How B.C. became a world crime superpower : Canada : News : Sympatico / MSN – Annotated
Maclean’s will no doubt get trashed by all the usual suspects for this article, but there’s a lot of truth in it. The underground economy, the black market, the “cottage industry” that takes on the mantle of natural rights, the exporting of the problem to other countries, the cavalier attitude toward “BC Bud” … it can’t be swept under the rug or discounted.
MetroCascade (for Victoria)- My Twitter updates
- YuleHeibel: In Victoria, it seems that small 1.0 minds keep censorship alive in a world trying to be 2.0.
- YuleHeibel: Sweeping Health Care Plan Passes House http://tinyurl.com/yasbbsr Still too many hangups on abortion, but at least a step in rt direction.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 I signed up for that - I'll see you there, Raul. Looking forward to it.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 That's very sweet (& generous), thx. But I'm at a dead-end here, either I leave or get a job bagging groceries at Safeway.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Or maybe it's the other way around (re. shallow grave)? Too little to live, too much to die? Whatever. Island DNA replicates.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 Oh, I mean Victoria alright. I'd move to Vancouver, but right now Seattle (or US) looks interesting, too.
- YuleHeibel: @KathySierra Totally agree. Came here as adventure, but need to realize it's not "my" place. Wld like to come home (US), actually.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Yeah, Victoria is a shallow grave. Its depth is measured by too little to die, too much to live.
- YuleHeibel: I feel like I live in the city of betrayals. And disappointments. Time to leave.
- YuleHeibel: GREAT summary /article: Johnson Street Bridge refurbishment the smarter choice: expert | VibrantVictoria.ca http://bit.ly/TJVTN
