Zero Percent Problem with Chris Brown from Cross Border Interviews


Listen Later

Is a 0% property tax increase really something to celebrate? Or is it just kicking the financial can down the road?

In this episode of Non-Partisan Hacks, we’re joined by Chris Brown, host of Cross Border Interviews, for a candid conversation about municipal responsibility, political courage, and the dangerous allure of short-term wins. We dig into Chris’s viral editorial on local governments that prioritize popularity over planning — and why some municipalities might need to look in the mirror before pointing fingers at higher levels of government.

We also touch on:

  • What Chris has learned from 350+ interviews with elected officials
  • Why rural communities feel left behind
  • The power imbalance between provinces and municipalities
  • And yes — the bread makes another appearance.
