File under r/Vancouver/controversial: MacNair: Sympathy for the dog killer Paulsen. “I felt sympathy because Paulsen is going to lose her right to freedom over the death of six animals who, at the end of the day, are essentially inconsequential to this world…”

Shameless self-promotion of the day: Reflect on the futile idiocy of hardcore with a new song from NEEDS.

Ladies and gentlemen, the power of Facebook: Homeless men allegedly soaked with water outside Vancouver Tim Hortons. Never deny it.
