Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, and federal politics, and much more.
This week, George and Jody wonder why government seems hell bent on trying to be a housing devloper. Leave business to business and focus on better approvals more and faster.
The prefect example is ICBA headquarters. Sold from the Crown Corporation to the province at 50 cents on the dollar. Now the province wants to turn the insurance broker’s old office into social housing. Sure, sounds lovely. Or maybe a dumpster fire.
A new poll is out and NDP may be happy but it’s far from a done deal for the ruling party. The next election is shaping up to be a nail biter and right now it is nobody’s and everybody’s game for the win.
And finally, it’s summer. Get outside and listen UnSpun.

Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, and federal politics, and much more.
This week, George and Jody go full Kevin … specifically and metaphorically. From BC United leader Kevin Falcon to other Kevins and other people who, when faced with personal brand and overall brand challenges, must decide if there is anything they can do to turn that brand frown upside down.
Of course, if you are a government, or governing body, clearly brand damage is not an issue because, if it were out of control, tax and fee increases that discourage building development would be something to care about. Clearly not in Burnaby, where a massive fee increase may cripple building and construction.
And in Surrey, the RCMP, which leads to George admitting something that pains him. What could it be? Tune in and find out on UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck

Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, and federal politics, and much more.
This week, George and Jody take a deep dive into why the City of Vancouver, Park Board or government in general do not seem to get a handle on long-range planning and, in particular, why a pool in Vancouver can be so difficult to maintain. Is it the pool or the pool overlords? I think you know where this will go.
Meanwhile, bloated budgets in Vancouver are standard now and continue to cost taxpayers billions. But this week, the target is the mayor’s office and how one city councillor is calling bluff on Mayor Sim’s largesse.
And finally, BC United and BC Conservatives. Maybe there really is a coalition? George has a theory. Tune in and find out what it is.
