On this edition of the Guelph Politicast, we experiment with the form
by have three separate short interviews: robocall investigation
enthusiast Sebastian Silva, senior policy planner with the City of
Guelph Joan Jylanne, and Guelph Member of Parliament Lloyd Longfield.
First up is Silva, who is a resident of Salt Spring Island in the Federal riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Like some of us,
he caught the bomb dropped by Sen. Mike Duffy during his testimony
before Christmas alleging that Conservative operatives were behind a
robocall in 2008 that claimed to be made on behalf of a get-out-the-vote
effort for the NDP candidate who had dropped out of the race but
remained on the ballot. Silvia took initiative to write Elections Canada
about re-opening the investigation based on the allegations, and he got
a semi-ambiguous response (included bellow).
Then, I talk
to senior policy planner Joan Jylanne, who earlier this week led two
workshops for the public to offer input on Guelph's developing
"Affordable Housing Strategy." I covered
the afternoon workshop, but because there's a lot of big words and big
definitions, I thought it might be better to hear it all from the expert
rather than me fumbling my way through it.
And finally, a couple of words from Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield, who was in attendance at the special city council meeting on Thursday to hear how the mayor and councillors might spend the incoming Federal infrastructure money.
