What started in 1973 as a lifeline for cash-poor retirees has morphed into one of BC's most lopsided housing policies, one that disproportionately benefits the people who need it least. Insurance professional and self-described policy obsessive Phil Webb sits down with Adam & Matt to expose BC's property tax deferral program, a seniors benefit with no income or wealth limits that has become an investment vehicle for some of Vancouver's wealthiest homeowners. Far from helping the house-poor, enrolled homes in Vancouver average $3.4 million in assessed value & in West Vancouver one in seven properties takes advantage of the program. How did a program designed to protect vulnerable seniors end up subsidizing hedge fund managers and mansion owners? Why does BC run the most generous version of this program in the entire country? And is there a simple fix that politicians are too afraid to touch? Don't miss this one.

Two provinces, two court decisions, completely opposite conclusions on Aboriginal title over private lands. Lawyer Sam Adkins sits down with Adam & Matt this week to unpack the seismic legal shifts since the Cowichan Decision rocked the British Columbia real estate market last fall.

Why are BC and New Brunswick courts reaching completely opposite conclusions on the same legal issue? What does this mean for a final resolution on Canadian property rights? And with one to two years until the Supreme Court weighs in, what happens to property owners in the meantime? Don't miss this critical update!

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is challenging just about every orthodoxy about our province’s future and British Columbians are taking notice. Brad sits down this week with Adam & Matt to challenge the housing crisis narrative, expose how provincial mandates are destroying local communities, lament BC abandoning its resource wealth for service sector stagnation, and reveal why the Cowichan decision poses a greater threat than any housing shortage. From secret provincial legislation developed without consulting a single mayor to court rulings that undermine property ownership itself, West argues BC is living through a historic moment of reckoning. We need a different path forward. What's really causing affordability pain? Why are housing units sitting vacant while family homes are no longer being built? And can a small city mayor articulate a better path forward than Victoria? This one is for all British Columbians!
