Alex Joehl is the interim leader of the Libertarian Party of British Columbia. He joins us to get us caught up on B.C. politics, Langley municipal politics, and their new Premier.
ICBC and no-fault insurance is among our topics. Who would have thought that a government monopoly would cause prices to increase and quality of services to fall? Yes, I will admit that short term cuts in prices are attractive, but the money still has to come from somewhere.
We don’t shy away from the word “privatize” on The Darcy Gerow Podcast though. Like Alex says, “We want to legalize the free market”. We relate this philosophy to public schools, healthcare, and everywhere else where freedom of choice, and the ability of individuals make decisions in their own life is limited.
We talk about why libertarians should run for local offices. We have a great time and I hope you enjoy the episode.
Thanks.
