Yesterday we told you about the details of an audit released by BCLC, which claims there was no systemic pattern of money laundering with regards to cheques coming out of River Rock Casino between 2014 and 2016, despite the Peter German report making it clear that dirty money was flowing in and out of the casino regularly.

Guest: Attorney General David Eby

Chapter 2:

All new vehicles sold in BC will have to be electric by the year 2040, after the government tabled new legislation designed to phase out gas powered cars. But how realistic is this pledge, given that electric cars are expensive, inaccessible (many people are on waiting lists) and require special infrastructure to run?

Pain is an unpleasant sensory experience from the brain. For those that suffer from chronic pain I’m sure you can relate to the unpleasant component and may share in a well known fact known from those of us who have worked with individuals that suffer from chronic pain that you “don’t feel heard.”

David Eby Called an urgent press conference to selectively release six of 300 pages in the latest report on money laundering saying he is shocked by the news that there are “zero” federally funded officers looking into money laundering in BC.  The Vancouver Sun's Vaughn Palmer is here with his take on the day's headlines.

Chapter 1:

We have a widely recognized problem with money laundering, but there are NO federally funded dedicated RCMP officers working on the file in BC.  The federal minister in charge of this file blamed cuts of over $500 million from the RCMP’s budget that’s denied them tools to fight organised crime.  Are you satisfied with the way the federal government is helping BC tackle money laundering?

Guest: Financial crime expert and former RCMP Superintendent Garry Clement

Chapter 2:
