Tea & Two Slices: Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Tankers Of Crude…

by Sean Orr | Unfortunately, people are still buying the line that Campbell was somehow good for the economy. His legacy: “if he goes ahead with the 15 percent tax cut, they’re going to take 1.8 billion dollars out of the provincial revenue, and then if we say “no” to the HST, another 1.6 billion will have to be paid back to the federal government”. This, according to Bob Simpson.

Crude-oil tankers quietly slipping through Vancouver’s harbour. “It’s ok, we interviewed a CGA ‘who has worked for large corporations and raised a family”, not just some hippie”.

Meanwhile, over of the Island: Victoria Mayor Fortin’s Home Attacked by spray-painting, anti-poverty “militants”…

The City has declared war on the poor, and we’re fighting back! On the morning of Friday November 5th, militants painted three messages for Victoria mayor Dean Fortin on his 2526 Victor St. house and car: “PG” (in reference to the street community legislated off Pandora Green), “72” (for the 72 shelter beds cut in Victoria this week), and “ACAB” (All Cops Are Bastards – including bylaw officers who beat street people).

Hey, I didn’t know that as media we could actually physically attack the people we admonish. Watch the fuck out! Scout is coming for your ass! But who are we going to attack? Mediocre chain restaurants? Maybe the liquor control board? Hmm…

Watts will go for Campbell’s job. Man, this article might just have the best opening line I’ve ever read in a local newspaper: “Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of rumour and speculation”. It also may or may not be my personal mantra.

Margaret Wente’s ‘infinite jest’: Do you belong to the Elites? Take this test and see!. Yay! Polarization for everyone!

In Abbotsford, Sex Shops trump all-ages, artist-run, venues. Won’t somebody please think of the children!

Slob Life IV. Once again people I will be raising funds to buy For Cereals a certified Food Cart. Please come. I may or may not be getting married to a bowl of Cheerios.

  1. Some of the revisionist history at work on the radio and elsewhere these days with regards to Mr. Campbell is completely pukeworthy.
    Who will the next smirker be? Christy Clark? I shudder to think. uggggh

  2. Funny that Gordo cried when the NDP were in power in BC that his kids had to leave the province to find work. After 9 nines years with his Dad as Premier of BC, one of Gordo’s sons lives (and works presumably) in LA. Way to keep the kids at home Gordo!
