Listeners text in their thoughts on dealing with spiders and more issues of the day as Ryan & Lisa kick off the day with top local updates and conversations about the news. 

Friday brought some significant shake-ups in B.C. politics, after a cabinet shuffle followed Minister Brenda Bailey disclosure she will be seeking cancer treatment. We have Josie Osborne taking on the finance file, while Ravi Kahlon is going to health and Bailey takes up jobs with Adrian Dix stepping in while she is undertaking treatment. Meanwhile, former BC Conservative finance critic Peter Milobar left his caucus to sit as an independent, citing a mis-match of values with the party’s new direction. Rob Botterell is the BC Greens finance critic and a local MLA, and he’s joining us to share his thoughts.

Plus, the Junior A Shamrocks hope to build more momentum after starting off Minto Cup with a loss. CFAX 1070 program director and lacrosse box broadcaster Brad Challoner joins for a peek at what's happening in Calgary. 

A local 11-year-old is hosting his annual lemonade stand in support of the Victoria Hospitals Foundation, a tradition that began after his father died suddenly from a brain aneurysm in 2022. This year Anders Yee will host his stand on Shelbourne St. from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and he is joining us on the line now. He joins with Susanna, his mom. 

Plus more on how Peter Milobar announced he left the BC Conservative caucus on Friday shortly after Premier Eby laid out the cabinet shuffle because former finance minister Brenda Bailey will soon be seeking cancer treatment. How unstable is B.C. politics heading into the fall session? UBC political science lecturer Stewart Prest is joining us for his take.

Meanwhile, we’re getting new information about how police responded to the tragedy that unfolded in Tumbler Ridge when a 18-year-old shot and killed eight people before committing suicide. We all still have questions ahead of the results of the coroner’s inquest and a subsequent public inquiry remains on the table. CTV news and a group of media outlets went to court, and obtained hundreds of pages of heavily redacted documents.
