Summary

May 8, 2026 - Premier David Eby and the BC NDP are reeling after a new poll that shows a steep decline in both government approval and personal popularity for the premier. What does it mean for BC's political dynamic? Plus, DRIPA and the Cowichan Nation case hit the floor of the House of Commons, adding a federal lense to the biggest issue in provincial politics today. And, MLAs stay up late debating FOI changes in a rare all-night sitting. Plus - in audio extras - Political Plays of the Week! Host Rob Shaw is joined by Jeff Ferrier, Jillian Oliver and Angelo Isidorou. Brought to you by Uber Canada.
