by Sean Orr | We Love Lists: Top 11 of 2011. Here’s mine: The failure of mean politics (Rob Fordism) by the NPA in the civic elections; Christy Clark’s vague Families First agenda; the Pantages demolished; Red Gates gets evicted; the sham that is the Missing Women Inquiry; the community-led rejection of a mega-casino at BC Place; the Crime Omnibus; Canada’s creeping militarism; the introduction of the Sun News Network (Fox News North); how BC is still the worst for child poverty; and a ton of news stories on the “occupy protests” but very few on why they are protesting.
Two headlines that basically cancel each other out: Fighting Violence Against Women in Vancouver’s Survival Sex Trade and UFC is Just Destroying the NHL in Per Video Views, The Kids Just Want Violence. Sigh.
Dipper in the Rye: Brar welfare experiment just rhetoric, past suggests. I knew this reeked of opportunism. I just couldn’t remember why. Turns out the 90’s are to blame. For everything.
So Soo me: Dishonest realtor ordered to pay $258,000 over scuttled deal for his own home. Our very own Arrested Developer!
NDP calls MacKay an ’embarrassment’ and urges firing. Wow. How bad do you have to be to embarrass the Conservative Party? That’s like being an embarrassment to the Bluth Family. Can’t be done.
Hahn’s solo: New BC Ferries boss to work for 60% less than outgoing CEO. Another justification for fare hikes.
