This week on UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck, it’s local politics colliding with global headlines — and yes, we go from Vancouver City Hall straight to the United Nations.

Here’s what we cover:

🏙️ Vancouver’s Mayoral Shake-Up — Rebecca Bligh launches Vote Vancouver and sets her sights on Ken Sim. Is this Vision 2.0 or a real new player in 2026?

⚖️ Conservative Turmoil — John Rustad survives a leadership review, but ejects Eleanor Sturko. Party unity or caucus meltdown?

🍷 BCGEU Strike Escalates — Liquor distribution blocked, restaurants squeezed, and taxpayers wonder: why not privatize?

📮 Canada Post Bleeding Cash — $1B in losses, rural closures, and why it still matters for small towns and national unity.

🌐 The UN General Assembly — Trump blusters, Carney soothes, and Canada searches for trade partners while pipelines still stall.

🏥 Care Home Crisis — Jody shares a personal story on BC’s long-term care shortage and the brutal reality for families.

📺 Jimmy Kimmel Returns — Millions head to YouTube after Sinclair/Nexstar blackouts, Disney loses billions, and Jody ends up in Newsweek after canceling her Disney+ subscription.

🎶 Sarah McLachlan Steps In — The Canadian icon joins Kimmel on his comeback night after ditching her Disney premiere.

📍 From liquor lines to global diplomacy, UnSpun breaks down the spin every week.

💥 Subscribe, comment, and let us know: Should Canada Post survive? Should Jimmy Kimmel move to streaming for good?
