07 | What is Canada’s Place in the World? (w/ Hon. James Moore, Conservative Party of Canada)

Oh Canada – what has happened to our reputation? On election night of 2015, Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau proclaimed, “Canada is back!” Nine years later, Canada is not back; since then its reputation has deteriorated.

No question: we used to punch above our weight when our beloved country was listened to with respect at the United Nations and around the world. Not so much anymore.

So who are we now? What is Canada’s place in the world? Do we have influence?

Join Carole Taylor and the Hon. James Moore as they examine the root causes of Canada’s sinking reputation.

09 | Vancouver’s Housing Conundrum (w/ Bob Rennie)

In this edition of Journal, we are going to jump into the fray and take a close look at the blizzard of housing announcements – 62 at last count, coming from all levels of government in this past year. Many of them promise affordable housing.

Finally, our politicians have noticed the angst in our community about the cost of housing, rising mortgage rates, the lack of housing options – but at the same time, the fear of density.

The important question is, besides all of the photo-ops, will these initiatives make a difference? Will Vancouver ever be affordable, or is that just a pipedream?

Join Carole Taylor and Bob Rennie in a discussion about Vancouver’s housing conundrum.
