    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1413 - Challenges Faced By Former Canadian Politicians with Bryon Wilfert
    Jul 3 2025
    Tonight on the Brian Crombie Radio Hour, Brian interviews Bryon Wilfert about Fired MPs, or at least life after losing an election. The Honourable Bryon Wilfert, PC, ICD.D, is a former MP who was the Asia Pacific critic for the Liberal Party and former foreign affairs and defence critic. He is currently a senior strategic adviser with Tactix Government Relations and Public Affairs in Ottawa. He holds the Order of the Rising Sun — Gold/Silver Star from Japan.

    This interview focuses on the experiences and challenges faced by former Canadian politicians after leaving office, including the support services provided by the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians and the unique difficulties of electoral defeat. The recent federal election resulted in a large influx of new members, with many unexpected losses due to electoral shifts and vote splitting. The discussion covered various aspects of political life after parliament, including career transitions, mental health challenges, and the importance of having an exit strategy while in office. The conversation concluded with a discussion of Canada's foreign policy approach toward China, emphasizing the value of strategic engagement and maintaining balanced economic and political relationships.
