In breaking news today, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has doubled down on her Trumpian political tactics, publicly demanding that Prime Minister Mark Carney allow her to meddle in Canada's politically-independent judiciary system or she will ‘withhold funding' from the judicial appointment process. Danielle Smith told PM Carney in a letter that she wants be consulted on all future appointments to Alberta's Court of King's Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Let's talk about why this is a terrible idea…This shocking move comes just days after Alberta's three chief justices issued a rare public statement, warning that democracy only functions when all three branches of government operate independently and respect each other's role. Premier Smith has declared her desire to “direct” judge appointments in the past and has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause four times in the last sitting of Parliament alone.Tune into Episode 366 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This Canada politics news update was recorded on February 4, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

In major Canada politics news this week, the threat of Alberta separation is escalating across Canadian politics. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she "supports a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada" which sounds like an oxymoronic statement, to me. If Danielle Smith truly believes in a united Canada, her policy actions don't reflect that.Danielle Smith's hypocrisy is especially evident in light of the breaking news that Alberta separatists have been meeting with US President Donald Trump's administration. The group is seeking a possible $500-billion US line of credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll Alberta independence, a move that BC Premier David Eby called “treasonous”.

Do you think it's a coincidence that US President Trump changed his tune about Greenland almost immediately after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech in Davos, in which he solemnly pledged: Canada's “commitment to Article 5 is unwavering”, “we stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark”, in addition to emphasizing Canada's continued investment in Arctic sovereignty, defense and building our Arctic military presence?In breaking world news the next day, Donald Trump meekly walked back his stance regarding imposing heavy tariffs on EU nations that did not support his takeover of Greenland, as well as his threat to use American military operations in order to do so.Tune into Episode 351 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This politics news analysis was recorded on January 22, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

In Canadian politics news today, the topic of Canada's national security is on everyone's mind as multiple pivotal strategic military and defense decisions loom before Prime Minister Mark Carney's government, as US President Donald Trump's western hemisphere domination plans, threats to Greenland and NATO become bolder and clearer by the day.

In Canadian politics news today, Bill responds to a comment we get a lot on the channel, which essentially calls on Prime Minister Carney to drop the deal for more F-35 fighter jets with the United States in favour of building up Canada's military by partnering with Sweden's Saab to purchase made-in-Canada Gripen E fighter jets instead.Prime Minister Carney has put the deal on hold for a “review process”, seemingly using it as a bargaining chip in CUSMA trade deal negotiations. But perhaps Canada, and the shifting global political landscape, would benefit more from Carney's political leadership, boldly refusing further intertwine our militaries and giving the US regime a taste of its own non-compliance medicine.Tune into Episode 341 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times.This podcast was recorded on January 10, 2025.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

In Canadian politics news today, with Prime Minister Carney's upcoming trade trip to China, the spin doctors have been hard at work this week. Let me fix the title of an op-ed published yesterday titled “Carney Cozying Up to China Aligns Us With Those Who Would Destroy Us”… And let's review pertinent Canadian politics history to see which party has traditionally laid the political framework aligning Canada's economy towards trade deals with China.New data shows Canada's trade with other countries is up, and trade with the United States is down.

In today's politics news update, Bill looks at three political messages espoused by pro-democracy politicians in the United States, including segments of recent speeches by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during the inauguration of New York City's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani and an article in The Atlantic about Gavin Newsom. Which political messaging strategy do you resonate with the most, or are these policies “too radical” as some pundits insist? Is one message strong enough to be the catalyst that heals American democracy? Or will it take a spectrum?

Pete Souza was the Chief Official White House Photographer for the entire tenure of the presidency of Barack Obama. He is the author of several books, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Obama: An Intimate Portrait and Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents. A photojournalist since the late 1970s, Souza was also an official White House photographer during the Reagan administration, a freelance photographer for Life and National Geographic, and the Washington-based natural national photographer for the Chicago Tribune. A documentary about his work at the White House, The Way I See It, was nominated for an Emmy, and its Premier was the highest rated non-news, non-live program in MSNBC history. He is a professor emeritus at Ohio University's School of Visual Communication. In 2021, Souza was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame. Pete has brilliantly captured on film so many incredible moments in modern presidential history. But he also has a great way with words, and joins me for an insightful chat about Donald Trump's unconscionable architectural and design assault on The White House, the defiling of The Kennedy Center, and his utter disdain for protocol, the rule of law, and history.
