On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by The National Telegraph founder Wyatt Claypool to discuss the English-language leaders debate.
I agree with Candice that Carney came across as very low energy. I'm not sure he's fundamentally interested in the job.
When he was given the opportunity at the end of the debate to ask any candidate a question, you will recall that he he first said, "I'm going to ask myself a question." If he were alone in front of a mirror, I wonder what that question would have been. Would it have been, "Why am I up here getting kicked around in this political theatre, when I could be back in London or in Ireland or in New York, shifting other people's assets around the world and making buckets of money in the process?"
Then he paused and started the preamble to a question and the moderator had to ask him, "Who's it to?" And then, as if he were fatigued with the whole exercise, "I'm going to ask a question of Mr. Poilievre" and, shrugging, "Why not?"
The man is only peripherally engaged. He's been contracted to do a job for the Liberal Party - to try to drag their sorry arses over the finish line so they can have another four years at the trough. Whether he wins the election or not, the Liberal party will be indebted to him (and Donald Trump) if he can somehow help the Liberals cling to some seats in the Maritimes, Montreal, the GTA and Vancouver. If he is not confirmed as Prime Minister, he won't linger to engage in the rough and tumble of politics. Rather he'll be off to a cozy sinecure in a warmer part of the world as fast as you can say "Bermuda tax haven."
It's as if Mark Carney was riffing off a 1957 song "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter" which on the debate stage last night became "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Ask Myself a Question" - | Maybe a question like "How do I like my suit?" A: "I like it very much." Q: How do I like my haircut?" A: "It's very European."
The first couple of minutes says it all.. once you know that Desiree Fixler was a top investment banker at DeutcheBank and JP Morgan, in charge of trillion dollar funds-just like Carney.
She knows Carney well having worked in the exact same circles, and at the WEF.
She points out the "Enviro crisis" is a manufactured crisis to enable huge profits
She says electing Carney will result in a disaster for Canada.
It was a hands down no contest to any thinking person who wasn't suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, or had been so propagandized by the CBC about Poilievre being some mean right wing ogre they can't think straight. Pierre was Prime Ministerial, confident and sincere, and came across as someone who really cared about Canada and about the real challenges ordinary Canadians face, young and old. He talked about kitchen table issues that mattered to Candians while still trying to call Carney out for being the same as Trudea and having been his financial advisor for a half a decade. Carney demonstrated he had no personality, no energy, and no sense of caring for anything other than calling everything under the sun a crisis. Manufacturing crisis to manufacture fear in your citizenry is a cardinal feature of how dictators gain power, and anyone who cannot figure that out, well, I guess we can't help them, except to say they will become that dictator's useful idiots. Carney is an awful extemporaneous speaker --his sentences are filled with ummms, ahhh, and uhhs -- he is worse than Trudeau in that regard. How anyone could have looked at him in that debate and see him as Prime Ministerial -- well except for the CBC --is beyond me.
I don't know who decided that his one question to Poilievre should be about his security clearance, but they've probably since been fired, or perhaps Carney himself -- being the arrogant sort he is -- ignored advice from his advisors and went for it anyhow -- and Pierre clobbered him so hard, he was still dizzy when he tried to respond -- Steve Paikin the debate moderator -- ended his suffering quickly, calling time on him. I don't know if this was enough to put Pierre over the top, because the regime media have been propagandizing the wonders of Carney and how Canada has to stop bad orange man so much, Carney is the man to do it-- might make it a hard slog.
In my view, if Carney wins -- I think Canadians can sincerely talk about a stolen election -- due to the unscrupulous plays of the regime media. It is not that different from the way the 2020 election was stolen in the states -- not by voter fraud, although the certainly was some, but again by media controlling the narrative. In 2025 they lost control of it thanks to the changing media landscape in the states. Canada is behind in that regard, and what the independent media need to do is find a Rupert Murdock the bankroll them, and go toe to toe with the big boys. It's just a dream, but given what you have to work with, and how far True North and Juno News has come, kudos to you.
Overall I find our political class underwhelming at best. Our country deserves better. The potential of our people has never been realised due to political interference since 1965 or so. The time is long overdue to hold leadership accountable and our very existence may well count on an end to the status quo. The leader to harness the will of the Canadian spirit needs to drop the platitudes and step up NOW. Who will it be? The end of federalism may be the answer as this may be the only way to simplify the realities of politics and the overreach of Ottawa in daily affairs?
I believe Ms. Malcolm balances her lead in background with her questions for guests to an appropriate level that benefits a spectrum of viewers. Your concern, though understandable, seems more applicable to Ezra Levant, even though he is a force for good.

There is another podcast with Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Desiree Fixler which is very telling about Carney's agenda.....
That fool from “The Hill” caused the cancellation of the scrum. He was violent in the media room.
Enjoyed Wyatt Claypool. Hope you can bring him back.
Wonderful
The CBC just who the hell do they think they are as far as I am concerned they are about as useless as slug on a dry rock

Will Mark Carney take tax free status away from churches and agencies that help women have and take care of their babies?

If you are going to have guests on your show then please be quiet so they can talk. We already know what you think.
Pierre did a great job!!
