Formally a City Hall account, but $40/hour of taxpayer money to pretend to be a tree was too sweet of a deal to pass on. BA (English), minor in Dendrology Haiku

Fine Print: Additionally, in a move so relatable to its residents, the City formerly known as Vancouver has agreed to move back in with its parents, cut up its CAC credit cards, and hand over the keys to its leased 2003 Laguna Seca Blue M3.
Breaking: Burnaby agrees to use some of its $4B in reserves to bail Vancouver out on the condition that Vancouver changes its name to "West Burnaby" #VanPoli#BCPoli
Stewart: "We couldn't be happier. $200m and we get to add West to our name to virtue signal our exclusivity. This is a win for our taxpayers." #GreenestCity#FeelintheBurn
