Hearing @MarkJCarney call Ottawa “the city that never wakes up” ON the day that I move there... @TheHerleBurly taking the wind out of my sails

@NCC_Skateway December 28!

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Top 2% 💪💪 @CurseOfPolitics thanks for another year

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@darrellbricker @JohnIbbitson Congratulations - can’t wait to read this one! Thanks for signing my copy. Your podcast with @spaikin was excellent!

@airquotesmedia "The label of “toxic masculinity” was rightfully meant to call out harmful behaviours. Instead, it has ballooned into a suspicion of masculinity itself.... Masculinity channeled into team spirit, discipline, and community is an asset, not a liability" 👏

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

!!!!!! can't wait!

[John Ibbitson @JohnIbbitson]

I’m old school (or just old), so the final proof has to be on hard copy.

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Excited to dive into this! @JohnIbbitson @WestboroBooks

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Why mess with a good thing… thanks for another year of political insights @TheHerleBurly @CurseOfPolitics

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Spotify tells me I spent 2634 minutes listening to the @CurseOfPolitics so far this year. Thanks for the laughs & insights @TheHerleBurly @_scottreid

A humble request for more @lraitt on the pod

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

An excellent passage in the chapter on The Chief, “Yet to pronounce John Diefenbaker a failure as prime minister is to let the foibles of the man obscure the accomplishments of his governments… We are the inheritors of Diefenbaker’s legacy, and we undervalue that legacy…”

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

During my time @queensu it was rare for me to hand in a politics paper without citing @JohnIbbitson at least once. This book was a delight and it’s a must-read for politics and history lovers.

John — how might a girl get these signed?

🚨🤩 cancelling my evening plans

🚨NEW POD🚨

Well greetings, you ever-curious Herle Burly-ites! I’m excited about this pod and the conversation we’re about to have, for a couple of reasons. First is, our guest today is the ONLY GUEST we’ve ever had on the show, or likely WILL EVER have, who has stepped foot in my hometown of Prelate, Saskatchewan...

The great @JohnIbbitson joins us!

We’re going to look back on the DiefenPearson years. John’s new book is “The Duel: Diefenbaker, Pearson, and the Making of Modern Canada.” About how these 2 leaders, fierce rivals who came from very different places and backgrounds, worked to establish policy and political norms that built the country we all recognize today. We’ll talk about all of that and we’ll also talk about how, in this current climate of political polarization, those norms may be under threat.

You all know John. One of this country’s foremost authors and journalists. He’s currently a Writer-at-Large for the Globe and Mail. He also served as Chief Political Writer, Political Affairs columnist and Bureau Chief in both Washington and Ottawa. John’s previous books include the number 1 bestselling “The Big Shift” (with Darrell Bricker), and “The Polite Revolution: Perfecting the Canadian Dream”. And among a ton of other accolades, he’s a winner of the Governor General’s Award, and he’s been shortlisted for the Donner Prize and National Newspaper Award.

@CurseOfPolitics @TheHerleBurly “I can’t afford to be a swiftie” finally, some pop culture references for the pod’s twenty-somethings

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Just finished @Billbrowder’s Freezing Order. Equally as chilling and hard to put down! Loved the references to Canada’s legislation

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Just finished Red Notice @Billbrowder! Chilling story (I will admit that I had to stop reading it before bed). Hope to see this turned into a film!

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@howardhyeung Ahhh I didn’t see you there!! We were up top. So good!

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

Politics and Punchlines did not disappoint!

[Steve Paikin @spaikin]

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@katemckenna8 Everyone keeps talking about Twitter being on its last legs but where else will I find content like this

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@CurseOfPolitics @TheHerleBurly @_scottreid @JordanLeichnitz @airquotesmedia @TELUS @CNRailway @PortVancouver On the importance of branding: “get it done!” vs “I cant remember” 😂

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@ParlCharlie What’s the difference between the two?

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

This Dr. and Mrs. thing will probably have me enrolling in a PhD program by years end 💍 🍾

[Andrea Colasanti @colasanti__]

@IPAC_IAPC @MKhannam1 This discussion was excellent! I’ve added “Empathy: Turning Compassion into Action” to my reading list
