John Webster + the Political Panel

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.

Alright, it’s time for another Herle Burly 2-part pod!

Part 1, is John Webster. Besides being my friend and former colleague in Liberal politics, John is the President and CEO of the Scotiabank Mortgage Authority. We’re going to talk housing and affordability in this country. How we got to this point and where it’s going from here. And we’re also going to rewind it all the way back to the 1988 Federal Election. Webster was the National Campaign Director for John Turner. A coup was attempted to remove Mr. Turner as leader, right in the middle of that campaign. We’re going to reveal what really happened there.

Part 2 of the pod is our no holds barred, no quarter given Political Panel with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. Lots to discuss, and cuss about, today:

• Steve Outhouse, Deputy Chief of Staff for Erin O’Toole, has a side hustle, moonlighting as a paid consultant for prospective Conservative candidates.
• Pierre Poilievre made a video. A really good video! A tight, 30 seconds of inflation-fighting superhero, Pierre.
• And then of course, we’ve got this upcoming election. What’s the damn thing about? And is it going to be Trudeau’s last?
• Plus, stick around for #HeyYou!
