September 18, 2026 2:22 pm Published by

Susan Stevenson says if she’s elected mayor, tax increases will be at 1% or less for 2027 and 2028.

Is this possible without major cuts?

Craig welcomes former Green Party candidate Dr. Carol Dyck, organizational consultant Mojdeh Azad and political insider Ryan Gauss to the studio to discuss her promise on the Friday Round Table.

Then, it’s debate season! Mayoral candidates, council candidates, everyone. Do these debates actually matter? Do they sway undecided voters? And how should we decide which candidates get invited to Mayoral debates?
