Nearly a dozen protestors were masked, dressed all in black, and were carrying black flags. Protestors dressed in this manner have been linked to violent and criminal acts in the past.

Clothing as a precedent! Perhaps they were cops.

‘They’re burning crosses in Prince George as we speak”: Hate-crime team charges 2 B.C. men allegedly involved with white-supremacy group, which leads us to great moments in local racism.

It seems a little contradictory, don’t you think?”. Holy shit. This guy is a UBC Prof? Man, I’m really regretting dropping out to go and do shrooms and write poetry by myself in the winter at Wreck Beach. I could be getting paid 5 figures to espouse this sophomoric, knee-jerk reactionary, “if-you-don’t-like-it-here-leave” mentality. Instead, I could link to a story about the Housing Endowment Fund and talk about Vancouver as Ideology. Bam. Done.

The Don Cayo Institute: Pace of investment improves — maybe the HST worked. Don’t sound so guilty, bro. Some of us actually voted to keep it.

Our own Maginot? Sichuan Shale BC Jobs. “China has more shale gas reserves than any other country in the world”. So lets build a pipeline that nobody wants through unceded First Nations land so we can send coal to Newcastle.

I live in a shit show.

Meanwhile, Mysterious appearance of sea turtles on B.C. beaches baffles experts. On one hand it’s like, oh shit that’s not supposed to happen, but on the other it’s like, cool, now we have sea turtles!

Bonus: Kesler’s Lament.
