More light reading pulled out of a #Vancouver recycling blue bin: Text for slide presentation on benefits of a Tenant Protection Bylaw Authority. One resource it cites is the First United BC Evictions Map, which shows that "17.5% of displaced tenants report $500-$1000 rent increase per month."

Danish social workers are still pressuring Greenlandic women to get abortions, they did this before FKU was banned on Inuit, and they're continuing today. They're desperate to stop Inuit from existing in Danish society.

Did rare 7 am Sunday outing from my parkade sleeping spot to pick up box of single-use handwarmers from follower & deliver to Sun free breakfast in #Vancouver Fairview. Along way I saw many new #homeless peers; most I told about breakfast, incl 1 without shoes, who I *considered* giving my shoes to.

It’s time for Vancouver to stop subsidizing offshore billionaires who use our city’s services to keep their luxury yachts afloat. I will raise taxes on luxury yachts and use the funds to support food banks, doctors, and artists—things that actually matter to the people who live here!
