If it walks like a Trump, quacks like a Trump, and looks like a Trump… Let’s dive into some unsavoury truths about the racist underpinnings of Pierre Poilievre’s “Canada First” campaign, including his comments regarding the regressive notion of “Defunding Wokeism” and erasure of Canada’s history during his interview with fellow far-right ideologue, Jordan Peterson. We will also talk about the dangers of his promise to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause, and suspend Charter Rights and Freedoms.

In this episode of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the upcoming Canada Elections 2025, highlighting parallels between ultra right-wing political figures Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre. He emphasizes the importance of engagement in democracy and critiques the ideological control over education. Kelly also addresses the existence of racism in Canada and warns against the implications of the notwithstanding clause, advocating for the protection of civil rights and freedoms.
