  Speaker 1: Jean Blinus Weekday's nine to noon on six ten KGV
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Niagaras News and Talk. All right. We love John Litkey
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: because he gives us a unique take on the stories
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: that are unfolding every single day. Good morning, John, Good
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: morning Jeane. Okay, the Prime Minister was in town at
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a synagogue in Toronto one Monday night to talk about
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism. As far as I'm concerned, a little too
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: little and a lot late. You advocate for Jewish organizations
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: in Canada. Last year, Ben A Berrith documented six eight
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: hundred anti Semitic incidents, one hundred and forty five percent increase,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: equalling more than eighteen incidents per day. Now Stats Canada
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: says at seventy percent of police reported religious hate crimes
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: were committed against Jews in Canada, despite Jews making up
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: just one percent of the population, So that is astronomical.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the Prime Minister has been. I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: don't know where the police in Toronto have been, because
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that seems to be where it's happening the most. So
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the synagogue was a packed last night. There were vivid
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: descriptions of bullet holes and security guards. But you claim
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it didn't really focus on key drivers. What are they
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and what did he miss?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't at all. Gene. I mean, look, you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: can't put out a raging fire if you're legally terrified
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of uttering the word oxygen or flat out refusing to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: use water or fire suppressant. The entire speech was rhetorical
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: cowardice wrapped in excellent linguistic gymnastics. But if you just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: look at what he did, Carne switched into French just
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance of definition of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: anti Semitism, having to change the language to explain that
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the toxic double standards levied against Israel are in fact
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: anti Semitic, and that our government under Trudeau adopted this
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: definition years ago. It's like he was trying to whisper
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the truth past the Anglo English speaker partisan ears. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then when he decided to go back into things, he
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: refused to draw a hard moral line against the targeting
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of the Jewish community that has endured since October the seventh,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: ignoring completely anti Zionism, not addressing the word itself. These
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: are the core culprits driven by a well documented triple
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: alliance that we've talked about before the Marxist fascist Islamist alliance.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But he's pivoting to frantic defensive qualifications to assure everyone
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that aggressively criticizing Israel is still totally cool in Canadian.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He said that in English, this wasn't a speech to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: protect Jewish Canadians. It felt like a banker's explanatory spreadsheet
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: disguises moral leadership. It was frustrating, to say the least.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Now he has launched this new faith Advisory Council to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: combat hate. Now you're claiming, yeah, okay, but all the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: wrong people are on it. Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at what this council is
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: right now, it is just quite frankly unbelievable. It's pure
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: public relations theater. The FED looked at independent watchdog bodies,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: whether it be the Anti Semitism Envoy or the Islamophobia Envoy,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: literal entities funded specifically designed to stand outside of the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: glass and shout when power misbehaves. But they just decided
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: those people were too loud, so they dissolved them. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: instead of building a better watchdog, they've built a mirror,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: an internal advisory council staffed entirely by backbenchers, chaired by
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a sitting Cabinet minister and overseen by a senator Liberal
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: affiliated housed within the PMO orbit. It's a structural panic
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: room that should have been directed by David Fincher, starring
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Jody Foster as a two point zero. The whole apparatus
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: designed to stage, manage optics, control narratives, and filter out
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the embarrassing information before the public ever gets to see it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It's the bureaucratic equivalent of letting the criminal suspect chair
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the internal police investigation and calling it accountability.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: As I said, you've advocated for Jewish groups in the past,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and I know that you've sat across from our former
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Katy Perry's boyfriend I can't say his name,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and you pressed him on what the federal government was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: actually doing about anti Semitism. While we have a new
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: prime minister or a new administration, same party, is there
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a disconnect between their script and reality? Is there anything
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: new and different and better with Carney?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: No, the disconnect is so massive, Gene, you could park
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the ever given containership in its sideways like it was
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the Suez Canal. I've stood in these press scrums I've
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: looked Trudeau dead in the eye. I've been after press
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: CRuMs and had private conversations and I asked him, what
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: are you doing and what are you prepared to do
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: about this domestic tide of hatred? And the response back
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: then was this blueprint that Carney gave at the speech yesterday,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a breathless recitation of past budget announcements, grant programs, committee formations.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: They're treating what they've done as a success story rather
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: than speed bumps on the road to the worst domestic
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: jew hateen modern Canadian history. This is the thing with
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this liberal government. They love to stand in front of
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: burning buildings, to hold flashy pressors and brag about how
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: much they spent on the smoke detectors. But you can't
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: count advisory boards as victories when the very literal synagogue
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you are using as a backdrop requires permanent, heavily armed
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: security perimeters just to let the community inside the doors.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's obscene, Jeane.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You know, up until well, not just a couple of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: years ago, up until about maybe five or six years ago,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Canada had a cross partisan consensus on immigration, thanks to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: again Katie Perry's boyfriend. That is completely fractured. So what
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: broke John, and what's been the shift in Canadian values?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Ideological blindness broke it, Jean, plain and simple. For decades, Yeah,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: we had a golden bulletproof consensus on immigration, the envy
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of the Western world. But Canadians didn't just wake up
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: one morning with a sudden collective fit of xenophobia. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to paint this off as that is to disservice to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: us all. What happened was the FEDS treated our national
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: infrastructure as if it possessed infinite elasticity, opening the floodgates
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: for temporary foreign workers, for international students, without meaningful conversations
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: about where will these human beings live, sleep, work. They
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: ran population volumes through ideological lenses, completely ignoring what was
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: going on around us, and we just didn't have the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: infrastructure to absorb those numbers. While our hospitals were already
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: being overrun during COVID and our housing stocks were rapidly depleting,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and the math didn't math, and it caught up to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the ideology. The system seized. The government broke the consensus
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by turning a managed policy into a very visible national crisis.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Well, the part of the crisis that continues to upset
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: me or these protests in cities right across Canada where
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I hear death to Canada, death to Israel, and the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: cops stand around and do little about it. Now of late,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: some charges have finally been laid in the Toronto area.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: But this is a massive bureaucratic failure. We're audible literally
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: lost track of data and even the Immigration Minister d'eb
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: at a committee hearing back in December, said we're not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: exactly sure where all these people are.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: This is an administrative train wreck of historic proportions. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: mean we found out last year or the year before,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Stats Canada, Immigration Department, in the Housing Ministry all operated
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: as three independent, uncommunicative fiefstoms that refused to share data
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: because our system doesn't track actual exit data. Their internal
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: software assumed that the second that a temporary visa expired,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that person magically teleported out of the country like they
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: were in Star Trek. I mean they lost track of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a million people. Jeans a million people were missing. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: when they were finally called out about it by the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: independent Bank economists, the public reaction was absolute jaw dropping shock,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and the followed is devastating because as you know that
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: structural damage is now baked into our economy and we
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: have to figure out how we're going to get out
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of it. But when you leave entire metropolis is out
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of your baseline equations. By who you're bringing in, you're
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: not just mismanaging files. You are systemically manufacturing the acute
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: housing and rental shortage by accident.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned off the top the Bay Berrith
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: documenting six eight hundred anti Semitic incidents in Canada, which
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is one hundred and forty five percent increase. So I mean,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you know, currently the strategies aren't working. What needs to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be done well.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I think what we need is backbone gene, not just microphones,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and I mean no offense to our broadcasters that we're
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: all friends with. The government has too many microphones. The
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: entire federal response wasn't a proactive stand. It was reactive
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: damage control. Because the facts are out there and people
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: can see it. Canadian Jews have been begging for basic
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: physical security and meaningful law enforcement for years now, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the SAIDs, though, feel like they've done enough, but realized
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: they needed to soothe public sentiments, so they threw a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: presser to change the comm strategy. This is just Trudeau
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: leadership two point zero. Spend millions to convince the voters
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that were right and it's you who are wrong. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: we'll just shake up the comstrat. But this isn't a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: pr problem. This is a fundamental rule of law problem.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Unwatered down leadership would mean using the legal tools that
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we have on the books, instructing the Justice Department to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: aggressively prosecute hate crimes without reservation, and immediately start to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: have this national conversation about what it means when members
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: of our community, whether they be our own members of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the community or invited guests into our community, are continually
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: breaking laws on our streets and how we react to it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: We need to stop treating systemic raw with band aids,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and we just need to enforce the law. This isn't hard.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great, take this morning, John, appreciate you, Thank you, Gene.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: There we go is John Litkey, And it is a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: very serious problem. And as I've stated, I've got an
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: opinion on just about everything that was that speech last night,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Way too late, way too little, And I don't know
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: if this new Faith Advisory Council is really going to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: make a difference like John said, enforce a lot, pretty simple,
