Canada Votes 2025: The Debates With FCM

Welcome to Municipal Affairs. My name is Christopher Brown, and this is Canada Votes 2025: The Debates. Week four of the federal campaign is behind us—and with it, the advance polls are now officially open. The race is tightening, and for voters across the country, decisions are starting to take shape. But before ballots are cast, there was a crucial moment this week—the debates. Over two nights, the leaders of four parties took centre stage. Liberal Leader Mark Carney. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet. And NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. They fielded tough questions in both English and French, trying to cut through the noise and connect with Canadians. But the question we ask here today is this: Did the debate matter to municipal leaders? Did we hear anything—anything at all that gives municipalities across this country a clearer picture of how a future federal government plans to partner with local leaders? To tackle the housing crisis, strengthen public transit, support community safety, or invest in energy transformation? Or did the most important level of government— the government of proximity, the one closest to people’s everyday lives—get lost in the shuffle? To break it all down, we’re joined by a powerhouse panel from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Sturgeon County Councillor Neal Comeau, who also chairs FCM’s Rural Forum. Val-Morin Mayor Donna Salvati. And Brampton Councillor Rowena Santos. We’ll unpack what was said, what wasn’t, and what it all means for municipalities coast to coast to coast. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss. So with that, Let’s get into it. *************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show *************************************************** Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown *************************************************** Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network ©2025

Municipalities Call For Bail Reform

Welcome to Municipal Affairs. We turn our attention to an issue that is resonating in communities across Canada—bail reform. Municipalities are stepping up, making their voices heard, and demanding change. Here in Manitoba, the calls for reform have reached a breaking point. It was the tragic death of 28-year-old Kellie Verwey in Portage la Prairie that ignited a movement. Verwey, a dedicated city tourism coordinator, was killed in a collision police say was caused by a man who should never have been on the streets—a repeat offender out on bail, with multiple violations and an active warrant for his arrest. The frustration and anger in Portage la Prairie spilled over when Mayor Sharilyn Knox took a stand, penning a critical open letter to Manitoba’s Justice Minister, Matt Wiebe. Her message was clear: the justice system is failing the public, and it’s time for leaders to take bold action. Since then, municipalities across the province have rallied behind her, echoing the urgent call for reform. Brandon Mayor Jeff Fawcett has also voiced his concerns, saying that while bail reform has long been an issue for his city’s council, this latest tragedy was the tipping point. The voices of Manitoba’s municipal leaders are growing louder, unified in their demand for change—not just in their province, but across the country. So, what needs to change? What specific reforms are municipalities calling for? And will provincial and federal governments answer the call? We sit down with Mayor Sharilyn Knox of Portage la Prairie and Mayor Jeff Fawcett of Brandon to discuss the challenges, the demands, and what real action on bail reform could look like. This is Municipal Affairs. *************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show *************************************************** Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown *************************************************** Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network ©2025

In light of recent events and growing awareness surrounding workplace misconduct, municipalities across the nation are increasingly confronted with the imperative to address such issues head-on. Harassment, bullying, sexual misconduct, and discrimination not only corrode workplace culture but also undermine the very fabric of trust and integrity upon which municipal governance relies.

With a team of industry-leading investigators equipped with specialized training and decades of experience, Veritas Solutions navigates the complexities of workplace dynamics with precision and empathy.
