The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The Liberal cabinet began three days of meetings in Vancouver today to hash out the government's fall playbook, with the rising cost of living and the state of the economy topping the agenda as Parliament prepares for the return of MPs. GUEST: Daniel Béland, Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada - On the Labour Day weekend, a devastating series of attacks resulting in deaths and others injured instantly made the James Smith Cree Nation internationally famous.

As we have tragically seen in recent years – in towns from Portapique, N.S. to Uvalde, Tex. – the disease of mass killings has nothing to do with a community’s ethnicity. The traumatized Indigenous community in Saskatchewan deserves better than this.  GUEST: Dr. Ken Coa

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast:  Ontario has basically lifted all its COVID-era public-health measures; the pandemic is essentially over, in an official sense, judging by how Ontario is handling it. An exception is the regulation that permits patients to be sent from a hospital to a long-term-care home, even against their will, or else be hit with heavy financial penalties.
