I’m uncertain as to whether it has occurred to Gordon Campbell, but he can no longer talk about the NDP being the only liars while in government.
I wasn’t terribly surprised by the provincial number crunching: It was a simple shell game that included, in no particular order; giving back what was only taken away last [...]

On the weekend, I happened to be on the east side of the city with my son. We went to lunch at a favorite Chinese restaurant of his called Lok’s on East Hastings (a very eclectic palate for an 8-year old!). The food is wonderful and the prices are unbeatable. On our way through town [...]

A source close to provincial cabinet has confirmed that the Hon. Bill Bennett, Minister of Community and Rural Development is seriously considering leaving the provincial government to run as the Conservative candidate in Kootenay-Columbia. The current MP for that riding, the well-liked and highly-respected Jim Abbott, has already announced that he will not be seeking [...]

Some time ago, I read in the Province newspaper of how Vancouver Police Department Chief Constable Jim Chu had announced that the VPD were going to toe a soft line on protesters. I thought then, as is confirmed now, that when you make these kinds of incredibly stupid, politically-correct statements, they come back to haunt you.

There was a necessity for redemption, until about the magical moment Rick Hansen entered the Olympic opening ceremonies; I thought we might have repaired ourselves in the eyes of Canadians. Might.
You’ll notice I mention, CANADIANS. For there cannot be an objective opinion which will resonate that the opening ceremonies were anything but pandering, cliché accommodation [...]

I received a very pleasant note from an official with General Electric yesterday afternoon. She was extremely pleasant, very polite and incredibly helpful.

In the fallout from the January 21st dismissal of nationally recognized and highly respected Vancouver Chief Electrical Inspector, Ark Tsisserev, are some very compelling reasons to believe the endless accusations that Vision Vancouver have allowed City Manager Penny Ballem, who they hired just over a year ago without an open process, to politicize the city [...]

Contrary to some other reporters and bloggers, let me help in dispelling the persistent rumours about the most important trial in this province’s history.
There will be NO plea bargain. I do not know why this continues to circulate. It started with some speculation by a Globe and Mail reporter some weeks back. Then it spread [...]

I’m not sure what to think about the latest police crimes.  In the last ten years, it’s become clear to me that these guys and gals in blue are suffering from some indeterminable stress disorder that is causing them to drink and drive; beat defenseless, law-abiding citizens; go Taser-happy; collect evidence without rhyme or reason; [...]

This is in honour of all of you who will be responsible for paying for the 2010 Games. In particular, those of you who are elderly or poor or school children or drug-addicted or mentally-challenged or adult autistics or ambulance paramedics or generally either in need, underprivileged or manipulated by the Government of the Province [...]
