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.

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.

After Justin Trudeau’s dreadful online censorship bills thankfully died because Trudeau called an election in the Fall of 2021, they’re back and they’re worse than before. The Trudeau government has reintroduced its latest online censorship legislation – Bills C-11 and C-18. Under Trudeau’s new censorship regime, big tech platforms will be forced to promote government-defined Canadian content and to pay news outlets for articles that are shared on online platforms. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Rebel News boss Ezra Levant joins Candice to discuss what Trudeau’s online censorship legislation means for Canadians and why Trudeau is determined to censor the internet.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buying a house in Canada is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in major cities. Governments of all levels are throwing money at the problem, but will that actually help Canadians buy a home? On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Chris Spoke. Chris is a contributor to the Hub, the founder and CEO of August and the founder of Housing Matters – an advocacy group which aims to advance the cause of land use liberalization in order to solve the urban housing problem. Candice and Chris discuss the federal budget and the government’s attempt to address the housing situation in Canada, the YIMBY and NIMBY movements and the role of cryptocurrency in the Canadian economy.

The Liberal government once again broke the bank with a taxpayer funded spending spree which they ironically call a “budget.” This year, Canadians saw Trudeau introduce $56 billion in new spending, with an annual deficit of $52 billion and total debt reaching $1.2 trillion – or about $31,000 for every man, woman and child in Canada. Without a hint of irony, Trudeau’s loyal band of government-funded journalists told Canadians this budget was “modest”, “prudent” and even “conservative.” Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Canadian Taxpayer Federation boss Franco Terrazzano to refute Liberal talking points and explain just how reckless and ruinous this fiscal roadmap will be for all Canadians.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government has unveiled new legislation to crack down on so-called “hate speech.” Of course the government isn’t specifying what “hate speech” is but it’s clear what Justin Trudeau’s intentions are – he’s cracking down speech he hates. This is what leftist authoritarianism looks like. Bill C-63, which is being presented by the government under the guise of “protecting children,” enables people to file complaints against others for posting “hate speech” and empowers the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to order payments of up to $70,000. Instead of sounding the alarm on Trudeau’s latest attack on free speech, unsurprisingly, the legacy media is celebrating this power grab. True North’s Candice Malcolm says Trudeau is pretending C-63 is about protecting your safety and children’s safety, but in reality Trudeau wants to control the internet, just like how he controls the media.

A woke Australian pens an opinion article in CBC complaining about how he became a Canadian citizen while peddling false information about Canada’s citizenship and immigration process. It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice is joined by True North producer Harrison Faulkner to break down all the latest fake news being peddled by the legacy media, including a wild story of a journalism association nominating a far-left rant for a news award – this, after the rant in question was thoroughly debunked by an RCMP report. You can’t make this stuff up. Plus, more Liberal journalists turn on Canada, our flag, our national symbols and our foundational principle of freedom. They say the quiet part out loud, which is that they prefer pushing woke globalist causes over defending western liberal democracy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the rest of the world is moving on and learning to live with Covid, one Canadian province doesn't seem to have gotten that memo. British Columbia feels months behind when it comes to adapting to everything we know about Covid. It still enforces its draconian vaccine mandate and the government continues to fire workers for not complying with its failed mandate system. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by True North Senior Editor and Civil Liberties Reporter Harley Sims, who lives in BC and reports on these issues daily. They discuss the latest court actions and firings, why BC is so out of step, what it’s like for unvaccinated people out West and a few glimmers of hope in the fight to restore our freedoms: namely CAF veteran James Topp and his courage march across Canada.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week on the Candice Malcolm Show, the former Executive Director of the United Conservative Party (UCP) Brad Tennant joined Candice to give viewers an understanding of what was happening in Alberta and the UCP leadership review from a pro-Kenney point of view. Today, we hear the other side of the story in Alberta. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by the former leader of the Wildrose Party and the former Leader of the Opposition in the Alberta Legislature Danielle Smith. Smith announced her return to politics last week and will be seeking the UCP nomination for the riding of Livingstone-Macleod, and to seek the leadership of the UCP if Kenney loses his review.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is overseeing a series of significant crises in our country. Whether it’s Trudeau’s handling of the freedom convoy or his disregard for Parliament, Trudeau’s handling of these crises is dividing the country and making us weaker. But is it fair to compare Trudeau to a dictator? The legacy media and Liberal MPs don’t think so. Last week, journalists in legacy media lost their minds when a Conservative MP echoed the sentiments of many Canadians and compared Trudeau to a dictator. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, we will do a comprehensive fact-check on this claim to determine whether or not Justin Trudeau is in fact a dictator.

The Covid-hypocondriacts are pushing more fear and compliance in the face of a supposed “sixth wave” of Covid. Will we ever let it go? Or are we doomed to repeat the same dreadful Covid policy mistakes that we’ve been making for the past two years?    On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by True North investigative reporter and columnist Sue-Ann Levy.    They talk about the fear-mongering, the failed policies, the arrogance from policy makers and the difference in policies between Florida (where Sue Ann is now) and Ontario.    They also talk about out-of-touch politicians like Toronto Mayor John Tory (who Sue-Ann spotted in Palm Beach) and where there is such a backlash against them.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the Trudeau government unveiled a new set of unrealistic emissions reduction targets, which includes a plan to cut emissions by 40% by the year 2030 and measures targeting Canada’s oil and gas sector. Despite the fact that their climate schemes have failed time and time again, the government is doubling down and making life more expensive for all Canadians.Is there an alternative to Trudeau’s radical approach? Can Canada create a realistic climate plan that prioritizes our economy while protecting our natural environment? On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by economics professor Dr. Ross McKitrick from the University of Guelph.

Canadians are feeling the effects of big government and a Liberal party that always thinks it knows best.

True North is pleased to welcome our newest journalist and contributor Sam Sey!   Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice welcomes Samuel to the podcast and to True North. Sameul is a scholar and writer living in the GTA who focuses on critiquing and exposing Critical Race Theory and so-called anti-racism.   Anti-racism sounds innocuous, but, as Sam explains, it is a racist and pernicious force that insists that race and group identity matter more than a person’s character or abilities. It seeks to divide our society and promotes hate and resentment rather than cohesion and pluralism.   Anti-racists advocate in favour of racist discrimination, and go so far as to accuse Civil Rights champions like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of being “white supremacists.”   Canadians need to learn the facts about Critical Race Theory so we can stop it from seeping into our education system and prevent awful bills, like Bill 67 in Ontario, from being passed into law.   True North has brought on Samuel to do just that – expose this racist ideology and give parents the tools they need to stop it.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it was the obsessive rules about masking, punitive vaccine mandates or the bullying tactics used against the unvaccinated, Canada’s Covid policies were characterized by repeated failures. The public health advice was confusing, hypocritical, hectoring and oftentimes, completely counter to what we knew about the virus. It was opposed to scientific knowledge. Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Dr. Matt Strauss, the Medical Officer of Health for Haldimand Norfolk and an ICU doctor at Guelph General Hospital. Dr. Strauss wrote a recent opinion piece he wrote on a comprehensive scientific study on the limitations of masks – especially cloth masks. They talk about the repeated failed approaches to Covid, the limitations of vaccines, the bullying tactics used in the media against people with dissenting opinions (including Dr. Strauss!) and the many unintended consequences of our failed policies.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh form their coalition pact to avoid a fiscal collapse?  Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre.  Back in September 2020, Pierre predicted on this show that Canada’s fiscal situation was mathematically impossible and heading towards a collapse. He said that Trudeau desperately needed a majority government to hide his scandal and to raise taxes to afford his COVID spending binge.  Candice and Pierre revisit that prediction, talk about what this Liberal-NDP pact means for Canadians – especially working class Canadians – and why Canada has become so expensive.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the great paradoxes of our time is that the leaders who recklessly plunged us into a two-year covid-induced mania and who tore apart our economy and our social fabric, are now the same very people empowered to bring us back.    Canada needs to come up with a serious and credible plan to move past covid, end all covid era mandates and restrictions, to get our economy back on track but also, to begin to address the considerable harm done to our social fabric by the unprecedented government overreach of the past two years.    Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by one of one of the leading international policy thinkers in Canada – Irvin Studin.

Canada’s diplomatic mission has resorted to immature online trolling of the Russian. Rather than hold the Trudeau government accountable, the legacy media cheer on these embarrassing efforts. It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice is joined by True North journalist Harrison Faulkner to discuss the biggest fake news of the week. This includes a former radio host clipping a video out of context to pretend that Conservative Leader Candice Bergan doesn’t support Ukraine, when in fact her words of support go beyond what even Trudeau has said. They also discuss the revelation that the Hunter Biden laptop story is indeed true, proving that the legacy media calls fake news ‘real news’ and real news ‘fake news.’ Finally, they detail a CBC story showing how Canada’s Governor General not only politicize a position that is supposed to be above politics, but also tries to project her deranged left-wing ideology onto the Queen.

Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by journalist and columnist Barbara Kay to discuss Ontario’s Bill 67 – which seeks to steep the education system in a radical leftist ideology. Bill 67 focuses on Critical Race Theory, contending that Canada is a white supremacist society and the only way to make things more fair is through so called “anti-racist” discrimination. According to Barbara, this explicitly racist ideology will punish and divide all students while fomenting hate and resentment amongst various groups. The worst part of all is that this bill was introduced by Doug Ford’s Conservative government and even originally endorsed by an independent conservative MPP. This demonstrates the broader problem – that the bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It sounds innocuous and reasonable, but the opposite is true. Canadians need to pay more attention and get more involved to ensure that racist divisions aren’t imposed into our schools. Candice and Barbara also talk about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and how he’s managed to stay in power for so long. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to talk a good game about protecting the Charter Rights of all Canadians – even when it’s unpopular. He threw those values out the window during Covid, when he suspended many charter rights and regularly scapegoated and dehumanized the unvaccinated. There’s a new category of people who have been “de-personed” in our society: Russians. Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya to discuss the recent attacks against Russians in the West and in some cases the lifting of their basic rights and protections. They also discuss the media climate where politicians like Trudeau and his deputy PM Chrystia Freeland face next to no scrutiny from the legacy media. Why don’t journalists question Freeland’s political activism in Ukraine? Is her role with the left-wing World Economic Forum a conflict of interest? Instead of investigating and asking tough questions of our leaders, too many legacy media journalists play defence for our leaders.

The legacy media in Canada is every bit as dishonest and corrupted as you and I suspect. Last month when True North broke the story of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland holding a Nazi banner at a Ukrainian rally in Toronto, a handful of legacy media reporters picked up our scoop.  Most wrote their stories according to Freelend’s Liberal spin – that Freeland had done nothing wrong, the any critics of the Liberals were spreading “Russian disinformation” and that True North’s journalists were to blame for writing this story.  So much for holding a powerful politician accountable for her reckless actions.  The legacy media didn’t even bother to point out the hypocrisy given that the Liberals accused the Conservatives of “standing with those who wave Swastikas” at the Trucker rally.  One rare and honest legacy media story came from iPolitics, who accurately recounted the events and blamed Freeland for her blunder.  Interestingly, a few hours later, iPolitics issued a “correction” and changed the tone of the story to reflect the legacy media groupthink. Blame should not be aimed at the powerful woman holding the Nazi banner, it should be aimed at those talking about it!  True North has learned that the “correction” was issued after interference from Freeland’s office – who “pressured” iPolitics to change the story.  The Liberals said “jump”, the legacy media ask “how high?” This caused the reporter who wrote the original story, Rachel Emmanuel, to resign out of principle. She now writes for the independent outlet the Western Standard, and she wrote an opinion column describing the ordeal.  Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Rachel Emmanuel, who recounts the story and talks about the fundamental problems facing the media and why trust in journalists is at an all time low.

Modern leftist feminism is one of the most perverse and harmful forces in our society. It tells men that they are “toxic” and need to be more like women, meanwhile, it tells women to be liberated and act more like men.The result? Both men and women – but especially women – are self-reportedly more miserable and less fulfilled than at any previous time, according to comprehensive meta data studies. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by one of Canada’s leading public intellectuals, retired professor Janice Fiamengo. They discuss the many, many problems with modern leftist feminism and discuss alternative advice and guidance for young people.They also talk about the strange phenomenon of women’s college swimming superstar Lia Thomas, who has shattered pool records this year. Lia, as you may know, has the distinct advantages of being a biological male. Dr. Fiamengo clearly explains how we got to this bizarre place in our society.

Nearly half of Canadians support banning sex change operations and life-altering hormone treatments like puberty blockers for children, according to a recent poll. However, more Canadians will want to protect children from the horrors of these procedures after hearing what a Canadian surgeon recently said about these radical procedures. Dr. Alex Laungani, a clinician at Canada’s Metropolitan Center Of Surgery, told his colleagues at the World Professional Association for Transgender Health that the trans medical industry has grown too quickly and that there could be “a lack of training and not proper training.” He also highlighted the “pretty bad” consequences of genital surgeries.

Candice is joined by True North journalist Harrison Faulkner to break down all the worst media spin and dishonesty of the week. They talk about how many legacy media journalists have turned on the Canadian flag – admitting that they feel triggered seeing it and that it now represents the Freedom Convoy (apparently that’s a bad thing). Meanwhile, many of these same journalists have no trouble rallying around Ukraine – changing their profiles and adding the Blue and Yellow flag to their Twitter bios. But, unfortunately for these journalists, we keep seeing more and more ties to neo-Nazi groups embedded inside the Ukrainian military. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the past week Justin Trudeau and three of his senior cabinet ministers have been touring Europe, taking lots of photos and lecturing the world about “democratic values.” In the UK, Trudeau was met with massive protests and negative press. In Latvia he was oddly grinning ear-to-ear while standing next to Canada's military. And, in Germany, Trudeau told world leaders that in a democracy, people need to listen and have respect for those who hold "different political views."

Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by a Conservative Member of Parliament trying to change that. Alberta MP Garnett Genuis introduced a private members bill last week to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to protect Canadians from discrimination due to political beliefs or actions. The bill would create federal protections for those fired or harassed by their employers or the government for engaging in a political protest or donating to a political cause.

Manning says the Trucker Convoy was a “legitimate, bottom-up political protest” and that the Trudeau government’s handling of it was “an extreme overreaction and a deliberate misinterpretation of what they were trying to do.” “There is rumbling in the federal Liberals already that Trudeau has to go,” said Manning in regards to his overall handling of Covid and unwillingness to adapt to the rapidly changing political environment.

It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice and True North journalist Harrison Faulkner break down the worst of the worst of biased media and pro-war propaganda. While the legacy media insist the situation is black and white, and that anyone saying anything skeptical of the news coverage or about any Ukrainian is a Putin-shill or pushing Russian KGB disinformation. We reject that idea. Two things can be true at the same time. Putin is an aggressor, a tyrant and a war criminal. Also. Ukraine has sketchy elements that shouldn’t be ignored and that Canada’s Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland shouldn’t support. The legacy media continues to show Canadians that they cannot be trusted to report the truth. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Just how far will the legacy media go to defend Chrystia Freeland and the Liberals? Freeland recently posted – and then deleted – a photo of herself at a Ukrainian rally in Toronto holding a black and red flag representative of a militant Neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine. The banner represents the Bandera movement – Bandera was a literal Nazi who helped carry out Hilter’s holocaust in Ukraine by murdering over 100,000 Jews and Poles. The legacy media didn’t cover Freeland’s colossal misstep – True North did. But now, three days later, multiple legacy media outlets finally got around to covering the story. But, get this: rather than holding Freeland accountable for this reckless move, instead these articles seek to hold True North accountable for the crime of reporting it. They smeared us as “unwittingly participating” in Russian disinformation. The lowest of the low was the National Post, once considered Canada’s last bastion of conservative thought in the legacy media. I kid you not, the National Post quoted some “expert” minimizing and whitewashing the concept of “blood and soil” – the most prominent and despicable Nazi slogan. You can’t make this stuff up. What a sad, pathetic new low for Canada’s bailout media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

US President Joe Biden has announced the end of Covid and took direct aim at the ‘defund the police’ movement. Will Canada follow suit? During Biden’s gaffe-filled State of the Union address, the US President threatened to punish Russia, celebrated the fact that the US was mask-free and encouraged MORE funding for the police. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, True North’s Candice Malcolm breaks down Biden’s State of the Union address and what this means for Canada. She says Canada’s decision-makers can learn a lot from the President’s moderate tone when it comes to Covid and support for police.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The war between Russia and Ukraine is being played out across social media feeds and news headlines. The battle is as much about influencing public opinion and winning over hearts and minds as it is about gaining territory. Over the past few days, Canadians have been inundated with propaganda from both sides. Is what you see on Twitter and Facebook accurate and real? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice cuts through the propaganda and does a deep dive on what’s really going on in Ukraine. She exposes the absurd double standard of Chrystia Freeland holding a Ukrainian banner that represents a Nazi movement, and the legacy media’s refusal to cover this story.

A major part of Justin Trudeau’s appeal to progressive voters in Canada is his international reputation as a liberal golden boy. But Trudeau’s use of war-time measures to crack down a peaceful working class protest has shattered that image. It made him look weak, hypocritical, petty and mean. How can Trudeau lecture serial human-rights-abuses in countries like China and Iran when he used force and froze the bank accounts of political dissidents at home? Those countries are already mocking him and pointing out the double standard. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by lawyer and human rights activist Kaveh Shahrooz to discuss just how badly this damaged Trudeau’s reputation – abroad and at home.

It’s Friday – kick back, grab a drink and tune into the Off the Record with Andrew Lawton, Harrison Faulkner and Sue-Ann Levy! Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre once again demonstrated that he isn’t afraid to confront the legacy media. This week, Poilievre and a Canadian Press reporter exchanged words government media handouts, as the Conservative leader accused legacy media outlets of repeating “PMO talking points rather than delivering real news to the Canadian people.” Plus, the tolerant left shows their true colours in BC as protesters clashed over a drug injection site in Richmond. According to protesters in favour of the drug injection site, immigrants that don’t want junkies shooting up in their neighbourhood should go back where they came from. And another church arson took place in Regina but Canada’s politicians don’t seem to care. Tune into Off the Record! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It has been almost one week since the trucks left Ottawa and Justin Trudeau’s fake emergency concluded, but the media isn’t finished trying to smear the Canadians that peacefully protested Justin Trudeau’s mandates. This week. the media highlighted anti-trucker voices to mislead Canadians into thinking the convoy was an “occupation,” journalists obsess over an outspoken character to smear the entire movement and legacy media elites call the protesters “anti-social yobs” and “half-wits.” It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice is joined by True North producer Harrison Faulkner to discuss the worst examples on fake news this week.

There was never an emergency that warranted the use of the Emergencies Act. Trudeau just admitted that by revoking the order less than two days after it was approved. By the time he declared the “emergency”, the border blockages were already removed. By the time his government received approval to use the act by the House of Commons, the police had already cracked down and removed the peaceful protest. So what changed between Monday evening when the Act was passed and Wednesday afternoon when Trudeau revoked it? Nothing. Other than a new poll showing Canadians oppose Trudeau’s handling of the situation and nearly two-thirds of young Canadians side with the truckers. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice says that’s very bad news for Trudeau, and no amount of media spin will make it go away.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government used excessive force and violence to remove a group of peaceful and unarmed protesters in Ottawa. They created a No-Go Zone. Police explicitly told journalists to leave the area, and they threatened to arrest anyone found walking down the street in Ottawa. How is any of this legal? It isn’t. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has condemned this behaviour, saying that: “time and time again, Canadian courts have ruled against exclusion zones and other limits on the press.” On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by journalist Andrew Lawton who was on the ground reporting all weekend for True North and was himself the victim of police brutalization. They discuss what happened, what it means and what’s next.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
