UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 106

Welcome to UnSpun - The Orca's current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more.

This week on UnSpun, something big happened this week in USA. Did you hear? One of the key promises being made by President Biden’s communications team — transparency and truth. We like that. Here in BC, the rollout for the Covid-19 vaccine is hitting some bumps and people are not happy with it. Could we be doing a better job? And school boards — how is that some bad apples can continue as elected trustees when they seem to have no respect for why they're there?

  • Last week on UnSpun, George and Jody talked municipal councils (raise their salaries?), pre-zoning (keep it up?) and COVID-19 vaccine (jab or not to jab?)
  • Jody delves into her column this week, about Chilliwack School Trustee Barry Neufeld, and his having proved conclusively that dammit, there oughta be a way to fire his ass.
  • If you like good, intelligent conversation (and who doesn't), don't miss the debut episode of A Second Look, as host Justin P. Goodrich welcomes activist and Emmy-nominated producer Judi Lewinson to talk Black Lives Matter.
