While Canadian tourist Martin to be tried on Monday in Mexico. Ironically enough, if she's found guilty she'll have to work at the same place they make the Skytrains. So then her daughter can be really proud when she rides on the new cars.

Another mass car keying incident, this time in Vancouver. We have a serial keyer on the loose I tell you! A serial keyer! (In the voice of Tim Meadows)

Let's hope this brave new experiment in public toilets is no busted flush. "Last week, I came across one of the splashiest new additions to downtown Vancouver's urban landscape: A high-tech, self-cleaning public lavatory at the corner of Main Street and Terminal Avenue, at the edge of the Downtown Eastside". Last week I ventured out of my tight knit group of small-dicked semi retarded male cohorts, away from the graphite clubs and trophy wife of my secured neighbourhood in PoCo , into the dark edges of a vast and sprawling wasteland of drugs and dammed souls known only as the D.T.E.S.. But seriously, isn't this a story from like a couple of years ago?

They laid down for homelessness. Because homeless people are either always drunk or just having a nap.

Ottawa must protect valley residents from aircraft noise. Man, when is the Province just going to call itself The Valley?

Tectonic Revelation: "We're due for something unprecedented that no one could've predicted. An earthquake isn't exotic enough. It's time for something really big…like, maybe, a new volcano".

Electric cars might get the green light in BC. There is still a lot of science that we don't know yet.

I think there's just a lot of hysteria or market driven forces at work here that is dominating the issue.

30 Days of Sustainability: kick off April 22nd in Vancouver.

I was one of the people who "laid down for homelessness" - go easy on us! It's one aspect of living outside. I don't know that I could be convinced to stand in line for food or use the bathrooms at Main ... this is the best I could do in a feeble attempt!

Sorry, it wasn't directed at you. More towards the Civil City by-law that makes it illegal to lie down and whatnot.
