In Episode 303 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck, it’s city hall mayhem, provincial implosions, and a federal plan that’s literally going nuclear (in a good way).

Here’s what’s inside:

🏙️ Vancouver’s Political Freefall — New polling shows Ken Sim’s support collapsing, with only 30% of voters wanting him back. George breaks down why the mayor’s “supermajority” has evaporated.

🌿 Pete Fry’s Green Tease — The Green Party of Canada, BC, and Vancouver all back Pete Fry for a possible mayoral run… but he’s coy about actually running.

🏗️ Housing Headaches — Sim loses a key vote on creating a city-owned housing corporation after his own ABC caucus fractures. Should governments be building market rentals at all?

🏞️ Park Board Panic, Again — Pay parking, paranoia, and people convinced Ken Sim’s secretly plotting condo towers in Stanley Park. (He’s not.)

🏙️ Surrey’s Stadium & Costco 2.0 — Brenda Locke revives Doug McCallum’s dream project: a 10,000-seat arena and another Costco. Chaos meets construction.

⚡ Provincial Meltdown — John Rustad’s BC Conservatives implode while David Eby faces strikes, ballooning budgets, and a cabinet that’s lost control of spending.

🔌 Canada Goes Nuclear — The federal government’s new small modular reactor plan sparks debate. George says it’s about time — clean, efficient, and not your grandpa’s reactor.

📍 From city hall squabbles to the future of clean power, Episode 303 is pure UnSpun: fiery, funny, and unfiltered.
