UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 233

Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more. This week, Jody and George celebrate (?) the one-year anniversary of Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC Vancouver party’s sweeping victory. The reviews are in, and so far they seem to be on track, but is that mostly related to a train ride in Stanley Park? Heck, even if Ken Sim or any other mayor in the region wanted to claim victory for achievements, the BC Provincial government is stealing their thunder and their power after yet another major legislation change that impacts housing decision-making and how little municipal governments have a say in it. If this keeps happening, it begs the question: Why do we even have local governments? And finally, Hilary Clinton makes some sense of it all—not Vancouver—the world right now. Find out why.

Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more. This week, Jody and George talk leadership — there are good leaders and then there are … welllllll. Speaking of that, the BC Conservative leader is taking a stand against AirBNB rules in BC. Jody and George have differing views on this one. Awkward? Maybe. Translink is in a cash crunch. Who will pay? Well now it’s time to get serious about funding and the role of government.

UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 229

Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more. This week, Jody and George can’t help but express their sadness and concern for the geopolitical crisis we are in. And while it’s challenging to focus on our domestic issues in comparison, the success of any good democracy is acceptance of credible criticism and we have some that is for sure — cops in Surrey, BC Ferry staffing, and the non housing announcement at the housing announcement in Vancouver.

UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 228

Welcome to UnSpun, your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more. This week, Jody and George speak about speakers and speaking about how the whole issue really speaks to the issue of … oh … politics. In Manitoba, new leadership might be a red flag for politicians who are choosing populism over pragmatism. Read the room, guys. The world is changing. Keep up. And in Vancouver, it’s three years before the next election, but signs of politicking have already begun. I guess it gives UnSpun lots to talk about.

Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more. This week, Jody and George get into the power of bad press and why some politicians handle it and others get buried by it.
