That is not to say I was not proud of my effort or that I compromised my principles; just that the finished product was lousy television, even by Canadian standards." Recent career. From 2014 until the fall of 2015, Caldwell hosted a weekly hourlong show, Saturday nights on CFRB radio, which was later cancelled.
