The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast

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. It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show. Candice and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss the worst examples of fake news in Canada this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. They also touch on the future of oil and gas in Canada, the many failings of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and why Ted is supporting Pierre Poilievre for leader of the Conservative party of Canada.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
