Ward Zero – Episode 16: Job numbers, provincial connections, hyperlocal Calgary issues

Support LWC on Patreon

Episode 16 of Calgary’s only municipal-election-focused podcast starts off with a trio of hot takes (remember, you can send yours in!), including the murky way that job projections are delivered.

Jeremy Zhao then goes for a twofer, with takes on searching for election information and recent graphics showing the out-migration of Calgary’s young people.

Esmahan Razavi guides the group through the three main segments: Fluoride, provincial connections to Calgary’s election and if candidates are missing the mark on hyperlocal ward issues.

They finish off with quick hits on the upcoming advanced vote, candidates in Wards 4, 5, 6 and a shout out to our friends at the Cross Border Podcast for their work on forums for the Calgary election.
