You think you've seen winter?
Alex Tsakumis, writing in this morning's 24 Hours newspaper has captured nicely the trashy little lowlights from Monday's NPA stabbing in the forum.
Read it here.
A friend, who lives in Dunbar, spoke eloquently the other day about how the party had managed in recent months to alienate their own best supporters by not listening to a word.
Which leaves us here in Vancouver with a Vision-dominated City Council, not a recipe for good government.
The council should be a healthy mix of different views and approaches. It is now a doctrinaire love fest.
May some party or other rise from the vacuum and the ashes in the coming months to present some variety for the voters 3 long years from now.
And some quality wouldn't hurt either.

My recent visit to Vancouver has left me with the opinion that the city is utterly inept. Side streets are a death trap and no effort has been made to rectify the situation! I had to drive in (with my 4 wheel drive) and rescue a relative for am important medical appointment on New Years Eve as Handy Dart refused to travel on side streets!
In Delta, even my small cul-de-sac saw a plow on Tuesday morning, but in Vancouver ..... na-da.
This is a disgrace on a city, on the politicians, and the bureaucracy. Vancouver is a dump and always will be a dump!
If a Vision-dominated City Council is 'not a recipe for good government haven't they had a good teacher in the Sullivan/NPA as a model with which to govern by? What a gong show of spite, acid and plain visciousness the NPA have visited on the citizens of Vancouver over the years. Can the new council do any worse?
