You Wanna Run?

Épisode 1

mardi 21 mars 2023 • Durée 41:53

Would you ever run for political office? For many of us, “politician” is the last job title we’d ever consider. What is it that drives people to run for political office?

In this episode we talk to former MPs from across Canada. They each have a unique journey that brought them to Ottawa to serve their communities. For some, federal politics was a childhood dream – for others, something they had never thought to aspire to. Some were chosen by their parties, and some put their own hats in the ring.

Plus, background on the nominations process that determines our electoral candidates in the first place.
