Homer reads the news: Homeless population unchanged. Woohoo! “However, the homeless included more families, youth and women”. D’oh.

TV on the Radio: CKNW Tweets: “Is there a #gang connection to the new show Real Housewives of #Vancouver? That’s the question brig raised online. Noon on @CKNW”. Haha. It’s Vancouver. There’s a gang connection to pretty much everything.
Telus internet accounts vulnerable, hacker says. Here’s an idea, hire those hackers to make your internet work better.
This won’t hurt: Job cuts will be ‘like nothing’: Baird. Like, just chill. You totally won’t even be able to tell at all. Like, hardly.

wait a minute…. aren’t you that guy that dove off the Vogue Theatre stage last night!?
uh… possibly.
I know that you strive to take things out of context to support your own world view, but how about some accurate reporting for a change.
The number of street homeless (rough sleepers) is down by 82 percent across the Metro area. In the city proper there were some 160 ish sleeping on the streets, yes 160 too many, but an improvement none -the-less. .
The Province and the City should be applauded for gaining some ground in the absence of a national inititive on homelessness. There are some 1400 social housing spaces to come on to the market in the next 2 years.
Granted more needs to be done but to sheepishly smirk at the efforts of the province is immature at best and completely lacking in objectivity.
Good effort Rich Coleman and Gregor Robertson.
I don’t see how you can justify an increase in women and child poverty rates. Sure, the Province bought a bunch of hotels to stem the growing tide of street homelessness in the downtown core, but the cuts made to the safety net by the provincial government are more wide ranging than the DTES itself. Child poverty is still highest here than anywhere else in Canada, and for that, I will never salute Coleman.
