Hello everyone, I am newcomer from Afghanistan and I am journalist with 6 year experience and I am…read more21 years old I would like to join with CBC but I don't know how if someone help me I will happy send DM on ( Sohailshafaq35@gmail.com ) thanks

This morning, I delayed an appointment because The Debaters was on the radio…read more SO giddy was I, that I sent a quick apology to my 11:30, hunkered down into my parked car, and spent a half hour voluntarily huddled on the side of the road, giggling over a coffee. And in that moment of pure radio gluttony, I knew CBC would be my #200. I'm a bonafide CBC radio fangirl. I know, I know... it's a hip and glamourous declaration indeed, but it's true. Maybe it was eight straight hours on every road trip out to Alberta; or the excitement of seeing those blue highway signs after 100km of no reception... or the summer that my cd player stopped working and I decided I was too "hip" for top 40's, instead hunkering down to the Q and As It Happens in traffic...somewhere along the lines, CBC radio one became less of a creature comfort or nostalgic outlet and more of a current obsession. Now on any given day, i'll check in to see what's what in Canadiana. As It Happens, The Q, The Debaters - all staples in my CBC fan book. But I suppose the thing I appreciate the most is the one-offs you stumble upon. Sure, sometimes there are dud programs... like the ones with the flowery poetry and the very enthusiastic someone manning a musical triangle... but often, i'll stumble upon a total gem. It might be a great yarn of a story, or something that reminds me of home; maybe i'll recognize someone, or stumble upon a local artist I hadn't heard of; sometimes it's Steward Maclean telling Dave Cooks The Turkey in the middle of the summer... the point is that it's a smorgasborg of art, culture and stories that I wouldn't otherwise seek out, but am better off for having heard them. And with world news on the hour and local every half, you can hear a grand yarn, catch up on the world, check up on what's down the street and learn how to be debt free in 60 minutes. Not too bad eh? So CBC radio, I tip my hat to you in the most enthusiastic of fashions - thank you for not changing anything about your programming long enough for me to reach an age where I finally appreciate it.

I certainly prefer WE over the Georgia Straight. It doesn't seem to be as saturated with…read moreadvertising, and the reporting tends to be a lot more objective. I hate reading articles in the Straight and they're trying to tell me what my opinion should be, no thanks. And then in the articles, such as on the plate with Andrew Morrison, now obviously these are excrutiatingly subject, and we should all know that. Though, his articles tend to have personality, you get the feeling that you are having a conversation with Mr Morrison. All around WE is far superiour to the Georgia Straight, and always provides a great read.

Feel that small soft spot, right near the left of the middle of my twee heart? That's where my love…read moreof the printed word lives. When I first moved to Vancouver years ago, it was a time when the prevalence of the internet and its unyielding powers had yet to take over; a time when MySpace and Tom (hi Tom!) were still *the* place to find out about new music and to make new (online) friends; a time when events and concerts were discovered via the newspaper or word of mouth; a time when when some people in the western world who hadn't heard of Craigslist actually existed. It was a time of the alt-weekly. Naturally, I gravitated toward the two most popular weeklies in Vancouver (one of which I worked for, so can't review, but love nonetheless). Which brings me to WE. Formerly known as the Westender, this paper (it would seem) is really trying to up its game these days. It's always (for as long as I've known it) published Rob Brezny's Free Will Astrology (don't know it? You do now. You're welcome), which I adore; and has a relatively high standard in terms of their editorial choices, but what it's always lacked, is an edge. What made the Westender (now known as WE) any better than the competition? (I'm not even joking about the Free Will Astrology. It was the only reason I picked the paper up) What it was deficient of in the years prior, it's gained the the last year or so. Smart hiring of staff and contract writers has made for a more rich and unique reading experience. Yes, there's still Rants and Raves, but now has additions of the likes of Kurtis Kolt (Vancouver wine darling/expert/consultant/all-around nice guy) and his weekly "City Cellar' column (winos, take note). And though Andrew Morrison has been a restaurant critic for the paper since 2005, his success with his own project, Scout, has made for a much more exposed look into the restaurant scene in Vancouver. Add those to the regular local news and editorials, and this is a quality weekly. It's these, and Rob Brezny that keep me picking the paper up. So keep it up, WE. I think you're hitting a stride.

Gotta say I was expecting to be blown away by this now just-sales store version of the late…read moreVideomatica. Having been a die-hard fan of the old rental store and retail laser-disc store next door back in the day, this one just didn't deliver the same movie magic. There are lots of mostly new titles but frankly not enough used items, as the unopened items are listed at astronomical prices ($50+ for each title!) and way out of range for the average collector. A few laser discs (need more) and a cool old Videodrome decal on the top of one of the displays, but overall not worth going out of your way for.

I love this place. Just to preface I'm going to be reviewing the MOVIE aspect of the place and not…read morethe music. Sorry. I come here whenever I get the chance, pretty much the last serious place that caters to true cinephiles in the Lower Mainland (I gave up on Sunrise Records after they stopped selling Criterion). Most of their prices are equal if not less than what you'd find on Amazon, at their cheapest, and they're always totally up to date with the newest blu ray releases. The guy who always works the counter there always seems grateful for my business and I'm always happy to give it. My favorite spot in Kits, the place is quite small but I can get lost in its blu ray and DVD collection for hours looking at so many elusive and classic movie titles. It earns my full recommendation.
