Morning Brew: June 11th

The Morning Brew switches hands once more. Bear with me this morning while things get back to the Sean and Jon kind of normal.

UNBC president quits over Victoria budget cuts. "Cozzetto could not be reached for comment, but Rix said he has sold his house and left Prince George." Yep, I'd use this as an excuse to leave Prince George too.

Vancouver is Canada's most fit city. Good news for when airline companies start doing this. As one of the comments reads: "I don't want to sit next to some guy in a speedo because he wants to save $4.50 from lessening his weight because he isn't wearing clothes to save money on his airfare."

Dion makes one misstep in bid to attract women's votes. Apparently, what I love about Dion is his awkwardness and vulnerability, and what I hate about Harper is his icy blue eyes. "Harper has made several women-friendly gestures, cutting the GST and doling out tax cuts for children in sports activities." Yeah, but we immediately withdrew our votes after we saw him wear this.

Peter Ladner beats Sam Sullivan in NPA race. To add insult to injury, instead of champagne being spouted by scantily clad tanorexics, Sullivan got this. Ahh, the Anti-Poverty Committee. What will they think of next?

The iPhone will officially come to Canada on July 11th. The Vancouver tech community just had a collective orgasm. Everyone else is going to be busy figuring out "slide to unlock" this summer.

Festival d'été francophone starts tomorrow. They do exist!

Check out Car Free Vancouver Day in your neighbourhood this Sunday the 15th. Fur Bearing Animals will be performing at the Main Street festival site, so here's your chance to see them for free!
