Description

It’s another Herle Burly 2-part pod for you today.

For Part 1, we have Frances Donald in the Zoom box. Ms. Donald is Managing Director, Global Chief Economist and Global Head of Macroeconomic Strategy at Manulife Investment Management. In 2019 at 33 years of age, she became the youngest Chief Economist in Canada. And one of only two women to hold that title in this country. Among other things, we’re going to talk about the budget ... what is the right budget for Canada, right now? And what can we afford?

Part 2 of the podcast is the Political Panel with our comms and campaign gurus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We’re going to talk about:

• Erin O’Toole’s response to Liberal claims that he’s some kind of far-right Canadian Trump Monster.
• Yves Blanchet’s drive-by smearing of Omar Alghabra.
• With the Inauguration down south Scott and Jenni and I will discuss transition of power – Chretien to Martin to Harper to Trudeau – and we’ll tell some of those stories.
• And finally, it’s the end of KeyStone XL.

Plus, #HEYYOU!
