garran | I think it's actually their editorial columnists, but I couldn't tell you for sure.

The Globe and Mail (I think) is running a bizarre series of ads. They say, "It's not just Vancouver," and then a picture of someone's face, and then, depending on the name of the person photographed, "It's Tony Glunton's Vancouver," or what have you. I've seen two, so far. When I encountered the first, I imagined that she had seized control of the city in a violent coup; when the second was indicated to me, it became clear that they headed rival gangs, vying for power. An enterprising samurai could really clean up.
