Ottawa Lookout Pod

Election day is fast approaching. For the second episode of the Ottawa Lookout Pod, we talk with mayoral candidate Brandon Bay.Brandon isn’t one of the big three, and he’s not running to win. Instead, he ran for mayor to inject new ideas and a new voice into the campaign. We talk about what can be done about housing, the generational divide in the city, how transit can be improved, and whether parking really should be $9 downtown.We’d asked both Bob Chiarelli and Mark Sutcliffe to join us for an interview ahead of the Ottawa municipal election, but neither wanted to participate in this podcast.This podcast is made possible thanks to members of the Ottawa Lookout.
