by Sean Orr | Sometimes logic prevails: Omar Khadr comes home to Canadian justice. And…sometimes it doesn’t. Our very own Romney: Lunch with Anders: Speaks from conviction and going nowhere. “I actually think one of the great stories that was missed by journalists was that Mr. Mulcair, with his arm twisted behind the scenes, helped to hasten Jack Layton’s death”. Looks like Anders really is ready for the acid life.

We don’t need another hero task force: Mayor uses Affordability Task Force to deregulate and privatize housing. “The Task Force has proved no different in encountering this clash between ideal and reality, vexed by the challenge of balancing profitability with public anger about the housing crisis. That contradiction is the sharp rock upon which the Task Force is now shipwrecked”. It is also interesting to note that Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls is on the task force.

Journalist as subject: Columnist Margaret Wente defends herself. “But there is a sentence from Mr. Gardner’s column that also appears in my column. And for that I apologize”. I took the jacket off the rack and put it in my bag, and for that I apologize.

Meanwhile, B.C. reporter plans counter-suit over John Furlong’s allegations about her research. How can you tell this guy was in charge of the Olympics? His disdain for open information is a dead giveaway.

Thanks in part to the revisionism of people like Furlong, Vancouver is named world’s most reputable city. If Vancouver was a person, it would be constantly googling itself.

Be careful what you wish for: Vancouver sets record for driest September. Stop complaining about the rain. We are all going to die!

Cast adrift: BC Ferries fare increases capped at 4%. Oh dear, Victoria is going to become even more isolated and weird. Like when Bart broke his leg and had to spend the summer in his bedroom writing a play about St. Swithen’s Day.

Bonus: Writing Vancouver. Don’t mind if I do.
