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 [...]

While you’re reading this (yes, I know, Presto! piece on the way) Premier Clark will be, once again, taking credit for something she has absolutely nothing to do with. She’s at Kitsilano High School–one of the better high schools in the Lower Mainland, to announce that there will be a new school and it’ll be [...]

Deep in the respective bowels (where else?!) of both the Vision Vancouver and NPA campaigns, the genius platoons have presumptively decided the outcome of the upcoming Vancouver municipal election. Not to bore you further with the snoregasm that is each campaign, however: Vision Vancouver has already accepted that COPEsters Tim Louis, Ellen Woodsworth and the [...]

I’m all for civil protest. It’s what defeated the HST in this province. It’s what responsible citizens do when their governments don’t listen. But this ‘Occupy’ movement is little more, for now, than a bunch of unwashed, smelly, tie-dyed, unsavory degenerates and reprobates. That Jim Sinclair and his unions pals have seen fit to endorse [...]
