We heard you liked our last episode on the BC budget so we followed it up with even more budget takes! We start with more followup reactions to the BC Budget before diving into the federal government’s Equality + Growth 2018 Budget.

Plus a few quick takes and we close off with our picks for this week’s #bestofbcpoli

This week’s intro music is the Justin Trudeau song from The Canadian Beaver Band.
