Show Notes

The BC Liberals have a new leader, Andrew Wilkinson, who was a Campbell Crony and member of the Clark Clique. ICBC, the Crown auto insurer, was described as a "financial dumpster fire," touching-off a round of fingerpointing. Will there ever be any fingerprinting? BC Liberal operative Brian Bonney, the only person charged in the Quick Wins scandal, was sentenced to a nine-month conditional sentence. And Dave Barrett, B.C.'s first NDP premier, died after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. It was a week like no other in B.C. politics. Listen to theBreaker.news Podcast for all that and more.
