With the benefit of attending the lock-up, Mike spares no statistic in describing his fear of drowning… in red ink.  Geoff, a seafaring type, is much calmer in the turbulent seas and doesn’t feel the need for a life preserver.  Listen in, as they are both ‘indebted’ to their listeners. 🏨🌄 Check into Hotel Pacifico for insights and interviews covering the latest in B.C. politics.Thank you for joining us on #HotelPacifico.
