Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Mayor Ken Sim makes a major flub in his leadership style and the “invisible” opposition that can be found on X are going to town on him. Election 2026 has begun. And finally, Covid in the house!! Find out who… and so much more … on UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck Visit our website to learn where to watch and listen at UnSpunPodcast.com

And trouble in Delta where Mayor George Harvie has lost the trust of his Council. This puts Delta on the one-to-watch list for local politicos and journalists.

    Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, and federal politics, and much more. This week, homes for everyone! Well, in theory that is what the federal government is proposing but is realistic and what’s the alternative.

The apocalyptical ice cream truck is coming to a neighbourhood near you. Meanwhile, police boards get an overhaul across BC, but you can’t help but think this is really meant to control what is going on in Surrey policing fiasco and put a stop to their mayor controlling the agenda. And finally, is BC headed for a coalition government. That’s a new theory floating out there.
