thePodcast: Rustad reflects on first post-election Legislative session

For the week of May 25, 2025

The first post-election session of the British Columbia Legislature closes May 29.

Premier David Eby’s NDP took advantage of Donald Trump’s tariffs to divert attention from the record $10 billion deficit budget. The governing party then used the trade war as an excuse to table legislation aimed at expanding the cabinet’s power.

John Rustad, leader of the Conservative opposition, joins host Bob Mackin to look back and look ahead. Is Eby’s endgame to call an early election?

As usual, Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and the Virtual Nanaimo Bar.
