Good Morning Vibrant Victorians,

The latest LGE is up for your listening pleasure and this week we have Rethink Thinking founder Rebecca Kirstein join us to talk about the events she organizes to help empower our youth. Now I know some of us feel they are already enabled, but they are not the same thing. Enjoy the show and we love your comments. http://bit.ly/2C5lkAv

Good Afternoon Vibrant Victorians,

We have new Lisa, Gene and Eric show up for your listening pleasure and this week we debrief the statue issue and wonder how a process can be inclusive and have most people feel excluded. Mia Culpa, you will have to listen to judge for yours http://bit.ly/2MNoj0k

She reminds me of Hillary, just can't come to admit that she made a bad decision.

And yet she is so like Trump, because she refuses to see that she doesn't speak for anyone but her disenfranchised minions.

I think she made a bad decision on how the decision was made and she admits that, and the pros and cons of (re)moving the statue is endlessly debatable so tough to know if the removal was a bad decision as such.  I think most of us share some Trumpian values when you drill down. My wife publishes an amazing magazine/website for newcomers to Canada and she advocates for "fair treatment" for all including new comers. As a privileged white man who often finds himself on the losing side of everyday life, it frustrates me that anyone feels they should be granted an advantage because of a perceived disadvantage, and that can make me sound Trumpian at times. We are tribal (disenfranchised minions) and the goal is to find someone who can run a bigger tribe so we can all get on with moving forward together and seeing the tide can lift everyone if you let it.

And after the past 4 years I don't feel that Lisa Helps is that someone.

It would be great if we could take mayors and council members for test drives for a week or so and see how they handle life off the test track.

Our latest LG&E is up for your listening pleasure and this week we have Rob Reid join the gang to chat about running retail operations in the downtown core. Frontrunners at Vancouver/View has had its fair share of issues including a bottle depot outlet across the street from them. Rob shares some of his stories from running for mayor and how to stay positive and successful in this great town of ours. Enjoy the show.  http://bit.ly/2ObnTqu

The bottle Depot has been gone for at least five years!

G Man you are right it has been gone for quite some time. I reference it as one of the many situations business owners have to face daily in our town and towns around the world. We considered contemplating future issues to fret about but thought it would be good to keep it real.

That's a great pun.

If the gods smile on the CoV on October 18 and Lisa Helps is removed as mayor will the show become just G&E?

we started the show before Lisa was mayor and I assume will continue after this election mayor or not. Lisa is part of the show based on her post secondary education in land use policies and not because she was on council or mayor.

Good Afternoon Vibrant Victorians,

This is a pre election taping when our wonderful mayor was just an aspiring incumbent looking to increase her measly win margin. We discuss her frustration with my inability to accept that creating an economic development plan means that economic development will ensue. Anyway, hope you enjoy the show and we really appreciate your comments.  http://bit.ly/2ESnvJ8

With hours of self improvement tapes behind me frustrating and wonderful can sleep in the same tent and not get stunk out by sarcasm. And you can ask my wife, sarcasm is one of my only tools in the day to day joy that is my marriage
