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 [...]

You really have to hand it to City Caucus. Self-revealed as the launching pad for Mike Klassen’s political career (read: full-on, public disgrace) they used the media for three years to put a totally unqualified man within reach of a council spot. This is after pointing out the lack of qualifications of the current lot. [...]

Not long ago, a reader sent me a link to a City Caucus blog post wherein the boys always making white noise were going after the Mayor’s main media dove Kevin Quinlan. It was late and I was too tired to read The Economist (which I got around to this afternoon) so I risked my [...]

Think about this: The former Vice-President of the United States is en route. Forget that in this case it was Dick Cheney. Without going into additional specifics you would be privy to if you were the Vancouver Chief of Police….. Vice-President Cheney was the second most powerful man in the world for eight of the [...]

When is the last time you’ve ever seen a more embarrassing spectacle? The Chief of police is so busy spinning blame in every other direction except where it should primarily rest: In his lap; with him. He was the one to make grand pronouncements about preparedness. He was the one to discount the chances of [...]

It’s just incredible that Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu continues to lie about what he knew and what his force didn’t know going into the Game 7 riot. Have a look, here. A superb bit of sleuthing by BC’s top investigative journalist Bob Mackin, has proved, once again, how Chief Chu is just making it [...]

I never liked Tim Louis. That’s not hard to do. Mr. Louis is an intractable, selfish, doctrinaire politician, who is a very unpleasant man to almost anyone outside his circle. When he was compared to Harry Rankin in a Vancouver Sun article yesterday, I thought either the writer didn’t know my old friend Harry (neither [...]

I’ll let you decide. Well, not really… Tomorrow, Suzanne Anton will stand in front of a throng of cameras and thousands of people while theme from ‘Evita’ blares in the background. The crowd will sway hither and thither, the skies will part and angels will sing from the Heavens. Upright will be rabid federal Liberal [...]
