Cash is now, thanks to Rubin, the epitome of cool. More so than some of his colleagues--do any high school kids you know have George Jones t-shirts?
Not many teens have Springsteen shirts for that matter unless they're being deeply ironic.

Accurate headline if it was from 1989 not 2025.

Don't forget his remarkable Tony Wilson tombstone. I believe it even has its own FAC catalogue number.

If America invades we have a ready list of shibboleths with which to test suspected operatives.

I hope it's investigated.
Weaver was furious with me when I pointed it out--turns out he had nothing to do with it; it was Andrew that took his letter of endorsement and turned it into a mailer that appeared to come directly from Weaver who later strongly disavowed having anything to do with it.

Nothing from EBC regarding Oak Bay-Gordon Head candidate Stephen Andrew? He had sent out a mailer last year that was made to look like it came from Andrew Weaver (the envelope said "From the desk of Andrew Weaver") who was not registered as a third party sponsor.

The most important task society needs to solve is where the tap is on the card reader terminal should permanently be. The top? The side? The bottom? Let's figure this out, people.

I see it as a correction--prices hopefully falling to their natural level.

Don't worry about fiddling its placement, the room's not even built yet! Once the toilet is installed you can get them to move it over a few inches.

Some of you younger people may have noticed the letters CC on an email and wondered where the term originated. It means "carbon copy" and means a duplicate. The abbreviation originated from the old 1980 movie "The Empire Strikes Back" where the carbonite Han Solo could be used to make replicas.

Dear Alberta,
Could you please get your act together? I'm tired of you in my timeline.

I honestly don't know what they're trying to convey here. Do the numbers represent the busses that carry bikes? What are the arrows pointing at?

CPP bought Hillside in 2010 for $113.5 million. It's managed on their behalf by BentallGreenOak.

Victoria has made efforts to do that but with limited success. Replacing the Abbey Apartments at Fisgard and Quadra with a larger number of much more expensive units was seen as a net improvement.

Reminds me of business advertisements where they put a QR code instead of a phone number.
