GUEST: Robert Huebert, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary and a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. - What happened in Russia this past weekend? It seems as if the Wagner Group, the mercenary group, were marching on Moscow. Did anybody see this coming? We get word on the ground in Ukraine.

GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Publisher of the Queen's Park Observer. - TiCats are still looking for a win in 2023. What's happening? And what do they need to do to claim their first victory for the season?

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Trudeau's government seems to be in trouble as we come into the Federal Byelections. GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University. - The Bell Media mass layoffs is going to have major ramifications both in the short term… as well as the long term. GUEST: John Best, Publisher of The Bay Observer and former News Director for CHCH. - And Ontario is looking to expand “strong mayor” powers to 26 more cities, including Hamilton. GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Publisher of the Queen's Park Observer.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: On the 10th anniversary of his winning the party leadership, a battered yet battle-tested prime minister is governing in the face of stubborn speculation about his political future. Those close to him say Trudeau remains committed to the political vision that propelled him to office and saved the Liberals from ruin in 2015. GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - Hackers working with Russia's spy agency claimed earlier this year to have disrupted operations at a Canadian natural-gas pipeline company, inflicting costly damage on its infrastructure, leaked Pentagon documents say. The Globe and Mail has been unable to independently verify the allegations in the U.S. intelligence documents, the contents of which have also been reported by U.S. media. There is no evidence to date that a natural-gas pipeline company in Canada suffered such an attack, which the Pentagon documents suggest occurred earlier this year. GUEST: Steve Chase, Senior Parliamentary Reporter for the Globe and Mail - In a new push to reach its target of 1.5 million new homes by 2031, Premier Doug Ford's government is proposing a slew of changes that include allowing municipalities to build faster on undeveloped land — which critics warn will fuel sprawl into farmland. Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark said Thursday his wide-ranging measures are intended to provide better protections for tenants and home buyers in a housing crunch of supply and affordability. GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Publisher of the Queen's Park Observer

The city is building thousands of new homes, and that means some older ones will have to be demolished. But could it be done sustainably while making a profit? Dani Stover speaks with Meredith Moore, the founder of Ouroboros Deconstruction about how demolition can be done sustainably, and what "deconstruction" is. And have you ever wondered why we have nicknames for our political parties? Dani Stover and Sabrina Nanji, a journalist and founder of Queen's Park Observer about why we call our Liberals "Grits", and Conservatives "Tories"

The Ontario Liberals are looking for a new leader. Four potential candidates from within their provincial and federal ranks have expressed an interest.Also thinking about it? Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party of Ontario.That's because a group of Ontario Liberals think they'd be better off with Schreiner and have said so in a public letter. It's a bizarre and unprecedented move for some from a party that governed as recently as 2018 to see a saviour in the leader of a party who has never won more than a single seat.It's not the only bit of news coming out of Queen's Park, as the Ontario New Democrats have named their new leader in Marit Stiles and Premier Doug Ford is considering his response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's offer of new healthcare funding.There's lots to chat about in Ontario politics, so joining me this week on The Writ Podcast is Sabrina Nanji of Queen's Park Observer and John Michael McGrath, writer at TVO.org and co-host of the ONpoli podcast with Steve Paikin.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: ·        Canada – U.S. reach workaround deal on Nexus backlog ·        Joe Biden to visit Canada for the first time since becoming president ·        Trade talk ·        And more…. GUEST: Steven Chase, Senior Parliamentary Reporter for the Globe and Mail - This past Sunday, Canadians rallied in memory of the 176 people killed in the Iranian downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 in January 2020. On that flight were 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents, heading home to Canada via Kyiv, Ukraine. Instead, they were blasted from the sky by missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, never to see their loved ones again. The brutal attack shocked the world, yet to this day, Iran has not been held accountable for its crime. Three years have passed, with families still clamouring for justice — and wondering why their governments have not done more to get it for them. GUEST: Tasha Kheiriddin, Principal at Navigator and Author of The Right Path - The Ford government is facing furious criticism after internal documents, obtained by Global News, acknowledged that low wages and Bill 124 have had a negative impact on Ontario's ability to retain nurses in the province's health care sector. The internal government documents, which were intended to brief Health Minister Sylvia Jones on a wide range of issues related to her portfolio, cited the government's own wage restraint legislation and low pay as contributing factors in the province's health-care staffing issues. GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Publisher of the Queen's Park Observer

Labour tensions have been high in Ontario, after Doug Ford's government brought in a bill that imposed a contract on education workers and banned them from going on strike, invoking the notwithstanding clause in the process. That didn't prevent schools in much of the province from shutting down for two days and Ford subsequently backed down, promised to repeal the legislation and is back at the negotiating table.This comes only a few months since the Ontario PCs made inroads among working class voters in the June provincial election. Have those bridges with labour been burnt?To discuss the latest news from Queen's Park, as well as what is going on with the Ontario Liberal and NDP leadership races, I'm joined today by Sabrina Nanji of Queen's Park Observer and Larry Savage, professor in the department of Labour Studies at Brock University.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this discussion on YouTube.

All this talk about a Liberal-NDP merger in Ontario is utter nonsense. Why would the NDP waste any energy or time "merging" with the leaderless Liberals, when they're well positioned to stage a hostile takeover.  A re-energized NDP could easily render the Liberals irrelevant before the 2026 campaign.  Sabrina Nanji at the Queen's Park Observer quotes a pair of party insiders on their thoughts about the party's future. " — JONATHAN SCOTT, longtime operative who ran runner-up MICHAEL COTEAU's 2020 leadership bid: “[2022] could be an extinction-level event for the party, if the party doesn't learn the lessons voters are telling us. It's time to modernize, throw the doors wide open and build a new party from the ground up. It's time to be respectful and not talk down to people, especially in rural Ontario, and drop any attitude that we know best.” — KELLY FOOTE, veteran organizer and community activist: “The party's problems can't be fixed by the same people who presided over them.” Both great points. And both bits of advice should have been acted on 4 years ago.

With less than two weeks to go before election day in Ontario, David Coletto of Abacus Data and Sabrina Nanji of Queen's Park Observer are back to discuss the latest on the campaign trail, including the impact of Andrea Horwath and Mike Schreiner testing positive for COVID-19, what to make of Steven Del Duca's chances of winning his own riding and why Doug Ford is running such a low-key campaign.David also gives us a sneak peek at some exclusive polling on who won — or didn't win — Monday's leaders debate.The Writ is a reader-supported publication.

The Ontario Leaders' Debate did little to change much in the campaign except reinforce expectations. First, the format was a complete failure. Thanks to the media consortium, leaders' debates have been reduced to a complete waste of time. They do nothing to inform voters or the campaign. Because of that, Doug Ford didn't have to do much to do well. And he excelled at doing the least he could do. Mike Schreiner managed to punch above his weight - speed bagging Ford on a couple of occassions. He didn't do much damage but asserted himself as the leader who had a firm grasp on his files and the pulse in the province. Steven Del Duca got marks for exceeding expectations. But let's be real - he barely had to raise his foot off the ground to clear that bar.  And Andrea Horwath seemed to be running for Leader of the Opposition when she needs to be gunning for the big chair if she wants to keep her job as NDP Leader. The needles didn't change much, if at all but the knives are out already. Sabrina Nanji at the Queen's Park Observer says Horwath's lacklustre performance only lit a fire under the 901 movement. (NDP'ers ready to call for her resignation as soon as the polls close on June 2nd). Sabrina also teased a story she's working on that suggests the Liberals may be in the market for a new leader sooner than later. She's been in Del Duca's riding, talking to would-be voters and after a day of canvassing could only find a single person who KNEW Del Duca's name but wouldn't commit to voting for him.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: Conservative Leadership candidates Abortion rights Brown says he'll bring new Canadians to Conservative Party And more… GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - Several grassroots New Democrats say they're gearing up to throw out longtime Leader ANDREA HORWATH if she doesn't deliver on June 2. Queen's Park Observer spoke with seven NDP sources — including current and former members, staff and organizers — who say there's an organized grassroots push in the works to pressure Horwath to step down if she fails to form government, or worse, loses the Official Opposition status they managed to secure with 40 seats in 2018. The sources were granted anonymity in order to speak candidly and because they fear repercussions. Read the full article HERE.

Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman has announced he will not seek re-election in the fall. Instead, he is expected to land the Liberal nomination in the riding of Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte and challenge the incumbent Doug Downey, who is the Attorney General in Doug Ford's government. We also talk about Health Minister Christine Elliott's decision not to run for re-election in June.

With just 90 days to go before election day in Ontario, the parties at Queen's Park are already in campaign mode.

The calendar says we're ten months from Christmas but the gift giving season is already upon us in Ontario. The Ford government is already trotting out pre-budget trinkets aimed at helping folks cope with the increased cost of living. That includes giving up an estimated $1 billion dollars in annual revenue by cancelling annual licence plate fees. That amounts to less than 33 cents a day. Not even enough for you to buy a coffee at Timmie's.

How will that shape the ballot question for Doug Ford as we we head towards the June election here in Ontario.

GUEST: Oksana Kishchuk, Director of Strategy and Insights with Abacus Data - Millions of dollars in covid-19 support payments are going to thousands of businesses that shouldn't have been eligible for the money.

Great to have Sabrina Nanji at the Queen's Park Observer join this week's edition of On The Ledge. The province of Ontario has started rolling out its proof of vaccine QR code initiative. But it won't be implemented until October 22nd. The Ford government says they want to make sure businesses and individuals have enough lead time to load their QR codes before they go into use. But the overwhelming and, as of yet, unsatisfactorily answered question remains: why didn't the province include restaurants, bars and gyms in the plan to allow for full capacity? The announcement was a Friday Dump just before the Thanksgiving weekend and there has been no reason given for the discrepancy in the re-opening policy. The government will only say it wants to move slowly. Meanwhile, restaurant owners are losing their businesses.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario students will be required to wear masks and maintain physical distancing indoors wherever possible when they return to the classroom next month, but will be allowed to participate in many extracurricular activities that had been banned since the start of the pandemic. The province's back-to-school plan was released on Tuesday, after an academic year during which in-person learning was shut down for longer than anywhere else in Canada. Even though in-person classes will resume, families can continue with remote learning. Vaccinations for students 12 and older will be encouraged, but not mandatory. The plan drew criticism from teachers' unions and opposition parties, who have called on the government to reduce class sizes and do more to improve ventilation. Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, Theresa Tam, warned on Friday that Canada is in a race to vaccinate enough people to prevent a fourth wave that could overwhelm hospitals. Is the plan enough? GUEST: Ryan Imgrund, Biostatistician - A former leader of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation is set to run for the NDP in the riding of Brantford—Brant during the next provincial election. Harvey Bischof was introduced as a candidate by Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath at a press conference at North Park Collegiate in Brantford on Tuesday. Can Harvey help the NDP win over educators? ALSO: The Ontario Liberals are poised to get a high-profile candidate in Toronto. Dr. Nathan Stall, a member of the COVID-19 Science Table is expected to become the Liberal candidate in Toronto-St. Paul's, according to Queen's Park Observer. GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Founder of the Queen's Park Observer - In these calls between world leaders, it's not always easy to tell exactly how the discussion went. Comparing the public notes from the two governments, you can see that each is selectively leaving at least some things out. However, in comparing how each leader's office publicly recaps such a call, you can see their own priorities — what they want to be seen emphasizing to their own citizens, and which topics (like sports defeats) they'd prefer not to discuss back home. For instance: Trudeau's summary very prominently says they talked about “the benefits to each country of open government procurement.” Team Biden's recollection of the call doesn't include anything about procurement at all. So what exactly did they discuss? GUEST: Elliot Tepper, Emeritus Professor of Political Science with Carleton University

Rick Zamperin in for Bill. Vaccine certificates may aid in the economic and social reopening of Ontario, says ON science table. GUEST: Sabrina Nanji, Founder of the Queen's Park Observer. Nova Scotia Liberals are facing some heat after Dartmouth South candidate, Robyn Ingraham, was ousted with her racy "boudoir" photos as the cause.
