The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.

You highly engaged politicos probably know that The Herle Burly’s first cousin, once removed, is Hotel Pacifico – your 5-star podcast destination for all things in B.C. politics – and part of the Air Quotes Media universe.

Today, we’re bringing the 2 pods together – a little like a 60-minute shotgun wedding – because our guest is Geoff Meggs, who, along with Kate Hammer and Mike McDonald, is one of the 3 fantastic people you can listen to weekly at Hotel Pacifico. Geoff is a decades-long political player in B.C. – both as an elected official and senior backroom strategist. He was Chief of Staff to Premier Horgan from 2017 until Horgan’s retirement in 2022. He served 3 terms as a member of Vancouver’s City Council. He was comms director to Premier Glen Clark. Chief of Staff to Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell. And he’s a helluva thinker and writer who contributes regular opinion pieces to our online magazine, “Quotes”.

So, who better to talk about what are pretty massive political shifts, in B.C.?

  • Drug policy changes.
  • Working people and their relationship with both the NDP and CPC.
  • Horgan’s NDP vs Eby’s NDP vs Singh’s NDP.
