  • Coffee shop level analysis, avoid

    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.

    Great show. Very informative. I would strongly suggest some editing to eliminate the pauses, hmmms, and aaaaahs.
