Tonight at Lanalou's at 830, I'll be doing an acoustic set of all the jail, discipline and police songs. Then you can enjoy the more electric Hell Crimes, Swimming Hammers and Lazy Dynamite.

Court battle over Stanley Park tree removal The debate over how to protect Stanley Park’s forest is ramping up.

Legal argument today and City of Vancouver lawyer Iain Dixon will present his science, which shouldn't take long ;-)

Can someone please teach Steven Quinn the term "genocide"?????

What are School Lockdown Drills Really For? When I first started teaching in 1996, we had a protocol for an “intruder” in or around the building.

Is there no way to book a meeting with you without going through the Green Party of Vancouver? We met with them, explained everything. They agreed the logging is a problem then went silent.

True -- I highly doubt the Vancouver voters will vote for a Green Party candidate who is unwilling to condemn the outright logging of the iconic Stanley Park!

Logging of Vancouver’s Iconic Stanley Park Creating Fire risk In 2023, Stanley Park looked alarming after a cycle of a naturally-occurring looper had consumed the leaves of many hemlock trees, but many…
