Submit ReviewIn the first regular episode of Sudbury Politics – The Show, and with the election behind us, the big question is what happens now? In the wake of the October 21st election Rachel, Richard and Jeff discuss all that was predicted, what the heck actually happened and what the road ahead looks like for the leaders of the major parties asthey navigate through the Liberal minority government and the balance of power in the House of Commons. To help unpack some of these issues and in between Jeff getting his steps in for the day, our team is joined by special guest Bill Crumplin, who over the last 18 months has been a Green Party candidate in the provincial and federal elections and a mayoral candidate in the last municipal election. We ask Bill about his experiences as a candidate under an official party platform vs. a platform of his choosing and he touches upon some of the challenges and barriers that potential candidates face when running for office in a world where face-to-face interactions have been replaced by screen-to-screen. In the wake of the resignation of Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, after an election result that left a lot to be desired, Bill weighs in on how the Green Party can and should move forward and what the change in leadership could mean for Canada’s other political parties and their leaders. And to cap off the episode, in true politico fashion, Rachel, Richard and Jeff offer their own unsolicited advice in a segment we like to call “Letters from a Podcast”
