Its a sticky situation! Now that the election dust has settled and the cabinet has been selected in our second regular episode Rachel, Richard and Jeff bid adios to the bright green 'adios' and move on to syrupy drink more suited to some of the sticky situations our governments find themselves in. After a speed round of political headlines from across the spectrum, we move into a segment that we are referring to this week as the “hall brawl”, where the question is how far is too far and with whom does the power actually lie? The team shares their thoughts, opinions and predictions on three key events that could have an impact on our community: Was Trudeau’s decision to leave Paul Lefebvre out of cabinet the right one? Were there any mitigating sticky or not so sticky circumstances that could have affected that decision and where does that leave Paul now in the Trudeau government?  Where does the division of power actually lie when it comes to municipal and provincial governments? Should municipal voters and candidates have the same rights as their federal or provincial counterparts even if the right to effective representation only extends to federal and provincial elections in the Charter? What impact could this case have on other spheres of municipal government and municipalities themselves? And finally, does Trudeau go left or right in terms of the CN strike? Does he implement back to work legislation and what are the implications of a prolonged strike?

In letters from a podcast, our team shares their closing thoughts and opinions, which for the record are mostly Jeff’s...who is always right.
