OK, I’m a film buff, especially films with content and meaning. I’m planning on trekking to two of such films after my West Coast Swing Class tonight, to show thanks for all my privileges and luck in life. LAND OF SILENCE AND DARKNESS and THE MIRACLE WORKER are premiering at 7:00PM, @ The […]

As a sports fan planning for the long weekend, I have an embarrassment of riches from which to choose.
Besides the U-20 World Cup taking place at Swangard Stadium and the usual bevy of recreational activities available throughout the city, there will also be the 2007 women’s Canada Cup softball tournament to watch.
Taking place at the […]

Why do Vancouver sports fans act stupid?

June 1994 was a traumatic time for me. Not only did I see my Canucks come within a goal post of a Stanley Cup against the New York Oilers, but my city showed the world how classy it was when a riot broke out on Robson Street shortly thereafter.
Ironically enough, Rangers fans celebrated peacefully without […]

Flocks of Vancouverites are meeting at Grandview Park (on the Drive) on July 1st, 1:00PM. They stand in solidarity with assaulted Aboriginal and Indigenous women of Canada. I’ve always thought Nations were about exclusion, but I could be wrong. Every time I take a trip abroad, a sense of exclusivity purveys […]
