But, you probably know that too. Here’s one you don’t know: in 2008, after the 2006 federal election, Peter Mansbridge picked me picked me off of the junk heap of political campaigns and put me on CBC's The National for ten years to analyze Canadian politics.We’re going to talk to Peter today about a bunch of things, including his favourite players who played the game of politics, his latest book called "Extraordinary Canadians", and we're going to talk about the state of the media today.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
