CHAPTER 1

🔥🔥 Hot question of the day 🔥🔥

It’s @jodyvance’s 🔥 question of the day:

With housing affordability continuing at crisis levels in the lower mainland, would you consider co-home-ownership? 

Yes!

Not sure how that works.

No way, too risky.

 

CHAPTER 2

Protests expected at the BC Legislature today 

If you watched the viral clips from the BC Legislature protests last week, you likely saw footage of our next guest, she’s rather famous for holding a feather in the path of those who might try to stop her activist message …. Chrissy Brett is on the line with us.  Chrissy, thanks for doing this. 

Guest:  Chrissy Brett

CHAPTER 3

Economic instability in 2020 

Economic Anxiety is real … and seems to be growing.  There are so many variables at play both globally and locally  think, trade issues with China, COVID 19 … Trump and lead up to the 2020 presidential election,and now in canada we have issues with good being moved with rail blockades and port disruptions.  Time to bring in the man who can give us the 411 on how things are playing out from a market or economic standpoint, host of Moneytalks, Michael Campbell joins us on the line.  Hi Michael.  

Guest: Michael Campbell

CHAPTER 4

Who is behind the protests against Coastal Gaslink

Lots of chatter on social media about who is backing protesters against the Coastal GasLink Pipeline. Our next guest suggests it's outrageous to suggest it’s anyone but the Wet’suwet’en. 

Guest: Sandy Garossino

Columnist with the National Observer

 

CHAPTER 5

What stresses us out these days?

A new poll from ResearchCo says a majority of BC parents are stressed by work and finance. 65% say it’s likely their children will have to move from the municipality they grew up in.

Guest: Mario Canseco

President, ResearchCo

 

CHAPTER 6

Would you ever co-own a home? 

Would you ever co-own a home?  A recent Ipsos poll found that 24% of millennials are considering co-owning a home.

If you want to learn more about co-ownership, you can learn more at cohobc.com - That’s Noam Dolgin’s website where he breaks all the information down.

CHAPTER 7

Vancouver sidewalks falling apart 

Have you looked around and seen issues on Vancouver streets and sidewalks falling into disrepair?  Jordan Armstrong, Global BC reporter and anchor, did a story on Granville Strip sidewalks being all but impassable.

Guest: Sarah-Kirby-Yung 

Vancouver City Councillor

 

CHAPTER 8

When is it time to put down social media?

We’ve all witnessed one, if not been a part of one … a twitter storm.  The rather benign posting that suddenly turns to a crazy back and for that can sometimes leave the most innocent of posters feeling gaslit.  There are trolls, and then there are bullies.  The prior are often just out to muddy a matter …. The latter is more about tossing grenades, with little back up, and then pivoting to generalizations and whataboutism to avoid any fact-check on their “hot take”.  To talk us through a few DO’s AND DON’Ts for your social media “digital citizenship”........WE welcome Jesse Miller of Mediated Reality back to the show. 

Guest: Jesse Miller
