Biography:
David Herle
Owner, The Gandalf Group
David Herle has been around Liberal politics for a long time, starting as a kid in Saskatchewan organizing ridings for provincial leader Ralph Goodale in the early 80’s to working on campaigns with Paul Martin, Kathleen Wynne, Brian Gallant and many others. He commented on politics for ten years on CBC’s The National. He is known for strategic thinking, blunt talk, lifelong passions (Liberal Party, Riders, Habs, Hawkins Cheezies, Lemon Hart rum, and black licorice), and occasionally saying something he wished he could take back.
The Herle Burly was created as a platform for honest talk and respectful debate, in the midst of something fun and rambunctious. Starting in 2017, guests such as David Axelrod, Robbie Robertson, Thomas Frank and George Will have sparred with David about politics and culture.
