On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice sits down with bestselling author Gad Saad to discuss his new book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.
Why does Canada seem unable to shake woke ideology, even as much of the Western world begins to move on? Saad argues the answer lies in what he calls “suicidal empathy”: a cultural instinct to prioritize feelings, victimhood, and moral posturing over truth, justice, and common sense.

Candice and Gad unpack how this mindset has shaped modern Canada, from Justin Trudeau’s “post-national” vision to the country’s struggles with immigration, social cohesion, public safety, and cultural identity. They also examine why so many Canadians seem frustrated with the direction of the country, yet continue voting for the same political and institutional class responsible for it.
Saad explains how the “parasitic ideas” explored in his bestselling book The Parasitic Mind have now evolved into something even more corrosive: a society so obsessed with performative compassion that it loses the ability to defend itself.
Is Canada doomed? Or can the country still wake up and turn things around before it’s too late?
