He's barricaded inside half a city

Well, technically there are two Vancouvers: Vancouver, B.C, and Vancouver, Washington. And quick research tells me that the southern Vancouver also has an East Vancouver, so the sentence above could be correct, but since it's posted in the B.C. news section of CBC News I have to believe that there is a word missing in the sentence - perhaps home between Vancouver and after. From "Man under siege after shots fired in Vancouver" on CBC News online on September 27, 2011.

CBC British Columbia homepagerrors

I have some more errors from the CBC British Columbia homepage to share with y'all. First, on September 15, 2011, the second of should not have been present. That text is also the first sentence in the article ("SPCA wants charge laid in Whistler sled dog slaughter" on CBC News online on September 15, 2011),

and, later in the article, where should be were. Both of those errors are still there today. Then,

on September 19, 2011, CBC can't figure out if it's BC Ferries or B.C. Ferries. It's the former, and the article's first sentence was also incorrect. Also in the article ("BC Ferries rescues guests from West Coast luxury resort" on CBC News online on September 19, 2011),

90 kilometres hours should read 90 kilometres per hour. Note the added word and the corrected-by-shortening hour. Later in the same article,

guest should most definitely be guests. Finally, returning to the CBC British Columbia homepage,

on September 20, 2011, there should have been a comma after B.C. and the second where should have been were (sound familiar?). This is also the first sentence in the article, and both errors are still there today. Click an image to enlarge it.

A moth and a camel

I don't think the ruling would use the word month here; I think the correct word moth would be there instead. From "Water polo player suspended for role in Vancouver riot" on CBC Sports online on September 27, 2011. Then,

two sentences later, SkyTrain should get the camel-case treatment.

Wrong and wrong

The first misspelling of Tsawwassen features a transposed W and A. In the subsequent paragraph, Tsawwassen is short a W twice. Also, why spokesman and not spokesperson? From "West Coast storm shuts down BC Ferries routes" on CBC News online on September 26, 2011.

Weak writing

This article ("Medical records with lots of personal info found on Calgary street" on Yahoo! Canada News on September 23, 2011) is by The Canadian Press and features just six sentences/paragraphs. That is apparently one too many sentences to proofread, because in the final sentence week should be weeks.

Two B or not two B? Two B.

Abbotsford is spelled correctly in the headline (of "Twin robberies probed in Abbotsford" on CBC News online on September 25, 2011), but not in the article's first sentence.

One more recent change required

Do you see the word revemps? Yeahhh, here's the thing: revemps is not actually a word. It should be revamps. From "Hate the New Facebook? Here's How to Change It" on MSN Canada Tech & Gadgets on September 23, 2011. Click the image to enlarge it.

Who's the ass?

Of all the things in the article that could have been selected to highlight, a quote that includes an amusing misspelling (resulting in a nonword) is chosen: assinine should be asinine. From "Lions Bay beach ban divides residents" on CBC News online on September 19, 2011. Click the image to enlarge it.

Not a cute error

This misspelling of prosecutor is from the final sentence of "Irish man arrested at Sao Paulo airport with cocaine in his gut" on Yahoo! Canada News on September 17, 2011.

More misspellings? No.

By no I mean now, much like the writer of this paragraph (from "A $1 luxury home in Oakville, Ont. doesn’t sell" on Yahoo! Canada News on September 13, 2011). Then,

in the article's next paragraph, a real estate agent gets introduced as Vasia Argirls. However,

for the rest of the article the agent's last name is written as Argiris.

Once, oops. Twice, not oops.

In the opening sentence of this article ("Kamloops man detained in father's death" on CBC News online on September 12, 2011), a hyphen is missing from 18-year-old. Two sentences later,

the hyphen is still missing. Then, in the article's penultimate sentence,

release should be released. But, hey, at least 18-year-old is finally correct. Click an image to enlarge it.

No sign of a proofreader

Where is the word was that belongs between there and no? I don't know. From "Delay in Amber Alert for B.C. boy questioned" on CBC News online on September 8, 2011. Later in the article,

due is supposed to be do.

Why?

In this photo caption (from "Protests grow against Gordon Campbell award" on CBC News online on September 5, 2011), why would the writer misspell Bill Tieleman's last name? And why would they leave out the word are from between there and a? In the article itself, Tieleman's last name was misspelled all four times it was written. Now, in an apparent fix, it alternates: it's introduced correctly, then is wrong, is correct, and ends wrong. Why? Why only fix two of the four and why leave the photo caption alone entirely? Also,

why has the weirdness surrounding the date and time of posted articles not been fixed? Click an image to enlarge it.

"Forrrrrrrrre!"feited

What does forefeited mean? Does it mean the car-less drivers will now have to do all their driving on a golf course? From "Alleged street-racing cars may be confiscated" on CBC News online September 8, 2011.
