Capital Daily: Recent Episodes
Capital Daily
Get the latest news from Victoria, BC's fastest growing news organization. Our in-depth interviews and daily updates will keep you posted on everything to know on Vancouver Island.
In 2008, a young real estate agent named Lindsay Buziak was murdered inside a vacant, $1-million home in Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. Lindsay’s murder shook the community—and made international news. But with few new details coming to light, investigators eventually hit a wall.
In 2019, Capital Daily, a local news and investigative journalism outlet, embarked on a quest for new information about the unsolved murder that continues to haunt the community, Lindsay’s many friends, and her family. The intent was to separate fact from fiction. Now, people who had sworn off doing another interview are re-breaking their silence. And people who were close with Lindsay are giving extended interviews for the first time.
With this new podcast series, Capital Daily is finally ready to reveal its reporting, with new details from people who were there. With unexpected twists and turns. And with a glimmer of hope. Fifteen years after Lindsay’s murder, a new story is ready to be told by investigative journalist Zander Sherman and Capital Daily.
Listen to the trailer and subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/murder-on-the-island-the-lindsay-buziak-story/id1667193389 or wherever you get your podcasts. All episodes available in late January 2023.
The Capital Daily podcast in its current format is coming to an end. We plan on bringing you different series in the future, so please stay subscribed, but the show as it has been, is now over. Thank you for everything. -Jackie

Nearly three centuries after they first sprang up on Canada’s coastline, just 51 staffed lighthouses remain in the country – survivors of repeated attempts at automation. Perhaps nowhere in Canada are they quite so abundant as Vancouver Island, where towers dot the Strait of Georgia and the fog-laden Pacific Coast. We speak with lightkeepers Justine Etzkorn and Karen Zacharuk about a life lived “on the lights.”

The town council of View Royal has voted narrowly to add two new councillor seats, in an effort to attract a more diverse array of candidates to seek election. Mayor David Screech argues the move to expand council is long overdue, but his detractors have questioned whether the move is necessary, given the town's small size — and have wondered whether any new candidates will apply. ("The three or four people I have heard from who are interested in running are people like me, white men. So we could end up with more of the same," said councillor John Rogers.) We speak with Mayor Screech about the vote, why he feels it's important, whether amalgamation would be a better option, and how his council plans to encourage a more diverse array of candidates.

A new housing development is coming to Victoria’s downtown, and it’s built around the concept of co-living, where tenants share a common kitchen and living area.

But does it solve the issue, or merely reveal a deeper problem? We speak with city councillor Ben Isitt.

In this unique podcast experience, the Best Coast Political Podcast teams with the Capital Daily to bring listeners a revealing look at one of B.C.'s most beguiling towns: Langford. Recently voted the most liveable city in Canada, it's often criticized for its endless sprawl, bland suburban geographies, and stagnant local government. How to square the circle? The expert panel includes Aaron Guillen (Capital Daily), Maleea Acker (Univ. of Victoria and Focus Magazine), and Jeremy Caradonna and Matt Dell (Best Coast Political Podcast).
The panel takes on numerous topics in this long-form discussion, including the sketchy origins of Bear Mountain and its subsequent bankruptcy, the Danbrook One tower fiasco, the destruction of rare Garry Oak ecosystems in the area, the lack of urban planning, perceived conflicts of interest between industry and local politicians, and the secretive, closed-door nature of local governance. Stew Young has been mayor for nearly 30 years, ever since the town incorporated in the early 90s, and there has been little turnover on the city council over the years. So what is Langford's true identity? Does it have a 'democracy deficit? And where does it go from here?

South Island Prosperity Partnership
Telling Our New Story Initiative
Our Challenge
The South Island region is at a pivotal time. Since COVID-19’s onset, we’ve faced massive economic challenges, with dramatic impacts on key industries such as tourism, transportation, hospitality and retail. Even before the pandemic, major economic shifts were apparent — maturing industries, changing demographics and bold, emerging competition for talent and investment.
Greater Victoria has a stellar global reputation — and tourism has done an outstanding job presenting our region to the world. We now have an opportunity to strengthen our region and diversify our economy by creating a compelling, authentic multi-sector story that positions us as one of the world’s leading mid-sized city-regions — one that attracts talent and is a magnet for investment and entrepreneurship. The aim is not to reinvent tourism’s approach but to complement it by strategically tapping into our own unique DNA.
South Island Prosperity Partnership, the region’s economic development agency, has embarked on the “Telling Our New Story” initiative to create a compelling globally fluent presence that fully showcases our region’s advantages.
To help us create the building blocks for our new regional story, SIPP is working with Dr. Tim Moonen, cofounder of the UK-based Urban Intelligence firm, The Business of Cities, who has worked with some of the most successful, vibrant mid-sized cities around the world to help them strengthen their global identity, visibility and narrative.
With Dr. Moonen, SIPP consulted sectoral groups to drill down into our city-region’s authentic DNA. Overwhelmingly, each of the groups we consulted embraced the idea of creating a new story and an international marketing approach for our region, anchored by regional “ambassadors” — well-connected leaders passionate about showcasing Victoria’s attractiveness for talent, business and investment to the global community.
The Telling Our New Story initiative emerged from the recommendations of the Rising Economy Taskforce’s report Reboot: A Plan for Greater Victoria’s Economic Recovery, released by SIPP in November 2020. In that report, 10 sectoral committees recognized the need for a globally savvy approach and an authentic story that benefits across all our sectors, from tech to retail to tourism to ocean and marine. This multi-sector “ask” points to the deep need for a powerful new story for our region.

Family doctors are in short supply across the country. Today on the show, we speak to Doctor Matthew Chow, President of Doctors of B.C. to find out why, and how we can change that. We also speak with Kyle Oram, a man living with Type 1 diabetes who moved to Victoria several years ago, but has still been unable to find a family doctor.

In today’s day and age if you want to watch a movie or binge watch a TV show, you generally turn on your TV, select an app such as Netflix and browse from thousands of movies and TV shows that you can watch instantly. For many of us though, we remember the times of having to get in the car and drive to your local video store, physically looking through thousands of titles and only getting to select a couple at a time to enjoy for a select period. It may seem weird to think in 2020 that this classic form of finding entertainment still exists, with video stores around the world going out of business faster than Usain Bolt runs the 100m. Yet, in downtown Victoria, one video store continues to buck the trend of the death of the video store. That store is Pic A Flic video, a store that has been operating for 37 years and offers over 25,000 titles from all around the world. It remains open seven days a week, and surprisingly, is still incredibly popular. Host Ben Waterworth chats with store owner Kent Bendall about how he is still able to remain open and operate and go over some more nostalgic memories on what still draws people to his store.
Part-time paramedics across the province are struggling under an outdated on-call pay system, coupled with an extra stressful year. These issues are chasing first responders away, and leading to severe staffing shortages throughout the province. That lack of staff in turn is putting British Columbians at risk from slower response times—in the Lower Mainland at one point in early December, a third of ambulances were out of service due to staff shortages. In a brand new article on the Capital Daily available today, reporter Jolene Rudisuela goes into detail about the pay issue in BC, which includes the fact that some paramedics only earn $2/hour for their entire 12- or 14-hour shift. Host Ben Waterworth chats more to Jolene about her article, and finds out what steps are being brought in to make conditions better for them.
On the afternoon of Dec. 3, BC's Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, stood at the podium she has spent countless hours speaking from since March and described the province's plans to start vaccinating an eager population. The initial vaccinations will likely begin in the first week of January of 2021, just weeks away—but the last shot will not be expected until September. With every new vaccine announcement, the light at the end of this 2020 tunnel gets a bit brighter. But it’s easy to forget that all around us, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are at an all-time high. The pandemic is not over, but one day it will be, and a vaccine will help make that happen. Doses at first will be limited—not everyone who wants the vaccine will be able to get it. To put it bluntly, there is still a long way to go. Last week on the Capital Daily, UVic research Harley Gordon penned an article going into more detail about the roll out of the vaccine, as well as discussing the different types that are out there, such as the Pfizer vaccine which is being rolled out in the UK as we speak. Host Ben Waterworth is joined by Harley to chat more about his article as well as just what this vaccine coming to BC means.
2020 has been a nightmare year for BC when it comes to overdose deaths, with continued record numbers reported each month. To help combat the crisis, a new type of take-home drug test has become quite popular in the province, as it allows users to test their products for substances such as fentanyl, and an be used as a literal life or death test which could prevent people from dying from an overdose. Despite the popularity of the test in Vancouver and the interior, it has yet to make an appearance on Vancouver Island, with no immediate plans to introduce it here, leaving many health experts on the island baffled. Host Ben Waterworth chats with the author of a brand new article appearing today on the Capital Daily Brishti Basu about the test as well as trying to find out why it has yet to materialise in the local community for us here on the island.
Al Hasham is the President and CEO of Maximum Express Courier, Freight and Logistics, as well as the President and CEO at Max Furniture. With both businesses having their head offices in Victoria, Al has been heavily involved in business in the city for over 30 years. He has been part of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce since 1987 and has served on their Board of Directors since 2010, and in 2016 he became the Chair of the Board of Directors and currently holds the position of Past Chair and the current Chair of the Board of Governors for the GVCC. Host Ben Waterworth talks to Al about his incredible life story and why he might find himself in an even higher position in the city one day.
When you’re 64 and you’ve spent half your life incarcerated. Where can you call home That was the question posed by Capital Daily reporter Anna J. James earlier this week in an article she penned after spending a year following Richard Higgins, a 64-year-old man who has spent 32 years in the correctional system. In the article, Anna goes into detail about how Richard was navigating the tortuous path toward finding stable housing, from a halfway house to a squalid apartment to a dangerous roommate and back again. Higgins has lived through some of the worst of what Victoria's notoriously challenging housing market has to offer, and James's empathetic feature revealed what housing is available to people with barriers—and what they need to overcome to put a roof over their heads. Host Ben Waterworth talks to Anna more about her incredible article and learns more stories from the incredibly interesting story Richard has to tell.
Last month, Canada created history by having the first National Olympic Committee sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Olympic Academy Participants Association (IOAPA) to promote and strengthen the Canadian Olympic education programs. Under the MOU, an Olympic education hub will be created on the IOAPA website, where best practices and programs will be shared globally for those interested in the material. The Canadian Olympic Committee’s Canadian Olympic education programs, such as resources from the world class Canadian Olympic School Program (COSP), will be the first-ever National Olympic Committee led content on the hub. The education programmes aim to teach Canadians about the importance of the Olympic Movement, with the vision being to inspire the next generation of Canadians to contribute to building peaceful communities by educating through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind by respecting the values of friendship, solidarity and fair play. Host Ben Waterworth chats with IOAPA President Richard Coo and country coordinator for Canada Katrina Galas about why using the Olympic movement can be so useful for education, and why Canada is a renowned leader when it comes to using the movement on numerous levels.
For the second year in a row, and the third time in its 16 year history, the University of Victoria Vikes Honour Roll Luncheon awarded the prestigious Provost award to two students athletes who tied for the best GPA. Economics students Katie Martens and Sam Seshardi both achieved a perfect GPA of 9.0 to take out the Award, which was recently presented to them during a special zoom call where deans from each faculty read out honour roll recipients. Katie & Sam were part of the record 101 honour roll student athletes who achieved a minimum of a 6.6 GPA while training and competing at the highest level of sport. Alongside their perfect GPA, both Katie and Sam train heavily in their respective sports, with Katie taking part in golf and Sam taking part in rowing. Host Ben Waterworth chats with both Katie and Sam about what it means to them both to win the award, as well as why using their physical and mental abilities are so important for both their sporting and academic achievements.
For the last ten years, Ian Young has worked and lived in Canada and currently serves as the South China Morning Post’s Vancouver correspondent. Originally from Australia, Ian has worked as a journalist for more than 20 years and has worked for a variety of publications, including Australian newspapers and the London Evening Standard before arriving in Hong Kong in 1997. During his time in Hong Kong, he won and shared awards for excellence in investigative reporting and human rights reporting as well as taking home the Hong Kong News Awards Scoop of the Year. Host Ben Waterworth chats with Ian about his journey from Australia to Vancouver, the challenges he has faced over the years and working around different reporting styles of three different countries in his work.
For many of us we all go through a dinosaur phase, in which we eat, sleep and dream purely about those prehistoric creatures that have fascinated humans for centuries. One woman in Victoria took that fascination to a new level, and alongside her husband has used it to create Dino Lab, a hands on fossil experience in Victoria in which people can come in and see fossils and bones up close and personal as well as get an opportunity to interact with them like nowhere else in Canada. That woman is Carly Burbank, who co-founded Dino Lab with her husband Terry Ciotka and opened it up to the public in 2019. Outside of Dino Lab serving as a great place for dinosaur lovers to come and experience dinosaurs in one of the most unique ways possible, the facility also serves as a fossil and bone restorative lab in which fossils from around the world are preserved back into the former glory. Host Ben Waterworth talks to Carly about what brought about the idea for Dino Lab, travelling the world to find new specimens, hanging out with a T-Rex and why they might have the most unique experience for people to have in all of Victoria.
Shawn Hall is best known as one half of the BC blues duo Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer. Together with Matthew Rogers, the pair carved out quite a significant career since 2006, winning countless awards and having their music featured on major television shows such as CSI, Blue Bloods and The Good Wife. Shawn has recently taken on a new musical project and formed a supergroup called Satellite and the Harpoonist, which features a variety of other artists from different musical acts including the Deep Dark Woods, The Boom Booms and King Missile. The supergroup recently released their debut EP Satellite Man, and have since taken the opportunity to hit the road with their music, including performing tomorrow night in Campbell River. Host Ben Waterworth chats to Shawn about the formation of the supergroup, how it's possible to put together something strong with many different musical ideas and why he now lives on the island and his take on the local music industry.
Sean Millington played 13 seasons in the CFL, 10 of which were with the BC Lions, and throughout his career enjoyed a series of plaudits. These included being a two-time Grey Cup champion, three-time CFL All-Star, four-time CFL West All-Star as well as being named the league's most outstanding Canadian player twice and winning the Dick Suderman Trophy for best Canadian player in the 2000 Grey Cup. Throughout his career Millington compiled 6086 yards on 1129 carries, placing him twenty-fourth all-time on the CFL rushing list. He was also the first individual in the BC Sports Hall of Fame history to be inducted twice in the same year, both as an individual and as a member of the 1994 Grey Cup winning BC Lions. Host Ben Waterworth chats to him about using that experience from winning a Grey Cup previously with the Lions to his advantage on that fateful day on November 26, 2000 and finds out just what it took to beat Montreal for that famous victory.
26 years ago, Cameron Hughes life changed forever. Attending an Ottawa Senators game, Hughes found himself disappointed by the uninspired crowd and soon jumped to his feet, started dancing and began to get the crowd more involved. From that moment on, Hughes found a new calling as a professional sports fan. Since that fateful night, Hughes has gone on to perform at over 1500 different sporting events in 22 different leagues in front of 18 million people. He has performed at Olympics and Rugby World Cups and has had numerous moments broadcast around the world, including famously dancing with Novak Djokovic on centre court at the US Open in 2015. Hughes, who now lives in Victoria, has recently released a book detailing his experiences, and how he ended up taking what for many is a passion and turning it into a lucrative career. Host Ben Waterworth chats to Cameron about his amazing career and just how it all happened.

Meaghie Champion is a Capital Daily contributor and probably one of the most interesting writers on Vancouver Island. She's been a National Post columnist, she's founded a Coast Salish-based currency and she studied the Hul'q'umi'num language with the late Willie Seymour, who until his death in 2015 was one of only a few dozen fluent speakers of what was once the most widespread language on what is now Vancouver Island.
