Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP

In this summer episode of For the Record, Coun. Paul Minhas makes another appearance in studio to analyze the latest activities of New West city politicos. What do President Joe Biden and the New West Mayor have in common? Well, some say they may both soon have close allies and supporters asking them to step down for the 'good of the party'. That's a topic we explore as we undertake a special look ahead to what might transpire in the 2026 civic election year. Will Community First actually have a new candidate for mayor? Or will they hunker down and hope for the best under the current leadership?A proposal for a new Marriott hotel on Columbia Street above the historic Columbia Theater was on the docket for discussion. How tall should it be? Will it impact a possible redevelopment of the adjacent Army and Navy site? What type of community amenities will we get as a result of this latest tower proposal? Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh seems to have inspired - or perhaps heavily encouraged - his political allies in New Westminster to publicly endorse his idea of having Ottawa bureaucrats begin setting the price of our local groceries. Yes, a motion was brought to council for debate regarding sending a letter to the Prime Minister encouraging him to start setting the price of our 'essential' groceries. But just exactly what is classified as 'essential'? Furthermore, should provincial or federal politics be directly influencing civic debates in New West? The topic of e-scooters makes it on to the podcast as we play a segment that aired on the Mike Smyth Show on CKNW this week. The switchboard lit up with callers, all of whom had some pretty strong opinions. Sit back, pop in the earbuds and enjoy this latest podcast. Be sure to tell family and friends to listen too.

In episode three of the Courage My Friends podcast, we are joined by Paul Taylor, a life-long anti-poverty activist, current Federal NDP candidate and Executive Director of FoodShare Toronto, Canada's largest food justice organization. As Taylor says, "One of the ways I've come to think about our work is we are working alongside communities, across the city of Toronto, that have faced chronic underinvestment -- that have been on the brunt, or the receiving end, of systemic racism, sexism, those sorts of issues. And we're working with these communities… to build community-led food infrastructure." Where this pandemic seems to have reserved its harshest realities for those already most marginalized within our communities -- impoverished, Black, Indigenous, racialized, seniors -- according to Taylor this moment is only the latest development in a long-standing food crisis impacting far too many: "I think it's really important to contextualize what's happening with food insecurity in this country. Before the pandemic there were 4.5 million people that were food insecure across this country. That number has skyrocketed. The last count that I saw is now 5.5 million people that are food insecure. So that is like the populations of Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg combined." The food crisis during this pandemic is not just about food access but also about the dangers facing frontline food workers, who grow, pack, sell and deliver our food -- working populations who also, and ironically, are forced to deal with food insecurity in their own lives.  "We need to have a bigger conversation about paying the actual costs of food, and also making sure we're paying livable wages," Taylor says. This, of course, is only one of a number of painful ironies discussed by Taylor. Another is the existence of hunger and poverty in a wealthy country like Canada that celebrates corporate philanthropists for treating people as "compost bins" and policy-makers who continue to rely on the grace and commitment of over-burdened and under-resourced food banks as a way to absolve themselves of delivering on a vital social right. It is this promotion of charity-based solutions that Taylor finds particularly troubling. As he says, "We feel a moral imperative. I get it. We know that people are struggling with access to food, and we want to do something. I think the problem is what's been constructed as our default is food banking." Reflecting on his own sense of social justice and anti-poverty activism, Taylor locates his awakening in the mid-90s and the so-called Common Sense Revolution, when we were treated to the sauceless pasta and unbuttered bread of neoliberalism in Ontario. "I was raised by a single mom, powerful Black woman, you know, doing all that she could to support our family. And when I was 13, the province elected Mike Harris, and one of the first things he did was he cut welfare by 22 per cent. And for me as a child, you know, that was the first time I saw my mother cry. And it was earth shattering for me to try and understand what was happening and why someone would make a decision to make it harder for my family to eat." Food insecurity is not just a food issue, it's an issue of systemic oppression and policy failure that demands an overarching or "joined up policy" response. According to Taylor: "I think we've really got to be challenging these underlying systems: White supremacy, classism, capitalism, all of these organizing principles, ableism...that have so much of an impact on who has food in this country to eat and who doesn't." It also demands that we do not allow ourselves to fall into resignation and hopelessness. As Taylor tells us: "I hear more and more people speaking to me as if they feel that hunger and poverty are inevitable. And I think as soon as we believe that these things are inevitable, that homelessness is inevitable, we've lost…we deserve a refund on what we've been sold from previous governments." Can we finally secure that "refund?" And is it in the right to eat in a post-pandemic world?
