Jane Philpott + the Political Panel with Jenni and Scott The Herle Burly

    • Politics

After a notable career as a family physician, Dr. Jane Philpott was elected as a Member of Parliament in 2015 and served as a cabinet minister in numerous positions including Minister of Health, Minister of Indigenous Services and President of the Treasury Board… until 2019. In February of this year, Dr. Philpott was appointed Dean of the Queen’s University Faculty of Health Sciences and Director of The School of Medicine. On today's pod we’re going to get Jane’s take on COVID preparedness, the tragedy surrounding long-term care in this country, and, we’ll also talk about her time in government and why it wasn’t quite what she expected.

Plus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid are back for The Herle Burly Political Panel. We'll debate guns, oil, and not selecting Carolyn Wilkins as Governor of the Bank of Canada.
