Dear Listeners,

Thank you so much for tuning in. Much appreciation. 

Dale Richardson and Gordon Androsoff join me as co-hosts. Regrets from Christina this week.

In part 1, we dive into what it means to have four candidates now in Saskatoon's Mayoral race. Joining Cary Tarasoff, Cynthia Block and Gord Wyant is former Mayor, Don Atchison (for a second run). 

In part 2, we get into the latest polling results from Angus-Reid and what the implications of recent polls by them and Insightrix may mean strategy wise for both the Saskatchewan Party and New Democratic Party of Saskatchewan. 

Thanks to Dale and Gord for joining. And thanks to you for listening. We hope you enjoy listening to this show as much as we like making it.

Civically Speaking,
Lenore

Hello Dear Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in. So appreciated.  We love doing this show.

On this week's show - we give a big shout out to Tracy Muggli, the most recent Senator appointment announced by the Prime Minister to represent our Province.  Tracy is an amazing person - truly, an earth angel. She is a social worker by profession and has been a true community champion. She will represent this province well in the Federal Senate Chambers. 

Other news, Don Atchison, former mayor, announces his attempt again to reclaim his former seat as Mayor.  He ran in 2016 and lost to Charlie Clark and again in 2020 where he came in third. What are the implications of him coming in as a fourth candidate? Joining Cary Tarasoff, Gord Wyant, and Cynthia Block.

Other news ...listen in...

And, the heat is on, summer temp wise for sure; political wise in Saskatoon, uhm...maybe not so much visible ... save a Ward 6 Candidate making his way through the ward. More on this and other summer shades ...

And, in part 2, couldn't help it, we 'bidentrump' talk...Christina shares some wisdom from her years as a News Editor on what's going on; and, I talk about getting sucked into the debate vortex...

It's a fun little summer listen. Stay tuned for more. Support community radio and shows like this.

Dear Listeners,

Sorry for the delay. Too much going on.
