Victoria’s Streets Changed — and So Did the Politics

Open drug use. street disorder. harm‑reduction policy. enforcement shifts. It was a year in Victoria — and Ryan Price gives Shane a raw, local perspective on one of the biggest, most complex community stories of 2025.
They talk about how the pendulum swung from harm‑reduction experimentation to stronger enforcement, how business owners reacted, and why this isn’t just a Victoria story — it’s playing out across Canadian cities.
Add in federal politics, Vancouver Island’s shifting electoral map, and cross‑border cultural ties, and this episode becomes a thoughtful look at how social issues and politics intersect in communities big and small.
