Mike Savage - Having a beer with Halifax's favourite retiring Mayor (Mayor of Halifax, 2012 - 2024)
Michael John Savage is a North Ireland born Canadian politician, who was elected Mayor of the Halifax Regional Municipality on October 20, 2012. Savage has recently announced his retirement, we chat at the location of his choosing, Coleens Pub, to talk some bits and pieces about his career, and possibilities of what’s next. We share our mutual wish to have a bigger better stadium in Halifax, city expansion, and his next big move. Mike checks to see if the Mayor will go the thespian route, and asks 10 choose or sip questions that the Mayor handles with no trouble.
51:10 Mins into the show, Colleen finishes working the tables and joins us to share a little more about her community pub. Justin Trudeau himself even recently visited the place, (we were there first!) Thank you very much to Colleens Pub and to Mayor Mike savage for having us over at his favourite spot.
