Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Another special LIVE podcast for you today: My interview with The Honourable Wab Kinew, Premier of Manitoba!

It was recorded on October 23rd with the Empire Club of Canada. And it felt really good – at least for a week – to trade in the ZOOM room for a big fancy BALLROOM with lots of engaged Canadians in attendance… and ready access to rum and coke.

Premier Kinew doesn’t need much of an introduction from me. He’s the 25th Premier of Manitoba, leading the NDP to a majority government in 2023, becoming the province’s first, First Nations Premier. First elected as the MLA for Fort Rouge in 2016. He holds a BA in Economics from the University of Manitoba and a master’s degree in Indigenous Governance. From the Onigaming First Nation in northwestern Ontario, he’s a bestselling author, former broadcaster, devoted dad and husband.

Premier Kinew joined me to talk a little more about his background and why he got into politics. His agenda for Manitoba. Charter rights and the notwithstanding clause. Nation building and the Churchill Project. Trade, tariffs and the state of our broader relationship with the U.S.

We have a particularly notable guest on the pod today, for all you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. A man with one of those CVs that make you question why you even have a CV.

Rahm Emanuel is here!

• Adviser to President Bill Clinton
• Elected and then re-elected 3 more times to the U.S. House of Representatives
• House Democratic Caucus Chair
• Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
• White House Chief of Staff under President Barack Obama
• 55th mayor of Chicago
• Former United States Ambassador to Japan
• It’s a CV that’s still in progress!

So, today I want to talk a little bit more about… Mr. Emanuel’s backstory and what continues to motivate his political life. The changing role the U.S. is playing on the world stage. How Democrats can reconnect with working people to form a new, winning voter coalition. And I want to explore the how Trump is changing the Canada/U.S. relationship and what our relationship into the future.

Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! A helluva lot of political gravitas with our guests on the pod today.

We’ve convened our #PremiersPanel with 3 former 🇨🇦 premiers to help us sort through how we’re doing across the country to prepare for hard times ahead, and of course, how we’re dealing with Trump 2.0.

So I'm pleased to welcome back to the pod:
Christy Clark, the 35th Premier of B.C.
Stephen McNeil, the 28th Premier of Nova Scotia.
And Kathleen Wynne, the 25th Premier of Ontario.
