Like the empty beer bottle that rolls off the lap of a drunk on a street corner and lies aimless, semi-prone on the gutter grill, so too have the BC Conservatives. And I gather they would prefer you not know… Why? Well, it’s a sad repetitive process that just seems to grip the loons in [...]

Let me tell you a very, very, very sad story. In a previous life I went out with an exceptionally fine Indo-Canadian gal. She was a Sikh. We studied at UBC together. Loved going to the movies. Took frequent trips to Seattle for weekends. Took super-long walks. It was wonderful. Though, it wasn’t just the [...]

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, [...]

I recently spent some time recalling what it was like to watch a Premier fall. I was young, but experienced, and it still stunned me. It’s quiet a demeaning process. The man falls and so do so many around him. But it;s the people who suffer the greatest humiliation. It’s the people who I worried [...]

There are no words to describe how well below contempt The Premier of this province remains. The merry band of business leaders that placed their legal challenge at the eleventh hour are nothing more than the agents of Gordon Campbell, simply doing his bidding. Colin Hansen, once again, only makes matters worse for himself by [...]

Bridgitte Anderson, Premier Gordon Campbell’s shadow for the last many years has landed at top-ranked Crofton House School. In a release sent late yesterday by well-respected educator and Crofton Head, Dr. Patricia Dawson, Ms. Anderson is introduced as the new Director of Marketing and Communications. This is a sure sign that the Premier is on [...]

And this is precisely why the NDP could very well lose the next election no matter what the polls say. A twelve year-old boy in Nanaimo is a stick-up artist.  He’s been booked dozens upon dozens of times by the Nanaimo RCMP and has a list of over 100 (!!!) run ins with the law. [...]

Please join me in extending heartfelt congratulations to my former 24 Hours colleague Bill Tieleman, BC Conservative leader Chris Delaney and my old boss and good friend Bill VanderZalm. The commitment they showed in delivering the will of the people to the steps of the legislature in Victoria is one of the most awe-inspiring SUCCESSFUL [...]

In case you missed it, the feds and province were front and center today announcing funding for some of the deteriorating tanks at the Vancouver Aquarium–among other assistance (which is wonderful news to those of us who strongly support VanAqua). The Prime Minister is also in town today for a BBQ at the ranch of [...]

I don’t know how anyone couldn’t see this coming. Remember this? And this? Fonyo has managed to run afoul of the law AGAIN. But he’s an alcoholic…who has a couple of beers now and again…no big deal… But he’s a nice man…who pounded on a former landlord giving the man dozens of stitches and permanent [...]
