Hello London — I’m Matt Brown and this is The Matt Brown Podcast. It’s the show about all things local, and maybe some other stuff too.
We have a good show for you today.
The election is now just 2 days away. Graham Henderson is joining us today to give us the Chamber’s take on where he and his membership think candidates need to focus to move London forward
He joins with me in the studio.
So, let’s go!
London Chamber of Commerce Candidate Survey
As London prepares for the 2026 Municipal Election, the London Chamber of Commerce invited candidates to share their perspectives on issues affecting London’s business community, economic growth and the future of our city.
Explore the responses below to learn more about where candidates stand on the issues that matter to London’s businesses and residents. You can read it here.
Note: My conversation with Graham Henderson was recorded on the afternoon of October 22, just under 24 hours before this announcement from the Josh Morgan Campaign.
I’m including a link to an article that Alessio Donnini wrote for CBC News:
There is still time to check out what the candidates in your Ward have to say
Rogers Television is broadcasting each of them regularly as election day approaches. The Loon was thrilled to partner with the Urban League this year.
We wrote many of the questions asked at these meetings and helped promote the events, too. For a grassroots, not-for-profit, volunteer-led organization, the Urban League of London has really gone above and beyond with this initiative. You can learn more about these meetings here.
All 14 Ward All-Candidate Meetings are available on the Rogers tv YouTube channel and are running regularly on Rogers tv.
