The Herle Burly

It’s really difficult for me to imagine my life absent Ralph Goodale. Ralph took me under his wing when I was 18 and he was the tender age of 30. He taught me how politics was practiced and why it was important. Ralph has spent his life in politics and has proved to be unusually good at both the practice and the purpose of politics. For 40 years Ralph has not only been the most popular Liberal in Saskatchewan, but the only popular Liberal in Saskatchewan. In the last 50 years, 210 riding contests have happened in Saskatchewan, Liberals have won 19 of those 210; half of those wins are Ralph. Ralph's federal record is nine wins and four losses, every other Liberal candidate combined in Saskatchewan over that period of time: 10 wins, 188 losses. And through a succession of responsibilities and portfolios, he served Canada with great distinction, while always representing Saskatchewan, especially his beloved farmers. Last month Ralph was finally defeated in a tsunami of rage in the prairies. On this episode, Ralph joins me in studio to reminisce about his career, as well as the current state of politics in Canada.Thank you for joining us.YouTube youtu.be/reJJjXVSjV0iTunes http://tiny.cc/wygqcz Spotify http://tiny.cc/8xgqcz Stitcher http://tiny.cc/b0gqcz GooglePlay http://tiny.cc/49tkdz https://www.theherleburly.com/episodes

Do Don Cherry and Andrew Scheer have anything in common? Find out on this week's podcast panel with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. Our raucous panel joins The Herle Burly podcast every two weeks as we explore the state of our political affairs in Canada.

There are few names in Canada as synonymous with political talk radio as Charles Adler. Mr. Adler has been a household name for small-c conservative listeners on the AM dial for decades, but more recently, has been increasingly vocal about his personal objections to some on the right who seem unwilling to embrace what it means to live in a modern, inclusive society. Being from Montreal and having lived in Winnipeg, Calgary, and now Vancouver, Mr. Adler brings a unique perspective on recent feelings of Western alienation and what it will take for Canadians—and our governments—to keep this country intact. On this episode of The Herle Burly podcast, we’ll explore those feelings, as well as his views on the recent federal election.

As Canadians—including our newly elected politicians—navigate the post-election Minority Government, David Herle will continue to be joined on The Herle Burly podcast by Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid as we explore the state of our political affairs. Our raucous panel will continue to assemble every two weeks as we paddle our way through these minority waters.Disclaimer: newly invented profanity may accompany this podcast.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to be… Prime Minister. With ballots still be counted in some cases, Jenni, Scott and myself discuss the results of election 2019. What changed? Why did it change? And why you shouldn’t walk into your leader’s suite when they’re changing. Join us for our #ElectionNightEpisode on The Herle Burly.

We brought the whole election team together for a LIVE SHOW at the Pilot.Jenni Byrne, Scott Reid, Dennis Matthews and David Rosenberg join me for a drink, on stage, with a live audience, presented by the Canadian Club. With just days until the 2019 Federal Election in Canada, tune-in for our predictions, clashes, and laughs. We hope you’ll join us!

Welcome to the third and final Election Advertising episode for the 2019 federal campaign. With just days until the ballots are counted, the political parties are serving up their closing arguments to voters through every medium available, including of course, via advertising.Advertising gurus Dennis Matthews and David Rosenberg again join us to help us dissect how the ads help drive their GOTV strategy. Dennis and David (for the Conservative and Liberal Parties, respectively) have been responsible for so much of the notable election advertising in this country.Dennis managed, strategized and created advertising campaigns for Stephen Harper for over a decade, and his work helped Doug Ford to a majority victory in Ontario in 2018. Dennis now Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Enterprise Canada.David has created campaigns for Paul Martin, Kathleen Wynne and his ads played no small part in Justin Trudeau’s stunning majority 4 years ago. David is currently partner and Chief Creative Officer at Bensimon Byrne.

We’re just days away until all our election predictions come back to haunt us. The debates are over, the ads roar on, and the GOTV (Get Out The Vote) machines are fired up. On this episode of The Herle Burly podcast, David is joined by campaign strategists Jenni Byrne (Conservative) and Scott Reid (Liberal) to hear what each party is doing and why, but perhaps more interestingly, what each should be doing to make their closing arguments. This episode was recorded at the Orange Lounge on Queen Street West, Toronto.

The first all-leaders election debate is now behind us and the verdict is in: goat rodeo! David Herle sits down with campaign strategists Jenni Byrne (Conservative) and Scott Reid (Liberal) to break down the chaos and the consequences as we enter the final two weeks of Election 2019.
