The Herle Burly

She was the first woman premier of Ontario. She was the first openly gay head of state for a government in North America. She was my boss. She was a great leader and she is an even better person.Before her premiership ended in June of 2018 with a historic defeat, her government made education a priority, implemented universal pharmacare coverage for children, took action to fight climate change through a multi-jurisdictional cap-and-trade market, raised wages for the lowest paid workers, and ultimately led the country to expand retirement security for all Canadians.It was the pleasure of my life to work with her. Please join us to hear her story, her politics, and her legacy.Watch conversations from The Herle Burly on YouTube.The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as OREA and Queen's Park Today.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

I'm thrilled to welcome Keith Boag and Neil Macdonald to the podcast after recent retirements from the CBC.Both Neil and Keith spent years working in the United States. They stand witness to the demise of journalism and of American democracy, and today, we’re going to talk about both.Keith Boag was with the CBC for more than 30 years, including as Chief Political Correspondent. His career included work for many years in Washington, D.C., and as Ottawa Bureau Chief. Keith covered seven federal elections in Canada, ten party leadership campaigns, as well as several US elections.Neil Macdonald spent 43 years reporting on politics, wars, elections, revolutions, booms, crashes, and coups. In 2015, Neil moved back to Canada after 17 years in the United States, 12 of which he spent in Washington, D.C. as the Washington bureau correspondent for The National.Needless to say, they've covered it all, and I'm thrilled they took the time to sit down with us for a no filter conversation about the state of US politics and the decline of journalism. *This conversation was originally recorded on February 5, 2020, just after the Iowa caucus and before the New Hampshire primary*A big thank you to Canada2020 for graciously hosting us at their HQ for the recording.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

Introducing candidates for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party: Michael Coteau, Brenda Hollingsworth, Alvin Tedjo, Kate Graham, and Mitzie Hunter.We’re just six people sitting in a studio, no table, no podiums, with me as debate cop, here to arrest any canned talking points immediately. Join us to hear why they should be party leader and premier. And perhaps most importantly, learn if they’re cat or dog people.The sixth candidate in the race, Steven Del Duca, declined to participate.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

John Stackhouse spent close to 25 years at the Globe and Mail, first as a foreign correspondent, editor of Report on Business and then finally, Editor-in-Chief at the newspaper. Today, he’s a Senior Vice-President, office of the CEO at the Royal Bank of Canada where he advises leadership on emerging trends in the Canadian economy, with a particular focus on technological change and innovation in this age of disruption. He’s also the author of 3 books, with a fourth coming out in April.But John just returned from the “crazy, unique thing” that is Davos and so we’re going to talk about the business community, what role it’s playing positively or negatively and what role it can play in addressing the great problems of the world. And more specifically, we’ll get into climate change and how we need to reframe the energy transition as an opportunity for business, and finally the case for reshaping capitalism.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

Patricia “Pat” Sorbara has been a backroom political operative for more than forty years. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the gritty work of managing Liberal campaigns, big and small, in Canada.In an industry dominated by men we thought it would be both appropriate and fun to have podcast contributor Jenni Byrne—who shared with Pat some of the same obstacles and experiences in politics—lead the interview.In this episode of The Herle Burly podcast, Pat joins us, not just to discuss her recent book, “Let ’Em Howl: Lessons from a Life in Backroom Politics” but to dive deep into the ground game operations of political campaigns, women in politics, and the election moments that broke our hearts.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
