The bro of my dreams

A song for all you bro-prone lovers out there

By: Katie Walkley, Peak Associate

The Peak is proud to publish this beautiful love song that absolutely rivals the likes of Lana Del Rey, Paul Anka, and whoever sang “Take Me Home Country Roads.” Enjoy. 

We met on Hinge,

I wanted to take it slow.

But now I can’t end a sentence,

Without calling him bro.

When things get romantic,

I cannot hold back.

I get controlled by my antics,

Friendzone in full attack. 

I don’t mean bro as in brother,

I mean bro as in lover.

It’s a term for people

who appreciate each other.

It wasn’t my fault.

Before I called him bro, he called me man.

He opened up the bro-vault —

I think I need a new plan . . .

Honey? Dearest? Sweet huzz of my life?

No, that’s disgusting

This is bringing me too much strife!

I don’t mean bro as in brother,

I mean bro as in lover.

It’s a term for people

who appreciate each other.

Once I’ve called someone bro,

I just cannot stop.

It’s a level of deep shared intimacy,

Beyond that of tying the knot.

Maybe I’ll call him dude instead,

So it feels less incestuous.

But then our relationship,

Would be so disingenuous!!!

Bro, is bro all I know?

“Will you take this baddie to be your lawfully wedded bro?”

“I do, I do!” is all I can proclaim,

“I will only know you as bro and by no other name!”

I don’t mean bro as in brother

I mean bro as in lover

It’s a term for people

Who appreciate each other

Outro (phone call audio):
“But seriously Katie, can you stop calling me bro? I want to be more than your bro.”

“But there is nothing more than a bro!”

 

static ambience and fade to silence

Burnaby Mountain’s wildfire prevention system to undergo revamp

By: Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer On January 14, the City of Burnaby announced they will be investing in an “autonomous early wildfire detection system” for Burnaby Mountain to address growing wildfire risks amid warmer and drier summers. The Peak interviewed Scott Alleyn, chief staff officer of the Burnaby fire department, for more information.  Alleyn cited past wildfire activity along the Burnaby Mountain corridor as the reason to implement a modernized wildfire detection system. The existing wildfire management system is largely reliant on reports made by the public, which Alleyn said slows down emergency response times. This new technology is meant to expedite the detection of wildfires before they escalate by automatically detecting them. The program was initiated following the recommendations of Miles Ritchie, fire chief for...
