- Legacy Media Propaganda
Wow. I can’t believe my tax dollars pay for this. I live on Vancouver Island and have always had this podcast in my news. But in the past few weeks they’ve covered some political issues I’m very informed on. The left-wing bias is stunning. I’ll continue listening so I can debunk the misinformation my friends and family are getting from this.

Canada4 months ago - Our Island or Province ?
Based on your ads for this program I was hoping for very local Island coverage, but, alas, it’s mostly provincial. Salmon? Forestry? Where are the issues actual listeners are actually concerned with - unwanted glass towers going up in our neighborhoods, intrusive bike lanes in Victoria where most of the population will never bicycle, huge increases in noise and traffic and loss of green spaces in places we chose to live for their peace and quiet. Please consider refocussing to local issues.

The audio ad for this show talks about how other BC shows centre Vancouver, claims "we do things differently," and immediately shares 3 examples from south of Cowichan Valley. Not so different after all, if the ad is anything to go by.

Good podcast, but offensive to hear paid advertising by the BCTF interspersed in this podcast episode on education
