PHOTO: During my vacation to Vancouver in summer 2006, the nicest surprise was the water taxi. It's cute, it's convenient, and it offers up the best views you can possibly imagine.
That's right, I'm going west, and I'm staying there, at least until after the Olympics in 2010.
My last day at The Mississauga News is on Feb. 21, so if you want to send me gifts or money, you don't have much time. I leave Ontario on Feb. 25. I will then, once landing in Vancouver with a couple of duffel bags, have six days to buy a new car and a bed.
I report to duty at The Surrey Leader and The Peace Arch News on March 3, to begin another leg of this journey through life.
This move marks the end of nearly three years at The Mississauga News and five years with Metroland (two of those with my hometown paper, The Oakville Beaver), the company that owns The News and pretty much every other community newspaper in Southern Ontario.
Most of all, I'll miss Wajid Khan.

EEK... you're leaving?!
til at least 2010?! You'll miss the 2010 Mississauga election when no politician yet again will summon the guts to go up against McCallion (for how many elections is that now?)
til at least 2010...
Mr. MacBride, once you go west and NOT be in "the best city in Canada" (*snork*) I know you won't come back.
B.C... GOOGLED your two papers and "Blackpress".
It says:
My dearest wish for you is that this Blackpress "About Us" last paragraph is true --that you haven't been mississauga'ed...
Even so. You've had been mississauga'ed in beautiful Rocky Mountainy and way-warmer BC.
WOW. BC...
Take care, aloha, justice, peace.
Signed,
Ursula Bennett
