The Personal is the Political with Minister Anita Anand

Minister of Treasury Board Anita Anand and Ellected’s host Sarah Elder sat down for a chat during the Calgary Stampede that took a right turn from the overtly political to just chat.

So much of what gets politicians in politics and why they care about what they do is informed by who they are, where they come from, what their lives have been shaped by and this is a refreshing departure from the bullet points of key messages of the announcement du jour to the key messages of who Anita Anand is.

And we end with the most unscripted interruption - a phone call from Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
