ROLE MODEL OR BEER MODEL?



















So what is the message here? I would say that the people in charge of the women's hockey team need to be taught a lesson. How about charging them,

supplying liquor to minors

supplying tobacco to minors

and why not slap a 5 day liquor sales ban on the owners of the venue?

Nice way to promote our heros, Molson's et al

As for the Women's team! GRRRREEAATT! And may their celebration be long and joyful and a little bit more discrete.

On the Water
















The threatened fence from bridge to the sea floor in False Creek is not there. Under the Cambie bridge there are half a dozen long sausage like black rubber bladders strung across the waterway. On them a few signs with really small printing. Also tied up was an RCMP RIB with some navy and RCMP members on it. Even though they were tied up to the barrier, they had both gas motors running! As we got close enough to read the sign, the RCMP on board came out and yelled at us to stay away 50 meters. We suggested he up the font size on his warning signs as the encourage boaters to come close enough to read them. BTW, they mention nothing about 50m keep away. I guess the police had to look like they knew what they were doing there. I suggest, next time boys, read the sign yourself, before you start to try enforce it. You might have a different approach.

Situational Awareness

(click on image to enlarge)
As the protest left the VAG on Friday the 12 of Feb, there was an 2010 branded car directly in the way of the protest marchers. I took a quick shot and noticed the guy in the front seat seemed to be praying and then he got out and ran into the TD bank. Who is he? Why did he run? Who let them drive into the 4000-5000 person crowd? So this begs the question.

What the Fuck happened ? Did we not just spend more then a Billion dollars on security? Are the holes really this big? Could we not have taken the extra cops we saved, by putting the flame behind a fence, and assigned them to protection, or at least route planning for the 2010 VIP's?
