Mike & Geoff welcome Don Wright back to Hotel Pacifico. The former head of BC’s public service has unleashed his views on his substack, Blindingly Obvious. The hosts discuss Wright’s hot takes on how Canada’s immigration levels have come at a cost to the economy, jobs, and the housing market; how we can have our own values, but can’t have our own arithmetic; and how energy illiteracy could kill us.
In the Strategy Suite, Mike & Geoff discuss the latest Angus Reid numbers on Premier Eby’s approval rating, the Teck Anglo mining merger, Premier Eby’s pending trip to Ottawa, BCGEU labour action, and reverberations from the Cowichan decision.
