2022 municipal elections – The 905er

Municipal Election Live Stream Catch-up

Roland Tanner — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 02:14:57 +0000

Did you miss the fun of the live results show on Monday? You did? Well do we have a treat for you. Over three hours of talk and analysis as the election results came in from across the province. We know you'll want to listen to every minute. And, you know what, the results were a lot of fun in some cities. There was genuine excitement in three cities at least where the mayoral race was extremely close, and it was an evening that saw a significant amount of change in quite a few places, even if other cities didn't see any change at all.

Public Spat Between Kearns and Parr Intensifies

Roland Tanner — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 01:09:05 +0000

Kearns states that Parr was unwelcome at a campaign event because of Parr's prior "disgusting use of language designed to incite hurt and embarrassment". At the event, she claims he "shoved his phone in my face in front of my children, family, friends and supporters telling me to 'call the cop's' .... Which we did."

905 Round-Up: Cowardly Candidates and Who’s Winning in Hamilton?

Roland Tanner — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 16:17:59 +0000

If a candidate skips debates, interviews, media opportunities, and, er, everything, why on earth should we vote for them? And if Andrea Horwath and Bob Bratina are concentrating their fire on Keanin Loomis in Hamilton, what does that tell us about the Keanin Loomis campaign?

Taking the P Out of Politics: Racing to the Bottom in ’Bramton’ and the Hammer

Roland Tanner — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Regular guest Alan Kan joins us again to chat about the latest news from the municipal election trail. And leading the pack for 'oh, good grief, really?' moments in this election are the good cities of Brampton and Hamilton. We look at the latest stories from those two cities, asking whether Patrick Brown's main challenger is much of an alternative, and whether what some assumed was a 'slam dunk' win for Andrea Horwath is being undone by, well, Andrea Horwath.

The Race for Milton: Zeeshan Hamid

Roland Tanner — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Does Zeeshan Hamid have what it takes to launch a serious challenge to Gord Krantz in Milton? It's a battle between a computer scientist and an incumbent mayor who doesn't have an email address. But it's an Ontario municipal election, so the guy unreachable by modern technology is obviously the favourite right? Right. But Milton has a real choice to make at this election. Listen up.

The Race For Hamilton – Keanin Loomis

Roland Tanner — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

In the run up to the municipal election on October 24th we want to give our listeners the opportunity to hear directly from candidates in some of the most hotly contested and important races. We’re kicking off today with an interview with Keanin Loomis. Keanin certainly got out of the gate early, and has been up front with policy ideas since day one. Will that be enough to tip the balance towards him and away from names that may be more familiar?

The 905 Round-Up: Elections Season is Here, So Off My Lawn!

Roland Tanner — Thu, 05 May 2022 21:10:02 +0000

Joel and Roland take a look away from the Ontario election beginning and focus on the municipal candidates declaring their candidacy for this falls election. Why is there such ridiculousness around the public property not being used for campaigning? It is publicly owned and are we not smart enough to know a campaign when we see it?

The mayoral race is heating up in Hamilton as a familiar face finally throws his hat into the ring. Last week the announcement that Halton District School Board was re-allocating all its librarian teachers caused a stir online. What's it all about?

Maureen Wilson and Rory Nisan: Where was the Debate over Mask Mandates?

Roland Tanner — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 18:00:07 +0000

Rory Nisan is city and regional councillor for Ward 3 in Burlington and Halton and Maureen Wilson is councillor for Ward 1 in Hamilton. Both of them join us today to give their perspective on why the municipal votes in Hamilton and Halton to repeal mask mandates were so one-sided, when the public seems far from united on the wisdom of abandoning masks.
