Bill reads the poem commonly known as ‘The Night Before Christmas’ and offers a holiday message to our listeners. Merry Christmas, happy holidays and let’s remember to enjoy all the feelings of love and peace we can find in the world.Watch on The Bill Kelly Podcast channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-IrbaCXw4A Visit from St. NicholasBy Clement Clarke MooreA Visit from St. Nicholas(2 versions)‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds;While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,With a little old driver so lively and quick,I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;So up to the housetop the coursers they flewWith the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;He had a broad face and a little round bellyThat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;A wink of his eye and a twist of his headSoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” This is a public episode.

In major US politics news today, Denmark has summoned their United States ambassador after President Donald Trump’s appointment of a special envoy to Greenland, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who proudly exclaimed his appointment hailed the start of a grand plan “to make Greenland a part of the US”.

In major Canadian politics news today, Conservative leader (for now?) Pierre Poilievre has continued his smear campaign against Prime Minister Mark Carney, and it’s not resonating with most Canadians.

In today’s breaking news update and Canadian politics PSA, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre offered Canadians a spectacular display of exactly why he will never be elected Prime Minister of Canada during a recent CBC interview with Rosemary Barton.For the sake of exposing Conservative lies, myths and talking points designed to obfuscate the facts about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership (and his near-Liberal majority after two MP defections from Poilievre’s own caucus), let’s fact-check in real time Pierre Poilievre’s claims in his CBC interview with Rosemary Barton, which aired last week.

For today’s news update, let’s fact-check (and frankly, roast) Pierre Poilievre’s recent video showcasing an extraordinary example of useless and wasteful Conservative political grandstanding. Honestly, I loathe to do this, but it’s an important PSA in Canadian politics news today. We’ll review one of Poilievre’s latest anti-Carney, anti-Liberal, ‘stuck in the political past’ speeches in the House of Commons in order to breakdown each manipulative half-fact and outright lie, minute-by-minute.

In Canadian politics news today, it’s the end of 2025 and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has successfully wasted our Parliament’s time and resources with a frivolous, intentionally misleading motion in the House of Commons meant to “force Carney’s Liberals to put up or shut up” when it comes to a (potential - there are no private investors, so this is an entirely irrelevant conversation to be having) pipeline major project.Thanks to Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party’s juvenile political antics by wasting Parliament’s time, Canadians will likely move into 2026 without the essential program funding outlined in Carney’s Liberal Budget.

In Canadian politics news today, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre shamelessly wastes Parliament’s time playing petty politics (again), pushing his own personal political agenda by putting forth a completely useless, irrelevant motion designed solely to embarrass Canada’s Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney. The real question is, could Poilievre be anymore arrogant while wasting Canadian taxpayers’ time and money? Canadians see through it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the see-through political plan backfires with members of Poilievre’s own party deciding to turn on him instead (again).Tune into Episode 297 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on December 8, 2025.Don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill’s work!

This should be BREAKING NEWS across Canadian news media, but I haven’t seen it reported with any urgency. Last week US President Donald Trump dropped a 33-page manifesto stating the White House’s strategic plan to take complete economic control of the western hemisphere, including Canada and its minerals and resources. I am not being hyperbolic.Trump’s team released the ‘National Security Strategy of the United States of America’ dated November 2025, in which the regime seeks to “discourage member nations from trade and dealing with other member nations”. Alarms should be ringing throughout the halls of Canadian Parliament, and I hope Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Canadian news media responds to these economic threats with the seriousness it requires.Tune into Episode 295 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on December 7, 2025.Don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill’s work!
