morningbrew.jpgMorning Brew: Don't mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it.

Vancouver agencies call for boycott of accused prostitute killer's name Who are they talking about? Oh. Robert Pickton. Yeah, we should all stop saying Robert Pickton. Robert Pickton doesn't deserve to be glorified. Robert Pickton is not a celebrity. I wonder if he got picked on when he was a kid. Pickton, that is. Robert Pickton.

Vancouver architecture: Fewer Rules, Less Mediocrity? Don't Count on it.

No-fly list may ground thousands of Canadians. Yeah, brown ones.

Speaking of which... Almost half of Canadians polled admit to being at least slightly racist. No shit, we have succumbed to the culture of fear that permeates North America in order to make us better consumers.

Oh, I get it it: Warming up climate debate, ha! That is genius! Because, because...oh man. Because of global warming. Oh that kills me!

David Suzuki Park in Marpole?

Wireless and Wired in Vancity.

Vancouver's best ten restaurants. Um...you guys forgot Budgies.

Why doesn't Vancouver have an Apple store?

Sometimes I dream of going on a stabbing rampage, but a nagging wave of common decency and altruism comes over me.
