We Were Always Here
Running with the Rebels
Desperately, the heavily armed guerrillas and I scaled a steep, verdant hill in northern Nicaragua. In withering afternoon heat, the very fatigued twenty-seven rebels, my colleague and I pressed on at a grueling pace, often slipping and stumbling on loose soil. For the last hour, the muffled boom of Nicaraguan military artillery told the fighters their enemies were close. Vastly outnumbered, the guerrillas had to keep moving.
The group’s mustachioed 29-year-old commander, Alfa, looked over his shoulder, his face tightened in fear and anger. “They are bombing where we just were. If we don’t hurry and get out of here, they’ll be on top of us.”

VANCOUVER An exemption has been introduced for dozens of B.C. businesses who were charged a speculation vacancy tax for the air space above their leased spaces. Finance Minister Selina Robinson discussed the new exemption Thursday, a couple of weeks after some businesses reported being dinged on empty space. Dan Rodriguez, the owner of Las Margaritas in Kitsilano, told CTV News Vancouver earlier this month that his bill went up by $6,000 this year because of the tax. Rodriguez does not own the land, but he pays taxes and maintenance fees as part of the lease agreement with his landlord.
