Icba Cast

Santa needs Chris and Jordan to help him figure out who has been naughty and nice in #bcpoli in 2017.

In a very special edition of the ICBA Cast, Chris and Jordan react live to the John Horgan Site C announcement. No association did more work on getting Site C to yes (and fighting to get this government to stick to yes).

Chris and Jordan welcome Lori Ackerman, mayor of Fort St. John - and one of Canada's most formidable supporters of responsible resource development. Lori is in Vancouver to pick up an award for FSJ, and we talked LNG, Kinder Morgan, fracking, oil and gas innovation, Site C, BC Liberal leadership, the rural-urban divide and more.

In this week's ICBA Cast, Chris and Jordan bask in the success of our AGM dinner featuring Peyton Manning, recap our new life members, ponder the titanic trajectory of the Dianne Watts leadership campaign, read some Site C tea leaves, rant about the out-of-touch Building Trades, and more.

The BC Liberal leadership candidates went to Prince George and it was a real roller coaster for Dianne Watts: she picked up the endorsement of Lucy Sager as Lucy left the race, and then she got whacked by the Prince George Citizen's Neil Godbout for her performance in Saturday's debate.   Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman break down the week that was for Watts, the leadership race, Darryl Plecas, Site C, Kinder Morgan and more on a Friday morning edition of the ICBA Cast.  

It's Halloween, and the NDP's return to 1990s-era union rhetoric is SCARY for taxpayers and the construction sector. Chris Gardner breaks it down with special guest "Philip Hochstein". (Okay, it's just Jordan Bateman dressed up as his favourite superhero). It's an ICBA Cast for the ages!

ICBA CAST: Mr. Gardner went to Ottawa, so we talk about his tour through the nation's capital. Plus we mourn the loss of our first BC Liberal leadership candidate, break down the Liberal debate, and more!

ICBA CAST: Chris and Jordan are back, talking Energy East, Paton's last stand at Massey, political party financing, the NDP's spending plans, and (of course!) the Green Bay Packers' tremendous, come-from-behind victory over the Dallas Cowboys.  

We're back! After a month's break, Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman are here with a new ICBA Cast, recapping some BC Liberal leadership news, #GEt2Yes news, and bickering over this weekend's big Packers-Cowboys matchup.  

The dynamic duo of Chris Gardner & Jordan Bateman return to talk Site C submissions, Kinder Morgan court cases, BC Liberal leadership and their #ComeOn moments.

Chris Gardner & Jordan Bateman welcome Jas Johal, MLA for Richmond-Queensborough, to talk about his background as a journalist, his first few months in politics, and (yes, we'll ask him) the BC Liberal leadership race. Plus #comeon, a social media question, & Chris's most-hated segment, the BC Liberal Leadership Power Rankings (with fun new ranking board!).

ICBA CAST! Terrace's Lucy Sager joins Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman to talk about the impact of the loss of Pacific Northwest LNG on northwest B.C., along with regular features #ComeOn and social media questions. And we debut our first-ever BC Liberal leadership race power rankings. Will Chris and Jordan agree on who is most likely to win the race to Christy Clark?

ICBA CAST: Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman welcome special guest Mike Davis and talk NDP government, Site C pink slips, BC Liberal leadership race, and how the North remembers.

ICBA CAST: Chris Gardner & Jordan Bateman talk about the collapse of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, John Horgan's trip to Ottawa and Washington, NDP cabinet mandate letters, Aussie Senators, floating wind farms, fake CFL games (Go B.C. Timberwolves!) and more!  

ICBA CAST: Jordan Bateman & Chris Gardner talk the new NDP cabinet, the new NDP staff, Vancouver's return to dominance, the Liberals in opposition, Desjardins and the NEB. Whew! It's another busy week in #bcpoli.     Plus Jordan explains why Nickelback MUST be dispatched on an urgent diplomatic mission to China.

On this episode of the ICBA Cast, Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman talk Site C, Kinder Morgan, the NDP, Trump in Poland, #comeon and more.  

Chris Gardner is on vacation this week, so we brought in the old pro: Philip Hochstein, retired president of ICBA. Phil's battles with the NDP in the 1990s are legendary, and seeing old NDP hands Horgan, Dix, Krog, Farnworth and Meggs getting the Bad Government Band back together has him worried.

Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman break down BC's historic week, look at the reality of Premier John Horgan, ponder Christy Clark's future, and more.

ICBA's Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman talk about Site C, Leave It To Weaver, Card Check, Speaker Steve Thomson, and, oh yeah, a certain Speech from the Throne. And Jordan rants on man buns.

Time for another ICBA Cast! Chris and Jordan talk about Speakers, the Throne Speech, the possibility of a summer election, a crazy Jordan poli sci theory, our #comeon moments, and Theresa May. Plus Chris's song o' the week!
