Can a cat change the law? In 2012, a dapper black-and-white feline named Tuxedo Stan did exactly that.

In this episode, we dive into the incredible true story of Halifax’s most famous politician. Born to a stray named Greycie, Stan rose from humble beginnings to become the face of the "Tuxedo Party of Canada." We explore how a "failed" mayoral bid—disqualified only because he lacked a human birth certificate—captured the hearts of Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper, and ultimately forced the Halifax Regional Council to take action for animal welfare.

It’s a story of civic duty, the power of a global community, and the lasting legacy of a cat who proved you don't need a vote to make a difference.
