Morning Brew: Don't, Dad.

Premier shops around for expensive theme. "One is reminded of a wayward dad, trying to buy back the love of his family by writing cheques". Just stop hitting us in the face when you're drunk on Pina Coladas.

Premier shifts, and the optics aren't good. Dad tries to make everything better, but he's wearing that ridiculous Hawaiian t-shirt and you can't take him seriously. Also, he's got some mayo (egg) on his moustache (face).

Where's Dona? Conservative Surrey North candidate Dona Cadman has gone missing as reporters try to get answers. Maybe she had to go and save the economy. Apparently you can call timeout now.

Nasty words VANOC banned. "The official My Games Training manual includes a list of forbidden terms such as cripple, spastic, lunatic, crazy, nuts, retarded, idiot and mongoloid". Yeah, there's no way you should call anybody who's actually retarded a retard, but what if you want to call someone who isn't a retard, but who is acting like one? I mean, keep in mind, there are going to be a lot of American tourists at the games.

If Landlords Renovate, Must You Vacate? Well, at the very least you should through a raging party. Maybe hire this dude.

Spencer Herbert is calling out the Vancouver Aquarium for donating tickets to the provincial Liberals. Something smells fishy.

What Strange Bedfellows Mr. Tsakumis and Ms. Reimer Make. This is why you'll never be nominated for council. This isn't highscool. Grow up.
