Ep 04: You’re Fired!

Ian & Scott are joined by Micah to discuss all things politics, both in BC and across the Canada. In this episode they discuss the firing of the Vancouver School Board, reactions to the third US presidential debate, the Supreme Court of Canada appointment, new BC leadership candidates for the federal Conservatives and NDP, Trudeau’s backing away from electoral reform and a bridge to the sunshine coast. Buckle in, this is a long one. And apologies for the lower sound quality on this one, we had to record over Skype and using our b-studio.
