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.

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.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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. They discuss the state of the conservative movement in Canada, the big tent conservative coalition and the important issues all conservatives can rally around.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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. PLUS Candice asks some tough questions about why the Conservatives abandoned their opposition to Bill C-4.  Learn more about your ad choices.
