Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC, BC Dairy and Port of Vancouver.

This week, Mike and Geoff leave no Stone unturned - Todd Stone, that is. The CEO of  the Association for Mineral Exploration (AMEBC) and former BC Liberal/United MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson checks into Hotel Pacifico for a one-year “wellness check” since leaving politics. The three dig into modern mineral exploration in BC, what it’s like lobbying the provincial government from the outside, and his advice for those considering a future in politics.  Stone serves up some nuggets. 

In the Strategy Suite, Geoff and Mike welcome back public affairs consultant and political commentator Maeghan Dewar. Together, they discuss the possibility of a snap election in BC, Premier Eby’s U-turn on his  ad campaign targeting US decision-makers, and what the latest Angus Reid poll reveals about public opinion on reconciliation. Also, they consider whether the Green Party’s new strategy to raise taxes on the rich will lead to electoral fortunes.

🏨🌄 Check into Hotel Pacifico for insights and interviews covering the latest in B.C. politics.
