There was a lot more going on than could be published in our Winnipeg Sun exclusive about an impromptu meeting between Premier Wab Kinew and residents potentially impacted by his proposed Safe Consumption Site. Episode 26 brings you, 'The Rest of the Story'.Part 1- The Season Six Funding drive has reached $1660, a good pace to climb towards the $10,000 target. Our recent columns and podcasts about the Parking Authority ending cash parking payments, Winnipeg Transit reorganizing bus stops, and antisemitism within the LGBTQ+ communities opened eyes to the unaccountable behavior of the ruling and connected classes, proving our value in the media landscape.Today in the Sun- the review of drastic shortcomings in providing proper information to the public about Transit Route and concurrent four plex zoning changes provides evidence that when City Hall says they want public engagement, the talk doesn't match the walk. This old-fashioned reporting is made possible because taxpayers and residents know we are in their corner and they help make sure the ongoing costs and expenses are paid for. To contribute for Season Six, please use the PayPal and E-Transfer details on our Donate Page! 13.50 Part 2- On Saturday, Sun readers learned about how residents of Point Douglas and the East Exchange went to the Manitoba Legislature to watch their petition opposing the locating of the NDP's drug user site at 200 Disraeli Fwy. be tabled in the House. But they didn't see it happen, because in a crass political gambit, Wab Kinew gave them an ultimatum for a one-time-only meeting.In this segment, you'll hear more details about their disgust with the behavior of the NDP during Question Period, and confusion about why Kinew's first priority in the meeting was to shield the Main Street Project from withering criticism after they were caught setting up a riverbank encampment in North Point Douglas contrary to Kinew's avowed policy.Hear more about MSP's ongoing loss of trust in the community, and how Kinew and his Homelessness Minister Bernadette Smith tried to gaslight the residents that they don't represent the community and there is a groundswell of support for the drug site, that the Winnipeg police support the site going on Disraeli across from Argyle High School, and the NDP's insistence that 'the experts' know best."Basically he insinuated we're an uncompassionate bunch.”The key issue is that the residents are demanding to speak directly to the unnamed "experts", to get their plan for how the site will manage the influx of erratic drug addicts after the doors of the site close at 7 pm daily, and how they will create sufficient detox programs and treatment beds to handle the existing backlog. As the residents see it, the NDP plan will perpetuate and increase drug addiction under the guise of solving the problem. They live with the needles, human waste, violence, vandalism and robberies that the addicts inflict on their neighborhood- not Kinew, Smith or NDP House Leader Nahanni Fontaine. When Kinew bragged he consulted with BC's Premier Dave Eby about that province's failed drug site operations, he lost all credibility with the well-researched and educated parents, homeowners and stakeholders who populate the areas East of Main Street. Now, they're finding that no one will buy their houses, because of the uncertainty Kinew's plan is causing potential buyers.We have added comments from an area mother and housewife who wants to speak to Kinew's experts herself, because in her view, adding a Safe Consumption Site is "a band-aid fix" that won't alleviate the "open drug deals and strung out people" her kids are seeing and avoiding every day.46.10 - A wrap-up of the episode, and a look towards what's coming up in June.Please take a moment to support our efforts with a donation towards the Season Six costs!

Are Trump's tariffs illegal? How did Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney do in his first Question Period? Can we rely on the US judicial system to sort out this mess? Did Trump beg Qatar for a plane? Recent contradictory US court decisions surrounding Trump's tariffs created a whiplash effect throughout Canada's political and economic systems, making the truth more abundantly clear than ever: Canada MUST disconnect and remove its economic reliance on the United States as much, and as quickly, as possible. We must separate our economies, our technologies and our dependence on their “allyship”. Let's talk about Trump's tariffs and other news headlines from this eventful week in Canadian politics.In Episode 152 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill discusses the implications of recent political events in Canada, particularly focusing on Prime Minister Mark Carney's government and its relationship with the United States. The conversation highlights the ongoing economic challenges posed by U.S. tariffs, the need for Canada to diversify its economic and defense partnerships, and the importance of establishing a more independent stance in international relations. Bill expresses cautious optimism about the Carney government's approach to these issues and the potential for improved relationships with global allies.Become a YouTube channel member to hear Bill's stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

Indigenous leaders in Yukon say support for the search for unmarked graves near former residential schools appears to be diminishing.  Prime Minister Mark Carney makes his Question Period debut.  US President Donald Trump says Canada will have to pay 61 Billion USD to join Golden Dome missile defence system.  Israel says its forces have killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar.  World Meteorological Organization warns the next 5 years could be the hottest on record, and on average, warm by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.  Two men convicted in a cross-border human smuggling case to be sentenced in U.S.  US embassies around the world ordered to stop processing new visas for foreign students.

For just the third time in our country's history, a sitting monarch delivered the speech from the throne. On a brief royal visit, King Charles addressed Canadians to lay out the priorities of the new Carney government. The theme was clear, asserting Canada's independence and charting a path to end our reliance on the U.S. But did it hit the mark? Will the Prime Minister hit roadblocks with his ambitious plan? Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Lori Williams, a political scientist at Mount Royal University in Calgary. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Manitoba has already set records for this fire season… and it's not even June. Dry and hot conditions are fueling wildfires across the prairies, forcing thousands from their homes. And it's likely to get worse. The World Meteorological Organization says global records are likely to be shattered in the next few years. It means more heat in the Arctic, which will warm three times faster than the rest of the world.And: Another milestone for Prime Minister Mark Carney – his first Question Period.Also: Canada Post loses $1.3 billion in 2024. These numbers were released in the corporation's annual report as workers and management try to reach a deal.Plus: Police interviews of hockey trial defendants, removing carbon from the atmosphere, Gaza food chaos, a look inside the Saudi kingdom, and more.

Prime Minister Mark Carney traded barbs with Leader of the Official Opposition Andrew Scheer in his first question period appearance Wednesday, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was forced to spectate after the loss of his seat last month. CBC's Rosemary Barton and Radio-Canada's Louis Blouin grade Carney's performance. Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman explains her party's strategy while Poilievre is seatless. Plus, Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries president Christyn Cianfarani joins us from the security conference where Defence Minister David McGuinty vowed 'action to rebuild Canada's defence capacity.'

Mark Carney faces his first question period as Parliament gets back to work. What can we expect to see? Governments should call oil patch bluff to win carbon capture project commitment.

The last week of the federal campaign is anything but sleepy—Cheryl and Erika go full tilt on everything from budget bombs to Alberta bombshells.

The Registered nurses union are concerned about an N-L Health proposal to move women's health services from the Health Sciences into the Children's Hospital at the Janeway. Early last week during Question Period, the N-D-P tabled a 31-page document, from local pediatricians concerned about the proposed changes. (Krissy Holmes with Jenna Head, and Yvette Coffee)

Of all the techniques, methodologies and other pedagogical effects I employed in my teaching career, nothing beats this one.

In fact, the … Continue reading "Question Period"

FTR is heading over to the BC Legislature to attend Question Period and chat with a number of MLAs and staff. We'll have some exclusive interviews, analysis and commentary on how our provincial politicians are impacting the lives, commerce and vitality of New Westminster.

It's been a busy start to the new year with with a few big ticket events for the hosts Matt Stickland and Martin Baumen to break down. The Board of Police Commissioners meeting on Wednesday, December 8th, was one of the best meetings in HRM's recent history, which included five little piggies and some light-hearted civil disobedience. Matt's been doing a lot of research into road safety and tells Martin all about how much liability the city might have been putting itself in for the past few decades. Also, in this episode, a Grand Parade exclusive: Did Andy Fillmore think he would win the vote to de-designate encampments? And a debute of our new segment, Question Period.

A couple of weeks ago, the Department of Health announced a plan to double up 15 single-occupancy long-term care rooms in Corner Brook. On Monday, the provincial Seniors' Advocate released a statement opposing the plan. In that statement, Susan Walsh said such a move would impact privacy, dignity, infection control, visitation, patient safety, quality of care and person-centred focus for those people. Yesterday in the House of Assembly, the Premier backpedalled on that plan. Here's part of an exchange during Question Period about the well-being of Seniors in the province. We heard Opposition Leader Tony Wakeham, Deputy Speaker Sherry Gambin-Walsh, Premier Andrew Furey, and Health Minister John Hogan.

In Montreal, 8,000 people watched wreaths laid on the stage. In Toronto, 20,000 people recited the Kaddish prayer. An interfaith choir sung in Ottawa. All across Canada, tens of thousands of Canadians gathered to observe the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel and remember the Jewish victims who had Canadian ties. The Oct. 7 anniversary also sparked political controversy in the House of Commons, when Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre condemned the Liberal government's stance on Israel's right to defend itself, and for not doing more to curb the explosion of antisemitism we've seen in Canada after Oct. 7. While the prime minister was absent from Question Period—he spoke to Ottawa's Jewish community in person later that evening—all lawmakers in the House of Commons agreed to observe a moment of silence for the 1,200 Israeli victims of that dark day. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, you'll hear the politicians trade accusations across the floor of Parliament, and also hear some of what Jewish Canada sounded like from coast to coast, as Jews and non-Jewish allies marked the solemn anniversary of Oct. 7. What we talked about: Read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's statement on Oct. 7, 2024 and also watch his remarks and those of Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre speaking at the Jewish Federation of Ottawa's evening vigil. Watch the Montreal Jewish community memorial rally here. Watch the Toronto Jewish community rally here. Watch the Vancouver rally here.

In this episode of Is Parliament Shutting Down?, we dive into the controversies shaking the Canadian political landscape. First, we ask the burning question: Does pollster Angus Reid's outspoken political opinions undermine the credibility of his polling data? We break down the debate over whether his personal views discredit his widely circulated polls. Next, with rumors swirling, we examine how long Canada could see Parliament prorogued and what this shutdown could mean for the nation's governance. We also discuss the fallout from Pierre Poilievre's latest remarks.

300 Episodes... how did we do it. Couldn't have without you. Well I guess technically, this one doesn't count, as it's just us talking, but hey, we've been at this for a little over half a decade, let us have this one off please. Apologies for the terrible sound quality, but it was nice to just sit down, shoot the shit with a best friend, and have some fun. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled content next Thursday for the next forever. We love you all, thanks for your questions, and looking forward to doing one of these again for Episode 600 when my unborn child is 5.

The debate around how to pay nurse practitioners in the province is heating up again. Their provincial association says nurse practitioners should be able to bill MCP when practicing in a private clinic, just as family doctors do. The opposition PC's agree, and they've been pressing government on it in during Question Period in the House of Assembly. Travis Sheppard is president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Nurse Practitioner Association.

First on our agenda is the eruption of political chaos at the federal level, with scandals, showdowns, and shifting alliances dominating the discourse. We dissect the polarizing stances of Premier Ford and Prime Minister Trudeau as they speak out in support of Israel amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. The implications of their statements reverberate across the political spectrum, igniting fierce debates and sparking questions about foreign policy priorities. Amidst the chaos, we witness a dramatic meltdown during Question Period between the Liberals and Conservatives, exposing deep-seated divisions and raising concerns about the efficacy of parliamentary discourse. In a bid to address growing concerns about foreign interference in Canadian politics, the announcement of a foreign interference registry sends shockwaves through the political establishment. We analyze the motivations behind this initiative and its potential impact on safeguarding Canadian democracy. But that's not all – we explore the controversial introduction of Canada's departure tax, provoking outcry and debate over its fairness and implications for Canadians traveling abroad. And in a bizarre twist, we uncover the public shaming of the Canadian military's new logo, raising questions about branding, symbolism, and the role of public perception in shaping national identity.  0:00 - Intro 3:30 - Political Federal Chaos  24:27 - Ford and Trudeau Speak out in Support of Israeli's 34:00 - Breaking Down the Question Period Meltdown 47:00  - Foreign Interference Inquiry Registry 01:07:46 - Canada's Departure Tax 01:15:40 - The Canadian Military's New Logo?

A vehicle speeding toward a U.S.-Canada bridge from the American side crashed and exploded at a checkpoint in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, killing two people and prompting the closing of multiple border crossings for hours. Authorities weren't sure what spurred the wreck but said there were no signs it was a terror attack.The FBI's Buffalo office said late Wednesday that it had concluded its investigation: “A search of the scene revealed no explosive materials, and no terrorism nexus was identified,” it said in a statement. “The matter has been turned over to the Niagara Falls Police Department as a traffic investigation.”Much remained unclear about the incident at the Rainbow Bridge, which prompted concerns on both sides of the border as the U.S. headed into the Thanksgiving holiday. Both U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were briefed soon afterward, and Trudeau excused himself from Question Period in the House of Commons to get further information, saying officials were “taking this extraordinarily seriously.”READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/border-crossing-closed-us-canada-bridge-explosion/507-8a6f7a1c-4586-4188-809b-96463d63fcf5
