On Mayors Goin’ Down And Doing Yoga In Front Of Captive Whales

by Sean Orr | Speaking of going down…Rob Ford Is Too Busy Eating His Wife’s Pussy to Eat Staffer Pussy. When the mayor goes down, he really goes down. Or as Jon Stewart says, “please, let that be the last sentence in your entire career of public service.” I’ll say! Time for him to split.

Andrew Coyne: Rob Ford mess a monster born of divisive and condescending populism. That, and the amalgamation of Toronto. The suburbs are killing us. Never forget.

Meanwhile, Double standard on display in approach to Svend Robinson and Rob Ford. And don’t forget Glen “exonerated from all charges” Clark. Blame the buddy/buddy relationship between the media and politicians.

Cancer is a growth industry: Why I won’t be growing a moustache for “Movember”. Yeah, although I’m a natural skeptic and don’t participate in Movember, to suggest that screening for cancer kills people is misleading. In fact the Movember website states, “the question of screening is a personal and complex one. It’s important for every man to talk with his doctor about whether prostate cancer screening is right for him.” So up yours.

But if “corporate collusion” is your bag, you need to read this: WikiLeaks Releases Full Text Of Secret Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Now, that’s much more terrifying than a man with a moustache!

Yoga with belugas draws protesters to Vancouver Aquarium. There’s a thousand Chip Wilson joke to be made out of this. You know…whales…yoga pants. Go ahead and make them up yourselves.

Craigslist of the day: Empty Canucks Tissue Box (Near City Hall). Get it? Because of all the tears.

Let’s be honest about the city’s new cigarette butt recycling program. So there’s a receptacle for butts on every block, but about four public washrooms in the entire city? Yeah, sounds about right.

Michael Bublé is angry: Michael Bublé seeing red over Red Robinson Show Theatre name change. They should call it the George Massey Theatre.

Scan of the day: “Burnaby RCMP are searching the area near 6500 Hastings St after a male was found masturbating in his vehicle in the Safeway parking lot”.

Bonus: The Sublime, Smoky Landscapes of Karin Bubaš.

  1. There is already a Massey Theatre in New Westminster but ironically they are looking to tear it down.
