afford a home in this day?
00:28:06.720 You're charged with people carbon tax. You got nine V8s here idling for 30 minutes. 0.97
00:28:12.560 Your carbon footprint is increasing. We're getting charged for what?
00:28:15.760 You know what we're doing with the carbon tax? We're putting a price on pollution.
00:28:19.120 Right. And we're returning it to families like yours.
00:28:21.040 I don't think so. You're sending it over to Ukraine, right?
00:28:23.280 No, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You send it over to the guy that you were with that slaughtered his own country.
00:28:27.280 You've been listening to Putin, haven't you? I mean, I'm not a big fan of vulgar language and
00:28:38.080 heckling someone, but you know that there's a patriot out on the street, common sense guy,
00:28:42.800 pointing out to the prime minister some true facts about the carbon tax, about the hypocrisy of having
00:28:48.080 all these SUVs outside idling or we're paying more in carbon tax. Trudeau tries to go into his
00:28:53.440 list of lies about how the carbon tax is actually good for you and you actually get money, which is
00:28:59.920 not factually true. And then the guy says, you're sending money to Ukraine. And he's like, oh, you're
00:29:04.560 listening to Putin. You're a conspiracy theorist. The only reason you don't like me is because you're
00:29:09.600 listening to the enemy. You're basically a traitor. So what does this all say? Justin Trudeau, we know 1.00
00:29:14.560 this. He wants to silent his opponents. He wants to divide Canadians. He wants to separate us into little
00:29:19.920 groups and pit us against each other and divide us. He truly believes that people who oppose him
00:29:25.840 are propagandists or conspiracy theorists or just flat out traitors. And now he is weaponizing his
00:29:32.160 ideology into legislation. He wants it. He wants to make it illegal for you to disagree with him,
00:29:38.320 not just illegal. He wants you to pay a $70,000 fine and face life in prison for saying or thinking
00:29:45.440 the wrong thing. This puts a chill on freedom of expression in our country because even if you are
00:29:51.680 thinking about posting something, you might have a second thought because of this. You don't know
00:29:56.480 exactly where the line is because we don't have definitions for any of these things. Hate speech,
00:30:00.240 propaganda, advocating genocide. We don't have definitions for them. We know those words have been 0.72
00:30:05.440 taken out of context and manipulated over the last several years by the sort of Orwellian language
00:30:11.040 police. Like what does the word genocide even mean anymore? People get accused of committing genocide
00:30:16.400 for all kinds of reasons, for all kinds of things. We hear that there's a trans genocide or there was
00:30:20.880 a First Nations genocide at residential schools. These words don't even have meanings anymore. But the idea
00:30:26.320 is that you can face fines and potentially go to jail just for saying the wrong thing. If Canada were a free
00:30:34.160 country with a free press, the media would be ringing the alarm over this assault on our freedoms,
00:30:40.560 on our God-given right to freedom of speech, the most important of all freedoms. But sadly,
00:30:45.200 Canada is not a free country. We do not have a free press. We have a media ecosystem that has been bought
00:30:50.480 and paid for by the Trudeau government, by the liberals. And so the media, they don't do anything,
00:30:55.920 or they do the opposite. They cheer on Justin Trudeau. They applaud his efforts to censor opinions that
00:31:01.040 they don't like. And they gaslight you by telling you that it's all about protecting safety and
00:31:06.400 protecting children. Well, it isn't. This is more than just fake news. This is a coordinated attack
00:31:11.440 on our basic and God-given freedoms. And every Canadian should oppose this bill for those reasons.
00:31:17.920 All right. Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you have a great weekend.
00:31:20.560 It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
