by Sean Orr | Surrey mayor Dianne Watts won’t run for Liberal leadership. “Cites family reasons for her decision”. Aww, and here I was hoping for another Rita Johnson. Damn, she’s smarter than she…um…than the city that she represents…uh…not how she looks. It’s nothing to do with that.

B.C. hospitals using beds for homeless. Fuck, why not? I mean, they’re sick anyways, right? Am I right? Hint: no.

Police delete video of shooting. I had no idea The Kamloops Daily News was such a bastion of radical thought: “The shooting was clearly unjustified, just another example of the police-state mentality that grips this entire country”.

Oh, and for anyone that decries violent protests like the G20 in Toronto, do a quick google search to see if you can find this anywhere in the local media: Downtown Eastsiders to take a mock SRO to Pt. Grey for High Tea in Vancouver. It simply is not there. CKNW, News1130, CBC, 24Hours, The Metro, Global, CTV, The Province, The Sun…nowhere.

Instead: No one will ever know why Island woman wasn’t wearing pants when she crashed into another vehicle. It seems The Province is adapting to the so-called “death of print” by seamlessly completing the transition into joke news.

Hey, check it out! We get to blame immigrants for more problems! This time, the environment! Local orgs push for the green movement to reach beyond white. It’s sort of like the White Man’s Burden all over again.
