by Sean Orr | Can’t wait for an earthquake: A massive chemical fire at Port Metro Vancouver in the Burrard Inlet caused chaos in much of downtown and east Vancouver Wednesday afternoon. Hey, but at least it didn’t snow this winter! Mitchell and Webb to the rescue: Remain Indoors.

Blame Canada: Dsquared2 under fire for #Dsquaw women’s fashion collection. What fucking year is this? Did they not see the massive backlash that Urban Outfitters faced when they sold headdresses? They are either the stupidest people in the world or they wanted publicity badly (and are therefore the smartest).
Sick of the transit referendum yet? The Two-Hundred-Million-Dollar Coincidence. Uh, yeah…that’s the thing with coincidences: they are totally just coincidences.
More bridges (that nobody wants to pay for)! Barnston Island residents want to see ferry replaced with a bridge. “I have neighbours that have actually moved off the island…” Hint-hint.
Vancouver compost bins better fed than most of planet. Wait, but I thought Syrup Trap was supposed to be satire?
Vancouver Would Be Cooler If: someone made a livable hut that’s also a mini ramp that also rides on railway tracks. Oh wait, never mind. Someone did make that.
Speaking of railroads, our friend Mike Babiarz made this video: Railroading the Community Gardens.
Hey, look! A sweet new place to avoid at all costs: The Granville Strip. Top marks for the name, though.
Bonus: Dancing about architecture: Post-mortem on the old Eaton’s building: an interview with Cesar Pelli.
“Catering to world-class pallets”? Well, it’s about time shipping platforms had a strip joint to call their own…
It’s a strip club. I don’t imagine they will be holding a Spelling Bee on stage in the near future.
