This is part two of our Municipal Interview Series with Ottawa Councillor Rawlson King. Rawlson became Ottawa’s first ever Black councillor after winning his seat in an historic April 2019 by-election, and we can see why.

Kind of like a Black deputy mayor we know, he's a juggernaut. From leading the city's Anti-Racism and Ethnocultural Relations Initiatives, to seeking transparency on transit--and his cautionary tale for Toronto, we take a deep dive on the work Rawlson is doing on behalf of his residents, especially those from Black and racialized communities. Of course, he also shares his thoughts on federal and provincial issues, from former prime minister Jean Chretien's outrageous comments on Residential Schools, to Premier Ford's apparent disdain for EV incentives.
