Over the weekend, Utah Governor Spencer Cox and President Donald Trump both confirmed that the suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, had been radicalized by leftist ideology online. Authorities revealed Robinson had spoken openly of his hatred for Kirk and even confessed on Discord shortly after the killing.

But instead of mourning a generation’s conservative leader, Canada’s left-wing media rushed to smear Kirk in death as they had in life. CBC, CTV, the Globe and Mail, and freelance activists like Rachel Gilmore downplayed the assassination and even suggested Kirk “reaped what he sowed.” CBC’s so-called “hate experts” went further, spreading lies about Kirk’s record while branding his supporters “far-right.”

Candice argues this wasn’t just an attack on Charlie Kirk — it was an attack on free speech, democracy, and the very foundation of Western society. Meanwhile, Liberals in Ottawa blocked Conservative MPs from holding a moment of silence in Kirk’s honour, even as thousands of ordinary Canadians held vigils across Alberta and artists like Morgan Wallen paid tribute on stage.

This is political violence fuelled by years of conditioning, where the media paints conservatives as “fascists,” “extremists,” and “domestic terrorists,” creating the toxic environment that enables real violence. Candice exposes how the establishment continues to smear conservatives while excusing their own side’s extremism, and why Canadians must push back.
