    New Petition Calls Him OUT! Why is This Canada Politician Allowed to Have NO Security Clearance?

    Should all Canadian politics leaders be required to undergo top level security clearance? The answer seemed so obvious, apparently nobody thought to write a law mandating it. Until now, with breaking news about a new parliamentary petition e-7148 which takes direct aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre over his refusal to receive top level security clearance for over 11 years, deceptively calling it a “gag order”. Bill discusses the implications of Pierre Poilievre’s highly suspicious refusal to follow the accepted political process in the context of national security, foreign interference, and Canadian politics news today. What is Pierre Poilievre trying to hide? Tune into Episode 369 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates. This Canada politics news update was recorded on February 9, 2026.

    Danielle Smith Threatens to Withhold Funding if PM Carney Doesn't Let Her Control New Judges

    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.
