Poilievre demands SELF-DEFENCE laws for Canadians in their home + Smith WRECKS Edmonton School Board

On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s announcement over the weekend calling for Castle Law-type changes to the criminal code to allow Canadians to use force – including lethal force if necessary – to defend themselves from intruders and attackers. Liberal Attorney General Sean Fraser clapped back at Poilievre and wrote on X:”‘This isn’t the Wild West. It’s Canada.” As Candice points out – that didn’t age well, as the long weekend saw two gruesome examples of home invasion violence in Ontario, including the horrifying story of a man who was murdered in the middle of the night by intruders, right in front of his wife and small children. Candice is joined by Erika Barootes, founding President of the United Conservative Party of Alberta and Department Head of Applied Politics and Public Affairs at MaKami College. They discuss how the Liberals created this public safety crisis and how Canadians need to be able to defend themselves and their homes. Next, they discuss the latest from Alberta and Premier Danielle Smith’s sensible policy to remove sexual and pornographic materials from Alberta schools. In response, the Edmonton Public School Board removed from than 200 books from its libraries – including classic novels that are in no way problematic. Smith responded by eviscerating the school board and calling out their attempt at “vicious compliance.” Thank you to MaKami College for sponsoring this episode.
