Morning Brew: September 21st

The Expressive Liberty of Beggars. What a beautiful title for a policy report about panhandling.

Vancouver city council nixes ultimate fighting. No fun city strikes again. They probably would have banned the feeding of christians to lions, spoil sports.

What a difference a couple of years makes: The Vancouver Kid looks back at the Sun's glowing recommendation of Sam Sullivan.

NPA fast tracks its incumbents. Ha ha Ladner!

But GetMoving BC is only six people, and two of them are my parents. "Contrasted with the strong group of well-informed anti-Gateway callers and a clear sense of Gateway 40's growing momentum as a region-wide coalition, getmovingbc seemed, well, kind of pathetic".

Anti-Gateway rally. Man, the Gateway is starting to sound like some controversial project to open a dormant worm hole at the edge of the solar system to help strengthen intergalactic trade.

Credit Check: - 4 Replanting all the trees that have been devastated by BC's pine beetle infestation would take an estimated 1,300 years, but surely by then Jesus will have come back to save us. Everyone will just be like "meh, trees are sooo pre-salvation."

Greens target meat production. Finally someone is talking about the disastrous effects that meat has on the environment. By the way, good luck campaigning in Alberta.

Straight music choices baffling. Man, almost all the answers in that survey are baffling. Vancouver is overrun by slack jawed bridge and tunnelers who think Ikea is culture.
