Geoff and Mike reconvene post-election to discuss their feelings. First, a cameo from a special guest to report results of the ‘other’ election. Then the hosts dive into the detailed results, the key campaign moments and turning points, and some of the people (and exorcisms) behind the scenes. They look at who’s in and eulogize the mostly NDP MLAs on their way out. Looking forward, will the NDP look West? Did Emily Lowan’s veil slip on election night? And what about transition? All that and a trip to the mini-bar!

Geoff and Mike do the trifecta of Alberta referendum results, BC local election results, and the penultimate review of the BC election. Geoff acknowledges his hot dog deficit on the Alberta question, before the duo move on to BC local election results. Mike and Geoff are barely COPE-ing with the Vancouver results, while the guy who “barely wants to do this” won in Kelowna. The duo breeze through the local results but is it a breeze, or is that the gale force winds of change? On the BC election, Mike drops new Pollara Strategic Insight numbers. Mike and Geoff look at where things are at in the campaign and Mike forlornly discusses the deficit (again). In the mini bar, the fridge is cold, and the takes are hot. One more pre-election episode later this week.

Geoff studiously observed the TV Leaders’ debate this week while Mike was at the Bruno Mars concert, so Geoff even-handedly explained what happened. Mike didn’t come empty-handed as he revealed the latest poll results from Pollara Strategic Insights. The duo discussed the flurry of post-debate promises before shifting over to local politics. With local elections on October 17th, Mike and Geoff have one final review. Remember to vote! 🗳️

Mike & Geoff surface from their respective Thanksgiving food comas to dish out the latest on the BC election and local government elections. The duo review the emerging news that Premier Eby was a recipient of $10/day daycare and also dissect controversial comments made by the Conservative campaign manager. Healthcare, wealth taxes, and free WIFI on BC Ferries are also on the discussion menu, along with a preview of Wednesday’s televised Leaders’ debate. Mike & Geoff switch over to local elections and discuss the curiosities on the ballot on the South Island then size up the big city races in Vancouver and Surrey, before grazing through a long list of interesting match-ups they’ll be following through to Saturday the 17th when the local polls close.

Mike & Geoff release exclusive Pollara Strategic Insights topline results on the BC election. Heading into Turkey Time, Geoff argues the NDP had a great week on campaign trail keeping the Conservatives on the defensive, while Mike wonders what the voters think about it. With two weeks to go in the campaign, the duo debates the tax plans of the two major parties and what it means for the deficit, the economy, and, in the short run, the election. On to municipal elections, Mike & Geoff review the state of the Vancouver campaign then touch upon other hot races in Metro - Richmond, Delta, Surrey, and West Van.

Geoff and Mike review the final candidate standings and remark up on the Green surge in the final 48 hours, bringing their ranks up to 73 candidates and a chair in the TV debate. The NDP, however, peaced out by failing to register a candidate in Peace River North, which means Mike owes Geoff a hot dog (but what kind of hot dog?) Also on the menu is eating the rich, a meal served up by Premier Eby. Geoff and Mike debate how much of an appetite voters will have for their recipe, and how Eby’s tax plan is less spicy than the jalapeño-laden tax platform put forward by Emily Lowan and the Greens. More debate on health care and street disorder before the hosts moves on to target ridings and the seat by seat battleground. Not merely satisfied with the BC election, Mike and Geoff stretch to the civic arena and discuss the Vancouver election. Geoff’s recipe is un-Fry’ed as he has endorsed Rebecca Bligh. They touch on innovative lawn signs and ‘baseball cards’ in Kelowna and PG before touring hot races in Metro Vancouver suburbs. Also included, a tribute to former MLA and Attorney-General Colin Gabelmann.

Geoff finds himself in Victoria and Mike finds himself in Calgary as they review the week that was on the campaign trail. Gas tax and groceries promises and reaction to the oil pipeline announcement are on the menu. Mike and Geoff burrow into the candidate lists and wonder if the minor parties are going to show up to the ballot by the October 3rd deadline. The duo review some of the municipal races around BC.
