Snowcouver's Mayor

With seemingly so few Vancouver City workers outside clearing snow or picking up garbage, one has to wonder precisely what Mayor Transparency has them doing?

Was I Right or Was I Wrong?

My original posting stated that I was wrong: "The horrendous garbage didn't appear. Read more here."

But I just learned on the CTV Evening News that this newspaper report was pure fiction! English Bay was a DUMP last night, with thousands of people just leaving their garbage on the beach and others overflowing garbage cans, rather than taking it home. This black mark on the true nature of Vancouverites was covered up only thanks to the overnight work of Vancouver City managers, the morning work of Houston Landscapes, and the later work of other volunteers.

Let's face facts: Most Vancouverites are ignorant little slobs and last night's garbage proves it! So incredibly sad.

Prediction, Fear, or Warning?

I don't know which, but I have this troubling idea that Vancouver's beaches are going to be a complete mess tomorrow with countless people leaving their garbage littered all over.

How could this happen you ask, in environmentally conscious Vancouver? Well tomorrow morning will show whether Vancouverites walk their talk or are the rampant hypocrites that I've long suspected. I really am hoping for the former but [sadly] suspect the latter. :-(

Brickell Key has a series of large rocks placed all around its exposed ocean side. They will add much longevity to the seawall but have the unintended consequence of acting as a garbage receptacle for everything that washes up on them.
