For the week of Sept. 28, 2025:
Premier David Eby’s NDP government is running a record $11.6 billion deficit and needs revenue wherever it can find it. One source is gambling: B.C. Lottery Corporation is budgeting a $1.4 billion profit. But at what cost?
Investigative journalist and theBreaker.news contributor Stanley Tromp obtained BCLC polling that found problem gambling is on the rise. He is Bob Mackin’s guest on this week’s edition.
Plus, the week that was in B.C. politics with Mario Canseco of Research Co. The Conservatives stand pat with leader John Rustad, even more members of the Green Party choose Gen Z Emily Lowan as their new leader and Eby went from NYC to the UBCM. Will the NDP find peace with the BCGEU?
As usual, Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and the Virtual Nanaimo Bar.
