Call the Question

Lesli's dad gave us a review of our podcast and, among other things, asked whether we'd be having men on the podcast at some point. Find out what we had to say about that...

Former Surrey City Councillor and mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode joins us for a lively discussion on what it takes for a woman to run for office, the barriers that women and people of colour face, and where she's finding inspiration for the future. In this episode's WTF, Maria looks at Canada's new reality following the Alberta election: a country without a woman premier. NOTE: We're still ironing out a few wrinkles in our sound production in this episode. Thanks for your patience.

We welcome News 1130 Legislative Reporter Liza Yuzda to talk about working at the BC Legislature, the recent #RightToBareArms dress code controversy at the Ledge, and her tips for engaging on social media - especially Twitter - without losing your cool. And, in this edition of WTF, Maria takes aim at the barriers that continue to get in the way of gender pay equity. NOTE: We had a few technical issues with sound on this episode - thanks for your patience!

For our first-ever full episode of Call the Q, we speak with Ginger Gosnell-Myers, who was the City of Vancouver's first-ever Indigenous Relations Manager and is widely respected as a leader in helping to advance reconciliation in Canada's cities. We'll also hear from Maria on WTF is up with the Chilliwack school board and some of their wacky thoughts on how girls - in particular - should dress at school so as not to tempt or distract men.
