Icba Cast

Taped in the Victoria budget lockup, Jordan Bateman gives his views on the NDP's 2019 BC Budget.

Chris & Jordan chat about the Nanaimo byelection, PLA "snake oil", the stupid Speculation Tax, the bombshell Plecas Report and the ongoing Prop Rep court challenge.  

Provided courtesy of TheOrca.ca.   Proportional representation was soundly defeated last month, but a court challenge of the entire process – a process the Globe and Mail called “Canada’s least honest attempt at electoral reform” – is still on the schedule to be heard in BC Supreme Court.   And a second court challenge against the BC Government, this one opposing an order that all workers of the Pattullo Bridge must join a government-approved union, is also underway.   The common denominator is the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, who is leading both challenges.   Chris Gardner is the president of ICBA and joined Rick Cluff in studio.

Former BC Finance Minister Kevin Falcon dropped by the ICBA office today and chatted with Jordan Bateman about the LNG Canada announcement, red tape, NDP decision-making, prop rep and municipal elections.  

The weekend started with the news that all signs point to an announcement about LNG Canada going ahead, and ended with a last-minute trade deal between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Both stories are vitally important to the B.C. economy. The construction industry will be busy, thanks to all this good news. Chris Gardner, president and CEO of the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association joined The Orca's Rick Cluff to tell him more.
