Happy to lurk around, share an opinion or two, and find cool people who share my leftist, anti-colonial views.

Been covering DULF's constitutional challenge for @thetyee.ca this week. Crown prosecutors have tried to poke lots of small holes in what founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were doing. Nyx and Kalicum have largely defended themselves saying they were doing the best they knew how at the time.

These politicians are treating this like it's just one more bad budget rather than a crucial step in a radical agenda to militarize Canada and force it onto an austerity trajectory for decades.

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.

very impressed by COPE Councillor Orr for reporting summaries of every speaker for this budget, and actually staying until the end unlike most ABC councillors
my crude count is there were less than 10 in favour, roughly 260 opposed, with around 330 more speakers to go.

269: in favour. Tune out noise if fear mongers who say sky is falling. This is not drastic cuts to budget. Wants full budget transparency. Heard about services but don’t know what a necessary sevice is. Scope creep.
