Lorne Doerkson’s BC Conservatives won a massive majority with 48% of the vote and 63 seats (at time of recording), while David Eby’s BCNDP crashes to 37% in its worst result since 2001 (and second worst result since Thomas Berger). The Greens sit at ... more
Scott’s last episode before paternity leave coinciding with possibly our last episode covering David Eby as premier. What a world.
Anyway, the polls are bad for David Eby, the Conservative platform is built on economic magic and maybe we’ll look fo... more
The debate was bad. The platforms are too long, too short or too non-existent. But at least the Cons are smart enough to dump the Hitler comment guy.

By far the best political podcast I listen to. The hosts are very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and the content is always substantive. Politicoast is the gold standard.
However this is probably the most boring podcast I have ever listened to.
Hard to believe a year end review of BC would not discuss the largest provincial expense, health care, and how that is going… Overall, subtly one-sided and uniformed. I did try for six months of this, hoping for more.
Very informative podcast. Just listened to “broken bc”, here’s hoping that provincial politics get mended soon!
The hosts have an intelligent and unbiased discussion of whatever is most important in BC and Canadian politics every week. It is entertaining and enlightening.

A West Coast politics show focused on British Columbia and broader Canadian politics, delivering sharp, opinionated analysis of policy debates, leadership moves, elections, and governance. Episodes balance practical policy discussion with candid banter between two veteran hosts, often unpacking provincial issues (nurses strikes, housing, energy, infrastructure) while weaving in national politics and cross-border dynamics. Unique strengths include a clear local lens, accessible explanations of complex policy topics, and a preference for nonpartisan critique paired with humor. This makes it helpful for listeners who want timely, thoughtful BC-centric political coverage and for potential sponsors seeking a politically engaged audience that val... more
