BC Today, June 27: Does personality trump policy in politics? | Summer music festivals preview

On Thursday's show: - Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is defending his decision to convert a city hall boardroom into a personal gym. Meanwhile, the first debate between U.S. presidential challengers Joe Biden and Donald Trump is taking place tonight.
