We pay a visit to Burnaby South — Jagmeet Singh's riding — as the NDP falls to a distant third in the polls.

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that British Columbia can bring forward a class-action lawsuit against pharmaceutical providers for harms caused by opioids on behalf of other provinces, territories and the federal government. We ask our audience to share their thoughts and speak to former Vancouver mayor Kennedy Stewart. Then we explore that annual staple: Hallmark Christmas movies with actors Omari Newton and Michelle Harrison.

Last year the Canadian Province of British Columbia, launched a landmark three year pilot programme on drug decriminalisation. For a number of years now communities across Canada have been facing their own opioid crisis, as drugs like fentanyl become more easily available. Vancouver in British Columbia, whilst been one of those places always at the forefront of drug policy change, has seen an explosion in overdose deaths due to toxic drugs in recent years. So the city readily adopted the decriminalisation programme as a measure to try and help reduce the death rates. But now just over a year since its implementation, that pilot programme has been scaled back, and it now means that people found with drugs on their person in public places can be arrested again. So, on this week's Inquiry, ‘Can Canada overcome its drug overdose crisis?' Contributors: Dr. Alexander Caudarella, CEO Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, Ottawa, Canada.

Kennedy Stewart is a former federal NDP MP and was mayor of Vancouver from 2018 to 2022. In his new book, Decrim: How We Decriminalized Drugs in British Columbia, he writes about how he worked with the federal government — and, eventually, with a provincial NDP government he saw as far less cooperative — to decriminalize simple possession of street drugs in British Columbia. He joins Paul to talk about that experience, as the national conversation around drug policy heats up.

Who is an MP's real boss? Their party leader? Canadians? Themselves?

Kennedy Stewart served as the 40th mayor of Vancouver from 2018 to 2022.

Would you ever run for political office? For many of us, “politician” is the last job title we'd ever consider. What is it that drives people to run for political office? In this episode we talk to former MPs from across Canada. They each have a unique journey that brought them to Ottawa to serve their communities. For some, federal politics was a childhood dream – for others, something they had never thought to aspire to. Some were chosen by their parties, and some put their own hats in the ring. Plus, background on the nominations process that determines our electoral candidates in the first place.THIS EPISODE FEATURES: Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Liberal, Winnipeg Centre, (2015-2019)Kennedy Stewart, NDP, Burnaby South, (2011-2018)Romeo Saganash, NDP, Abitibi-Baie James-Nunavik-Eeyou, (2011-2019) - Interviews for Humans of the House were conducted in the summer of 2022 and the show was launched in March 2023.

Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more.This week, Jody and George get explicit with their words. But that seems to be going around in politics these days. Then it's on to rumours of Vancouver's oldest political party announcing a new leader to replace the recently departed John Coupar. That is really going to mess up the plans of some of the mayoral candidates who thought the NPA vote would go to them. Meanwhile, sitting mayor, Kennedy Stewart, is sitting pretty in a likely easy victory for him because the split on the right side of the political spectrum is between four people, and he is all on his own on the let. Over in Victoria, heads rolled in the BC Liberal caucus as one member went one step too far in the climate change denial file and leader Kevin Falcon gave the big boot to the caucus culprit. And in Healthcare, Minister Adrian Dix is predicting a dire fall ahead for all of us as hospitals deal with the potential influx of Covid patients and regular flu patients while also trying to operate with an ever-depleted system in need of an overhaul that does not seem to be coming.
