Sam's New Program


The Mayor has just announced a startling and exciting new initiative.


In his continuing bid for a "civil city" that will play well before the millions of Olympic visitors, Sam has revealed his new HRP - Homey Run Program.


How it works is this. The homeless will be trained to operate rickshaws. That way they will stay healthy and earn minimum wages and be able to afford rent on apartments. The rickshaws will be imported from India and Thailand. Councillor Peter Ladner is considering adding an RL - Rickshaw Lane to the Burrard Street and Granville Bridges.

Ha, Ha, this gives the term "Vice Peddler" a whole other meaning! At least the pushers ... errr "pullers" will be knowledgeable tour guides! :-)

Wasn't that a Seinfeld episode?

What's next...subsidies for businesses that sell muffin tops and Mansieres?
