BC's Favourite Mayor
from BC War Room
Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, chair of the TransLink Mayors' Council, joins the BC War Room on Day 11 of the campaign. West breaks down the NDP's rocky start to the snap election, the confusion of running a municipal campaign at the same time as a provincial one, and the welcome shift toward an economy- focused race — along with what both parties have left out: how their announcements translate into a better life for working British Columbians. He also makes the case that neither party is being honest about BC's deficit, arguing that "growing our way out" would require growth no jurisdiction has ever achieved; weighs in on the court ruling that struck down drug legislation and the talk of using the notwithstanding clause; and responds to a recent column calling him a "normal" politician. Hosted by Michael Gardiner (Current Public Affairs, former executive director of the BC NDP) and Azim Jiwani. The BC War Room from Sitka Media runs every weekday morning at 9 AM until voting day.
