Camille Quenneville and David Goldbloom + the Political Panel

Alright, it’s time for another Herle Burly 2-part pod!

Part 1 is Camille Quenneville and Dr. David Goldbloom, and we’re going to have a discussion on Mental Health ... politics, policy and care. Besides being a lifelong friend of mine, Camille is CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario Division. Dr. Goldbloom is a psychiatrist, Senior Medical Advisor at CAMH and Director of their Foundation Board. We’re going to talk about the role of mental health in our political system. What do mental health advocates think we need to differently about Medicare? Why aren’t we treating mental health the same as we would a broken leg, from a funding perspective? Plus mental health care in the pandemic and more broadly.

Part 2 today is our Political Panel, with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. Lots to discuss (and cuss about) this week:

  • Polls that show a Liberal majority.

  • Catherine McKenna walking away from politics in the prime of her career and just weeks away from an election.

  • Caroline Bennett having the roughest week of her political career and is probably still looking for the UNSEND button on her computer.

  • And of course, stick around for our “HEY YOUs!”
