Episode 75 - Municipal Interview Series with Deputy Mayor Sterling Lee of Ajax, Ontario

On this week’s episode, we're joined by friend of The Drip, Deputy Mayor Sterling Lee of Ajax, a town established in 1941 in Durham Region in Southern Ontario, just east of the Greater Toronto Area. The 2016 census clocked its population in at 119,677, 57% of which are racialized. The biggest racial demographic in Ajax belongs to our South Asian brothers and sisters at 24%, while Black folks take the number two spot at 17%.


Sterling shares his thoughts on the racial revolution as well as the rise in hate crimes across Durham during the pandemic, and what he and others are doing about it, Doug Ford bumping the minimum wage to $15, Justin Trudeau's methane pledge, Durham's constant congestion and possible solutions, and plenty more. Plus he's hilarious. Take a listen.
