For the week of Sept. 1, 2024:

On Aug. 28, Kevin Falcon took his BC United out of the provincial election and threw support behind John Rustad and his Conservatives’ bid to defeat David Eby’s NDP government on Oct. 19. Mario Canseco of Research Co joins host Bob Mackin to analyze the historic agreement.
Labour Day weekend is the unofficial end of summer. Back to school and, for many, back to the office.
The Lower Mainland relies on public transit utility TransLink, but it is threatening to cut services around the region if the next provincial government does not give it hundreds of millions more dollars to spend.
Meanwhile, under the Eby NDP, SkyTrain expansion projects are late and billions of dollars over budget.
Longtime TransLink critic Malcolm Johnston of Rail for the Valley says TransLink is costing too much, needs to undergo a long-overdue audit and a governance and corporate shakeup. He is Bob Mackin’s guest on this edition.
Plus, this week’s Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
