Adam Stirling: The Podcast

Adam spoke with Ron Cheffins, UVic Professor Emeritus of Law and Political Science for their weekly political discussion. This week they talked about provincial politics and the premier approval ratings.

In this hour, Adam opened up the phone lines to hear what listeners have to say.

In the first hour of today’s show, Adam was joined by Mike Kozakowski from Citified-dot-CA for their weekly roundtable discussion. They discussed the Victoria Police budget and why amalgamation between Saanich and Victoria won’t happen.

A joint meeting of the councils of the Township of Esquimalt, the City of Victoria, and the Victoria Esquimalt Police Board recently heard concerns that if the police department were to be given a 12% financial boost to restore service levels, there would be a risk of removing "pressure" on the province to fund more mental health services. 

Adam asks: why would removing pressure be a bad thing? 

In this hour, Dr. Lyne Filiatrault, member of Protect our Province BC, is credited with a pivotal role in B.C.’s avoidance of the SARS epidemic. Protect our Province BC is calling for the province to adopt a grassroots approach to health care as the province struggles in the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, Adam spoke with Dave Korzinski, Research Director, Angus Reid, about a recent Angus Reid poll that found 58 per cent of Canadian youth aged 12-18 say they’ve witnessed race-based bullying.
