The Herle Burly

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!First up is Mark Carney. Yup, that Mark Carney. The former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, Mark Carney. The Mark Carney who recently spoke at the Liberal Convention. But I have to ask: How much do you really know about this man? Today, we’re going to attempt to crack open The Carney. We’ll take a deeper dive into his story. Why a young, successful, master of the universe, Goldman Sachs guy, just quits – to become a bureaucrat in the Department of Finance. We’ll talk about the thesis of his new book “VALUE(S): Building a better world for all”. And we’re going to try to demystify the link between climate action and finance policy and what means for Canada.Part 2 of is our Political Panel with Jenni “Accept no bullshit” Byrne and Scott “I have no need of fancy grooming products” Reid. We’ll talk about the continuing Ford Fallout in Ontario. Sick Leave? What Sick Leave? The Vance sexual misconduct story. How compelling is this politically? And what about this angle: every day we’re talking about this story is another day we’re not talking about rapid testing or vaccines. Trudeau’s got the guns out in his vaccine photo op – but he’s been tardy on Travel bans. Plus, stick around for our “HEY YOUs!” this week.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.We have another 2-part podcast today.First up on the pod, we have post-budget panel: Kate Bezanson, Peter Nicholson, and Jim Stanford. Kate is an official Herle Burly Alumnus, appearing on the show back in July. She’s an Associate Dean of Social Sciences at Brock University and she’s written extensively – and presciently, as it turns out – on the need for government support of child-care in order to recover from this pandemic.Peter has served in numerous posts in government, business, science and higher education. His long public service career included positions as Head of Policy in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada and Clifford Clark Visiting Economist in Finance Canada. He’s written exclusively for our online publication “QUOTES” which you can find at AirQuotesMedia.com and ... he is a Member of the Order of Canada.And Jim is a 2019 Herle Burly Podcast Alumnus and the founder of The Centre for Future Work, a progressive think tank studying how work is changing in the modern economy. He was formerly Economist and Policy Director for Unifor. Among many media appearances, he’s a contributing columnist for the Toronto Star. That, my intrepid Herle Burly-ites, is a helluva lot of fiscal analytical firepower.Part 2 of the pod is the Political Panel, with our strategists and comms gurus from the furthest back of the backrooms — the secret backrooms where Prime Ministers just might hurl a telephone at the wall or tell you how crappy your last speech was — Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We’re going to pick up on all of the budget talk. We’ll dive into Erin O’Toole’s Carbon Tax masquerading as something called a “Low Carbon Savings Account” AND there are political sh!t shows that are manageable ... and then there’s the irretrievable sh!t show that is Doug Ford’s Ontario government right now. Finally, we’ll all throw our “HEY YOUs!” out into the digital void.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
