Tea & Two Slices: On The Cheap Showiness of Justice And Adults Getting Serious

by Sean Orr | The Crown Counsel association adds their voice to those urging the Premier to alter course. Because that is clearly not the way justice works. This is: VPD release New Stanley Cup riot suspects. It’s the Where’s Waldo of policing!

Exhibit B: VPD emails show police were expecting Stanley Cup unrest. Just don’t say they were predicting a riot! I did, but I think I got away with it.

The Province gets serious: When will Christy Clark get serious? Are you guys serious? “People need leaders. If Clark doesn’t get more engaged with providing real solutions, voters will find someone who will”. As a rebuttal, Christy Clark did not offer this: “Ooooooh. I’m shaking in my red Reitmans pumps. Who you gonna vote for, Cummins? Bwah hah! I’d like to see that!”

An Adult Conversation about Taxes. That’s cool, but adults are fucking booorrrrrrrring.

Speaking of adults: David Schreck doesn’t want to see Christy Clark’s cleavage in the legislature. At the risk of being overly obvious, “I bet you’re gay”.

Speaking of adults, Part 2: CKNW introduces The Waste Patrol. Because journalism is a fun game that people play! Seriously, this like one step-up from the fart patrol.

And in other news, RATS!!!

A message to #OccupyVancouver: Occupy yourself. That is all. Carry on.
