London Morning panel talks about the local scene as the provincial election campaign starts
CBC Radio's London Morning convened a panel of keen political watchers Wednesday as the provincial election campaign officially kicked off.
Host Julianne Hazlewood was joined by three guests;
- Jackie Newman, associate professor of political science at King's University College
- Matt Farrell, professor of inter-disciplinary studies at Fanshawe College
- Zack Taylor, assistant professor of political science at Western University
