Do “tough on crime” policies work, and are they even legal? Is it a big deal that Pierre Poilievre used government money to host not one, but two, golf tournaments? And why are Conservatives such hypocrites, when it comes to Mark Carney’s investments?

In Episode 121 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the upcoming general election and the leaders' debates. He provides updates on Pierre Poilievre's compliance agreement with Elections Canada, critiques Poilievre's attacks on Mark Carney, and examines the historical context of the 'get tough on crime' agenda. Kelly also delves into the implications of the notwithstanding clause and emphasizes the importance of public engagement in political discourse, inviting listeners to participate in the upcoming live debate coverage.
