I sat down with Nira Dookeran who is running for MP in the recently vacant Ottawa-Vanier riding. I asked her about the loaded platform they have and we briefly discussed certain policy issues. Listen to the end if you're interested in philosophy, because we also dabbled in that.

An interview I had with Christina Wilson, an independent candidate for the Ottawa-Vanier federal riding. We discussed her platform and how it would affect those who are street involved in the city and country.

On this episode I did a phone-in interview with Joe Roberts who is currently in Thunder Bay, running from Newfoundland to B.C. to raise intrigue about homelessness, especially youth homelessness. Joe himself has lived experience being street involved and homeless, but he turned his life around with help from family and a certain police officer. He went on to become an entrepreneur, author and public speaker. Now he's focused on the push for change.
