From the Duh! File
source | cbc.ca Homelessness on the rise in Metro Vancouver, says report
Now maybe it’s because I live on the lip of the downtown Eastside or maybe its because Im one of the poor masses with unbleached teeth but this doesnt surprise me at all. Vancouver has been in denial about this for awhile. A couple of years back I worked downtown and was a good observer of Vancouverite’s behaviour towards the poor and destitute. Now I like to be left alone when Im out and about and on my way to something but if anyone talks to me I try to talk to them like a person. This seems to be the exception rather than the rule though. I’ll be honest we need to lose our tude before the Olympics or we’ll reveal our little yogawear covered secret: Vancouverites have a tendency to be myopic self important assholes who rarely rise above holistic mediocrity except when it comes to the moral pulpit. Food for thought next time you look down on someone for not being up to snuff. Oh yeah and if you keep pushing it will take your plasma TV and BluRay DVD player.
