Kathleen Petty + the Political Panel with Jenni and Scott

Welcome to our first Herle Burly of 2021 ... it’s a jam-packed 2-parter!

For Part 1, we have Kathleen Petty ZOOMING into the show from Alberta. A co-founding producer and host at CBC Newsworld, Kathleen was the long-time host of “Today from Calgary”. Today, she’s executive producer of CBC News in Calgary and the host of the "West of Centre" podcast, providing news and analysis with a Western voice and perspective. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today ... Western Canadian issues ... before COVID ... during COVID ... and hopefully, after COVID.

Part 2 of the podcast is our “Vacation Indignation & Resignation Special!”, featuring our Political Panel ... Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We’ll talk about the fallout for Doug Ford following the Rod Phillips debacle, as well as similar dynamics playing out in Alberta, with various UCP MLAs getting on planes and taking vacation despite the lockdown.

And we’ll each throw our first “HEY YOU!” of 2021 into the digital ether.
