The Dash

David and Meghan are joined by Squamish Nation Councillor and community advocate, Khelsilem. They talk about Squamish governance, what it means to be an Indigenous politician, and advice on how he stays grounded while devoting himself to so many projects. 

David and Meghan discuss two legislative initiatives. The first,  at the beginning of its journey to becoming a law, is a consultation on legislation to address the non-consensual distribution of intimate images and the second, the landowner transparency registry, which recently went live.

After significant progress has been made in meeting the immediate need for housing for the people camping in Strathcona park, David and Meghan talk about what's next. They also touch on how  politicians can acknowledge mistakes and change course, and they bring back the Falcon Report for a bit of nostalgia from the days of the BC Liberal government. 

David and Meghan catch up the day after David testified at the Cullen Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering. They also talk about the upcoming deadline to providing housing for those currently living in encampments in Vancouver and Victoria, and a quick update on Vancouver municipal politics. 

This week David and Meghan are joined on the podcast by Vancouver City Councillor Christine Boyle. They talk about the flurry of announcements from candidates for Mayor, some of the challenges facing Vancouver, and why Christine got into municipal politics. 

This week's episode is a potpourri of issues from housing to money laundering, to the throne speech. And to cap it off, David and Meghan check in on a pressing political concern — the BC Liberal leadership race. 

This week, David and Meghan take a week off and in place of The Dash are highlighting the amazing This is VANCOLOUR podcast, by Mo Amir. In this episode, Mo talks to MLA for Delta North and the Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation, Ravi Kahlon. 

We hope you enjoy this special episode.

David and Meghan are joined on the podcast by Minister of State for Infrastructure, Bowinn Ma, to talk about how to make transportation infrastructure work for the environment, health, and the good of our communities. 

David and Meghan are joined on the podcast by BCGEU Treasurer Paul Finch to discuss the role of a modern union in advocating for the interests of working people, the economics of land and a legal path not taken. 

In preparation for graduating from law school, Meghan comes to David seeking advice on finding work-life balance, approaching career planning and taking care of her mental health.
