Pools, Pipelines & Free Speech Fights: Vancouver to Jimmy Kimmel | UnSpun Ep. 298
This week’s episode of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck swings from Vancouver’s park board meltdown to global free speech battles — all the messy politics you need in under 40 minutes.
Here’s what’s on deck:
🌲 Stanley Park & Surrey Swap — The Bright Lights fundraiser bails on Vancouver, heading to Surrey instead. The train’s still broken, the park board is still flailing, and Kits Pool has become the symbol of civic neglect. 🏛️ Ken Sim vs. David Eby — The mayor wants the park board gone, the premier’s stalling, and George has an unfiltered solution: put it to a referendum. 👴 Richmond Without Brodie — After 25 years, Mayor Malcolm Brodie steps aside. What happens in a city without party politics? ⚖️ Rustad’s Conservative Drama — Membership scandals, leadership reviews, and a caucus on the brink. George explains why losing your team means losing your career. 💸 BC’s Budget Bombshell — Record deficits, collapsing property transfer tax revenue, and whether the Bank of Canada’s small rate cut can actually save homeowners. 🏗️ Housing & Development Freeze — Projects canceled, inventory bottlenecks, and why governments never build when it matters most. 🌍 Carney Meets Eby — Pipelines, LNG, and Canada’s resource future. Can BC balance union jobs with environmental politics? 🎤 Jimmy Kimmel Suspended — A joke, a pivot, and a corporate backlash spark a bigger fight over free speech, comedy, and creeping state-TV vibes.
📍 From Vancouver’s crumbling pools to Washington’s late-night purge, Jody and George cut through the noise with their signature spin.
