“Of course, not being well-connected with the local terrorist cells, it’s difficult to put a price tag on the amount of TNT needed to bring about a far better solution for the former and future home of the B.C. Lions and Whitecaps”.

Man, you are a sports writer. Joking about terrorism in the second paragraph of an article about a stupid stadium doesn’t make you sound witty.

Glenn Beck’s propaganda spreading to Canada. Pardon? Not sure if you noticed, but we’ve had a fat, creepy cowboy as Prime Minister for a while now. The dude believes in the devil. It’s 2010 and our leader actually believes that there’s a little red guy poking bad people with a little pitchfork after they die…

And in the latest turn in the roller coaster ride that is BC politics: Basi and Virk plead guilty in BC Rail Case. Now, I’m no expert or anything, but doesn’t it seem like a breach of justice that someone can just plead guilty 7 years after charges were laid in one of the most publicized police raids ever? Did Basi/Virk forget what they were there for? “Oh, what? Shit. Sorry…yeah, I totally did that, oops”.

Perhaps its more about this: Campbell approval rating lowest of any BC premier ever. At this point, Campbell could kill and eat a Jewish baby and still get re-elected. Meanwhile James Risks All by playing nice.

‘We Have A Very Serious Problem With Inequality‘. It’s weird, but apparently not everybody has an iPhone. I know, it’s bonkers…
