Vancouver Papers: Angels, Dumping, Ryan, Baby.

The Sun ledes with the "Epic B.C. securities case ends in failure" but who cares they're rolling with a MASSIVE Hell's Angel's logo on the top of the paper. That's so badass. The article about the police agreeing to pay $1 million to an Angels informer. Then the other big story is about "The High Life Takes a Hit" about vacaction condos facing soaring costs (Oh No!) and the proposed law about pleasure boats that may not be able to dump their waste any old place anymore (Oh Crap!).

The Province ledes with the killing in North Vancouver, "The family of a murdered bottle picker, a man with the mind of a 10-year-old, remembered him yesterday as a simple man leading a simple life." Then on the back, the puntastic "Craving Private Ryan" the story about how Philadephia Flyers GM Bob Clarke signed Canuck Ryan Kessler (Get the headline! Punny, right!) to a $1.9 million offer sheet. Dave Nonis, "D;oh!"

24 Hours goes with the slasher story as it's main headline, but it's still in an on the water mood, with "One -of-a-kind tugboat" about the 130-foot, 101-year-old tugboat Sea Lion. But most disturbing is the page 4 story, "Kicking back, doggy style" about the Rex Hotel and Spa for dogs set to open in November. Hey it's 60 bucks a night, but get this, "The Rex Hotel + Spa will aspire to keep their "clients" schedules and diets as close to what they would experience at home, complete with glass-enclosed suites, an outdoor play area with water park and a mini-bar stuffed with tasty treats." A freakn' minibar?

Metro Vancouver ledes with a scandal at St. Paul's Hospital. It would seem there is a sneaky way to jump the queue for some services there by paying a private clinic. Here's the part I don't get. The people who paid, jumped the queue then went and told everyone about it shutting down the fun for everyone.

The people who payed for the MRI's at St.Pauls hospital used the MRI's only when their not being used-off hours. This is a all around plus-keeps the money in Canada and lessons the waite list for the MRI's plus lessens the financial government health care burdens in which the tax payers pay for.
