Jasmine talks about Trump's latest comments about Pierre Polyev and why they might be good for the Trudeau government, and why it might not be so good for Justin Trudeau. She also talks about why she thinks Trump's comments about Polyev might be a good thing for the PM.
00:12:09.600So the fact that he is endorsing the liberals and saying I prefer to deal with the liberals because Pierre hasn't been nice to me.
00:12:14.760And, again, that's saying that he wants Canada to be weaker so that he can get a better deal to either get rid of that trade surplus or trade deficit for the United States or make Canada the 51st state.
00:12:26.580So, again, I don't think that this is in any way can be twisted as being good for the liberals.
00:12:33.340Exactly. Exactly. Except for the fact that the media will always be there to push Trump derangement syndrome and to say that, you know, well, somehow that Mark Carney is possibly the best one to deal with President Trump.
00:12:49.080You know, I again, it's just that feeling of disappointment more than anything.
00:12:53.260And to me, you know, not to be too unprofessional, but there's that whole like F.A.F.O. saying that goes around.
00:13:00.500And I feel like the liberals have been seeing some of that right now.
00:13:04.400You know, you had the Trudeau government who who quite honestly, it's bizarre to me, all of these conversations about, oh, our democracy, our sovereignty.
00:13:12.500Meanwhile, I'm like, you completely disrespected the democratic right of the American people, of the president of the United States during the period of time that he was no longer president.
00:13:23.260You never thought that he was going to win again.
00:13:26.840And so you used that opportunity over the last number of years to smear him and make these illogical comparisons of Canada's conservatives, which by all accounts are not even remotely close to Republicans.
00:13:40.820And you use that opportunity to create this fear in your nation that that simply doesn't exist.
00:13:46.580There's no real reason why any of it needs to exist that I've been able to find thus far.
00:13:50.920And you didn't think he was going to win.
00:14:15.560And it's just unbelievable and deeply concerning as well, the narratives being crafted from it all.
00:14:21.980And I do believe personally that I think that that I don't know that that was necessarily an endorsement, but it kind of was at the same time.
00:14:31.040But I think, moreover, the biggest picture here is, OK, well, Donald Trump is saying that he wants to annex Canada, essentially.
00:14:39.020That's the language, right, that people are putting out there.
00:14:42.580And he's saying that him getting what he wants will be easier to achieve under a liberal government.
00:14:48.900Oh, the conservatives haven't been very nice to me.
00:14:51.100And that's just a bizarre comment to make to begin with.
00:14:53.800And so I think the bigger picture that people need to focus on here is, OK, well, listen, if you if you don't like Donald Trump, well, you should probably like Pierre Polyev and the conservatives then.
00:15:05.760Because, you know, apparently Donald Trump doesn't view them as as somebody who he can just stomp all over.
00:15:12.760He views them as somebody with a bit more of a spine.
00:15:15.680But of course, you have, you know, the the mainstream media not at all portraying that message.
00:15:20.180And instead, I've seen so many bizarre takes on this story since it since it broke of people who are using it as, oh, see, this is why team Carney.
00:15:28.180I'm like, what is happening in this country?
00:15:30.140I don't understand what is wrong with the minds of some people who cannot see this bigger picture.
00:15:36.480Well, it's one of those things that had it been reversed.
00:15:38.640So say Donald Trump had come out and said, I don't like the liberals.
00:15:44.220Then the media would have spun that as if you imagine is a mega.
00:15:47.820And and the reason that they want this is because they want to turn North America into like the hands made tail or something.
00:15:53.820And so it's like either either way, whatever whatever Trump says, the media and the liberal party will go into like complete spin mode to use that to promote Mark Carney and to criticize Pierre Polyev.
00:16:05.040But then I have seen a lot of criticism of Pierre Polyev on the political right as well.
00:16:09.360We've talked about this before on the show that people wish that he had made a message that was just different than the liberals.
00:16:15.740Like right now, when it comes to Trump and trade, there's not much daylight between the liberals and the conservatives, even with the retaliatory tariffs that both parties agree that we need to implement.
00:16:27.080I personally think that tariffs are a terrible idea and a much better approach would have been to try to negotiate with Trump and to try to say, look, Donald Trump is raising some very valid points.
00:16:36.740We need to crack down on our fentanyl industry.
00:16:43.860Let's use this as an opportunity to make Canada better and fix so many of the mistakes that Dustin Trudeau made over the last decade.
00:16:48.780Instead, we kind of have this who's going to say who's going to be the bigger, you know, who's going to push back against Donald Trump more and who's going to thump their chest harder and wrap themselves in the Canadian flag more.
00:16:59.920And so we saw more of that from Pierre Polyev.
00:17:01.760So in response to Trump's comment this morning, Polyev went on to X and he wrote the following.
00:17:07.640He said, last night, President Donald Trump endorsed Mark Carney.
00:18:09.120And I understand, of course, we have this Canada first.
00:18:11.880We have this this unbelievable Trump derangement syndrome.
00:18:15.620That's the best way to describe it, where as a party leader, it really does appear that Donald Trump is going to be the winning ballot question, really.
00:19:02.800The response back from all parties has has felt very weak to me and not productive.
00:19:07.580It really it's just the longest story of all time at this point.
00:19:12.400The fact that we here we are how many months later since we first got got word of this and the same the same things are being said from both parties is beyond me.
00:19:22.020Like somebody needs to actually come to the table finally and say, yeah, we're not going to tax our citizens even more.
00:19:29.660How many reports have we heard of other industries as well coming out saying that the Trump tariffs will hurt, but the Canadian tariffs are going to hurt them so much more in terms of their industry.
00:20:01.240OK, let's get some of those negotiations going, because I don't I don't know why some people may call me silly, but I still have quite a hard time believing that this is actually about Donald Trump wanting to annex Canada.
00:20:14.380There is no way Donald Trump would want even more Democrats in the United States.
00:20:21.440I mean, I like I tend to think that at first he said it as a joke.
00:20:24.960And then the more he said it, the more he started to convince himself that it's true that Canada, you know, we rely entirely on American trade and American defense.
00:20:34.060And so if we don't have like our own market that we can survive without American trade and we can't defend ourselves and Canadian politics is built upon everybody bashing the Americans and the smug anti-Americanism that exists mostly in the wrench in Canada, but certainly among the elites in politics and the media.
00:20:53.240And it's like, why would they put up with that?
00:20:57.520Now, I want to shift gears a little bit here, Desmond, and talk about Mark Carney, because he was in Europe and it was a little strange, right?
00:21:02.720He becomes prime minister over the weekend.
00:21:26.840And we covered this extensively on the show yesterday, but I just want to reiterate a few points.
00:21:31.140So I think that Mark Carney did this because he wanted to appear like he was shifting away from the Americans and say, look, I can rely on all of my old alliances and friendships when I was the governor of the Bank of England and when I was a chairman of the World Economic Forum.
00:21:45.800And when I was a special envoy to the United Nations, look at my fancy elite globalist friends.
00:21:50.400I'm going to go over there and sort of flex my globalist muscles.
00:21:54.040And he said, actually, interestingly, he said that we don't need another country to validate our sovereignty.
00:23:01.380This is from Sky News reporting in the UK, explaining Mark Carney's visit and why the UK basically just didn't want to have a public event with him.
00:23:11.640Mark Carney, Canada's new prime minister back in London, strengthening old alliances as his country comes under sustained economic and political attack from its American neighbour.
00:23:21.540He was looking for firm support from his British counterpart.
00:23:30.180We're at a point in history where the world is being reordered.
00:23:35.120And your leadership, the leadership of the UK, I think can be decisive.
00:23:54.200The British prime minister wasn't taking questions.
00:23:57.220He has our own relationship with the US to think about.
00:24:00.180So Mark Carney is sort of a liability and he wasn't met with open arms.
00:24:05.240He wasn't able to negotiate any kind of deal in Europe.
00:24:07.660So he left Europe empty handed with no trade deal, no new relationship, nothing to show for himself.
00:24:15.260And the only thing that did happen was he had that embarrassing feud with his own doting press, like the people who were on his side, like Rosemary Barton of the CBC, you know, speaking very condescendingly to them and sort of unnecessarily picking a fight with him.
00:24:30.160So from my perspective, Mark Carney's entire trip to London, to England was a total disaster.
00:24:56.620I have so many thoughts about that and things that I'm potentially nitpicking just a little bit too much.
00:25:02.640But I think in general, of course, it is important for a new leader to go and meet all of your allies around the world.
00:25:10.460Obviously, the fact that it was Europe and it wasn't, I don't know, maybe China to help with the 100 percent tariffs that the media is simply just not outraged about at all, that is going to absolutely wipe out a lot of industry in the prairies, especially.
00:25:25.960That's bizarre. It's bizarre that it wasn't with the U.S.
00:25:29.380I think I think overall, I don't think that Donald Trump would take Mark Carney seriously at this point until he wins a federal election.
00:25:36.720So perhaps that could have something to do with it as well.
00:25:39.780The one thing that I will say, and this is me potentially just nitpicking a little much, is the fact that, you know, you have Donald Trump who has been going after everybody.
00:25:51.600It's not just Canada. It's far from just Canada.
00:25:53.540And one thing that Donald Trump has been very, very particular about has been to remove the elites, the globalist initiatives and agendas out of America.
00:26:05.800And in that same time frame, you have Mark Carney, who is elected, who certainly if you do some research, you can put some pieces together there.
00:26:13.600And then you also have the leaders in both France and the U.K. who are all a part of the same types of organizations.
00:26:20.600And it's really fascinating to me, and perhaps this is just something more to think about, that our prime minister, Mark Carney,
00:26:28.440rather than going to mend relationships with something that's going to hurt our economy even more,
00:26:35.060he decided to go and, I don't know, hang out with, I guess, for a few days,
00:26:40.860some other leaders whose countries economically and culturally are very much in the same disaster that ours are.
00:26:49.160And, you know, they say, oh, we're going to change things.
00:26:51.620Well, it doesn't sound like you are, actually.
00:26:53.740And here we are again, you go, you go down and, of course, you know, cool, he used to live there.
00:27:01.020He used to be in their, their box over at Wimbledon.
00:27:05.680And so it's just interesting to me that he goes there and you don't have a single country coming to Canada's defense publicly at all.
00:27:14.680And then on top of that, I feel like it almost just further drives the wedge in between Canada and the USA.
00:27:22.320And I don't understand what the purpose was.
00:27:25.220I think it was a massive waste of dollars, not to mention the fact that Justin Trudeau and Melanie Jolie were both in those exact same regions weeks ago discussing the exact same things.
00:27:53.500He wrote that Mark Carney's European delegation was a total disaster, came back with no trade deals, no answers on his financial conflicts, which we'll get to later in the show.
00:28:01.480And no real plan on Trump's tariffs, just more lies, gaslighting and excuses.
00:28:08.220And one of the things that Dan highlights in that piece, Jasmine, is this exchange where Mark Carney is talking about how we don't need another country to validate our sovereignty.
00:29:52.500He did that again just two days ago, if I'm not mistaken.
00:29:55.460And then you put Stephen Guibault as the leader of Quebec, essentially.
00:30:00.680Not actually, but I don't remember what the actual title was.
00:30:03.100But then you put him there and it's like, OK, great.
00:30:06.220So I guess we're just never getting pipelines, I suppose.
00:30:09.280And, you know, it's just the entire response to this situation has been nothing but weakness.
00:30:14.180And I fault all parties for that, because if this wasn't an issue, if you were a very strong country that was very united, you know, you weren't in a post-national state where you had increasing unemployment rates, increasing homelessness rates and all of these awful things that are just destroying our society.
00:30:32.540If you really were what you claim to be, the moment that Donald Trump would have said that, it would have been met with a laugh.
00:30:39.700And you would have just like, well, what a stupid thing to say.
00:30:41.860And you would have never given it attention.
00:30:43.460And do you want to know what would have happened if you never gave it attention?
00:30:45.880I'm willing to bet Donald Trump likely still wouldn't be saying that.
00:31:00.520And just even the idea, like, I think that Mark Carney really has benefited from Donald Trump.
00:31:06.960He should be sending flowers to Donald Trump, thanking him for making Trump the biggest issue in the campaign, because then it allows Mark Carney to come back on this.
00:32:54.380This was, yeah, interacting with the press.
00:32:58.280So we just put together a short little montage to refresh everybody's memory of how Mark Carney was dealing with a press who want nothing more than to praise him and love him.
00:33:07.800They, you know, they're interested in the conflict of interest because Canadians are.
00:33:11.960They would never touch any of the deeper social questions that we have about Mark Carney or any of the bigger controversies surrounding his time in the UK.
00:33:20.560They, you know, this is like pretty kid glove level stuff.
00:33:23.300Like, tell us about your money and where it's investing and whether it's going to be a conflict.
00:33:27.420And even that, he can't handle the pressure.
00:33:29.960And I think that's what this clip really shows.
00:33:31.220So play the clip and then we'll react to it.
00:33:34.300With Canadians not being aware of what potential conflicts of interest.
00:33:37.780What possible conflict would you have, Stephanie?
00:33:40.240Stephanie, I'm complying with the rules.
00:33:42.180I'm complying with the rules in advance.
00:34:09.940Your line of questioning is trying to invent new rules.
00:34:13.880So to me, all that speaks to is just, I mean, his character and like a total inability to have like anyone question him and his authority.
00:34:22.780And, you know, total like being thin skinned as well.
00:34:26.480Being not a very good politician and obviously trying to evade something.
00:34:29.500Like he doesn't want people to know where his money is invested.
00:34:31.800And he won't just kind of come clean and say, yes, the ethics commissioner rules say 120 days.
00:34:36.680But given the special circumstances that I was just selected by my party to be the interim prime minister, which in Canada just means the prime minister.
00:34:42.800And I haven't been democratically elected.
00:34:44.680And we're about to go into a campaign.
00:34:46.220And Canadians deserve to know where all of my millions and millions of dollars are invested.
00:35:10.840And also, too, you know, you have to keep in mind that throughout that entire press conference that he had done and the questions that followed, the amount of times that he said something disparaging about Pierre Polyev, about Donald Trump.
00:35:21.760And it was definitely with ill will and you were trying to craft something that didn't necessarily need to be there.
00:35:28.720So I always just think that's funny when somebody does something and then responds very differently when they assume it's being done to them.
00:35:35.840But, you know, for people to want, I understand, sure, it's been a little bit of a big talking point.
00:36:04.920He has discussed central banking, digital banking.
00:36:09.300These are all things that Mark Carney, as far back as 2015, if I'm not mistaken, has been advocating for.
00:36:15.900Many of these things he has actually designed how they would roll out.
00:36:19.400And he has unofficially lobbied governments to to impose certain measures about these very things.
00:36:26.660And so it's bizarre to me to have him say what possible conflicts of interest could there be while in the same breath, also discussing these programs, initiatives, ideologies that he's very much involved in, that his investments have have very much been tied to,
00:36:40.400that have made him achieve more wealth in a few short years, really, than any Canadian households will see in their entire lifetime.
00:36:48.360So I think it's a very fair question to ask.
00:36:50.600And, you know, of course, we won't know the answer of that.
00:36:53.620And even when the ethics commissioner comes out, it's not like we're going to have this full, complete list of all of the pieces that are tied together.
00:37:01.360There will be a lot of information in there that you'll be able to see, knowing of certain conflicts of interest, at least.
00:37:10.320And I don't mean to say, oh, well, because you're being silent about it, that means that you're hiding something.
00:37:14.840I'm saying that I I'm I'm assuming that you're probably hiding something based on your past and based on your past involvement with multiple governments, most notably, obviously, the liberal government with Justin Trudeau.
00:37:29.980So that's why people think that you're hiding something.
00:37:32.400And when you respond like that, if it was really so easy to say, you would think that just in order to take that talking point away from the conservatives, he would just say it.
00:37:42.200Well, exactly. And I mean, you kind of danced around it, but like he does have a financial stake potentially in imposing these regulations and ensuring that some of these green schemes go back to other things that he's been on the board of and investing in.
00:37:56.360So like this idea that he has come in, he's our prime minister, he was obviously coronated long before the Liberal Party vote voted for him.
00:38:03.540It was decided that he was going to be the leader. He was placed in this position.
00:38:08.120Anyone who posed a real threat to him, the Liberal Party found a way to disqualify them.
00:38:12.280They had 400000 members that were registered to vote and only 150 of them, only 150000 of them actually voted.
00:38:19.420So just like so many questions around how this guy was put into power.
00:38:23.420And you're wondering, like, why would anyone want to take the job when the Liberal Party was so down and out that, you know, there must be some reason why someone convinced him, hey, go be prime minister.
00:38:32.860What is it? Is it to do with finances? And I think this is interesting because even the legacy media, which I've said, and I'll say it again, they want Mark Kearney to win.
00:38:41.000They love Mark Kearney. They respect him. They think he's wonderful.
00:38:44.500They think he's like a really nice guy.
00:38:46.020They talk glowingly about him and they don't have a problem with any of the way that he's been installed.
00:38:51.180They don't have a problem with proroguing a parliament or anything like that.
00:38:54.420The reason that they're asking those questions is because it's so blatantly obvious that there could be a conflict of interest and that this is not how it's done in Canada.
00:39:02.320That even the press who would, in any other circumstance, do anything to defend Mark Kearney, to shield Mark Kearney from difficult questions, to shield him from even answering questions that Canadians deserve to know, like where he stands on divisive social issues.
00:39:17.480They don't want to ask him anything about that.
00:39:19.660What they do want to ask him about is this, and he can't even take it, which to me, again, it's just like really, really eye-opening.
00:39:27.800And I think that he obviously has to answer for it, and the Conservatives are making a big deal about this as well.
00:39:36.120So we reported this over at Juno News that the Conservatives demand that Mark Kearney reveal his Brookfield stock options.
00:39:43.860And so one of the things that we learned is that he got a multi-million dollar stock option deal.
00:39:48.540So, Jasmine, even if he puts his money into a blind trust, he knows that he has a lot of money in Brookfield.
00:39:56.580And there was a report that just came out as we were coming on air that shows that while he was chair of Brookfield, the company's assets increased by like 20% or something like that, whereas in Canada, they actually decreased.
00:40:10.820Obviously, they moved their headquarters out of Canada, even though it's a Canadian company.
00:40:14.060It's now a majority of its assets are in the U.S. and American companies, which goes to show like even a Canadian asset management company doesn't want to invest in Canada because of these liberal policies.
00:40:24.260But I think that this is a bigger issue.
00:40:26.940I know it's a bit complicated and maybe it's not, you know, really easy for Canadians to understand.
00:40:32.180But the more you kind of look into his finances and the way it's structured and this blind trust and his refusal on him saying, what possible conflicts could I have?
00:40:39.300And now coming out, admitting that he could have conflicts and that he's going to allow the ethics commissioner to create a screen.
00:40:46.280This was reported in the National Post.
00:40:47.960As you can see there, Kearney admits to potential conflicts of interest with Brookfield after saying like 24 hours earlier, like what possible conflict could I have in fading outrage?
00:40:56.960You know, I think that that it is shown that there is a problem here that even the media can't ignore.
00:41:32.560I'm like, you haven't even lived here in 10 years up until January when you bought a property.
00:41:36.880But OK, like I just think overall, you know, he's so unbelievably unrelatable.
00:41:42.100And it's bizarre, the shielding that's happening and the fact that finally you have some people saying that something here isn't right and we're going to start calling you out on it.
00:41:52.400And to have him react in such a way is just bizarre to me.
00:41:56.020And also, you know, more than that, it's been shocking to see the left eat itself alive right now and the amount of people who have been coming after Rosemary Barton for her her follow up question.
00:42:17.720Maybe we can get back to more of that because that's how it should be.
00:42:20.320You're supposed to press and get answers rather than shield people.
00:42:24.180But I do think that Mark Carney has a very lengthy rap sheet.
00:42:28.300He has obviously been involved in influencing policy.
00:42:31.220He has discussed that as well on the world stage at various conferences.
00:42:35.860There's clips of him discussing his influence and policy.
00:42:38.660And while, yes, he's in a blind trust, you know, that doesn't mean that all of his assets and investments are no longer there.
00:42:47.420He still knows exactly what all of them are.
00:42:50.520It's good if there are some screens put in place.
00:42:52.640We don't know how long they'll be put in place for.
00:42:54.840But at the end of the day, you know, the longer that he keeps talking about climate policy, you can guarantee that there's something of his that is probably benefiting from that.
00:43:04.960That's how he has made all of his money.
00:43:07.520Well, isn't it interesting that people are going after Rosemary Barton, right?
00:43:10.080Because presumably a journalist's job is actually to hold a politician accountable.
00:43:13.680But everybody knows the real deal here, that the CBC is the beneficiary of a liberal government because it was Justin Trudeau over and over again every time there's an election promising more money to the CBC, promising newspaper bailouts to Canada's failing newspapers.
00:43:28.840And so these companies, including the CBC, primarily the CBC, but also all the other newspapers now, are funded by the liberals.
00:43:36.060And therefore, it is expected that they will toe the party line and push for liberals.
00:43:41.560And so when they don't, liberals get very upset.
00:43:43.800And they're like, well, wait a minute.
00:43:55.460And I know that she will fall in line.
00:43:56.760She won't be pushing back at Mark Carney like that.
00:43:59.400Again, I'm sure she got a stern talking to from her boss and from liberal press secretaries that we know call up members of the press all the time and yell at them if they ask questions or if they write headlines that the liberals don't approve of.
00:44:13.240We've been reporting on that for years at True North and at Juneau News.
00:44:17.760And I just want to throw in one more story into the mix here, Jasmine, which is that in the middle of all this, Pierre Polyev announced that the Conservative Party will not invite members of the legacy media onto the campaign plane and campaign bus during the upcoming election.
00:44:34.580So it's widely rumored that we are going to be heading into an election as soon as this weekend.
00:44:44.380And in the midst of that, we got an email that was sent to the media from Jenny Byrne.
00:44:48.740Jenny Byrne is the national campaign manager for the Conservative Party.
00:44:52.540And she basically just says, well, read from it, says, hello, I'm writing to you today to update you on the plan for the Conservative Party campaign.
00:44:59.760We want to first stress that we'll be running a campaign that ensures strong, fair and equitable media access.
00:45:04.640As you're aware, costs for travel have risen considerably.
00:45:07.340At the same time, so is the capacity for digital and remote access to public events.
00:45:10.980And then she just goes on to say that they will not be a media, there will not be a media contingent on a Conservative bus or plane, though we welcome and encourage participation at all public events.
00:45:23.000So for those who might not understand what this is all about, during a national campaign, even during provincial campaigns, each party will travel around the country or the province, sometimes in a plane, sometimes in a bus.
00:45:35.300And as a journalist, as a member of the media, you can pay, and it's quite a hefty fee, you pay thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars to embed yourself into the campaign so that you can travel, so that you can get extra special access to the party leader and go around to events, and then you go and write about them.
00:45:52.640And so this has just sort of been part of Canadian politics for a very long time.
00:45:56.300And well within their prerogative, well within their rights, the Conservatives are saying, no, we don't want the legacy media on the inside.
00:46:02.360We don't want them following us around.
00:46:03.540We don't want them to have this kind of special access to us.
00:46:07.120We would actually rather just go around the country and talk to Canadians and talk to local journalists.
00:46:11.720So if we are in Manitoba, we want to talk to the reporters from Manitoba.
00:46:15.960If we're in Newfoundland, we want to talk to the reporters from Newfoundland.
00:46:18.520We don't need these Ottawa journalists who, let's be real, they all hate the Conservatives.
00:46:23.980None of them will be voting for the Conservatives.
00:46:25.900They will be going out of their way to nitpick Pierre Polyev, to look at him with a microscope, to try to create a scandal over anything that he does.
00:46:35.260Anything possibly that he does is exactly what they did with Andrew Scheer, is what they did before that with Stephen Harper.
00:46:41.240To a lesser extent, Aaron O'Toole, I think Aaron O'Toole was his own problem in the 2021 campaign, but still the media were going out of their way.
00:46:50.260I think there was a video at some point where Aaron O'Toole had gone for a run, and then he came home, and he asked his wife to get him a beer so that they could, like, sit and have a relaxing evening.
00:47:01.280And the media made a huge story about it.
00:47:31.040They openly allowed all the other media outlets to do it, and they said no to True North because they didn't like Andrew Lawton or because they believed that, you know, independent media shouldn't be on the campaign.
00:47:40.380We ended up suing the Trudeau government during that campaign.
00:47:43.140We won, and so Andrew Lawton eventually did get to go and ask questions of the Prime Minister.
00:47:47.320But the Liberals do this stuff all the time.
00:48:15.560But lots and lots of reactions from the legacy media clutching the pearls and condemning the Conservatives for not allowing them to do this.
00:48:24.680You know, I wouldn't be surprised, Jasmine, if the Liberals do the same thing.
00:48:27.380If the Liberals just say, yeah, we're not going to allow it.
00:48:30.700Given how bad he is at this and every time he talks to the press, he, you know, steps in it.
00:48:35.280I think that maybe we'll have a campaign where the legacy media and the Ottawa Press Gallery is just completely blocked out from both sides, which I think would be kind of fitting and deserving and entertaining.
00:48:48.820I think it's weird just solely because it's such an almost tradition, I suppose.
00:48:53.220I certainly understand the motive behind it.
00:48:56.040And again, you know, it's not that he's running and hiding from anything.
00:48:59.920It's that they're doing a big campaign tour.
00:49:03.200And, you know, that's maybe I don't want to have CTV News misquoting me with everything that they hear me say behind the scenes.
00:49:10.720And I think that that is definitely very fair.
00:49:13.200I think if Mark Carney doesn't do that, it'll probably end very poorly for him.
00:49:17.840So I almost kind of hope that he does allow the press on his.
00:49:21.180But, you know, I think as a whole, one thing, if I could say anything at all to the Conservative Party of Canada, it would be, you know, if you're choosing to do this.
00:49:33.100But also you should really, really be be speaking up more on on independent podcasts, independent sources, things like that.
00:49:42.120It's so, so imperative, because if you aren't going to have the mainstream legacy media with you during those moments where perhaps they won't go to your events, maybe they won't know about them or they'll lie and say that they didn't know about them.
00:49:53.220And then you won't get as much coverage as other candidates who do allow them to come by.
00:49:57.800It's going to be more important than ever to get people to to get to know you.
00:50:01.420You know, and I think, too, the Conservative Party has been smeared and lied about and there's been so much misguided, disingenuous publications about them and stories about them.
00:50:11.480And I think it's about time that Canadians stop believing every single thing that a headline reads and that, you know, there's more of a more of a taking advantage, I suppose, of the amount of people like yourself, myself and so many others who would absolutely love to have a sit down conversation.
00:50:31.420And I just think that that could be really beneficial, especially if they're choosing not to have media that will be reporting on them in a little bit more of a casual behind the scenes way.
00:50:42.680Right. Like in a non adversarial way, like let's get to know the leader of the party better.
00:50:47.500Let's get to know him in maybe different settings and environments other than just political interviews.
00:50:52.940I think that's absolutely right. If anyone from Pierre Polyev's team is watching, we would love to have Pierre Polyev back on this show.
00:50:58.760I know that Jasmine Lang would love to have him on her show. So definitely we'd like to see him go out there and do more interviews.
00:51:04.600All right, Jasmine, thank you so much for joining the show. It's been great to have you.
00:51:07.220That is Jasmine Lang. Go check out her YouTube page. It's really good, really entertaining.
00:51:11.420And that's all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for joining us. We'll be back again tomorrow with all the news.
00:51:16.320I'm Candice Malcolm. This is The Candice Malcolm Show. Thank you and God bless.
