Dear Friends: It’s my distinct honour to welcome broadcasting legend Rafe Mair to the show this evening. Rafe is a good friend, who was kind enough to appear and touch on everything from the HST to the environment to government finances to the Premier’s chances of winning the next election. You will enjoy his articulate [...]

I thought I’d be swifter in completing the outstanding pieces, but the BC Rail magnum opus is taking up most of my time (you can look forward to that Tuesday of next week). For now, a run through of The Globe and Mail and The Province yielded some nuggets: 1) A Canucks player (I was [...]

Offered liberally across TWITter and facebook, plus beamed from the baritone boombox that is the incomparable Jon McComb today is that this morning, on ‘The Bill Good Show’ there will be a big announcement. ‘Huge’, is the word I believe they are using. Well, a little hyperbole goes a long way sometimes. But a lot [...]

I vividly recall how as a young lad I was bemused by signs on the bridges into Vancouver that read: ‘Nuclear Free Zone’. I kept thinking that no self-respecting nutbar despot, with sure long-range capabilities, would heed such proclamations. Mike Harcourt used to relish in bringing citizens attention to such lunacy–until it was pointed out [...]

It’s a time honoured tradition for cheaters: Cut every corner, tell any lie, jump every fact and you stand a good chance to win. I’m not sure what will happen when the ‘HST’ ballots are counted. I think that regardless of the final tally, as a result of it being a sure close win to [...]

I remember, all too well, in the final stages of a friend’s life, how the cancer made his appearance so very dramatically change. Gone was the hearty, steady jaw, and strong set eyes, replaced with what reminded me of my grandfather years earlier, as he lay in what became his death bed at old Shaughnessy [...]

Some of you claim to have missed the show and have asked for a link. Apologies, I usually have it up by Saturday night, post-show, but was truly trying to relax (which didn’t work, perhaps next weekend). It was a privilege to interview precious metals aficionado and silver speculator David Morgan. A super interviewee, I [...]

Hope, it is often said, springs eternal. In the opus of the abortion frenzy, set to the, then, mellifluous tones of the womyn’s movement some forty years ago, was a collective voice from the pacifists of the day, who believed, as they still do, that among other marvelous results, abortion would reduce crime. It was [...]

I’m taking the weekend off to recharge and catch-up on the posts I owe you (including killer pieces on Joel Solomon and Mike deJong, plus more Christy). Truth be told, I’m exhausted and need three days to relax, too. I know many of you have been warning me not to burn out (two weeks ago [...]

Isn’t it rich? The irony is rather thick and weepy, you must admit. Gordon Campbell’s high commissioned derriere is parked so close to major scandal that I wonder if the perspiration has withered  from his brow. Mind, this would require a conscience in the first instance. Not blocks from Mr. Campbell’s new office, the Prime [...]
