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.
