E-scooter ride gone wrong, federal NDP benefits from climate concern, BC Ferries long-weekend travel and the last gala for David Foster Foundation

A new Angus Reid Poll suggests the federal NDP may be getting a boost in popularity as concern over climate change rebounds. Their data found climate as a top issue has crawled up from 14 per cent in March to 21 per cent now. Meanwhile, one-in-six people who voted Liberal in the past federal election told pollsters they would now support the NDP. What’s the deal with the NDP’s proposal for a Green New Deal? NDP leader Avi Lewis joins.  Plus, the David Foster Foundation says this upcoming gala will be the last for the foundation, and it’s a much awaited event with new details about special guests. Foundation CEO Mike Ravenhill has the latest.  BC Ferries is getting set for a busy long weekend and we catch up on what you need to know if you are planning to get off the island for BC Day, with spokesperson Lilian Kim.  Meanwhile, we've been tuned into safety issues that come with the rise of e-mobility lately, as police increasingly remind us of the road rules and age restrictions. Now, the hazards of these devices are something local Saanich Councillor Colin Plant is feeling first-hand, after receiving a significant injury in an E-Scooter ride gone wrong – ending with a crash in a parking lot. He shares his experience. Plus, housing policy continues to dominate the controversies in B.C. politics, with a Research Co. poll suggesting British Columbians are largely mixed on the rent-to-own proposal some critics have described as a “condo bail-out.” Research Co. president Mario Canseco breaks it down.
