by Sean Orr | B.C. Mountie alleges years of sexual harassment. And they wonder why some people call them pigs.

Tourism BC is withdrawing a marketing brochure telling businesses not to promote gay tourism in China. So…you can get fucked up the ass by China but you just can’t tell them that you like it? Oh.

Bad optics all around: First Nations sacred fire gets put out by VFD. On one hand it’s like, really? A fire? Come on guys. But then on the other it’s like, “now they have put a curse on themselves because they’ve opened old wounds with the ancestors”.

Why I chose to disrupt Vancouver’s mayoral debate. If you sift through her poorly written vitriol, you’ll find she has a point. The burden of representation should not fall upon the marginalized, but rather the institutions that are the agents of their marginalization. What we really have is a media no longer willing to mediate information, assuming the role of instigator instead.

Tweet of the Day: James Gemill, “In exciting news, Mark Hasiuk has apparently written another column that I feel I would lose nothing by not reading”. I assume he’s talking about this glaringly slanted, reactionary, opportunistic, drivel. Translation? We’ll criticize you as professional activists and call you poverty pimps if and when you do get organized. Short of that, we’ll call you a special interest group. If you’re environmentalists, we’ll call you zealots and say that you’re forcing your eco-fascism on the rest of us ordinary-folk. And should you form a union…well…Jesus, you might as well be communists! But when a group of misfits gather for a cause as vague and broad as the economy itself, you attack it for being unorganized? Pfft.

So what’s our premier doing right now? Oh yeah, she’s starring in a new segment that I like to call, imaginatively,  The Quote Of The Day:

You know, one of the things that we want to do in our relationship with China is engage more. And you know, we think that by engaging more and engaging China in the world to a greater extent, you know, that will help further, some of the ideals that we, that we hold dear in Canada.”

Also, I believe that we, as U.S. Americans, can help the China.

Headline of the day: Frantic search in the bush.

Bonus Craigslist ad of the Day: I will pay cash for your shit. Upon first glance you might think he wants to by your unwanted stuff, but…no. It’s poo.
