The Candice Malcolm Show - Vancouver’s insane new “decolonized” street name + new census questions on sexual orientation

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:04.320 We have a great episode for you folks, but before we get into the content of the show,

00:00:07.980 I have some programming notes for you about what is going on here at Juno News.

00:00:11.900 Thanks to basically the huge support from our audience, we are growing incredibly fast,

00:00:16.620 and we want to keep up with the demand for our content and for our podcasts.

00:00:20.060 We're introducing new talent and new shows here on the network.

00:00:23.760 Starting tomorrow, we will have a new show called The Crime Report with Ron Chisner.

00:00:28.340 You may recognize that name. He was a conservative candidate in Oakville in the last election,

00:00:32.780 a former police officer. He is also a radio host, a really interesting person.

00:00:37.520 He is going to be doing a weekly show talking about the out-of-control crime in the GTA and all over the country.

00:00:44.520 So really looking forward to that. We also have Disrupted with Melanie Bennett.

00:00:48.800 Melanie is an investigative journalist with True North.

00:00:51.240 She does deep dives into the culture wars in Canada. 0.72

00:00:54.220 She exposes the absolutely out-of-control, woke ideology that is taking over our schools.

00:00:59.440 Even in supposedly conservative Ontario, we have a progressive conservative government,

00:01:03.960 and yet under that government, we have seen just an absolute out-of-control, woke ideology take over our schools.

00:01:10.080 And we're going to continue with the Monday show with Chris Sims.

00:01:13.420 Chris Sims is the Alberta director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:01:16.680 She's been filling in for me on Mondays, and we're going to continue that throughout the summer.

00:01:21.240 Let me spend more time focusing on growing the business and, of course, spending time with my children.

00:01:26.400 I have four young children. I like to spend as much time with them, especially in the summer months.

00:01:30.040 So Chris is going to be filling in for me on Mondays, and Candace Malcolm's show will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday for the rest of the summer, folks.

00:01:37.500 And I'm really excited. We have a new interview that is about to drop later today with our own Kian Bexty.

00:01:43.680 He sat down with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for a one-on-one interview.

00:01:48.560 It's going to be incredible. So you're going to want to check out JunoNews.com later today for that exclusive.

00:01:55.540 We have a little preview of that. So let's play that clip.

00:01:58.720 I think that that one-year period, instead of a normal amount of immigration and newcomers arriving,

00:02:05.260 which would be about 1% of the population, so maybe around 400,000 people a year,

00:02:11.060 we had 1.8 million. And you've seen the result of it.

00:02:13.980 The reason why housing prices have spiked, why food affordability has spiked, why affordability on every front has spiked,

00:02:22.100 is just because if you have too many people chasing too few jobs, too few homes, and too little employment,

00:02:31.260 you're just going to end up causing problems.

00:02:33.540 So the federal government blew it.

00:02:35.580 And it's such a tragedy.

00:02:36.980 Wow, that is going to be a great interview. Definitely check that out at JunoNews.com.

00:02:41.300 That is for premium subscribers.

00:02:43.140 Okay, let's get to today's show.

00:02:44.700 I'm really pleased to be joined by one of my favourite content creators online,

00:02:48.540 a Canadian, former Canadian lawyer turned political commentator.

00:02:51.600 He hosts huge live streams over on Rumble.

00:02:53.600 I'm talking about David Frye, who goes by Viva Frye online.

00:02:58.260 Viva, welcome to Juno News, Candace Belkin Show. Great to have you on.

00:03:00.960 Thank you for having me.

00:03:02.860 You have escaped. You're in the free state of Florida.

00:03:08.480 You've escaped Canada, but you still follow what's happening up here.

00:03:12.760 And I want to ask you, you know, I actually saw this story on The Daily Wire.

00:03:17.300 Matt Walsh covered it.

00:03:18.560 And it's not even surprising at this point because this stuff happens all the time,

00:03:22.560 but it is just one of those outrageous examples.

00:03:24.880 So this was a story out of Vancouver earlier this month, Vancouver's Tretch Street to be renamed

00:03:32.220 as something totally unpronounceable.

00:03:34.520 Okay, so the way that they pronounce it is Musqueam View.

00:03:37.540 So there's a Musqueam tribe and the name is now called Musqueam View.

00:03:41.740 But rather than just writing that word, Musqueam View, which is sort of pronounceable,

00:03:46.500 they decide to use this ridiculous phonetic alphabet that they use.

00:03:50.280 It's not phonetic at all.

00:03:51.520 That has new symbols that is just totally confusing.

00:03:54.200 Okay, so here is what that looks like.

00:03:57.160 There is a report from Global News covering this.

00:04:02.040 So here is a segment from reporter Paul Johnson explaining that they just couldn't call it

00:04:07.920 Tretch Street anymore because the person that's named after Joseph Tretch was apparently just

00:04:12.280 super racist.

00:04:13.220 Let's play that clip.

00:04:14.360 The street formerly known as Tretch had been named after BC's first lieutenant governor,

00:04:19.140 whose views and policies about First Nations people are now recognized as racist and wrong.

00:04:26.100 I'm sorry, I don't need to laugh.

00:04:27.700 They're now recognized as racist and wrong.

00:04:30.760 Investing is all about the future.

00:04:32.900 So what do you think is going to happen?

00:04:34.840 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.

00:04:37.380 I think it would come down to precious metals.

00:04:39.920 I hope we don't go cashless.

00:04:41.760 I would say land is a safe investment.

00:04:44.620 Technology, companies.

00:04:45.740 Solar energy.

00:04:46.780 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00

00:04:49.340 A wrestler to face a robot?

00:04:51.040 That will have to happen.

00:04:52.660 So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple.

00:04:58.400 Start now at Wealthsimple.com.

00:05:00.460 Are you going to show?

00:05:02.360 We'll see what it's spelled like.

00:05:03.960 I saw this and I also thought it was a joke.

00:05:06.620 I thought it was the Babylon Bee that A, it's unpronounceable.

00:05:12.260 B, it's unspellable.

00:05:13.960 C, it's impractical.

00:05:15.640 D, it's utterly trivial.

00:05:17.400 And it's the virtue signaling politics that have invaded not just Canada, but the states as well. 0.99

00:05:23.480 So it's idiotic, just superficial, paying tribute to the people that you've been devastating for the last however many hundreds of years to the extent that they believe that. 0.99

00:05:34.360 And this is how you pay homage to your abuse of the natives in Canada. 1.00

00:05:38.800 Name a street after them.

00:05:40.660 Unspellable that's only going to cause people to get angry every time they go by that street.

00:05:43.960 It's par for the course, but it's almost as vapid as the land recognitions that they make these people do, like they're being held hostage.

00:05:53.460 Land recognitions before you give a speech somewhere to acknowledge that you're on unseated land that you, by your own rationale, stole from the people who you are now paying tribute to and thanking them for the stolen land.

00:06:05.400 It's insanity.

00:06:06.980 Right.

00:06:07.240 And if they actually truly believed any of this, Viva, why won't they give it back, right?

00:06:10.860 Like it's one thing for lefty academics at the University of British Columbia to say, look, we don't agree that this land belongs to Canada.

00:06:17.820 We think it should be part of some other tribe, whatever.

00:06:20.560 OK, they're academics.

00:06:21.500 They can say that if they want.

00:06:22.820 It's quite another thing when you have King Charles or Mark Carney, and they both did that earlier this year.

00:06:27.880 They both frequently do it in Canada, saying that it's unseated land because if they truly believed that it was unseated, they actually have the power and the ability to give back.

00:06:36.560 But of course they won't because it's all just cosplaying, right?

00:06:39.320 It's all just make believe, making them feel better, virtue signaling, the height of it.

00:06:43.720 I mean, this is unbelievable to me.

00:06:45.080 So the Vancouver City Council voted unanimously to change the street name and remove the word trutch, getting rid of this colonial leader that we all agree has racist views.

00:06:55.280 I'm sorry, like point to anybody in 1900 that had views that we don't consider racist today, right?

00:07:01.060 Like the society had different views back then.

00:07:03.280 I'm sure what the native leaders were saying about the white Canadians was also quite racist, but we don't dwell on that.

00:07:08.100 We only look at it the other way around.

00:07:09.780 And so we've decided that the racist, we can't have that name anymore.

00:07:12.780 I mean, like when does this madness end, right?

00:07:15.240 And if there isn't like a single voice of reason on the Vancouver City Council, like you're saying, like if the council is unanimously voting to change, like how are they representing the views of Canadians?

00:07:26.260 Because Canadians don't unanimously support this kind of stuff, even in their own news report.

00:07:31.240 I'll play this bit, second segment from the Global News Report, talking about how the residents don't really like this, right?

00:07:37.640 They don't like having a virtue signaling street name that nobody can pronounce.

00:07:42.680 And this is kind of amusing, this clip.

00:07:44.980 But also apparently some of the other tribes in Vancouver also don't like the name change because they weren't consulted.

00:07:50.780 They only went to one tribe, apparently.

00:07:52.700 And so the other tribes are not happy.

00:07:54.220 Let's play that clip.

00:07:54.820 About half the Kitts residents we spoke with told us they support the change.

00:07:59.300 Others, though, said they were frustrated at the prospect of updating IDs and documents in an alphabet they don't know.

00:08:06.940 And the neighboring Squamish nation weighed in, saying they weren't properly consulted.

00:08:11.740 Weren't properly consulted, Viva.

00:08:13.360 So, I mean, this is kind of the funny idea, right?

00:08:15.760 Like even if you buy into this idea that Canada is somehow illegitimate and that the land actually belongs to the tribes who were here before the European settlers came,

00:08:23.900 like which tribe, right?

00:08:26.020 Because the tribes were warring tribes.

00:08:27.720 They were nomadic.

00:08:28.880 Something like over 100% of British Columbia is claimed by various tribes.

00:08:32.820 A lot of them overlap.

00:08:33.680 I think there are six different tribes that claim Vancouver to be part of their traditional territory, right?

00:08:39.460 And so, like, which tribe are we naming them after?

00:08:41.940 At what point in history are we going back to?

00:08:43.780 Because you're never going to satisfy everybody if you play this game.

00:08:46.900 Well, you know, and you mentioned I'm a former Canadian litigator, but I'm still Canadian.

00:08:50.980 A former litigator.

00:08:52.200 There's a concept in law like you can't apply criminal law ex post facto.

00:08:56.820 And so I have a theory like you're applying morality to the extent it's even modern morality in an ex post facto way that you cannot simply do.

00:09:04.600 And any more than in 100 years from now, they're going to be renaming these streets and damning everybody who had anything to do with renaming them

00:09:11.800 because you can't apply current standards, current moral norms to life 200 years ago, period.

00:09:17.940 It's unfair to do it.

00:09:19.280 It's dishonest to do it.

00:09:21.220 And so in law, you know, you can't try someone in the past for a new crime today, even if we accept that it's law today.

00:09:27.560 We're doing that basically ideologically now to historical figures.

00:09:30.760 But the most hilarious thing is, you know, there's always the joke that D.E.I. leads to D.I.E.ing.

00:09:36.540 And we're going to get to the point where like someone's going to have a fire on Musquiskot View Street and they're not going to know how to get there.

00:09:43.100 And then it's going to turn into like, well, where are you?

00:09:44.700 It's that street, the native street.

00:09:46.700 And then it's going to turn into like even more modern day racism and discrimination because people are going to say, geez, Louise, for me to cater to the historical wrongs that Canada might have carried out against the indigenous.

00:09:56.880 Now we've got to have these absolute unworkable modern day solutions. 0.98

00:10:00.080 Imagine you have a number of streets like this and they become unnavigable, almost as stupid as in the name of equality. 0.97

00:10:06.880 We're going to name each street the same name. 0.96

00:10:08.720 And then the policemen don't know which house to go to when it's burning down. 1.00

00:10:11.360 So it's absolutely idiotic, stupid, juvenile policy that might very well have real world consequences on an emergency basis. 1.00

00:10:22.040 But from a perspective of even quelling racial divide, quelling historical wrongs, you're just going to make modern day society angry and resentful at natives to the extent that they even asked for this. 1.00

00:10:33.400 I have a feeling, not to be mean, it was a bunch of liberal women, if I'm going to be totally rude about this, liberal women who are saying fly the menstrual equity flag in Victoria. 1.00

00:10:43.540 And this is how we thank them for the years of historical abuse.

00:10:48.040 Right. Well, I mean, I'm sure I'm sure that's right.

00:10:50.040 And even this is interesting.

00:10:50.980 So Vancouver Sun had a story saying Vancouver's Trutch Street is now an unpronounceable word and not everyone's happy.

00:10:58.100 And so they interview local resident Gail Langton, who said that she and her neighbors are in full agreement of getting rid of the Trutch name, given its terrible history.

00:11:06.760 And they support the name that they believed was coming, which was Musqueam View.

00:11:11.520 But they wanted it spelt using the Latin alphabet.

00:11:13.700 And the people with the affected addresses were surprised last week when this name ceremony happened and they pulled off this sign that's just total nonsense.

00:11:24.640 And that, of course, that puts people at risk.

00:11:27.000 Likewise, Jamie Sarkonok had a column in the National Post saying that literally this puts people's lives at risk, making the point that you just made their Viva emergency services have already expressed their concerns with the new name.

00:11:39.840 I'm getting in the way of saving lives largely because 911 colors might not be able to pronounce it.

00:11:44.260 Right. And people who live in this area, this is Kitsilano.

00:11:46.980 So I grew up nearby, actually, like one block over from Trutch is Blenheim.

00:11:51.100 That's the street I grew up on.

00:11:52.120 But I grew up on the other side of 16th, so up in Kerrisdale and Trutch doesn't go through.

00:11:56.140 So I'm close by where this was affected.

00:11:59.120 And, you know, this is a liberal population, right?

00:12:01.060 This is a very kind of they're politically correct and woke.

00:12:06.060 And they probably really, like in earnest, want to be able to pronounce this word.

00:12:09.820 They'll probably be practicing it just in case.

00:12:12.720 But, yes, in an emergency, if something's happening and you need the police to get there, you'll probably just end up saying Trutch Street.

00:12:18.480 Just come to Trutch Street because that's what everybody has called it in Vancouver for, what, like 100 years?

00:12:23.080 And yet now suddenly we're supposed to stage it.

00:12:25.620 And just in case you thought this madness was limited to liberal Vancouver, it is not.

00:12:29.980 It happened in Edmonton as well.

00:12:31.600 And this actually shocked me.

00:12:32.400 I was talking to a colleague who lives in Edmonton, and he told me the area that he lived in.

00:12:35.860 And I just punched it into Google Maps because I was trying to remember exactly what part of the city it was.

00:12:41.140 And it used to be called Oliver.

00:12:42.600 And now it has a name that's totally unpronounceable as well.

00:12:45.500 This has taken over Edmonton.

00:12:47.540 And they changed all the names of their words, Viva, to it used to just be very simple, Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3.

00:12:53.800 And then they just decided to put all kinds of names, again, totally unpronounceable, total nonsense to English speakers.

00:13:01.580 And what we're supposed to like, this is supposed to pay homage to indigenous.

00:13:05.600 If anything, it will either lead to your point, people kind of resenting this and saying like, what?

00:13:10.360 Why do we have to do this?

00:13:11.080 Making them angry at the people who are part of these tribes. 0.89

00:13:13.740 Or kind of making it like a butt of a joke, right? 0.99

00:13:17.500 Like people mock it because it's so absurd and ridiculous. 0.97

00:13:20.320 And I agree that it's sort of like woke virtue signaling white liberals trying to do something that they think is virtuous. 0.97

00:13:27.700 And it just ends up angering absolutely everybody.

00:13:30.140 Well, they do the most meaningless gesture because they don't want to make any actual meaningful sacrifice.

00:13:37.400 Ask them to give up their homes and give them to the indigenous on their own theory whose land they stole. 1.00

00:13:42.880 Well, sorry, whatever historical wrongs have been committed in the past, you cannot write them in the present.

00:13:48.600 Certainly not by renaming a street or thanking people for the land you stole from them.

00:13:53.540 You have to live with history as it was written and you can't rewrite it today.

00:13:57.420 But, hey, at least they'll feel good.

00:13:59.240 I voted for that one and they'll have a nice glass of Zinfandel or whatever the hell they drink while they look at this sign they can't pronounce.

00:14:05.920 And luckily, I guess, you know, checks from the government might not get to people who need them.

00:14:10.280 But if it's Kitsilano, you know, maybe there will be fewer people who are dependent on the government for that. 0.99

00:14:14.060 But it's it's it's idiocy. 0.99

00:14:16.640 It's par for the course, I say, for Canada. 1.00

00:14:18.820 But then, you know, you look what's happening in New York and you got people who are equally idiotically progressive getting the Democrat candidacy for the mayor. 0.96

00:14:27.760 Where you want to defund the police entirely while people are literally being set on fire in metros. 0.95

00:14:32.480 And then you want to increase 800 percent funding for anti-Semitic, you know, think tanks.

00:14:39.200 What the hell's going on?

00:14:40.120 It's virtue signaling at its highest.

00:14:42.880 But also it's there's a little bit of corruption in there as well. 1.00

00:14:46.800 But no, this is this is just idiotic. 0.74

00:14:48.600 I actually thought it was the Babylon Bee and they put the sign up there because people are going to know what to do with those signs from an alphabet that is not either of the two official languages of Canada. 0.85

00:14:57.460 Well, and then we that the ones in Edmonton, we're going to put them up on the screen.

00:15:01.320 But this isn't even the Latin alphabet at all.

00:15:03.140 They've created a totally different alphabet.

00:15:05.400 This is like this is peak virtue signaling viva.

00:15:07.440 This is word three became I'll give it a try here.

00:15:10.220 It's Taskawinowak, OK, and this name Taskawinowak is the Cree term referring to LGBTQ2S plus community.

00:15:20.180 It's rough English translation is in between people.

00:15:23.800 Right.

00:15:24.060 So they named a word after LGBT people in First Nations community.

00:15:29.640 Apparently they had a word for it.

00:15:31.440 I don't think I've seen any any virtue signaling quite that strong before.

00:15:35.240 Well, that's that's actually almost like abuse of the minorities where you say like, oh, I'm doing this for them, but I'm using them as tools to promote my radical gender ideology.

00:15:46.360 And you can't criticize it because I'm doing it in whatever whatever indigenous language it's in.

00:15:51.880 This is exactly the mentality of exploiting minorities and exploiting your pet projects to promote your own agenda. 0.90

00:15:58.820 It's disgusting.

00:15:59.620 The worst I mean, I'm sure you saw it, Candice, was when they were doing the Nova Scotia update on the missing kids.

00:16:05.240 And you got this police officer who looks like she's being held at gunpoint doing a land recognition in, you know, before talking about the missing children and spending almost as much time of this press conference talking about land recognition as the missing children.

00:16:17.780 So real life consequences.

00:16:19.580 But it, you know, at least they feel virtuous while they're screwing everything up and burning the house down.

00:16:23.420 Well, just speaking of these land acknowledgments, I mean, I mentioned that we saw King Charles do it and we saw we see Mark Carney and his wife do it all the time.

00:16:34.040 We reported this story at Juno News and we recently spoke to John Carpe at the Justice Center about a elected parent.

00:16:42.120 So a parent elected on one of these local school councils in Ancaster.

00:16:46.120 She was actually removed and suspended, not because she refused to do a land acknowledgment, but she wanted the council to take note that she didn't like them, that there wasn't unanimous that everybody agreed to these.

00:16:59.340 She just, in a very respectful way, said she wanted to pause and just say that she didn't agree with having to do these land acknowledgments and she literally got removed from council over that.

00:17:10.120 And so the Justice Center is representing her because in what world can you remove somebody for making a polite policy disagreement?

00:17:16.660 But again, like Canada is just taking these things so far.

00:17:21.300 And I just wanted to point out one more thing, Viva, because when it came to these this new language that that supposedly was used by the indigenous in Canada before the Europeans got here.

00:17:31.480 Right. Like I think famously, the indigenous didn't have written languages.

00:17:34.820 Right. They're oral languages. And we know we've heard so much about the fact that their traditions are oral traditions or history is oral traditions.

00:17:40.280 And so all of a sudden for me, I mean, as Vancouver native, I didn't see any of this kind of stuff pop up until the 2010 Olympics.

00:17:47.120 And then all of a sudden it was like they wanted to rebrand Vancouver to put it more in touch with like its native indigenous roots.

00:17:53.420 I think it was kind of like a branding thing to make Vancouver seem kind of unique and different at the time.

00:17:58.520 And then all of a sudden you started seeing these signs everywhere. Right.

00:18:01.220 And so I looked into the history of this written language. It's called the North American Phonetic Alphabet.

00:18:06.740 And supposedly it was there was some shorthand that was written by a bishop in the 1880s.

00:18:13.880 But really, this language was codified in the 1990s. In the 1990s, it was it was developed by linguistic linguist Andrew or Sir Randy Bouchard with a local speaker, Louis Miranda.

00:18:27.740 And they adopted the formal written system. This is for a Squamish nation. In 1990, the Musqueam nation that that sign was written.

00:18:35.380 It says this in 1997, our community formally adopted the North American Phonetic Alphabet, a script evolved over the last century, formalized by European and American anthropologists and linguists.

00:18:46.640 So this is a totally made up language. It was invented basically by academics in the 90s.

00:18:51.580 OK, so like, why do we have to accept this? It's it's it's it's just like it's an academic exercise. It's so ridiculous.

00:18:58.360 Well, it's again, it's it's it's the the no better virtuous government elites who are now saying what's best for the people that they're purporting to help after hundreds of years of exploiting them and and destroying their culture and their land and whatever, because you have to agree to that if if that's their premise. 0.90

00:19:16.900 But yeah, not now that they're doing it to preserve their own culture, because apparently they haven't been good enough at preserving their own culture.

00:19:21.900 It is it's it's progressivism for the sake of progressivism.

00:19:26.060 But at some point, and we've seen it now and we're at that point, progressivism becomes regressivism when you start treating people like like political tools and pawns to your own virtue game of chess, which is what I say Canadian liberals.

00:19:39.560 But to some extent, also, the Conservative Party doesn't have entirely clean hands on this, but it's it's it's it makes Canada a laughingstock in the States.

00:19:48.560 But California and New York seem to be taking their cues from from Canada in terms of, you know, modern day progressivism.

00:19:56.000 Well, they're giving us a run for our money, I guess. But I still think Canada far and away goes.

00:20:01.500 But I will say is a little point of I guess I guess this is good news.

00:20:05.860 Juno News reported back on June 11th that there was a study compiled by the Associates for Canadian Studies and Metropolis Institute.

00:20:13.620 And it found that 52 percent of Canadians don't believe this theory that Canada is on stolen land.

00:20:19.540 They kind of reject the idea that we're European settlers and that Canada is an illegitimate country.

00:20:24.140 I guess it's good news. Fifty two percent. So a majority rejected.

00:20:27.720 But but then on the flip side, 27 percent, a full 27.

00:20:31.960 So one in almost one in three Canadians do believe that we live on stolen land and then 21 percent declined.

00:20:38.540 So they don't know enough about it. But that's kind of a worrying statistic to me.

00:20:42.000 I would I would guess that like 10, 15 years ago, the number of Canadians who would have believed that would have been like a small group of people in the faculty club, like five percent of the population max.

00:20:51.360 Right. The fact that 27 percent of Canadians and it's a larger group for the younger generation, Gen Z, believe this, believe this idea that Canada is not a legitimate country.

00:21:02.240 Canada is uniquely evil and that we live on stolen land. 0.97

00:21:05.720 I mean, what do you what do you do with that portion of the population?

00:21:09.280 Well, I mean, I'd also love to see how that correlates with immigration policies, because now I think one in four Canadians is born outside of Canada.

00:21:17.400 And if you are someone who wants to come to the country and appropriate it's I don't know how that actually tax with immigration.

00:21:25.400 I would imagine that people who come to the country and say this this land is now ours because it was never yours in the first place would probably be more inclined to think, yeah, Canada stolen land.

00:21:34.560 And so therefore, I can come in here and claim it as my own and tell the Europeans to go home, as we've seen some of the Calistanis doing up in British Columbia. 1.00

00:21:44.280 But it's also the result of years of indoctrination.

00:21:46.860 And I don't think that that would be wildly different than in the States or at least in big blue cities at big blue universities.

00:21:54.200 The native local population have been brainwashed into thinking that they are inherently evil.

00:21:59.080 And in order to make up for that evil, you've got to destroy the system that allowed for Canada and America to blossom into what it's blossomed into.

00:22:06.600 So it's not shocking.

00:22:08.080 It's actually shocking that it's only 52 percent who think this is total hogwash.

00:22:11.580 I guess it hasn't gotten bad enough yet.

00:22:13.220 But when they start taking away people's houses and property in order to reapportion it for reparations for native and indigenous populations, then maybe that number will increase somewhat. 0.99

00:22:22.440 I know you're seeing that tongue in cheek, but I mean, the way that our country is going, the way our society is going, it's not too long.

00:22:28.260 I mean, we saw just absolutely atrocious comments from people online, for instance, after the October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel saying that resistance isn't violence or whatever violence,

00:22:40.200 that you're allowed to inflict violence, that they're not civilians because they're settlers.

00:22:44.440 And at the same time, you sit online and you'll see them throw that word around calling Canadians, white Canadians, European Canadians, settlers.

00:22:51.840 It's like, yeah, this is going in a pretty scary direction.

00:22:56.000 I want to change subjects a little here.

00:22:59.800 I've even talked to you about, you know, June used to be Pride Month.

00:23:02.880 Now it's Pride season.

00:23:03.780 So I guess it's going to last the entire summer.

00:23:05.460 I feel like things have kind of calmed down stateside, like the whole like hyper progressive Pride stuff kind of tapered, like that's over now.

00:23:15.040 And a lot of corporations are kind of backing away from it.

00:23:17.120 In Canada, it's still like full throttle, right?

00:23:19.660 And so even the progressive conservatives in Ontario were out at the Pride flags, Pride parade.

00:23:25.020 I was told they don't go to the Toronto Pride parade because it's just too crude.

00:23:28.260 So they go to the North York one, which is a little more family friendly.

00:23:30.800 But they still showed up with these inclusive Pride progress flags, right?

00:23:36.240 So it's not just the gay Pride parade anymore.

00:23:38.320 We have to also include the black and the brown chevron here is supposed to be to include people of color in Pride.

00:23:46.440 And then the trans flag is also wrapped into that as well.

00:23:51.920 I don't know.

00:23:52.180 I just cringe when I see conservative politicians catering to this stuff.

00:23:56.180 Like, I get it.

00:23:57.320 Look, like, you do you, right?

00:24:00.160 Everybody be yourself.

00:24:01.840 Do whatever you want.

00:24:02.860 But the idea that we have to, like, put someone's sexual orientation above all else.

00:24:07.760 I mean, we also had this Canadian flag.

00:24:10.020 The official social media handles for the government of Canada put out this post where they change the Canadian flag into a rainbow flag, right?

00:24:19.120 And it's like, wait, I thought that Canada was a diverse – I thought Canada believed in, like, diversity and diversity is our strength.

00:24:25.060 So why is it that the Canadian flag doesn't include gay pride and that you have to actually make it a gay pride flag?

00:24:31.220 Like, I just – to me, these people have just lost the plot and they're just so obsessed with virtue signaling and so obsessed with pushing their woke priorities onto Canadianism.

00:24:40.280 I'm just so sick of it.

00:24:41.880 What's your take on this?

00:24:43.000 Mike, there's no such thing as a progressive conservative.

00:24:46.080 It's like a jumbo shrimp, a flat mountain, a pregnant virgin. 1.00

00:24:49.560 There's only been one pregnant virgin and there won't be another one because that excuse can only be used once.

00:24:54.460 But, no, it's a paradox in terms.

00:24:56.880 It's a contradiction in terms.

00:24:57.880 And if we've seen anything, it's that the so-called conservatives out of Ontario, progressive conservatives are – they're not even liberals going the speed limit anymore.

00:25:07.420 They're just liberals in disguise.

00:25:09.200 And it's the social pressure, the contagion of Canada where it's, like, uncool to be genuinely conservative.

00:25:16.040 Conservative means, you know, you conserve certain principles.

00:25:19.060 You have something of an anchor, a foundation.

00:25:21.500 Progressivism and liberalism is anything goes and you go with the wind and that's how it goes.

00:25:25.120 You can't be a progressive conservative because it basically means I go with the wind and have no fixed anchors, but I claim to be conserving something.

00:25:33.500 It's a desecration of the flag, period.

00:25:35.380 And I don't care who does it.

00:25:36.480 I never even like it when people splice together two different nations' flags to show allegiance or support.

00:25:41.660 It's a desecration of the flag.

00:25:43.340 And the idea that the only thing you do this for – they did it for the Ukraine flag.

00:25:47.420 They've done it now in other conflicts in the world as well.

00:25:50.180 But to transpose the Canadian flag into some trans flag, A, I believe it and call me whatever name you want, it's fundamentally child grooming. 0.98

00:26:00.680 And it's a bunch of perverts who are doing this and pushing this. 0.98

00:26:03.480 Nobody cares what your sexual orientation is. 0.99

00:26:06.480 Adults will say, you do you. 0.97

00:26:08.440 And there's a lot of heterosexual adults who are into some funky stuff that nobody gives a sweet bugger all about. 0.95

00:26:14.840 You keep it to yourself and you don't rub it to my face. 0.80

00:26:16.820 Nobody's got any problems with it.

00:26:17.920 But this is, on the one hand, grooming of children, political grooming for the next generation.

00:26:24.600 And it's become an industry.

00:26:26.180 And so once something is grassroots, yeah, gay rights, okay, fine. 0.85

00:26:29.600 Now you get gay rights and then it gets corporatized. 0.83

00:26:31.740 Then it gets governmentalized.

00:26:33.480 Then it gets corrupted.

00:26:34.400 And then it becomes an industry where you have to promote it.

00:26:36.640 And if you don't promote it, you lose political support, you lose political capital, and you lose potentially the grasp on power.

00:26:48.940 But no, it's utter insanity.

00:26:51.740 It's degeneracy and debauchery because I'm not a religious person, but I do know that pride is a sin.

00:26:56.840 And for good reason, whether you like the Bible or not, it's time-tested and true self-help book for humankind.

00:27:04.400 And we haven't changed that much in 5,000 years.

00:27:06.400 It was a sin because nobody cares about what you do behind closed doors.

00:27:10.480 Nobody cares about your superficial, trivial elements of your identity.

00:27:13.580 But it's just become normalized perversion, and it's a way of controlling the next generation.

00:27:19.220 I couldn't agree more.

00:27:20.460 I mean, to me, like, I'll give you an example.

00:27:23.460 My husband and I went to go look at the local private school, considering maybe putting our kids into private school.

00:27:28.900 I wouldn't put them in public school at this point.

00:27:31.200 And literally, they had a pride flag hanging from the school.

00:27:33.520 And to me, it's like, in what world is a sexual flag appropriate at an elementary school?

00:27:41.320 These are little kids.

00:27:42.280 My son is six, right?

00:27:43.900 Little kids.

00:27:44.740 Like, in what world is that appropriate other than exactly what you said, grooming. 0.98

00:27:48.420 Grooming these kids to say, like, it's okay to be gay. 1.00

00:27:51.320 You're gay. 1.00

00:27:52.160 Being gay is great. 0.99

00:27:53.200 Promoting it, basically, for that generation. 0.94

00:27:56.560 And again, I find it, like, cringy and embarrassing, right?

00:28:00.580 Like, we talked about this earlier in the month that Air Canada put out this video of the first all-gay flight.

00:28:05.760 And I'm watching this video, and I'm thinking, like, what do these people have in common? 0.86

00:28:09.940 Other than just the fact that they're, like, who they like to have sex with, basically. 0.64

00:28:14.700 And it's like, that's not my business, right?

00:28:16.520 I don't care.

00:28:17.360 I'm getting on an airplane with my family.

00:28:19.400 I want to get there on time.

00:28:20.820 I want everyone to be safe.

00:28:22.100 That is all I care about.

00:28:23.080 I do not care about what happens in your bedroom with you and your partner.

00:28:28.040 Like, that's just totally irrelevant to me.

00:28:29.980 And it's embarrassing.

00:28:30.960 I don't want to talk to my children about it.

00:28:32.280 I want to tell them about this.

00:28:33.480 Like, I don't, I'm not going to ask questions about your sex life.

00:28:36.720 Please don't ask me.

00:28:37.660 Like, how about we just carry on in society, be united by the things that unite us, like our shared values, and stop obsessing over people's sexuality.

00:28:47.080 I want to tie this to a new report that the census in Canada will now be asking questions about sexual orientation.

00:28:54.240 This came out on Wednesday, June 25th.

00:28:56.060 So the 2026 long-form census will, for the first time ever, ask Canadians over the age of 15 about their sexual orientation, building on a decision to include questions about sex at birth, what, and gender in the 2021 survey, sex at birth.

00:29:11.280 So I guess that just means that you're sex, you can change it if you want. 0.51

00:29:14.320 Okay.

00:29:14.880 Anyway, the question on the census asks, what is the person's sexual orientation?

00:29:21.440 And it gives examples to describe yourself.

00:29:24.220 You could describe yourself as heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, or you can specify something different.

00:29:32.460 So this is Canada now for the 2026 census.

00:29:35.700 Candace, the last time I was, it was a summer ago, maybe last summer or a little bit earlier, I went back to Canada for the summer and there was a, it's an all-girls school, flying a trans flag out their window. 0.99

00:29:46.960 And I'm like, they don't understand how stupid this is. 0.97

00:29:50.420 They're flying the trans flag, you know, the one with the triangle, the whole, all the colors of the rainbow, over an all-girls school. 1.00

00:29:56.860 And they don't understand the irony in this.

00:29:59.320 The second thing that you were mentioning there.

00:30:01.500 Well, just for that point, one of the private schools in Toronto, the all-girls school, they put out a gender report talking about girls in middle school.

00:30:10.280 And part of it, they were bragging about the number of girls at their school that identify as LGB, whatever.

00:30:16.780 And trans, it was like only like, it was something like 92% of our students identify as women.

00:30:22.280 It's like, well, why are those other 8% at your school if it's an all-girls school?

00:30:26.100 Like it was, it's just that.

00:30:27.540 It's another contradiction in terms, but can you imagine the disgusting perversion of adults having these discussions with kids?

00:30:33.920 With kids who are not their own.

00:30:35.640 It is perversion of the highest order.

00:30:38.740 And that Air Canada flight that was all, the first, all 2SLGBTQIA+. 1.00

00:30:44.380 First of all, so you're basically telling me you discriminated against the heterosexual guy or girl?

00:30:50.240 Like, that seems unlawful to me.

00:30:52.840 And B, someone says that they're 2S or the L or the G, the B, TQ.

00:30:56.800 How do you, is there a test?

00:30:58.300 Do they have to like, is there a casting couch to get onto this airplane? 0.51

00:31:01.160 All of these questions and how you evidence them are absolute disgusting, degenerate, well, let's say degeneracy.

00:31:07.140 Among consenting adults, it's fine.

00:31:09.000 It has no place in the workforce.

00:31:10.560 And then you bring kids into this and somebody who's, it's not controversial.

00:31:15.500 Maybe it is, I don't know.

00:31:16.420 Any adult who has these discussions with children who are not their own gets off on it. 0.65

00:31:20.780 And it is a form of disgusting degeneracy perversion that an adult gets a kick out of having sexual and sexualized discussions with minors.

00:31:30.680 And, you know, there is a word for that. 0.87

00:31:32.820 Prepubescent minors.

00:31:33.520 There's a specific word for that.

00:31:34.900 That's what it is.

00:31:35.760 And anybody pretending it's otherwise is a lying to themselves.

00:31:38.400 Although there's some, probably some, you know, group that's going along with it just because it's the virtuous thing to do.

00:31:42.400 And this is tolerant society now to talk to children about sex and sexual orientation and not reproduction.

00:31:47.980 So I've gotten increasingly frustrated with the increasing extremism of these very active groups.

00:31:56.900 I think they represent a very vocal minority.

00:31:59.280 But my goodness, when you start seeing trans flags being flown over private all-girl elementary schools, Houston, we've got a problem.

00:32:08.540 Unbelievable.

00:32:09.340 You know, Viva, I wish you'd move back to Canada because we need more sensible people like you in our country. 0.86

00:32:14.600 I feel like sometimes when I'm talking about this issue, I feel like everybody else just accepts it and kind of moves on and chucks their shoulders.

00:32:21.440 Like other moms I talk to at school, they're just kind of like, oh, it's not that bad at our school or whatever.

00:32:25.680 It's like not that bad.

00:32:27.420 I mean, it shouldn't exist at all.

00:32:28.900 Like we shouldn't be talking about sex at all to children.

00:32:30.980 How is that even controversial?

00:32:32.460 Like zero, none.

00:32:33.960 But it's not sex for the purposes of understanding how reproduction works. 0.51

00:32:38.580 It's about sex and sexual preferences for pure hedonistic pleasures.

00:32:43.840 It makes no sense.

00:32:45.100 And the problem is I've had these, I say that Canada sort of pushed me out.

00:32:48.800 There's not, unfortunately, I discovered even in my own milieu, there's too many people who think I'm the radical in this.

00:32:54.520 And I was having a discussion with someone like, yeah, what's wrong with giving kids puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy?

00:32:58.820 I was like, you're cool with it until it's your kid.

00:33:01.240 And everybody's cool with it so long as it's someone else's kid.

00:33:03.500 And some people are cool with it if it's their kid.

00:33:05.440 I think that's sort of gender dysphoria by proxy.

00:33:08.120 But everyone's cool with it because it shows their virtue signaling tolerance of perversion until it's their kid.

00:33:15.160 And they're like, yeah, maybe I don't really want to give my kid something that's going to mess up his or her body for the rest of their lives.

00:33:20.280 But the problem is Canada's in an effing insane asylum silo. 0.60

00:33:25.640 It's controlled by the, I mean, it's affected by the control of the media and that you don't have as many, I don't even say dissenting voices.

00:33:32.540 You don't have as many voices of reason that get the same airtime as you have in America.

00:33:37.460 And, you know, it's CBC, CTV, Global News, and everybody views your network and Rebel News as radicals.

00:33:46.260 And so it's just, I've never fully appreciated how incorrigibly and irreparably indoctrinated Canada is as a nation.

00:33:54.440 And I think it might be the most propagandized nation, maybe even more so than North Korea, because at least there they know that they're being propagandized. 0.64

00:34:00.860 Canadians don't even seem to realize it.

00:34:02.240 No, they think they're well-educated and they're up on their high horse thinking that they're superior to others.

00:34:07.480 At least they're not American. 1.00

00:34:08.700 Not the people watching Juno News, of course, but the people who get their news from CBC.

00:34:13.920 I know too many of them.

00:34:14.820 Okay, I've got one more topic for you, but we're going to cut off the YouTube and the X live stream.
