pOILievre has removal of the ban on supertankers on the BC Coast at the top of his list. It's been in effect for 55 years. I organized the 1st demonstration against supertankers in 1968. The BC NDP banned supertankers in 1972 supported by the feds & later Bill C-69. Stop PP!

Snapshot of our times? #10 is pretty interesting in the context of #1 and #2.
I read #10. It's really about critical thinking, except they call that "disagreeableness" in corporate personality-test-speak.
Weren't those who went along with Nazism the "nice" ones?

Good turn out today in support of keeping Vancouver Aquatic Centre at 50 meters. On signs: “You wouldn't train in half a (basketball) court. So why train in half a pool?” "Big cities need big pools" "Bigger is Better!" #vanpoli #VACpool50m

RENTAL>CONDO perverse given efforts by City/Province to support rental development.
These are large units 65% 2-3-bed suitable for families, valuable as longterm rental.
Staff report omitted important information that might have led Council to consider denying the application.

The draft Broadway Plan required a lot with a minimum 150 ft. frontage & under those rules 10 E11th Ave would not be eligible for a tower. Video clip shows staff first first arguing for 150 ft frontages, and later supporting SKY's 99ft frontage amendment youtu.be/AIQlNUc_Ft8

Crombie REIT’s proposal for Safeway at Commercial Drive: just 10% of 1,044 units to be at ave. city rent—not affordable! Staff say it fails City policies, but recommend approval.
At the REIT’s Davie St. Safeway, 1BRs go for $3,250.

A MASSIVE story. Tip of the iceberg. Lowball property assessments save big property owners zillions of dollars, resulting in bigger tax bills for everyone else. It's a systemic issue, and not fair. One wonderful success here for the People vs Holborn. #vanpoli #vanre
The City of Vancouver ordered the demolition of the dilapidated former Dunsmuir House in December. Now, after a public complaint, the province has nearly tripled the assessed value of the property - meaning a bigger tax bill for the owner.

If Carney is elected, he should just ban the sale of our healthcare services to US companies.
