Tea & Two Slices: Poor People Everywhere And TV Philistines…

by Sean Orr | B.C. premier Gordon Campbell’s Bilderberg conference invitation, expenses released. You know what? I don’t care how much it cost. He put us on the baby-eating, goat-worshipping, Illuminati map, and that’s something money just can’t buy.

More proof that Vancouver is filled with Philistines: Vancouver residents prefer TV to movies or live performances. Doesn’t sound like Greatest City in the World to me.

Also, I don’t know if you knew this, but poor people are fucking everywhere, and not just in the DTES. The city really ought to rethink their policy of them with rich people. Otherwise things just get awkward.

Weird, even the government is mad that they don’t build enough rental units. So much so they made a new website. That is…instead of new rental units.
