  How Penticton Could Become Canada’s Energy Export Town

  Feb 28, 202612 minS0

  <p>Penticton’s energy opportunity didn’t happen by accident — we’re just not using it.<br /><br />A city bathed in sun.<br />Nearly 300 hours of sunshine in July.<br />Locally owned utilities.<br />And yet when it comes to long-term economic leverage, lower property taxes, and future-proof jobs… we’re thinking too small.<br /><br />In this video, I break down why energy is the 50–100 year prize in North America, why AI and electrification are about to spike electricity demand, and the massive strategic advantage sitting right above our heads:<br /><br />the sun.<br /><br />After looking at solar feasi...

  Penticton as the Street Performer Capital (Here’s the Plan)

  Feb 25, 202612 minS0

  <p>Penticton’s vibrancy problem didn’t happen by accident — we designed it.<br /><br />A beautiful lake. Packed beaches. Strong tourism.<br />And yet when it comes to downtown energy, foot traffic flow, and places that actually feel alive… something breaks.<br /><br />In this video, I break down why Penticton struggles with dead zones, why tourists cluster in only a few areas, and the low-cost lever no one is seriously pulling:<br /><br />we’ve built a city people visit — but not one that keeps them moving, lingering, and exploring.<br /><br />After looking at tourism behavior, city-design patterns, an...

Award-winning wineries.<br />And yet when it comes to innovation, high-paying jobs, and startup energy… something feels missing.<br /><br />In this video, I break down why Penticton struggles to attract and retain startups, why young talent quietly leaves, and the structural gap no one’s seriously addressing:<br /><br />we’ve built a city optimized for lifestyle — but not for opportunity.<br /><br />After looking at economic patterns, regional comparisons, small-city growth models, and what other BC communities did to unlock inno...

  Penticton’s Deer “Problem” Is Our Fault (Here’s the Fix)

  Feb 23, 202612 minS0

  <p>Penticton’s deer problem didn’t happen by accident — we built it.<br /><br />Deer wandering through neighborhoods feels charming… until it doesn’t.<br />Collisions rise. Aggressive behavior spikes. Costs climb. And suddenly what felt “harmless” becomes a real safety issue.<br /><br />In this video, I break down why Penticton has so many urban deer, why it’s getting worse, and the uncomfortable truth most conversations avoid:<br />this problem isn’t caused by the animals — it’s caused by us.<br /><br />After digging into bylaws, provincial data, wildlife behavior, and what other BC communities tried when things got out of...

  The One Upgrade Penticton Needs Next

  Jan 30, 202614 minS0

  <p>You don’t need a bigger city to build a better future — but you do need the right connections.<br /><br />Penticton has one of the most underrated airports in the country. Short lines. Easy access. Ten minutes from downtown. On paper, it’s a dream.<br /><br />But something isn’t working.<br /><br />In this video, I walk through the real bottleneck holding Penticton back — not tourism, not housing, not ambition — but how we actually move in and out of the city.<br /><br />After flying in and out myself, talking with airlines, and comparing what other cities did d...
