The Bill Kelly Podcast: We can safely predict that the Liberal Party will improve its standing in the Ontario Legislature after the June 2 election. But that may not save its leader, Steven Del Duca.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Topics Include: Bill 96 Could Canada’s gun laws change soon? The Liberal-NDP deal And more…. GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - The continuing surge in consumer prices has forced central banks to pivot abruptly in recent months from attempting to stimulate the economy to trying to cool it down. It’s also forcing central bankers to do some soul-searching. The Bank of Canada, like many central banks overseeing advanced economies, was slow to start raising rates, even as it became clear that high inflation was not going to be a temporary blip. That now looks like a costly error. It has dented central bank credibility and forced policy makers to slam on the brakes, upending financial and housing markets and increasing the likelihood of a recession.

In Hungary, just a few weeks ago, autocrat Viktor Orbán was comfortably re-elected, despite every opposing party uniting forces as a coalition to try and defeat him. These events, and many more, raise the question; is democracy on the decline globally? Objectively, the answer is clearly yes.
