A Footnote from Doug Draper – This October, during these municipal elections, we should do everything we can to elect those who want to serve as mayor and councillors in our municipalities who, among other things like making life for us more affordable and addressing the housing crisis, give a damn about doing everything we can at the local level to address climate change.
