Peterborough Politics Podcast - Episode 11 - Dave "Stigma Male" Smith

Author: Arthur Newspaper May 4, 2023 Duration: 1:05:06

⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ Episode 11! We found out that 2nd runner-up to the last mayoral bid, Stephen Wright, won't be running for mayor or city council again. The reason may SHOCK you. We also discovered some financial transparency in the form of developer donations to the campaigns of now-Mayor Jeff Leal and runner-up Henry Clarke. We also made plans to go to the new location of the Peterborough Regional Farmers Market at Quaker Foods City Square, see you there? Next, we talked about the STIGMA that seeps from the pores of Conservative MPP Dave Smith before moving on to Police spending $185,505 (plus annual operations costs) to install 12 CCTV cameras in Peterborough's downtown. Lastly, we discussed a story about the Indigenous People's Court which made a ruling for a woman to serve house arrest in hopes of restoring balance through rehabilitative justice.
