Councillor Emma Durand-Wood’s road to City Hall was paved in community activism. She talks openly about the challenges faced by new city councillors, trying to understand the workings of the job.

Emma explains her approach to community engagement and policy work, the impact of social media on political campaigns and her decision to abstain. She highlights key projects in her ward, including school playgrounds and food security programs, and the community’s requests for traffic calming and road safety initiatives.

Episode 13 - Transcona has a Babe and shocking shake-ups in Election News!

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

samedi 8 août 2026 • Durée 57:33

Go to ballotbabes.com and support our podcast, participate in our survey about your city councillor or send us a voice memo!

Election season is getting near and we put city hall, transit, housing, and the dog park fight under the microscope - then Transcona candidate Lora Meseman shows up with the kind of grounded, community-first vision voters are hungry for. If you too are biased toward a livable Winnipeg, this episode is for you. Patty and Sam kick things off with their unapologetically biased take on civic politics, why labor endorsements matter, and what Sherri Rollins' decision to drop out says about the power dynamics at City Hall.

Then Lora Meseman joins the show for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about what Transcona actually needs right now. A longtime community builder and executive director of the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centers, Laura talks about decades of volunteering, raising her family in the ward, and why this is the right time to step up. She shares what she is hearing on the trail, why safe streets, green space, infrastructure, and aging in place all belong in the same conversation.

Lora brings a practical, neighborhood-level perspective to some of the biggest questions in Winnipeg politics: how to build without paving over what people love, how to serve newcomers and longtime residents alike, and how to make sure public investment actually improves daily life.

Essential listening if you want to understand the local election beyond the lawn signs, the outrage posts, and the headlines. If you're trying to decide who deserves your vote - or how to help a candidate you believe in - this conversation gives you a smarter, more hopeful place to start.
