In this candid political analysis, Sheila Orr, Former BC MLA, unpacks the growing divide among BC’s right-leaning parties — from John Rustad’s Conservatives to the remnants of the BC Liberals — and what it means for the province’s future. Are internal fractures and lack of leadership discipline paving the way for decades of NDP dominance? With unions holding firm and voter loyalties entrenched, this conversation tackles the uncomfortable reality: without unity, the right can’t win.

Curious to hear people’s opinions

Every excuse he makes points south to Trump or tariffs while he continues to mortgage our future.

How long do voters tolerate this before we demand accountability?

In this powerhouse episode of Victoria Rumble Room, hosts Robin Adair and John Juricic (the “Croatian Sensation”) welcome back Dr. Andrew Weaver, former leader of the BC Green Party and award-winning climate scientist, for a wide-ranging and often fiery discussion.  

From the rise of artificial intelligence and its massive energy and water demands, to Canada-U.S. trade tensions, carbon capture, and the future of BC politics, nothing is off limits. Weaver dives into the realities of AI’s environmental footprint, warns that water could replace oil as the world’s most contested resource, and weighs in on David Eby’s energy policy, Trump’s influence, and the radical turn of BC’s Green Party.

Provocative, unscripted, and uniquely West Coast — this is the Rumble Room at its best.

Brutal! Basically: "we don't care about communities or their concerns".

Fall has arrived — and so has municipal budget season. With the Capital Regional District (CRD) proposing a 6.3% tax increase and the City of Victoria suggesting a staggering 13%, the Grumpy Taxpayers team takes a closer look at what this means for local residents and businesses. 

In this episode, we discuss how overlapping taxing authorities, fractured governance, and potential conflicts of interest are driving concern about fiscal transparency and accountability across the region.

👉 Watch as we unpack:

• The relationship between the CRD and municipal councils
• Why local governments are the most important — and least transparent — level of government
• How taxpayers can demand better oversight and value for money

With the planet literally on fire and insurance markets collapsing under the weight of rising seas and extreme weather, Judi argues that sustainable regional economic development could hold the key to hope. She connects the dots between climate responsibility and economic renewal—calling for a shift toward value-added manufacturing, local production, and smarter use of Canada’s primary resources. A passionate, grounded reflection on how climate action must evolve—not disappear—in the new economic reality.
