About the Episode

Joel is joined by guest host Laura Babcock for this episode.

The last municipal election saw Hamilton being the only municipality which saw real change.  An old council was effectively replaced by fresh blood.  Bringing in new ideas and perspectives to solve long time problems in the city, and possibly re-shape the relationship between the city and possibly the 905 and the province.

A few months later, we ponder has the lustre been lost from that vision?  Laura chats with Joel about how new Mayor Andrea Horwath is settling into her new job as leader of the 6th largest city in Canada.  And if she’s in step with the needs of Hamilton?
