"The Evolution of Eby" with Vaughn Palmer + 12 Substacks of Christmas

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

Mike & Geoff are joined by press gallery legend Vaughn Palmer to review the BC politics landscape. Topics include the Cowichan ruling, transparency and secrecy, the issues to watch in 2026, and a tour of BC’s political parties and their prospects.

In Strategy Suite, Geoff and Mike unveil the “12 Substacks of Christmas”. Given that they don’t do math good, Geoff and Mike actually provide more than 12. Substack pics include: The Real Story with Terry Glavin, Vanity & Learning by Allan Gregg, Northern Beat edited by Fran Yanor, Blindingly Obvious by Don Wright, Charlie Don’t Tweet by Charlie Demers, Law for Breakfast by Prof. Dwight Newman, Without Diminishment co-founded by Caroline Elliott, Writings from Lulu Island by Jane Gallo, Khelsilem’s substack, AdamOlsen.ca, Claire Rattee’s substack, Just and Reasonable by Richard Mason, The Breaker with Bob Mackin, The Bureau with Sam Cooper, Relay with Kyla Ronellenfitsch, and the Pollara substack feat. Matt Smith, Dan Arnold, and Andre Turcotte. And don’t forget, Lotusland by Geoff Meggs!
