The Jas Johal Political Happy Hour

Welcome to The Jas Johal Show Political Happy Hour — where the week’s best political conversations keep going. This week: New Sheriff, Empty Wallets: Doerkson’s Fast Start and the Findlay Money Flood. B.C.’s new government isn’t even sworn in yet, and it already wants back in the chamber. Lorne Doerkson is weighing a quick fall session before Christmas: smart move, or rookie rush? Then follow the money. Kerry-Lynne Findlay walked out the door, and Conservative donations poured in, including $800,000 in a single day, while NDP donors kept their wallets shut. Keith Baldrey breaks it all down. (1:10) No Massey Bridge? The Tunnel at a Crossroads. Is the Massey Tunnel replacement past the point of no return? Bryan Railton, business manager with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115, on what’s at stake for the project, the workers and the commuters stuck in the middle. (15:40) A Former New Democrat Takes Aim at Bill 44. Former NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan explains why she’s backing the BC Conservatives’ promise to repeal Bill 44, and what she thinks the NDP got wrong on housing density. (28:08) Pull up a chair.
