🏨🌄 This week Hotel Pacifico welcomes award-winning, Vancouver-based author John Vaillant whose book, Fire Weather: the Making of a Beast, is a bestseller that follows the aftermath of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire. #FireWeather has sparked an important discussion on community readiness for fires. Kate, Geoff, and John discuss the recent major structural fire in Vancouver and the City’s vulnerability to a major urban fire, along with the nature of the evolving fire risk across our land base. Plus, a discussion about how cynical politicians inflame public sentiment.
In the strategy suite, Mike joins Kate and Geoff to talk about the latest provincial poll, an update on candidate nominations in advance of the BC election, BC United’s big tax cut promise, and some of the issues that the NDP government is dealing with as the ballot box nears.
So... Welcome to Hotel Pacifico. We’re your 5-star podcast destination for B.C. politicos. Hosts Mike McDonald and Kate Hammer provide insights and interviews covering the latest in B.C. politics. Plus, our weekly segments #StrategySuite with Geoff Meggs + #MiniBar!

This guy..Valliant..is faux. He is unaware where the Boreal Forest is..rather than where it begins.
This lack of geographic plausibility lends itself to greater ignorance and poetic license which is self serving.
"Im embarrassed to say What is Fire?"
A lesser intellect surely
..if poetically so.
