The State of Québec Politics with André Pratte

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

Welcome back, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites.

André Pratte is here! What a career Monsieur Pratte has had. A journalist for almost 40 years, rising to Editor-in-Chief of La Presse in Montreal. Author of several books on history, media and politics. He was appointed to The Senate by Prime Minister Trudeau in 2016, as part of the first wave of independent nominations, but resigned his position three years later disappointed by the continuing partisanship he saw in the upper house.

Today, André has taken up the mantle for the Parti Libéral du Quebec as President de la Commission Politique.

We’re going to talk about exactly what that role is. Why Quebec needs a Liberal Party. And why he’s taken on the task of rebuilding it. As well as the swirl of Quebec politics, writ large.
