The Bill Kelly Podcast: Ontario plans a massive expansion of the Bruce Power nuclear plant on Lake Huron, almost doubling its capacity by adding up to 4,800 megawatts of electricity production — enough to power almost five million homes. It would be the first major new construction of nuclear reactors in more than three decades and is rekindling debate over emission-free atomic power and its radioactive waste versus renewables like solar and wind power as the world decarbonizes in the fight against climate change. GUEST: Dr. Chris Keefer, President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy - Stellantis and LG Energy Solution have reached a new deal with the federal and Ontario governments for as much as $15-billion in subsidies for their electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor, bringing an end to a months-long saga in which the companies halted construction on the project while they pushed for greater financial backing. The agreement was announced by Stellantis late Wednesday afternoon through a press release. It was subsequently confirmed by Ottawa in a statement issued by Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Construction of the plant will resume immediately, according to Stellantis. GUEST: Marvin Ryder, Professor with the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University - A report about a conference in Toronto on Sikh terrorism was posted in May on the website of a now defunct Canadian-based think tank. The problem? There's no evidence the Star could find that the conference took place or that the listed speakers even exist. But multiple Indian news outlets picked up the report, treating it as news. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's national security adviser said in June that India is among the top sources of foreign interference in Canada, but experts say authorities have let India's activities fly “under the radar” and that it's time they paid closer attention to disinformation linked to Indian sources. Canada is home to the world's largest Sikh diaspora. GUEST: Dr. Robert Huish, Associate Professor with the Department of International Development Studies at Dalhousie University

Last week, Volkswagen announced it will build its first overseas electric vehicle battery gigafactory in St. Thomas, Ontario. The federal and provincial governments declined to say what they'd paid to lure Volkswagen to Canada rather than the U.S. but the Financial Times reported the price was around $15 billion. That's a lot of public money going to subsidize a private company, even one that will support thousands of jobs. So this week, on “It's Political” we take a look at what's driving the case for big subsidies, and how Canada is adopting a green new industrial policy with little public debate. First, we'll hear from stakeholders and experts on the impact of the United States' Inflation Reduction Act, and what it could mean here, north of the U.S. border. Then, we'll sit down with the man some have dubbed Canada's energizer bunny, Innovation, Science and Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne. In this episode: Minister Champagne, Lana Payne, the national president of Unifor, Matt Poirier, senior policy director with the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, John Lester, an executive fellow at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, Marisa Beck,  director of Clean Growth with the Canadian Climate Institute, Jean Simard, the president and CEO of the Aluminum Association of Canada, Brian Kingston, the president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, and Genevieve Dufour, a professor of trade law at the University of Sherbrooke.
