There was a day, during his time as MP for Vancouver Center, that the late Art Phillips made a remark which has stuck with me to this day. Listening to him speak to a throng of reporters post victory, (I had been co-opted to attend by my father–an almost dizzying supporter of Art’s when the [...]

Global warming huckster Al Gore recently sold his share in the far left leaning Current TV for a reported $100,000,000. He founded the station with his partner in grime, millionaire lawyer Joel Hyatt (founder of Hyatt Legal Services). The story never received any significant coverage in the liberal ravaged Canadian media. Mind, it’s tough getting [...]

Yesterday, you all saw, during a painfully over-staged press conference at VPD headquarters, Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu apologize for not apprehending Willie Pickton quickly and running the missing women’s investigation more efficiently. He then prominently repeated how in touch with the native aboriginal community the VPD had become. After the VPD was battered black [...]

All hail Ian Mulgrew of the Vancouver Sun. His exceptional piece in today’s paper is exactly what will come of the Oppal Report (due for release later today). None of it will change how many of the families of the victims feel. They are upset and disappointed. They have every right to be so aggrieved. [...]

In the ongoing saga of just how much destruction inside the VPD Chief Jim Chu can commit to, this afternoon in Vancouver city council chambers, you are highly likely to hear of what will surely amount to more morale-killing with members of the VPD. Chu is not unlike a plague of locusts, feeding off the [...]

I have a long standing rule. If it’s enough to make me uncomfortable; it’s definitely not for any child to see. Not mine, not yours. I don’t need to wince. Well before that, I know if an issue or speaker might be inappropriate for a child. It’s called having good judgment, and I’m exceedingly sorry [...]

I’m not sure whose playbook the federal Tories are following, but they must be tired of making plans to either suffer a loss in the next election or eke out a minority government. There is no other explanation. Yes, they’ve made some very good decisions generally (solid budget, strong commitment to law and order, etc) [...]

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, [...]
