Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Fred DeLorey is here!

For those who may not know, Fred was the National Campaign Manager for Erin O’Toole in 2021. Before that the Director of Field Operations for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. And he’s a former Director of Political Operations for Stephen Harper. As well as Director of Comms and National Spokesperson. Today, he’s Chair and Chief Strategy Officer at NorthStar Public Affairs.

So, with that kind of CCV ... Conservative Curriculum Vitae ... we’re going to get an operative’s perspective on the mood and moves of Canada’s Conservatives, campaigning against Carney, referendums in Alberta and Quebec – lots more.
