Anyone who cares about Vancouver, whether you share Sean’s politics or not, should read through his multiple threads of citizens’ statements; folks range widely in age and income bracket but not in sentiment. ABC passing this budget will alienate the entire city.

very impressed by COPE Councillor Orr for reporting summaries of every speaker for this budget, and actually staying until the end unlike most ABC councillors my crude count is there were less than 10 in favour, roughly 260 opposed, with around 330 more speakers to go.
