Caylan Ford was born in Calgary, AB, and earned a Bachelor’s degree (Hons.) in Chinese history at the University of Calgary. From there she obtained a Master’s degree in International Affairs from the George Washington University, and worked on and off as a senior policy advisor for Canada’s foreign ministry for about ten years. Between the birth of her two children she earned another Master’s in International Human Rights Law at the University of Oxford. She is currently the founder/operator of Alberta Classical Academy
This story truly begins though previously, as she was anointed a star UCP Candidate in the 2019 Provincial Election for her own riding of Calgary Mountain View, a "swing" zone.
Sound like someone that might be rooted in racist beliefs?
Caylan found herself at the centre of what might easily be one of Canada's biggest political smear-jobs in its history. She received an ominous email from PressProgress at writ drop 29 days before the election call, telling her they had proof of her being a racist and if she'd care to comment, and that she needed to answer within 3 hours. She of course had no clue.
What ensued was absolute madness in collusion to spread misinformation between the AAlberta NDPNew Democratic Party of Canada, the CCBCthe TThe Toronto Star and the main perpetrator in Karim Jivraj after he leaked old private Facebook messages to PPressProgress(Progress Alberta) who then fed the media world.
She would be forced to resign from the race. And the rest is history.
In this discussion we detail the events unfolding in the minutes, hours, days and years following this "Cancel-Culture" mob in full effect. In 2020 Caylan filed a 7.65 Million defamation claim against all said above, including a smattering of other individuals (14 in total) who continued to push this narrative. Some of the individuals include the Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley, the Broadbent Institute | Institut Broadbent (started by former NDP Leader to feed hit pieces and attack opposition), David Khan (Liberal Party), and Emma McIntosh (Formerly Toronto Star)
*Progress Alberta has recently settled out of court with Caylan for $250k
She found herself unemployable, and isolated from all her former work colleagues at the UCP and her own circle of friends. She hit rock-bottom.
Only thing left to do was to fight. We get into all of it in this epsiode folks!!!
