We’re going to take back the civil discourse of politics and hopefully set an example for those 308 men and women who will be elected on October 14th.
With me this morning is a trio of tried and tested former practitioners of the craft of politics, all of them well known for the intention to the substantive matters of good government and public policy.
First off is the Hon. John Manley, senior counsel at the law firm of McCarthy Tetrault but best known to Canadians as the minister of everything during nearly a decade in Cabinet, including industry, finance, foreign affairs and deputy prime minister.
Also joining us is Professor Doug McArthur, the distinguished Fellow in Public Policy at Simon Fraser University. And before that, deputy minister to two premiers in British Columbia.
