combover Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Rarely if ever read anything from Vancouver media outlets. Doom and gloom and driving forces behind most of the so called controversies with the Canucks. The sports " reporters" in van are more like tabloid story tellers than "reporters" . Fabricating sorties when there isn't one and swooping in like vultures when someone faulters. This kind of crap should be addressed by management and ownership but then again standing up for one another has never been a strong point of this franchise.

In 1960, no one needs to read this nonsense, you are insulting a pretty large population of canucks fans, and non bigoted canucks fans as well Your sarcasm meter is broken. It was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Province can print what they see as okay to print. If we were extremists, someone would get (12 what?) for doing Botchford. Fortunately, we live in the best country, and cheer for the team that represents the best city in the world, where we follow rules of modern democracy. It's okay to laugh, even if a joke may be somewhat distasteful. iMHAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't really the point of free speech. Free speech is the right to say it. If you say unpopular things, just don't expect to make money from it in any society.

Canucks Prophet Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think they're a lousy newspaper company anyways. I find more content in the fee newspapers they hand out every morning at Skytrain stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 There are many valid reason to boycott The Province newspaper, this reason is not one of them. Face it. Virtanen is a big reason Canada lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, because my family actually uses the Province newspapers we receive as padding for the bottom of our trash can. I don't actually know if anyone in my house reads them before doing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive Canuck Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (commentor on the province site) Thomas Waite You are a hack writer Jason, and the reason a lot of Canucks underperform. You create a furor when there really shouldn't be, and a sense of entitlement in the city that creates a win or die atmosphere, with no room for talent development. You kill players passion, and are a complete hack. Find a new career, or move away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I cancelled that tabloid rag about 10 years ago when they told people there was no reason to vote NDP because they would be the official opposition. In my view it ceased to be a news source I would consider as unbiased. And to offset what I assume was lost subscriptions the cost kept jumping. The irony of the editorial writings in that paper demanding that people accept that in tough economic times we all must do our part and not ask for raises we can't afford....... and then jacking the price of their product constantly ... Well I am not funding the BC Liberal party newsletter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
