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.
London’s 2026 Municipal Election is behind us. Western’s Director of Urban Policy and Local Government, Dr. Martin Horak, watches every election at every level closely and London’s 2026 municipal election was no exception.
We have a lot of ground to cover over the next 25 or so minutes. So, let’s go!
