Vancouver Island

So I don't like to go to Mexico City or Bangkok or Delhi or like, I don't go to places with bad air.

I would rather go to Washington State Or Vancouver Island or Costa Rica.

Like I seek out good air when I travel.

And I look at the allergen levels and I look at the mold levels.

Backland's back, so that's why I'm guessing Ben Jones will be heading back to the American League.

And finally, before we hit the phone lines for the first time, Jerry in Vancouver Island.

Wow, are the Flames going to get to .500? I never would have thought that they would be flirting with it this year.

What was their longest winning streak last year? Accepting the wins and the losses and taking things in stride.

Jerry on Vancouver Island so their longest streak last year was four wins they got that from game 68 to 71 last year they're already at four consecutive wins from game 8 to 11 so that's pretty impressive 60 games earlier for their first four game win streak this year they did not win five in a row at any point last year okay let's get to the phone lines powered by telus 403-974-8255 same phone number as the text line our first call this evening is going to be cole on the phone lines tonight what's going on cole

Hey, Pat, how you doing?

I'm good, man.

We sense time differently than other creatures do, some other creatures.

There's a guy on Vancouver Island who is making a clock out of a giant tree.

And

he is setting it up, and I'm not sure exactly how he's doing it.

you're not doing m you're not mc'ing you're doing a stand-up set it's separate you're not like

yeah so everybody watches a whole bunch of emo bands and they go to a room and i'm just like vancouver island is a pretty scary place

oh you're doing local material

well he figures island he says they're on a cruise you

i used to like whose line and then they changed the host to you know who that's when i tuned out i liked when it was that british the bald british guy i forget what his name is i hated a really

sloppy host yeah the sloppiest of all

hosts became extremely sloppy in my opinion disgusting I think I met Miles when, Miles, you started doing stand-up on Vancouver Island, right? Yeah,

yeah.

Have you done, have you done, uh, much bear hunting?

Yeah, I've shot bears in Canada, New Mexico, and Vancouver Island, and then also in Alberta.

So some in Canada and then in New Mexico.

And New Mexico was with hounds.

Alberta was sitting in a tree stand, and then Vancouver Island was spot and stalk.

So I've tried all three.

All three? Yeah.

We have a bit of a trough that's sitting offshore.

It's starting to spread some showers across Vancouver Island.

We have had some nice breaks in Metro Vancouver, but quickly things will change.

And you can see some rainfall shifting in to the southern regions from just south of the border.

You were covering the NDP headquarters, and we chatted during our election night broadcast, but I just wanted to check in with you here again.

After going through that, what was it like being there for the South Island NDP candidates? They were all gathered at the Parkside Hotel, and you were there with them all night.

What was it like watching this kind of slow-motion disaster just unfold in front of them?

Actually, that's a very apt term for it.

Yeah.

Lots still to come.

And hey, I got another text message here at 71010 saying, wow, the southern tip of Vancouver Island sure looks isolated on the B.C. voter map after the election results.

Lol, says the texter.

I believe super smart, um, helped me in the TransLink campaign all those years ago.

And now an MLA for Richmond center, uh, Yoda, Vancouver Island.

There's a couple of close races waiting to hear Bert Chen kind of holding on 150 vote lead, waiting for the mail-in ballots.

Hopefully Bert can get that across the line.
