Dear Listeners,
Thanks for tuning in. In this episode, we dig into the things that bring us together — and the places where politics can still tug us apart.
🏈 Sports as Civic Glue
We kick things off with the joy of cheering on the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the cross-Canada loyalty of Blue Jays fans. From game-day energy to shared heartbreak and celebration, sports remind us how connected we really are.
💰 National and Local Budgets
Then we shift into the world of budgets —the vote on the national budget that took place yesterday and then in Part 2 - why city budgets matter and what we can expect next week when Council deliberates. From transit to policing to housing, simple highlights to point us to listening in next week.
⚠️ A Light Dip Into Politics & Polarization
We touch on the growing partisan tone across Canada — not too deep, but enough to ask:
How do we stay connected as neighbours when national politics get loud?
This episode blends fun, civic insight, and a little bit of reflection on what keeps our communities strong.

Civically Speaking,
