"D" is for Down Under

Welcome to the Political Trenches: Local Government At Work, a new online show dedicated to local governance here in Alberta, across Canada and Around the World.

Each week, Co-Hosts Ian McCormack (President of Strategic Steps Inc.) and Christopher Brown (Host of the Cross Border Interviews with Chris Brown) come together to talk about the big news and issues facing municipal governance.

In today's episode, We chat about a council taking a CAO to court over the budget, Municipalities needing to address homelessness, and provincial and federal downloading to municipalities.

We are joined today by Australian Local Government Consultant and Host of the "Local Government Newsroundup" Chris Eddy.
