André Picard + the Political Panel

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, it’s time for another Herle Burly 2-part pod!Part 1 is award-winning, national health writer Andre Picard. Mr. Picard is one of Canada’s top health and public policy observers and commentators. He’s been writing for The Globe and Mail since 1987, is an 8-time nominee for the National Newspaper Awards and is the author of 5 bestselling books. His latest is “Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada’s Elders in the wake of a Pandemic.” We’ll be taking a deep dive into that and what needs to be done to improve the state of care for our elders.Part 2 this week, as it is every week, is our Political Panel with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We’re going to talk about:Jason Kenney wielding the axe in an effort to quell caucus unrest.The continuing saga of Doug Ford and the reopening of Ontario.His government voted down a NDP motion to listen to the science table and allow outdoor activities.And the Feds are rolling out their vaccine comms but it sounds like a bad Netflix show to me: “One-dose summer. Two-dose fall”, (starring Jason Bateman and Drew Barrymore). We’ll pull it apart and weigh in on whether comms like that helps, hinders or just kinda sits there on the sidelines, ignored like so many Astra Zeneca vaccines.Finally, stick around as we throw our “HEY YOUs” out into the nether regions of social media.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
