The Dish

I think it is great that Vancouver is getting some (long deserved) press from one of the national newspapers in this country. No small feat in itself given that both national newspaper headquarters are in Toronto.

Ms. Gill should also be given a little credit for actually making this happen as well.

The Globe wanted to transfer her back to Toronto a little while ago and when she voiced her objections to this move (who in their right mind wouldn't), the management came up with this compromise.

I personally don't care about the Godiva's article and that's all I'm saying on that subject.

As far as it sounding like a society page, etc. I have to agree but given that I have seen many, many posts about what movie and screen stars dine where in this forum, it is obviously what the public wants. Or the majority anyways and herd mentality tends to win everytime.

Good on you Alexandra for bringing a national spotlight on a city that has deserved it for so long and keep up the good work.

be saying goodbye to the other gawky nerds of Calgary and Edmonton,[emphasis added] I'll be out back having a smoke with Toronto and Monteal.

I "resemble" that remark :rolleyes:

Good post Keith. Chuckled while visiting the Montreal forum where someone questioned who had the best restaurants, Montreal or Toronto. I was going to reply suggesting Vancouver but having read some of the posts elected not to be a "troll".

We agree then. I meant no disrespect to Ms Gill - her column helps sell her newspaper, that's a good thing,

Cheers,

Anne
