With our first run on Municipal Elections quickly jumping to our 2nd most listened to episode, we decided to add some further discussion to the mix.

In this episode we discuss some of the logistics around running an election as workers and challenges in counting that will be faced this time around in the absence of electronic voting tabulators.

We also look at additional municipal areas of responsibility so you can better understand what you can and cannot expect from not only your local councilor, but also the local school board trustees as well.

In this episode we discuss the upcoming municipal elections here in Alberta and some of the major hot button issues. We also touch on some of the topics that you should discuss with the candidates when they come to your door. We hope you'll join us as we have some spirited debate around bike lanes and discuss what municipal officials have control over.

John and I discuss the Prime Minister's first four months in office as we head into the fall sitting of parliament. There have certainly been some highlights both good and bad.

UPDATE: We recorded this just days before the official announcement on the major nation building projects was officially released. We acknowledge here that a major LNG project was on the list. However, much of our discussion on energy projects and what needs to happen to move more of them forward is still relevant.
