The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Is Trump serious about wanting to unleash economic warfare against Canada to annex us into the United States?  Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice walks us through the latest on this lightning rod of a political issue – including Trump’s latest comments, the hysterical reaction from our politicians and pundit class, the few people who get it, and why many Canadians are taking Trump seriously on his proposal.  We’ll also talk about Trudeau’s prorogation of Parliament and the legal battle unfolding to try to stop the Governor General from allowing Trudeau to delay an election for nakedly partisan reasons.  We’re so excited to be back with the Candice Malcolm Show and we have a great episode for you today!

Has Canada’s legacy media given up on pretending to be objective and neutral? It sure appears that way. Last week, the Toronto Star published propaganda created by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office and the Canadian Press was caught quoting a major Liberal party donor and supporter without disclosing his partisan background and attempting to pass it off as “journalism.” True North’s Candice Malcolm says Canada’s is bought and paid for by the Liberal government and have completely compromised their ability to publish objective, fact-based, and honest reporting.

Justin Trudeau’s Online Harms Bill, Bill C-63, is the biggest threat to freedom of speech in this country. It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state replete with snitch lines, kangaroo courts and mass censorship. But Canadians can’t count on the legacy media to tell the truth about Trudeau’s latest power grab. Instead of sounding the alarm, the media is cheering on the prime minister and doing his dirty work in smearing the opposition. If Canada were a free country, with a free press, the media would be ringing the alarm over this assault on freedom of speech. Tune into Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show. Correction: Michael Geist is the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and NOT the former head of the CRTC. Learn more about your ad choices.

The woke mind virus has infected just about every company in corporate Canada, but it seems to be the media has been hardest hit, with anti-conservative purges happening in editorial sections and managerial rooms across the country.  For those few journalists who refuse to go along with the media’s social justice agenda and push back against the Left’s woke world view, they run the risk of losing their jobs. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, former radio host Jamil Jivani joins the show. Jamil was recently fired by Bell Media and iHeartRadio for refusing to push the woke dogma or parrot their ideological talking points on identity politics. Candice and Jamil discuss the sad state of the corporate legacy media in Canada, how conservatives are fighting back, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and much more.

While many Liberals unabashedly celebrated the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms last week, many Canadians were left wondering: if the Charter couldn’t protect our freedoms during Covid, then what good is it? On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by lawyer, legal scholar and President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), John Carpay. Candice and John discuss the purpose of the Charter, its history and its many shortfalls. They discuss the worst government offenders during Covid, the most draconian and anti-freedom policies, and why our Charter didn’t do more to protect individual rights and freedoms during the dystopian nightmare of the past two years. Finally, Candice asks John if Canada is truly a free country and if it’s fair comment to describe Canada as a “dictatorship” – as we’ve heard recently from Conservative activists and politicians.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show! Candice looks at the latest developing fake news story line in the legacy media, which is that Pierre Poilievre must be racist because he appeals to too many “white people.” Rather than critiquing conservatives on substance, lazy journalists would much rather simply hurl insults because apparently having “white people” at your rally is a bad thing. One substantive critique of Poilievre did come from the CBC – where “experts say” that contrary to Poilievre’s critique of government borrowing and printing of money, the real cause of inflation has little to do with government. “Government spending is one of many factors pushing prices up — but it’s a relatively modest one,” said one left-wing economist defending Trudeau. “It really doesn’t matter what Canada’s government spends,” said another. You can’t make this stuff up. Another CBC article goes even further in defending the Trudeau government, telling us that the “pick-up truck tax doesn’t exist” – this despite the tax being listed in a government report released by Trudeau’s Environment Minister. The CBC may not understand basic math, economics, civics or how laws are passed, but they do understand where their bread is buttered: they exist for the sole purpose of defending Justin Trudeau.

Buried deep in a Trudeau government report released last month was a proposal to slap a new tax on pick-up trucks – by far the most popular vehicles in Canada. The recommendation attached to Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s climate change report called for a tax of anywhere between $1,000 and $4,000. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by the researcher who found this buried tax proposal and exposed it – Kris Sims of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Remarkably, after Sims broke the story, Guilbeault went on the attack and called her factual news report “disinformation” and “fake news.” This is the same minister who first drafted Bills C-10 and C-36 that seek to censor and ban so-called disinformation. The Trudeau government’s loyal CBC stenographer Aaron Wherry was quick to repeat Guilbeault’s talking points in an article that accuses Sims and the CTF of criticizing a “Truck Tax that doesn’t exist.” Candice and Kris talk about the bizarre world of federal politics where Trudeau government officials deny facts that are published in their own reports, where journalists hold government critics – rather than government officials – to account, the growing cultural divide between the laptop class and the working class, and the brewing culture war over pick-up trucks.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Canada’s most trusted journalists, Paul Wells, left Maclean's magazine last month after nearly 20 years with the magazine. This week, he announced that he would not be joining another legacy outlet – instead, he launched his own independent newsletter on Substack. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by the man himself, Paul Wells, to talk about what prompted this big decision at this point in his career. They discuss the state of journalism in Canada, the changing media landscape and how it hurts local journalism, the benefits of independent media, and the impact of government subsidies in the legacy media. They also discuss the Trucker convoy, the divisive political climate in Ottawa and across Canada, Justin Trudeau’s legacy, and the often lack of accountability for this government. We don’t always agree with Paul Wells' take on things (and vice versa) but we appreciate his willingness to come on our show and have a civil discussion about the issues of the day. We encourage everyone to support independent journalism and check out Paul’s newsletter at www.PaulWells.substack.com  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government wants to meddle in the content you see online. They want to apply the clunky and out-dated regulatory framework of the CRTC and awkwardly use it to regulate the internet. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by one of Canada’s most prominent political internet personalities, JJ McCullough. JJ opposes the new bills, C-11 and C-18, despite the fact that he would very likely benefit from them. He warns that they are based on a “boomer ignorance of what the internet is” and there is no evidence they are needed. Candice and JJ discuss Trudeau’s hypocrisy in saying that Canada has no core identity, while also using the CRTC to promote “Canadian content”, balancing threats to free speech from big government and big tech, and what the proposed bills will all mean for small independent outlets like True North.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada is one of the only countries in the world, in the history of the world, to routinely sacrifices its own national interest to virtue signal. Instead of focussing on a vision for Canada in the future, the Trudeau government is focused on social justice, climate change, mass redistribution of wealth and equity. Is there a better path forward? What does the future hold for Canada? Can Canada become a global power? These are questions that shape the thinking of one of Canada’s brightest policy thinkers, Dr. Irvin Studin. Irvin is the Founder, Editor-In-Chief and publisher of Global Brief Magazine. He recently published a new book, Canada must think for itself: 10 theses for our countries survival and success in the 21st century. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Irvin Studin to discuss the challenges that Canada faces and the potential future that lays ahead for our county.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
