We've heard a couple of speakers in support of the budget this afternoon, a change from yesterday when most people were opposed. I believe it took until speaker 225, Paul Beesla, to get to a supporter of the budget yesterday. (Speaker 111 pretended to be in support but satire doesn't count)

Nan Gregory, an older Point Grey resident, voiced what she wants her city to be. She’s opposed to the proposed property tax freeze, as all speakers so far have been.

Vancouver’s climate leadership exists because people across the political spectrum fought for it, putting planet before partisanship. Let’s do that again. 🌿
