GUELPH POLITICAST #555 – The Breezys Vs. The Election (feat. The Breezy Breakfast Gang)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

By the time this podcast drops, there’s just over 48 hours until voting opens on Election Day. Already, nearly 10,000 people in Guelph have cast their ballot but there are over 100,000 eligible voters in the Royal City, and surely some of them haven’t made up their minds yet. It’s unlikely that there are many undecideds among the Breezy Breakfast crowd, but they still had questions about what this election means, and what’s coming in the days after.

GUELPH POLITICAST #554 – Last, But Not Least (feat. Ali Malik and Barbara Mann)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

We have come to the end of this election, at least so far as these council candidate interviews go. The final vote is on Monday, but if you’re still undecided, at least in two of the six wards, maybe these two interviews will help you make a final decision. In the Politicast’s last election entry, we talk to one person running in Ward 4 and another in Ward 2. Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #554 – Last, But Not Least (feat.

GUELPH POLITICAST #553 – Catching Them All in Ward 5 (feat. Danny Lui and Dylan White)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

As this election comes to a close, we do the nearly impossible and finish the list of candidates running in Ward 5. That’s been the busiest race in this municipal election with 10 candidates in total, and they represent a wide variety of vocations, perspectives and experiences, and here, with these last ones, we meet, perhaps, two of the most unique.

GUELPH POLITICAST #552 – Back in Business! (feat. Marty Williams and Shane Coulis)

The 2026 municipal election is coming to a close. Can you believe it? Don’t worry though because this podcast is still chugging along with new interviews with council candidates and this week, we’ve got a pair of guys who mean business, but on the opposite ends of town. If you haven’t made up your mind yet in Ward 3 or 5, there’s more for you to consider… Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #552 – Back in Business! (feat. Marty Williams and Shane Coulis)” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

If you’re listening to this on Saturday it’s the first day of advanced voting in this municipal election. Congratulations, you made it! But the work isn’t done yet, we’ve still got a lot of interviews lined up for the next few weeks and on today’s edition, we go back to Ward 5. In the aftermath of Homecoming, what at the expectations for these candidates now? Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #551 – We Got Ward 5 On It (feat. Michael Agueci and Xandine Arnott)” →

GUELPH POLITICAST #550 – Ward 1 Not Done (feat. Marcel Dion Lambert and Mustafa Zuberi)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

In the east end, change is in the air. Well, change has always been in the air because the east end is always changing. Ward 1 isn’t the busiest race in this year’s municipal election, but it is *one* of the busiest and has attracted candidates with a diversity of thought, backgrounds and experiences who are all eager to tackle the challenges facing the east end, and the whole city.

GUELPH POLITICAST #549 – Incumbentocracy! (feat. Michele Richardson and Linda Busuttil)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

This is a change election. Can we all agree on that? With the mayor’s office changing over, and five vacant council seats waiting for new people to fill them, the pressure of this campaign might be most keenly felt by the people already around the horseshoe. Today, we have the last two incumbents we haven’t interviewed yet, so are they the change you’re seeking? Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #549 – Incumbentocracy! (feat.

GUELPH POLITICAST #548 – Finally, the Quatro! (feat. Jesse Guite and Derek McCaughan)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

If you’ve been following this project for the last month or so, you might have noticed a big whole in the coverage: Where is Ward 4? The west end has one of the races with the smallest number of candidates, especially compared to Wards 2 and 5. In 2022, one Ward 4 candidate ran on the slogan “Ignored no more” so in that spirit, we finally head to The Quatro! Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #548 – Finally, the Quatro! (feat.

GUELPH POLITICAST #547 – The Other Daniel and The Sidewalk Guy (feat. Daniel Kaufmann and Jon Christensen)

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

One thing’s for sure this coming election day, there will be at least one new city councillor in Ward 1 and at least one new councillor in Ward 5. Both wards have solid and well-liked incumbents, but what about those open seats? Why have one Daniel in Ward 1 when you can have two? And perhaps what Ward 5 needs is someone minding the details, like sidewalks? Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #547 – The Other Daniel and The Sidewalk Guy (feat.
