by Sean Orr | As BC nears a true living wage of $18.75, an anti-poverty group dares B.C. MLAs to try welfare income. This is particularly awesome, as I recently learned the hard way, because welfare a) makes you wait three weeks before you get it and b) makes you liquidate your assets, and c) makes your spouse apply. Pro tip: Don’t tell them that you live with your girlfriend or they will make you break up with them. True story.

Is Vancouver in a real estate bubble? I dunno. Let’s ask a real estate agent. The answer? It’s impossible to tell.

CYBER FAIL. While I appreciate the use of the cultural idiom, it’s still corporate owned sensationalism.

Parents keep child’s gender under wraps. Because gender is so passé. Yet clothes somehow are not.

Surrey eyes Central City for Canucks celebrations. I’m sorry, but Surrey is supposed to invade Vancouver. It’s not the other way around.

Hockey Riot Vancouver: Myth and Fact. Hmm. I remember everyone being pretty stoked and then that dude fell off the telephone wire. When the ambulance tried to get there and couldn’t, a single bike cop went ballistic.
