Province pushes to get Lower Mainland residents to pay more taxes for transit: Talking to all the parties involved in trying to resolve TransLink’s financial mess is starting to remind me of sitting at the dinner table every night with your about-to-divorce parents. They keep insisting everything is fine and they’re having long constructive talks about some diff...
Vancouver engineering head retires: I’ve been hearing about Tom Timm’s impending retirement for a year, one of the names that kept popping up on the list of “people most likely to get fed up and quit after Vision and Penny Ballem took over.” Then I also heard that he’d been saying even before that he w...
Data junkies alert: More info now available from Vancouver data sources: The city just sent out a memo saying it has added more to its list of “open” data sources available to the geek-prone public. Here’s the site for what’s available: http://data.vancouver.ca/

Transit tests out hybrid bus: Times Colonist Can you hear the wailing and the gnashing of teeth? Once again the sub editors have undermined a transit story. The whole point about this bus isn’t that it is a “hybrid” (I am not at all sure it meets any normal usage of that term) but that it runs on hydrogen. T...
Mayors fear being railroaded on transit financing: BC Local News Speculation about what the province intends to do about financing the Evergreen Line continues.  The Mayors think they ought to be consulted – but it looks rather like legislation is in the offing The province’s solution is expected to be contained in a new overhaul...

Post-Games polling reveals little about some of the most important questions: Last week’s Innovative Resarch poll on 2010 Games public opinion, summarized here, tells us little we couldn’t have surmised on our own: the four-in-ten British Columbians who never wanted the Games never changed their minds; those who were undecided going into the Games had the time...

Dr. Julio Montaner and International AIDS Society Upbraided for Wasting Money: One of the best parts about observing people who are always accusing their philosophical opponents of playing politics, is that, more often than not, they are simply trying to deflect their own political agenda from scrutiny–by doing precisely that to which they object. A great example of s...
Another Hollywood Drug Story Ends in the Inevitable Way: Death: I never did drugs. I’m not sure why. I suppose it probably had to do with the fact that I took my athletics very seriously growing up. And, too, I was never comfortable with the loss of control I noticed in others. It didn’t hurt either that I watched another boy in one of my classes ...

Sacred and Secular: If you’re satiated with stories and images about Vancouver – but still fascinated with the urban condition – take a breather at the Jennifer Kostiuk Gallery at 1070 Homer until March 14 for some extraordinary images from other lands.

Why we need to tax unhealthy foods: “I think this issue of health promotion has to go far beyond just printing brochures and telling people they ought to live a healthier life. I think we have to figure out how we can be much more aggressive in pushing that kind of health promotion onto British Columbians.” – Kevi...
The Olympics are over, time to jump start our festivals!: The cauldron has been extinguished, the venues are being dismantled, and traffic is back to normal. Yes, the Games are officially over.

Two Meanings of Never Again: As Darfur and Rwanda have undermined the international meaning of the phrase “Never Again”, does this expression still have relevance? To Israelis, it absolutely does, though the creed has a much more specific interpretation in this country and among the diaspora: The phrase, “N...
Will Israel Become a Pariah State?: It’s looking more and more like a strong possibility. The odd support of the left around the world in support of an extreme right wing violent agenda may make this a reality: This problem is not exactly new, though the trends have certainly worsened over the past few years. For years after...

Why I am not at South by South West Interactive #sxsw: There is this big techie, geek, music nerd conference called “South by South West Interactive” (SxSWi or for someone, SxSW). It’s happening right now and there are a number of friends of mine from Vancouver (about 80) who are there. Admittedly, going there and having more in-dep...
Bic 3 Comfort Advance Razor review: First rule of travelling is to never pack at the last minute. Unfortunately that happens to me quite a lot with the super busy schedule I have.

And when the Olympics are over, then what?: As I write this, there’s an erie calm in the air in Whistler before the storm of Feb. 12. Everything is ready, more than ready. Manned snow plows wait, idling, with their lights on, in pulloffs along the clear, balmy Sea to Sky highway, with no snow in the forecast for the foreseeable futur...

Rather, it was when Nixon and ...

Promoting Vancouver in Ottawa is smart politics: Scenes like this, whether it is our former Mayor or our current Mayor sitting down with the Prime Minister, are positive and unworthy of petty political criticism.
