THINK LIKE US...OR ELSE!
The provincial government wants to come into your home and property to tear down any sign it may not like.
All in the name of the Olympics.
If you are not already offended by this, you should be.
Introduced this week, the proposed legislation would temporarily allow officials in Vancouver, Whistler and Richmond to enter a property with 24 hours notice to take down an improper sign or graffiti, a change from the current process, which officials say can take weeks.
The new powers to quickly remove signs would be in effect only during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, officials said.
Suppose I put up a sign in front of my house or in my apartment window that said, "Let's face it, the Premier is an old poop."
Suddenly, the jack boots are breaking down my front door?
What gulag have we become all in the name of snowboarding?
City Councillor Geoff Meggs thinks all of this is benign.
“We don’t believe any of [the changes] will impact the right to freedom of expression or political expression at all,” he said.
“They will help us to uphold our obligation to stop ambush marketing and inappropriate commercial expression.”
How quickly they forget.
What if you put out a sign that says, "I don't like the Games."
Will that bring on the storm troopers? Will they be armed with tasers or staplers?
That is the question.

Hey the premier, gordo the not so magnificent got a free pass on his DUI with his cheering section pulling out all the stops to keep him in the patronage business. So why would anyone be surprised about this present situation. Campbell set the example and the minions just follow and pork out at the trough. The sun will come up tomorrow and we will be treated to the spectacle of another story for Good, Palmer and Baldry to treat as nothing to report here. HAHAHAHAHA!
Herr Gordo, the Liberal leader doesn't want any Olympic naysayers, so he will empower BC's Gestapo to break down doors, Taser people so offending sign will be removed.
The ghost of George Orwell is laughing so hard that I can hear him.
So what is Herr Gordo going to do, liquidate dissenters in the best place in world?
Evil Eye
If Bill 13 passes I think everybody in Vancouver needs to put a sign in their window.
'I AM AGAINST BILL 13.'
I do not believe in violent protests and I am afraid that all this nonsense is adding fuel to the fire and we will anarchist protesters take advantage of this obvious clamping down on free speech.
The government needs to think about this carefully. Can they think? That is the question
David,if the "boys" at vanoc had any balls they would have acted like men. No women jumping then no olympdicks.
The only people as disgusting as the IOC are the toadies in Vancouver BC that would eat doggie doo if told too by the IOC

Maybe the IOC et al has learned alot from the recent Chinese Olympics? Maybe they are now implementing their 'Lessons Learned' and 'Best Practices and Policies' for preparing a host city and its population.
