Bill C-52 will put that to a stop! have willingly self-shamed myself for allowing myself to be so busy co-running a business, working long hours and 7 day weeks; that I have totally forgotten about the world around our little business. My sources to keeping me up-to-date are our customers, with a recent wake-up […]

Time flies…week 2 of my clerkship ended with a graveyard shift in emergency on Friday. On my way to the hospital that night, an ambulance passed me by, and it took a while for it to sink in that both of us were heading to the same place, that I will get to […]

Hmmm.
Call me paranoid, but is it me or has there been a steady flux of Super-American-Heroe s invading the silver screen since 9-11?
Pop-cultural-wise, what does this mean to us the hapless consumers? When we are current laid seige by a barrage of Alien red caped wonders, Home-grown genetic mutants, the spider-bittens and the human-tech augmented […]

Millions of adults and children have watched the beloved Disney Films for years. These films have been shown in our homes as early as 1937, when the first Disney movie, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, was released.

Once again I have picked up the metaphorical quill and began to dampen it’s point into the ink pot of life. Or less pretentiously, it’s mother-fucking rant time. Have you ever tried to quit smoking? I don’t recommend it. If you’re tired of smoking, try sucking on […]

Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery have been around for centuries – but does going plastic really ensure you get into the best night clubs, bars…and pants?
The reasoning behind this booming fad…well, scientists haven’t quite been able to figure that one out yet, but recent studies have shown that the mindset of a silicone-enhanced person is […]

Usually when it comes to sex, people don’t really bother considering it in terms of the law - needless to say it’s a very personal thing. I was surfing the net and reading articles about prostitution in Vancouver and decided I wanted to take a look at the legal side of it. I discovered […]

B.C. Gov to Workers: Don’t Change Wages Midstream.

The most livable city is starting to seem a little less livable. As of today, Alberta’s minimum wage now exceeds British Columbia’s by 40 cents an hour. Considering that when I lived in Calgary in 2002, the minimum wage was $5.90, this is a big leap for Alberta. Then again, maybe all minimum wage increases […]

Z-Day has come and gone. March 15th was the official date for world wide events, based around the viewing of the movie Zeitgeist. Multiple venues around Vancouver were involved in housing viewings. If you haven’t watched this monumental think-piece of a movie, you are missing out. Whether you decide to take […]
