Sim has shown throughou his term--especially in Council meetings, that he is lazy and unprepared most days. Almost every meeting when bylaws are voted on: "did not read, will not be voting".
He likes to "wing it" because it means less work, and he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. #vanpoli

that’s just it. imagine if we were to reduce the VPD’s budget by 10% a year.

police want more because increasing “social disorder, mental health issues, addiction” which are the consequences of not only cuts to social infrastructure but also of economic inequality

I want a functioning society

220: my son learning about democracy (son says hi). I know budgets but I don’t understand this one. As a youth worker, I worked with police, I heard outreach and programs at community centres is what diverted kids from crime. Just arresting children doesn’t work.

180: Scott Jensen, park board. In opposition. Residents don’t know the true cost of this budget. Without line by line nobody can make informed judgment. These decisions won’t come without consequences. We know this will hurt parks. Shifting burden on to families and calling it savings.
