The Georgia Straight

Reviews by Tom Paille on June 28th, 2026 at 8:51 AM Former the Police drummer Stewart Copeland stopped by the Hollywood Theatre last night to chat about some things, including growing up and finding his way into music and into the Police with a sold-out theatre of drummers, guitarists and other friends. Copeland is a great story-teller with the humour and insights of the youngest sibling or the guy behind the kit. These stories and more are also available in his new book Have I Said Too Much?

The Quinn Hughes trade is now complete. In return for trading the franchise defenceman to the Minnesota Wild, the Vancouver Canucks received Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Öhgren, and Adam Novotný. For a long while, that last spot was "first-round pick." With the Canucks’ selection of Czech left wing Novotný, that mystery is now removed. So what do we know about Novotný? Well, he brings a couple of attributes that the Canucks are clearly trying to stack in rebuilding the roster.

After the smokescreen faded yesterday, the result that many had believed was a foregone conclusion for several months became a reality. The Vancouver Canucks did, indeed, take the coach’s son with the third overall pick. On balance, it’s almost definitely not as bad as it sounds. Partly because it sounds terrible. But, as we’ve been told many times by scouts of all shapes and sizes, Malhotra did deserve top billing at this draft.

posted June 25th, 2026 at 3:42 PM Our building has a pool and these two old ladies hang out there all the time. And all they do is bitch, moan and complain, especially the one who I can’t tell is wrinkling from excessive sun damage of from the effects of her soul as she bit yes and moans the joy out her life and her periphery. And they talk so loud as they go through a list of complaints ranging from everything under the sun. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan moan moan. OMG, so negative.
