As you’ve read here before I am against the ‘dead-baby story’, which many news outlets find the perfect lead at six o’clock. But in the case little Clare Shelswell the story just broke my heart. This vicious bastard step-father should be granted NO MERCY. Disciplining a kid? Sure thing. I’ve swatted the backsides of all [...]

Six years ago, one very early morning, I was sitting in the lobby bar of the Sheraton Guilford waiting for a friend to meet me for breakfast. It was a fairly sunny late summer day and I was on my way to Scottsdale on business that afternoon. I hadn’t a minute to waste and was [...]

It was all very strange….only to turn ugly… I dreamt that I attended a special AGM that the NPA had called in order to mindlessly navel-gaze once again. It was supposed to be a revival.

This is, of course, as I stated earlier, no surprise to me. I took painstaking efforts to look at the deals he was involved in, [...]

After being pounded by Global TV with back to back stories about questionable expenditures and no bid contracts to friends and insiders, Vision Vancouver’s puppet, Mayor Gregor Robertson ends the week with even more egg on his face. Say hello to the top reporter at Vancouver 24hours, Bob Mackin. Bob’s written a superb piece on [...]

If you’ve been watching the EXCEPTIONAL coverage Global TV is doing on Silly Hall this week, you of course saw a SUPERB piece of work done by our friends over at citycaucus.com. First out of this week’s gate, Mike Klassen broke the news on Penny Ballem’s and Gregor Robertson’s refusal to furnish taxpayers with the [...]

How many times have you heard the below? From any of: Gordon Campbell, Bill Good, Gregor Robertson, Dr. Andrew Weaver, Jim Hoggan, Richard Littlemore, David Suzuki, Srephane Dion, Scott Brison, Mark Holland, Andrea Reimer, Geoff Meggs and, of course, Al Gore…the list of dimbells on this issue is seemingly endless. “The science on global warming [...]
