Episode 53 wraps up our coverage of the Elmwood-East Kildonan by-election to succeed the late Jason Schreyer on Winnipeg city council.Part 1- Our analysis: The win by Emma Durand-Wood sets the stage for the organization of a far-left slate in the 2026 general election to try to take control of civic politics. We look at the radical policies she and her backers like 2022 Mayoral candidate Shaun Loney want to impose, and the conflicts she might encounter with Mayor Gillingham and the area Community Committee in particular.Also discussed - how the race panned out for the runners-up Abel Gutierrez and Braydon Mazurkiewich; whether the chosen successor to Schreyer waited too long to enter the contest; and the rejection by the voters of two city employees vying for the seat.19.50 Part 2 - With a weak turnout of 15.7%, Durand-Wood gets to make decisions about city spending with the support of just 5% of the eligible ward voters. Her absurd solution to spur better public engagement? Children aged 16 and 17 should be enfranchised. But she benefitted from a more significant cause of the disinterest in the race- the failure of Winnipeg broadcasters to fulfill their CRTC obligations to provide even minimal coverage of candidates in the October 25th election. While listener-funded TGCTS invested 50 hours to produce and promote podcast interviews with the seven hopefuls, Winnipeg news operations raking in substantial subsidies from the federal Liberals shamefully failed to keep the community informed. Hear which newsroom didn't file a single story on their website between announcing the by-election was called, until just before voting day. *****Read the latest columns by Marty Gold in The Winnipeg Sun- Even the smallest victories eluding Gillingham in encampment crisisCity evasive about rubber stamping a “safe consumption rooms” permit ******On November 14th the biggest wrestling match in Canada, the 50 Man Rumble To Remember, is being presented by Canadian Wrestling's Elite - and once again, Marty Gold is going to compete!

Jessica Gillingham—CEO of Abode Worldwide and author of “Tech-Enabled Hospitality”—joins us to map the real state of hospitality tech across short-term rentals, hotels, and multifamily. Drawing on interviews with 38 global leaders, she argues that technology's job is simple: enable better hospitality. We dig into the mindset shift from “tech as cost” to “tech as a strategic investment,” why many operators now prize stability and long-term vendor partnerships over constant churn, and how AI is moving personalization from buzzword to practice—provided operators unify data across the guest and staff journeys. Jessica explores the rise (and operational complexity) of hybrid hospitality models, the cooling of sustainability talk versus the steady, cost-driven adoption of IoT, and her big prediction: search and discovery will change fast as LLMs start answering instead of listing, reshaping OTA dynamics and operator marketing. She closes with pragmatic advice for managers: start with strategy, move deliberately, and use tech to get more human, not less.

A focus on civics - and a look at his new book - brings Don Woodstock back to TGCTS for Episode 48. There's lots of ideas, opinions and observations on tap!Part 1- Don was among the few Winnipeg residents who actually went to one of the city's "Information Sessions" about the five proposed sites for new supportive housing projects. With good reason, the Property and Development Committee adjourned the Public Hearing to get more details. As Woodstock explains, the fact his questions would not be answered by provincial representatives who would actually be making decisions about the site populations and service providers, was just one of many good reasons to hit the brakes rather than ram approval through. He insists that renovating and revamping existing buildings makes way more economic and administrative sense than handing over city-owned "surplus" properties whose value has never been measured on the open market.21.35 Part 2- Woodstock and his wife each have experience as Transit drivers. Hear why he thinks that the new plan for Community Safety Officers to handle fare enforcement is a smoke-and-mirrors charade to prop up the CSO program instead of hiring actual police. "They have no authority whatsoever."Between the ongoing safety issues and the disastrous new schedules and routing system, Woodstock says it's proof that City Hall doesn't listen to the public and has created dangerous conditions for folks who rely on riding a bus to get to and from work, school and social events. "The real conversation is how Uber has increased their ridership" as a result of people being stranded. 44.30 Part 3- Don Woodstock's new book "Unrelenting" is discussed. It's available at donwoodstockunrelenting.comHe tells his story about growing up in Jamaica, the influence of his grandfather, his commitment to environmental issues, and how he created the momentum for legislative changes to restrict the use of plastic shopping bags. He makes a pitch for ramping up manufacturing of electric buses while noting "the politics is so depressing" undercutting economic development and employment opportunities. "A welfare cheque is not an income, it's a tax on all of us. People need the capacity to earn a real income." *****Coming up on TGCTS- another interview with a candidate in the Elmwood- East Kildonan byelection. Four down, three to go!*****From the pages of the Winnipeg Sun- Marty Gold's most recent columns have continued to break news and stir up conversations:Sept 17- Considering that city councillors had just given voice to valid complaints that Transit officials were at the same busy labeling myths, a woman named A.M. drew the correct conclusion. “This is actually the weirdest, most manipulative document city hall has put out.”Riders push back as City plays ‘misinformation' card to dismiss Transit complaintsSept 21- It's becoming a pattern that when citizens raise their voices about Gillingham's policies and proposals, we're told those people don't matter- because they're repeating “misinformation”.Democracy proves inconvenient to Gillingham's plan for Supportive Housing sites Sept. 24- “I'm convinced that the real reason why progress is so slow,” said the source, “is because there is so much money to be made by doing absolutely nothing while congratulating yourself for how virtuous you are by protecting someone's "right" to ignore the rules the rest of society are obliged to respect.”Entitlement, poor results undermine trust in homelessness agency's success claims****Over $4200 raised in the Season Six funding drive- help us reach $5000 by donating here!
