Michael Qaqish--Ottawa, ON councilor--explains why some councilors switch to another language in the middle of council meetings. Plus, I ask him about his not-so-secret council romance and offer my services to sing the Canadian anthem at a meeting.

City Council Chronicles provides reviews of city council meetings from across the world. Named a "Top 100 Local Government Influencer" in 2016 and 2017 by ELGL.org.
