On this week’s BC Brief Roundup, we are talking about the role that the media is playing during this pandemic. Rachael sits down (from afar) with Jas Johal, long-time Global News Journalist and current BC Liberal MLA to discuss what the media response has been to the pandemic.

On this week’s revamped BC Brief Roundup, we are talking about the role of government during times of crisis. Rachael and Emile discuss steps the party has taken to follow the public health rules. Norm Letnick, our health critic, joins us to talk about what our government is doing to tackle this pandemic.

We are living in different times, so we thought we might take this opportunity to change up our weekly BC Liberal podcast, to bring you stories and information more relevant to the times we are living in.

We’re calling this new version: BC Brief Roundup. Starting next Friday, March 27th, you will hear new voices, new stories, and new topics. Instead of learning about our guests, we will be focusing on important discussions about what is happening in our communities while we all go through this together.

Our hope is that you can use this podcast to continue to engage with us from the comfort of your own.

We’ll speak to you next week!
