George Affleck, BC Liberal | 2020 BC Election Series

We’re excited to have on George Affleck, BC Liberal candidate for MLA in Vancouver – Fairview. This is George’s first campaign for provincial office, but by no means his first campaign: George served as a Vancouver city councilor for 7 years and was elected to that position twice. Before serving on city council, George was a marketing executive and founder of Vancouver’s Curve Communications. Today, I’m excited to talk to George about what’s at stake in this election, his transition from business to politics, and how he’s uniquely prepared to campaign in this environment.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What’s at stake in this election;

  • His transition from business to politics;

  • Tax reforms and why it’s important at a time like this;

  • Tackling complex issues like homelessness in Vancouver;

  • Climate policies
