UNSPUN: Episode 329

July 17, 2026 | Sitka Media

Another episode of UnSpun is out! We hit a few technical bumps, so this week's episode is a day late — but it's packed with another great discussion from Jody Vance and George Affleck.

This week Ottawa's defence build-out, the Gordie Howe Bridge deal decoded, more than 200 speakers weighing in on 17 proposed villages, wildfire smoke blanketing Toronto, and why Vancouver's Park Board is still selling out an empty pool. All the spin, stripped bare.
