Wendy, instead of stalking Dave’s washing machines and trying to psychically communicate with him through my blog, you might want to leave a comment on HIS blog.

Dear David Eby,

I was pleasantly surprised to see you riding your bicycle and dropping off your laundry at Shirtland Drycleaning Store.
I live right across the street in the Windchimes apts. #502.
Every morning I check the two free washing machines in Windchimes to make sure they are clean and to empty out the lint filters of the dryers. Everone else seems to forget this simple task. I fix the machines!

What happened in Geneva? This is a great honour to be invited!
I have a job interview coming up in April to be a volunteer
at Pivot Legal Agency.
You are welcome to visit me at home for coffee/tea.

Sincerely,
Wendy A.S. Mayer

Yes, NOW the cops will do something about it. They already knew who he was and how he made his money. I’d like to see the papers publish the name of the realtor who sold him the place; that would be the end of THAT career.

Also: ladies and gentlemen, please do not delude yourself into thinking that pot is a wholesome, Ma and Pa Hippie trade. It’s owned by organized crime, and people get killed for it. I knew a woman whose son was a pot mule, and they killed him and dumped the body in Victory Square.

Yes, I’d heard something to that effect. I watched a DVD called “Cocaine Cowboys” a few weeks ago. It was about the transformation of Miami from quiet, retirement getaway to gleaming, urban supercity as cocaine profits flooded the banks in the late 70s/early 80s. The same thing has been happening in Vancouver over the past 15 years. At certain points during the documentary, the similarity was uncanny.

Did you hear about this past weekend’s gangland assassination of a leading Asian drug kingpin in the Shaughnessy neighbourhood (the most expensive, old money homes in the city)? The deceased’s 10 year old daughter called 911 to tell the police her father had been shot. The violence is creeping into elite turf now. It’s too bad our economy is so hooked on the illegal proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The residents won’t change their political views, though. Not even when their own start getting caught in the crossfire.

Did you know that every third dollar that is laundered runs through either Montreal or Vancouver? Thanks to our laxer reporting laws a lot of money that used to be run through New York is now moved North.
