On this week's episode, it was great to welcome former MPP for Scarborough-Guildwood, Mitzie Hunter, to the pod. She's currently one of the top five candidates in a field of more than 70 who are running to become Toronto’s 66th mayor.

This daughter of Jamaica, former Ontario cabinet minister, former CEO of CivicAction and former CAO of Toronto Community Housing says she has the skills and experience Toronto needs now. But will Torontonians feel the same come election day? Scarborough's very own shared how she thinks she’ll close the polling gap with her opponents, and broke down her strategy to fix the 6ix - from her bold plan for affordable housing, to her ambitious plan for transit, to expanding mental health supports to mitigate that crisis, and more effectively addressing the city’s drug crisis, too.
