It’s been 5 years since the release of A Citizen’s Guide to City Politics: Montreal. This book has served as a guiding compass for our show in many ways. Its essays on progressive municipalism, worker solidarity, police violence, and urban planning help lay out the project of why the city is an important locus for organizing.

Today I sit down with the book’s editors, Eric Shragge, Jason Prince, and Mostafa Henaway to talk about how the book’s ideas have held up, and how its analysis might adjust for the centre-right city administration helmed by Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada.
