Province Editorial (In its entirety): "Welcome to topsy-turvey land, where shops are forced by law to conceal legal tobacco products behind heavy, black curtains or padlocked panels so as not to give our young'uns the wrong impression. But Main or Hastings Streets shops selling pot seeds, pipes and other gizmos to boost one's illegal buzz are free to tout their wares on sidewalk signs for all to see". This topsy-turvey land is lame. Apparently there are no BARS in this strange place. Also, apparently in this world parents are retarded and schools offer no drug education. They also seem to allow 8th Graders access to the editorial section of the major daily newspaper.

Olympic Protesters: "Now, we understand the rights in a democratic society for its citizens to wage protests against whatever it is that has crawled up inside them, blah, blah, blah... but really folks, for the good of moving forward, enough is enough". I love this this trick that right wing hacks pundits use wherein they're all like, "we prefer it when we don't actually know there's a protest going on" approach. You can demonstrate, just do it over there, away from me, all the while completety justifying the protesters' actions by devoting an entire editorial on it. "We live in a generous, benevolent country with a rich history of constructive and meaningful protest", which you fought tooth and nail each step of the way. Greenpeace? Clayoquat? Woodsquat? Eagleridge?

From no-fun city to party central. Then right back to no-fun city again.
