    Many Canadians are giddy at the prospect that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be moving to Canada, injecting some razzle dazzle to the sprawling, bone-chillingly cold country. nyti.ms/309RJhP

    We got 2 new roommates last week! Say hi to Francesca & Leo Fumano! Thank you to my beautiful wife Megan who did the (literal) heavy lifting, and to all the caring, dedicated staff at BC Women's Hospital, who were amazing during what must be an incredibly difficult time...

    Local First Nations have expanded their plans for Jericho Lands, unveiling new vision today that’s less like a typical real estate development and more like a whole new neighbourhood. 13,000 homes would be more than most existing Vancouver neighbourhoods vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

    When Brady Leavold emailed me last year, he didn’t know if I’d remember him. But I did right away. I was the only one, other than his parents, in court when the once-promising hockey pro was sent to jail in 2016. A comeback story 6 years in the making:

    Walking home alone last night, heard some commotion as I crossed Cambie Street — a car stopped at a red light, full of girls shouting excitedly, a celebrity sighting!! I looked around, but couldn’t see anyone nearby. The girls were shouting to me, asking if I was Seth Rogen.

    RIP Philip Owen, the “silk tie Shaughnessy silver spoon guy” who became a champion for the downtrodden, fighting to open North America’s first safe injection site for drug users, which probably cost him his political career — and saved countless lives. vancouversun.com/news/former-va…
