New data (linked below) shows that 4 in 5 Canadians think boycotting buying American-made goods and avoiding travel to the United State in response to Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods is helpful or at least somewhat helpful in strengthening Canada's bargaining position with the US.

Major Canada-US trade news update! Let's review an article in CBC news today and read some telling quotes taken from open letter submissions written by American industry giants, spanning sectors like auto, homebuilding, retail and consumer goods. The letters attempt to stroke Trump's ego while simultaneously urging the US President to renew the NAFTA/CUSMA trade deal, even calling for the abolishment of all tariffs between the United States and Canada all together. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney must be feeling pretty validated right now.Tune into Episode 288 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on December 1, 2025.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work!

Please, STOP giving US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra a microphone! He has no intention of pursuing improved US-Canada relations, or understanding Canadian politics and our mutual interests whatsoever. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra thinks his job is to feed into Trump's delusions, bully and gaslight the Canadian public and obfuscate US-Canada news and political narratives, especially regarding the truth about Trump's tariffs.

New Angus Reid polling data shows Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's national ‘favourability' ratings have hit an all-time low.

In breaking news, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has finally responded to journalist questions regarding now-Liberal MP D'Entremont's defection, after a presser denouncing PM Carney's “credit card budget”. Let's look at Poilievre's response together and analyze his comments line-by-line, so we can set the record straight. It's up to us to factcheck and hold our Canadian politicians accountable, because despite Poilievre's wolf-crying, not many others seem to be taking his blatant misrepresentation of political realities to task.

New 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).

Marjorie Taylor Green makes sense now, Pierre Poilievre is dodging news journalists even more than usual, and right-leaning political factions seem to be imploding on both sides of the US-Canada border. Do I sense a pattern emerging across US-Canada politics? In recent Canadian news, the cracks are showing in Canada's Conservative Party, with now-Liberal MP D'Entremont calling out Conservative leadership for caring more about “tearing down” the competition among other embarrassing revelations. Let's watch D'Entremont's comments together, as well as US Representative Marjorie Taylor Green's recent rebrand on The View regarding GOP resistance to releasing the Epstein files.Tune in to Episode 268 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on November 10, 2025.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work!

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is in hot water after making some wildly dishonest and inflammatory comments about former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, going so far as to claim the RCMP “covered up” his alleged “crimes”.

Are referendums an opportunity to hear “the voice of the people”, or an easy excuse for politicians to pass the buck and not do their jobs? Referendums have been used by Canadian politicians to avoid their responsibilities (and as public relations stunts) for generations. Recently, Newfoundland and Labrador held a provincial election, electing premier-designate Tony Wakeham. In his victory speech, Wakeham called for a referendum on the controversial Churchill Falls hydroelectric deal. Let's talk about it among other examples.
