Jeff and I are joined by regular members Wendy Cooper, Ari Avivi, and James Yachyshen. Thanks team.

We weigh on the latest issues, some of the mayoral candidate platforms, and all different parts of the the Carnival, including a public hearing taking place while we talk, and all kinds of behind the tents and intents stuff (all puns intended!).

Hello Dear listeners,

The panel expands this week to add a guest panelist to our regular members Pat Lorje, Wendy Cooper and Ari Avivi. Welcome James Yachyshen, a self-professed conservative leaning, arm chair political pundit, who contributes a variety of views and experiences to various main stream and local media. 

Regrets were given by Janice Braden and Jeff Jackson who both had commitments elsewhere.

In this panel session, we set up in the round in an outdoor studio at Pat's place (thanks for hosting Pat). We do some shallow dives and deeper dives into various political campaigns and elections taking place - including looking in quickly on our neighbours to the south, musings about whether a federal election may be called, touching on the provincial campaigns, and then honing in on the civic election - reviewing the latest skinny regarding the mayoral race and various council races.  

Tune in. Stay engaged.  

Please note, all views and related that come from the voices of the various panel members and host of this show, including the voices of any and all other Civically Speaking shows, do not reflect the views in any way, shape, or form of CFCR station and any such other - we leave you to make your own ways, shapes and forms respectfully.

Thank you for tuning into community radio opportunities such as this. Please continue to support community radio - our upcoming FM-Phasis Campaign is coming up very soon. Make a donation now and then. And, of course, feel super good  about doing so.  visit www.cfcr.ca to do so - it's that easy.

Stay safe,
