This week, Jody and George Olympic fever… not so much but the flip flopping on Ottawa have the judges giving out perfect tens; meanwhile, the impact of the truckers blockade at the Canadian borders has every party and group painted into very tight corner; and ... in BC, tiny housing and DJs off the rails — what a week to be a podcaster.

Welcome to UnSpun - The Orca's current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more.

This week, Jody and George conservatively predict the future of the federal Conservative party with the ouster of its leader, Erin O'Toole; then a focus on another right of centre party — the BC Liberals — and their leadership challenges and challenges; and then we truck on down to Vancouver where smashed windows hit close to home but the challenge of policing and the dichotomy of what action the police can or will take on that or any issue is the ultimate question.

Fewer sales but higher prices predicted for B.C.'s housing market, expansion plans for the Port of Prince Rupert, and those soaring oil prices are paying off for another big oil company. Bob Price has your February 3rd Orca Business Beat, brought to you by Mundi Hotels.
