Morning Brew: August 7th. Get Intimate.

Rising temperatures lower air quality across B.C. Nah, we're just getting in the Olympic Spirit.

Peak oil pundits perplexed by reality. Falling prices do not fit into the theories of those who argue that world production is in irreversible decline. Yeah maybe, or maybe the market is so fucking volatile that the recent craze in biofuels has just meant that rich cunts are in investing in that a little bit more and we can postpone the bubble until we discover some miracle mother load of oil under the Arctic.

Fuck it. Let's build an awesome highway that connects all the islands to Vancouver.

Reviving the dream. Has the Province just given up? This editorial is like some bored real estate agent's Tumblr. What are they actually saying? That if its a sellers market, its good for the seller, but if its a buyer's market, then its good for the buyer? I feel like I'm kindergarten. Did you mean to write this but accidentally take way too many bars of xanax?

Then again, people who read the Province are also likely to put quotation marks around the words mentally ill. What is it, global warming? Is it some sort of theory that hasn't been actually proven yet?

In other news...
