-- "More cash for two wheels" in 24 Hours Vancouver, Wednesday September 17 2008

The misspelling is in the photo's caption. As can be seen in the article, the correct name of the Transportation Minister is Kevin Falcon. The use of pedal in the caption has me puzzled. If the writer had used quotation marks around the word, or written peddle, then I'd tip my hat to the writer. But as it stands, it looks they just made a spelling error. One last thing: when naming people in a photo, it is customary to use left and right or similar cues to help the reader identify the people. With Campbell named first in the caption, it makes me think that he is the person on the left. He is actually on the right.
