The Candice Malcolm Show Podcast

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

For the past week Justin Trudeau and three of his senior cabinet ministers have been touring Europe, taking lots of photos and lecturing the world about “democratic values.” In the UK, Trudeau was met with massive protests and negative press. In Latvia he was oddly grinning ear-to-ear while standing next to Canada's military. And, in Germany, Trudeau told world leaders that in a democracy, people need to listen and have respect for those who hold "different political views." On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks down the unbelievable gaslighting and very worst moments of Trudeau's European photo-op tour. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trudeau government has stuffed the pockets of Canada's legacy media over the years by providing them with bailouts and other taxpayer handouts that have destroyed the objectivity and credibility of some of Canada's biggest media outlets. For Canadians to get a real understanding of what's happening, they have to look to outlets like True North or the foreign press. On today's live episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice will discuss how Trudeau successfully bought the media and Candice will also be taking your questions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many Canadians were disheartened and dismayed by the doxxing and firing of donors who had financially supported the Trucker Convoy. Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by a Conservative Member of Parliament trying to change that. Alberta MP Garnett Genuis introduced a private members bill last week to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to protect Canadians from discrimination due to political beliefs or actions. The bill would create federal protections for those fired or harassed by their employers or the government for engaging in a political protest or donating to a political cause. They also discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and Garnett’s perspective as a member of Canada’s Parliamentary NATO Association. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Former Leader of the Opposition Preston Manning, to discuss the trucker convoy, populism and his advice for all Canadians in the post-Covid era. Manning says the Trucker Convoy was a “legitimate, bottom-up political protest” and that the Trudeau government’s handling of it was “an extreme overreaction and a deliberate misinterpretation of what they were trying to do.” “There is rumbling in the federal Liberals already that Trudeau has to go,” said Manning in regards to his overall handling of Covid and unwillingness to adapt to the rapidly changing political environment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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

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

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

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

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