Ron Speaks on the Love the North Podcast. Watch here
Updated: Oct 25
With decades of experience in broadcasting, business development, government consulting, and community projects, Ward 12 candidate Ron Goswell joins Love the North to discuss why he's stepping out of retirement to run for Greater Sudbury City Council. From helping develop Northern Ontario's broadcasting industry and operating Burger King franchises across Ontario to contributing to projects such as Science North, Goswell brings a business-focused perspective to municipal government. His central message? "No new debt without offsetting new revenues." Throughout the conversation, we explore municipal accountability, zero-based budgeting, property taxes, and why councillors must understand the responsibility of overseeing a city budget approaching $900 million. Goswell also discusses revitalizing the Flour Mill silos, protecting established neighbourhoods from inappropriate development, attracting government offices and employment to Northern Ontario, and his vision for a 1,500-seat performing arts centre in Sudbury. He argues that strong leadership requires more than election promises. It requires experience, collaboration, financial responsibility, and a vision for the entire city. As Greater Sudbury prepares to vote, this conversation raises an important question: Are we electing familiar names, or are we hiring the people best qualified to manage our city's future? Watch the full conversation on Love the North.
