Morning Brew: March 15th

Morning Brew: Beware the Ides of March (Happy Birthday Dad)

Blogged Out: "The trolls, the constant attacks: in the beginning, you live off that. It's almost fun. But after awhile it turns something that was fun into something tedious..."

I'm beginning to understand. Seriously Craig, I can't be that fascinating.

Why Translink was actually gutted: "What irked Falcon and the rest was the lengthy, and at times, tortuous debate over the RAV Line (now the Canada Line) and specifically whether it should proceed as a "P3," a public-private partnership."

While Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC) and Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (BEST) offer free plate of pancakes and scrambled tofu to riders passing through the Commercial Drive and Broadway station as a way to reward transit users and highlight the aforementioned Translink coup.

The kids are ok. (Maybe less kids in jail means there's less kids?)

Just as long as they're not poor as a bylaw making it illegal to lie down or sit down on the streets is part of Sullivan's Project Civil City.

Perhaps prompting the VPD to get a three-ton, bullet-and-small explosives-proof armoured vehicle, which Chief Constable Jamie Graham said is part of preparations for the 2010 Olympics. I just hope they didn't buy it from the US Army.

Vision Vancouver tried and failed at the civic level. "Now Vancouver-Mt. Pleasant NDP MLA Jenny Kwan is doing her best to get a moratorium on conversions of single-room occupancy (SRO) hotels until after the city hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics". I'm sure Jamie Lee Hamilton will be doing her best to obfuscate the issue.

Olympics organizers refuse to divulge funding details. Yeah, really sounds like an attempt to become more transparent with our media.

Meanwhile, the Downtown Vancouver BIA call on pro-Olympic protesters to protest the protests."Mascot and clock unveiling ceremonies sound like fun (we can't imagine why), but flag illumination ceremonies? Worthless events like that serve as nothing more than protest baiting."

Maybe this guy can go and be the only one "with more than 2 brain cells". (Maybe we're shouting because you've got you won't listen. I mean them. Those mouth-breathing protesters. Not me. I have at least 4 brain cells.

Global warming is driving the need for a gondola to connect Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains Yeah, maybe we can come up with a whole series of interconnected gondolas strung between each peak that still has snow!
