Jim Richards and Strombo for News 1010

Last week I was invited to talk to Jim Richards and George Stroumboulopoulos on Jim's News 1010 show that they were broadcasting live to Toronto from one of the two kiddy-corner Starbucks on Robson Street.

Last week I was invited to talk to Jim Richards and George Stroumboulopoulos on Jim's News 1010 show that they were broadcasting live to Toronto from one of the two kiddy-corner Starbucks on Robson Street. We talked about how accepting Vancouver residents were of the Games, some misconceptions about the city by visitors and residents alike, about the unseasonably warm winter and how it could have a positive affect on BC tourism in the future, we talked about traffic and some other light topics and then I shook Ujjal Dosanjh's hand so he could go on and talk to them right after me.

a very busy photo, much like our city over those 17 days

It was a trip that they booked me on the show right between premiere Gordon Campbell and Ujjal and I can only hope that my future doesn't involve politics but that I'm simply brought on to break up the actual, serious topics and possibly deliver a smile or two... much like this little web site we've got here. Of course I always stress that it's important to keep up on what's really happening in the world and with the real news but it's nice to know that what we're doing here is appreciated and that people actually want to hear what we've got to say. Thanks to George and Jim for chatting with me, I hope you guys had an awesome time in our city during the Olympic madness. Also thanks to Britt in Toronto who was producing the show remotely.
