Defense minister McKay narrowly misses rocket rocket attack on base. I can't help but wonder if Harper would look at the mission differently knowing a cabinet minister was killed in Afghanistan.

And what does Harper think of the heroin trade once curbed by Taliban but now on the rise thanks to Canada? Does he think closing down Insite will force people to stop injecting drugs thereby halting its cultivation? Maybe he thinks we need a Russel Crowe to go over there and catch the bad guys.

Pick your 2010 mascot. How 'bout a caricature of a panhandler on Robson street? That guy with no shoes would do the trick. Or maybe the 'could you spare a quarta" lady. Then one of the other mascots could be a Lulu Lemon wearing Yaletowner carrying a latte and an umbrella in one hand, and a blackberry in the other hand ignoring the other mascot. Then we could have an Olympic protester dressed in black rags wearing a bandanna over their mouth getting pepper sprayed by cops. And then finally we could have a pine beetle ravaged tree waddling around handing out medals.

One of them could also be an out of work Cambie merchant: The first day of court proceedings by Cambie merchant Susan Heyes vs. The City of Vancouver, the Attorney General of BC, the Queen, the Vancouver Airport Authority, and RAVCo begins today at 10am.

At the rate things are going, maybe the mascot will be a gang banger. Hey look!
The Province published this fun, interactive map!

Law may deny many right to vote. Which is bad, unless of course Abbotsford is denied the right to vote.

Three different cities, one theme. With condos crowding the cores of our cities, office space is getting expensive.
