Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the Political Trenches Local Government At Work. After a longer than anticipated summer vacation we are back in the trenches looking at the stories and issues that are shaping municipalities from coast to coast to coast. ,And today,-than we are launching a series of shows dedicated to the often overlooked role that is instrumental in local government. Over the next few months, all our guests will have one thing in common. They all have experience as the Chief Administrative Officer for a municipality. Ian and I will be diving into the role, the challenges, the drive to lead an administrative administration, and what brings people into the role of CAO. And to kick off the journey into the CAO, we are honoured to be joined by a new CAO. Josh Saskiw, of Marwayne Alberta will be joining us later in the episode. But to kick us off, our rundown today includes the lack of Code of Conduct Legislation in Alberta, A Councillor in Ontario pointing a finger at Artificial Intelligence, and one year after a council was dissolved, how has the community gotten on?***********************************Stories In Today's Show:Lack of Code of Conduct legislation in Albertahttps://www.stalbertgazette.com/beyond-local/lets-address-that-code-of-conduct-void-rural-leader-tells-province-11183194?utm  ‘Artificial intelligence technology was involved’: Clarington councillor denies making death threatshttps://www.durhamregion.com/news/artificial-intelligence-technology-was-involved-clarington-councillor-denies-making-death-threats/article_f2c34f47-8903-519c-8797-6591d44df808.html                               One year after council was dissolvedhttps://www.timminstoday.com/local-news/black-river-matheson-reflects-on-year-of-progress-after-council-reset-11131987?utm***********************************Subscribe to Show:Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3GISqEX Spotify Podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepoliticaltrenches Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***********************************Follow The Political Trenches:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Website: https://www.strategicsteps.ca/The Political Trenches is Part of the Cross Border Network© 2025
