by Sean Orr | Question of the Day. The Conservative dominated Senate has killed the climate bill that all other parties and the majority of Canadians supported. CBC is asking “Was this an abuse of democracy? Yes. Can we also have a parallel poll asking if it’s an abuse of democracy that Harper is still in power?

Question of the day Part II: Was Campbell’s drastic 15% cut to income tax just to buy him a fraction of popularity in a last ditch effort to keep his job? Also yes.

Mayor Disappoints. OK, so there’s a bunch of rad stuff that he did at the beginning, then the hardly-his-fault Olympic Pillage, then omg-who-cares bike lanes, and then an opinion poll that actually rates him pretty high? I mean, two years into Sam’s term I could have given you a massive laundry list of real issues.

The only part they got right was the impossible promise Gregor made to solve homelessness: Homeless senior dies on street goes unnoticed for hours. More than 8 hours? What the fuck? Is this Delhi?

Meanwhile, the VPD hands out blankets to homeless, which is cool (don’t get me wrong), but I just wish they could hand out apartments instead. Also, I wonder if they give them tickets for unlawful camping at the same time…

City of Vancouver eyes plan for Mount Pleasant. I still blame Tim Hortons.

Ethical Pervert. This guy I worked with wrote an email to Dov and Co. after quitting his job at American Apparel.
