The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! The federal election winds are blowing strong with Mark Carney being sworn in as Prime Minister and an expected election soon.  So, an election readiness pod for you today. Centred around NOT the Liberals or Conservatives, but rather, the NDP. Jennifer Howard, National Campaign Director for the NDP, joins us.Proud prairie girl, Manitoba born and raised, Jennifer served as a cabinet minister in successful NDP governments in that province. She has served as Chief of Staff for Jagmeet Singh since 2018 and helmed the last 2 federal elections as Campaign Director. So, there’s nobody better placed to talk about where NDP fortunes currently reside and how they intend to move forward during the writ.This is going to be a frank conversation. How is the party responding to declining poll numbers? There are leadership questions as Mr. Singh’s own numbers are sagging. We’ll talk about those challenges, and also, the opportunities for the NDP to shape the fight ahead, in an election context unlike any other.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.
