Ep 107: Policy Pop-Up

We speak to the founder of Policy Pop-Up a new effort to engage millennials in conversations about complex policy issues that are in the news. Then we look at BC’s Auditor General’s latest report on tax expenditures, why the homebuyer credit is bad and why transparency is good. And the IPCC has a new report out basically conceding that no one is doing enough to stop catastrophic climate change and we’re all going to boil. Plus quick takes! We’re moderating a proportional representation debate! Hosted by the Canadian Club at the Terminal City Club on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 between 12:00-2:00 PM. Get tickets online before October 19.
