The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast

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

Why did the Canadian government pass the Emergencies Act last night? There are no border closures, no road blockades, and thanks to a weekend of police brutality and excessive force, there are no protesters or trucks left in Ottawa. Trudeau passed the Emergencies Act to crush dissidence and punish his political foes. And the worst part is, the legacy media are giving him a free pass, parroting and pushing his propaganda and cheering him on. Despite the brutal crackdown in Ottawa (including against journalists) and Trudeau’s best attempts to shut down political dissidence, the freedom convoy lives on! Tune into The Candice Malcolm Show.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ordered the arrest of political dissidents, the freezing of their bank accounts and a complete shut down of downtown Ottawa to end a peaceful, non-violent protest. As the legacy media continue their smear campaign against the freedom convoy, the government is using taxpayer funded Parliament Hill police to guard journalists in the streets, despite no acts of violence being reported against journalists during the protest. Candice Malcolm is joined by True North Producer Harrison Faulkner to discuss the worst legacy media takes of the week and to discuss the latest developments out of Ottawa.

By invoking the Emergencies Act and giving his government sweeping powers, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accidentally revealed how weak he really is. Meanwhile, the legacy media continues to do Trudeau’s bidding by doxxing and harassing individuals who supported the freedom convoy. Despite the Establishment’s desperate attempts to stop the convoy, the truckers continue to win — provinces are dropping their mandates and the convoy is making their voice loud and clear. Candice Malcolm says the freedom convoy will go down as one of the most effective and powerful protests in the history of the western world. Tune into The Candice Malcolm Show.

Why did Trudeau give himself the most drastic and sweeping powers available to a Canadian prime minister? What was his justification for weaponizing war-time measures against peaceful protesters? The short answer is because he hates the truckers. He is using the full power of the state to quash his political enemies. This set’s an incredibly dangerous precedent and marches Canada down a dark path. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by lawyer Ryan O’Connor to discuss what this means for Canada and our liberal democracy.

Why did Justin Trudeau invoke the Emergencies Act? Did the Trucker Convoy movement really warrant drastic and sweeping new federal powers? Using existing powers, courts and judges already stopped the truckers from honking, broke up the blockade on the Ambassador bridge connecting Windsor and Detroit, and seized millions of dollars that had been donated to the truckers. What more does Trudeau want? On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks down the facts leading up to this shocking announcement and outlines the three reasons she thinks are really behind this unprecedented power grab.

It’s Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice is joined by the founder of Rebel News Ezra Levant. Ezra has long been one of Canada’s foremost free speech advocates and one of the fiercest critics of the mainstream media (or as he calls it, the Media Party!) Ezra and Candice talk about the structural flaws that make the media both out of touch and incapable of fairly covering the trucker convoy, PLUS, Ezra gives his prediction on how the convoy and ongoing stand-off will end, what it will mean for Canadians, and what will become of our bitter, angry and damaged Prime Minister.

The truckers are winning, and they won’t stop their protest until Canada goes back to being Canada. Trudeau’s instinct was to dismiss the truckers, and then to demonize them. That is turning out to be one of the most significant political mistakes in recent Canadian history. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by freelance journalist and columnist with the National Post Rupa Subramanya. Unlike most mainstream journalists, Rupa sought to understand the trucker convoy for herself. She went there, she interviewed 100 protesters and she saw something very different than what the media portrayed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The legacy media abandoned all journalistic ethics when it came to covering the Freedom Convoy. There was no honest reporting – just bad faith smears, politically-motivated character assassinations and overly hyperbolic accusations of insurrection and treason. Why did this happen? On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by author and journalist Jonathan Kay. Kay is no conservative, he has progressive sensibilities and even worked with Justin Trudeau to help launch his career as Prime Minister. But Kay is a contrarian who is incredibly critical of the legacy media and the insidious cancel culture-driven ‘woke’ left. They discuss the truckers, the dishonest media, vaccine mandates and lockdowns, Justin Trudeau and the way he’s changed since becoming Prime Minister, and how to reform the political left.

The Truckers for Freedom convoy has more momentum than ever, as cities across Canada saw massive protests this past weekend and into this week. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has successfully united the country – unfortunately for him, Canadians are united against him and this drives the Establishment crazy. The legacy media and Ottawa politicians are pulling out all the stops to end the protest. They attempted to cut the convoy’s funding, increase police presence and continue to demonize Canadians participating in the protest. Candice Malcolm says Canada is experiencing a political realignment – the people VS. the Establishment. And the good news is – the people are winning. Tune into The Candice Malcolm Show!

It’s impossible to divorce Canada’s overzealous encroachments on freedom throughout the pandemic from our rigid government-controlled healthcare system. Politicians get away with unprecedented anti-freedom policies and government overreach because Canadians believe it’s necessary to protect our frail and failing healthcare system. Enough. We need to reform our system, and on today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm is joined by a rural physician and former president of the Ontario Medical Association to discuss the best ways to do just that.

It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show. On today’s show, Candice highlights and analyzes the temper tantrums coming from Ottawa journalists, bureaucrats and Liberal politicians, and contrasts it with the real story on the ground. The peaceful, happy, positive and patriot Freedom Rally continues — unscathed by the smears coming from elites. There couldn’t be a starker contrast between the positive nature of the protests versus the increasingly deranged hateful legacy media coverage of it. Journalists are doing Trudeau’s dirty work, and it’s all backfiring on them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Truckers for Freedom Convoy continues to have a huge impact on Canadians, as provinces begin to loosen its COVID-19 restrictions. The convoy was also the final straw for Erin O’Toole – after waffling on his support for the truckers, Conservative MPs finally had enough and ejected O’Toole as leader on Wednesday. The party will now hold its third leadership race since 2016. Are the Conservatives still united? What’s the future of the Conservatives? On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses what conservative voters are looking for in a leader and some of the potential candidates in the upcoming leadership race.

The province of Ontario under Doug Ford’s premiership is hardly conservative and it is definitely not “for the people.”On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by MPP Roman Baber. He has gone from being one of Doug Ford’s loudest supporters to one his most ardent critics. Baber was ejected from caucus in early 2021 after calling on the premier to put an end to destructive lockdowns. They discuss the draconian lockdown measures, how science contradicts our current health measures and the need for fundamental change in Canadian politics.

Erin O’Toole just missed the political opportunity of his lifetime. He had tens of thousands of disaffected, freedom-loving blue-collar Canadians show up on his doorstep, and he let them down. He wavered, flip-flopped and disrespected the truckers, meanwhile, many of his fellow Conservative MPs attended the rally and passionately defended these truckers and their freedom convoy. The writing was on the wall, and a group of MPs are finally trying to remove him as leader. Will he survive? Does he deserve to lead this party? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm breaks down everything you need to know about the battle to remove O’Toole as leader of the Conservative Party.

On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice says the Trucker Convoy was a huge success and that Canada woke up this morning feeling freer, more united, more optimistic, and more Canadian. This comes despite the best efforts of the legacy media to smear and discredit the protest. Legacy media reporters outed themselves as being aggressively partisan, openly deceitful and ultimately, irrelevant. Candice goes through the most malicious slander peddled by the legacy media, she shows how their reports fell flat, and she explains how this convoy was a turning point for our country.

On this week’s edition of Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice and True North Producer Harrison Faulkner discuss the legacy media’s attempts to discredit the Truckers for Freedom convoy by accusing the truckers of being “extremists” and “far-right.” As celebrities such as Elon Musk, Russel Brand and Joe Rogan endorse the convoy, the legacy media is going into overdrive to discredit, demonize and tarnish the protestors. One outlet even went as far as to warn those that financially support the convoy as potentially financing “domestic terrorism.” Candice and Harrison break down and dissect the worse examples of the legacy media’s fake news.

The Freedom Convoy is uniting and inspiring Canadians. After being complacent and rule-abiding for too long, Canadians have finally reached their breaking point. They’re coming together, ten of thousands of them, to show that they still believe in the ideals of freedom and opportunity in Canada. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice covers the latest from the convoy, including our deranged prime minister and his cheerleaders in the legacy media trying their best to diminish and discredit this incredible movement. They can’t – the movement is too big to ignore and social media shows a side of the protest that the Liberals don’t want you to see: it is a positive, family-friendly, hopeful, courageous, inspiring, legitimate and peaceful protest against government overreach.

On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm discusses a powerful opinion column written by an Ontario teacher on the devastating psychological toll lockdowns have been having on our children. This is an incredibly important piece of journalism, and yet, it was barely noticed by the political class.

The trucker convoy has become the biggest news story in the country. It continues to dominate online, and now the legacy media has come around to paying attention to it, but of course, they demonize and denigrate the unvaccinated truckers. So where does the Conservative leader stand? Does he support the convoy? Will he meet with truckers when they come to Ottawa? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm discusses the ever-evolving media narrative on vaccines, vaccine mandates and an ongoing effort to demonize the unvaccinated – despite the new reality that Omicron affects everyone and the vaccines and vaccine mandates are demonstrably not effective in preventing the spread. With many Conservative MPs voicing support for the truckers and opposing the failed vaccine mandates, where does O’Toole stand? Not even he knows. Learn more about your ad choices.

Freedom rallies and the Truckers for Freedom Convoy both took place over the weekend, and saw tens of thousands of Canadians voicing their opposition to vaccine mandates, forced vaccines and other heavy-handed public health restrictions. But instead of listening to Canadians’ concerns, the elites in the legacy media and our politicians are belittling and demonizing these brave Canadians. True North’s Candice Malcolm says Canadians have had enough and are standing up to tyrannical government restrictions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Canadians are outraged after a Quebec TV show featured children calling for the arrests and forced vaccinations of Canadians who haven’t had COVID shots. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time this TV program used children to promote propaganda. Plus, CTV features guests who call on Spotify to censor popular podcast host Joe Rogan, claiming he spreads “misinformation” and that open debates are problematic. Meanwhile, for once, the CBC doesn’t spread fake news by encouraging Canadians to stock up on tea and lozenges to combat the Omicron variant.

The United Kingdom has announced the end of COVID-19 restrictions – no more masks mandates and no more vaccine mandates. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stressed the importance of individual freedom and said that the government will trust the judgement of the British people. Will the United Kingdom inspire Canadian leaders to do the same or will the pandemic and the endless government-enforced lockdowns continue in Canada?

Last year, some Canadians declared that because of the apparent discovery of unmarked graves near residential schools, Canada was guilty of the worst crimes imaginable and that our country was built on colonialism and genocide. Before we accept the worst accusations levelled against our country, it’s important to learn the facts, consider the context and examine our history with a fair and even-handed approach. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Professor Tom Flanagan. Tom is professor emeritus at the University of Calgary at the school of public policy and recently co-wrote an op-ed about the misleading claims surrounding the residential school narrative. Candice and Tom examine some of the myths perpetuated about residential schools, and discuss some ideas and solutions about how Canada can work towards bringing the living standards of First Nations people up to levels of other Canadians.

The Canadian response to COVID-19 has been confusing, contradictory, heavy-handed and ultimately, ineffective at ending this pandemic. What started off as “14 days to flatten to curve,” has turned into two years of endless lockdowns and moving goalposts. But is there an alternative? Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by the Chair of the Strategic Advisory Committee for the Canadian COVID Care Alliance Deanna McLeod. The Canadian COVID Care Alliance is a group of health care professionals that publish and aggregate medical information about COVID-19, COVID treatments and vaccinations for educational purposes. Candice and Deanna discuss Canada’s failed approach and alternative measures Canadians can take to get out of the pandemic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The COVID-19 goalposts are moving once again, as Quebec announces it will be requiring three shots to be considered fully vaccinated. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Montreal litigator-turned YouTuber David Freiheit, who runs the popular channel Viva Frei. David doesn’t mince words about the state of things in Canada, leveling criticism at the corrupted legacy media, the cowardice judges and courts who fail to protect our Charter rights and freedoms, and worst of all, the petty authoritarian politicians who keep pushing us further and further towards tyranny.

The pearl-clutching liberal elite in the legacy media revisit their favourite topic – accusing Donald Trump of creating every problem under the sun and pretending that everyone who supports him is a racist far-right terrorist. On today’s episode of Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice and True North journalist and producer Harrison Faulkner try to parse out the logic in a series of anti-Trump derangement screeds over on the Globe and Mail editorial page.

Justin Trudeau is unravelling before our eyes. His rhetoric is increasingly angry and unhinged, and his policy ideas – including the insanely authoritarian suggestion of forced vaccination – are equal parts radical and delusional. This presents the perfect opportunity for the Leader of the Opposition – Conservative MP Erin O’Toole. O’Toole could be out there striking a different tone, showing a different path for Canadians and demonstrating a more moderate approach. But instead, Erin O’Toole seems to be absent from the federal scene. We didn’t hear any opposition from him over the latest lockdowns, Trudeau’s lashing out at unvaccinated Canadians or even on Trudeau’s health minister suggesting it’s time for a forced vaccination campaign. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by True North journalist and senior researcher Cosmin Dzsurdzsa to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices.

Canada continues to creep into unventured territory with regards to the powers we’ve given our government in the last two years. What was a conspiracy theory only a few months ago is now becoming reality – the CBC and the Trudeau government are suddenly talking about forced vaccine policies. The Trudeau government continues to demonize the unvaccinated and claim that the only way out of this pandemic is through vaccinations. But as hospitals fill up with vaccinated and unvaccinated Canadians, it’s clear this is no longer the pandemic of the unvaccinated. As Candice Malcolm explains on The Candice Malcolm Show, this must be our red line. Every Canadian needs to push back against this insane and radically authoritarian idea.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to vilify Canadians who don’t agree with him. Recently, he’s upped his rhetoric against the unvaccinated – calling them “extremists, misogynists and racists” and blaming them for the unintended consequences of heavy-handed government lockdowns. Is Trudeau coming unhinged? Why isn’t the legacy media addressing his hateful message and calling him out for dividing Canadians and scapegoating the unvaccinated? Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice speaks to seasoned journalist Lorrie Goldstein about Trudeau’s strategy, his rhetoric, and his grasp on reality, as well as the general failings of the Canadian media to inform the public and hold the government to account.

A long-time CBC radio and television producer publicly quits her position at the state broadcaster in rage, and details the rise of woke, race-obsessed identity politics at the CBC in a scathing column on Substack. Plus, the state broadcaster gets caught red-handed publishing fake news (again) – this time, claiming Canadians don’t like Alberta and Albertans. However, the facts tell a much different story that the CBC wanted to hide. It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show!

First, Justin Trudeau called the unvaccinated “extremist, misogynistic and racist.” Now he’s blaming them for queues and rationing in our centrally-planned state-run healthcare system. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice examines the data to show that Trudeau is dead wrong in blaming the unvaccinated for the latest surge of omicron, the lockdowns and the impact on our socialized healthcare system. She also looks at his angry and derisive comments towards Quebec influencers who were partying on a private flight to Mexico, and points out the absurd hypocrisy coming from Mr. Blackface Party Animal who has frequently been caught breaking his own covid rules.

An Ontario Divisional Court has ruled that forcing Ontario teachers to pass a Grade 9 multiple choice math test is unconstitutional and racially biased. This is a prime example of judicial activism (judges acting like politicians) and the woke ideology seeping into every aspect of our lives. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm dissects this absurd decision and describes how divisive identity politics puts race above everything else. Rather than putting race at the front of every conversation, we should focus on the things that matter about a person – their character, their competency, their effort and their abilities. Making math teachers know math is not racist. It’s common sense. It’s about finding competent, qualified people to teach the next generation of Canadians. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and BC have all announced lockdown measures to curb the spread of Omicron. It’s been nearly two years since we were told “14 days to flatten the curve” and it doesn’t seem like we’ve learned anything. Two things are clear: First, our healthcare system is broken. It needs to be reformed and overhauled. Second, if vaccine mandates worked – and keeping unvaccinated Canadians out of schools, hospitals, restaurants, bars and gyms – then we wouldn’t need to lock them down. On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice says that this should be a wake up call: reform our healthcare system, kill the unconstitutional vaccine mandate system and end the lockdowns once and for all.

2021 was a great year for our organization! We broke big stories, exposed corruption and abuse in the government, travelled around the country to tell different stories and interviewed the top newsmakers and elected officials in the conservative movement. On top of all this, we massively expanded our audience and hired several new reporters, producers and contributors. At a time when the legacy media is failing, laying off journalists and begging the government for bailouts, True North is growing at a serious clip! That’s because, unlike the legacy media, we’re willing to criticize the Trudeau Liberals, fight back against Woke insanity, expose excessive government overreach and tell the other side of the story – no matter how politically correct it may be. It’s also because we have the best audience in Canada!

Will Premier Jason Kenney survive a leadership review and lead the party into the next election? Or will he be ousted and replaced by Brian Jean, Danielle Smith or someone else?

On a special Christmas edition of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Rev. Majed El Shafie. Majed is a refugee who survived torture and persecution in Egypt because of his Christian faith. He now runs One Free World International, a Canadian human rights organization that saves persecuted Christians. Christians remain the most persecuted religious group on the planet. So why do politicians like Justin Trudeau and the legacy media ignore their plight? Majed has some choice words for our Prime Minister -- he says it’s time to ditch political correctness, stop pandering and start defending our values and helping people in need, regardless of their creed or faith. We encourage all of our listeners and viewers to support Majid and the important work that he does. Learn more here: https://ofwi.org/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’re living in post-modern, post-nationalist times. The secular value of the separation of church and state has been taken to an extreme in Canada -- and has led to the complete removal of religious symbols, concepts and festivities in the public square. Why do Christians get criticized and denigrated, ignored and erased? Can we completely erase Christianity from our modern society? Can we divorce our values, our norms, our morality from their Judeo-Christian roots? Should we? The political left enthusiastically says ‘yes,’ but there is also a growing appetite for learning more about the traditions, norms, values and attitudes that help build our modern day society. For a special Christmas week edition to The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Ray Pennings of Cardus to discuss the importance of Christmas and the value of Christianity in modern times.

When it comes to reporting on COVID in Canada, the legacy media are failing Canadians. Journalists don’t report the facts, they only push a narrative – even if it means burying important facts. The result is that journalists sound like government propagandists and their reports look like vaccine infomercials. Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Toronto Sun comment editor and columnist Anthony Furey to discuss the media groupthink when it comes to COVID. Throughout the pandemic, Furey has been willing to go against the grain, report inconvenient facts and push back against media nonsense – and as a result, some legacy journalists have attacked him for it.

It often doesn’t feel like Conservative parties in Canada are very good at articulating, defending or preserving conservatives values and principles – things like limited government, freedom of speech, economic freedoms, religious freedoms and defending our way of life, our values and the rule of law. Why does it always seem like the Conservatives are conceding rather than opposing, and embracing Leftism rather than fighting against it? Today on The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by former Conservative Party Leader and Saskatchewan MP Andrew Scheer.

Wit and humour are political virtues, and they’re some of the best tools we can use in fighting back against abuses in power. Politicians and powerful people deserve to be mocked and ridiculed – it’s part of how we hold them accountable! Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by a Harvard-educated Canadian professor Travis Smith to discuss what we can learn from the ancient Greeks and Enlightenment philosophers, and why political philosophy is still useful today. They discuss the use of humour in politics, the success and failure of political comedians and the problem of today’s political movements driven by anger and indignation.

Bill C-4, the ban on so-called Conversation Therapy, passed with the unanimous support of all parties in the House of Commons. But it didn’t just ban therapy for children and adults confused about their sexual orientation – the bill also applies to children and adults suffering gender dysphoria and considering going through the irreversible medical procedure of transitioning genders. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by sex neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh. Soh says that Canada is going in the opposite direction of other Western liberal democracies who have mandated psychotherapy before transitioning and banned dangerous puberty-blocking drugs to those under 18. She says that clinical therapy is essential for children suffering from gender dysphoria, and banning it is cruel and anti-science. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Justin Trudeau told the world that “Canada is back” in 2015. But in the six years since, Canada has been embarrassed by our silly Prime Minister, snubbed by our friends and disrespected by our adversaries. In today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Conservative MP and top foreign policy expert Garnett Genuis. They talk about the strong role Canada’s military plays in NATO and our current mission in Latvia, the stark difference in approach to foreign policy between Liberals and Conservatives, and Trudeau’s passive and ineffective role in dealing with belligerent foreign actors.

If it weren’t for independent media and outlets like True North, Canadians -- and specifically Canadian parents -- would have little idea about the racist and radical far-left ideology that is being pushed in our schools.
