I’m as confused as you. Or at least, confused enough to bring in some reinforcements.
On the morning after the astonishing US election results, I reconvened the panel I debuted here several weeks ago to make sense of Donald Trump’s re-election and speculate about what it all means for Canada. I’m once again pleased to be joined by:
Marci Surkes, who was Justin Trudeau’s policy director from 2019 to 2022 and is now Chief Strategy Officer at Compass Rose;
Garry Keller, who was chief of staff to John Baird in government and Rona Ambrose in opposition, and is now a Vice President at StrategyCorp;
and Allison Gifford, who worked with Jack Layton in 2011 and is now VP (Policy and Public Affairs) at Clear Strategy.
They’ve all got a serious background as party members as well as long experience in the private sector in Ottawa. In Wednesday’s session they deliver useful analysis of the election outcome, before giving a fantastic insight into the conversations that are probably taking place today in Liberal, Conservative and NDP offices on Parliament Hill.
I’m gathering my own thoughts for a post that I hope to publish later today (the third post today, but what the heck, there’s news). Meanwhile, I’m really glad to be able to call in these experts.
