Vancouver Papers: Tony Gallagher Buzz Killer

24 Hours reallly pulls out the stops this morning with their lede news item, "Hungary for medal" with this gem, "Despite being considered one of Canada's top athletes, 29-year-old Slowik - the current Canadian discus champion and 2006 Commonwealth Games bronze medalist - doesn't receive enough government funding to sustain him throughout the year." Um, you're a discus thrower, how about getting a real job maybe? Your tax dollars at work. And the nugget that David Hasselhoff was in Vancouver, if only briefly, is too much.

The Sun, goes with the Amish shootings from yesterday, and that kind of takes away from their local news spotlight on this, "B.C. labour tensions rise over foreign workers." Ahhh, yes, clearly with the boom of contruction and the economy, the real problem in BC is those foreign workers. Of course!

The Province clearly not interested in tensions between organized labour and foreign workers goes for the Supreme Court ruling yesterday outlawing extra fees for extra materials at schools. "Vancouver School Board chairman Ken Denike said the ruling may result in some programs having to be cut." Nothing says sweet victory like cuts to fun programs. Hooray! Meanwhile, on the back did the paper let Tony "Skelator" Gallagher design what can only be called, "the hockey page of excitement?" It's terrible. Meanwhile, his two prediction columns this morning are conventional wisdom reality shots. Both subheads tell the story. 1. "Canucks face hard road to postseason" 2. "Canucks will be lucky to squeeze into one of the final playoff spots".
