For those that are unaware, the Citizen is really good about posting the full audio of the discussions its editorial board has with various stakeholders. Yesterday they had a discussion with Councillors Alex Cullen, Peggy Feltmate, and Peter Hume. It’s available here (streaming MP3). Also of note is a conversation with the dissenting councillors from late June.
In any case, I’m working through it as we speak, but the general vibe seems to be that the councillors are understandably supportive of the plan (including the proposed tunnel), and meet some skepticism from the Board.
I really like that the Citizen shares these conversations, and during the election they were essential listening and pretty much determined how my vote would go. It’s also nice to see how these conversations develop, progress, and ultimately end up in various editorials and columns. What I really don’t like is that there doesn’t seem to be an RSS feed for when these go up, nor is there an obvious iTunes podcast option (I can’t check the directory from work; the words “itunes” and “podcast” certainly aren’t on the page).

I live and study in Ottawa, and tend to think about politics and history. Sometimes, I will write what I think down here.
