I just uploaded my May and June FOCUS Magazine articles to Scribd.com – and wow, I guess I was so pissed off<\/a> about the idiot letter in the May issue (which was in response to my April article, It’s the people, stupid<\/a>) that I didn’t even notice until now how badly the magazine had botched my May article: fully twelve words went missing from the beginning of my text, so that it starts in the middle of a sentence and makes no sense at all.<\/p>\n

Um, thanks for that…<\/p>\n

I scribbled in the correction by hand before scanning the article, so at least my online version is corrected.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, for your reading pleasure, please check out May’s Embracing complexity and density<\/a> (where I tear into “Wil” and his pro-suburban low-density ilk) and June’s <\/strong>Blue Bridge blues<\/a>, which criticizes our city council for wanting to tear down a bona-fide heritage structure without so much as a second thought. They’re just itching to rip it down.<\/p>\n

A note to Victoria city council – Mayor Dean Fortin, councilors Sonya Chandler, Philippe Lucas, John Luton, Lynn Hunter, Geoff Young, Chris Coleman, Charlayne Thornton-Joe, and of course our esteemed “heritage-invested” councilor, Pam Madoff: you are wrong, wrong, wrong in rushing to tear down the Johnson Street Bridge.<\/p>\n

As for the heritage crowd in this city: you have shown your true colors, and they’re all in various shades of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

n.b.: Note also that I updated my page<\/a> (which has the Scribd links) to show that the June 2009 article is my final article for FOCUS Magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
