78 | How DRIPA Happened (w/ Mike de Jong, former MLA)

How did DRIPA, the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act – supposedly a step forward in reconciliation – become such a political and legal mess? On this edition of Journal, we speak with a man who was a member of the British Columbia legislature that gave birth to the now-controversia…

79 | Seniors are Alone (w/ Dan Levitt)

On this edition of Journal, seniors services. For 11 years, British Columbia’s Seniors Advocate has been measuring the challenges facing our seniors. Sad to say, it’s not a pretty picture. In fact, Dan Levitt, our Seniors Advocate, says when you look at the data, we are actually going backwards – n…

80 | What to Do About Men’s Health (w/ Kenton Boston, CEO of Canadian Men’s Health Foundation)

On this edition of Journal, we focus on the challenges facing boys and men in today’s society. We know that more women than men make it to post secondary education. But did you know that men have a 75% greater chance of overdosing on opioids than women? Men are also three times more likely to commi…

81 | Ottawa: What’s Happening? (w/ Mario Canseco, Research Co.)

On this edition of Journal, we take a closer look at the federal political landscape through a pollster’s eyes. The people of Canada elected a minority Liberal government and now – poof – we have a majority government. Are people happy with that? I have always found in my research that polls give u…

82 | How to be a Super-Ager (w/ Doug Clement, sports medicine researcher)

On this episode of Journal: a look at super-agers. The official definition is someone in their 80s and 90s, with the cognitive ability of someone 20 or 30 years younger. Most of us could come up with the basics of how to live longer besides your genes, of course: exercise, eat well, sleep at least …

84 | Metro Van Mess (w/ Mike Hurley, mayor of Burnaby)

On this edition of Journal: What do we do about Metro Vancouver? It is, after all, a major level of governance – responsible for water, sewers, housing, and more in the regional district. It’s important that it functions well and has the trust of the communities it serves. But there have been probl…

83 | Divided We Fall (w/ Max Cameron, professor at University of BC)

On this edition of Journal, I would like you to meet a man I have known for a long time: Max Cameron. As a Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at UBC, he co-founded the Institute for Future Legislators. We would often find ourselves on the same panel, not always with the same views, di…

85 | British Columbia Politics, Explained (w/ Stewart Prest, University of BC)

On this edition of Journal, I would like to invite you to play a game. It’s called British Columbia Politics. First of all, we had two dominant political parties: the NDP, under David Eby; and the other party, the Conservatives, were under John Rustad’s leadership – until they weren’t. Thinking he …

86 | Putting a Stop to Ageism (w/ Dan Levitt, BC Seniors Advocate)

On this edition of Journal, I’d like to ask if any of these following scenarios sound familiar – and these are just a few of the stories included in a report by British Columbia’s Seniors Advocate called “Reframing Ageing: British Columbians’ Thoughts on Ageism.” Over 9000 individuals participated …

87 | Is it too late to save our cities? (w/ Larry Beasley, former Vancouver city planner)

On this edition of Journal, we take a look at one of the hot issues in our current municipal elections: housing. Part of the controversy comes from the push for more and more density. Top-down planning, not neighbourhood-up. The provincial government has certainly embraced this argument by forcing …
