Tea & Two Slices: Float Planes & The Future Of Neighbourhoods

424623350_b94e744ebd_b

by Sean Orr | BR writer Farhan Devji likes Nickelback but didn’t like their numerous references to alcohol and drugs. Wow, it took a lot sooner for BR to spiral into a weird first-year-english-student-minoring-in-religious-studies blog than I thought it would.

Residents take dead aim at float planes. Whoa sweet, you can do that?

“The Coal Harbour Residents’ Association wants the city to refuse a two-year extension application to allow float planes to operate in front of their homes”. Also, I moved in right next to the Steam Clock but now the noise drives me crazy and the steam ruins my view. Is there anyway we can kill that too?

New report recommends 30-kilometre-per-hour speed limit for Vancouver’s Hastings Street. That’s right. Slow down and see the misery unfold in front of your eyes like it was in slow motion. Lock your doors, sit back, and fucking cruise.

  1. Oh Sean, how easy it must be for you to heep scorn on your former employer from afar. You used that place as your personal soap box and now they’re trying for a diversity of opinion and you just throw stones.

    Seriously with you on the liking Nickelback thing. WTF?

    I just see the cattiness as unnecessary.

    Ah well. Live goes on: with Sean Orr or not.

  2. Nickleback is weak.

    Viewing ‘celebrities as role models’ is weak.

    But here is the thing, isn’t slagging BR over and over again a bit weak as well?

    We all know you have a history with BR and obviously you hold considerable bitterness toward them, so why do you insist on drawing attention to them? Stand back. Look at the picture objectively. If you think they are going downhill – let them slide away. Rise above it.

    You offer interesting social commentary – move beyond robson. We’re all waiting to see what you can really do.
