David Eby calls a snap election on top of the municipal vote, Lorne Doerkson steps into the spotlight, and Vancouver heads into advance voting.

This week on Unspun with Jody Vance and George Affleck:

• Eby calls a snap election with a majority of one, and why it will be forgotten by tomorrow.
• Who is Lorne Doerkson? The interim BC Conservative leader, Cariboo fire fighter and former newspaper publisher.
• The question for Doerkson: the fringe corners of his party.
• "Anybody but Eby" and what we should have learned from the US.
• John Rustad out, Elenore Sturko leads CentreBC, Andrew Weaver joins, Richard Zussman runs for the NDP.
• Brenda Bailey, Ravi Kahlon and Lana Popham not running again.
• Eby courts US health care workers from red states, and the doctor shortage in the north.
• Three elections in three weeks: October 17, October 24 and the US midterms November 3.
• Vancouver: ABC's $2.1 million war chest, the safety plebiscite, and is it down to Sim and Fry.
• Surrey, Richmond and the ballot draw.
• Park board, pools and community amenities topping the polls for the first time.

Advance voting October 3, 7, 10 and 13. Municipal election day October 17. Provincial election day October 24.
