The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast

On Wednesday night, Conservative Party members had another opportunity to hear from leadership candidates and their vision for Canada. Unfortunately, the format of the debate resulted in a boring and largely uneventful and many disappointed viewers. Not only were simplistic and uninspiring questions about the candidates’ favourite books and TV shows asked, the perceived frontrunner Pierre Poilievre was forced to remain silent for nearly half of the debate. Further, candidates were given very short time periods to provide answers to complex issues. There were no winners in last night’s debate, only losers — thanks to the Conservative Party. On this episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice reacts to the disappointing debate, the format chosen by the party and the media’s unanimous disapproval.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Ontario, Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford is hoping to win another majority but it’s not a clear path for victory for the Conservatives. The NDP and Liberals are hoping to increase their seat count and disgruntled conservatives are working against Ford because of his pandemic response. Meanwhile, the Conservative Leadership race continues to heat up as candidates sign up new members and appeal to conservatives in Canada. Plus, the results of the United Conservative Party leadership review are set to be announced in the next few days. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by pollster and Partner at One Persuades Hamish Marshall to analyze the busy election season.

It’s Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show, coming to you from the fake news capital of Canada! With Roe v. Wade set to be overturned in the US, the Liberals and the legacy media jumped at the opportunity to use the issue of abortion to demonize conservatives and virtue-signal – despite the fact that there are no abortion laws in Canada. Plus, the Trudeau government celebrates World Press Freedom Day and touts the importance of an independent press. Meanwhile, the government continues to subsidize legacy media outlets and attempts to silence independent media in Canada. True North’s Candice Malcolm and Andrew Lawton discuss these stories and more in-person at the Canada Strong and Free Conference in Ottawa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government has approved a massive oil project in Eastern Canada, while at the same time, blocking energy projects in Western Canada. Meanwhile, Quebec has become the first jurisdiction in the world to end all oil and gas exploration – but of course, they’ll still benefit billions from Canada’s equalization program courtesy of the West. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by seasoned entrepreneur Michael Binnion. Michael is the President and founding shareholder of Questerre Energy, a public oil and gas production company operating in Quebec. He is also the Executive Director of the Modern Miracle Network, whose mission is to encourage Canadians to have reasoned conversations about energy issues. Candice and Michael discuss Quebec’s controversial decision to ban oil and gas, the Trudeau government’s anti-Western Canadian bias and what the oil and gas sector is doing to lower emissions and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Trudeau government attempts to use Roe V Wade to virtue signal and achieve cheap political points in Canada, a real conversation about family policy is desperately needed. Canada’s birth rate is declining at a concerning rate because fewer families are having kids. Ginny Roth, the Vice President at Crestview Strategy, believes this is an opportunity for Conservatives to step up. Ginny argues that the Liberal approach has failed and that “a conservative feminism should drop labour-force participation as the only measure of gender equality.” On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice and Ginny discuss the Trudeau government’s $10/day child care agreement, how the Liberals are portraying the program as “women’s liberation” and what a Conservative family policy might look like.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government has tabled Bill C-18, the Online News Act, to ensure media outlets in Canada receive “fair compensation” from tech giants. Part of this legislation includes designating certain media outlets as government-approved media – “Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization.” Why is the government trying to dictate what Canadians see on the news and forcing big tech to subsidize media outlets in Canada? On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss the government’s latest attempt to save the dying legacy media, similar legislation in other countries and the Trudeau government’s cozy relationship with the legacy media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite the fact that the CBC publicly retracted a news story about the Freedom Convoy that erroneously claimed that support for the protest had largely come from foreigners, the Trudeau government relied on the state broadcaster to justify its use of the Emergencies Act. This week, Attorney General David Lametti confirmed that the government relied on false CBC reports when freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who supported the protest. Plus, weeks after the legacy media freaked out about a Conservative MP calling Justin Trudeau a dictator, so-called journalists go silent after a Liberal MP accuses Premier Doug Ford of “crimes against humanity.” Lastly, thanks to the CBC – if you didn’t have a favourite non-binary, pansexual, South Asian, Muslim comedian yet – now you do! True North’s Candice Malcolm and Harrison Faulkner discuss these stories and more on the week’s edition of Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the frailty of Canada’s government-run healthcare system and the lack of leadership in Canada. Canada’s healthcare system didn’t have the capacity, the flexibility, the innovation or the robustness to handle a novel virus that disproportionately impacted the very old, the very weak and the very sick. Meanwhile, Canadians witnessed a colossal failure in leadership across the board – politics, government, media, business and even academia. Dr. Julie Ponesse joins The Candice Malcolm Show to discuss Canada’s totalitarian approach to the pandemic. Dr. Ponesse recently walked away from her academic career after refusing to comply with Western University’s vaccine mandate. She says we are “living through a pandemic of coercion and compliance.” In this interview, Candice and Dr. Ponesse touch on a range of topics, including Dr. Ponesse’s departure from academia, her book “My Choice on the ethics of forced vaccination,” Canada’s failures during the pandemic and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is 40-years-old this year. What was the Charter intended to do? What was the vision of the original signatories? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by one of the signers of the original Charter, the Honourable Brian Peckford. Peckford served as the Progressive Conservative Premier of Newfoundland from 1979 to 1989. He is the last living signatory of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Over the past year, the former premier has become a symbol of Canadians’ opposition to government overreach and the government’s response to COVID. Candice and Mr. Peckford discuss how the Charter has changed Canada since its signing, if the Charter protected our rights and freedoms during COVID, the government’s handling of the freedom convoy and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
