  Sun (Vancouver)
The Sun, Vancouver's largest daily newspaper (1994 average paid circulation Mon-Thur: 192 609, Fri-Sat: 260 230), first appeared as The Vancouver Sun, 12 February 1912, "to consistently advocate the principles of Liberalism." Under publisher Robert Cromie and his sons, notably Donald Cromie, the Sun tended to support the Liberals but was often critical of them.
Not until its chief rival, The Vancouver Daily Province, suffered a prolonged labour dispute (1946-49) did the Sun emerge as the leading journal of the province.
The majority of Cromie family holdings in Sun Publishing Co were sold to FP Publications Ltd in 1963, and in 1980 SOUTHAM INC bought the newspaper.

 Vancouver Sun report on ACiNW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
North Vancouver Reverend Ed Hird -- spokesman for Anglicans upset with the diocese's June decision to bless same-sex unions -- said Sunday the four high-level Anglicans have said privately they are considering supporting a "flying bishop" in the Lower Mainland.
Ingham, who was initially angered by the unsanctioned visit of the four Anglican leaders to Vancouver, has said the Canadian Anglican church opposes the use of "flying bishops" -- officially known as Alternative Episcopal Oversight -- even though they exist in a few dioceses in Britain that divided over the ordination of women.
This summer's showdown between conservative and liberal Anglicans in Greater Vancouver was ignited when delegates to the diocese's annual meeting voted in June, for the third time, to bless committed relationships between homosexuals.

 Vancouver Sun review
They play it once again, they play it all night long." If that's really how it works up there, most of the glowingly satisfied audience members were more than happy to, for now, be right here on earth, listening to a pop legend whose work remains amazingly varied, unique and vital.
Vancouver's Po' Girl kicked off the highly memorable evening with a soul-drenched set of rootsy songs that move easily between lightness and dark, and offer tinges of myriad shades in between.
Singing songs that ranged from a sombre tribute to the Downtown Eastside's missing women to a breezy tune about meandering along the shoreline, the trio captivated the audience with their fireside-warm sound and laid-back performance style.

 Vancouver Sun praises NPA Budget - News Releases - Vancouver Non-Partisan Association
In Vancouver's last civic election, the Non-Partisan Association campaigned on a platform of fiscal prudence.
While the NPA-led council is to be commended for keeping a lid on tax increases and spending, it failed to address the disparity in the tax burden borne by businesses and residents.
It is to be hoped that the comprehensive economic development strategy council has wisely funded in this budget will examine this issue and make recommendations that will ensure that Vancouver continues to be as great a place to invest as it is to live.

Home and hearth: The 31-year-old Winnipeg native calls East Vancouver home, likening it to a small, densely populated corner of Italy, a cultural melting pot of artisan Florence and decadent Rome, where it's still possible to play bocce ball, argue about soccer and drink the city's best cappuccino.
