Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC, BCGEU, BC Dairy and Port of Vancouver.This week, a special guest returns to the hotel – the 37th Premier of British Columbia, Hon. David Eby. Geoff and Mike talk with the Premier about the year that was and what's changed since the 2024 election. They discuss challenges with the deficit and resourcing in healthcare, how BC is following Ontario's lead with a new ad campaign targeting President Trump's tariffs, and what landowners can expect from the government following the Cowichan Decision. In the Strategy Suite, Mike and Geoff are joined by hotel regular and Conservative political advisor Kory Teneycke. The trio chew over the Trump Trade War, the impact of Ontario's ad on both sides of the border, and whether all Conservative parties are doomed to succumb to infighting.
In Episode 303 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck, it's city hall mayhem, provincial implosions, and a federal plan that's literally going nuclear (in a good way).Here's what's inside:
Making his Next on the Tee debut is David Eby, Director of Golf at Banyan Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he's been leading the charge for nearly 30 years. David's journey through the game is a great story of passion, hard work, and lifelong dedication to golf. He played his college golf at Augusta University (then Augusta College) from 1986–1989, earning a degree in Economics and helping the team capture multiple tournament titles, including the 1987 Big South Conference Championship. During those years, he also had the unique opportunity to caddie at Augusta National, looping for several notable people like Don Shula, Peter Ueberroth, and Jack Welch. He even got to play the course himself—a dream few golfers ever realize. After college, David began his professional career as an Assistant Golf Pro at Augusta National, followed by a move to Pine Valley as First Assistant Pro, then becoming Head Golf Professional at Cedar Point Club in Virginia. Before long, he found his home at Banyan Golf Club, where he's built one of the finest golf environments in South Florida. In our conversation, David reflects on his experiences at legendary venues like Moraine Country Club (site of Byron Nelson's 1945 PGA win), shares great stories from his college days—including a Joe Namath like experience while playing a tournament at Furman. He then offers insights on how technology has reshaped the game. We also discuss Banyan's world-class facilities, designed by Joe Lee, and how their state-of-the-art practice area rivals even Augusta National's. David's stories span from Augusta to Palm Beach, filled with heart, history, and lessons that remind us why we love this game.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney argues that both B.C. Premier David Eby and federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson appear to have forgotten which jurisdiction interprovincial pipelines fall under. He says the Constitution is clear that such projects are a matter of federal authority—a principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. Kenney adds that Mark Carney's "build, baby, build" promise will be tested by how his government handles Alberta's latest push to get a new pipeline built.

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC, BCGEU, BC Dairy and Port of Vancouver.This week, things are a little different at Hotel Pacifico. Mike and Geoff kick off with Cheryl Oates and Erika Barootes of Alberta's “The Discourse” pod to unpack the escalating pipeline battle between Danielle Smith and David Eby, bringing perspectives from either side of the Rockies. Later, Geoff and Mike welcome George Abbott, longtime cabinet minister and current BC Treaty Commissioner, to discuss his new book “Unceded.” Together, they explore the unique historical context of Indigenous relations in BC and how it has shaped modern reconciliation efforts, including modern treaties and the recent Cowichan decision. To wrap it up, Geoff and Mike give an update on the BCGEU strike, which is now in week 7.
David Eby says the government is working on a new offer to present to the BCGEU. Is there an end in sight? The pipeline battle between BC and Alberta continues to heat up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome back to Next on the Tee, where golf legends live and your game gets better. This week's lineup is one that's sure to knock your socks off. Leading things off is the man I consider to be the greatest golf writer of this or any generation, Ron Sirak. Ron joined me recently, and I couldn't wait to bring him back. This time, he breaks down what we saw—and heard—at the Ryder Cup. Ron shares his thoughts on Europe's decision to “run it back” with Luke Donald, and we could see this same team until the U.S. proves it can beat them. We also discuss whether it's time for the US team to look outside of golf for its next captain—someone who's more motivator than a buddy. And since Ron's a proud Western Pennsylvania native, we couldn't resist mixing in a little Steelers talk too. Then, Top 100 Instructor Jeff Smith makes his fourth appearance on the show. Jeff, one of the most sought-after coaches in the game, is currently based at The Vintage Club in Indian Wells, California. We cover his thoughts on the Ryder Cup, joke about a Sam Wyche–style reminder that European fans might need in 2027 (“You don't live in New York!”), and dive into Jeff's insights on the mental side of golf—how to stop overthinking and why failure often teaches what success cannot. Be sure to come back for Part 2 when David Eby makes his Next on the Tee debut. David played his college golf at Augusta University—known then as Augusta College—where he and his teammates helped build the foundation for the program that would later win back-to-back national championships with the likes of Patrick Reed. While in college, David also caddied at Augusta National, where he looped for some of sports' biggest names and even got to tee it up there himself. After stints as an Assistant Pro in Ohio and Virginia, David has spent nearly three decades at Banyan Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, and he brings with him a treasure trove of stories you won't want to miss. So settle in and enjoy another great week of golf talk, laughs, and great tips here on Next on the Tee.

For most of the four years between 2019 and 2023, the Liberals and Conservatives were deadlocked in the polls with each party hovering a little over 30%, give or take a few points. Then the bottom fell out for Justin Trudeau's Liberals. But are we entering into another phase of a deadlocked, polarized electorate — this time with Mark Carney's Liberals and Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives both stuck around 40%?This week on The Numbers, we discuss what could be the new normal. Plus, the NDP gets an interesting new entrant into its leadership race and the government announces a change to the budgeting schedule that could have some repercussions for the electoral calendar. In New Brunswick, the PCs hold one of their seats in a provincial byelection, while in Newfoundland and Labrador we're only one week out election day. Where do things stand there? We also discuss some new polling numbers from Quebec and British Columbia, where David Eby seems to be benefiting from a divided (and infighting) opposition.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

The past week saw a surge in energy-related political developments in Canada. Prime Minister Carney issued a unified Mandate Letter to his cabinet on May 21, 2025, emphasizing that Canada “must build an enormous amount of new infrastructure at speeds not seen in generations. This includes the infrastructure to diversify our trading relationships; to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies.” The newly appointed Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, delivered a constructive message during his visit to Calgary, highlighting the importance of building energy infrastructure, including oil and gas. Meanwhile, the Premiers from Western Canada convened a meeting in Yellowknife. They released a joint statement agreeing to plan and develop an economic corridor for “transporting oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, uranium, electricity, and hydroelectricity to Canadian and world markets.” To discuss these developments, we are joined by our guest, The Honourable Gordon Campbell, President of Hawksmuir International Partners Limited. He is the former Premier of British Columbia (2001–2011), Canadian High Commissioner to the UK and Northern Ireland (2011–2016), and Mayor of Vancouver (1986–1993). Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter posed to The Honourable Gordon Campbell: Based on the Carney government's constructive comments on energy infrastructure and attracting private investment, including the Energy and Natural Resources Minister's trip to Calgary last week, would you anticipate a new approach from the Liberals compared to the previous decade? The Western Premiers issued a joint statement to develop economic corridors, including those for transporting electricity, natural gas, and oil. What types of projects do you expect David Eby's NDP government to support in British Columbia? Would you expect the Federal government to revise or repeal energy policies, particularly those that might deter capital investment, such as the industrial carbon pricing policy set to increase to $170 per tonne by 2030 or the oil and gas emissions cap?

On November 5th, Donald Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States. The Republicans gained a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. There were also recent provincial elections in Canada, including British Columbia, where the incumbent NDP party nearly lost power to the Conservatives. Federally, in Canada, there is potential for a spring election.This week, Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reid Institute, joins the podcast to talk about the recent elections and polling.Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Shachi: What does the election of Donald Trump tell you about the state of democracies? How important of an issue is immigration? To what extent do Canadians support Trump's policies and approach? What is the likelihood of US import tariffs of 10-20% being applied to Canada? What are the likely energy policies from the Trump administration? What are the priorities in British Columbia post-election, and do you expect any change with respect to natural resource development and LNG? How could the election of President Trump impact the next Canadian election? Do you expect any leadership changes for the Liberals? How does climate change rate as a priority for Canadian voters?Content referenced in this podcast: Angus Reid InstituteShachi Kurl, Ottawa Citizen Article, “Don't expect a unified ‘Team Canada' approach to Donald Trump this time” (Nov 8, 2024) Awaiting the next President: Canadians prefer Trudeau to deal with Harris, Poilievre to work with Trump (Nov 4, 2024)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Tomorrow, British Columbians head to the polls in a provincial election that's seen plenty of twists and turns.There was the collapse of the B.C. United party, formerly the B.C Liberal party, which really opened the door for the further rise of the B.C. Conservative Party, and its leader John Rustad.Rustad, who's running to be premier of B.C., is in a tight race with sitting B.C. NDP premier David Eby. Controversial and conspiracy-laden comments by Rustad himself, and a number of his candidates have taken up a lot of oxygen.CBC's B.C. provincial affairs reporter Katie Derosa joins host Jayme Poisson to sort through all the political drama.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

In This Episode: Recap of Last Season: The team reflects on their solid performance last year, hitting a 56% ATS (Against the Spread) success rate on DraftKings Pick Five and 61% in their 3-2-1 contest. The Picks Breakdown: This week's top-rated games, categorized into Gold, Silver, and Bronze: Gold Games: Tennessee Titans (+4.5) vs. Chicago Bears: Multiple handicappers, including Steve Physic and Scott Seidenberg, back the Titans. New York Jets (+4.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers: No sharps favor the 49ers, with top picks for the Jets coming from the likes of Mike Lombardi and R.J. Bell. Silver Games: Carolina Panthers (+4.5) vs. New Orleans Saints: The Panthers receive strong backing, with notable names from the Action Network supporting the pick. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sharps like Kyle Long and Steve Hasek are backing the Falcons. Bronze Games: Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5) vs. Miami Dolphins: Handicappers such as Mike Lombardi are favoring the Jaguars, while the Dolphins have limited support. Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) vs. Denver Broncos: Despite some dissent, sharps like Marco D'Angelo pick the Seahawks. Key Insights: Betting on rookie quarterbacks comes with caution—historically, they are 5-15-1 ATS in their first 21 games, a stat to consider in the Titans vs. Bears matchup. The Jets benefit from the "Super Bowl loser hangover" trend, with the 49ers' poor Week 1 ATS record adding weight to the pick. The Panthers, coming off an improved offseason with a better offensive line and coaching staff, are gaining traction as a smart pick. Betting Trends: Underdogs on Monday Night Football: They are 29-12-1 ATS since 1998, a stat applying to the Jets in Week 1. Favorites of 7+ Points in Week 1: Historically, they are 14-27 ATS since 2003, with teams like the Bengals fitting this trend.
