Police in Vancouver are appealing to the public to complete their paperwork for them. In the latest request for assistance the police are asking for the public to complete and fill out various forms including 1020-7's, 60ls and even their timesheets.
"We've got the public doing just about everything else, so why not our paperwork as well." constable James Chu, Division head of the Vancouver detachment claimed in a press conference yesterday. "Today the public are handling community watch programs, video taping alot of our confrontations, looking for criminals on the loose, capturing fugitives why not fill out a few forms before they go home"
With alot of police tied up in inquiries and scandals, taking paid time off, seeking treatment for alcohol abuse and anger management the force is around 60% capacity right now. Anyone willing to help is asked to contact the Vancouver Police on 911.

Vancouver Dogs traumatized, forced to watch owners fucking...
it seems that dog owners in Vancouver don't have any problem fucking in front of their animals, and as a result some of dogs are suffering. dogs traumatized often show symptoms such as nausea, asphyxiation and in severe cases paralysis. dogs exposed to excess stimulation may also be more aggressive. Vancouver Pet Refuge Director of Service, Gordon Farcus said it's baffling how people can be so insensitive. "i mean you wouldn't have sex in front of your children, why on earth would you do it in front of your dog."

Hookers on Seymour?
An unidentified tourist from Portland, OR was furious and demanding answers from Tourism BC and the City of Vancouver yesterday after learning that the hookers that used to be located on the South end of Seymour were no longer there. "This is just bullshit, absolute bullshit" the 32 year old Oregon native claimed. "I was here 3 years ago and there were some amazing fucking hookers here. they wore white knee high boots and you could spot them in a second. Now there's nothing but a fucking Blends Coffee and a bus stop"
His outrage was shared by construction crews at a nearby condo development who were wondering who they were supposed to whistle and shout at now the hookers had gone. Construction foreman Andrew Whitehall was quoted as saying "...well there used to be plenty to make noise at. now maybe once or twice a day we get a girl in some yoga pants, maybe a visible thong once a week but that's rare now."
City officials have not commented.

Surrey man involved in stabbing....
Surrey, BC - a man has been charged with a fatal stabbing during a party last weekend at a house party in Surrey. A 32 yr old man was arrested soon after and claimed, "Well everyone else around here was stabbing people, i didn't think it was a big deal".

Car Thief Starter Kit program announced.
Mayor Gregor Robertson was quoted as saying "it's a tough market. these kids have got to worry about the police, bait car programs and on top of that vehicle that are increasingly difficult to steal with complicated alarms and engine immobilizers."
The city says this will help some of the nearly 1500 kids a year who try to get their foot in the door, and that it would help get kids off the street, pay for their drug habits and provide a nice boost to the provincial insurance coffers. "It's a win win" Mayor Gregor continued, "this is something we have a reputation for being the best in North America at, and I don't want to see that change."
The Capilano Suspension Bridge Scam
scam is not a word i use lightly. but this is pure scam. the current price for an adult to visit this "attraction" is $26.95. Now lets put this in perspective, this is in essence a fucking bridge. Yes it goes over a river in a canyon. but bear in mind there isn't a whole lot more. There are some trails on the other side, and some paths that go into the trees - but $26.95??? WTF! In california you can get a discounted ticket to universal or disneyland for a little more than that. on hasting street you can get a blow job with change for that...probably.
most of us locals know that for free you can take visitors to lyn valley park and cross a bridge, and be in the middle of real forest, vs the capilano experience which is pretty much a canyon surrounded by suburbs.

Which way, one way...
The one way street designations in downtown vancouver can be complex to navigate. whats more difficult is the fact that they seem to change all the time. It would seem that the people in the city planning/engineering department either have no idea what they are doing, and are simply redirecting traffic every year to 18 months in some kind of mass frogger type experiment or they have a plan, but it's just a really fucked up one. Vancouver traffic management is shitty at best.

The truth behind CFL bulbs...
if it all seems to good to be true, then it could well be. This article on Green Muze outlines the many hazards, chemicals and processes which go into this product - and it isn't pretty. Much like the Toyota Prius, which when you add the environmental cost of the battery and the production process actually is worse for the environment than 4 conventional small vehicles, the CFL could be a bigger threat than the 100 yr old incandescent technology it's replacing. The British government has even issued health warnings about their use: "British governmental health organization, the Health Protection Agency (HPA), that some CFLs emit ultraviolet radiation at levels that, under certain conditions of use, can result in exposures higher than guideline levels."
Come 2012 the canadian government is banning the sale of incandescent bulbs and the manufacturers of CFL bulbs will have a monopoly on the market. With chemicals like mercury a primary ingredient, it's hard to believe this is a good thing.
safer to smoke crack than have a wine on the beach...
what kind of city do we live in where junkies and crackheads deal and use openly on the street without being hassled by the cops, and if you or I, sat on the beach with our family and had a glass of wine or a beer we'd be in trouble? seriously - doesn't this piss anyone off? the police have basically stopped hassling the real criminals and only hassle the people they can get money from. fucking pathetic.
Canucks vs Ducks fan fight more entertaining than game...
i guess it goes hand in hand with the hockey culture, but this fight captured at a hockey game this week between a canucks fan and a ducks fan was entirely more entertaining than the hockey game itself. it's always good fun to put 2 idiots together, add alcohol and ensure they support different teams or ideologies. many wars have no doubt started the same way. this clash however ended a little more amicably with event security intervening. for those of you who care, the canucks fan beat the shit out of the ducks fan.

the worlds biggest pedophile ring - the roman catholic church
today canada's highest ranking roman catholic priest, Quebec City Archbishop Marc Ouellet weighed in on the catholic churches latest woes. claiming that the pope was completely innocent and has always taken a zero tolerance stance on child abuse - BULLSHIT.
Read the story here on CBC. The kicker is, and this is gold....Archbishop Marc Ouellet's own brother is currently serving time in a quebec prison for 2 counts of sexual assault against a minor.
Seriously, why do people continue to support the catholic church which for years has continued to harbor and protect societies worst criminals. people that prey upon children. the abuse has been widespread and rapant in every country the catholic church operates in. the church has a policy of simply moving these animals from one area to another where they continue to destroy lives.
and it's clear the lies and coverup go all the way to the vatican. believe it or not, many of the accused actually take sanctuary in the vatican which is effectively it's own country, of which the pope is the law. to get some idea of just how bad the problem is in the US ALONE, checkout this site http://www.bishop-accountability.org/

Junkies - licence to steal?
What the fuck is that smell...oh, it's Abbotsford & Chilliwack
As the weather gets warmer, so to does the stink and funk of our eastern cities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Was driving east towards Hope on highway 1 and had to stop for some gas and McD's. Pulled up at McDonalds in Chilliwack, stepped out of the car and BANG. The smell hit me like a fucking dead horse carcass in a shitstorm. how on earth do you people do it? live out there I mean. With the smell of manure trailing through the entire town day in and night? i guess you get used to it....
there's an open facebook discussion on the question "Do people think it smells in chilliwack?" and see also this hilarious entry in the uncyclopedia, http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Chilliwack,_British_Columbia. To quote:
"One cannot discuss Chilliwack without mentioning its stench. Chilliwack is considered to be the worst-smelling city in Canada and possibly the world. Nothing can compare. As soon as you step inside the town, the scent of dung overpowers you. It smells like shit. Everywhere. All the time. Prolonged exposure to this stench will drive you insane. It boggles the mind as to how the citizen's of Chilliwack do not notice this stench. It is the most putrid thing ever. People have visited and then killed themselves, rather that face the smell of manure for any extended amount of time. George W. Bush wants to contain this stench and use it as the ultimate weapon. But not even Dick Cheney will go near this town. If this stench spreads, god help us all. In short, Chilliwack smells really, really bad, something to note if you are ever insane enough to want to go there.
One precaution against the smell of Chilliwack is to cut off your nose, or even better have no sense of smell to begin with"

The only thing to fear....is the police themselves.
Canadian police, in particular BC police have come under fire recently for everything from killing immigrants at the airport, driving DUI and killing other motorists, beating up newspaper delivery men while drunk, and recently beating up kids on the street in plain view of everyone. they have a reputation for corruption, protecting themselves, covering their own asses and a complete lack of respect for the law. it's little wonder none of us feel safe whether it's the RCMP or the municipal officers, you really want to hope that someone has a camera handy when ever you come into contact with one of these animals.
obviously the recruiting is the major problem. if you are attracting morons, who are nothing but power monkeys who get off on authority and carrying a gun, then this is exactly what you are going to see. it's only now with the advent of cell phone cameras, youtube and the web that these idiots are being held accountable. i blogged about corporal monty benjamin, perhaps the RCMP's leading agent of death, but it seems the problem is rampant and systematic.

Degenerate Gamblers celebrate!
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/03/26/bc-vancouver-casino-bc-place.html
Degenerate gamblers and addicts in vancouver now have cause for even more celebration. The government has just announced it has approved a $450M casino development at the site of the Edgewater Casino. Most of you would be familiar with the edgewater, that fucking monstrosity on our water front which is surrounded by parking lots, filled with the dull glare of BC's inner city gambling drones, drawn to the lure of poker machines and endless ways to piss away your hard earned welfare check.
it stands to reason that if we are going to give people welfare, we should establish a business which caters to their particular needs and habits. what will we do with the millions of dollars we suck from the community? funnel it back into the disaffected children whose parents left them locked in the carpark while sitting for hours at a blackjack table? maybe we'll use it to provide free crack to those children who will almost certainly have chemical dependencies by time they are in highschool. perhaps we'll use it to help vancouver's fastest growing demographic, our much prized homeless population. who have yet another place to piss away money they don't have (no problem of course because the judiciary have given them permission to steal our cars, ipods and bikes for drugs - why not poker machines?).
ahhhh good news day.

Olympics are over morons...
We have to listen to the CTV announcers go on and on week after week now about how "their lives changed" and magical the torch relay, and the first gold medal, and the opening ceremonies. blah blah blah. seriously, we get it, it was good, it was fun but now its fucking over! move on already. we get it, you were there...you provided crappy small time commentary, and now you are going to remind us about it for the next year.

Olympic flame behind chicken wire...
i know the games have finished, but i finally had a chance to get down there and check out the cauldron, albeit extinguished.
disgusted, sums up the experience.
the cauldron, which is visually impressive, a magnificent sculpture. it's flanked by a apocalyptic, soviet era fence. (see pictured). it's not even a nice fence. it's the type of fence you might hastily erect around a nuclear spill. it's base is made up of large concrete pads, (capable no doubt of stopping an attack by tank). then the fence is about 12 ft high. it means any photo or view of the cauldron is obscured and marred by this shocking eyesore. apparently during the games, there was complaint, and a 3-4 ft section above the concrete was replaced with plexi glass. this is good if you are around 5.5ft or shorter, but otherwise it's horrendous. when we have to go to these lengths to protect things - we have lost the battle. this looks like a fortified warzone, and probably isn't too different from a fence you might find in the greenzone in baghdad.

Dear Quebec, please leave canada...
this was a comment from one reader of the CBC report:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2010/03/04/mtl-quebec-english-private-school-conseil.html
you have to wonder why the quebec govt have their head so far up their own asses. this whole bilingualism issue in canada has really gotten to the point of crazy. bilingualism doesn't unite us - it fragments us. it costs us billions every year in service and administrative costs. and more to the point it has become nothing more than a tool, that the political entities in quebec use to firewall funding, claim minority status, reap the benefits of cultural and arts spending projects, legislate mandatory government bureaucracy and at the same time suck billions of dollars in welfare, through the provincial transfer payments scheme.
today, they are claiming they want to further limit the ability of quebec residents to choose to have their children schooled in english. does that sound like the policy of a free and liberal western country? they essentially want to force french education on every resident. why is it so many Quebecois want to be schooled in english? is it because they live in the middle of fucking NORTH AMERICA!! where french is about as useful outside quebec as michael j fox fumbling with change at a parking meter....
and bilingualism has become nothing more than an industry now for quebec. because many of the best government jobs require fluent french (for no real reason) guess who they are mainly open to....the CRTC's policys that demand local content be produced in english and french, - where do you think all the federal $$$ that subsidize those arts programs go?? into factories in quebec that churn out crap that most of canada doesn't even watch.
even worse, we all have to pay for quebec the welfare state which consistently keeps the highest unemployment numbers through the wacky federal transfer payment scheme, $16billion, of our money was poured into this province, so it could be wasted forcing their residents to use a language that is quickly becoming irrelevant on a worldwide scale, let alone in north america.
imagine yourself a parent in quebec. you want the best for your children, and you want them to have opportunities - so you want them to speak fluent english, so they can work and function in the rest of the country, and (most of the western world). but here your government not only creates a tyrannical petty campaign to block english from every street sign, restaurant menu radio station and billboard, but wont allow you to attend an english speaking school in a BILLINGUAL country!
it is with that sentiment that i echo the comments of the readers on CBC, "Dear Quebec, please leave canada" and rid us of the expense incurred in supporting your uni-lingual industrial complex...

Tim Hortons Ad sinks to new lows in emotional, sentimental crap peddling...
Talk about cheap, dramatic brain dead advertising, this commercial from Tim Hortons started playing shortly after the Haiti Quake crisis, and while it's about an African family being reunited, it seeks to exploit the emotions of reuniting family members from 3rd world countries, a topical issue during the recent disaster.
what more can you say about a fast food company that simply draws on the plight of 3rd world countries to advertise and shamelessly associate it's product? does anyone really want to get emotionally involved with the company that makes some of the most mediocre coffee in the world? no. do we take offense to the hijacking of international disasters in order to promote brand? yes.
the standard of advertising in this country is pathetic. when it comes to major corporations and the drivel their canadian ad agencies spit out it's appauling. Maybe it's because i'm used to much more sophisticated advertising in europe and australia, but the stuff they make here is a joke. it either involves animals (see telus, bell, fido) or involves some overlly dramatic effort to combine a completely unrelated event with a relatively mundane product.
by the way tim hortons, your donuts are the worst. period. please, go to a krispy creme store try a donut and do something about the quality of yours.
