 The Georgia Straight
(Sept 13-20, 2007 issue) by Carmanah,

But the Georgia Straight isn't just all concert listings, classifieds, and advertising. It proudly markets itself as one of the few completely independent newspapers in Canada. As a result, they tend to have a lot of unique articles pertaining to a wide variety of issues (politics, environmental issues, human rights, etc). The letters to the editor can also be rather amusing. I find that if you read the Georgia Straight cover to cover, you'll have a pretty good idea about what Vancouver's all about.
And for some Georgia Straight trivia, Bob Geldof used to be a writer for the Georgia Straight before he started the Boomtown Rats and Live Aid. The Georgia Straight has been a fixture in Vancouver since the late 60's. The name of the newspaper is a pun on the Strait of Georgia (the large body of water that separates Vancouver and the rest of the BC mainland from Vancouver Island). Leave a Comment
