Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you
00:00:06.920
today, folks. I just want to tell you, though, I'm pretty optimistic about the future. I think
00:00:11.280
you kind of have to be, right? I have four kids. In order to have four kids, you have to believe
00:00:14.660
that there is a future for the country. And in order to start a business, I recently launched
00:00:19.080
Juno News with my co-founder and friend, Kian Bextie. And I think in order to do those kind
00:00:23.200
of things, you have to generally be optimistic for the country, for the future, Canada's future.
00:00:27.860
I'm not one of those people who thinks that the country is finished and that there won't
00:00:31.280
be a Canada in a few years or a few decades. However, I think that that optimism is sometimes
00:00:38.060
challenged by the political orthodoxy in Canada, right? When you go out there and you talk to
00:00:43.120
your friends, your family, everyday people, you realize that the pendulum has swung away
00:00:47.820
from the worst excesses of the woke ideology. It was like it kind of peaked in 2022, maybe
00:00:53.120
23, and then it started to swing back. Actually, it started to swing back right around the time
00:00:56.920
of the trucker convoy, so a little hat tip to those brave people who challenged the Trudeau
00:01:02.380
government and helped bring them down. But that common sense, that swinging of the pendulum
00:01:07.680
back to common sense, it doesn't seem like it has reached the tops of our institutions,
00:01:12.520
the sort of elite opinion makers and leaders of various institutions. They still seem to be
00:01:17.860
very captured by the woke ideology and the insanity of it. So sometimes when you're scrolling
00:01:23.020
social media, when you're reading through Juno news, you just have to stop and shake your head
00:01:27.960
at how totally deranged some of the news stories out there are. I'll start with Melanie Bennett from
00:01:33.700
True North had an unbelievable exclusive report this week, we're going to talk about it more in depth
00:01:37.960
a little later on. But just the overview, exclusive, new ethics code tells nurses to denounce
00:01:44.520
white European medicine. Yes, Canadian nurses have to denounce white European medicine as somehow being
00:01:52.820
racist or somehow being wrong. Regulated Canadian nurses are required to align their conduct with a
00:01:58.640
detailed set of political values among them, social justice, gender ideology, indigenous ways of knowing,
00:02:03.660
and climate activism. The exact topics that I'm saying that the pendulum has swung back towards
00:02:09.120
common sense back towards being normal on. And yet nurses in this country are being made to sworn
00:02:15.200
allegiance to the most insane woke ideas. And it's not just that story. I think a big driver of this
00:02:20.680
folks is the state broadcaster and the CBC. They seem to be just digging in their heels and doubling down
00:02:27.200
on the woke insanity. Here's another story we're going to talk about. CBC pushes for boys in girls sports.
00:02:33.880
The headline there says, girls softball was an inclusive sport in Alberta for this teen. The new,
00:02:39.720
a new law could end that. And so somehow that mean premier Danielle Smith, how dare she stop this boy,
00:02:47.480
this biological boy from being able to play competitive sports against girls, right? It's
00:02:53.320
completely backwards. It's completely upside down. And even when you read that story, it's like so
00:02:58.120
confusing. It's written in such a weird language that just makes you not really even understand the
00:03:03.880
facts of the story, but it's written in the woke ideological language that doesn't really make a lot
00:03:10.760
of sense. Next story I want to talk about is going to be Parks Canada, which has revoked the permit for
00:03:16.760
a Christian musicians concert. Permit revoked for a mega musicians concert at Parks Canada. What makes him
00:03:25.160
MAGA again? Oh, he's a Christian from the United States and therefore he must have MAGA views and we
00:03:30.680
have to be scared of him. And you can't even play a song and play a concert in Canada unless you have
00:03:35.320
the approved views apparently of the woke leftist elites. It is so unbelievable. Final one here.
00:03:41.960
This is just so ridiculous. It's like group think run amok. A man was removed from a WestJet flight
00:03:49.000
for wearing a Trudeau blackface shirt. So that's an exclusive from us at the Juno
00:03:55.160
News. A man was wearing a blackface shirt making fun of our idiot former prime minister. And
00:04:00.360
apparently that's what, like hate speech? You're not allowed to have freedom expression in Canada.
00:04:04.520
I don't think that these are mainstream values. I think that these are extreme, insane, deranged values
00:04:09.960
that just happen to be held by a handful of people who have too much power and too much control in our
00:04:15.560
country. And that's why part of what we do is exposing these people and showing everybody else just how
00:04:21.800
totally insane they are, hopefully to pressure them to stop being so totally insane. And I'm
00:04:26.920
excited to have a new guest. I'm sure I've never had her on before, but she's one of the culture
00:04:31.320
warriors that is helping in our movement to push back against these woke excesses. I'm talking about
00:04:36.920
Amy Eileen Han. She's a registered nurse, a freelance writer and activist, and she has an interesting story
00:04:42.920
of her own cancellation. So Amy, welcome to the podcast. Great to have you join our show.
00:04:47.880
Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to be here. Well, okay, so I'm reading your bio and I
00:04:53.400
have this story from the JCCF in front of me, nurse files complaint against the Vancouver Coastal Health,
00:04:58.680
BC colleges of nurses and midwives for political discrimination. So Amy, for folks who might not
00:05:05.240
be up to speed and aware of your background, your work, why don't you tell us your story and how you
00:05:10.360
ended up here? Sure. I've been engaged in lawfare now for almost five years related to my advocacy
00:05:17.800
for women's sex-based rights and for free speech. So this is something that I was writing about and
00:05:23.480
talking about outside of work for my day job as a registered nurse. Gender activists were very angry
00:05:31.640
with what I was doing. They started complaining to my regulator and to my employer. This was back in 2020
00:05:38.680
when I, it started after I was involved in putting up an iHeart JK Rowling billboard in Vancouver.
00:05:44.760
That's when the complaint started. It never stopped and I was put under investigation. I ended up going
00:05:51.000
through a 22-day disciplinary hearing. I was found guilty of unprofessional conduct, basically for
00:05:59.960
saying that males can't become females and that trans women are biological males. After I was found
00:06:05.640
guilty, I was fired from my job of 13 years with Vancouver Coastal Health, also over my political views
00:06:12.760
that were only expressed outside of work. And so like you mentioned the JCCF article, the Justice
00:06:19.000
Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has been representing me this whole time. And so we have an appeal of my
00:06:25.640
guilty verdict with the BC College of Nurses. And we've also launched two human rights tribunal complaints,
00:06:32.520
one against Vancouver Coastal Health and one against the College of Nurses on the basis of discrimination for
00:06:38.600
political belief. Investing is all about the future. So what do you think is going to happen?
00:06:44.040
Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point. I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:06:49.160
I hope we don't go cashless. I would say land is a safe investment. Technology companies. Solar energy.
00:06:55.800
Robotic pollinators might be a thing. A wrestler to face a robot. That will have to happen.
00:07:01.560
So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple. Start
00:07:07.960
now at Wealthsimple.com. It's one of those funny things that if you're on the political left, you
00:07:13.080
can be as political as you want and you can wear crazy buttons and you can put up signs at work and
00:07:17.640
I've seen them at healthcare facilities in Canada. Openly very politicized slogans from the left. But if you
00:07:25.800
have mild, not even like right political opinions, but just non-woke, like you could even be on the
00:07:31.800
political left, but you're just not fully on board with all of their orthodoxy, you get reprimanded. And
00:07:37.160
it always reminds me like, you know, the liberals in the left, they love to say diversity is our strength
00:07:41.320
and like they love to like tout diversity. But when it comes to like any form of intellectual diversity,
00:07:46.600
they just absolutely hate it. Or even heck, like what's the problem with having a Christian rock singer
00:07:51.480
go play at a park in Nova Scotia? If people like his music, they want to pay for him. Great. Like,
00:07:55.640
we are a free society. And yet, because of like some innocuous social media posts that he put
00:08:00.520
that showed some support towards President Trump, he's not allowed in Canada. Like,
00:08:04.840
how is Canada even a free country at this point?
00:08:08.200
It's very concerning the the utter lack of respect that Canadians seem to have for our
00:08:13.800
Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They don't seem to understand that if you don't constantly remain
00:08:18.600
vigilant and fight for our rights, including our right to free expression, that these,
00:08:22.920
you know, our society can very quickly turn on a dark path. And it's worrying that that is where
00:08:29.000
Canada is going. And this cancelled concert, well, it was cancelled at a Parks Canada site. And
00:08:36.520
apparently, it's rebooked in rural Nova Scotia at another site. But it's, it's very bizarre. You know,
00:08:41.960
nobody was forcing anybody, any Nova Scotian to attend this concert with a Christian rock musician.
00:08:50.920
And yet the level of hysteria that people showed just for the fact that he was going to show up and
00:08:55.880
sing some songs was just off, off the charts. It's frankly embarrassing to be Canadian when you see
00:09:03.640
Well, it's totally right. It's totally in contradiction to our Charter and to the values
00:09:08.600
that they proclaim they believe. So CBC's reporting permit revoked for MAGA musicians,
00:09:13.640
Concert Parks Canada sites, Park Canada says a US singer and rising star in the MAGA movement will
00:09:18.360
not perform at a national historic site near Halifax. After the federal agency revoked the
00:09:24.200
organisers permit, Christian rocker Sean Feucht was scheduled to play a concert on Wednesday night
00:09:30.440
at the York Redoubt National Historic Site, a fortification constructed in 1793. Feucht,
00:09:36.760
who unsuccessfully ran for the US Congress as a Republican 2020, is also a missionary,
00:09:40.920
an author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ plus community, abortion rights,
00:09:46.840
and critical race theory on his website. So you cannot have the wrong views. And if you do,
00:09:52.520
you cannot play Christian music. Well, Feucht was defiant and he put out a video saying,
00:09:57.640
you know what, we're still going to play. We're rising up and we're going to rise above this. And
00:10:02.040
there he is. I won't play it because it's got some loud music in the background. But he's saying,
00:10:07.160
you know, he's got a happy optimistic message and saying, you know, they're trying to stop us.
00:10:10.600
They don't want Christians. They don't like our values. But that's the opportunity for us to,
00:10:16.040
you know, show up even louder and prouder and continue. So I salute his spirit. And I think that
00:10:21.320
it's great that he's going to continue to push off. But I completely echo your sentiment that it's
00:10:25.720
embarrassing for Canada. And I saw that you had a piece about this in the National Post,
00:10:31.000
no MAGA beliefs allowed at Parks Canada historic site. Could you just imagine if they were
00:10:36.280
politicizing this the other way around? Like if Pierre Polyev was prime minister and he said,
00:10:40.680
oh, sorry, you can't have like an LGBT band play. Like, I mean, it would be outrageous. And I would
00:10:45.400
oppose that. But of course, people on the left just don't seem to care that they're actually like,
00:10:50.280
like nodding along, saying like, yeah, good, we shouldn't have any mega singers allowed in Canada.
00:10:55.960
It's wild. And even the the Liberal Member of Parliament for Nova Scotia, I'm drawing a blank
00:11:02.680
on her name, but she was emailing constituents who were complaining about this concert and an email
00:11:09.480
that was shown to the CBC where she was saying, you know, oh, I do. I stand up for free speech. But,
00:11:16.840
you know, there's diversity, equity, inclusion, and this needs to be upheld at Parks Canada sites.
00:11:23.080
So I don't think this woman understands what she's saying when she uses the words free speech, because,
00:11:29.560
you know, that that includes that you need to be listening to people even if you don't like
00:11:34.440
what they're going to say or if you think you're not going to like what they're going to say. That's
00:11:37.960
a very basic principle of free speech is that you might be offended. And that's kind of the point.
00:11:43.400
Right. And also just the idea of diversity. Like if you want true diversity, you have to have people
00:11:49.080
that you don't necessarily like or agree with. Like, you know, you said that his music is not
00:11:53.480
necessarily your cup of tea. I'm not personally into Christian rock, but I think it's great that
00:11:57.960
he goes out there and does that and inspires people. And I don't understand why that is upsetting to
00:12:02.760
anyone else. I do want to get your take on Melanie Bennett's exclusive over at True North this week
00:12:08.120
about how Europeans are now forced to denounce white European medicine, which is the height of
00:12:14.040
irony here. It's like, hello, Canada practices Western medicine. Western medicine is based in
00:12:20.200
large part on white European history and the history of medicine on the West. Right. And so this idea that
00:12:26.840
we are kind of going back on that making nurses swear allegiance to woke ideology. And I mean, I can read
00:12:33.960
from it. It's just as outrageous as you would imagine. Nurses are now required to acknowledge the
00:12:38.600
historical and continuous impact that white European centric models of nursing and health have had
00:12:44.760
on the perpetuation of anti-indigenous racism, anti-black racism, and other types of racism under
00:12:51.080
the code. Nurses must reflect on their professional power and privilege and to structure their practice
00:12:57.400
around anti-racism, allyship and culturally safe care. I mean, I'm sorry, I'm just so sick of this stuff.
00:13:06.280
And it reads like satire to me. It's so silly and ridiculous. And yet here it is, right? It's like, this
00:13:12.280
is somehow so mainstream in some Canadian circles that they feel comfortable imposing it on all nurses. I'm
00:13:20.600
wondering if I get your thoughts on this. And also as someone who has been a nurse, practicing nurse for over a
00:13:25.160
decade, like, are these views commonly held by like the kind of rank and file nurses across the country? Or is this
00:13:31.800
something that's like very concentrated amongst like an elite few?
00:13:36.280
Yeah, well, I would start by saying I'm proud to say that in 13 years of nursing up until I was fired this March by
00:13:44.120
Vancouver Coastal Health, I have never seen a colleague racist towards a patient or another staff member. I've never
00:13:52.520
seen racism in our healthcare system. So it's wild to hear this constant rhetoric from the Canadian
00:13:59.480
Nurses Association or the College of Nurses or even employers that are calling themselves systemically
00:14:04.440
racist. Because I don't see it. And I also just wonder if someone actually believes that they are
00:14:11.320
working in a systemically racist system, that they are part of that system, then maybe you should leave
00:14:18.120
the system because just endlessly talking about it and making a new ethics code without actually
00:14:23.720
offering any solutions or pointing out concrete examples of racism is not doing anything to solve
00:14:29.960
the problem that you're claiming exists. It's very similar to a land acknowledgement where you say
00:14:35.800
that you're on stolen land, but you make no effort to give anything back to the people that you allegedly
00:14:42.440
stole from. In terms of how many people believe in this stuff on the on the front lines, most people
00:14:50.680
don't. It's, it's a minority, I would, you know, it's probably the same as you'd see in, in the regular
00:14:57.720
Canadian population where 80% or more of people think that it's ridiculous. But there's a huge culture of
00:15:04.840
fear in speaking out within the health authorities. Because people see what happens to someone like me
00:15:12.280
who does speak out and who, even while they're not at work, even someone who speaks out in their own
00:15:18.520
time in their private life and says, you know, I disagree with gender ideology, or I disagree with
00:15:23.160
progressive politics because of this or that, you will be targeted with a smear campaign, you can,
00:15:30.040
you can be subject to investigations, you can be fired. So I know that most nurses don't believe
00:15:37.880
in this stuff. But nobody is going to be speaking out while we are still in this sort of cancel culture
00:15:50.120
arena that you described where, you know, at large, Canada seems to have changed, and we're moving on
00:15:54.920
from this. But in our institutions, it's alive and well. It's, it's interesting how they're kind of
00:16:00.360
the last ones clinging to power. And I will blame the CBC for a lot of that. But you had an interesting
00:16:04.760
piece in the National Post last weekend, where you said that Trudeau may be gone, but the gender
00:16:10.120
craziness continues. And you know that unlike his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister Mark
00:16:15.160
Carney isn't known for making flamboyant declarations of allyship. But don't be deceived,
00:16:20.280
our national field T2 gender ideology continues the same as it was during the Trudeau years. Canada is
00:16:26.600
no less woke under Carney. That's such an interesting observation, because it kind of felt,
00:16:33.720
again, like it feels like we've moved on from that moment, and that the pendulum has swung,
00:16:37.720
and that you could tell during the election campaign, Mark Carney was really trying to tone down
00:16:41.880
a lot of the woke stuff. And even his answer to Judo News's question about how many genders are
00:16:46.120
are right, like he said to, which I didn't expect that, but I applaud him for at least acknowledging
00:16:51.800
reality. And yet, you know, nothing has changed behind the scenes. And when Juden came around,
00:16:57.640
it was still Pride season, and we still got the same stuff shoved down our throats. And you had a
00:17:02.120
couple of crazy examples that you talked about. Jonathan Yaniv, who I guess is now being known as
00:17:10.760
Jessica Simpson, who, you know, became infamous for what was he suing aestheticians for not
00:17:17.400
waxing his male genitalia, he ended up losing those ones. Well, he's back now, he wants to participate
00:17:22.200
in beauty pageants for little girls. And then you had a couple of other examples. So why don't you walk
00:17:28.120
us through your thoughts? Sure. So another example, you know, we don't have a prime minister that's
00:17:35.720
marching around and having fun with drag queens at the Pride Parade anymore. But we still have
00:17:42.040
every day in Canada, incarcerated women that are locked up with male rapists, including Tara D'Souza,
00:17:48.520
who is at the Fraser Valley Institute for Women in Abbotsford, BC. This is a male who was previously
00:17:56.520
known as Adam Laboucan. And he raped a three month old infant that required reconstructive surgery.
00:18:05.640
He drowned a toddler. So this is a murdering pedophile. He was, as I said, Canada's youngest
00:18:12.920
dangerous offender at one point, went to prison, started to identify as a female, and now for years
00:18:18.840
has been housed in a women's prison. And not only is it just a regular women's prison, it's a women's
00:18:24.760
prison that has a mother baby program. So there are incarcerated women living there with their
00:18:31.080
babies and toddlers. And we have a murdering child rapist housed with those women, terrorizing those
00:18:39.320
women every single day in Canada. So, you know, if Trudeau is gone, we're not seeing the same ridiculous
00:18:46.680
displays of fealty to gender ideology by our prime minister in public. It feels different on the surface,
00:18:53.240
but nothing has changed again because our institutions are still captured by this ideology.
00:18:58.280
There's a lot of fighting that still needs to be done to change this because it's sick and wrong, frankly.
00:19:04.440
Unbelievable. Sick is an understatement. I want to talk about the CBC story that I mentioned
00:19:09.720
off the top because I do think CBC is such a large part of this problem in perpetuating pushing this
00:19:14.840
ideology that frankly doesn't really make sense. I know this is an important topic
00:19:18.200
to you, Amy, but this story about a girls softball player who wanted to play on the girls team and has
00:19:25.400
as a child, but then now he's 15 and it's like, you know, reality is hitting. I just want to read from
00:19:30.920
the story because you'll get the idea of like how the CBC plays a role in this kind of thing. So here it
00:19:36.600
goes. Riley Simpson has been playing softball since they were nine years old. They fell in love with the
00:19:41.960
sport after watching their older sister play. So they there refers to a single person who's a boy,
00:19:47.640
but they go by they, I guess. Okay. In June, their softball team won the Edmonton city championship
00:19:53.080
and Riley was hoping to play on a higher level team as they grew and got better in Alberta,
00:19:57.640
where Riley is from most competitive softball teams are girls teams. This has never been a problem
00:20:02.120
for Riley who recently turned 15 years old and is non-binary thanks to inclusive sporting policies,
00:20:07.880
a co-ed mentality in softball and pre-puberty androgyny. But the provincial government has
00:20:13.560
enacted a controversial new law excluding athletes assigned male at birth from women's sports team
00:20:19.880
known as bill 29, the fairness and safety in sport act, which goes into effect on September 1st.
00:20:26.200
Athletes not assigned female at birth will have to leave any girls sports teams belonging to any school
00:20:32.120
collegiate or provincial amateur competition level or play in boys co-ed divisions. Some say that
00:20:39.080
unfairly targets young athletes in amateur leagues. Okay. So there's like a lot of ideologically loaded
00:20:46.280
language in there. Even just this idea that you are assigned male at birth or assigned female at birth
00:20:52.280
and using they it's like, I feel sorry for this individual, right? Because he lives in a world where
00:20:57.480
everyone around him like sugarcoats everything and plays along and has like done everything they can
00:21:03.880
to make him feel safe. Even though what he's doing is wrong, right? It's like you're a little boy and you
00:21:09.400
should play sports with boys. I say this as a girl who played sports growing up. I was really competitive.
00:21:14.840
I love sports. I'll tell the story. I've told the audience many times. I played hockey. I loved hockey.
00:21:19.400
I was a delusional little girl and I wanted to play with the boys and I was good enough to as a young child.
00:21:24.200
And as I got older, specifically around puberty, it was no longer safe for me to play on the boys team.
00:21:28.600
So I moved over to the girls team. It wasn't as competitive. It wasn't as fun. I was bummed out about it.
00:21:32.520
But then I grew up and I got over it, right? And I can't imagine how it would have gone had I been surrounded
00:21:37.960
by adults who were like feeding my delusion and saying, oh, it's okay, Candace. Like you can play with the boys.
00:21:43.640
It's like, no, it's not safe and it's not fair. And the reason that we have girls leagues is so that girls can
00:21:48.680
safely play in sports, right? So this boy should not be playing on this league, right? But then, you know, we
00:21:53.960
and later in the CBC story, we get to meet the activist mother who's like pushing this child
00:21:59.240
along. And it's like, it's just at the end of the day, it's such a tragedy, right? Because I do feel
00:22:03.960
sorry for this boy who's obviously deeply confused. And the CBC language just plays along like it makes
00:22:09.880
it confusing, right? It's like they don't call him a boy, they call him a trans girl, which makes you
00:22:13.720
think it's a girl, but it's not, right? And the they language and the sign, it's just a signed male at
00:22:20.920
birth. Like, what are you talking about? Right? Like he was born a boy, right? And anyway, this
00:22:27.080
this entire like way that we talk about this needs to change. And I really applaud Premier
00:22:32.760
Daniel Smith for being the first leading the way and saying, look, we're just going to do what's
00:22:38.200
right here. And she's withstanding this crazy media attack that happens against her. So I'm just
00:22:45.000
wondering your thoughts on this whole story. Yeah, you know, journalists have they have a duty to
00:22:50.840
tell the truth to speak the truth and to say it in a way that is clear and comprehensible
00:22:56.360
to their audience and to the public. And the CBC saying they they they when they're the reason that
00:23:04.200
they're doing that is because they don't want to say he him, it's a boy. And that's a lie. And
00:23:09.560
ultimately, what they're doing is they're prioritizing the feelings of this confused male,
00:23:15.720
who I think has been led down a garden path by his mother clearly, and who I do feel sorry for,
00:23:21.560
I feel sorry that this youth is feeling excluded, and has been lied to. But he's not being excluded,
00:23:28.200
he can play on the boys team where he belongs, because his feelings don't trump the safety of the
00:23:34.440
girls and fairness for the girls who shouldn't be competing with males. So it's just it's so mind
00:23:40.520
bending to see this language, the assigned male at birth assigned female at birth, using they instead
00:23:48.920
of using accurate pronouns. People, you know, it was 10 years ago, this would have confused everyone.
00:23:56.360
Now, you know, a lot of people are still confused by this language. And sometimes even when I'm speaking
00:24:01.320
to people about this, you have to stop. And then when you say, use a term, you have to say,
00:24:07.160
what I mean by that is male or female. So everybody knows what the words actually mean. And when you use
00:24:14.200
these, these woke, ideologically based phrases, a lot of people don't, they're not versed in that. And
00:24:21.080
the purpose of doing that is basically to obfuscate the truth to lie to people to make see make things
00:24:28.040
seem a way that they're not like, in this case, to make it seem like it's grossly unfair and that this
00:24:34.120
young boy is being discriminated against when the reality is that it's actually the young girls that
00:24:39.320
are being discriminated against. They're not allowed to have a fair playing field or safe sports anymore. So
00:24:46.760
it's, oh, it makes me so infuriated. And the CBC just, you know, they, uh, it's, um, I don't know.
00:24:56.360
I don't have good things to say about the CBC. I won't say it on your show.
00:24:59.880
Well, it's, it's funny. Actually, I'm just thinking like, oh, we might have to bleep part
00:25:02.920
of this out for YouTube. Cause they'll probably demonetize us if we're talking about it. I totally
00:25:06.280
forgot that we usually put this behind a paywall, but like, it's true. Like this idea that you're assigned
00:25:11.240
male at birth, like who uses those terms? Like I, the, the only time they ever use this for like a slot,
00:25:15.880
very small, silver people who are deluded and thinking that they're part of the other sex.
00:25:19.800
And otherwise it's like, no, you're, you're born one sex or the other. And that's how it's been for
00:25:25.800
all of history. And like everyone it's, it's, it's, it's just, you're right. They, they purposefully
00:25:32.360
try to confuse people, um, to like shame them out of like holding the views that everyone held in all
00:25:39.400
of society up until like five minutes ago. Uh, I want to talk about the final story here with you,
00:25:43.960
Amy, which is that it's Air Canada. I apologize to our friends who were at WestJet, WestJet wouldn't
00:25:48.360
do this, but Air Canada did. Air Canada removes passenger for wearing an anti-Trudeau shirt. It's
00:25:53.320
an exclusive from Juno news. So a Nova Scotia man was removed from Air Canada flight for wearing a
00:25:59.320
t-shirt that featured an image of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in blackface,
00:26:03.000
which the cabin crew found to be offensive. So Daniel Greaves 62 was sitting in a seat on a plane
00:26:08.200
bound from Edmonton to Vancouver on July 8th, waiting for the aircraft to leave when he was first
00:26:12.680
notified of the problem regarding his clothing. The flight attendant told him that his t-shirt was
00:26:17.400
not up to the airline's dress code. Um, I'm sorry, has anyone flown recently? Like since when do airlines
00:26:23.640
have dress codes? Like people are wearing their pajamas, people are wearing short shorts on the
00:26:28.920
airplane. I sat next to a woman that I swear was just wearing a sports bra. Like there's no dress code
00:26:34.040
on airplanes anymore. Right. And so this idea that you can't make it wear a shirt, making fun of our
00:26:40.840
foolish former prime minister is it goes with the theme of the show, Amy, which is that we don't
00:26:46.680
really have a free speech or free expression in Canada. What do you think? No, that's, that is
00:26:52.680
wild. And it's true. Like decades ago, we used to, when we went on airplanes, we had to put on our dress
00:26:57.800
shoes and a blazer and some dress pants. And you're right now people wear yoga attire, Lululemons, pajamas.
00:27:05.720
So it's pretty funny that if they're selectively applying the dress code, um, suddenly for this one
00:27:12.040
t-shirt that happens to have Justin Trudeau wearing blackface and it kind of just makes me wonder what
00:27:16.920
would they actually do? Let's say Justin Trudeau showed up for a flight in blackface, would they,
00:27:22.600
would they allow him on the flight? Who knows? Well, it did seem like he had, there was a different
00:27:27.560
standard for Justin Trudeau than there was for like the whole rest of society because Megan Kelly got
00:27:32.440
canceled from her show on NBC for just saying that she didn't find blackface particularly offensive.
00:27:38.040
She got fired for that. And then like a few weeks later, Justin Trudeau was wearing it and no
00:27:42.920
punishment, um, for him. But that's, it's funny how these standards are not applied evenly. And if you
00:27:48.600
are conservative in any way, shape or form, you'll bear a greater, um, brunt of this, but it, it, it, it's
00:27:54.920
one of those things that again, like just when you think that we have gotten away from the crazy
00:28:02.440
craziness of these speech codes and these, you know, strict rules, like, you know, people,
00:28:07.480
people used to get kicked off flights for refusing to wear a mask. Right. And it's like, what now,
00:28:11.400
what you get kicked off the fight for wearing a shirt that makes fun of a liberal. Like you're
00:28:15.560
not allowed to do that anymore. It's, it's disappointing. It is disappointing. And I laugh
00:28:20.680
because it is, that's, you know, it's kind of a funny story, but ultimately it's not funny. Like any of
00:28:25.640
these stories it's, it's deeply disturbing it. I think that, um, Canadians need to really think long and
00:28:32.120
hard about, um, about what, what direction our country is headed in. If more of us don't start
00:28:39.160
taking our rights and freedom seriously, and don't start standing up when we see these sorts of
00:28:44.280
injustices, um, playing out every day. Um, it is, it's easy to joke about it, but it's, um,
00:28:51.000
it really isn't a laughing matter when we consider what Canada might become if we don't stop this.
00:28:57.080
100%. Well, that is Amy Eileen Han. You can find her in the national post among other places. Amy,
00:29:02.600

00:29:10.040
be back again tomorrow. I'm Candace Malcolm's Candace Malcolm show. Thank you and God bless.
