Robert Fife of the Globe and Mail + the Political Panel with Jenni and Scott

You already know he’s the Ottawa Bureau Chief for The Globe and Mail. You already know he’s been the breaker of huge political stories, like the Senate Expense Scandal and SNC Lavalin. You already know that, unlike me, his head of hair is immaculate. So we’re going to talk to Bob about political journalism during this pandemic. How has it changed? Or not changed? What’s the balance between criticism and support? We’ll also talk about the state of politics generally, and the Bob Fife reporting method.

Plus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid are back for The Herle Burly #PoliticalPanel. We'll debate the centralization of political power in Ottawa, Andrew Scheer's ongoing flips and flops, and more seriously, the reopening of the economy.
