- NDP Echo Chamber
This podcast feels more like an NDP echo chamber than a balanced political discussion. With three hosts all leaning left, there’s no conservative perspective at the table. Even though they sometimes have conservative guests on the show, the hosts save their criticism for after the guest has left when there is no conservative voice to challenge them. The show would be much stronger and more relevant if it included a right-leaning voice to provide real debate and balance.

Unlike ST. JOHN’S, NL which is like a 1000kms away from the US border…

Kates rant about permitting has inspired me to write this review. I really enjoy your insight & interviews. The issue im concerned with that doesn’t get much attention is how we have 21 municipalities in the lower mainland and 13 for greater Victoria! Maybe they made sense once upon a time but metro van has grown we are 1 ... more
Apple Podcasts5Jaz_2k1Canadaa year ago - Permitting
One of the best overall podcasts anywhere!! These hosts know BC and have exceptional guests that have great insights. However the discussion on natural resource permitting, while very interesting is mis-informed. Permitting delays/timelines are almost completely about government policy, not about the public service just going slow (although there is some truth to that). DRIPA requires consent. It is a veto, although lawyers may say that by legal definition is not. There are fixes to permitting ... more
