Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC.

Mike and Geoff welcome longtime BC public servant Doug Caul. He walks into Hotel Pacifico with three decades of experience in the BC Public Service including leadership roles in Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation, Environmental Assessment, various economic ministries, along with serving as Deputy Minister in the Premier’s office until his recent retirement. With a lot of debate taking place in BC on Indigenous rights, Doug helps break down Section 35 constitutional rights, First Nations treaties, DRIPA, and the tools in the toolbox for agreements between First Nations, industry, and government.

In the Strategy Suite, Geoff and Mike comment on a change in staffing at the top of the Premier’s Office, Decrim in the Dustbin, the state of the Conservative race - who’s in, who’s out, and, before the lights turn out, Resource Impresario Sarah Weber is a late check-in, bringing news of the upcoming BC Natural Resource Forum and ensuring Mike has his bags packed for frigid but friendly Prince George.
