  • Lynda is good - get rid of the guy!

    Would like the show if the whinny socialist guy would leave or be quite. He adds nothing . Would rather hear callers thoughts without his high pitched lefty comments interruptions. Will check back in when he is gone.

  • Awful co-host

    What would otherwise be a good podcast is ruined by its male co-host; the co-host frequently chimes in with verbal sound bites that add no value to the show. Furthermore, he yells during his special segments and editorials which are utterly irritating to listen to. Without him, this would be a much better program.

  • Its okay

    Her main co-host is a bit of a yes-man. Always agreeing with her in an over the top way. I dont like the call-in segment either. She doesnt have a conversation with callers which is awkward to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Metro Vancouver lose water, sewer oversight?
Q: Is it fair to say the cost overruns at the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant are a result of the current political structure, and would a technical board have prevented them?
Brad West suggests that while you can't say it would have never happened, removing politics from ultimate decision-making and placing governance in a technical, professionally overseen framework could have reduced the risk of such cost overruns by ensuring rigorous due diligence and engineering scrutiny.
Ottawa invests $3.2 billion towards food production and affordability
Q: How important are regional considerations in implementing this national strategy, especially for the North vs. Metro Vancouver?
The strategy attempts to include regional distinctions, but the North requires more targeted infrastructure; a balanced approach is essential to avoid spreading resources too thin while addressing regional needs.
Ottawa invests $3.2 billion towards food production and affordability
Q: What component of the strategy do you think would most meaningfully lower prices for BC families?
The processing and value-add piece is critical because bringing processing closer to home reduces fuel costs and cross-border dependencies, which directly affects pricing.
Ottawa invests $3.2 billion towards food production and affordability
Q: What's your reaction to the strategy and whether the $3.2 billion over ten years is a real, substantial intervention?
The money is a good start and signals priority; it's long-term and infrastructure-heavy, so while not a complete fix, it can catalyze progress in distribution, processing, and controlled-environment farming.
Trump not looking to renew CUSMA
Q: What does the July 1st deadline mean for Cusma negotiations?
Experts suggest the date may be less decisive than hoped; negotiations could continue with an annual review and potential concessions, rather than a fixed renewal.
