By a more than 4-to-1 margin, residents of Vancouver preferred a tax rate that maintained public services to ABC's reckless 0% tax gimmick.

Ken Sim has no mandate to make these brutal cuts.
ABC has no mandate to impose austerity.
The City's own Budget survey showed people overwhelmingly prefer tax rates that maintain public services.

NEW: City Budget survey results are out. By a more than two-to-one margin over any other scenario, Vancouver residents wanted a tax rate that maintained public services.
Zero means zero consideration of public feedback.
ABC's cuts are as anti-democratic as they are harmful.

Disappointing but not surprising.
A party backed by billionaires and the super-rich needs as few young people as possible voting in order to stay in office.
