by Sean Orr | What a week! There’s been so much news! Let’s just take a peek over at The Province and see what’s making waves. Their most read story? Charlie Sheen draws barely 3000 to Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. That’s depressing in so many ways…
Anyways…everyone is having a right proper whinge about the Conservatives winning a majority in the election, but what better way to expose Harper’s agenda than to allow him to expose it himself. We don’t have confirmation on this, but word is it’s how he celebrated. [ed. note: hide ya kids!]
And for all the people who “couldn’t make it” to the polls, Derek Miller did, but he died of cancer before he knew the results. He was very open and brave about the whole thing. This is his last tweet: “I can speak, but in a squeaky way. I’m also now housebound”. Raul writes a memorial.
Misattributed Martin Luther King Jr. quote still proves food for thought. Yeah, only if you’re into moral relativism. I mean, Osama was no more a person than he was a symbol of evil. What is there to live for then, if not to triumph over such evils?
The Vancouver Sun uses a still from a video game to represent the Navy SEALS. Man, they’re getting more like that rad Taiwanese animated news channel everyday!
And yet they let Dix declare Socialized medicine is good for B.C. business. Hmm, perhaps the Fraser Institute-loving editors thought it was a case of “give him enough rope…”
Nashville camerawork verges on the vomitous. “One gets the feeling that, if the Maple Leafs had been playing, the CBC would have hired Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, and Bruce McDonald to shoot the series”.
Saying goodbye to W2 Storyeum.
This is East Van launches at the Waldorf tomorrow.
