Another for the Anti-Poverty Committee
Here’s another Rant! directed at the Anti-Poverty Committee. Perhaps they would like to submit their side of the story?
To the anti poverty committee, If your group associates themselves with people who are against freedom of the press, I and many other hard working people will never support you.
You have successfully cut all of your ties to the tax paying and law abiding public.
Until now I understood you when you would peacefully occupied buildings and held sit, but the violent protest that you were part of on March 15, 2007 was disgusting and you owe the tax paying public an apology.
The civil rights movement, apartheid, Indian independence, were all done peacefully. You people can learn lessons from them.
British Columbia currently has record low employment. I suggest that mentoring, or guiding, people afflicted with poverty in the direction of job training and government supported programs to get them jobs.
For the folks with drug and alcohol problems, well even the rich do loads of drugs and alcohol. Yet they get up in the morning and GO TO WORK!
As for the homeless, well when I moved here from Alberta, I was homeless in 94. Now I own my home.
How did I do it, I made resumes and put a fake address down.
The government of Canada has a website, and if you click on jobs people can build there resumes there. I suggest that you bring in people off of the streets and show them how to do it.
Aghhh I can’t believe you people would assault a journalistic camera. What ever happened to freedom of the press? You guys are very disappointing. Clearly you have no serious mandate or respect the people of this city or the city itself. Fuck the police, Fuck you!
