Recorded live at MJBizCon 2025, this episode of Cannab!s Tech Talks features host Mary Jane Gibson in conversation with Jeff Heeren and Josh Early of Greenway Herbal. Sponsored by SHOPLINE in association with ICBC, the discussion cuts straight to two areas where cannab!s operations are evolving fast: facility safety and product efficacy. The conversation centers on CannaGuard Pro, a sodium chloride-based disinfectant designed to replace traditional bleach systems without the toxic exposure or operational downtime. It's a shift that could materially change how cultivation facilities handle sanitation, labor safety, and turnaround times.WEBSITE: https://cannatechtoday.com/Make sure to follow our other social media platforms to stay up-to-date on all things Cannabis & Tech Today.https://twitter.com/cannatechtodayhttps://www.facebook.com/CannaTechTodayhttps://www.instagram.com/cannatechtoday

In Episode 456 of Driving Law, Kyla Lee takes a closer look at road safety in British Columbia and the risks facing different types of road users. Kyla discusses the recent spike in motorcycle fatalities across the province, what the statistics do - and don't - tell us about road safety, and why fluctuations in collision numbers are often more complicated than they appear. She also examines a North Vancouver incident involving a 12-year-old on an e-scooter, a tragic ATV rollover involving children, and the legal responsibilities that come with operating motorized vehicles. The episode also explores ICBC's move to online knowledge testing and the elimination of the second road test, raising questions about public safety, driver training, and whether cost savings are being prioritized over proper scrutiny of new drivers. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features an Australian woman allegedly driving at five times the legal alcohol limit while repeatedly crashing into vehicles in a grocery store parking lot.

Burnaby is implementing sweeping restrictions around where people can ride e-scooters. Should Vancouver follow suit? The FIFA World Cup is just 2 weeks away, and yet ticket sales to games and events have been lackluster to say the least. We hear an harrowing account of one woman's fight against ICBC's iron-clad no-fault insurance policy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Burnaby has passed new bylaws significantly restricting where e-scooters can be ridden, making them illegal on many major roads and in city parks unless specific infrastructure exists. Should other parts of BC follow suit? The City of Surrey is easing enforcement against some illegal construction projects through a new one-year pilot program that shifts toward a more compliance-based approach. New data from ICBC reveals a changing picture of BC's roads, showing fewer injury crashes than before the pandemic, a major drop in auto crime, and a growing shift toward hybrid vehicles over fully electric cars.

Ep 601 - ICBC: A Unique Insurance Provider Guest: Jason McDaniel, CEO of ICBC By Stuart McNish “The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia [ICBC] is a unique auto insurance provider,” says Jason McDaniel, the President and CEO of ICBC. “We are the only organization that supplies mandatory basic coverage to all vehicles.” That blanket coverage positions ICBC to act as much more than just an insurance provider. “Our mandate includes improving motoring safety in the province through the CounterAttack roadblocks, intersection improvements, the introduction of seatbelt, and baby seats law,” continues McDaniel.   Created in 1973 under the government of Dave Barrett, the Crown Corporation was a political hot-button issue. In the 1980s, Social Credit Party leader Bill Bennett campaigned on abolishing the insurance company. Gordon Campbell also campaigned to abolish ICBC. Neither shut down the corporation; however, Campbell's government changed the rules to allow competition on optional insurance.   In May of 2021, ICBC announced its “Enhanced Care” no-fault insurance system. The program was presented as a way of removing litigation from insurance claims, speeding up payment of compensation, and it changed the settlement equation.   We invited Jason McDaniel, the President and CEO of ICBC, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about delivering appropriate auto insurance, improving road safety, and financial stability to the Crown Corporation.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

China will roll out a fresh round of capital injections into its largest State-owned commercial banks through the issuance of special treasury bonds, a move set to significantly boost their lending capacity and strengthen support for the real economy.中国将通过发行特别国债，对其最大的国有商业银行实施新一轮注资。此举将显著提升银行的放贷能力，增强对实体经济的支持力度。According to the Ministry of Finance, auctions for five-year and seven-year special treasury bonds — used to inject capital into central financial institutions — are scheduled for May 22 and June 12, marking the launch of a second round of targeted capital replenishment for major State lenders.据财政部消息，用于向中央金融机构注资的五年期和七年期特别国债将于5月22日和6月12日发行。这标志着针对大型国有银行的第二轮定向资本补充正式启动。In this round, the ministry plans to issue 300 billion yuan ($43.92 billion) in special treasury bonds to bolster the banks' core tier 1 capital. The injection is expected to enhance credit expansion and underscores a more proactive fiscal policy stance.在本轮注资中，财政部计划发行3000亿元人民币（约合439.2亿美元）的特别国债，以充实银行的核心一级资本。此次注资有望促进信贷扩张，并体现出更加积极的财政政策立场。Last year, the ministry issued the first batch of special treasury bonds totaling 500 billion yuan to support the recapitalization of Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications and Postal Savings Bank of China. These four banks raised a combined total of 520 billion yuan, with their core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios increasing by 0.86,0.48, 1.28 and 1.51 percentage points, respectively.去年，财政部发行了首批5000亿元特别国债，用于支持中国银行、中国建设银行、交通银行和中国邮政储蓄银行的资本补充。这四家银行合计募集资金5200亿元，核心一级资本充足率分别提升了0.86、0.48、1.28和1.51个百分点。The market generally expects Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China to be the main recipients of the second round of capital injections.市场普遍预期，中国工商银行和中国农业银行将成为第二轮注资的主要对象。China International Capital Corp estimates that the 300 billion yuan injection could leverage roughly 4 trillion yuan in asset expansion, boosting the banks' direct lending and capacity for acquisitions, while strongly supporting the real economy and helping prevent financial risks. The move is expected to raise the two banks' core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios by about 0.6 percentage points on average, CICC said.中金公司预计，3000亿元注资有望撬动约4万亿元的资产扩张，增强银行的直接放贷能力和并购能力，同时有力支持实体经济并助力防范金融风险。中金公司表示，此举预计将使两家银行的核心一级资本充足率平均提升约0.6个百分点。According to the large State-owned commercial banks' first quarter reports of 2026, as of March 31, the core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios of ICBC, CCB, ABC, BOC, BOCOM and PSBC stood at 13.26 percent, 14.26 percent, 10.8 percent, 12.18 percent, 11.25 percent and 10.18 percent, respectively, all of which met regulatory requirements. Among them, ICBC and ABC saw declines of 0.63 and 0.43 percentage points from the end of the first quarter of 2025, while the other four banks recorded increases.六大国有银行2026年一季报显示，截至3月31日，工商银行、建设银行、农业银行、中国银行、交通银行、邮储银行的核心一级资本充足率分别为13.26%、14.26%、10.8%、12.18%、11.25%和10.18%，均满足监管要求。其中，工商银行和农业银行较2025年一季度末分别下降0.63和0.43个百分点，其余四家银行则有所上升。Zeng Gang, chief expert and director of the Shanghai Institution for Finance and Development, said the core objective of this round of capital injection is to enhance the long-term sustainable development capacity of large State-owned commercial banks. The move will significantly expand their lending capacity through leverage effects and provide ample support for pro-growth policies.上海金融与发展实验室主任、首席专家曾刚表示，本轮注资的核心目标是增强大型国有商业银行的长期可持续发展能力。此举将通过杠杆效应显著扩大银行的放贷能力，为稳增长政策提供有力支持。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Orient Golden Credit Rating International, said that amid adjustments in the real estate market and continued interest rate cuts by China's central bank, net interest margins of commercial banks, especially large State-owned lenders, have narrowed rapidly since 2023. This has weakened their ability to replenish capital through retained earnings, making external capital injections necessary to underpin stable operations.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司首席宏观分析师王青表示，在房地产市场调整和央行持续降息的背景下，商业银行尤其是大型国有银行的净息差自2023年以来迅速收窄。这削弱了银行通过留存收益补充资本的能力，需要通过外部注资来支撑其稳健经营。Wang estimates that a combined capital injection of 800 billion yuan could underpin 6 trillion to 7 trillion yuan in new lending — equivalent to about 37 to 43 percent of China's new yuan loans in 2025.王青预计，合计8000亿元的资本注入可撬动6万亿至7万亿元的新增贷款，相当于中国2025年新增人民币贷款的约37%至43%。He said the move would bolster the banks' capacity to absorb risks and strengthen the long-term resilience of the financial system. The resulting increase in lending capacity would also reinforce the role of large banks as the mainstay of financing for the real economy, particularly by channeling more funds into key national strategies, technological innovation, small and micro enterprises, and other priority or weak sectors of the economy.他表示，此举将增强银行的风险吸收能力，强化金融体系的长期韧性。随之而来的放贷能力提升，将进一步巩固大型银行作为实体经济融资主渠道的作用，特别是引导更多资金流向国家重大战略、科技创新、小微企业以及其他重点领域和薄弱环节。The measure also highlights stronger coordination between fiscal and monetary policies, signaling a more proactive fiscal stance while laying the groundwork for further monetary easing, Wang added.王青还表示，此次注资还凸显了财政政策与货币政策之间更强的协调性，在为进一步货币宽松奠定基础的同时，释放出更加积极的财政政策信号。roll out /rəʊl aʊt/推出，实施capital injection /ˈkæpɪtəl ɪnˈdʒekʃən/注资net interest margins /net ˈɪntrəst ˈmɑːdʒɪnz/净息差underpin /ˌʌndəˈpɪn/支撑，撬动equivalent to /ɪˈkwɪvələnt tuː/相当于mainstay /ˈmeɪnsteɪ/主体，中流砥柱channeling /ˈtʃænəlɪŋ/引导，输送

What happens when a cannabis manufacturer decides to challenge the industry's biggest problem: products that are overpriced and underdosed? In this episode sponsored by SHOPLINE in association with ICBC and hosted by Mary Jane Gibson on the MJBizCon 2025 show floor, Carl Clouse and Preston Jackson of Bellasoft CBD explain how their Fresno operation expanded from a 500-square-foot startup to a 3,500-square-foot manufacturing facility, while partnering with brands like Dr. Zodiac to produce federally compliant hemp-derived THCA products that can ship directly to consumers in 38 states.WEBSITE: https://cannatechtoday.com/Make sure to follow our other social media platforms to stay up-to-date on all things Cannabis & Tech Today.https://twitter.com/cannatechtodayhttps://www.facebook.com/CannaTechTodayhttps://www.instagram.com/cannatechtoday

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss a major Court of Appeal decision involving ICBC hit-and-run claims and whether victims must investigate crashes themselves in order to obtain compensation. The court ultimately rejected the idea that injured drivers should conduct their own investigations when police efforts have already failed to identify a suspect. They also examine a judicial review involving a roadside breath test refusal and the difficulties drivers face challenging Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. The discussion highlights how credibility assessments and vague roadside statements can be used to uphold driving prohibitions, raising broader concerns about fairness in the system. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features an unbelievable police pursuit where a cruiser ends up high-centered on a trailer before another officer attempts a PIT maneuver. Check out the "Lawyer Told Me Not To Talk To You" T-shirts and hoodies at Lawyertoldme.com and "Sit Still Jackson" at sitstilljackson.com.

A stolen truck blows a stop sign at 4 a.m., the driver vanishes into the dark, and ICBC says the injured victims didn't take “all reasonable steps” to find who hit them. We dig into the Court of Appeal's reversal and why the phrase reasonable must mean proportionate to the facts, not an endless checklist of posters, door knocks, and guesswork. When police have already run dog tracks, canvassed cameras, interviewed witnesses, and done forensics, what more would actually move the needle—and when does “try harder” become obviously futile?From there, we shift to a second legal fault line: Aboriginal title and private property in the Cowichan Tribes litigation. A corporate landowner pushes to reopen the case, arguing they should be heard on how title findings could affect fee simple land. The judge draws a crucial line: Cowichan Tribes didn't say private property would never be affected; they said the effect wasn't being decided in this case. That single nuance recasts public assurances like “not at stake” into “not yet,” raising hard questions about notice, delay, and what thousands of owners reasonably knew—or didn't know—over the years.Together, these stories show how outcomes hinge on precise language and practical context. For crash victims, the ruling tempers ICBC's strict stance and acknowledges the real value of a thorough police investigation. For property owners, it underscores that future proceedings may still test the security of fee simple, and that timely, clear notice matters. If you care about no‑fault insurance, hit‑and‑run claims, Aboriginal title, or the reliability of political promises, this conversation offers clarity, caution, and concrete takeaways.

The B.C. government is considering changes to the province's graduated driver's licensing program next year to eliminate the second road test to get a full Class 5 licence. That means new drivers would not need to take a second road test to get rid of their 'N' decal. B.C. Conservative and Richmond Centre MLA Hon Chan, the opposition critic for ICBC, says eliminating the second test would make roads less safe. He joins the show alongside Vision Zero volunteer Mihai Cirstea.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down Canada's new bail reform legislation and how it quietly changes the Criminal Code to bring back discretionary driving prohibitions in serious offences like criminal negligence and manslaughter. They explain what this means for drivers, defence lawyers, and why the timing of a plea could make a difference. Kyla also addresses controversy around ICBC's Indigenous driver support hotline — pushing back on racist commentary and reminding listeners that reconciliation and accessibility still matter in the justice system. Finally, the Ridiculous Drivers of the Week include a Lamborghini driver speeding through winter without proper tires, and a Halifax woman who stole a fire truck and somehow didn't crash it. Listen now for sharp legal analysis, real-world driving law insights, and a little humour along the way.

According to ICBC data, cars turning right on red lights are three times more likely to cause a pedestrian collision than other actions at intersections. Former city planner Sandy James and transportation engineer Souzan Sadaat join the show to break down the debate on whether or not cities should do away with right turns on red.

Fresh off a court appearance, Kyla and Paul cover BC's October 1 snow-tire rule and how routine compliance stops can lawfully lead to mandatory breath demands, then dig into the compounding chaos from ongoing job action: IRP hearings cancelled or pushed without consultation, a court petition filed and served, and a tentative hardship path for temporary licences while the case waits on tribunal reasons. They flag new confusion over where to pay tickets after ICBC reportedly stopped accepting payments, the ripple effects of a Canada Post strike on prohibition notices, licence and insurance renewals, and traffic-court scheduling, plus potential knock-on disruptions from sympathy actions like BC Ferries. To close out spooky season, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a real-life “phantom” — the helmeted F1 look-alike finally nabbed in his driveway after years of blasting along Czech highways.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko dissect three important developments in driving law and public accountability in BC. They begin with a major delay in the ICBC double billing class action, where a technical objection from the provincial government—challenging the scope of the claim based on how “medical practitioners” was defined—has thrown the case off course. Kyla and Paul criticize the government's interference, noting how procedural nitpicking is undermining access to justice and stalling compensation for affected individuals. Next, breaking news hits mid-recording: the BC Court of Appeal has released a decision upholding an acquittal in a red-light fatality case involving a dangerous driving charge. Paul and Kyla unpack how the Court's ruling reaffirms that a momentary lapse in attention—without more—is not enough to meet the legal standard for dangerous driving. The decision marks an important pushback against the expanding scope of criminal liability in driving cases. Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a junk removal employee caught on camera illegally dumping hazardous waste in the woods—a repeat offence in the Lower Mainland. While the company has since fired the employee, Paul and Kyla reflect on what this says about trust, accountability, and regulation in private services.

What happens when legal formulas, charge approval standards, and competing legitimate needs collide with real human lives? Today's deep dive examines three significant cases that reveal the profound human impact of our justice systems.The Hockey Canada sexual assault trial verdict brings crucial lessons about the presumption of innocence and the value of detailed judicial reasoning. Unlike jury trials that provide no explanation, this judge-alone trial delivered a comprehensive analysis of why all the accused were acquitted. The judge methodically explained finding the complainant neither credible nor reliable, citing multiple conflicting statements and video evidence contradicting later allegations. This case powerfully demonstrates why we cannot start from assumptions of guilt when allegations are made, regardless of how emotionally charged the circumstances might be.Meanwhile, a shocking Civil Resolution Tribunal decision exposes the harsh reality of ICBC's no-fault insurance system. A driver suffering permanent vision impairment after being rear-ended received zero compensation because his "floating pink blob" injury—though permanent and debilitating—didn't fit neatly into the mandatory mathematical formula. This case starkly illustrates how dehumanizing rigid regulatory systems can be when they fail to account for individual circumstances. Those ICBC rebates come at a steep cost: significantly diminished rights for accident victims.Finally, a Songhees Nation land dispute reveals painful competing needs. Elderly mobile home residents face eviction and potential homelessness as the Nation reclaims land to address severe housing shortages for its members. Despite decades of paying property taxes, the court found these residents have no special protections since provincial mobile home regulations don't apply on reserve lands. Both sides have legitimate needs, yet our legal framework offers no elegant solution.These cases remind us that behind every legal decision are real people facing life-altering consequences. How do we balance competing rights? When should human judgment override mathematical formulas? What protections should our justice systems provide? Listen now to explore these essential questions about justice in our communities.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.
