Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC.


🏨🌄 It’s ‘Hotel Pacifico Rim’ this week as Mike and Geoff welcome Canada’s Ambassador to Japan Ian McKay.  Ambassador McKay discusses the importance of Canada-Japan trade, especially for BC which sends minerals, lumber, LNG, propane and other goods across the Pacific.  McKay highlights the geopolitical tensions impacting Japan, Canada’s interests in the Indo-Pacific region, the challenge of Japan’s aging population, and the value of trade missions in reinforcing Canada’s and BC’s interests in the region.  

In the Strategy Suite, Anita Zaenker joins Mike and Geoff as Kate is away this week.  The trio chews over public sector negotiations in BC, the previous week’s cabinet shuffle, the ultimate resolution to who is funding medication for Charleigh Pollock, this week’s Council of Federation meeting, and BC’s opportunity as it relates to increased defence spending. 

Join Mike McDonald, Kate Hammer, and Geoff Meggs for insights and interviews covering the latest in B.C. politics.
