UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 184

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 go big or go home with the announcement by Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum that if he is re-elected in October he will build a 60,000 seat stadium. Spin, bravado, whatever you call it, it has people talking; then it’s a tour of some other municipalities like Delta and Burnaby and how they find ways to stand out; but in the end, it’s Vancouver and its whacky world of party politics which has no less than ten parties battling for control of the city. Talk about spin. All that and more on UnSpun Podcast.

UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 183

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 explicit with their words. But that seems to be going around in politics these days. Then it’s on to rumours of Vancouver’s oldest political party announcing a new leader to replace the recently departed John Coupar. That is really going to mess up the plans of some of the mayoral candidates who thought the NPA vote would go to them. Meanwhile, sitting mayor, Kennedy Stewart, is sitting pretty in a likely easy victory for him because the split on the right side of the political spectrum is between four people, and he is all on his own on the let. Over in Victoria, heads rolled in the BC Liberal caucus as one member went one step too far in the climate change denial file and leader Kevin Falcon gave the big boot to the caucus culprit. And in Healthcare, Minister Adrian Dix is predicting a dire fall ahead for all of us as hospitals deal with the potential influx of Covid patients and regular flu patients while also trying to operate with an ever-depleted system in need of an overhaul that does not seem to be coming.

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 take a look at the latest poll in Vancouver that has pretty much every candidate in a dead heat for mayor. So good news Vancouver — chaos continues. That said — this could end up with a very interesting mix where the next mayor of Vancouver has absolutely no power — even better news. Right? Of course not to disappoint, Park Board continues on its merry way of not keeping us cool when it’s hot thus making us lose our cool. How hard is it to plan for a few lifeguards when summer comes every year? Apparently for Vancouver’s Park Board — very hard. All that and whole bunch more on the latest UnSpunPodcast.

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 handle the truth and some criticism but can Vancouver’s Park Board — seems not; the power of oil and anti-oil in a civic election — the room is divided but should it be; BC is getting a new Premier but should it be more of a challenge than David Eby is having — probably; and what are you willing to pay for a rock concert?

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 weather the storm whether they like it or not. In Vancouver, the Mayor rehashes some old policies like they are new policies, which is the the ultimate cynical election spin; then — that’s not a knife, this is a knife — the silliest twitter troll wars erupt so it must be an election year but the whole thing has one local influencer leaving the social media platform all together; The Broadway Plan is on the docket at city hall in Vancouver and there are 42 changes the council want to make — one for every communications staffer working there; and finally, what’s in a name? The BC Liberals will be asking supporters that and what they say … goes. All that and more on UnSpunpodcast.
