In today’s show, we cover both ends of the political spectrum, from the morally incorruptible, Councillor Emma-Durand Wood to the morally indefensible Russ Wyatt, who after having three charges against him still chose to stand for re-election. 

Councillor Emma Durand-Wood’s road to City Hall was paved in community activism. She talks openly about the challenges faced by new city councillors, trying to understand the workings of the job. 

Emma explains her approach to community engagement and policy work, the impact of social media on political campaigns and her decision to abstain. She highlights key projects in her ward, including school playgrounds and food security programs, and the community’s requests for traffic calming and road safety initiatives.
