UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck — Episode 59

Welcome to UnSpun - The Orca's current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more.

In this week's episode Jody and George focus on the challenges politicians are having behind closed doors on what to do with the spiralling out of control protests; speaking of spiralling out of control, it was budget week in Victoria and guess what, taxes are going up; speaking of taxes, how much will it cost to have Olympics 2030 and can we pull it off again; and finally, because we could not take our eyes off it, the Democratic debate and the addition of Mayor Mike Bloomberg — good or bad, it sure livened things up.
