There are no words to describe my disgust with VPD Chief Chu. Morale at an all time low…..’Porngate’…..the pussification of an entire department…..officers in complete depression…..the missing women’s inquiry revelations…..Penny Ballem barking orders during the Stanley Cup playoffs and the accompanying cover-up…..and of course, the riot, which could have been totally preventable if the Vancouver [...]

The rumblings in the blue corridor on Cambie are getting progressively louder–and for good reason. Remember, if you will, when some internal Stanley Cup riot documents were leaked to radio station CKNW. Specifically, the document(s) confirming the information which you read on this blog days earlier: the number of police on the ground, battalion preparedness, [...]

There is trouble in paradise, or so says a senior city hall executive. As incredible as it may sound, Penny Ballem, the Gregor Robertson hand-picked, hamfisted city manager may be on the chopping block. Apparently, there is some kind of discord between her and a few of her understudies, possibly including Dave McLellan, or Hollyhock disciple [...]

The world became an even more fragile place in 2011. Good didn’t often trump evil. We endured war, pestilence, disease, murder, uprisings, Charlie Sheen and Kim Kardashian–since we’re to include all major disasters, even the insignificant ones. Well, you know what I mean… Picking the top news stories of the year wasn’t easy. There were [...]

Here’s clear proof of how much of a complete flipping moron I can be…. Last week, I attended a Park Board all-candidates meeting at the Kerrisdale Community Center. It’s where I lived most of my life was partly educated, where my kids go to school, where I work, so I figured I should hear about [...]

MAYOR: ANTON, SUZANNE (NPA): I have been most critical of Suzanne over the years. She deserved every bit of it. Her penchant for acting selfishly–when the most successful politicians are TEAM players; her inability to understand or comprehend the damage an “environmentalist” has in the real world; her distance from reality when it comes to fiscal [...]

UPDATE: OCCUPEST ERADICATION TO BEGIN AT 6AM TOMORROW MORNING. Bring the popcorn… SECOND UPDATE: Chief Chu has instructed his force to stand down. Despite the original order of all the off-duty members to attend tomorrow morning–in uniform and in ready gear, Justice Anne Mackenzie (yes, of Basi-Virk fame) has provided the scumbags reprieve so the [...]

If this is some effort by City Caucus to redeem themselves, then they should consider themselves on the way….the NPA claims it’s not theirs, but the production quality cost a good amount of money, including the music, singers and visuals. No question. And since City Caucus is always claiming poverty and Mike Klassen can’t pay [...]

While I’m writing this, I’ve just finished listening to shades of the 2009 provincial election….. Just like former premier Campbell did when he was consistently lying through the last provincial election and pretending all was well in La-La Land, Gregor Robertson has spent the morning on the Vanilla Man’s radio show demonstrating what happens when [...]

Far from the exoneration of Cervantes in ‘The Man From La Mancha’ this ‘Date Report’ story that has NPA’s candidate Jason Lamarche’s fledgling political career deep in the toilet won’t have a Sancho Panza handing out the songsheets to ‘The Impossible Dream’. Lamarche is finished and if the NPA don’t watch themselves, they’ll go from [...]
