It’s the Great BC Shake out today and as we get set to do our practice run at 10:15 a.m., let’s catch up with Erin Stockill! You may know her as emergency program officer for the district of Saanich, but she’s also the Vice President of the BC Earthquake Alliance.

The Victoria band known for poking fun at ferry waits in their name is also recognizing today as the great BC Shake Out, with their 2025 song about the subject: the Big One. Cam from the band is joining us to talk about why it’s important – at least in art – to have a smile in the face of natural disaster.

New opinion data commissioned by the BC division of the Canadian Mental Health Association is highlighting some priorities for people heading into the provincial election, including overwhelming support for upstream supports before things reach a crisis. CAMH BC CEO Jonny Morris is joining us for more.

We’ve been so focused on our double election season we almost forgot about the U.S. mid-terms, but Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says they’re watching us closely for signs of interference in the mid-terms. This comes after U.S. president Trump made more explosive remarks yesterday at a rally, saying Canada will “end up being the 51st state.” Local retired diplomat Jeremy Kinsman has made some time for us to share his reaction.
