‘It is absolutely an act of compassion,' says Leonard Krog, the mayor of Nanaimo about the use of involuntary care to deal with B.C.'s mental health crisis — but some experts are worried that forcing someone into treatment is a violation of their rights. Matt Galloway speaks with Mayor Krog; Jonny Morris, the CEO of the B.C. Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association; and Dr. Shimi Kang, a psychiatrist with Future Ready Minds for their insight about how to provide care for mental health while protecting public safety — as Premier David Eby works to review the province's mental health legislation following the deadly Lapu-Lapu Day festival.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul review two BC Supreme Court cases that highlight the risks of representing yourself in traffic court. First, they unpack the failed appeal of a driver who claimed he was interacting with his truck's console—not a phone—when ticketed for distracted driving, and how a lack of courtroom experience undermined his defence. Then, they analyze a judicial review involving a rejected late dispute application—complete with a single stamped reason: “No arguable defence”—and why that was upheld despite arguments about inadequate reasoning. Later in the episode, Erik Magraken delivers a pointed Magraken Moment on the lack of accountability for ICBC and the BC government in the aftermath of the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy. He argues that victims are being denied justice under BC's no-fault system while Premier David Eby publicly vilifies the accused. Kyla and Paul break down the political and legal consequences, including how no-fault laws strip victims of their right to compensation and access to court.

Premier David Eby's partial retreat on the Economic Stabilization Tariff Response Act marks a significant moment in BC's response to US tariff threats. While the government has agreed to remove Part 4 of Bill 7—the section granting powers to amend legislation without parliamentary approval—legal expert Michael Mulligan reveals why serious concerns remain.The bill still contains provisions allowing the government to unilaterally cancel contracts, change procurement practices, and impose taxes without legislative debate. Particularly troubling is language that prevents affected parties from seeking judicial review of government actions—a fundamental protection in democratic systems. "Protection against legal proceedings" suggests the government wants to shield itself from court challenges, raising serious questions about accountability.Mulligan's analysis cuts to the heart of democratic governance: should we empower executives with unilateral authority, even during international disputes? He draws a striking parallel between the chaos of Trump's tariff decisions and the risks of BC's proposed response: "Left-wing populism is not a good response to right-wing populism." The comparison to Ontario Premier Doug Ford's hasty electricity tariff—quickly announced, then withdrawn—serves as a cautionary tale about reactive governance without deliberation.The remaining sections of Bill 7 grant more extensive powers than were used during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite facing only economic threats rather than a public health emergency. As Mulligan notes, "We are not at war with the United States." Want to understand the delicate balance between government authority and democratic safeguards? Listen to this essential breakdown of how emergency powers can fundamentally reshape governance when we're not looking closely enough.Follow this link for links to the legislation discussed.

It's been another wild and wacky week in civic politics in New Westminster - and the podcast captures it all! The discussion starts off with the on again, off again debate regarding the rewilding pilot project on the 5th St boulevard in the lovely Queen's Park neighbourhood. A few months ago the green manicured boulevard was ripped up as part of the City's biodiversity strategy. A number of mature holly trees were also cut down. In its place came a lot of mulch, rose bushes, massive logs, blueberry plants and few smallish trees. The 'rewilding' and 'naturalizing' pilot project didn't go over that well with the local residents who live adjacent to the boulevard. They raised a stink with city hall and last week the entire mulch field, logs and bushes were removed. Now it appears this will all be replaced with wild grass and flowers - but not if local residents have their way. Have you heard of BridgeNet? If you live in New West and pay taxes, you own it. A while back a question was asked in Council regarding how long it would take before BridgeNet actually broke even. This week we learned that it will not be until 2038 before BridgeNet breaks even. Should the City even be in the business of running something like BridgeNet? The infamous 3.5% Climate Action Levy (what many refer to in New West as our own version of the provincial and federal carbon tax) is back up for debate again as part of the 2026 budget. Now that PM Mark Carney and Premier David Eby have abandoned their failed experiments with the consumer carbon tax, will New West finally abandon its Climate Action Levy being charged on every single electrical bill? Do we need to assess and improve the way we communicate and consult with local residents and businesses in New West? A motion coming to council next month is seeking to do just that. Canucks on Columbia won't be coming to New West in 2025, but what about next year?The staff at Metro Vancouver were in the council chambers last week talking about their new Liquid Wastewater Management Plan. Council ended up not endorsing the plan. Has this set a precedent for other cities? Will we ever get answers to why the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant went so much overbudget?

With just a few weeks to go before the writ drop, the next election in British Columbia was thrown on its head Wednesday when Kevin Falcon announced he was withdrawing B.C. United from the race — and endorsing John Rustad's B.C. Conservatives. What does this mean for the NDP and Premier David Eby's chances of re-election, as well as for the future of the once formidable, now former, B.C. Liberals?The news broke just after Richard Zussman of Global News and I had recorded an episode about the state of B.C. politics on Wednesday morning. Once it emerged that everything had changed, we had to get together again to re-record. And with B.C. political news breaking so fast, I couldn't wait until the usual Friday to put this episode up in your feeds. THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, which will be available for Patreon members on Thursday here, Philippe and I will break down the implications of this move on B.C. politics. We'll also have lots of new poll numbers to discuss, as usual!In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.
