The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: ·        Trudeau names former governor general David Johnston as special Rapporteur ·        Federal budget ·        And more... GUEST: Muhammad Ali, Senior Consultant for Crestview Strategies -   Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives are moving to make it harder to sue the Ontario government.  The PCs plan to repeal and replace the long-standing Ontario Proceedings Against the Crown Act — legislation that, among other things, outlines government liability in cases of misfeasance and negligence. The new law would increase the legal threshold necessary to proceed with civil litigation, including class action lawsuits, against the government. Further, it would considerably limit the instances in which the government could be on the hook for financial compensation to plaintiffs. GUEST: Andrew Furgiuele, Lecturer with the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto - Canada's housing market showed signs of life in February following a year of cooling off, but experts are watching the typically busy spring season to determine whether the correction has hit its bottom. The Canadian Real Estate Association said Wednesday that while monthly home sales were down 40 per cent from the same month a year earlier in February, sales actually rose 2.3 per cent from January. That was thanks largely to an uptick in activity in the Greater Toronto and Vancouver areas.

Ted Hsu The riding of Peterborough-Kawartha once again retained its bellwether status. We heard from re-elected PC Dave Smith.

Yesterday evening, Ontarians watched the second and final provincial debate that, of course, saw all three opposition party leaders focusing their attacks on Ontario PC leader Doug Ford. The highlight issues were education, health care and Highway 413. So, who do you think won and lost during this debate? And, were there any moments that stuck out to you? Our panel weighs in. ---- FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVANTS MAKING $171M IN BONUSES DESPITE FAILING TO MEET PERFORMANCE GOALS Libby Znaimer is joined by Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of Canadian Taxpayers Federation. According to the Treasury Board Secretariat, between 2019 and 2020, the federal government administered a total of $171-million in bonuses to executives and public servants even though departments managed to only complete less than half of their performance objectives during this time frame. Franco weighs in on the details. ---- THE PRICE OF GAS REACHES A RECORD HIGH! Libby is now joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy. Drivers are dreading the gas pumps and many of them are now paying over $2 per litre for fuel. And, it is being predicted that gas will only continue to rise to $2.10 a litre into the Victoria long weekend. So, what's causing this pain at the pumps? A lot of it has to do with supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and of course other factors including high demand as a result of the reopening of the economy. Dan gives the details. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!
