PolitiCoast The BC Politics Podcast

Here's the money shot from BC's unexplained wealth order application. The gov is asking for these funds, which were proceeds from a criminal 'pump & dump' scheme. The lawyer who knowingly held these ill-gotten funds in trust was disbarred for this.

EXCLUSIVE: The story of BC's second unexplained wealth order involves a Bob Marley coffee company, a disbarred lawyer, a "pump & dump" scheme and $3-4 million dollars that might become the property of the Government of BC very soon. politicoast.ca/2023/12/15/beh… #bcpoli

We sat down for an hour with @daveberta to talk about the #ABleg election. Episode is up now for patrons and will be on the public feed tomorrow afternoon. patreon.com/posts/82879473…

My first podcast appearance in a while and my first with @PolitiCoastPod. Thank you to @ibushfield for having me on to talk all things #bcpoli after a busy first week of session.

Welcome @BCTodayOfficial reporter @LazenbyAlec to this week's podcast to help us break down David Eby's first Throne Speech - and why he wasn't there. politicoast.ca/2023/02/10/thr… #bcpoli

New episode day. Let's talk about allegations of Chinese meddling in Canadian elections and what it took to make Doug Ford back down. politicoast.ca/2022/11/11/chi…

@K_DeWolf Officially? Dogwood went farther in public communications and worked closer with Appadurai than USW did with its comms & in its work with Eby. See eg thetyee.ca/News/2022/10/2…

@PolitiCoastPod Question: what is the difference between Appadurai's connection to Dogwood or 360org v the provincial & federal NDP's connection to (most) unions, especially USW? I seem to be missing something, but this whole sitch & discussion around it feels skanky

We're back for a special BCNDP leadership debrief episode politicoast.ca/2022/10/22/eby… #bcpoli

And just like that I'm halfway through my last week with @BCTodayOfficial 🥲 Time truly flies. Last Thursday, I sat down with @PolitiCoastPod to reflect on the past 5 years of reporting on #bcpoli and discuss the launch of Eby's campaign 👇 politicoast.ca/2022/07/22/ep-…

The real question in the BCNDP leadership race is which past guest of our podcast will be the next premier?

"I just want to live in a society where people are willing to pay for things that aren't bad. But we don't." #politicoast @PolitiCoastPod

@mike__fung You're right! Totally slipped the memory.

Emergency podcast out. Refresh your feeds

We did an entire bracket competition on this. Horgan was the runner up in the NDP arm but the people spoke and Dave Barrett is the undisputed champion. politicoast.ca/bracket

Looks like we have a BCNDP leadership race to cover!

I knew C-11 was bad, but this conversation goes just into how bad it is. I honestly can't fathom why the NDP voted for this. @GordJohns, @AMacGregor4CML why did you vote for this? Honestly, as a constituent I wouldn't mind an explanation.

@LaurenceP81 @OpenMediaOrg @matthtfld Thanks!

The Royal BC Museum won't be coming down. And we talk to @matthtfld of @OpenMediaOrg about the no good, very bad idea that is #BillC11 politicoast.ca/2022/06/24/ep-… #bcpoli #cdnpoli

We also muse about the BC Liberal convention and whether they should change their name - today they voted to explore the idea further.

A lot of big numbers being thrown around the Conservative Leadership Race but something doesn't quite add up. politicoast.ca/2022/06/11/ep-… Plus we look at the reports on the Heat Dome, the BC FOI and federal elections. #bcpoli #cdnpoli
