An academic by training, today Mr. Brodie is as Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary. But as many of you know, he was central to the founding of the Conservative Party of Canada, and its Executive Director. When Prime Minister Harper was elected in 2006, he became his first Chief of Staff. We’re going to talk about what he imagined the Conservative Party to be, what it is today, and how it can win again.Part 2 of the pod is what “Part 2 of the pod” always is – our weekly cussin’, fightin’ and laughin’ session – better known as the Political Panel with Jenni Byrne & Scott Reid. This week we’re going to dive into:The looming Conservative Party Policy Convention and the equally looming pressure Erin O’Toole is facing as leader.Apparently, there’s not going to be a federal budget—remember those things—until mid-April at the earliest, so we’ll chat about framing for an upcoming election.Plus ... #HEYYOU!Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

Alright, welcome in Herle Burly-ites! It’s time for another 2-part pod on The Herle Burly.Part 1, I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Jagmeet Singh to the pod. You all know Mr. Singh as the Leader of the New Democratic Party. But do you really know Mr. Singh? Well, we’re going to dive into his personal story and path to leadership. And then we’re going to spend some time discussing where the NDP are right now and his plans moving forward.Part 2 of the pod is Jenni Byrne & Scott Reid, and me ... “3 Cranks Taking Turns Being Fractious and Having a Few Laughs” ... better known as The Political Panel:We’ll talk about what the Feds seem to want us to believe will be the most fantastical, supernatural budget of all time – once it finally gets here – but March would be a good guess. We’ll head East and dissect what’s going on in the Newfoundland Election and chat about Nova Scotia’s change in Premier. On the heels of my tweet last weekend, and what might be the worst set of polling data I’ve ever seen for the Conservatives ... Erin O’Toole has a new ad out, re-introducing himself to Canadians.And I’ll ask the panel some of the same questions I put to Mr. Singh (The interesting thing about that is, we recorded the panel prior to my interview with the Leader). Plus, stick around for our new closing segment: #HEYYOU!Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
