Morning Brew: February 21st

Despite Pickton arrest, more women disappear. You thought everything was fine and dandy because we threw a PoCo pig farmer in jail?

Homeless Hell Hole Below Science World. But on the plus side there's a secret hatch under there that leads to the Imax theatre. So at least they can learn about frogs and stuff.

VANOC plans to stretch wrap idea. Games images will adorn everything from buildings to buses. 3M spokesman Barry Parkinson said the company has been requested to make at least one of the perforated, see-through plastic banners especially large, roughly the size of the Downtown Eastside.

We have lots of volunteers. Yeah, but are they perfect? I think not. Keep looking please.

Let's celebrate having the best skiing on earth. With so much negative news making the rounds these days, it's nice to know that others seem to appreciate our amazing province. Unlike some people we know. Look, just becuase you're poor doesn't mean you can't spend thousands of dollars on a weekend getaway to Whistler, I mean come on.

Global, CBC can refuse ads, judge tells Adbusters. But cry free speech anytime they want to publish some racist cartoons.

The health care monster continues to gobble up more budget dollars. Watch out kids! Beware the most foul of creatures. A beast wrapped in a mummy's bandages with the screech of an ambulance's siren, a stethoscope for an eye, thermometres for fingers, it will sneak up to you in the middle of the night and... and.... make you all better? "But health has been squeezing other services for years with no end in sight nor any great public outcry over the trend". Hmmm, that's becuase, as I looked up, as in up two paragraphs in your own fucking article, "The conversation found little appetite for any dramatic shift in the current balance between a mostly public system with some private care".

CKNW Poll. Will higher gas prices change your commuting habits?

Police on hunt for jewellery store thief. Once again, I'm amazed that these guys can steal an entire store. Does he keep it in the same location? Or does he move it? I'm so intrigued.

Mountie pants stolen. We're concerned that someone may try to impersonate an RCMP officer. Why? Did they steal a taser too?

Bureaucrats forget weed's influence on art world. That's because their short term memory is like gone bro.

If you're a total nerd like me, you'll be glued to the new BC Legislation Portal! Finally, internet porn for policy wonks.
