The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. 

Alright you loyal and courageous Herle Burly-ites. A timely and important pod with a very special guest, the Honourable Rachel Notley is here!

Ms. Notley served as the 17th Premier of Alberta and is currently a member of the legislative assembly for Edmonton-Strathcona, and leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party. A lawyer before entering politics, focussing on labour law and workers’ rights, she was first elected in 2008 and won the leadership of her party in 2014 on the first ballot, with 70% of the vote. Ms. Notley then went on to win a majority government in the 2015 provincial election, ending 44 years of continuous rule by the Progressive Conservatives.

Here’s where I’d like to take this today:

• We’re going to get Ms. Notley’s assessment of the current UCP government under Danielle Smith.
• What’s right and fair with respect to energy policy?
• Her take on the health accord and what should happen with health care, writ large.
• The state of the federation and how to address the Alberta anger and alienation.
• What’s the path to victory for the Ms. Notley and the NDP in the upcoming election?
