Mike & Geoff attempt to recap the fast-moving events that appear to signal a snap BC election to be called within days.  They discuss the political calculation, the Conservative Chaos (to the power of 10), Premier Eby’s speech to the UBCM and what he promised, and the impact a snap election will have on BC’s 161 municipalities and 27 regional districts that go to the polls on October 17th.

Mike and Geoff welcome former BC Attorney-General and Finance Minister Mike de Jong for another visit to Hotel Pacifico.  De Jong tackles this week’s Quarterly Report that shows rising red ink and explains why he signed a letter, along with 10 other BC Attorneys-General in support of the Treaty process.  The talk inevitably leads to the Conservatives and where things are heading in BC politics, including in his home riding of Abbotsford-Mission.  Tempted to run in the by-election, the pinot noir would not oblige.
