B.C. government fails to follow report to help children at risk. The last time I checked, children couldn’t vote.

Newest wave of immigrants hurling in from the Emerald Isle. Oh god, just what we need. More Irish immigrants coming here, working their asses off, raising their children to be incredibly sarcastic, then buying them lofts in Gastown with their hard earned money. Man, fuck those guys.

Vancouver man set for trial in 1975 killing of native activist. Which will probably be about as fair as Omar Khadr’s military tribunal. Free John Graham, we don’t need another Peltier.

B.C. biotech firm develops non-browning apple. Unfortunately, if you eat them you will never tan.

U.S. regrets leak of documents: Clinton. Not what’s in them. Not that they’ve been spying on the UN, or using embassies to spy on other countries. Just that they were leaked. It’s the political equivalent of saying “I’m sorry that you think that I hurt you”.
