by Sean Orr | Frankie called it: 23 photos that sum up “The Great Storm of 2015″

Meanwhile, someone made a time-lapse video of the storm and it’s about as pointless as it sounds. After all, we will rebuild. Also, being a dick when you call into BCHydro won’t get your power on any faster.

I mean, people were acting like the world was ending. Oh wait, it is: What the Fuck Are We Meant to Do with Our Lives When We’re Told the World Is Ending? Hmm, Netflix and chill?

Grisly weather: Vancouver Zoo evacuated; wind breaks grizzly bear enclosure. It felt like Jurassic Park? Except…you know, they didn’t clone an extinct animal and bring it back to life; it’s just a regular animal that already lives here, but…yeah. You were locked inside a building for a couple of hours after looking at animals locked up for their entire lives. Super scary.

Speaking of which: Chester the false killer whale at Vancouver Aquarium is self-harming, says marine biologist. Yeah, but that’s only because he knows he will never be able to buy a house here.

Or even rent one for that matter: West End tenants cry foul over high rent hikes. “All it takes is one landlord who tries to game the system.” And by gaming the system they mean working completely and lawfully within the system.

Poor Chester won’t even be able to get a stylish tiny house up north: Canada Bans Off-Grid Living. Does anyone else find it amusing that there is a website called Off The Grid News?

Don’t Read the Comments of the day: B.C. Students Will Finally Learn Their Province’s Racist History. Pfft, those history teachers trying to brainwash our kids with…facts. Who do they think they are?

Wow, I almost forgot there was a federal election going on. Here’s The Gastown Gazette lobbing some of the softest balls at Justin Trudeau I’ve ever seen: The Next Boss of Canada. Get a microphone Andy, I can’t hear a word you’re saying above the floatplane.

Here’s Stuart Parker explaining why the NDP has to balance the budget.

Here’s Nicholas Ellan explaining why the Liberals’ plan to control marijuana is awful.

Here’s a guy in a red hoodie: Harper facing questions after PMO staffer spotted talking to witness at Duffy trial. It’s a St. Louis Cardinals hoodie, so that means he’s an extra big piece of shit.

Here’s a scientist getting fired for writing a folk song: Environment Canada scientist placed on leave over ‘Harperman’ protest song.

And finally, here’s how Liberal/Conservative your name is.
