  • 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 UBC’s transit line been built 10 years ago?
Q: How long would it take to build the extension if approved soon?
Design to completion is estimated at eight to nine years, underscoring the need to move quickly to avoid further delays and to realize benefits in the 2030s.
Should UBC’s transit line been built 10 years ago?
Q: What makes now the right moment to push for completion to UBC?
A combination of an impending capacity problem on opening day, a strong business case driven by housing and economic benefits, and a broader regional plan that demands a connected network across key hubs.
Should UBC’s transit line been built 10 years ago?
Q: How far back did the university advocate for the SkyTrain extension to UBC?
The discussion indicates a long-standing push over many years, with renewed emphasis as the Arbutus extension opens soon and capacity issues surface, reinforcing the case for extending all the way to UBC.
BCBC statement on B.C.’s Look West Update
Q: So, your statement certainly welcomed the direction the province was taking, but it did urge caution. What's the gap between the headline number and reality on the ground in your mind?
The major projects number is a strong headline, with the caveat that there needs clearer specificity on what is a confirmed final investment decision versus what remains proposal and in-flight work; while the scale is impressive, the real impact hinges on transition from proposal to firm commitments and timely reporting on progress.
Taxpayer-funded bonuses lure experienced officers between detachments
Q: What are your thoughts on a bonus structure to recruit experienced officers?
The bonuses are expensive for taxpayers and reveal deeper issues in planning and coordinating police services during the transition, including how to balance workforce stability, mentorship, and long-term training.
