by Sean Orr | This won’t make the cover of The Province: Kits pool floods. No, the world didn’t end last night. It will end with a wimper not a bang. Flooding will just be a new normal thing that happens every spring and winter. Deal with it.

Meanwhile, in light of the tragedy in Newtown (and our own in Surrey yesterday), Canadian Gun Show Rules Axed By Conservatives. Some self-awareness wouldn’t hurt, guys.
Oh, the beautiful, beautiful irony. A monster bridge made on the cusp of Peak Oil and irreversible climate change shuts down because its makers forgot that Canada was an Arctic nation. Oh well, at least it apologised…
I’m sorry everybody, they told me it didn’t snow here!
