Carney's Davos Moment, Poilievre's Leadership Vote & Vancouver's Mayoral Chaos | UnSpun Ep. 310

Episode 310 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck kicks off the new year with a bang — from Davos diplomacy to Alberta separatism to Vancouver's crowded mayoral race heating up fast. Here's what's inside: 🌍 Carney's Davos Speech Goes Viral Mark Carney delivers a self-written speech at the World Economic Forum that trends worldwide. "Canada is open for business" — a roadmap for trade diversification without once naming Trump or the U.S. Polling shows his approval surging coast to coast (except Alberta, down 5%). 🚗 Chinese EVs & Trade Pivots Canada opens the door to 40,000 Chinese electric vehicles, South Korea makes a deal, and the UK's Keir Starmer lands in Beijing. The message is clear: if the U.S. shuts doors, Canada will find new ones. 🤝 First Ministers Meet Monthly David Eby, Mark Carney, and Danielle Smith sit down together as premiers commit to monthly in-person meetings while CUSMA hangs in the balance. George explains why face-to-face diplomacy changes everything. ⚠️ Alberta Separation Talk Eby calls Alberta separatists "treasonous," First Nations leaders remind them the land stays put, and George unpacks why this feels more like a protest vote than a real movement. 🗳️ Poilievre's Leadership Review The Conservative convention kicks off with a Friday vote on Pierre Poilievre's leadership. His polling is terrible, and there's talk of removing abortion and DEI protections from party policy. George predicts he'll survive — but not for long. 📱 Media, Bots & the Fight for Truth Only 38% of social media users are real people. Jody explains why staying active on platforms like Twitter matters more than ever, while George calls out CBC for leaving the space to bots and billionaires. 🏙️ Vancouver's Mayoral Race Explodes Pete Fry expected to announce Friday. Shauna Sylvester publicly warns him not to run. Karim Allen adds Victoria Young to his slate. Colleen Hardwick circles again. And Jody pitches George Affleck for mayor (yes, really). 📍 From Davos to City Hall, Episode 310 is packed with the spin you need stripped away. 📬 Follow Jody: @jodyvance 📬 Follow George: @george_affleck 🌐 unspunpodcast.com ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 – Back from Break 01:30 – Carney's Davos Speech 05:00 – Chinese EVs & Trade Diversification 07:00 – First Ministers Meeting Monthly 08:30 – Poilievre's Leadership Review 12:00 – Abortion & DEI Policy Fights 13:00 – Media Bots & Staying on Twitter 15:00 – TikTok Sold in the U.S. 17:00 – BC Politics & Eby on Separatism 20:00 – Alberta Separation as Protest Vote 24:00 – Vancouver Mayoral Race Heats Up 27:00 – Pete Fry vs. Shauna Sylvester 29:00 – George Affleck for Mayor? 30:30 – Final Thoughts
