If PM Carney Was Conservative, His Critics Would Be...

The Bill Kelly Podcast ·

2025/05/22

How much of the criticism against Prime Minister Mark Carney is legitimate, and how much is just partisan sniping? Well, politics is in the eye of the beholder, and something tells me that if Mark Carney had decided to run as a Conservative, people across the country would be building shrines to him right now. Most of the national media networks are hyper-critical of Carney, as are avowed anti-Trudeau radicals, alike. Yet, Carney’s administration has been in power less than a month, and we have

Is it “outrageous” to ban American products on Canadian shelves in response to Trump’s annexation fixation? Well, the orange guy in the White House has another marionette’s strings to pull in Pete Hoekstra, the new American Ambassador to Canada, who made these statements in a recent interview. The United States has “never done anything like that to Canada”, he says. (Pause for eye roll.) Let’s talk about these and some other appalling comments the US Ambassador to Canada has said regarding the Trump

Was there REALLY controversy amongst Carney's cabinet over pipelines this week? On that note, have you ever wondered what world some reporters are living on when you hear them recount their version of a live event, as if you watched something totally different? Some 24/7 news networks seem to be finding things to say just to create buzzworthy content.Case in point: CTV and other media organizations have overplayed the lone voice in Carney’s cabinet, Steven Guilbeault, who questioned the necessity of

Prime Minister Carney’s pick for a new housing minister, Gregor Robertson, has been a heavy target of criticism by unemployed Ottawa man, Pierre Poilievre, this week. So, how does the new housing minister’s track record hold up? And does Pierre Poilievre forget that he was in charge of federal housing programs as part of Harper’s cabinet during Robertson’s tenure as mayor of the City of Vancouver, when the housing market skyrocketed nationally?

Ontario's Health Care is Broken: Report Says Hospital...

2025/05/14

Ontario used to brag about our world class health care system… Now, a damning new report found that Ontario has the lowest hospital spending per capita in the country, citing a parasitic cycle of lack of funding and over reliance on private hospital staffing agencies. Between 2013 and 2023, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives found that Ontario’s hospital staff hiring increased by 6% , whereas hiring from private staffing agencies rose 98%. This report (linked below) is a warning bell that

Why Are We Talking About Alberta Separation?

2025/05/09

What are Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s motivations for stoking the flames of Western separation? Could it be to distract from her own administration’s controversies? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is feeding off the anger many Western Canadians have towards Ottawa for political expediency, stoking the flames of Canadian separation rather than trying to “turn the temperature down”, as she claimed in a recent press conference. Is this anger towards Ottawa justified, and is it a good reason to

But, was Prime Minister Carney’s first official meeting today with President Trump a successful one? How did PM Carney handle Trump’s “51st State” comments? Should Carney have challenged Trump more?

Trump NEEDS Canada, and PM Mark Carney Knows It......

The Bill Kelly Podcast ·

2025/05/06

For someone who thinks he’s “the king of the deal”, Trump sure sucks at negotiating. Did you know that Canada provides more crude oil to the US than Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined? And that’s just the tip of the (Canadian) iceberg. So, is Canada “ripping off” America, as Trump claims? Is the USA “subsidizing” Canadian lifestyles, or is it the other way around…? Canada has done a lousy job of beating our own drum when it comes to the beneficial impact we have on the US economy, and Prime

The Bill Kelly Podcast ·

2025/05/06

“I don’t think military force will be necessary,” said US President Donald Trump when questioned about his position on turning Canada into “the 51st State”. In the same interview, he openly stated he “hasn’t ruled out” using military force to annex Greenland. I am tired of hearing, “That’s Trump being Trump”. It’s time for world leaders to stand up and say, Trump can’t be Trump anymore. Why? Because, it’s illegal. He is attacking the very sovereignty of NATO countries, and everyone is letting him

Is this really the best form of democracy we’ve got? Should we seriously consider changing the foundations of the Canadian and American systems of governance? Well, in order for us to figure that out, first we need to understand how we got here. Let’s walk through a brief history of democracy across North America, compare different types of democratic voting systems (ie: first past the post, electoral college, proportional representation and ranked ballots) and take a wild guess why our elected

What is the future of the NDP Party and Conservative Party? Is Pierre Poilievre the reason the Conservatives lost the 2025 Canada Election? No Conservative is admitting Pierre’s failure openly, and it may not be until 2026 that their leader is even able to re-enter the political arena. So, what could Conservatives do now? Also, the NDP Party must find a new leader after Jagmeet Singh’s resignation. Lots of upheaval in Canada’s post-2025 Election landscape, so let’s talk about it. In Episode 133 of

2025/04/27

In the final stretch of the Canada Election 2025, the Conservative Party seems to have taken a drastic turn in their campaign strategy, namely by excluding any mention of their leader from recent advertising altogether. If Pierre Poilievre manages to blow his former 21-point lead and lose the race, and should the Party, hypothetically, then want to vote in a new leader because of it… who would be the frontrunners?

Pierre Poilievre's 2025 Election Campaign: A Satire

2025/04/27

Pierre Poilievre’s doomsday prophecies about Canada’s future should the pollsters be correct and he loses the Canada Election 2025 race to be Prime Minister are… interesting. Should we take them seriously, and for that matter, should we take some Conservative’s threats of Western separation seriously? Bill reflects on these questions and reads parts of a Beaverton article that satirizes some major themes that have arisen during Poilievre’s campaign.

(If you want to talk cr@p about Justin Trudeau, lying isn’t necessary…) Did Mark Carney repeal his removal of the carbon tax, the second he took office? (Hint: no). We’ve never had more information at our fingertips, and multiple foreign governments are weaponizing that reality in order to sway public opinion and interfere with the results of the 2025 Canadian Election (just like during the Conservative leadership race).
