Ep.37 - Michelle Rempel on Heckling

Canadaland
About this episode

Most workplaces discourage yelling and jeering among co-workers. But the government has their own way of doing things.

 

Desmond and Supriya talk to Calgary - Nose Hill Conservative MP Michelle Rempel about her experiences being heckled. They also get into how social media is changing the political discourse in ways that Rempel herself still hasn't figured out. 

 

This follows a recent survey by Samara Canada finding that most MPs think heckling is a problem in the House of Commons, but most of them also do it.
