Former Vancouver Sun editor and longtime foe of free speech paragon Kirk LaPointe has been chosen to be the Non-Partisan Association candidate for mayor of Vancouver in November's civic elections, thereby proving that any idiot off the street can be selected as a candidate at any time once a political party is seriously on the decline.
Now we don't want people going crazy about this selection, we've all heard the rumours of satanic masses and human sacrifice, we've all heard the rumours of Jewish kids writing witty parodies of the Vancouver Sun being dragged through the courts during Mr. Lapointe's watch, we're not here to debate the truth of these rumours, we're sure you'll find at least one of these rumours to be true if you Google it extensively enough, thereby making it likely (or unlikely) that all the rumours are true, no we'll leave it to you the reader to decide.
What we do know is that this city will be much worse off, a much darker place if this 'ethically challenged' individual gains any kind of power whatsoever over our lives. Certainly the right to parody the regime will become much more dangerous. Just ask the folks at Seriously Free Speech (seriouslyfreespeech.ca). They could tell you a lot.....
