by Sean Orr | Backroom boys forced James out. This just has a cool, old-timey feel to it. I can just picture a bunch of young radicals perched high in the attics of an office building, wearing fedoras and smoking American Spirits, or handing out literature at New World Confectionery, or rounding up the boys at Bows and Arrows. Also, I don’t know if the Province did this on purpose, but I love how in the photograph James is standing under a sign that says ‘departures’.
Home stagers reach out to troubled women. I sort of figured it out but I actually had to google home staging. It’s indeed as vacuous and manipulating as one might think.
A Christmas gift list for Vancouver’s naughty and nice. Written by a notorious grinch. At least he gets one thing right: “A history book: for the University of British Columbia’s student-run Israel Awareness Club”. Nice.
Postmedia Group might have just made a newspaper app to save newspapers. Cool, only a decade too late!

Right . . . how vacuous and manipulative of those home stagers. We can see right through their sham: giving up their time, gathering donated furniture and spending a day laying new floor, painting and making the communal space at downtown women’s centre habitable. Con artists, the lot of them.
Speaking of notorious grinches . . .
Hmm. I think he may have been referring to the practice of home staging in general and not this particular instance.
Got that. Still seems like a cheap shot given the circumstances of the story.
“Abstinence-based recovery” (from the Petfinder’s naughty/nice column)? That sounds about as likely to succeed as abstinence-based sex ed. Harm reduction works. Telling people to tough it out? Not so much.
