🚨 New Episode Alert: For the Record with Daniel Fontaine & Paul Minhas 🎙️
This week’s episode is packed with hot topics you won’t want to miss:
✅ Aug 25th Council Meeting Preview – A jam-packed agenda! Council will debate whether to provide multi-year funding for long-standing local non-profits and whether to boost community grant funding by 2026 — conveniently, an election year.
✅ Metro Vancouver at the PNE – Nearly $450,000 of your tax dollars spent on popcorn, giveaways, and even a $2,000 e-bike at their infamous “pee and poo” booth. You can’t make this up!
✅ Media Spotlight – Daniel joined The Jas Johal Show to talk Metro’s PNE presence. Plus, shout-outs from Robin Gill and Bill Tieleman for holding Metro accountable.
✅ Reddit Rumours – Is Fontaine pushing for Metro privatization? Nope. We debunk the latest political conspiracy floating around online.
✅ Summer Recap & What’s Ahead – From Queensborough Children’s Festival to Pride and Fridays on Front, NWP’s booth has been everywhere this summer. Looking forward: Sept 18th brings the big NWP mayoral candidate announcement (tickets moving fast!).
✅ Coming Soon – Author Jeremy Cross joins us in early September to share a different perspective on supervised injection sites. That episode will kick off our return to a weekly format.
