Please Matt I’m begging you to raise the volume level of this podcast. It’s near impossible to hear over the sound of the ferry engine.

Matt Stickland reports on the goings on of Halifax Regional Council, not because it’s exciting, despite Matt’s best efforts to make it so, but because he really cares about how people use the power that has been entrusted to them.

Listened to Matt when he was doing the Glue Factory. Glad this podcast was started. I really enjoyed the HRM Votes series. Always looking forward to the next episode dropping.
