    Jul 30 2024

    First up -- the former head of public affairs for the Vancouver Police Department is suing the city, the force and one of the VPD's most prominent spokespeople for alleged harassment and bullying. Then, two First Nations are taking the federal government to court over a decision to allow a fish farm to continue operating in B.C. We speak with Bob Chamberlin, Chair of the First Nation Wild Salmon Alliance, and take your calls about the future of the salmon industry. At the bottom of the hour, we bring you the latest from Paris in our special CBC Olympic Update. In the second half, we hear all about "van life" and take your questions about what it's like from someone who kitted out a 1991 Toyota Warrior to live in. Our guest is David Isbister: a community activist, musician, food entrepreneur, YouTube content creator (Vegan Everywhere!) and #rvlife #vanlife dweller.
