About this episode
Mayor Ken Sim has been a major booster of the World Cup coming to Vancouver. But new Angus Reid polling shows that not all residents are fully on-board. The mayor sits down with Stephen Quinn to make his case for what he's calling the biggest sports event, ever. And municipal affairs reporter Justin McElroy discusses the costs, economic impact and disruptions associated with the event.
