About this episode

The episode discusses the fractured left in Vancouver politics, scrutiny over the mayor's actions, and various local issues including police chief firings and environmental policies.

The left remains fractured as the VDLC backs William Azaroff and OneCity. Ken Sim and ABC face scrutiny over reversing the natural gas ban, blocking Vision Zero speed reductions, dismissing code of conduct violations and shuttering a proposed Yaletown overdoe prevention site. But at least we have the World Cup coming to town! In Surrey, the police chief was fired. The mayor of Port Moody faces challenges from the left and right. And Richmond schools debate ribbons.
