Vancouver is part of the Champions League of cities. Renowned for its diversity, culture, breath-taking location and its distinctive architecture, Van is actually called “the greatest city in the world” on the ad for the local CBC news network. Self praise is no praise. Eh?

Allegedly, a pastor in Florida has seen God empower his work to such a degree that around 30 people have come back from the dead. This is just the weirdest claim in a “revival” that is filled to the brim with the actions of a curiously Western Holy Spirit. Gold teeth appear in the mouths [...]

I ain’t no big city lawyer but I reckon it is probably a bad idea for people to take out credit card accounts based on the colour of the cards.
Yet it seems that is the marketing campaign behind Halifax’s approach in Ireland:

For those of you who are fans of Wendell Berry, he has a new short story published in this month’s Atlantic. For those of you who aren’t fans yet, go read it and be converted.
