Peterborough Politics Podcast - Episode 7 - YIMBYs & NIMBYs

Author: Arthur Newspaper April 6, 2023 Duration: 1:02:09

Episode 7 is here for the people of Peterborough. This week we talked about Dave Smith being rude (sexist?) to Joy Lachica over a misunderstanding about how the Conservative Ontario government backed off a plan to defund the Ontario Arts Council by 15%. Thin skin much? We also discussed some new property developments on George Street North, the future of The Theatre On King, and the ongoing housing crisis.
