Jackie Choquette is an Executive VP of the Ontario Liberal Party. In this podcast, we talk about her small-town beginnings, how she got started in politics, and some of the struggles along the way. We also discuss the gender imbalance in Canadian politics, the barriers facing women when they enter the field, and what she’s encountered over her career.

Jackie is a rising, under-the-radar star, and in this interview you understand why. She is engaging, transparent and clear-eyed. For anyone looking at politics, or those who want a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes, particularly for women, you won’t be disappointed.
