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 it is Episode 202 — Season 5! Jody and George ask why hundreds of thousands of dollars every year is spent on “micro-cleaning” (what’s that exactly?) on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, yet things seem to get worse year after year. Then over at Park Board, cleaning up takes on a different meaning when the mess of bureaucracy and politics is what needs a make-over. And finally, tensions and pressure on politicians can take their toll. The announcement by New Zealand’s popular and internationally recognized Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern that she is done with politics is a surprise and not a surprise. Jody and George will tell you why. All that and more on Unspun Podcast.

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 give a bit of Christmas cheer but not too much because you know what they say in Vancouver when it snows, it … it … it … rains, terrible drivers and chaos on our roads. What to do? Stay off the roads, people. Meanwhile, over at the City of Vancouver, it is budget time, and big bucks may flow unless Mayor CPA, Ken Sim, can figure this massive, bloated mess out. Taxpayers await. And in Victoria, Premier Eby may be doing more bad than good to housing prices and rent. How? Tune in to the end of UnSpun and find out. All that and more on Unspun Podcast.

UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 197

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 dig into Vancouver’s park board as we see the barge on the beach sale off (in pieces) into the sunset along with some pretty terrible decisions by the previous administration — we hope; meanwhile, skyrocketing policing costs are all the rage in BC but will that solve the many problems communities have with crime, homelessness, drug addiction and more? Probably not, and finally, how much housing do we really need in Canada? George does the math … again. All that and more on Unspun Podcast.

This week, Jody and George shorten the usual 100 days of judgment for a new leader down to 10 for Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. Ugh. Cops in Surrey — it looks like they may end up with two police forces.

And finally … the Vancouver Police Department’s leaked report about the costs of services and other matters on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside apparently exceeds $5 billion! Does it, or is this about something else (Spin!)? All that and more on Unspun Podcast.
