Ep 104: All smoke and no stores

The Conservatives gain a new MP through a surprise floor crossing from the Liberals. BC is going to have one single cannabis store open on October 17 but you’ll have to drive to Kamloops to visit it.

But first, we respond to feedback around Doug Ford’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause (and why it’s off the table again).

Plus quick takes on Senator Larry Campbell’s hot water, tent cities in the Capital Region, racists exploiting a murder in Burnaby and the finance committee consultation.
