šŸš— Who gets into a car with a photographer and agrees to answer questions about politics? Apparently, Janice Perrino.

Welcome to HA Mobile Interview #9, featuring incumbent councillor Janice Perrino.

In this episode, Janice talks about why Nanaimo needs to be ready for the future, how her experience as a former councillor and mayor in Summerland has helped shape her work here, and why family and Rotary are such an important part of her life.

No campaign bus. No podium. Just Janice, me, a carā€”and hopefully no unexpected traffic stops. šŸ˜Ž

Hit play and see what happens when a councillor gets trapped in the HA Mobile.

šŸš— The HA Mobile is rolling again! šŸŽ„

Interview #9 is with incumbent Erin Hemmens, who is looking to return to Nanaimo City Council.

In this episode, Erin talks about why she believes diversity of experience, different perspectives, and being able to work as a team are important ingredients for a high-functioning City Council.

And then we steer directly into one of Nanaimoā€™s favourite municipal lightning rodsā€¦ āš”ļø

šŸš² BIKE LANES.

Love ā€™em, hate ā€™em, or find yourself somewhere in the middle ā€” Erin tackles some of the misconceptions and questions surrounding this often-divisive topic.

So buckle up, turn up the volume, and join us for another ride around Nanaimo in the HA Mobile.

No campaign bus.
No podium.
Just a car, a camera, some casual questionsā€¦ and hopefully no traffic tickets. šŸ˜Ž

šŸ‘‰ Have a watch and get to know Erin a little better.

šŸš— The HA Mobile is back on the road, and this time, weā€™ve got a familiar face in the passenger seat.

Hereā€™s Interview #7 with former Mayor and Councillor Bill McKay, whoā€™s back in the municipal political arena and ready to talk about why.

In this episode, hear why Bill is back, his ideas for finding new revenue streams for Nanaimo that could help take some of the tax burden off residents, and how Roger Brooks is inspiring him to think about doing more with less money.

So buckle up ā€” itā€™s another casual conversation, a few laughs, and hopefully fewer potholes than the last ride.

šŸŽ„ Hop in and get to know Bill McKay.

šŸš— The HA Mobile rolls on! Interview #7 Patrick Gunville

This time, Patrick Gunville climbs into the HA Mobile to talk about making Nanaimo more business-friendly, attracting better-paying jobs, and creating a stronger community.

Nanaimo certainly has its challenges, but Patrick believes weā€™re pretty well positioned for greater things.

And then things take a slightly less civic turnā€¦

šŸ’ Find out why Patrickā€™s wedding planner may not be thrilled with this municipal election, and why thereā€™s a pretty good chance his attention will be pulled away from the campaign over the coming days.

Apparently, there are some things in life even a municipal election has to take a back seat to. šŸ˜‰

šŸŽ„ Have a watch, and let me know what you think.

And if thereā€™s a question youā€™d like me to ask another candidate on your behalf, drop it in the comments below. I may just take your question for a ride in the HA Mobile.

Enjoy the show!

šŸš— HA Mobile Interview #6 with Paul Manly

The HA Mobile is back on the road, and this time Paul Manly is in the passenger seat, talking about what it really takes to be a good city councillor.

We get into how our city taxes can help move major projects forward, what makes for effective leadership, and because no HA Mobile interview would be complete without a little trouble, Paul and I compare notes on our wild rock ā€™nā€™ roll days. šŸŽø

Think you know Paul? Watch the interview and get to know the person behind the candidate.

šŸŽ„ The HA Mobile rolls on! Interview #5 with Cameron Leckenby

This time around, we find out why Cameron knows his way around the political circus, this ainā€™t his first rodeo! šŸ¤ 

We talk about why improving public transit in Nanaimo matters to everyone, what Cameron hopes to bring to City Councilā€¦ and, perhaps most importantly, why having a crooked nose was apparently always in his destiny. šŸ˜‚

Politics, public transit and a nose with a story, what more could you want?

šŸš— Hop into the HA Mobile and watch the full interview with Cameron. You might learn somethingā€¦ and youā€™ll definitely find out about the nose.

Hereā€™s my latest HA Mobile interview with the freakishly handsome Richard Harlow, a candidate in the upcoming municipal election.

Richard is legally blind, but what some might see as a disability, Richard has turned into a superpower.

Hear why his unique perspective could help make Nanaimo a better, more accessible city for ALL of us.
