Our panelists — journalist & former Peterborough mayor Sylvia Sutherland, communications consultant & campaign executive Lauren Hunter and writer  & math teacher Tim Etherington — explore the macro influences that affected our local political scene in 2018.  Then they look ahead to 2019 and drop tantalizing hints as to what surprises we might see in the federal election campaign.  The panel also looks at Peterborough’s new city council and evaluates Mayor Therrien’s committee appointments.
