The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The Canadian government is going to drop the costly polymerase chain reaction COVID-19 test for Canadians returning to Canada from trips lasting less than 72 hours, sources say. Canadians and permanent residents will still have to get an antigen test when coming back from travel to the United States and other countries. A PCR test will still be required for fully vaccinated Americans or other travellers coming to Canada, according to the sources, as well as for Canadians who have been outside the country longer than 72 hours. GUEST: Perrin Beatty, President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce - Rumors have swirled in recent days about a potential deal between the governing Liberals and the NDP to help the minority government pass their agenda GUEST: Jagmeet Singh, Leader of the Federal NDP - Ontario's health minister defended a plan Wednesday to allow people with COVID-19 symptoms to get tested for the virus in pharmacies, after some experts raised safety concerns. Health Minister Christine Elliott told the legislature that pharmacies will take standard infection prevention and control measures _ including mask-wearing, physical distancing and having a dedicated space to perform the tests. The Ontario Pharmacist Association is in favour of the plan to extend symptomatic Covid-19 testing to pharmacies.  However, Association CEO Justin Bates says it won't be happening in every pharmacy.  GUEST: Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacist Association - Conservative leader Erin O'Toole says all members of the team have to be focused on the return of Parliament. Last night, O'Toole announced the expulsion of Saskatchewan Senator Denise Batters from the party caucus, after she started a petition calling for a leadership review within six months. Amid a public challenge of his leadership, Erin O'Toole has reportedly enlisted the help of Jeff Ballingall -- the man behind the Canada Proud and Ontario Proud social media networks -- to work with the Conservative Party on "election readiness." GUEST: Tasha Kheiriddin, Principal at Navigator and a Lecturer with the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is attempting to quash dissent and silence his critics by booting Senator Denise Batters out of caucus, in response to her petition calling on the party to hold an early leadership review. While O'Toole's sycophants are applauding him for this move, it's clear this is a sign of weakness. Whether it's O'Toole's flip-flop on the carbon tax or treatment of pro-life caucus members, O'Toole has alienated so many members of the Conservative base. It's no wonder he doesn't want a leadership review. Things are not looking good for the Conservative leader. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses the latest developments in the challenge of O'Toole's leadership. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two issues are particularly causing strongly opinionated views on air, via social media and email. This hour we open phones to the issues creating this listener/caller feedback.   1) PIPELINES:   The cancellation of Energy East this week. Is the regional discord over building of new pipelines for Alberta oil to get to international markets creating a threat for Canada's continued confederation?   2) NEWCOMERS:  This coming Wednesday Ottawa is loosening the requirements to become a Canadian citizen and Canada's borders are increasingly porous with Ottawa doing little to halt illegal crossing into Canada other than warning refugee claims may be rejected.  As the U.S. expels hundreds of thousands of people, will most of them head for Canada and be permitted entry...and if you challenge any such development do you expect to be labeled as intolerant and racist?  And if you do, are you?
