  • 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.

The Jas Johal Show: Oct. 2, 2026
Q: First of all, your thoughts on what I had tweeted out, but more importantly, just a broader conversation of a vehicle levy charged to consumers potentially when they renew their insurance at about $100 to $150.
Denis Agar explains that congestion and funding gaps require new revenue tools, noting that EV adoption reduces fuel tax revenue, and discusses the potential pros and cons of a vehicle levy versus other taxes like sales taxes.

Tsawwassen Mills Tragedy: Witness and Delta Councillor Dylan Kruger
