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 [...]

As I suspected, Vision Vancouver swept to victory last night and the single most dangerous man ever to be elected Mayor is returned for another three years. The latest polls about Suzanne Anton closing the gap were meaningless. As I will show you below, Vision Vancouver have found a formula to win, and they won’t [...]

Last week, when the ‘Mayor Moonbeam’ video was pulled from YouTube, I called the licence holder of the tune ‘Mr. Sandman’ (made a huge hit in 1954 by ‘The Chordettes’. I wanted to know why they pulled it. It turns out that they had no idea about the video–and let’s face it, it would have [...]

It is an invariable disappointment to read Pete McMartin’s column in the Vancouver Sun this morning. To be brutally frank, based on its steady incoherence I must wonder aloud how such an error-riddled piece left the editor’s desk. I have long been an advocate of editors not only being responsible for orthographical nudges, but reality [...]

Summer afternoons are for watching your children frolic in the surf or play in the sand. They aren’t for jarring reminders of how cold and cutting life can be. As I opened the National Post on an early August afternoon in 2010  and began reading about the murder of Cortes Island artist Stefano Savioli, a rapid [...]

I don’t usually do public appearances as it ends up being about me and not the event. Certainly, there are members of the press or media that have much higher profiles and great star power. I’m not one of them because I have worked awfully hard to ensure I can have dinner at a restaurant [...]

There is no possible way to describe my utter disgust and total contempt for the ‘Occupy Vancouver’ movement–my rapidly growing disgust and contempt–but I’ll surely try. Not only have they wasted everyone’s time with whining, complaining and a total lack of answers to problems we all acknowledge and are concerned about, but they have committed [...]

Not four days ago we were treated to the following quote by the Mayor of Vancouver: As told to several media outlets, this one verbatim, from CKWX News 1130: “Well, there is actually something being done; we’ve got people from the city negotiating with the organizers (of ‘Occupy Vancouver’) and we’re trying to come to [...]

In the last three years, every major decision Suzanne Anton has committed to while on council has been anchored in no less murky, enviro-fascist water than the one Vision Vancouver ably navigates. Anton has never once supported a reasonable initiative, instead choosing to hop aloft the Vision eco-nasty bandwagon and financially enslave Vancouverites to the [...]

The last week saw more upheaval for the beleaguered Non-Partisan Association’s campaign to unseat Gregor Robertson and Vision Vancouver. A phone call was made by a prominent NPA candidate to a senior member of the campaign team, that warned of a major, all-out revolt if NPA council candidate Mike Klassen was not reigned in. It [...]
