This is the play about my friend's father, that hit me so hard on Friday night, seeing people I know/knew well — who played a big role in my own childhood! — portrayed on stage, and mention of so much that is intertwined with my own past.

Ok folks we are back at it again from 1-5. Yesterday was a lot. Heard from so many passionate Vancouverites.
Unfortunately I heard the mayor say it was a waste of time. But I assure you, I’m listening.

Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.
