This week, Examineradio played host to an open forum for the candidates vying to replace Jennifer Watts in District 8. On hand were Anthony Kowalski, Brenden Sommerhalder, Patrick Murphy, Lindell Smith, Chris Poole and Irvine Carvery. The seventh candidate, Martin Farrell, was not in attendance.

The candidates fielded questions from Dalhousie professor Todd McCallum, our own Tim Bousquet as well as members of the community about issues ranging from the seemingly unfettered development in the North End, food scarcity, council and city staff ethics, and youth retention in the HRM.
