What's new in city council this week, A 'Government shutdown' in the U.S., & What to watch this weekend!

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR FRIDAY, DEC. 20TH We begin with our weekly conversation with Mayor Jyoti Gondek….This time out we get the Mayor’s thoughts on the ‘new’ plan for the Green Line LRT project put forth by the Provincial Government earlier this week – and hear about a new bylaw which will require all Mayoral and City Council Candidates to submit a Police back-ground check ahead of the 2025 Civic election. Next – we head stateside for the latest news making headlines. We catch up with Jackson Proskow – Global News Washington Bureau Chief who brings us the latest on a potential ‘Government shutdown’ – and what’s behind it. And finally – the holidays are a great time to catch up with family and friends – and also a GREAT time to catch up on your favourite movies and TV shows….Well, if that’s YOUR plan over the next couple of weeks – we’ve got you covered! We hear from our ‘man in the know’ when it comes to the Big Screen and the ‘streaming scene’ – Brett Megarry of “The Couch Potatoes”.
