On The Record – S8E3 – How Can a Resident Influence City Politics?


Listen Later

This semester’s podcast focuses on municipal politics in the GTA because our next election is coming up on October 26th, 2026.

Today’s big question is: How can a resident influence city politics?

To answer this, we interviewed Saman Tabasinejad, Executive Director at Progress Toronto, and Matt Elliot, a freelance City Hall reporter. The streeters were provided by community members on campus here at TMU. The clip at 5:30 is from Toronto City Council on YouTube, the clip at 6:48 is from Toronto Transit Commission on YouTube and the clip at 8:37 is from the National Post on YouTube.
