Morning Brew: January 8th

Har har! Your medium is dying.

Just to rub in the fact that they can't put a roof over homeless peoples' heads, Campbell is putting a roof over Robson.

While the Penthouse at Ritz Carlton will cost $28-million. Fuck it. I don't believe in nothing anymore. I'm going to law school.

Human-rights talk sullies virtues of Games: Emerson. So wait, let me get this straight, you're looking to China on ways to deal with Olympic controversies? Um, does anybody else find that terrifying?

Drunk enough to pass out and be dragged outside to freeze to death = not drunk enough for the drunk tank.

BC's Broccoli Minister Owns Piece of Pizza Chain. I have no idea what any of that means but I think its pretty rad that the minister responsible for stemming obesity is named Hogg.

Hey! I didn't know we could blame all these avalanches on Global Warming too! Thanks Vancouver Sun!

While the Province does what it does best, complains about taxes and the environment, at the same time. You know, because they're looking out for the little guy. Meanwhile, it now costs 10 dollars a day to commute from Surrey.

Mayor's office seeks park board cuts. Whatever, parks are suuuper boring.

Parents line up for space in Yaleotown kindergarten. Solution? Cut space elsewhere. Read: eastwards.

Another east side gallery closes shop. R.I.P Gaff Gallery. I don't know the details on this but I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the City anyways.

Vancouver publisher Raincoast cuts domestic publishing. I'm also going to blame this in the City. Because I can.

The ugliest?
