by Sean Orr | A nice j’accuse by the Globe: RCMP is still horribly broken. Fix it. The police responded by launching an internal investigation and suspending all officers. With pay.
Two more DTES groups endorse Vision for Change. Man, there a lot of DTES groups. I’m not saying…I’m just saying.
Frustrations grow over another Evergreen Line delay. They don’t call it the “Nevergreen” line for nothing. What’s that? They don’t call it that? Oh, well can we start?
Health authority to loosen up. It’s about fucking time. Those guys are way too uptight.
In the tradition of man bites dog, The Province want to know if you’ve ever been bitten by a police dog while minding your own business. No, but I can totally make something up for you guys. How many words? Does it pay?
Mackin Tweets: “Q: Will Christy Clark order a public inquiry into BC Railscam if she enters and wins premiership”?
But the best tweet of the day belongs to Charles Demers: “The G20, Rob Ford, Tony Blair, Christopher Hitchens…is Toronto offering some kind of asshole-subsidy program this year”?
PS. this is what I was talking about regarding Rick Rypien: “The vacuum of information does nothing to de-stigmatize mental and emotional challenges faced by millions of Canadians”
UBC’s SJC is being disingenuous. They want to spend students’ money on political, not humanitarian, action. If they were concerned with alleviating poverty in Gaza, they would send the funds directly there instead of helping fund a crusader barge that needs to cross the world and break Israel’s blockade. One might disagree with the Gaza blockade, but their assumption that they should be allowed to fund contentious political issues with student funds and NOT be questioned is bullshit. Fuck them.
