We cover Lisa Lapointe B.C.'s Chief Coroner's update on the number of deaths from unregulated drugs in 2023, with at least 2,511 lives lost, the highest number ever recorded. In our second segment, we're joined by CBC journalist Sarah Antle from St. John's, Nfld, whose series "The Grind" tells the stories of people who have to work multiple jobs. As British Columbians struggle with high costs, we also talk with Sylvia Fuller, professor of sociology at UBC about what we're facing in this province. And our callers let us know how they are being impacted.
