Minister Joly did not mince words with her pointed comments, addressing “the elephant in the room” and making it quite clear: PM Mark Carney’s Government of Canada will not tolerate any blackmail, backstabbing or threats to our national security and essential steel industry.

    Canadian PM Mark Carney STOPPED Blackhawk Helicopters Purchase from United States!? 👀

    Let’s talk about some huge news for Canada’s military and defense strategy that didn’t get very much attention this week. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the decision to pause the purchase of American Blackhawk helicopters, and the speculation is it was a political decision. Not everyone in Canada’s military and defense industry is pleased, but then again, these are abnormally critical times in US-Canada trade. Let’s talk about it!

    Should the Canadian Government Nationalize Our Steel Industry to Save it?

    With all the drama happening between Stelco and it’s American-controlled board of directors decided to renege on their deal with the Canadian Government, issuing mass layoffs despite receiving millions of taxpayer funded incentives and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government threatening legal action, what solutions are there? Many Canadians are arguing for nationalizing the steel industry, since it will be so instrumental in many federal development projects already underway and in the works. Let’s talk about what that process could entail and compare it to other Canadian examples. Tune into Episode 527 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily news updates.
