Jody and George ask a lot of questions like: why is that Vancouver has a property tax increase of 7% yet Port Coquitlam comes in under 0.5%? And, why is a senior, high-profile economist selling higher taxes (you'd think an economist would know better)? And, when Ricky Gervais calls out "wokeness," does anyone listen...or understand; and is Jody trying to turn George into a vegetarian? All this, beardgate and more.
