If you mean the still frame used as the thumbnail… also my choice. Picked it because it had moving vehicles plus a stop sign.

Not a deliberate choice. I picked what b-roll I could find quickly that showed moving traffic. That’s all there is to it!

Do you have names of other political scientists in Edmonton who specialize in municipal politics you’d like to recommend? Always open to finding new voices, but there are not many I know of who focus on this locally.

He’s one of the few political scientists who live in Edmonton who specializes in municipal politics, and that’s why I reached out to him. He is an expert whether or not you agree with him, and I’m sure some political scientists would agree and disagree with him.

Nah. I reached out to Chaldeans because he’s one of the few political scientists in the city who specialize in municipal politics. I didn’t know what he would say until I interviewed him. I don’t predetermine the outcome of any of my stories.

Comments range from praising the candidate for being hardworking to suggesting people may answer their door armed if you drop off a flyer at night.

The candidate join in and gets into arguments, at one point apparently threatening legal action against another person who says his screenshot is fake.
