It's been published before that Canada's promise of being the dream land has been called a lie by newcomers. Bringing in unsustainable numbers of people just to attract their $ is like drugs, feel good for a short period & eventually kills. #ProThinkItThrough
1 in 48 people now in Canada are international students.
800,000.
Per capita, the number of foreign students is 4x greater than in the US.
"Canada’s plan may backfire, as more students feel exploited, esp. over housing conditions," says @StephenPunwasi.

Interesting that whoever had the idea to use permanent barriers created problems for when we have snow. Maybe this is why I don't see this much in cities with snow. A big speed bump like in Strathcona would slow cars down but still let plows through. 🤔 #ProThinkItThrough
Remember the new yellow concrete "slow street" barriers #Vancouver is putting up in place of all the orange plastic barricades?
@CityofVancouver didn't/couldn't plow the curbside spaces left for bikes? So During #snow they could render "slow streets" into "no streets" for bikes?
When our national security people have concerns that specific candidates or elected officials have been compromised, their actions are definitely not a barrier to democracy. It's insane to give elected people top security clearance without vetting them first 🤔#ProThinkItThrough
Hmmm this sounds familiar. Road tolling in our city centre. But what becomes essential travel? Isn't commuting to work essential travel for a north shore resident who works in Richmond? #ProThinkItThrough https://t.co/Ik0DMYeNNa
I guess this is where ABC is going to find the money for police. Pests are already bad with once a week, pick up, good luck with once every 2 weeks. Vancouver is going to smell like a garbage bin. #ProThinkItThrough https://t.co/0kAw3aWwu9
@VanPoliMorphus @rwittstock Many don't consider out of catchment kids enrolled in schools. Also the challenge for families with a mix of school aged & non school aged kids with more than 2. What about kids enrolled in split schools. How about disabled parents?? #ProThinkItThrough
$4.6 billion in overpayments and $27.4 billion that should be investigated further. 😱 Thank you to all the citizens & residents who did not abuse the system and kept this amount from being even more staggering. #ProThinkItThrough https://t.co/OUO5egVeih
@CityofVancouver why another repeat this year of the bike path being cleared but not the pedestrian path. Is there a war against pedestrians? The park board green team is gone. Can we finally do effective city service instead of virtuous aspirations? #ProThinkItThrough
Had a most refreshing walk along the Arbutus Greenway. The bike lane is cleared of snow/ice and perhaps a foot or two of the walking side. Why??? Only a few walkers and fewer cyclers BUT I walked part way with an elderly gentleman who was very upset at being called an idiot by..
Fireworks all night. Did virtuous councillors really think that a ban would work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍿No wonder Vancouver has fallen apart, because governance thinks everyone respects their wishful thinking. #ProThinkItThrough
Creating an exclusionary zone around the key hospitals with this toll zone doesn't sound very inclusive not progressive. #ProThinkItThrough #VanElxn2022 https://t.co/glsVNeNhQC
When extreme ideology loses sight of real world challenges & fails to see the myopia. Why can't experience be balanced with ideology?? #ProThinkItThrough
Voter: You need to ban 18 wheeler trucks from the city or I won’t vote for you.
Me: How do we get food into the city to feed millions of people?
Voter: They use bikes in some parts of the world. That’s not my problem.
Me: I feel like it might be?
Disappointed to see an endorsed slate of candidates that only advocate for Indigenous issues but a history of being silent about attacks on Asians or problems in Chinatown, while claiming they stand for equity for all. Asians at the back of the bus again. 🤦#ProThinkItThrough
History repeats. Just like my article a few years ago about the political pendulum swinging, this is peak human myopia when we don't learn from the past but repeat it as if it is the first time we have tried it. #ProThinkItThrough
On top of the negative psychological impacts of small space living, there are challenges for those with disabilities and for those who age and develop disabilities. Our city cannot be designed & built with the single, young able bodied in mind only #ProThinkItThrough
I’m ok but I just spent an hour trapped in my bathroom. There is a tiny space between wall and sink so I can sit sideways and wash my hands. Somehow armrest on this power chair accidentally fell back but wouldn’t fit back up. I literally hate people defending small apts.
I always said when it comes to battery replacement time for EV's, the real pain of owning one will manifest itself. People said don't worry the cost will come down. Well, I'm still waiting for it to make financial sense. #ProThinkItThrough https://t.co/ufhsQRfkGd
Many organizations ban the election of executive/board members who are family members as it's a conflict of interest. So why would the mayor think having his wife run for council with his party, is totally fine??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍿 #ConflictOfInterest #ProThinkItThrough
Interesting election news: Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart's wife, Jeanette Ashe, is seeking a council seat with Forward Together.
So is Tessica Truong, who ran against BC Liberal Michael Lee in 2020.

Despite the concern for climate change, humans will still opt for what is convenient and fun. All policy should be made to create convenience, speed, low cost & reliability for humans to adopt change worldwide. #ProThinkItThrough
Generally heads of companies asked to run for mayor refuse to because it's a huge step down in pay. Makes me wonder why one candidate who claims to be a great business person has been trying for 5 years to get a step down in pay job as head of Vancouver? #ProThinkItThrough
Who has the real action plan to create a prosperous future for all of Vancouverites. #ProThinkItThrough
You know what I want to see from this civic election? Tell my WHY I should vote for you. What are you going to do? Stop telling me everything bad about your opponents, tell me why I should vote for YOU. @Vote4ABC @VanGreens @NPAVancouver @vote4team @OneCityVan #vanpoli
A bit silly for KS team to endorse a tax on empty stores. Landlords can't fill a commercial property if businesses are dying here. Parking tolls, businesses being broken into regularly, one time use container levies, etc are so anti-small business, lol 🤦#ProThinkItThrough
