Vancouver Papers: The Sun Gets The Smut On

The Sun kind of gets it's smut on this morning with the "Former teacher faces sex charges" Of course the teacher in question is using the old, "the issue at trial will be whether Ellison's conduct was considered a criminal act under the law as it was at the time" defense. Classic. And finally someone was arrested in that fatal Porsche Cayenne SUV hit and run that killed two in downtown. You remember, this was rumoured to be Dan Cloutier. Still not saying who they arrested. And they use the top of the paper for more hot Dalai Lama action. He shares his secret to happiness. I'd be happy too if I was the Lama.

The Province's cover is secret newspaper code for "slow news day". "Mom wants police to say sorry" the story about the 13-year old who was pulled out of his family car by some non-uniform police officers. He scraped his knee. Wow, two off duty cops actually tried to help, they were wrong, boo hoo lady. Boo Hoo. Summer may be over, sort of, but the debate heats up over more beach and park restaurants ("Vancouver to expand beach bistros"). If they are all welcomed with the tragedy that is Watermark, well, maybe not such a good idea.

24 Hours is almost totally useless today. I think they're still on about the taser case. Honestly. But I think I fell in like with B.C. Lion's safety Baron Miles. Not only has he smugly named one of his kids Baron II, he ends the profile on him like this: "I'm working on my media room. I want the whole media setup," he laughed. "If you know anybody that has a good deal to install it, I'm looking for people." So awesome!

Those delta cops that busted that youth we're actually under the impression he was going to turn the car on and just idle for more than 3 minutes.
