Plus, signs are indicating a reduction of Canada’s F-35 fighter jets purchase with the United States by less than half the originally agreed upon 88, giving Canada’s military a ‘hybrid fleet’.Although no decisions have been announced by the Carney government yet, sources tell veteran journalist John Ivison that talks are underway.

The Bill Kelly PodcastBAD NEWS for Poilievre! Almost HALF of Conservative Voters Want A New Party LeaderNew data suggests that 47% of Conservative and right-leaning voters want to replace Pierre Poilievre as party leader. With the Conservative leadership review coming up, according to Spark Advocacy’s Bruce Anderson, anything under 80% could mean “hell continues to break loose” in the Conservative caucus. Let’s dissect what Conservative pundits and Canadian politicians are saying about Pierre Poilievre’s leadership behind closed doors, as discussed in two revealing articles (linked below).

The Bill Kelly PodcastPierre Poilievre - Is That All You've Got?Has Pierre Poilievre learned ANYTHING from his unemployment? In recent news, Poilievre is still fighting ghosts and slinging mud against Prime Minister Mark Carney, but most Canadians aren’t buying into his petulant style of politics. Poilievre’s lukewarm reception at the Calgary Stampede says a lot—and so do his lowbrow attacks on Mark Carney’s ethics, which seem more about personal political gain than in the spirit of Canadians’ best interests. In Episode 177, Bill breaks down why Poilievre’s lack of growth and divisive smear tactics could threaten his political future—and why Canadians deserve leadership that puts the count...

Full CommentCarney projects calm but he’s facing serious troubleWith the King opening Parliament, and a disciplined agenda, the prime minister modelled a poised and assured break from his unserious predecessor while sending a message to the world about Canadian sovereignty. That’s the verdict of Postmedia’s politics columnist John Ivison and parliamentary bureau chief Stuart Thomson, who join Brian to discuss the first week of Mark Carney’s re-elected government. Now, the easy part is over. Despite promises to cut spending, new estimates show bureaucracy out of control. President Trump has revived his “51st state” ultimatum, using missile defence as a cudgel. And provincial premiers are circling wi...

And Mark Carney’s first urgent trip as prime minister is … to Europe. Brian talks with John Ivison and Lorne Gunter this week to assess Carney’s first curious moves as the newly selected Liberal leader. But while Carney’s already saddled with loads of negative baggage — and just added more with some cabinet picks — none of it may matter, they say. Climate-regulatory alarmism like Trudeau on steroids? Weak French? Soft on crime? Cosy with China? Carney can skate past all of it by calling an election soon...

But they’re still fed up, and they still have forceful ways of showing it, as veteran Postmedia politics columnist John Ivison discusses with Brian this week. That may just include sabotaging a confidence vote that could bring down their own government. Now Trudeau is desperately trying anything to survive — including reversing key policies and playing politics over foreign interference. Backtracking on his beloved carbon tax may even be next.
