Canada's officially in a trade war. As President Donald Trump makes good on threats to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, it's never been more evident the relationship between our two nations is drastically different than even a month ago. What does this (what SHOULD this) mean for Canada? We discuss throughout this episode. Also... 10:10 | Jeromy Farkas still wants to be Mayor of Calgary. He tells us how losing the last election changed him as a person (and a candidate), and how he'd navigate a contentious relationship between the province and Alberta's municipalities.

We call politicians hypocrites, flip-flops, and worse when they change their tune. We expect our elected (and appointed) officials to stand by what they say no matter what. Whatever happened to "live and learn"? On the heels of our conversation with newly-minted Senator Charles Adler about his personal and political evolution, we connect with another politician in the process of reinventing themself. 5:30 | Jeromy Farkas was all set to be Calgary's next mayor...until he wasn't. Seen as the conservative rising star on city council, Farkas ultimately finished second in the 2021 election. He tells us about the journey that began after that election loss, and the evolution of his personal and public self. We talk to Jeromy about Charles Adler's Senate appointment, Premier Danielle Smith's upcoming leadership review, Calgary's arena deal (he hates it), and a controversial plan to manage future floods in southern Alberta. GLENBOW RANCH PARK FOUNDATION: https://grpf.ca/ 1:08:25 | Speaking of politicians...if you're going to release a video about how great Canada is, you should probably use footage captured in Canada.

We hear the thoughts of Former Ward 11 Councilor, Jeremy Farkas. According to the Better Business Bureau, job scams are up 250 per cent compared to the same time last year.

We're taking another trip to Ward 11 in our series covering candidates from the races outside Ward 1. Today, myself and Jason sit down with Ward 11 candidate Lauren Herschel. After growing up just outside of Toronto Lauren has lived in Calgary for 15 years and has a wide variety of professional experiences that it was fascinating to learn about. Her life experience in the greater Toronto area led to a great discussion on the Green Line and public transit in general.In a subject not uncommon in our conversations with candidates across the city the importance of communication, clarity of information, and transparency was a big talking point. When you're having a conversation with a Ward 11 candidate it's hard not to talk about former Ward 11 counsellor turned mayoral candidate Jeromy Farkas, Jason and I get to Lauren's thoughts on where she believes councillor Farkas has strengths and weaknesses as well as an interesting conversation on the difficulty of balancing drying distinctions with another figure and presenting your own vision.We talk about the ever-present issue that is the future of downtown Calgary, the importance of investing in the future and how this can potentially make large projects more affordable when you start them earlier. The successes and failures that the city has with regards to engagement; as well as the difficulty involved in doing proper engagement, what it means to manage the expectations of citizens and the importance of continuing to strive for accessibility something I am very passionate about for obvious reasons!Drawing on some recent news regarding the potential distribution of voter lists to candidates, including potentially problematic ones. An interesting topic is brought up regarding the security of personal information not only within the electoral process but with regards to city Council transparency. Today's conversation gets some new perspectives on familiar topics and introduces some new angles to how you look at Your Neck of the Woods!
Tune into the ElectionsCalgary.com series on the CanadianPodcast with Zak, @YYCinfluencer. #YYCcc #ElectionsCalgary #CalgaryElections
As we all know the 2021 election is one of the biggest things happening in Your Neck of the Woods this year. While we can agree that this podcast is focused on Ward 1 whoever represents this Ward will have to work with 14 other people. That's why Jason and I have committed to highlighting candidates from the other races in the election. This will also bring a wide range of perspectives to the show. After all, Your Neck of the Woods is meant to be a conversation.This week Jason and I sit down with Ward 11 candidate Kourtney Branagan to get her perspectives on running to replace mayoral candidate, and polarizing figure in the Calgary political scene Jeromy Farkas. I ask Kourtney some of her views on making the Council more collaborative and we both share our thoughts on urban sprawl and development in the city, even getting into a quick debate on the Guidebook for Great Communities. Listen and see what myself, and Ward 11 candidate Kourtney Branagan think of what's going on in Your Neck of the Woods!

Charlotte Jackson is enduring her third period of unemployment in the hospitality industry due to restrictions. Christopher has been put at risk as essential therapy for recovery from a recent heart attack has been deferred and Tennille's pet boarding business is under serious strain despite being under no direct restrictions. It was an enlightening and important discussion. Next, an extended interview with Calgary city councilor and mayoral candidate, Jeromy Farkas was played. Jeromy speaks to challenges at city hall and his campaign approach to solving them,
Today on The Kondrat Podcast, I sat down with Jermoy Farkas, Ward 11 Councillor and 2021 Mayoral Candidate in Calgary, Alberta. As a born and raised Calgarian, Jeromy is passionate about our city. We discuss his journey, his love for politics, and why he thinks he's the right person to lead Calgary into the future.Jeromy was elected as the Ward 11 Councillor in 2017 with the promise to bring fiscal restraint, accountability, transparency and integrity back to City Hall. His decision to run for mayor was in response to a need for change and new leadership that will stand up for Calgarians. Jeromy was born and raised in Calgary in the community of Dover by his Hungarian parents who fled communist oppression in their homeland. He wants to work with Calgarians to write the next chapter of opportunity for our great city. "I'd say it really comes back to opportunity. Giving Calgarians the same hope and opportunities to succeed that I had growing up in the city is so important to me.”It has been great to share the stories of Mayoral candidates on my podcast. Allowing people to express themselves freely through honest conversation is a great way to learn what they stand for. I'm grateful that Jeromy took the time to join me - I hope you enjoy our surprising interesting conversation.—The Kondrat Podcast: website | twitter | instagram | facebookJeromy Farkas: website | twitter| instagram | facebook
