About the Episode

On this episode of The 905 Round-Up, it’s all political.

Mayor Patrick Brown has announced his campaign to become the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.  One might think this would make his being mayor of Brampton rather difficult.  We agree.  Roland and Joel ponder what does it mean for the people of Brampton, now that they have a part-time mayor?  And just what are Patrick’s odds of winning anyways?  Either way, it doesn’t appear that the people of Brampton will come out on top.

Then we look at Doug Ford’s edict prohibiting his caucus members from helping any of the federal Conservative leadership candidates’ campaigns in Ontario.  This is a similar rule to one passed in the last federal election, in which no Progressive Conservative caucus member actively helped out their federal cousins.  Is this a strategy of actively distancing the conservative party of Canada’s largest province away from its federal counterpart?

Lastly, we take a look at Hamilton City Council.  Well, whether or not the allegation of former mayor Larry DiIanni that the council is too left has any merit.  We don’t think so.  As well, maybe the shift we’ve seen in Hamilton lately is due to the longstanding desire to see business done differently in Hamilton.  It’s all discussed on this episode!
