the good thing about the Canucks being on the road (other than they seem to play better away from home)
is there is some sweet ice available for a pick up game. This was Weds night.

This has to be fake news, why would these world renowned scientists choose to work at crappy BC universities?

Kirsty Duncan, the minister of science, announced the appointments in a ceremony in Ottawa today.

In a statement, she congratulated the four scientists and said the federal government would "continue [to] encourage our country's brain gain by promoting our openness, diversity and willingness to welcome the scientists and strivers of the world."

The University of Toronto will receive two new researchers: neuroscience researcher Donna Rose Addis and genetics researcher Miguel Ramalho-Santos.

B.C. will also welcome two new researchers: infectious disease specialist Caroline Colijn from Imperial College London will be going to Simon Fraser University and computer scientist Margo Seltzer from Harvard will be going to the University of British Columbia.

That's a shot from my place on Vancouver Island, by the way - It's a rain-snow mix in Burnaby as I type.

light snow started in Van at about 9.
by noon, I am driving up Granville rise, and there is one of those double length buses, stuck and taking up parts of all three lanes. all of the other busses are stuck behind him as far as the eye can see.
so there's a single lane going south, having to drive into oncoming traffic to get past this damned bus.

this city, man.

I know the industry body rejects it but I think some body shops are doing serious overcharging

though I do know a body shop owner and he told me recently about an NSX that came into his shop (yes ... with an N) with what looked like minimal front end damage (showed me a picture of it) ... replacement parts costs $60,000 to get
