Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch told Fox News’ Business Network on Tuesday that elites, insiders, and left-wing media, are doing everything they can to stop her and also suggested she doesn’t agree with universal healthcare.

Leitch’s interview with Fox host David Asman aired, yesterday, and the pair covered Leitch’s controversial plan to screen new immigrants for values and healthcare.

Asman began the segment by saying that Donald Trump’s anti-establishment brand has found some common ground with folks north of the border, most notably with his guest, Leitch, and he suggested that the orthopedic surgeon who also holds an MBA is overqualified for politics.

“Let’s talk about how a lot of people in Canada think that you are the Canadian version of Donald Trump,” said Asman, pointing to her idea to anti-Canadian value screening plan.

“Look David, here in Canada, whether it be the elites or the insiders, or some of the left wing media, they’re really out of touch with the average Canadian,” she said.

Leitch said that “elites,” “insiders” and “left wing media” are pushing their and “open border globalist agenda,” and that average Canadian workers are being left behind.

She said she’s advocating for going “back to what we used to do in this country” and have every immigrant coming into the country sit down for a face to face interview and ask them about Canadian values.

“The elites, the insiders, the left-wing media, they’re doing everything they can to stop me,” she said smiling, “but I’m not going to back down.”

Asman said the concerns in Canada are similar to the U.S. “I’m just wondering though whether going in the opposite direction, what you used to do in Canada, your’e becoming kind of like those European cities that have certain areas cordoned off where police and others are afraid to go.”

Then, Asman raised health care, and said folks who are pushing for a greater role for the government in healthcare in the U.S. point to Canada and they say, ‘”you folks have almost complete socialized medicine and you’re doing pretty well – to which you say what?'”

Leitch said Canada has some real challenged with access to quality care, long waiting lists, and said average Canadians and seniors don’t have access to the care that they need.

Pressing Leitch on health care, Asman said “We have to go Dr. Leitch but it’s fair to say socialized medicine isn’t the cure – correct?”

“I would tend to agree with you David,” Leitch said.

Leitch has been a doctor practising in Canada since 1991, and is the former chair of paediatric surgery at the Children’s Hospital of Western Ontario.

She ended the interview with a broad critique of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, saying he is “spending billions of dollars globally on other climate change issues,” putting a carbon tax in place and killing jobs.
