Riot-friendly city
The measures being looked at to avoid a repeat of last years Stanley Cup riots are a sick joke. If the province and city had had the guts or the will to seriously pursue, charge and prosecute those who took part last year (like they did in the UK after their riots), THAT would have been the biggest and most effective deterrent. However, despite the Premiers empty threat to name and shame all the rioters, the fact that only a comparative handful were identified and even they were let offvirtuallyScot-free is a green light for them to do it again . . . if the Canucks get to the final again of course.

Re: Rants Mar. 8. I hope the theft from a parked car serves as a warning to all sad, but what were you thinking? ALWAYS carry your passport in a money belt under your clothing! It takes forever to replace so treat it like gold!

Re: Rants, Mar. 8. Two words : Stanley Park. It has ALL the lawn space you need. The beach front also offers ample lawn space. The park with the laughing men sculptures is too small for anything else BUT these wonderful laughable characters. Do you think children dont visit the beach ? Must the children be banished to Science World toenjoy life? Cant you see the humour in these wonderful characters that put a smile on many locals and visitors faces. Just look at the crowds that visit them.

Like taking a bank robbers money
Even if the Conservatives had absolutely nothing to do with the robocalls, they still benefitted from them. Their argument is the same as a mans who finds a large sum of money on the street dropped by someone who robbed a bank I didnt rob the bank but I should get to keep the money. Guess how the cops and the banks would react?

Contempt of court
I wonder how many people are aware that Bill 22 by the BC neo-Liberals is the exact same thing that was overturned by the Supreme Court. They are a government with contempt for the rule of law just like their counterparts in Ottawa.

Iran vs deliquent smokers
Id like to put life in perspective for all you Rantline callers. There are much bigger things to worry about. Iran possibly building nuclear weapons, global warming, terrorism... We lose sight of that when we go ballistic over cigarette butts on the ground.
