Episode 332 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Ottawa's tariff standoff to a new Vancouver poll that reshapes the October election, and ends with a province on fire.

Here's what's inside:

Carney Plays Hardball on Tariffs: Mark Carney trolls Trump's failed teleprompter and refuses to negotiate in public. With a new round of tariffs landing August 19, George lays out why there is no point signing anything with a president whose signature isn't worth the paper, and predicts aluminum is where Trump finally blinks.

Canada's Numbers Are Quietly Good: Over $200 billion in new foreign investment in a single year, oil revenues climbing, and a nearly balanced budget in sight. Carney's five-year, one-trillion-dollar investment target is somehow on track, and the opposition has very little to swing at.

Aluminum, Potash and Real Leverage: American manufacturers and farmers are the ones bleeding. Jody and George break down which cards Canada actually holds, from critical minerals to winter energy, and why threatening to shut off the grid is not a strategy.

Carney 63 Per Cent, Poilievre 14: The Conservative leader now polls one point above "undecided." George asks the question the caucus won't: at what point does a party tell its leader the act isn't working anymore?

BC Conservatives Keep Bleeding: Another executive resignation, another scorched-earth farewell letter, and a party arguing about whether to purge its former BC Liberals. George explains why that coalition is the only thing that has ever won government in this province.

New Vancouver Poll: ABC 31, Liberals and Greens Tied at 19: Fresh numbers put ABC well out front, Colleen Hardwick's party capped at 14, and 30 per cent still undecided. Pete Fry leads on the leadership questions despite his party sitting third.

Too Many Parties, One Obvious Fix: George's blunt advice to Vancouver's left: pick one leader, run a coalition, or hand ABC another term. Meanwhile ABC's polling lead translates into a war chest the others cannot match.

John Coupar Runs for Council: The former NPA park board chair announces a council run. George worked two campaigns with him and explains why the man who saved the Bloedel Conservatory got pushed out as chair of park board by his own side.

Kits Pool Goes Viral: Two million views and 4.3 million impressions in seven days. Not a lone wolf, not bots. freekitspool.com.

111 Wildfires and a Heat Dome: Boston Bar, Clinton, and a monster fire north of Vernon racing toward 100 Mile. Dry lightning, evacuation orders being ignored, and Mexican firefighters landing in Abbotsford to double the force. Jody makes the climate point and braces for the trolls.

Tell us in the comments: Can Vancouver's left actually unite before October? Is Poilievre finished? And why is there still no state of emergency in Clinton?

Episode 331 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Ottawa's negotiating table to Victoria's caucus cracks to a Vancouver council vote that George says was 100% political.

Here's what's inside:

Carney Won't Weaponize Our Oil: The Prime Minister rules out using energy as leverage against the US. George argues Canada's whole pitch is ethical, reliable resources, and burning that reputation costs more than it wins. Doug Ford can threaten shutting hydro to the northeast. The country still negotiates as one.

Why Can't Canada Build a Train?: Political pushback in Quebec and Ontario stalls high-speed rail while the rest of the world moves people and freight fast and cheap. Jody and George run through the trains we've already killed, from Vancouver Island to Chilliwack, and ask why we tear up track instead of laying it.

Wildfires, Floods & a Brutal Summer: First Nations communities in Northern Ontario wiped out, Clinton BC devastated, flooding across Edmonton highways, and evacuations around Kamloops. The stories getting lost while the US complains about smoke.

Kelly Greene Defies the Caucus: The MLA breaks ranks over the Tilbury LNG project and isn't disciplined for it. Eby says there's room for disagreement. George says that's how a Pandora's box opens, and that losing your caucus is the beginning of losing everything.

Centre BC and the Fight for the Middle: Mike Bernier resurrects the centre-right lane and blames Trudeau for the BC Liberals' collapse. George isn't buying it. He says weak leadership did it, that Kevin Falcon was ten years behind the times, and that Ellis Ross might have been premier if the party had picked him.

BC Conservative Turmoil: The party turfs its executive director, and Carrie Lynn Finley picks a fight over whether to keep saying "First Nations." Jody's response: of all the problems in BC, that's your priority? The whip comes down hard, the party looks more extreme, and the centre vote goes looking for a home.

The Villages Plan Goes Down: 22 sites, four to six storeys, gentle density with small grocery stores and shops you can walk to. Council votes it down and blames staff for a flawed three-year process. George calls that unacceptable, says the right move was sending it back for amendments, and admits he'd have voted for it and eaten the consequences. Frances Bula's reporting and neighbourhood walks come up throughout.

Fake Callers, Real Consequences: Paid speakers phoning in from California to a Vancouver public hearing. Once screening tightened up, the line went dead. So much for overwhelming opposition.

September Cuts Coming: The 0% property tax increase was never the whole story. George predicts big layoffs across staff levels when the budget breakdown lands this fall, and says he's already seeing improvements from the last round.

Sports & City Deals: Vancouver picks a prospective owner to chase a Major League Baseball team. Jody would rather hear the Whitecaps are saved. And the Aquilinis float a Canucks training facility at Britannia, which would keep ice in the community and set off a fight on Commercial Drive.

Kits Pool Keeps Climbing: 2.5 million social media impressions in seven days, strangers stopping Jody's partner on the street, and freekitspool.com still gathering names. Her message to Park Board: open it this summer and prove her wrong. freekitspool.com

Episode 330 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Trump's new 50% tariff threat to a brand new provincial party — and something strange happening in the Vancouver council speaker queue.

Here's what's inside:

50% Tariffs and BC's Exposure: Canada's back in Trump's crosshairs, and BC has more skin in the game than anyone: 13.7% of goods exposed, versus roughly 8% for Ontario and as little as 1% elsewhere. Saskatchewan and Alberta want to negotiate harder, Doug Ford wants to punish, Carney wants to bide his time. George asks the real question: how do you negotiate with someone you can't trust?

Eby's Zinger Goes Global: "If you're picking fights with Canadians, then you don't have a friend in the world." It landed on every cable news network in America — and got misattributed to the Prime Minister. George notes Eby has a comedian writing his one-liners, and credits the line anyway.

Polling the Relationship: Canadian sentiment toward the US has swung from strongly positive to deeply negative, while Americans still view Canadians favourably at around 80%. Meanwhile Adam Schiff wants his bourbon back on our shelves, and Jody has thoughts.

Small Business Is Hurting: George's clients are down 30, 40, even 50% year over year — a mix of Trump, AI, and post-COVID whiplash. His warning to Carney: the big global deals pay off in a decade, but people are struggling right now, and that's where the political damage will come from.

Centre BC Launches: Mike Bernier takes the helm of a new centrist party. George maps the two possible outcomes: it splits the right and gifts the NDP another term, or it does what Gordon Wilson did in 1991 and wipes out a party from the middle. Jody was in the room for that famous debate moment as a journalism student.

Dallas Brodie Recall Fails: The bar for recall is deliberately very high. George's take: that's what elections are for.

Bots and Scammers at City Hall: Council started interrogating online speakers about the 17 Villages plan after callers appeared to be phoning in from California, some barely speaking English. George warns the process itself could now be legally challenged — win or lose — and argues online speaking should be replaced by verified recorded submissions.

17 Villages, 300 Speakers: Four-to-six storeys with retail below, across 17 new walkable neighbourhoods. A week's worth of speakers and a decision landing right before the election.

Paid Trolls and the 67-Day Clock: Jody says her digging turned up accounts allegedly on retainer for mayoral candidates, aimed at intimidating her into silence. With 67 days to the municipal election, that's spending that has to be declared.

FreeKitsPool.com Is Live: The petition and the merch launch, thousands have already signed on, and every park board commissioner running in October is getting asked where they stand. Toronto extends pool hours to 11 PM on heat advisories. Vancouver is fighting about opening at all.

From the World Cup final to a yellow heat alert over an empty pool, this one's peak UnSpun.

Episode 329 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Ottawa's defence spending to Vancouver's village plan showdown and the Kits Pool fight goes fully public.

Here's what's inside:

Carney on Defence: The Prime Minister lays out why Canada is building its own defence capacity, from submarines to icebreakers, and partnering with the EU instead of leaning on the US. Jody says the comms are refreshingly spin-free. George keeps his skeptic hat on, noting how many former Vision Vancouver operatives now sit inside the Liberal machine.

The Gordie Howe Bridge Deal, Unspun: The headline says Canada caved. The details say otherwise: no revenue sharing until Canadians recoup the full cost of the bridge, then 15 years of net revenue directed into US-side infrastructure. Trump gets the win headline. Canada gets the crossing open.

Daylight Saving Ends: US Congress moves to kill the time change, and BC follows. Better winter sunsets, darker mornings, and no Armageddon.

Wildfires & the Same Old Failure: Northern Ontario burns while Toronto posts the worst air quality on the planet, and Pemberton gets uncomfortably close to home. George's point: we've been told exactly what to do by experts for years, forest management, sprinklers, water bombers, and governments only care when it's already burning.

Vancouver's Water Problem: Stage three restrictions all month, and we're still the biggest summer water consumers of any city in Canada. Population climbs 50,000 a year and the reserves don't.

Wash Your Produce: With US health surveillance gutted, a parasite is moving through 34 states. Another argument for buying local and Canadian and for actually rinsing your food.

17 New Villages: The Big Vote: Over 200 speakers signed up as council weighs creating 17 new neighbourhood villages. It's four-to-six storey gentle density — think Paris or Madrid, not 20-storey towers. Jody names the real problem: not the plan, but the missing trust after four-to-six storeys quietly became 21. George explains why councils can't fetter future councils, and why last-minute floor amendments pull the rug out from everyone who showed up to speak.

Free Kits Pool: A shirtless, speedo-clad press conference as pure media distraction and it worked. Meanwhile the pool reads "sold out" online 99% of the time, closes repeatedly through the day, and sits visibly empty. Jody's timestamped videos are pulling hundreds of thousands of views, the Park Board chair has gone from calling her irrelevant to thanking her for the attention, and something new is launching in days.

A Nod to Brad West: The Port Coquitlam mayor listens to his community and keeps free outdoor pools open all summer. Take notes.

From the Windsor border to the Kits Beach deck, this one's peak UnSpun.

Here's what's inside:

Carney in Saudi Arabia: The first Canadian PM visit in 26 years. George and Jody unpack the human rights baggage, the "two days of US trade" deal, and why diversifying away from America is just smart business.

NATO Chaos in Türkiye: Trump floats Greenland as US land (again), fumbles a "Islamic Republic of Japan" line that leaves everyone confused, and Canada locks the US out of a new submarine deal — plus a $4.9B, 1,600-vehicle army contract restricted to two Canadian firms only.

World Cup Vancouver Wrap-Up: Granville Street's patio takeover was a hit, but the city just extended it through Labour Day for $5 million. George pushes his years-old case for a permanent car-free Granville.

Gregor Robertson's Housing Irony: Canada's new federal housing minister is the former Vancouver mayor who promised to end homelessness and didn't. George and Jody dig into why that appointment is landing so badly.

Safe Injection Site Showdown: The Seymour Street site is trying to relocate a block and a half away, right by St. Paul's Hospital. George argues the "four pillars" approach only works if all four actually get funded — and right now, none of them are.

Parking Backlash: A Vote Vancouver campaign video exposes new residential parking meters, and George breaks down why parking is really just a hidden road tax.

Local Media Goes Dark: Sportsnet 650 and News 1130 both shut down. George and Jody reflect on what disappearing local journalism means for accountability.

What do you think: should Vancouver make Granville Street permanently car-free? Is the "four pillars" approach to addiction dead on arrival without full funding? And what's your take on Carney's trade-diversification strategy?

Episode 327 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck opens with a major federal-provincial announcement, digs into the housing bailout debate, and ends with a full-throated demand to fix Vancouver's broken pools.

Here's what's inside:

Carney's Massive BC Investment: The Prime Minister and Premier Eby unveil what one veteran reporter calls the largest federal investment in BC history. The northern tanker ban stays, but there's a pipeline path to the south coast, port expansion, and long-term gains pegged in the $80 billion range. George's take: a real win, but also a big loss for not opening the northern route.

What's Actually In It for BC: Beyond pipelines, the deal name-checks the Massey Tunnel, rail expansion, and transportation infrastructure to move goods to the expanded southern port. Compromise, or a payout to placate us for the lost opportunity?

The Condo Bailout Backlash: Developers say nobody consulted them on the plan to buy up empty condos. George argues buying finished units adds no long-term housing and makes the case for a UK-style rent-to-own model that builds equity instead.

The Ownership Question: Why renting offers no stability, how the UK guarantees a share of affordable homes in every new development, and why owning matters for retirement and passing something on to your kids.

Nurses Give Strike Notice: The "Me Too" clause, the limits of the taxpayer wallet, and why teachers and nurses are harder jobs than ever.

World Cup Fever & the $789M Question: Canada versus Morocco looms, Jack Poole Plaza lights up, and the crew makes the case for investing in youth sport and the arts the way we invested ahead of the 2010 Olympics.

The Kits Pool Outrage: Jody's viral campaign hits 400,000 views. With the aquatic centre closing before the new pool opens, downtown loses its year-round option entirely. She floats an FOI on Park Board communications and a plan to interview every commissioner candidate before the 2026 election.

📍 From a landmark BC deal to the pools we keep breaking, Episode 327 is classic UnSpun. 💬

Episode 326 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Ottawa's condo bailout to Vancouver's emergency-room crisis to City Hall's lame-duck chaos, with the Kits Pool saga still very much alive.

Here's what's inside:

🏙️ The Condo "Bailout": Ottawa moves to buy up unsold condo stock as the market deflates. Is this housing policy or a developer rescue? George argues the real fix is funding the homes five years out, not buying the units already sitting empty and he warns the optics get ugly fast when the government starts buying from donors.

🏘️ What Killed the Market: Frances Bula and Gregor Robertson weigh in, but Jody and George break down the actual mechanics: deflated valuations, frozen listings, and changed immigration and foreign-student numbers loosening Vancouver's rental crunch for the first time in years.

🚢 Dredging Burrard Inlet: Tankers off the twin pipeline can only fill to 80% because the water's too shallow under the Second Narrows. Approval to dredge has reportedly cleared all levels with almost no protest or coverage. Why so quiet?

🏥 48-Hour ER Waits: Canadians are now being told to brace for up to two days waiting for a bed. George and Jody dig into burnout, repeat-visit pressure, e-scooter brain injuries, and why St. Paul's should carve out an urgent-care alternative to the ER.

🏛️ Council's Motion Dump: With the term basically over until the October election, Vancouver councillors are stacking the agenda with sprawling, consultant-written motions. George calls it what it is: pre-election profile-building that buries staff in busywork.

🗳️ Municipal Shake-Up Ahead: New mayors likely in Richmond, Coquitlam and beyond. So why is UBCM scheduled two weeks before voters go to the polls?

🤝 CUSMA Deadline: With the July 1 review looming, Carney draws a line: a good deal or no deal, and a rollover beats a worse agreement.

🏊 Kits Pool, Still Empty: Capacity of 1,800, sold out online, 400 people actually showing up. Jody says there's no lifeguard shortage, full stop and she's filming the empty deck every single day.

📍 From condo economics to a peeling Reflecting Pool guarded by the National Guard, this one's peak UnSpun.

This week on UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck, Jody returns from Sicily jet-lagged and ready to go — just in time for FIFA World Cup madness, Vancouver's long-overdue Granville Street moment, and a border crossing story that'll make your blood pressure spike.

Here's what's inside:

⚽ Canada's World Cup Moment: Team Canada wins 6-0 in a historic performance. First non-European or South American team to score five-plus goals in a single World Cup game. The hat trick? Not bad company — only Lionel Messi has matched it this tournament.

🚶 Granville Street Glows Up: George called it 16 years ago: pedestrianize Granville. Two motions lost. Now with FIFA, the city finally got a taste of what it could be — and Vancouver loved it. Rebecca Bligh is running with it. Will this time be different?

🏗️ Carney Comes to BC: The PM announces a 1.6 billion federal-provincial housing partnership, 600 million for health infrastructure, Surrey-Langley SkyTrain funding, and fast-tracked permitting reform. Build don't announce, says George.

🌊 Massey Tunnel, Still Waiting: A bike lane nobody will use, no rapid transit to the ferry, and Highway 99 still a bottleneck. The bridge that could have been open by now. Classic BC.

📉 Eby's Polling Collapse: The NDP Premier hits historically low approval numbers. Brad West circling. Caucus restless. Could a snap election be coming?

🚔 Surrey Police Board Chaos: Chief Norm Lapinsky fired in a backroom move. Board members walking out, journalists stonewalled, a gag order incoming. And Doug McCallum might just be the beneficiary.

💧 Water Restrictions vs. Reality: No snowpack, no rain, phase three restrictions — and Metro Vancouver still has no long-term plan. George wants answers. Jody wants her pool open. 🏊 Aquatic Centre Update: Class action verdict pending. A parking lot sits empty fifty feet from the pool they want to close. The Park Board remains the Park Board.

🇺🇸 Border Stress & Noem's New Gig: Jody's Nexus run turns into a full ICE-dog-sniff ordeal at the Peace Arch. And Kristi Noem — yes, the puppy killer — is now consulting for a BC mining company.

📍 From Granville Street piazzas to federal housing billions to a very stressful border crossing, Episode 325 is peak Vancouver summer politics.

A special urgent episode of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck recorded the morning after BC Conservatives chose their new leader in a razor-thin vote.

Here's what's inside:

Kerry-Lynn Findlay Wins by 1%: The former MP edges out the competition 51-49 on a weighted ballot in the fourth round. George breaks down how momentum in the final week decided it all.

Who Is the New BC Conservative Leader?: A right-of-centre federal Conservative MP now leads the provincial party. Jody and George unpack what that means for the mushy middle in the Lower Mainland, and whether she can win it.

NDP's Opportunity or Trap?: With Findlay positioned further right, does Premier Eby have room to move toward the centre? Or does his own record prevent it?

The Splinter Problem: Six independents and breakaway parties are still out there. Can Findlay reunite them? George draws the parallel to Gordon Campbell's iron caucus discipline.

Brad West's Cryptic Tweet: Timed right after the leadership result, the Port Coquitlam mayor posts something oddly broad about divisiveness in BC politics. George and Mo Amir both noticed it.

Kits Pool, Still Dry: Park Board votes Monday night on lifting all restrictions at Kits Pool. Jody goes off. George says, "It's June, for God's sakes."

A short, sharp episode that cuts right to the heart of where BC provincial politics goes next.

On Episode 323 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck covers Carney’s “energy superpower” pitch in New York, Wab Kinew’s viral Danielle Smith comments, Vancouver’s FIFA cleanup, and why Kits Pool is still empty heading into summer.

Here's what's inside:

Carney Takes Canada Global: The Prime Minister lands in Manhattan to pitch Canada as an energy superpower. 56 critical mineral agreements, a doubling of the electricity grid, an LNG deal with Germany, and increased uranium production.

George and Jody unpack what it means to finally move on diversifying trade away from the US. Alberta's Separation Referendum: Danielle Smith pushes forward with her referendum threat while Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew publicly calls her out in a now-viral moment. Jody and George debate whether it's a legitimate grievance or a political stick — and whether it's already working.

The John Horgan Dam: Site C gets a new name and Christy Clark defends it. George and Jody weigh in on rewarding politicians who change their minds versus honouring the ones who fought against the very things they later championed.

Yaletown Overdose Prevention Site Cancelled: The province pulls the plug on a planned overdose prevention site near downtown Vancouver. George (full disclosure: a neighbourhood resident) explains why residents don't trust the government's assurances it won't resurface elsewhere.

FIFA World Cup Comes to Vancouver: Two weeks out, taxpayer complaints are mounting, conventions have been cancelled all summer, and hotel revenues are being hit. But George and Jody agree: you're in it, so you'd better embrace it. The PNE Fan Zone and the Science World wrap look spectacular.

Cleaning Up Vancouver: FIFA's forcing a citywide cleanup that residents have been asking for years.

George's take: take the budget being spent right now, multiply it across twelve months, and that's what it actually costs to maintain a clean city. Make it permanent.

Team Canada Beats the US at the IIHF Worlds: Canada ousts the Americans in the semifinal. George and Jody take a moment.

Stephen Colbert's Final Show & What Comes Next: 6.7 million viewers for the finale, then Byron Allen buys the time slot with Comics Unleashed. George breaks down the economics of cheap panel TV versus the legacy late-night model.

US Chaos Roundup: A UFC fight planned in front of the White House. War with Iran. Five-dollar gas. And a Texas Senate nominee who George says raises serious questions about the Republican base's judgment. Democrats still can't define who they are. Kits Pool Watch: Still empty. Still not open. Jody is not letting this go.

💬 Tell us in the comments: Is Carney's energy superpower vision realistic? Should Vancouver make the FIFA cleanup permanent? And seriously — when is Kits Pool opening?
