What happens when a football-loving, Tottenham-supporting local runs for city council in one of Montreal’s most dynamic boroughs?

We sat down with Shane Thompson, candidate for city councillor in the Sud-Ouest (Little Burgundy, St-Henri, Griffintown & Pointe-St-Charles), to talk about the intersection of football and politics — and why he believes the beautiful game builds better communities.

In this episode:

  • Growing up in MTL as a Spurs fan

  • Football as a unifier in urban life

  • What makes the Southwest so culturally rich

  • Shane’s plans for more public sports spaces

  • The role of football in mental health, youth identity & inclusion
