Jody and George talk about freedom of information and why the latest move by the BC NDP Provincial Government to charge a fee for information is undemocratic and dangerous; then it’s onto Vancouver where Mayor Kennedy Stewart makes pie in the sky announcements about housing more about re-election then successful policymaking; meanwhile, in Surrey, things are heating up in the fight over policing; and finally, Jody shares two emotional journeys that are a must-see and hear.

SWIM ON:
- Last week was a great show, but let's be honest - the birthday was the BIG draw.
- Why are the NDP spitting into the wind on Freedom of Information? They may have tipped their hand two years ago.
- Jody mentions her remarkable experience (and column!) at Justin Trudeau's belated trip to the former Kamloops Residential School site.
