  11-02-2018 04:37 via vancouversun.com
  Bo Horvat is on the move.
  He’s staying in Vancouver, thankfully. The 22-year-old centre signed a six-year, $33-million contract in September, so he’s probably not going anywhere anytime soon, except to a bigger house.
  Horvat’s two-bedroom, three-bath Yaletown townhouse has been listed for sale by The Matt Pozer Real Estate Group, giving us the rare opportunity to take a tour of the digs he’s leaving behind, and marvel, once again, at the cost of waterfront property in thi

  Stanley’s lawyer argued that Stanley’s handgun went off accidentally when he confronted a group of Indigenous youth who had driven onto his farm after a day of swimming and dr

• SPCA seizes dog after owner tells therapy group he threw it across the room

  11-02-2018 01:00 via vancouversun.com
  A Vancouver man who told a therapy group that he threw his dog across his room in a fit of anger has had the animal taken away.
  The SPCA seized the dog, named Koba, in May after an employee with Vancouver’s Drug Treatment Court overheard the dog’s owner make a comment about the incident during a court-mandated group counselling session. A vet later found the dog had a dislocated leg consistent with being thrown.
  A description of the incident is contained in a Farm Industry Review Boa

• Short summer yields biological desperation to raise young

  11-02-2018 00:36 via vancouversun.com
  COOPER HARBOUR, South Georgia – The waters roil with life as macaroni penguins fly like porpoises past the Zodiac and curious fur seals surround us with heads up to take a look before disappearing once again into the deep.
  The sky is full of birds – several different species of albatross, prions, pin-tail ducks (the only carnivores in the entire family) and petrels.
  On shore, there’s constant movement. Juvenile male fur seals practise being the tough guy – something that
