You got $100 from the government. Now what are you going to do?
Posted by: Nicole on: June 28, 2008
Climate action dividend cheques are arriving in the mail. Apparently, they’re to help people make green choices. And on Monday or Tuesday a new 2.4 cents/litre gas tax goes on (oh and it also goes on natural gas, so even if you don’t own a car, you’re getting hit with it anyways. So are the [...]

Seriously, folks. This is just too good and deserves an “I told you so”.
Despite increasing fares so that a round trip from Vancouver to Surrey costs in the vicinity of $10 now (oh and don’t forget the TL Board’s raises – that they approved themselves), TransLink is facing a $300 million shortfall by 2012.

For the last two weeks or so, Darren and I have been looking for a Wii Fit. This has proved to be a rather difficult endeavour as they’ve been sold out across Canada. One option was to order another Wii with the Fit – but that would take 3 weeks and then we’d have another [...]
