BREAKING NEWS: Vision Vancouver’s Penny Ballem Tells Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu to ‘Freeze’! No New Police in Vancouver for Five Years!
Thursday, September 2, 2010
And the hits just keep on comin’… A confidential source with the Vancouver Police Department confirmed for me late this evening that Penny Ballem, the most dreaded and despised City Manager in Vancouver’s history, has told the VPD that there will be a hiring freeze. In fact, Penny Ballem’s directive regarding budgeting included that the VPD is approximately 200 officers “over strength” (Just how delusional is this woman?? Extremely!) Apparently some of this has to do with anticipated post-Olympic retirements that haven’t yet occurred for a variety of... [Continue reading]
Vision Vancouver’s Version of McCarthyism Explained: The Sequel
Wednesday, September 1, 2010
The media ‘hit list’ leaked to me by a Vision insider, appalled no shortage of news directors/editors/producers etc. Thus far, I’ve heard from six, urging me to get my source to allow the tape to be released or at least get him to allow for some kind of interview, even if it’s with his identity blocked. Well, I can confirm here that I’ll do better than that–but not right away (it took me a long time to get Ark Tsisserev to talk). My source is scared and I don’t blame him, Vision Vancouver are a nasty crew. They don’t stop at attacking your words... [Continue reading]
Did I Tell You the BC Conservatives Are Going Nowhere Fast? Apparently They’ve Arrived at Nowhere…
Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Like the empty beer bottle that rolls off the lap of a drunk on a street corner and lies aimless, semi-prone on the gutter grill, so too have the BC Conservatives. And I gather they would prefer you not know… Why? Well, it’s a sad repetitive process that just seems to grip the loons in the far right. If it’s not the grotesque Westboro Church mantra of ”God hates fags’ then it has to be the granddaddy of all ultra right wing nut job planks: ‘Abortion is Murder’. God does not hate homosexuals. Not in my mind–or in the mind of any fair-minded individual,... [Continue reading]
(UPDATED) BREAKING NEWS: Vision Vancouver’s Version of McCarthyism–The MOST Vicious, Despicable Political Party in British Columbia’s History
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
In what must be the most outrageous offense that Vision Vancouver captains at City Hall have committed to thus far, I am quite floored to learn that they have a media ‘hit list’. Provided to me by a Vision hierarch that is VERY close to completely bolting from their party, the below is a list of reporters and commentators, presumably in ascending order of how much we are hated by the Mayor and his despicable crew. Below, is the list and then some comment from the source, with follow-up from me. But first, to be fair, since this is an EXTREMELY damning indictment of the way Vision Vancouver...

Extremist Sikh Violence in British Columbia: Why Must It Always Boil Down to This?
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Let me tell you a very, very, very sad story. In a previous life I went out with an exceptionally fine Indo-Canadian gal. She was a Sikh. We studied at UBC together. Loved going to the movies. Took frequent trips to Seattle for weekends. Took super-long walks. It was wonderful. Though, it wasn’t just the romance…she was a GREAT friend. We’d often finish each other’s sentences. We liked the same pop (Ginger Ale). We ran at least 6K per day and sometimes finished off with an ice cold beer at ‘The Pit’. We coined the ‘Ultimate UBC fall morning moment’... [Continue reading]
BREAKING NEWS: Mayor Gregor Moonbeam’s Runaway Train of PR Consultants–ALL ON YOUR DIME!
Sunday, August 29, 2010
In a joint ‘Breaking News’ piece with the boys over at citycaucus.com we’ve uncovered YET ANOTHER, no-bid, no-tender contract that Dr. Penny Bellam and the Mayor of Vancouver are right smack in the middle of. Is there no end to the lies these two will tell the public about fiscal prudence? Linda Oglov was paid a massive amount of money to strategize Vision Vancouver’s radical green agenda before the Olympics and then received a contract extension for the Games at an additional, whopping $1,000 per day. This is precisely the kind of contract that Dr. Bedlam and Mayor Moonbeam... [Continue reading]
The Magnificent Marbella Mistake: How Michelle Obama Sealed the Democrats’ Fate
Sunday, August 29, 2010
We sat as we always did, across from one another at his desk. His arms folded above his head, wondering, thinking, about every observation I’d made in the previous six months, that he surely worried about. In this particular dawn meeting in the Prime Minister’s office, well before the arrival of Brian Mulroney (usually some time before 7:30am, but never later), one of the best political minds I’d ever encounter asked, “…so, whad’ ya think is gonna happen…when he leaves?” I couldn’t wait to reply, it was automatic. “I think we’re...

‘Al-Qaeda Idol’: Only in Canada You Say?!
Friday, August 27, 2010
We’ve established here, many times over, that the immigration system in this blessed country, is broken and in desperate need of repair. If it’s not murderous street-racing thugs dancing through deportation for eight years, or some liar pretending he’s a conscientious objector, who’s sick and will be tortured back home; it’s terrorist-backed human smuggling operations–the list of our immigration ills is endless. But two stories got me this week. First, this as backdrop, and then, of course, the discovery of a terrorist cell in Ottawa. These people do not belong... [Continue reading]
Do You Know Vision Vancouver’s Marcella Munro?
Friday, August 27, 2010
Since I’ve spent the last few days introducing you to a couple of other behind the scenes players with Vision Vancouver and how they mindlessly shovel for the radical agenda they’ve hobbled the city with, I thought I’d peel back the curtain and give you a glimpse of a big shot, too. Enter Marcella Munro–sourpuss, nasty, vicious and unrelenting–most particularly when she’s caught lying. We’ll get to that in a minute, but I have to tell you, NONE, of those adjectives I’ve just used to describe her were in play when we were friends. I quite liked Marcella.... [Continue reading]
NPA Pub Night A Success!
Friday, August 27, 2010
Well, wonder never cease… Almost fifty people in a quaint little pub on Main Street. Big smiles, happy people. This is in no small part to Vision’s self-inflicted radicalism costing them their relationship with the media (and the public). But you have to give the NPA credit where credit is due. NPA celebrities like Ian Robertson, Michael Geller, Ken Denike and Setty Pendakur. Emerging demi-lords like Gavin Dew, Bill McCreery and Dave Pasin were riding high. Even President Michael Davis (who’s actually a nice man and probably gets too rough a ride on this blog) was smiling from... [Continue reading]
