There was no increase in cannabis impaired driving and alcohol impaired driving has actually been on the decrease since legalization”

Mo Amir, host of the podcast This is VANCOLOUR, and Kyla Lee, a Vancouver criminal lawyer for Acumen Law Corporation, discuss the impact of the cyberattack on the provincial government, the need for transparency for the extent of the damage inflicted and the Vancouver Canucks play off campaign effects in the political sphere.

I recognize that a private corporation like London Drugs doesn’t really owe use an explanation. But our government does.”
