Tea & Two Slices: On Water Fear And Washed Up Penny Traders…

5205403440_da98c6700e_z

by Sean Orr | BC Business Online has a wankfest over Liberal leadership candidate Kevin Falcon: Rebel with a Cause, even though there is nothing rebellious about the man. But wait, he doesn’t do up the top button of his shirt!? In fact, “Kevin Falcon, now 46, could still pass for a student from a distance, with his spiky hair, cool-college-nerd glasses, athletic springiness and the boyish energy that he radiates”. To me, he looks more like some washed-up penny trader now working as a bar manager at Joey’s.

Jenny Kwan may have struck “fatal blow” on NDP Leader Carole James, Bob Simpson says. ROWRRR! ‘Why is it when two women fight it’s considered a cat fight’?

Do you realize water may be privatized in B.C.? No, what is your evidence? Oh, just that it might be? Complete and utter blind speculation? Sign me up!

Public hearing to probe mistaken arrest by Vancouver police officers. “According to the Delta investigation, Wu and the officers provided different versions of events”. Yeah, no shit.

Meanwhile, outrage greets officer’s conviction on assault charge. In other news, a wooden baton is not a weapon, so if you ever, you know…if you have to, for whatever reason, let’s say whack a guy

Meanwhile meanwhile, Disgraced former VPD officer pleads guilty to drug trafficking. Apparently, this was that big security scare during the Olympics that involved 16 officers. Because we all know what happened in Die Hard…
