Judi Tyabji on VRR podcast
December 13th, 2024
Author of That’s Rich: the Rise and Fall of the BC Liberals: A Biography of Rich Coleman (FriesenPress $21.49), Judi Tyabji speaks about her book on the Victoria Rumble Room (VRR) podcast, exploring topics relating to BC’s leadership and rattled Canada-US relations.
Tyabji’s book offers an in-depth look at the unpredictable world of British Columbian politics, focusing on the 24-year career of Rich Coleman as a BC Liberal. A polarizing figure, Coleman was praised as a hero by some and condemned as a villain by others, earning nicknames like Wyatt Earp and knuckle-dragger. The truth, as the book argues, is far more complex than the media sound bites and scandal-driven narratives from the past.
Through Coleman’s perspective, readers gain insight into the highs and lows of the BC Liberals’ political journey and the often-overlooked behind-the-scenes efforts that shaped the province. From restructuring institutions to building a new industry in British Columbia, Coleman recounts his view of the critical milestones that unfolded even as public attention was consumed by controversies.
