About this episode
Next week, join us at The Belmont in Vancouver for our episode 100 live show at 7pm on August 23. RSVP at politicoast.eventbrite.com Fires, statues and Conservatives - with political scientist Stewart Prest. BC is on fire, again. We break down whether this is the new normal and how we can derive some hope for better politics in an emergency. Then we get into the statue debate set off in Victoria where the city council decided quickly to remove a statue of Canada's first Prime Minister John A MacDonald from outside city hall. At the same time Justin Trudeau is reportedly discussing creating a new statutory holiday for Reconciliation. For our main segment, we look at the latest eruption between Maxime Bernier and Andrew Scheer, as well as a preview of the Conservative Party Convention. It looks like the nativist and anti-immigrant sentiments are picking up in the party and social issues are coming back to the fore. Plus our usual quick takes.
