Summary
May 1, 2026 - The beautiful game of football gets booted through the political pitch, as the government faces questions about how it can save the Vancouver Whitecaps and why it won't provide the security costs of the FIFA World Cup games. Plus, should the provincial and federal governments move to ban social media for kids? And, will BC nurses actually strike? In our audio podcast extras, we look at John Rustad's French vacation and the implications for the NDP's slim majority government. Plus, our political plays of the week! Host Rob Shaw is joined by Mike McKinnon, Jillian Oliver and Angelo Isidorou. Brought to you by Uber Canada.
