4.5 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • Not good anymore

    I used to listen on podcast and tune in when i could. After today, i am moving on. This is garbage content, meaningless noise. The stupid contests are fingers on chalk board. No wonder Corus is bankrupt, they have lost their way. Turned woke. Go Woke, go Broke.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Skytrain to Newton? - Conservative's Budget Promises - Indigo's Best Books of the Year
Q: Okay. So you tell me, are these numbers reachable?
Ross Hickey says the forecast is possible under some global economic conditions, but it does not depend primarily on who is premier. British Columbia is export-oriented and exposed to global growth and tariffs, so he expects its growth projections to be lower than Canada's.
Skytrain to Newton? - Conservative's Budget Promises - Indigo's Best Books of the Year
Q: Now, what would it take to make that SkyTrain to Newton happen? Can you outline for us the type of process so that people have a realistic idea of what's involved in this?
Kevin Quinn says TransLink would need to develop a business case covering costs, benefits, ridership, station locations, technical requirements, and whether more SkyTrain cars would be needed. The project would also require funding and discussions with provincial and federal partners.
View on Politics: Conservative's plan with DRIPA & Doerksen not speaking Saturday?
Q: And then also look at their baking plans. What to do with Metro Vancouver too?
Palmer says the Conservatives want Metro Vancouver to focus on utilities such as water and sewage rather than operate as a broad regional government, and he connects that proposal to local backlash over the organization's scope.
View on Politics: Conservative's plan with DRIPA & Doerksen not speaking Saturday?
Q: There are a lot of big changes that can, I guess, be expected if the BC Conservatives win.
Palmer highlights potential changes to Indigenous reconciliation and DRIPA, access to parks and Crown land, property rights, and transparency around agreements and title claims involving First Nations.
Housing Affordability Election Issue - The Flu is here! - The Bad Apple Effect
Q: What do we know about this year's flu strain?
Jenne says the strain arrived early and is spreading quickly, but does not appear more dangerous than previous strains. The vaccine appears to be a good match, and vaccination also covers other strains expected later.
