CalvinAyre.com has obtained what an anonymous source claims are excerpts from the personal diaries of former Vancouver Sun business writer David Baines. CalvinAyre.com has not been able to verify this claim, but considers the text a sufficiently accurate representation of Baines’ historic obsession with Calvin Ayre to warrant its publishing.

Dear diary:

It’s another day in retirement paradise, or so everyone in my circle keeps telling me. In reality, I feel the walls of my once comfortable prison moving ever slightly inward, and the pace of their progress increased dramatically this summer.

When I retired four years ago, Calvin Ayre’s grinning mug was listed on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ‘Most Wanted’ list. I contented myself that my tireless efforts to disparage him and his Bodog online gambling operation through my newspaper columns had contributed to his being indicted in 2012.
