The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast

On deck this week, Andrew and Harrison look into the fake news that the legacy media was deliberately pushing disinformation about the Freedom Convoy that escalated the situation. Next, the Globe endorses The Canadian Screen Awards declaring gender-neutral categories for their awards show. Instead of “Best Actor” or “Best Actress,” you now have one large, non-binary “Best Performer” category. How woke can you get? Lastly, if you are a wine connoisseur, get ready for this. Did you know that Canada’s wine industry is not inclusive enough? The BIPOC wine-consultants are saying that there is room for improvement when it comes to representation!

Across Canada, concerned parents are protesting their opposition to drag shows for children. However, according to the legacy media, we’re facing a “crisis of hate.” Meanwhile, just days before, a student was suspended and arrested after stating that there are only two genders. Next on the show, Andrew and Sue-Ann review two legacy media hit pieces against Olympic Gold winner Jamie Salé for opposing vaccines and lockdowns and not living up to the standards of the media. Lastly, Ontario Public Health finally admits that a mask mandate in the fall would not have helped despite all the legacy media promoting mask use throughout and even after the pandemic.

The CBC wins the bronze, silver and gold medals for the most outrageous news this week on Fake News Friday. First, the CBC warns that newspapers are under threat by “monopoly capitalism.” What’s their solution? Bring on the government regulators, of course! Instead of changing up a failing business model, the CBC wants more taxpayer subsidies. Next the story Canadians have all been waiting for…the habits of New York vegans. The CBC interviews a man from Manhattan who says recycling and composting is not going far enough so he’s decided to unplug his fridge to save the planet. That $1.2 billion the state broadcaster receives annually is really paying off for Canadians. To bring it home, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre had a humorous exchange with a CBC reporter about the Trudeau government’s failed plan to ban hunting rifles.

The CBC gets the whole legacy media to rally against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith with a story based on anonymous sources and emails that their journalists never even glanced at before publishing their story. To make matters worse, the state broadcaster doubled down, refused to retract their story and ran another story attacking Smith. Next on the show, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa plays the segregation card by inviting a “Black-only” audience to their latest theatrical showing. It’s not racist, it’s inclusive!! Lastly, a woman at the Globe and Mail seems to think that the life of a husband is so great that she can’t help but want to become one too. Yes, women can be husbands too apparently.

If you got your news only from legacy media outlets, you’d probably have no idea that two Trudeau cabinet ministers were at the World Economic Forum. That’s because the legacy media in Canada completely ignored the WEF this year. On the other hand, independent media outlets like True North were on the ground in Davos covering the issues that matter to you and challenging the world’s elites. Where was the legacy media? Why aren’t they covering this important event? Tune into a special WEF edition of Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton. 3:33 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Journalists at the Toronto Star completely misrepresented a doctor who pushed back against lockdowns and vaccine mandates. The leftist outlet misquoted Dr. Matt Strauss and painted him in a completely negative light. It’s no wonder people are skeptical of the legacy media. Next, we can always rely on the CBC to publish something we can laugh at. An RCMP officer is being investigated for daring to criticize the prime minister on his satirical website “Church of Trudeau.” Lastly on the show, the state broadcaster puts out one of its most confusing opinion pieces ever. In this one, the author writes about her Christmas tree and how she’s releasing it– and herself– from the bondage of colonization… What?

With less than a week into the new year, the knives are already out for Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre after he apparently didn’t go far enough in denouncing the anti-Trudeau flags from the Freedom Convoy. Even though he clearly stated that he isn’t a fan of them, the “experts” are saying he is stoking divisions. Next on the show, the CBC lazily illustrates wealth inequality by releasing its annual attack on Canadians who make too much money. Not only that, but they have a solution, just add another tax! Lastly, a public servant who has worked from home during the pandemic criticizes the government’s hybrid work model that will ask employees to return to the office for two days a week. Work? On no!

2022 is coming to an end – what better way to welcome the new year than awarding the Fake News Awards! From a sustained epidemic of ‘Poilievre Derangement Syndrome’ that took over the legacy media, to the systemic racism of crossword puzzles, to the several hate crime hoaxes during the Freedom Convoy, we were all subjected to far too much fake news this year. True North Insiders were given the opportunity to pick the worst fake news story of the year and the winner was unanimous.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but Elon Musk is living rent free in the heads of leftists in Canada. From MPs to legacy media journalists, they just can’t grasp the idea of Musk owning Twitter. Plus, a Liberal MP fails to understand the purpose of her government’s own bill, C-18, the Online News Act. This week, Lisa Hepfner claimed C-18 was preventing big tech companies from stealing stories from news outlets. And everybody laughed at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh after he claimed he was going to be prime minister one day. It’s Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton and Sue-Ann Levy!

This week on Fake News Friday a legacy media journalist at the Toronto Star looks down on independent journalists by comparing her work to performing surgery and the leader of the NDP once again confronts Canada’s “ongoing genocide” against Indigenous peoples and wants to confront the same government he’s guilty of supporting for years. Also on deck, a face mask writes an intimate love letter to its owner hoping to get back together for the winter season and after hours of watching television, “researchers” have found that the hit Discovery channel program “Shark Week” is not diverse enough!

Be it resolved, don't trust the mainstream media. That was the subject of a recent Munk debate in Toronto which saw audience members thoroughly reject the half-hearted defence of legacy media. A majority of the audience went into the evening against the resolution – declaring their trust in establishment media. But by the end of the evening, 39% of the vote had shifted and the room overwhelmingly sided against legacy media. Also on the show, CTV News repeats Chinese propaganda about Zero Covid, a legacy media journalist gets triggered by the sight of the word "freedom" on a sweater and CBC Comedy publishes an insanely cringeworthy piece of content.

Last week, True North reported on how the Edmonton Downtown Business Association’s Holiday Light Up event won’t have a giant Christmas tree and how the City of Edmonton is refusing to step in to provide a tree due to the environmental impact. In response, the Canadian Press is reporting how the association and the mayor are now victims of “racist attacks.” The only problem? Nobody knows what these “racist attacks” actually are. Plus, Global News is freaking out about how Shopify is refusing to cut ties with online organization Libs of TikTok because the group doesn’t align with Global’s preferred political views. And, the Globe and Mail publishes an op-ed about how socializing after work is not inclusive of women and other marginalized groups. Such bravery.

Another international trip for Trudeau, another embarrassing moment for Canadians. This week, Chinese president Xi Jinping publicly criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for allegedly leaking details of their conversation to the media. While international media outlets are reporting the incident accurately, those in Canada’s legacy media are rushing to defend Canada’s prime minister – even going as far as suggesting the public incident means “Trudeau is doing his job.” Plus, a Toronto Star columnist wants to hear more about “racism and hate crimes” during the Emergencies Act hearings. And, Canada’s state broadcaster claims crosswords are now racist. Yes, you read that correctly.

True North’s Sue-Ann Levy joins us for our favourite time of the week – it’s Fake News Friday! Here are this week’s awful takes, skewed coverage and the worst examples of fake news in the legacy media. Elon Musk has taken over Twitter and some Canadian media members are having a complete meltdown over the idea of paying $8 to become a verified user on Twitter. One journalist even went as far as suggesting Musk should pay him to stay on Twitter. What a time to be alive! And as the Emergencies Act hearings continue, Canadians can depend on the legacy media for their skewed coverage of the inquiry. Plus, as teachers in Ontario refuse to do their jobs and defy the Ford government’s back-to-work legislation, the legacy media suddenly cares about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Where was the media’s outrage during the pandemic? It’s Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton and Sue-Ann Levy! Tune in now! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a tight race, Winnipeg elected a new mayor this week – Glen Murray! No wait – Scott Gillingham! CTV News Winnipeg incorrectly declared Murray as the winner. After realizing its mistake, CTV had to retract its tweet after pushing literally fake news. Plus, Ontario Premier Doug Ford gets caught with his pants on fire after it was revealed the Public Order Emergency Commission repeatedly requested that he testify before the Public Order Emergency Commission. And to cap the show off – the legacy media loses their minds about RCMP officers wearing a Thin Blue Line patch. Yep, you guessed it — it’s racist or something.

Reuters tries to fact-check a video reposted by True North where a Pfizer executive admits that its Covid vaccine was not tested for its ability to prevent transmission before hitting the market. The Public Order Emergency Commission is well underway and so far nothing has been brought forward proving the government needed to use the Emergencies Act… but that hasn’t stopped the legacy media from having the worst takes possible. Lastly, Pierre Poilievre is in the news again… this time because he doesn’t want to attend a dinner party held by the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Yup, the same press gallery who never fail to spin his words or heckle him during pressers. It’s no wonder he doesn’t want to go.

After Danielle Smith vowed to protect the rights of unvaccinated Albertans, journalists, politicians and academics slammed her as a "toddler", and as "racist". On this week's episode of Fake News Friday, Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner dive into the very best of fake news in Canada this week. CTV News published a story earlier this week quoting a UN Climate official who said that the war in Ukraine is a "blessing" for climate.The Toronto District school board is cancelling halloween this year. It's very important not to trigger anyone with the word "halloween" given how awful it is. Also on the show, woke American ice cream company Ben and Jerry's decided that they wanted to meddle in local Canadian democracy by imploring Canadians to reject the "far-right" in upcoming school board elections.

It’s Fake News Friday and once again the legacy media is hounding Pierre Poilievre more than they appear to be holding the government to account. Global News wrote an entire news story about Youtube tags used in Poilievre’s videos in an effort to make the case that Poilievre is appealing to “male supremacy” and “extremist” groups. Not to be outdone, the National Observer wants Canadians to know that when Conservatives “stand with farmers” over Trudeau’s fertilizer reduction scheme, Conservatives and even True North are actually just pushing disinformation. The CBC has once again given Canadians something none of us asked for – a new program called Lido TV focused on colonialism, racism and privilege. At first glance, it appears to be a children’s show, but apparently the producers at the CBC think a talking tomato discussing colonialism will appeal to Canadian adults. To wrap up the show, the once-funny CBC program ‘This Hour has 22 Minutes’ announced that for the show’s 30th season they will be addressing racism and inflation. How exciting!

Surfs up, dudes! It’s National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Day! To commemorate this special day, several “Indigiqueer” artists have decided to perform drag shows for reconciliation. Yep, you read that right. Plus, this week, legacy media journalists rushed to defend Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s planned payroll tax, claiming that it isn’t really a tax even though it really looks like a tax. It’s a retirement savings plan, apparently. And what do the Iran protests, Quebec’s Bill 21 and the election of Italy’s Georgia Meloni have in common? They’re all examples of oppressive patriarchy according to one Star columnist. …What? Lastly, we’re being accused of being “far right” again. This time, because we reported on the fact a West Lincoln councillor was punished for attending the Freedom Convoy and is now taking the township to court. Tune into Fake News Friday on True North!

While media outlets around the world ridiculed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his antics in the UK, legacy media outlets in Canada all came to the defence of the singing prime minister. That media bailout sure is paying off eh? Plus, CTV News skews polling data and misleads Canadians about the popularity of the Trudeau Liberals.And a Hill Times columnist celebrates the death of Queen Elizabeth II. With a lot on their plates, Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner try to make sense of these wild stories and unpack the most unhinged takes of the week. Tune into Fake News Friday on True North!

The legacy media’s knives are out for Pierre Poilievre since winning the Conservative leadership race less than one week ago. From heckling the Carleton MP during his first presser to criticizing his move into the official residence of the Leader of the Offical Opposition, it’s clear Poilievre Derangement Syndrome is back with a vengeance! This week on Fake News Friday, Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner look into the legacy media’s most ridiculous takes on Poilievre’s win and their rush to defend Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Also on the show, the legacy media rallies behind the need for King Charles II (not III) to address colonialism and reparations. This may prove to be difficult considering he hasn’t been around since the 17th Century! Tune into Fake News Friday on True North! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner! This week, the CBC attempted to debunk the “conspiracy theory” that a London facility was producing crickets for human consumption. Unfortunately for the state broadcaster, the facility’s developers acknowledge that crickets are in fact being made for humans. Whoops –another failed attempt by the CBC to debunk a “conspiracy theory.” Next up on the cancellation block is – surprise, surprise – Winston Churchill. According to an op-ed in the CBC, the leader who defeated the rise of fascism in Europe has “outdated views” and should no longer be commemorated as per the standards of 2022. Lastly, news that really matters to Canadians – do Nanaimo bars have flour in them? This week, Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre was blasted for promoting the story of a baker who’s expenses for flour, eggs and butter has risen due to inflation, making it harder to bake Canada’s national treat: Nanaimo bars. Time for some top-tier journalisming to figure out if these tasty treats have flour! Tune in to Fake News Friday on True North! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week’s episode of Fake News Friday, Harrison Faulkner and Rupa Subramanya look at Global News’ deep-dive into the alleged threat of the “far right” in Canada. Their journalisming revealed that everybody is “far right” apparently. From a single photograph between Pierre Poilievre and a controversial podcaster, Global News has concluded that Poilievre is actually a far-right politician in disguise. Not only that, but Global News claims that podcasters are “dangerous sources of misinformation” and are apparently a threat to democracy. On a sillier note, Wendy’s is siding with Lisa LaFlamme. That’s right, the fast-food chain changed their logo to a girl with grey hair in solidarity with the fired CTV host. ….Alrighty then.

It’s Fake News Friday! This week, True North’s Harrison Faulkner hosts the show and is joined by Rupa Subramanya!This week, instead of reporting on news that matters to Canadians, so-called journalists in the legacy media made themselves the centre of attention. The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) released a list a of demands to the police after allegedly receiving online threats. Threats are of course unacceptable, but where was the outrage from the CAJ when independent journalists were being assaulted by police during the Freedom Convoy? Why isn’t the CAJ up in arms about the fact that two-sitting elected officials attacked Rupa for uncovering the government’s political vaccine mandates? Plus, the legacy media’s fear mongering about Pierre Poilievre continues – this time, a Toronto Star columnist claims Poilievre is fuelling “Christian nationalism.” Give us a break…Tune into Fake News Friday with Harrison Faulkner and Rupa Subramanya!

Poilievre Derangement Syndrome is running at an all-time high!This week, multiple legacy media outlets claimed Canadians were scared of Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre because former prime minister Stephen Harper endorsed the Carleton MP to become leader. Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner discuss why these reports and polls can’t be trusted.Plus, a Globe and Mail columnist says the World Economic Forum’s claim that “you will own nothing and be happy” is apparently “misinformation.”And the Toronto Star runs a Facebook ad, claiming their a “trusted news source” and gets absolutely roasted by Canadians.Tune into this week’s edition of Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner!

After a month of criss-crossing the country for photo opportunities while simultaneously increasing his carbon footprint, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he is taking a two-week vacation in Costa Rica. This is of course a legitimate news story, but according to some in the legacy media, we should just leave Trudeau alone and let him deserve his “well-deserved” break. Plus, the legacy media continues to ignore a bombshell story by True North’s Rupa Subramanya, which revealed that the Trudeau government’s travel mandates were based on politics, not science. The CBC published an op-ed, arguing that electric vehicles are not enough to address climate change. We will now have to get rid of cars altogether. When will the climate madness end? And to wrap up, the Toronto Sun falls for an obviously scripted pro wrestling storyline and reports it as news.

This week, the Trudeau government and the legacy media were up in arms about a flag being draped over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, calling it an act of “desecration.” Where was the outrage when statues of Sir John A Macdonald and Queen Victoria were toppled and vandalized by radical activists?Plus, remember that time when the Freedom Convoy protested Pope Francis when he was in Canada? Us neither. Although the media claimed it was going to happen, it never actually happened in reality. That’s literally fake news!And this week, the CBC somehow wrote an entire story about farming without a single mention of the threat of the Trudeau government’s fertilizer reduction scheme and its effect on farmers across Canada.

It’s Fake News Friday with Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner! In Canada, travellers on commercial trains are still required by law to wear a mask at all times. However, if you’re the prime minister participating in a photo-op on a train, no mask is needed. Does that make sense to you? Probably not but as Canadians have been told since the start of the pandemic – trust Trudeau’s ever-changing Covid science! Plus, Joe Rogan blasts Trudeau, calling him a “creepy dictator” and of course, the Tru-Anon gang comes to the defence of Canada’s prime minister. The state broadcaster gives Canadians some timely financial advice as inflation hits a record-high 8.1% – just ask for a raise or get a better job. Stop being poor, obviously. And finally – for the low price of $58, you can dismantle white supremacy by buying a box of vegetables. Tune into Fake News Friday! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show! This week, Candice and Harrison Faulkner discuss why Canadians no longer have trust in our national institutions and why the blame should be put on the institutions and the legacy media – despite their best attempts to convince you otherwise. The legacy media and other government institutions have failed to hold government to account and failed to serve the interests of Canadians. Also on the show this week, some MPs are too afraid to walk outside because of mean tweets – so much so that they are now requesting “panic buttons” to be able to alert local authorities to come to their aid if they feel they are in danger. Why didn’t MPs need “panic buttons” after a terrorist stormed parliament? Why have our politicians become so meek and mild? Finally, a CBC op-ed writer whines about the fact that men can no longer compete in women’s swimming competitions and believes that Canada is “excluding” men from competing against women in sports.

The majority of Canadians did not vote for Justin Trudeau in the last election. In fact, the Liberals won with the smallest share of the vote in Canadian history. It’s clear many Canadians do not approve of Trudeau running the country – this means the next Conservative leader has a very good chance of beating Trudeau in the next election. However, the same was said during the last three elections. Conservatives have come very close in every election since 2015 but have fallen short in dethroning Trudeau. What’s the path to victory for the Conservatives? In recent weeks, we’ve started hearing the same failed strategy from the failed backrooms of the party. They argue that the party should become more like the Liberals and NDP – embrace leftist progressive ideologies in order to win. They think the Conservatives should be fiscally prudent and socially woke. These strategists are wrong. We just need to look at how poorly Erin O’Toole performed in the last election to see that this strategy did not work. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by pollster Hamish Marshall to discuss why the Red Tory/Blue Liberal strategy just doesn’t work, why O’Toole failed despite his best attempts to woo leftist voters and what the next Conservative leader needs to do in order to win.

It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show! Guest host Andrew Lawton and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss this week’s most egregious examples of fake news in the legacy media. By now, most Canadians know the Trudeau government relied on the CBC’s misleading reports to justify invoking the Emergencies Act to quash the Freedom Convoy. This week, during the committee on the Emergencies Act, Conservative MP Larry Brock grilled Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland for relying on the CBC’s fake news but Freeland repeatedly refused to answer questions. This exchange went viral, but instead of apologizing for misleading Canadians – the CBC published an editorial and stood by its faulty journalism. Plus, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez repeats the Trudeau government’s mantra – “Everyone who disagrees with me is pushing misinformation!” As the government rushes its online censorship bill through committee without debate, Rodriguez claims Conservatives are pushing misinformation about Bill C-11 – despite the fact that the CRTC confirmed the online censorship bill gives the government the power to regulate user-generated content. And as more Canadians tune into independent media outlets like True North, trust in the legacy media is at an all-time low. Instead of criticizing the legacy media for its out-of-touch journalism, Justin Trudeau’s former top advisor Gerald Butts relies on a Twitter thread by an unhinged leftist activist and attacks True North.

Every day in the news, Canadians see reminders of the fraying and social decay of our civil society. Unfortunately, our leaders in government are drawing all the wrong conclusions. Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, we discuss an issue that represents this social decay in Canadian society – death, suicide and our government’s role in not just facilitating, but expanding and advocating for euthanasia. Canada is among a handful of countries in the world to offer euthanasia services, and now – after 2 years of the Covid-19 pandemic which has resulted in a growing mental health crisis – the Trudeau government wants to expand doctor-assisted suicide to those suffering from mental health conditions. Joining Candice on the show today is Angelina Ireland, the president of the board of the Delta Hospice Society (DHS), a non-profit organization that promotes life-affirming palliative care. In 2020, the DHS refused to offer doctor-assisted suicide despite the BC health authority making the practice mandatory at all publicly funded hospice centers. The BC government eventually pulled DHS’ funding and seized the Irene Thomas Hospice and the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care where the DHS had been operating since 1991. Angelina has been an outspoken advocate against doctor-assisted suicide and is a defender of natural end-of-life values. She joins The Candice Malcolm Show to discuss the DHS’ tumultuous fight against the BC government, why she’s personally opposed to euthanasia and why this issue should matter to all Canadians.

The legacy media hasn’t stopped criticizing Pierre Poilievre’s promise to fire the Governor of the Bank of Canada. Journalists have labeled Poilievre’s plans as “outrageous”, “irresponsible” and “reckless”. Even one of Poilievre’s own caucus colleagues, Ed Fast, jumped on the media bandwagon to criticize his comments.But is Pierre Poilievre right about the Bank of Canada?Turns out, even the Bank of Canada admits that their policies have led to inflation and economic instability — the heart of Poilievre’s critiques.Without skipping a beat or acknowledging they were wrong about inflation, the media has pivoted its critiques to the broader Conservative Party. The media is now questioning the party’s membership numbers and criticizing the leadership candidates for even reporting their own numbers.Dr. Ian Brodie, the chair of the Leadership Election Organizing Committee and former Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, joins Candice on the show today. They discuss how the party will handle the record 600,000+ members and how the leadership election will be managed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Trudeau government invoked the Emergencies Act to quash the peaceful Freedom Convoy, they made a number of wild claims to rationalize its use of the never-before-used act. Since then, Trudeau’s narrative about why the government needed these unprecedented powers has crumbled – the convoy was not funded by foreign donors or terrorists, the protesters had nothing to do with the arson attempt in Ottawa and to this date – not a single police force has confirmed the government’s claim that the police requested the government to invoke the act. This week, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s deputy minister says Mendicino was “misunderstood” when he repeatedly said law enforcement requested the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act. Fortunately for the Trudeau government, they can count on the legacy media to cover for them. Plus, Poilievre Derangement Syndrome reaches a new level as the Poilievre campaign announced it signed up over 300,000 members. Unsurprisingly, the legacy media is not covering this news in the same celebratory way they covered Trudeau’s leadership run in 2013. Further, the Treasury Board of Canada wants you to use proper pronouns when composing emails . Forget about out-of-control government spending or the inflation crisis – this is the top priority for the government! Plus, some exciting developments from True North as we launched two new podcasts this week AND some personal news from Candice Malcolm! It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show!

The membership cutoff for the Conservative leadership race came and went last Friday, and the numbers are staggering. The party has announced that over 600,000 Canadians are now members of the party and eligible to vote in the upcoming leadership race in September. Front-runner Pierre Poilievre’s campaign claims that over half of those – 311,958 – were purchased on his campaign website. These numbers are unprecedented in Canadian history. For comparison, 174,404 Canadians voted in the 2020 CPC leadership race. In the 2017 CPC leadership race, 141,000 Canadians voted. And, the last time the Liberals held a leadership race – in 2013 when they selected Justin Trudeau – 104,552 Canadians voted. At the time, the media were celebrating Trudeau’s ability to recruit members and giddily invoking “Trudeau-mania.” On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by pollster Hamish Marshall to break down the numbers, cut through the media spin and talk about how this is very, very bad news for the Liberal-NDP coalition government.

On June 6th, 1944, 14,000 Canadian soldiers would take part in one of Canada’s most impressive – and consequential – military operations – D-Day. Canadian soldiers from 4 regiments – the Queen’s Own Rifles in Toronto, The Royal Winnipeg Rifles of Manitoba, the North Shore Regiment from New Brunswick and the Regina Rifles from Saskatchewan – would form the 3rd Canadian Infantry Battalion tasked with securing Juno Beach in Normandy, France for the Allies. 359 Canadian men made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for freedom on that day, and many more Canadians would die in battle in the following months of intense fighting. One man managed to survive it all — Mr. Jim Parks of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Mr. Jim Parks was part of the very first wave of Canadians to land on Juno Beach, having had to swim ashore without a rifle after his landing vehicle exploded. Parks and his fellow soldiers would successfully take Juno Beach and push the Germans back through Normandy having to face multiple waves of German counterattacks. Parks would play a key role in the liberation of the Netherlands and eventually find himself in Germany, having successfully pushed the Germans back all the way from the Western coast of France into total defeat by the war’s end. On this special episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Jim Parks – a true Canadian hero – tells his story. Jim discusses what it was like to land on Juno Beach, the details of the fighting that would ensue after the landings and what it was like to return home and settle down into normal life. Jim ends the podcast with a special message to young Canadians.

The legacy media has a double standard when it comes to covering protests in Canada. According to the media, protesters on the political right are “angry and racist” but protesters on the left are righteous and worthy of interviews. Plus, a recent protest in Brampton debunks the media’s fake and dishonest narrative of “angry and racist” protests targeting leftist politicians. Plus, a Liberal MP delivers a speech in the House of Commons celebrating “vaginas and vulvas,” but doesn’t say “woman” once in her entire grotesque speech. But this isn’t the first time the Trudeau government has failed to define what a woman is. And amid alarming stats that Canada’s fertility rate is declining, the legacy media celebrates and claims “it’s better for the society and the planet.” It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show! Candice and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss this week’s worst examples of fake news in the legacy media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s only Thursday, but this has been Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wokest week ever. Trudeau began the week by imposing a sweeping ban on handguns in Canada, which specifically targets law-abiding firearms owners. The next day, the Trudeau government decriminalized the possession of heroin, fentanyl and other hard drugs in British Columbia. Finally, Trudeau extended Covid travel restrictions and refuses to acknowledge that the pandemic is over. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss Trudeau’s extremely woke week. They also discuss whether decriminalization of hard drugs is the right approach to combat the drug crisis in Canada. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the past two years, Canadians have suffered through some of the strictest lockdowns in North America. While some restrictions have been lifted, many Canadians are trapped in Covid purgatory. Unvaccinated Canadians aren’t able to board a plane or a train, many have lost their livelihood and the federal government refuses to lift travel mandates that have caused chaos at Canada’s airports. While Canadians continue to feel the chilling effects of heavy-handed government measures, the elites remain maddeningly out of touch with the concerns and anxieties of Canadians. How did we get here? What can be done to rebuild our civil society? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm show, Candice is joined by Dr. Matt Strauss, the acting Medical Officer of Health for the Haldimand-Norfolk region in Ontario. Candice and Dr. Strauss discuss the unreported stories of the pandemic in Canada, the unintended consequences of the government’s lockdowns and pushing back against the lockdown authoritarians.

It’s been one year since the Kamloops Indian Band made a shocking allegation — that it had “discovered” 215 unmarked graves that belong to children who had attended the local residential school. This allegation set off a whirlwind of events: exaggerated headlines, erroneous claims of mass graves, accusations of genocide, international shame and contrition, more discoveries from other bands, genuine remorse and sadness from all Canadians and eager progressives competing over who could use the most hyperbolic anti-Canadian rhetoric. But is any of this true? Has any of the claims been verified, corroborated or confirmed? On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by professor Tom Flanagan who has been diligently researching this topic for much of his career. His recent research is in direct conflict with the media narrative, and he maintains his position that the story of the unmarked graves is “the greatest fake news story in Canadian history.” Dr. Flanagan breaks down all the facts of the case, explains everything we know about the school — including the fact that most of the teachers were First Nations — and discusses how this narrative got so removed from the truth. You won’t see a conversation like this anywhere else in the Canadian media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Trudeau Liberals invented a news story that “racist slurs” were being hurled at attendees of a Trudeau fundraiser in Surrey, BC. Unsurprisingly, the legacy media immediately ran the story. There was only one problem – it was never true. Countless legacy media outlets had to backtrack and change their news stories after being called out for fake news. Plus, it’s been one year since the apparent discovery of unmarked graves found near residential schools and the story still hasn’t been verified. But that hasn’t stopped leftist activists and politicians from continuing to falsely accuse Canada of committing “genocide.” And in the wake of a horrific mass shootings in the US, the left in Canada is exploiting tragedies and importing US culture wars for their own benefit.

Conservative Party members had their last chance to watch the leadership candidates debate each other, as they gathered on Wednesday night in Laval, Quebec. Unfortunately, many Canadians didn’t bother tuning in because it was in French. Despite the fact that half the candidates aren’t fluent in French and that Quebeckers traditionally don’t vote for Conservatives, the party went forward with this spectacle and continues to give equal weight to French and English languages. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice goes over the highlights of the French debate, debunks the idea that a Conservative leader has to be bilingual and argues that the idea of a separate French debate is a huge disservice to Canadians.

A lot of ink is being spilled trying to analyze why Premier Kenney failed to maintain the confidence of the United Conservative Party and was forced to resign. Can we really just blame it on the conservative base being angry and reactionary? On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by former Alberta Finance Minister and longtime conservative scholar Dr. Ted Morton. Candice and Ted discuss the political culture in Alberta, the many missteps made by Premier Kenney, the bad cards he drew and they discuss the future of the party.

World leaders, CEO’s and the global elite are in Davos, Switzerland to lecture others on how to live their lives. Panellists at the World Economic Forum (WEF) are discussing a wide-range of issues, including how to fight climate change, promoting equity and other leftist causes.There have been a lot of discussion about the WEF in recent weeks, including its impact on Canada. But rather than take the concerns of Canadians seriously, the legacy media has characterized any criticism of the WEF as a conspiracy theory – including Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre. Over the weekend, Poilievre told his supporters that he would ban cabinet ministers from attending the WEF. Journalists in the legacy media immediately descended on Poilievre and accused him of pushing conspiracy theories.What’s really going on at the WEF? What are the conspiracy theories and what are the facts?On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses why Canada’s legacy media is wrong to ignore and chastise those that take issue with the WEF. Plus, True North’s Andrew Lawton is on the ground at Davos and joins the show to tell us what it’s like at the conference. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Poilievre derangement syndrome” has taken hold of legacy media reporters this week, as they attempted to tie Poilievre’s support of the Freedom Convoy to the horrific Buffalo shooting. Poilievre’s rivals, Patrick Brown and Jean Charest, couldn’t help but pile on. The Brown campaign even went as far as to alert all Conservative members that a “high-profile” Poilievre supporter used “alarming language” that closely resembles the idiotic “white replacement theory.” But it doesn’t stop there. The legacy media also attacked Poilievre over holding and publicly disclosing his cryptocurrency assets while promoting the benefits of decentralized currency during his campaign. The problem for the legacy media is that not only was it not a secret that Poilievre held crypto assets, it is entirely legal and there are actually more Liberal MPs that disclosed crypto assets than Conservatives. Plus, the format of the Conservative Leadership Debate continues to make headlines but for all the wrong reasons. This week, a Globe and Mail columnist complained that the candidates do not consume Canadian arts and culture. Have you ever watched Canadian TV shows such as “Call My Agent!” or “Orphan Black”? Don’t fret – nobody has. Candice and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss these stories and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jason Kenney has stepped down as leader of the United Conservative Party and announced his intention to step down as Premier of Alberta after an incredibly close leadership review vote. Kenney technically won the vote: 51% of members voted to keep him in place as leader and Premier. But Kenney knew that wasn’t enough support and that his personal unpopularity was dragging down the party. He did the honourable thing, and resigned to make way for a new leader. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks down the details of how Kenney lost control of his own party, provides analysis of the four major reasons why Kenney lost, and discusses how this is bad news for Alberta and the conservative movement across Canada.

Life in Canada is more expensive than ever – inflation is at a 31-year high, gas prices are out of control and the cost of goods and services continues to increase. As it looks more likely Canada is heading into a recession, it doesn’t seem like our politicians care as they continue to spend on frivolous and expensive programs and refuse to reduce spending or taxes. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Michael Campbell, the host of Mike’s Money Talks podcast to discuss Canada’s precarious economic situation. Candice and Mike discuss the root causes of Canada’s sky-high prices, the fact that almost half of Canadians are $200 away from insolvency and what Canadians can do to hunker down and make smart financial decisions.

Politicians and pundits are all talking about cryptocurrency — some are calling it “magic internet money” and alleging that it’s a risky investment. Meanwhile others, such as Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre, claim crypto will enable Canadians to “opt out of inflation.” Who’s telling the truth? As the Canadian economy becomes more uncertain, Canadians want to know what the future holds for decentralized digital currencies. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Matt Spoke, the founder and CEO of Moves, a financial app for gig workers. Candice and Matt discuss the future of cryptocurrencies in Canada, the ongoing debate among conservatives surrounding the value of Bitcoin and why governments around the world are planning to create their own digital currencies.

It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show! This week, Canadians tuned into the Conservative Party’s boring and uneventful leadership debate. We don’t blame you if you tuned out of the debate, but you may have missed the media scrum with candidates after the debate, in which independent media journalists ran circles around so-called reporters from the legacy media. While the legacy media pushed their favourite pet cause – climate change – independent media asked candidates thorough questions to help Canadians get a better understanding of the candidates.Plus, Candice dissects a Canadian Press article about Bill C-69 getting stuck down by an Alberta court and shows you everything wrong with the legacy media’s fake news. And of course, the CBC publishes more awful op-eds to push their far-left world view. Candice and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss these stories and more.
