The One Foot Off Center podcast panel broke down what ForChange Kelowna should be looking for as it prepares to vet this fall's council candidates.

Does it matter what a candidate did before city council? With roughly 80% of council votes tied to housing, how many names on this year's ballot really understand housing if pressed on the spot?

It's known that councils will spend an hour arguing over a $500 purchase, yet wave through an $84 million project without a second look. Is that a failure of oversight, or just what happens when a number gets too large to feel real anymore? What actually makes someone fit to lead. How do you measure character in a person you've only sat across from once?

Listen for more on how ForChange differs from a political slate, and why the group insists it will never tell anyone how to vote.
