| Episode 62: "Would LeBlanc stab Justin Trudeau in the back?" Bill Kelly's April 26 Commentary | 27 Apr 2024 | 00:10:14 | |
There’s been talk about Justin Trudeau stepping down, especially after Dominic LeBlanc expressed interest in running for the liberal leadership.

The conservatives have shown an increase in their lead in the polls, but it is unclear if this is due to support for Pierre Poilievre or dissatisfaction with Trudeau.

| Episode 42: Will Canada’s Foreign Interference Inquiry Solve Anything? | 29 Jan 2024 | 00:29:23 | |
The independent inquiry into foreign electoral interference begins public hearings today. Many who follow both international relations and national security question whether this will solve anything, as Canada aims to learn more about how they can protect themselves from foreign interference. Was the country warned about these dangers in the past? Was intelligence on foreign interference ignored? One expert says yes, and suggests inquiries have become more a national sport, than a serious investigation.

| Episode 41: Understanding the Ford Government's agenda to begin 2024 | 26 Jan 2024 | 00:24:31 | |
The legislature is not sitting in Ontario, however, that hasn’t stopped the Ford Government from making policy changes. This week, Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced a‘back to basics’ curriculum for kindergarten. Are these the right changes to be made? The Ford Government has also ramped up its attack ads of new Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie. Are they working? We also discuss whether Premier Ford will be able to move forward with his highway building agenda in 2024 in light of RCMP investigation into Greenbelt Scandal. We unpack these issues in Episode 41 of The Bill Kelly Podcast with one of the country's most respected voices in politics and journalism, former Toronto Star journalist Richard Brennan. #ontario #onpoli #ndp #onpoli #dougford #richardbrennan #ndp #ontariondp #bonniecrombie #stephenlecce #education #ontarioeducation #greenbelt Listen to this podcast everywhere: https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcast Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcast Subscribe to my Substack: Connect with me on social media: https://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKelly https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ This is a public episode.

| Episode 40: Federal Court deemed the Emergencies Act violated charter. Now what? | 24 Jan 2024 | 00:24:15 | |
The Federal Court has ruled the use of the Emergencies Act by the Trudeau government as a violation of charter. In his ruling, Justice Richard G. Mosley wrote “I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility — and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says that Ottawa will appeal the ruling. Many supporters of the truckers convoy that occupied Ottawa for a month and a day are celebrating this as a win. Where do we go from here? We unpack this issue with Michael Kempa, an Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, in Episode 40 of The Bill Kelly Podcast! #convoy #ottawa #truckersconvoy #protest #federalpolitics #justintrudeau #dougford #canada #canadalife #thebillkellypodcast #michaelkempa Listen to this podcast everywhere: https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcast Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcast Subscribe to my Substack: Connect with me on social media: https://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKelly https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ https://www.facebook.com/TheBillKellyPodcast This is a public episode.

The need for more family doctors has grown over the last 10 years, but with increased immigration, and now, a limit on the number of foreign students admitted to universities, the future is more unclear.

| Episode 37: Jean Chrétien Says Canada Is In Great Shape. Is He Right? | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:31:19 | |
Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien recently celebrated his 90th birthday. Despite their political differences, another former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, sent him a birthday greeting, suggesting that former opponents can bury the hatchet over time. This display of camaraderie and respect between former leaders is a rarity in today's political climate. In contrast, current political leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, do not seem to have this same level of respect for one another. In speaking with the media recently, Chrétien criticized Poilievre’s characterization of Canada as "broken”, arguing that attacking institutions undermines the unity of the country. We discuss the state of the country with Dr. Lori Turnbull, Chair & Professor of Public & International Affairs at Dalhousie University in Episode 37 of The Bill Kelly Podcast. #pierrepoilievre #conservative #justintrudeau #liberal #canada #canadalife #billkelly #thebillkellypodcast Listen to this podcast everywhere: https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcast Watch the interview by subscribing to our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcast Subscribe to my Substack for free news updates straight to your inbox and exclusive paid content Connect with me on socials: @ThisIsBillKelly https://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKelly https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ This is a public episode.

| Episode 70: Why are RCMP not investigating foreign interference report? w/ Phil Gurski | 05 Jul 2024 | 00:32:35 | |
In this episode, Bill Kelly and Phil Gurski, former CSIS analyst and author, discuss the issue of foreign interference in Canadian politics and the lack of action taken by the government, after reports that some parliamentarians had been involved in efforts of foreign states to interfere in Canadian politics. Since the report broke, there’s been a lack of follow-up and discussion on this issue. Why are the RCMP reluctant to investigate? The CSIS Act describes Foreign-Influenced Activities, which is another term for Foreign Interference, as “activities within or relating to Canada that are detrimental to the interests of Canada and are clandestine or deceptive or involve a threat to any person”.

Some say 2024 is one of the most pivotal years in the history of American politics. The upcoming Iowa caucus may be the first domino to fall for the Republicans, as Donald Trump currently leads by a large margin and experts are questioning if any candidate can surpass his support. Ron DeSantis, who has spent a significant amount of money in Iowa, is struggling and may not continue if he doesn't perform well. Who will be Trump’s running mate? Some suggest Trump may choose someone who aligns more closely with his current Republican Party base. As for U.S. President Joe Biden: do democrats still identify with the aging leader? How will this affect his support in 2024?

Why does Alberta want out of the Canada Pension Plan? The decision by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has caused a swift reaction from the federal government. Is Alberta trying to score points against the federal government? Some say Albertans are paying too much into the plan and could pay less if they leave. However, the numbers and feasibility of this claim are questionable. Additionally, the process of opting out would be lengthy and require the agreement of seven out of ten provinces. What are the political implications of this? Who are Alberta’s potential allies? We take a deep dive into this topic in Episode 26 of The Bill Kelly Podcast with Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers. #alberta #canadapolitics #daniellesmith #canadapensionplan #fedpoli #thebillkellypodcast #ArmineYalnizyan Listen to this podcast everywhere: https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcast Watch the interview by subscribing to our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcast Subscribe to my Substack for free news updates straight to your inbox and exclusive paid content Connect with me on socials: @ThisIsBillKelly https://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKelly https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ This is a public episode.

| Episode 22: Will a scathing document dump be the final knockout punch for Premier Ford? | 03 Nov 2023 | 00:32:38 | |
Will a scathing document dump be the final knockout punch for Premier’s Ford? From Environmental Defense: “Released by Ontario's Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing as a result of a series of freedom of information requests show that it was partisan Minister’s Office staff — not civil service experts — who directed changes to municipal Official Plans in ways that favoured select landowners and sprawl developers. “The documents also show that their lands were designated for development despite being rejected by both municipal planners and provincial Municipal Affairs planning experts. The documents also offer evidence that Ministers' offices, other than that of Housing Minister Steve Clark, were involved as early as January 2022, prior to the June 2022 election, and yet the government still kept Ontario voters in the dark.” We unpack this story with Phil Pothen, Ontario Environment Program Manager for Environmental Defense.
