Vancouver city council has decided to pay the savings forward after this summer's three-month civic strike. For wallowing in filth and dealing with a lack of services for three long, hot months, property owners and businesses will be getting a break on their taxes. A whopping $40 for the average property owner and $220 for businesses.
Renters, like us, get nothing.

what colour is the sky on your planet, Mr. Bush?
A good dissection of The Prez's prime-time speech last night from washingtonpost.com by Dan Froomkin. Thankfully, I don't have a TV - so I missed the talking head - but you can read the whole, painful speech here.
I am a little confused as to why, if everyone *knows* he is full of shit, no one has impeached him yet - but my understanding of US politics ranks up there with my understanding of fission.
Yes, it is long, but well worth the read.
