Election 2025: News, Media and Political Journalism with Clark, Ling and Zussman

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

Alright you courageous, you resilient Herle Burly-ites! Today we've got a fantastic journo and media panel today, in the context of Election 45 in Canada ... so far, framed as the “Trump, Tariffs and Trade” election.

Campbell Clark, Justin Ling and Richard Zussman join us for the next 60 minutes.

Broadly, I want to talk with these folks about the campaign, and get their assessments of how it’s going out there for each of the leaders.  What are the key messages and strategies? What’s working and what’s not?

And then, a deeper dive into "the news" and how the parties are using media and campaign communication tools to get their messages across. What’s different this time around, if anything?

Campbell Clark is Chief Political Writer for the Globe and Mail with their Ottawa bureau since 2000. Before that, he wrote for the Montreal Gazette and the National Post.

Justin Ling is “Bug-Eyed and Shameless” on Substack. He’s a freelance investigative journalist covering politics, national security, technology and information warfare, and where these things all crash together.

And Richard Zussman is making his FIRST APPEARANCE here on The Herle Burly! He’s been with Global B.C. as a reporter since 2018, based at the B.C. Legislature. He’s also a host of their show, Focus B.C.. You can also find Richard on Air Quotes Media's Hotel Pacifico podcast every Sunday throughout the federal election.
