Interviews that defined a generation and uncovered truths from some of the biggest political scandals of the time. Richard Nixon, Monica Lewinsky, the ex-Duke of York formerly known as Prince Andrew, to name only a few.</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we bring you an interview with Nathen Mazri. Former Garfield Eats proprietor, former PPC candidate, and now, running for Toronto City Council in Ward 1 Etobicoke North. Will this interview be as era-defining as the others?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>His CV is likely stranger than any other candidate, and his legally distinct Garfield (called Nathfield) campaign song probably isn’t going to top the charts. He only got 235 votes during the last federal election, so why does he think he has a shot at being mayor of Toronto in 2030?</p><p><br></p><p>Is he delusional? Or is his conviction so strong that he might just do it?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Further Reading:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.nathenmazri.ca/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nathen Mazri</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canadian-entrepreneur-behind-garfieldeats-wants-to-disrupt-fast-food/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian entrepreneur behind GarfieldEATS wants to disrupt fast-food, one lasagna at a time</a> - Globe &amp; Mail</li><li><a href=\"https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/nathen-mazri-garfieldeats\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Love Me, Feed Me, Never Leave Me: The Strange Saga of the World’s Greatest Garfield Restaurateur</a> - MEL Magazine</li><li><a href=\"https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/garfield-eats-toronto-restaurant\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">I Ate Lasagna and Garfuccinos at the New Garfield-Themed Restaurant in Toronto</a> - Food &amp; Wine</li><li><a href=\"https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/policy/garfield-pizza-entrepreneur-runs-ppc-toronto-centre-10427689\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Garfield pizza entrepreneur runs for PPC in Toronto Centre</a> - Toronto Today</li><li><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/0NQQcdeNjS6EMkeAL2kT0O\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Nathfield Podcast</a> - Spotify</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Host: </strong>Sam Konnert</p><p><strong>Credits:</strong> Noor Azrieh (Producer), Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing &amp; Production), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)</p><p><strong>Featured guest:</strong> Nathen Mazri</p><p><br></p><p>Fact checking by: Julian Abraham</p><p>Additional music by: Audio Network</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sponsors:</strong>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://shopify.ca\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify</a>: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at <a href=\"https://shopify.ca\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://shopify.ca</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://canadaland.oxio.ca\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">oxio</a>: Head over to <a href=\"https://canadaland.oxio.ca\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://canadaland.oxio.ca</a> and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://article.com/canadaland\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Article</a>: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.
