Canadians falling prey to conspiracy theories, Will Mélanie Joly succeed as Foreign Affairs Minister & Deadline for feds to appeal ruling to pay Indigenous kids approaches
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The good news is Canadians have a lot of trust in their institutions. The not-so-good news is that a strong minority of Canadians believe a small cabal of people “secretly manipulate” world events from the shadows. New polling conducted for Elections Canada suggested that Canadians have strong confidence in institutions like the elections agency (78 per cent), the police (74 per cent), the mainstream media (54 per cent) and provincial and federal governments (56 per cent and 55 per cent, respectively). But the poll – conducted by Leger, and based on a survey...

The Peaceable Kingdom? A history of terrorism in Canada from Confederation to the Present, Phil Gurski joined Bill Kelly
The Peaceable Kingdom is an excellent primer about terrorism activities in Canada reaching back to days of Confederation. One does not think of terrorism actually happening on Canadian soil or to Canadian entities elsewhere. After all Canada is known as the country where we say, “I’m sorry” a lot. Yet in the past few decades, there have been incidents, some diffused and controlled by law enforcement/intelligence agencies, others where lives were lost. Phil has written this book from a first person perspective, which puts a human face to the issue, having worked in the field of counte...
