In a wide-ranging interview, host Peter McCully chats with the Leader of the BC United Party, Kevin Falcon.

Falcon says the catalyst behind the partyB次元官网网址檚 name change from the BC Liberals was driven by members who wanted to emphasize a party focused on British ColumbiaB次元官网网址檚 interests and uniting people around principles supporting a free enterprise, private sector-driven economy.

B次元官网网址淎nd through the course of that selection process, we came up with BC United,B次元官网网址� said Falcon. B次元官网网址淎nd I like it because I love the idea of unity and united. I really believe that in British Columbia, regardless of where you were born or what God you choose to pray to or you know, who you choose to love, I think itB次元官网网址檚 important that people feel really welcome in a party that is anchored by principles and wants to try and get different results than weB次元官网网址檙e seeing today.B次元官网网址�

Falcon strongly opposes the NDPB次元官网网址檚 approach to drug decriminalization, labelling it a B次元官网网址渞eckless decriminalization programB次元官网网址� without proper safeguards with negative consequences, such as open drug use in public spaces and the rising overdose death rates.

He also discusses policy initiatives related to education, including the return of letter grades and restricting smartphone use in schools.

The podcast episode also covers housing affordability, a pressing issue in British Columbia. Falcon criticizes the current governmentB次元官网网址檚 approach, which he said focuses on taxing housing without adequately addressing the supply side of the problem. He advocates for streamlining the approval process for housing projects and reducing government taxes and fees on housing to make it more affordable for individuals and businesses.
