Candidates include city councillors Josh Matlow, Ana Bailao, former Toronto Sun columnist Anthony Furey, former Toronto Police Services chief Mark Saunders, former MP Olivia Chow and Chloe Brown.

On our fourth episode of Short Circuit hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon walk listeners through the projects The Hoser has been working on since our last episode before the provincial election in Ontario. We then recap the Conservative victory, the plummeting voter turnout in the province, and how little excitement was part of this election. Finally, we discuss what's coming up in Toronto this fall. Media workers especially: contact us if you want to help work with us on municipal election reporting.

We were fortunate to be joined on mic by podcast producer extraordinaire Eric Wickham who brought some needed levity and earthiness to the conversation.
