Bill welcomes Richard Brennan (AKA The Badger), veteran Queen's Park reporter to break down a major developing story in Canadian politics and Ontario politics.Premier Doug Ford's government is proposing significant changes to Ontario's Freedom of Information (FOI) laws—changes critics say could weaken transparency and limit public access to government records. The proposed updates would allow more records from the premier's office and cabinet to be kept secret, while also extending response times for information requests.Bill and Richard examine what these changes mean for accountability, especially in the wake of past controversies—like the Greenbelt investigation—that relied heavily on access-to-information laws. They also discuss the broader implications for journalists, watchdogs, and the public's ability to scrutinize government decisions.With decades of experience covering Ontario politics and news, Brennan offers insight into why investigative journalism—and strong FOI laws—are essential to a healthy democracy.Tune into Episode 399 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This politics news update was recorded on March 18, 2026.WATCH THIS EPISODE and subscribe to our channel: https://youtu.be/ieeFNxxvOekWATCH A RELATED EPISODE: Floor-Crossings Are A Great Canadian Politics Tradition, Don't Fall for the FAKE Drama!https://youtu.be/fDhf01yvaS0Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

Should all Canadian politics leaders be required to undergo top level security clearance? The answer seemed so obvious, apparently nobody thought to write a law mandating it. Until now, with breaking news about a new parliamentary petition e-7148 which takes direct aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre over his refusal to receive top level security clearance for over 11 years, deceptively calling it a “gag order”.Bill discusses the implications of Pierre Poilievre's highly suspicious refusal to follow the accepted political process in the context of national security, foreign interference, and Canadian politics news today.

In breaking news today, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has doubled down on her Trumpian political tactics, publicly demanding that Prime Minister Mark Carney allow her to meddle in Canada's politically-independent judiciary system or she will ‘withhold funding' from the judicial appointment process. Danielle Smith told PM Carney in a letter that she wants be consulted on all future appointments to Alberta's Court of King's Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Let's talk about why this is a terrible idea…This shocking move comes just days after Alberta's three chief justices issued a rare public statement, warning that democracy only functions when all three branches of government operate independently and respect each other's role. Premier Smith has declared her desire to “direct” judge appointments in the past and has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause four times in the last sitting of Parliament alone.Tune into Episode 366 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This Canada politics news update was recorded on February 4, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

In major Canada politics news this week, the threat of Alberta separation is escalating across Canadian politics. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she "supports a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada" which sounds like an oxymoronic statement, to me. If Danielle Smith truly believes in a united Canada, her policy actions don't reflect that.Danielle Smith's hypocrisy is especially evident in light of the breaking news that Alberta separatists have been meeting with US President Donald Trump's administration. The group is seeking a possible $500-billion US line of credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll Alberta independence, a move that BC Premier David Eby called “treasonous”.

Canadian news media reacted to Pierre Poilievre securing 87.4% of the Conservative delegations confidence in last weekend's leadership review like it was a resounding endorsement, but was it?

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.
