  • Housing expert questions rental report | Will Site C meet B.C.’s energy needs?
    Sep 18 2024

    Craig E. Jones with the Housing Research Collaborative doesn't agree with a new report showing that B.C.'s legislation on short-term rentals has led to supply increases and rent decreases. We ask our audience what they're experiencing in their rental market since short-terms rentals in B.C. were banned in May.


    Then, Clean Energy Research Group director Andy Hira says the massive Site C dam is not the answer to the province's growing need for more electricity. We hear from our audience callers on where they think the Province needs to turn for sustainable energy.

  • Is involuntary treatment for addiction the right path for the province?
    Sep 16 2024

    The B.C. government has announced it will expand involuntary care for people with mental health and addictions issues, and will open "highly secure" facilities to house people detained under the Mental Health Act throughout the province.


    We'll hear arguments for and against mandatory treatment throughout the program. Viewers are invited to share if they feel this is the right path for B.C., and if they would want this for themselves or their loved ones.
