by Sean Orr | Luka Magnotta arrives home to face Canadian justice. “By Canadian justice they of course mean a strongly-worded letter and 12 months of house arrest.” That piece of unwavering cynicism brought to you by Ryan Edward Miller. Speaking of unfortunate juxtapositions, check out today’s Metro.

I love that the following article is published by the Calgary Herald: Study gets to the heart of Vancouver’s unfriendliness. Newness, transience, an ever-shifting frontier narrative, class, Lotus eaters, and a very distinct and separate society that nobody is allowed to identify, let alone talk about.

Leading to the Tweet of the Day c/o Andrew Morrison. “Irony: Vancouver Sun & Province lay off scores, offer buyouts to staff, publish 5 part piece on social isolation”.

Unsigned editorial: Reason will return one day to Vancouver city hall. “A return to less divisive city politics can’t come soon enough”. Calling cycling infrastructure divisive is more divisive that creating cycling infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Passing of budget bill is bad news for Canadians and the environment. I took a screen-shot of both the Sun and Province but I’m sure you’ll believe me when I say there was nothing about the budget.

Province spent more than $250,000 on failed deal to rename BC Place. And this is the pro-business party? Yeesh, I’d hate see what would happen if the socialists were in power.

Speaking of socialists, where da Unions at, yo? As Quebec student strike enters critical phase, discussion on way forward deepens. I love when discussions deepen.

Vancouver’s Roman Catholic community condems assisted-suicide ruling. Of course they do. Prolonging misery and suffering is practically their job.

LA Kings fan trolls the Province classifieds. Aw, that’s kind of nice actually.

Bonus: Vancouver Special-er.

Double Bonus: Restaurant Rumble 2012. Come cheer me on this June 24th.
