The Municipal Panel took a week off, and boy, was there a lot to cover when we got back.

In this extended issue, we discuss:

* the Mayor’s pledge to end youth homelessness by 2030 (2:58)

* the investigation into Councillor Menard’s election spending (10:47)

* Jeff Leiper turns the City’s return to office mandate into a hot potato (22:16)

* the City’s report on climate progress (29:00)

* Doug Ford’s war on speed cameras (37:37)

* the City reverses course on sidewalks in Manor Park (45:35)

* City Hall half-heartedly freezes its headcount (48:31)

We didn’t get around to covering a number of housing initiatives that came out over the past two weeks, but we’ll do that in our next episode.
