by Sean Orr | Free Canada, Trade Harper: Canada’s wine industry may face restrictions if leaked EU trade deal is accurate. Are you sure you want to wake the beast within wine drinkers? Best comment: “Who cares a fiddlers foot about the wind industry” (sic).
Community hardens, rails against bullying: Arbutus Corridor Bulldozing By CP Rail Begins. Surprised there weren’t any concerned Kitsilanoans chained up to the bulldozers. If only it were a bike path…
One way to really Save On Meats: Food supplier claims Save On Meats owner Mark Brand stiffed it on bills.

Evergreen LIne is entirely inappropriate as they tore down all of the conifer evergreens surrounding it that actually would have filtered much of the noise. Don’t see any replanting either. Just instant noodle packages everywhere from workers who haven’t learned to clean up after themselves.
