People like Richard Littlemore, Jim Hoggan, David Suzuki, Andrew Weaver, Michael Mann and Al Gore have no shame. They all continue to shovel alarmist nonsense about climate change. And when they get cornered, here’s what they LOVE to do: Remember how the Goracle once threatened to sue a news station because they were one of [...]
Sorry, I couldn’t resist, but today, somewhere in the naked city, hundreds, hopefully thousands, of healthily, amply breasted women will be trying to cause an earthquake (or heartache!) by showing a little, um, ah…skin, in mock protest of the Iranian cleric (read: nutbar) who suggested over the weekend that women baring too much of themselves [...]
Returning home from an event Friday night, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and husband Brian were involved in a serious car accident. The Watts’ were on their way home at just before 11pm, when another car ran a red light at an intersection (128th Str. and 24th Ave.) in the Ocean Park area of Surrey. Dianne [...]
Two major pieces for Monday: One, on the NPA and how the old girl may have lots of life left in her…thanks to another not-so old girl…and we’ll look at just how very weak Vision Vancouver are and the clear evidence that Gregor Robertson and Sam Sullivan have MUCH in common And another major piece [...]
In what can only be described as a Rex-ceptional piece, the meticulous and magnificent Mr. Murphy nails it. What is it that public service should be about? Honour. Instead, think about this roll call of political low-lifes: Hedy Fry, Joyce Murray, Libby Davies, Jason Kenny, Rod Bruinooge, Pat Martin, Mark Holland, Scott Brison, Jack Layton, Thomas [...]
Isn’t it something? The memory… How in some politicians, it’s the first thing to go? Raymond Louie finally came out for one of maybe four annual appearances since Gregor Roberston waxed him for Vision’s leadership. Neither man particularly likes the other, and Mr. Louie harbors a deep grudge for the tactics employed by the Mayor’s [...]
Many have asked why I include Michael Geller on my blog roll, since he is not a journalist, prominent blogger or member of the media. The answer is simple: He is the single most qualified candidate to run for office in Vancouver in fifty years. His body of work and knowledge, coupled with the his [...]
Think about how Vision Vancouver Parks Chair ‘Arrogant’ Jasper does business. In the last couple of days since his Board passed their Draconian outdoor smoking by-law, he has hit the airwaves and news outlets citing some pretty damning statistics about everything from second-hand smoke to lung damage to potential risk factors, etc. Problem being, that [...]
This is not an easy post to write. I quite like Patti Bacchus. She’s fun-loving, thoughtful and intelligent. I’ve been in social settings with her and she is incredibly personable. But she is her own worst enemy. When she was first elected in the fall of 2008, I stated then, that if she could not [...]
This morning, we’re greeted with the news that the Surrey Vaisakhi organizers have issued an apology. Before I get to the text of their efforts to make amends, let me tell you why this might be… Firstly, you can thank Surrey Mayor Dianne Megawatts for having the political fortitude and solid principles to stand up [...]
