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

Mike is home alone at the Hotel this week and has hired temps to come in to keep the discussing going. He’s joined by Sitka Media’s Jarryd Jäger, formerly of the Western Standard. Jäger discusses the vision for the fledgling news service and where it fits between the echo chambers. The Maple Ridge product also discusses his advocacy for free speech and how generational frustration is expressed through commentary.

In the Strategy Suite, Mike is joined by Leah Holoiday, a veteran of the Notley government and BC Public Service, and Carling Dick, an experienced campaigner with the BC Liberals and BC Conservatives. The trio review the recent Canada-BC Prosperity Agreement (is it aging like a fine wine or a quart of milk?), the NDP’s voluntarily increasing involuntary care, a Carney insider makes his move on the North Shore, and does BC need its own Stampede to curry political favour?

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