Time's up for anyone mulling a bid to lead the Liberal Party. With the deadline to enter behind them, candidates have just a few days left to sign up new members, and a little over a month to drum up support. One of the frontrunners joins The House in studio: former finance minister Chrystia Freeland sits down with host Catherine Cullen to make her case for running the countryThen: Ontario Premier Doug Ford has confirmed he'll call a snap election next week and send Ontarians to the polls at the end of February. The Toronto Star's Queen's Park bureau chief discusses whether voters will reward Ford, or if they'll be turned off by the timing.After that, we take a close look at an ongoing economic headache that doesn't involve Donald Trump: trade between provinces. Premiers hope that breaking through interprovincial barriers can in fact better protect against Trump's tariffs. But experts and former officials say getting rid of those barriers is a tall order — and there hasn't been much success in the past.Finally, as several Liberal leadership candidates distance themselves from the carbon tax, and as Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada's economy, do the Conservatives need to shift their campaign focus? Two strategists weigh in on how their party is reacting to recent events.This episode features the voices of:Chrystia Freeland, Liberal leadership candidateRobert Benzie, Queen's Park bureau chief for the Toronto StarPhilippe Couillard, former Quebec premierPerrin Beatty, former federal cabinet ministerCarlo Dade, director of trade infrastructure at the Canada West FoundationChad Rogers, Conservative strategistFred DeLorey, Conservative strategist

Ep 486 - Can First Nations Save Canada's Economy? Guest: Chris Sankey   By Stuart McNish   “Canada's per capita growth has been negative three out of the last four quarters,” says Perrin Beatty, the President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. He adds, “Canada needs to do more to attract investment” – a sentiment that was recently shared by a panel of experts for “Conversations Live” about economic reconciliation. Haisla Chief Counselor Crystal Smith said, “First Nations hold the key to the country's economic future.”   It is a belief held by Indigenous businessman Chris Sankey, who says that “we can't afford to obstruct BC's energy sector any longer.” In an op-ed for the Vancouver Sun, Sankey said, “The chilling effect on the investment landscape of our region and of Canada in general has been terrible.”   Moving forward, Sankey is looking to LNG to generate jobs and economic growth. He says, “More than a billion dollars in indigenous procurement spending and benefits have already been negotiated with Coastal GasLink, Kitimat LNG and Woodfibre LNG. And should the Haisla make a final investment decision on Cedar LNG, the opportunities will continue to grow for everyone – not just First Nations. Everyone.”   We invited Chris Sankey to join us for a Conversation That Matters about economic reconciliation and how it can reverse Canada's sinking attractiveness to investors.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. We have the Honourable Perrin Beatty here with us today. Mr. Beatty is the President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canada's largest national business association. Prior to joining the Chamber, he was the President and Chief Executive of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters. Business has always been in his blood, and this is the part of his life that we'll largely be focussing on today. But he's probably known to most as the long serving Progressive Conservative MP first elected to Parliament at the age of 22! And a Minister of 7 different departments including National Revenue, Solicitor General and Secretary of State for External Affairs. In 2018, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions to the development of our nation as a politician and corporate leader. So, here's where we're going with this conversation:We're going to talk investment vs spending in the context of long-term growth. How unaligned the parties seem to be when it comes to business interests. What is the business community's view of increasing inequality? And why is there increasing disengagement of business people from the political life of the country.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.
