Just Announced: bbno$ brings Baby’s Bonanza 2 to the PNE Forum

1 week ago | straight.com | Nathan Caddell

Music by Nathan Caddell on May 29th, 2025 at 1:06 PM For the second year in a row, bbno$ will put on Baby’s Bonanza, a concert at the PNE Forum featuring the uber popular Vancouver hip-hop artist and a collection of friends. This year’s version includes Priyanka, Ikky, Yung Kai, and Jungle Bobby. Like last year’s effort, and because bbno$ is a patron saint, all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre.

Get the best of Vancouver in your inbox, every Tuesday and Thursday. Sign up for our free newsletter. On the surface, it looks a bit like a massive own goal. Last week, when Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new cabinet was sworn in at Rideau Hall, newly minted MP Gregor Robertson was in tow. But he wasn’t there to be appointed minister of transport, or green energy, or juice manufacturing.

In the end, the Vancouver Canucks went the safe route with their head coach decision.
Measuring how much former Vancouver Canucks players’ success in the playoffs should piss you off

4 weeks ago | straight.com | Nathan Caddell

It’s tough watching the NHL playoffs when your team isn’t in them. It’s tougher still when the expectation is that your team will very much be in the hunt. And then a bunch of seemingly insane events happen that result in them watching from the sidelines. Such, of course, is the fate of the Vancouver Canucks. Still though, the playoffs have been appointment viewing even for downtrodden Canucks fans. But who are you cheering for? A Canadian team like the Jets makes sense, unless you’re a lunatic.
Bartees Strange finds the Horror in everyday life

The term “genre-blending” (and its various offshoots, like -bending or -blurring) is thrown around a lot. Typically, it’s given to an artist who displays any semblance of two different genres. Look up “genre-blending artists” on Google and you get an array of answers from Taylor Swift to Prince. And there’s some truth to those, for sure. For our money though, we’re willing to bet that you won’t listen to an album this year that has more genre twists and turns than Horror by Bartees Strange.
How Vancouver's indie recording studios are staying busy in the digital age

As Commercial Drive winds its way south and morphs into Commercial Street, it slowly becomes one of the more interesting sections of Vancouver. The first block gives you buzzy cafes, restaurants, and bakeries with apartments on top of them. It continues up further to include a couple of art galleries, townhouses, and even a leather supplier. Nestled in the middle of the street is the last remaining single-family house on the block.
Predicting the next head coach of the Vancouver Canucks

1 month ago | straight.com | Nathan Caddell

Each new situation seems unprecedented in this most recent Canucks’ season, and yet the strange things keep happening. The J.T. Miller situation, for example, where an alternate captain was given leave away from a team for an extended period of time. Or a star in Elias Pettersson suddenly being closer to replacement level than a top-six forward. Or, now, coach Rick Tocchet turning down what was reportedly an offer to pay him like one of the best coaches in the league.
After the by-election, will the City of Vancouver's housing policy change?

1 month ago | straight.com | Nathan Caddell

At a press conference shortly after the Vancouver council by-election that saw COPE candidate Sean Orr and OneCity’s Lucy Maloney elected in a landslide, Mayor Ken Sim was contemplative. “We’re going to take a really hard look at ourselves,” said Sim. Makes sense. Some two and a half years after easily electing every single one of the candidates it ran across city council, the parks board and the school board, Sim’s ABC Vancouver party was defeated soundly in the two-seat April by-election.
Will any Vancouver MPs get posts in Mark Carney’s cabinet?

1 month ago | straight.com | Nathan Caddell

Mark Carney’s Liberal Party emerged victorious after a sweaty election night on Monday, gaining key seats from the NDP and Bloc Quebecois en route to reaching a 168-seat minority government. The Liberals will likely need some sort of agreement in place with the NDP, who won seven seats, two of which were in Vancouver as incumbents Don Davies and Jenny Kwan held onto their East Van ridings.
Don Davies' win in Vancouver Kingsway shows the power of incumbency

Out on the campaign trail on an evening in early April, Adrian Dix put it best. “It’s going to be an interesting case of how much an individual MP matters in an election,” the provincial Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions told the Straight. “They’ve got the best one in Canada right here.”He was talking about Don Davies, the incumbent MP for Vancouver Kingsway. And yes, Dix is biased. He’s the BC NDP MLA for Vancouver-Renfew, which shares a good portion of its territory with Davies’ riding.
