Taxpayers get say on $18m transit levy. Meaning they get to be told why there needs to be a $18m transit levy.

Sullivan vs. Ladner, round one: 'When Sullivan solved the homeless problem, Ladner was nowhere to be seen'. How you gonna trump that one Pete? He's got you there. Check mate.

City needs to push the envelope to stay on top. Or just put a return address on it.

Fired from The Courier. CanWest finally realizes they were paying Kevin Potvin to write for them. I called it when they fired Ballard.

While Ferguson really outdoes himself with this eco-rant. "If the salmon don't come back, but the warmer waters teem with different, "exotic" species, help the fishing industry adapt. If seawater threatens to inundate Delta, don't raise the carbon tax, raise the dykes". If the Queen Charlottes sink, make it an underwater attraction. If we can't afford to drive our cars over newly twinned bridges, hire some homeless people as rickshaws. Retarded old men get paid for failing to realize that losing a salmon run doesn't mean that we'll all of a sudden have a thriving marlin industry because all systems are intricately related, start Morning Brew to poke enourmous holes in their fragile, anthropocentric world views.

Is Pete McMartin trying to insult everyone? Or is it just second nature?

They also won't boycott the Olympics. Because we all know that the Olympics are way more important than actual people.

Not a Bad Night for Grits, only for the pundits. Man, I hate pundits. I hope I never grow up to be a pundit. The only good pundit is a dead pundit. What's a pundit?

Is the VPD trying to tell us (the media) something?. Cute.

Why can't Vancouver party like Austin? Is that a trick question?

Credit Check: "Now officially ex-folk singer Jewel has offered to sacrifice the very last shred of her celebrity for a BC power plant. It feels so 10 years overdue, but R.I.P. Jewel's celebrity. It was a real fighter"

Personal Praxis: is our quest for happiness and the uber-life creating a crappy world? I love that Nancy is a money coach!
