Vancouver News: Shootings, Overdoses, Cougars

I find it hard to even bother reading or watching the local news lately. This makes it hard to blog about actual events in the city. And I'm lazy. But then you make an effort to catch up and you read:

*Two dead in Vancouver shooting.

*Death by overdose up in Vancouver

*Vancouver great city despite its rotten core.

*Vancouver needs to haggle. City doesn't seem to understand how to negotiate with striking workers.

*Northwest Cougars Hunt—and Are Hunted by—Younger Men

*After the cut: On the Lot's Zach Lipovsky dishes on `unreal' reality TV

All of this is kind of boring. Well, except the revelations of the origin of the term cougar, but come on.

Best line I've read so far this week: "I’m in New York City, for no reason at all other than to expand my carbon footprint. It’s a performance art piece, really." Tim Blair is funny.
