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!
ReplyDeleteIn 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?
