On today's show:
1) Last year’s heat dome had a long lasting impact on our province. We lost cities like Lytton due to wildfires. More and more will come as the heat goes up. So how is the province going to combat this? The Hon. Katrine Conroy, BC Minister of Forests, talks to us

Was this a good idea for the federal government to pass this bill after what happened in Buffalo, Uvalde and Tulsa this year? Kash Heed is the former BC Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
