Show Notes

For the week of Oct. 10, 2021:

A year after they were in the middle of an unnecessary pandemic election, Premier John Horgan and his NDP government were in the B.C. Legislature, facing tough questions about the deadly summer of 2021.

On this edition of theBreaker.news Podcast, hear the highlights of the first week of the fall session. The opposition BC Liberals prosecuted the worsening overdose crisis, the mass-deaths from the late June heat dome and the aftermath of the wildfire that destroyed the town of Lytton.

As the saying goes, the worst day in government is better than the best day in opposition. But never before has a government in B.C. faced the size and scope of health and environmental challenges that are dogging Horgan, Health Minister Adrian Dix and Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.

Plus Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
