Will there be a fall session? Will there be a fall election? Who knows.
This may be the last week of sittings of the BC Legislature for 2020 so we brought BC Today reporter Shannon Waters back to talk about what was accomplished, what wasn't accomplished and who had the best Zoom background.
Then high school teacher Sonia Milbradt joins the conversation to talk about BC's school restart plan, which may ultimately be interrupted by rising case numbers.
And in quick takes we look at all the speculation in Ottawa, which is totally not just a distraction from more WE scandal.
