And the hits just keep on comin’… A confidential source with the Vancouver Police Department confirmed for me late this evening that Penny Ballem, the most dreaded and despised City Manager in Vancouver’s history, has told the VPD that there will be a hiring freeze. In fact, Penny Ballem’s directive regarding budgeting included that the [...]

The media ‘hit list’ leaked to me by a Vision insider, appalled no shortage of news directors/editors/producers etc. Thus far, I’ve heard from six, urging me to get my source to allow the tape to be released or at least get him to allow for some kind of interview, even if it’s with his identity [...]

In a joint ‘Breaking News’ piece with the boys over at citycaucus.com we’ve uncovered YET ANOTHER, no-bid, no-tender contract that Dr. Penny Bellam and the Mayor of Vancouver are right smack in the middle of. Is there no end to the lies these two will tell the public about fiscal prudence? Linda Oglov was paid [...]

We’ve established here, many times over, that the immigration system in this blessed country, is broken and in desperate need of repair. If it’s not murderous street-racing thugs dancing through deportation for eight years, or some liar pretending he’s a conscientious objector, who’s sick and will be tortured back home; it’s terrorist-backed human smuggling operations–the [...]

Since I’ve spent the last few days introducing you to a couple of other behind the scenes players with Vision Vancouver and how they mindlessly shovel for the radical agenda they’ve hobbled the city with, I thought I’d peel back the curtain and give you a glimpse of a big shot, too. Enter Marcella Munro–sourpuss, [...]

Well, wonder never cease… Almost fifty people in a quaint little pub on Main Street. Big smiles, happy people. This is in no small part to Vision’s self-inflicted radicalism costing them their relationship with the media (and the public). But you have to give the NPA credit where credit is due. NPA celebrities like Ian [...]

Some days there is just no shortage of material, and then, to add to the pile–a beauty, a pure nugget, provided by someone who should really know better. Meet Stepan Vdovine (and I thought Tsakumis was tough to pronounce!). Mr. Vdovine is a young fellow who voluntarily drinks the Vision Vancouver bathwater, a stadium full [...]

So there I was last Friday, having lunch with my old pal Tony Parsons–celebrating the Italian festival of Ferragosto, when the whirring of my iPhone interrupted another slow pour of grappa. There it was, a splendid afternoon with a great friend, yet interrupted by work. Argh! I ignored the buzzing beacon as much as I could, [...]

Fresh from the CKNW Newsroom: AUG252010 NPA COUNCILLOR SUZANNE ANTON SAYS THE MAYOR’S ALREADY ISOLATED. IN FACT SHE SAYS COUNCILLORS DON’T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO WALK FREELY INTO HIS OFFICE…. “He (the Mayor) has a closed door in his own offices so you can’t just walk in and just chat and that’s very unusual and that’s certainly [...]

Remember, if you will, how just a few years ago we were being bombarded with stories about how the salmon run in British Columbia was rapidly diminishing due to global warming. One of the more mindless of the Kennedys flew up here and started about how the planet was in peril and lo and behold, [...]
