I’ve always said that if the socialists in Canada (Liberal and leftward) insist on being socialists, then at least they should get their priorities straight. Food, shelter, clothing —all come well before television and radio (CBC), choo-choo trains (Via Rail), car insurance in BC and elsewhere (with optional towing package!), state-run liquor stores, and so much more.
So they should really take over all the housing like in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and North Korea, and other places; and take over all the Safeway and other food stores and Macdonalds restaurants too; then take over the manufacturing and distribution of all the clothing lines and stores. The Gap division of the Liberal Party—seems a perfect fit! Cough. Or the Banana Republic division!
Well maybe they’re listening!

Tuning in on Robson Street
Concord is building the residential towers jointly with the CBC[…] Concord is building the two towers as a joint venture with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to redevelop the block into a sleek residential and commercial complex.
Concord won the bid to buy the property from CBC in 2004, which Negrin believes was partly in response to their proposal to integrate the residential towers with the national broadcasting company.
“We always envisioned the site as integrated with CBC, there’s even a walkway connecting it to CBC. The towers have a very active design, incorporating colour into the building.”
The orange of CBC is on the skin of the building and different mauves and greens are being used in the balcony glass, which again helps to tie the buildings into the CBC.
CBC is revamping its headquarters, to make it an more open and inviting building and more a part of the surrounding community. Construction on the new CBC building will begin in the spring, with completion slated for 2009.
I’ll bet you the stylin’ is “European”!
I love some of the advertising at the obviously very expensive web site. In some ways it reminds me of the advertising the Liberals used in their negative attack hate ads during their campaign of hate against conservative Canadians (check the last line):
Residents of TV Towers enjoy exclusive membership to The Network, which has all the amenities you’d expect, plus the unexpected. When you want some downtime from all the excitement of downtown living, rejuvenate in the yoga/pilates studio. Or feel the burn in the fitness room then relax in the warmth of the steam room and sauna.
Chill with friends in the games room or challenge them to a game of pool, air hockey or foosball. Catch a show in the theatre or watch the big game in the Sports Lounge. Cheer on the Canucks and Lions. Better yet, head to the big game at their home base, just down the street from your home base.
A life this exciting couldn’t be scripted.
We did not make this up!
They’ve apparently made up a name for the big state development: “TV Towers”. Names they might have really wanted but passed up for now:
· Gay Marriage Erections
· Palestinian Freedom Towers
· Terrorists are Freedom Fighters Towers One and Two
· George Bush is a War Criminal Memorial Towers
· Relief Centre from Conservatives Who Are Extreme Christian Freaks and Barbarians
· Halliburton Habitat for Human Rights and Gay Marriage
· The Watergate
· Orgasm-o-Rama
Here’s some of the pictures on the big project’s web site.
