Ep. 033: Making A Better British Columbia
Guest: John Horgan, Leader, BC NDP
John Horgan, the leader of the BC NDP, is reaching the one year anniversary of his rise to the party's leadership.
In this conversation, he talks about everything from resources to First Nations, pipelines, LNG, education, transit and so much more. On every topic, he says we can do better. He maintains that when we do, everyone benefits.
Horgan says, “Everyone’s a New Democrat; they just don’t know it yet.” He goes on to say, “Most British Columbians have the same hopes and dreams that I do for themselves and their families. The trick is how do we get there together.”
