How is Western aid money being unintendedly used to fund terrorist group Hamas and what can be done to rectify the situation? Joining us to discuss is Aurel Braun - Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Toronto.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Ontario NDP's handling of Hamilton City Centre MPP Sarah Jama and the situation that arose from her statements. Canada faces an uphill battle to recoup the roughly C$35 billion ($25.74 billion) in taxpayers' money it has sunk into the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, as uncertainty over shipping tolls and a limited pool of buyers cloud the asset's unique strategic value. In a new piece for the National Post, Tasha Kheiriddin argues that “Lumping Israelis and Palestinians into the false dichotomy of colonizer and colonized, as Ontario NDP MPP Sarah Jama did, only serves to perpetuate division and violence.” We also tackle the international response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Psychology of talking so much about hate: does it breed suspicion and more hate and divisiveness? Where in the world is Prime Minister Trudeau? And shouldn't the answer be Ottawa?!

Hamas and Islamic Jihad have launched a coordinated attack on Israel, resulting in a large number of casualties, mostly civilians.The timing of the attack coincided with the momentum of the Abraham Accords, which threatened Iran's interests in the region. There are concerns of a larger regional conflict involving Hezbollah and Russia. Iran has denied involvement in the attack.Israeli intelligence agencies failed to detect the attack due to complacency and a false sense of security. Some speculate that the recognition of Hamas as the legitimate government by Israel may have emboldened them.We unpack this evolving situation with Aurel Braun, a professor of political science with the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs.#israel #islam #jihad #hamas #hezbollah #russia #internationalaffairs Listen to this podcast everywhere:https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcastWatch the interview by subscribing to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcastSubscribe to my Substack for free news updates straight to your inbox and exclusive paid content: billkelly.substack.comConnect with me on socials: @ThisIsBillKellyhttps://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKellyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/ Get full access to Bill Kelly's Substack at billkelly.substack.com/subscribe

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The months-long Hollywood writers strike is over after the Writers Guild of America released the details of their tentative agreement with Hollywood studios. Did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just apologize on live television? Seriously, we are asking. The word “apology” was used but does that count? What happens to parliament now that they are without a speaker? What has been the international fallout from Nazi Waffen SS veteran Yaroslav Hunka being welcomed into Canadian parliament, and applauded as a war hero, due to an alleged complete lack of education about history among our leaders. As we learn more about the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, it paints a picture that is hard to see as anything other than a well-orchestrated assassination by a team.

An unusual but consequential summit between North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially wrapped. Guest host Preston Mulligan spoke with Aurel Braun, an expert in international affairs, to learn why the meeting was dubbed "Arms for Food."

The smoky conditions we've experienced this summer can be irritating and can put a damper on your outdoor plans, but have you considered the ‘long term' effects of breathing in wildfire smoke? We take a look at the potential health risks, from Dr. Ted Jablonski, our “on-call” family physician.   Last week's death of Vladimir Putin's greatest adversary Yevgeny Prigozhin brings about many questions to the future of Putin's leadership. We discuss the impact of what many people are calling an ‘assassination' with Aurel Braun, Professor of Political Science from the University of Toronto.    And finally, a local tech company is using their innovations in geothermal energy to help change the ‘face' of the Canadian energy industry and at the same time, provide much needed power across the globe. We hear details on the work being done by Calgary-based “Eavor Technologies”.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Canadian government on Friday demanded that Meta lift a "reckless" ban on domestic news from its platforms to allow people to share information about wildfires in the west of the country. Russia said on Monday a decision by Denmark and the Netherlands to donate the first F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine would only escalate the conflict, while Ukraine said the jets would help end Moscow's invasion. With wildfires burning across North America, and the smoke spreading too, we wanted to look at what Canadians think of extreme weather and climate change. If someone is injured at an encampment, is the City liable? Delegates from across Ontario began descending on London, Ont., Sunday as Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his cabinet prepared to meet municipal officials for days of detailed, local discussions.
