Morning Brew: Post Canada

Posted by Sean / July 2, 2009

070209_mb.jpgWas it just me or was that the most patriotic Canada Day ever? Is it the recession or something?The war? Tone it down a little guys.

Shelter fuss exposes amateurs. Would that be the people living next to those shelters? Those people suck at living in a city.

Hunt is on for heiress who's gone missing from Vancouver's streets. But whom we only realised was missing when there was a large sum of money involved.

Go east young man: Assaults skyrocket in frustrated neighbourhood. Hmmm, weird, assaults have actually decreased downtown. Why would that be?

Will security cameras become an Olympic legacy? Are you asking me? Oh, um, yes. Yes they will. Did I get the answer right?

Mounties appealing decision on Taser inquiry. Why don't you try appealing to the public whose trust you've destroyed instead? Just an idea.

Credit Check: +1 "The LA Times has discovered the Metro Vancouver gang war. The lesson to be learned: stay out of Abbotsford". Oh you don't need a gang war as an excuse to stay out of Abbotsford. Randy White should suffice.

BC Conservative leader resigns. Damn you big 'C'!!!

Abortion clinic 'bubble zone' terminates free speech. I have neither the wherewithal nor the patience to wade into this debate, but are pro-choicers allowed to protest at the entrance of a church? That's not a rhetorical question, I really don't know. Alternate caption: Why don't you ever see pro-lifers protesting funerals?

Put Vancouver on a low-car diet

You know what Vancouver really needs? A reality show about throwing an awesumm party on the Granville Strip! I am of course, being sarcastic.

Instead, our friends over at Winnie Cooper made started Winnie TV.

when are you going to start giving proper credit for the photo you use on your site (for free). You did at least put the photographer's name at the end of each article. Now you are taking liberties with people who make your site worth visiting... by just using the word "image" at the end of each article.... Was it so much work for you to post a couple of names and a link that you automated the link??? Solution: Each photo you use should link to the person's flickr site, in a new window. AND a mouse over on any photo should reveal the photographer's name. UNTIL this is changed - I'm deleting all my photos on your flickr site.

Thanks for your concern, however they were my own images.

This is up there with the best comment thread on a Morning Brew ever. And that's saying a lot.
