pigleg pete Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Heard on CBC radio "The Early Show" this morn of a Vancouver BC household who has a Pirate Treehouse. They've been attacked by petty bureaucrats who say they need to spend $4000 or so for a building permit, even though the treehouse is not visible from the road. Flying under false colors, the city were, since they had told these noble folk that they did not need any permit when they began. I'm trying to find out a link, picture, etc - any Canadian Pirates out there? I think these fool bureacrats need to be keel-hauled - or at least drowned in ridicule!

Hester Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Oh, that's Vancouverites for you -- ya think they're all "lotus-land" pot-smoking gay grooms, but they're really a bunch of small "c" conservatives, and very uptight. Cheers, Hester ... a Torontonian with Vancouverite in-laws
