Episode 101 - 2023's Political Recap

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! On our year end episode, we reflect on the absolute whirlwind that was 2023, and consider what’s next for 2024. From high inflation and interest rates to intensifying global conflicts; from the election of Mayor Olivia Chow to Premier Ford’s Greenbelt scandal and everything in between, we share our thoughts on:  * the biggest political story of the year; * the political event that was most beneficial to both Black Canadians, and Canadians at large; * what we’re most concerned about heading into 2024; … And plenty more. Tap in. --  ‘NightTime’ provided by Toronto's very own, B.ONLOCATION [https://open.spotify.com/artist/3gGQDn5SeXDMf2k50YxkMj?si=K2eMi_SqRtqSmBWB_CWpAw&nd=1].  Remember, if you like what you hear, subscribe and share. #Cdnpoli #ONPoli #TOPoli #USpoli #Scarborough #PierrePoilievre #JustinTrudeau #JagmeetSingh #DougFord #MaritStiles #BonnieCrombie #JohnTory #OliviaChow #GlobeandMail #TorontoStar #CBCNews #CTVNews #GlobalNews #IpsosCanada #NanosResearch #Tesla ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 100 - Toronto mayoral candidate Mark Saunders joins The Drip

On this week’s episode, we were proud to welcome Toronto’s 23rd and first Black police chief, Mark Saunders [https://www.instagram.com/marksaunders__to/] to the show, as he seeks to lead Toronto as its 66th mayor. At this critical point just over two weeks from election day, Chief Saunders currently ranks as one of the top three candidates for mayor out of a massive list of contenders, some prominent, some not.  Whether it’s on housing, safety, security, mental health, gridlock, safe injection sites or a general sense of disorder, this son of Jamaica by way of the UK thinks that status quo politicians have failed Torontonians, but that he has the most sensible plan to make it right. We’ll soon know if Toronto agrees. To learn more about Mark’s mayoral campaign, visit https://marksaundersfortoronto.ca/ [https://marksaundersfortoronto.ca/]. And remember, election day is June 26th, 2023. --  ‘NightTime’ provided by Toronto's very own, B.ONLOCATION [https://open.spotify.com/artist/3gGQDn5SeXDMf2k50YxkMj?si=K2eMi_SqRtqSmBWB_CWpAw&nd=1].  Remember, if you like what you hear, subscribe and share. #Cdnpoli #ONPoli #TOPoli #MarkSaunders #DougFord #JustinTrudeau ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 99 - Toronto mayoral candidate Mitzie Hunter joins The Drip

On this week's episode, it was great to welcome former MPP for Scarborough-Guildwood, Mitzie Hunter [https://www.instagram.com/mppmitziehunter/], to the pod. She's currently one of the top five candidates in a field of more than 70 who are running to become Toronto’s 66th mayor. This daughter of Jamaica, former Ontario cabinet minister, former CEO of CivicAction and former CAO of Toronto Community Housing says she has the skills and experience Toronto needs now. But will Torontonians feel the same come election day? Scarborough's very own shared how she thinks she’ll close the polling gap with her opponents, and broke down her strategy to fix the 6ix - from her bold plan for affordable housing, to her ambitious plan for transit, to expanding mental health supports to mitigate that crisis, and more effectively addressing the city’s drug crisis, too.  To learn more about Mitzie’s mayoral campaign, visit https://www.mitzieformayor.ca/ [https://www.mitzieformayor.ca/].

On this week’s episode, friend of The Drip and Toronto mayoral candidate, former MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes [https://www.instagram.com/iamcelinacc/], returned to the pod to discuss her campaign, revealing why Torontonians may want to give her a look before they go to the polls on June 26th.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
