New #YVR mayor seeks to solve city problems investing in police, which NEVER solves social or 💰 issues
Vancouver must instead compassionately invest in people, housing, #BasicIncome & #MentalHealth
Existing over-investment in Vancouver policing merely criminalizes more citizens ...leaving no positive effects on social ills nor crime levels.

"The Downtown Eastside (DTES) is one of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods, and the historic heart of the city.
The DTES has many assets, especially for its low-income residents... the Downtown Eastside has struggled with many complex challenges including drug use, crime, homelessness, housing issues, unemployment, and loss of businesses in the community." (City of Vancouver)
"Around the beginning of the 20th century, the DTES was the political, cultural and retail centre of Vancouver. Over several decades, the city centre gradually shifted westwards and the DTES became a poor,[1] although relatively stable, neighbourhood. In the 1980s, the area began a rapid decline due to several factors including an influx of hard drugs, policies that pushed sex work and drug-related activity out of nearby areas, and the cessation of federal funding for social housing. By 1997, an epidemic of HIV infection and drug overdoses in the DTES led to the declaration of a public health emergency. As of 2018, critical issues include opioid overdoses, especially those involving the drug fentanyl; decrepit and squalid housing; a shortage of low-cost rental housing; and mental illness, which often co-occurs with addiction."

Founded in 1978, the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre is one of the few safe spaces within the Downtown Eastside exclusively for self-identified women and their children. High levels of violence, homelessness, addictions and poverty characterize the Downtown Eastside community. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to exploitation, injustice and injury." dewc.ca/about

The same intersection also crosses #SocialJustice boundaries, often expressing displeasure with police & #PoliceBrutality ...likely due to the areas proximity with oppressed, disproportionately policed, poor housed & unhoused communities.
NOT vandalism; it's a cry for help from people oppressed by police that engage in an over-funded #DrugWar criminalizing & stigmatizing the poor & victims of an underfunded #MentalHealth system.
Don't call police, call #bcpoli & #cdnpoli
DEMAND #BasicIncome & #DefundthePolice
Poverty kills; and poverty inflicted kills with intent.
Victoria, BC and the British Columbia Government are killing the homeless with camping restriction bylaws; COVID; and COVID Isolation Housing that violates social distancing, the BC Rental Tenancy Act and basic human rights.

Click here for an excellent article on basic income, whether you are curious about it or think it sounds like a fucking stupid idea. :D
Here is how Goodreads.com describes Standing's book "The precariat" (which I read in 2014):
"Neo-liberal policies and institutional changes have produced a huge and growing number of people with sufficiently common experiences to be called an emerging class. In this book Guy Standing introduces what he calls the Precariat - a growing number of people across the world living and working precariously, usually in a series of short-term jobs, without recourse to stable occupational identities, stable social protection or protective regulations relevant to them. They include migrant workers, but also locals.
"Standing argues that this class of people could produce new instabilities in society. They are increasingly frustrated and dangerous because they have no voice, and hence they are vulnerable to the siren calls of extreme political parties. He outlines a new kind of good society, with more people actively involved in civil society and the precariat re-engaged. He goes on to consider one way to a new better society -- an unconditional basic wage for everyone, contributed by the state, which could be topped up through employment.
"This is a topical, and a radical book, which will appeal to a broad market concerned by the increasing problems of job insecurity and civic disengagement."
PS. I found my uglyhat in a dollar store in Amsterdam. I felt more like me when I walked out with it on. :p

Genf, 14. Mai 2016 - «Grösste Frage der Welt» auf dem »geössten Plakat der Welt».
Foto: Generation Grundeinkommen
«GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™, die berühmte und weltweit anerkannte Institution zur Überprüfung und Beglaubigung von Weltrekorden, gibt bekannt, dass die «Generation Grundeinkommen» am 14. Mai 2016 einen neuen Weltrekord für das größte Plakat der Welt aufgestellt hat.
Das Event rund um den erfolgreichen Weltrekordversuch fand auf dem Platz Plaine de Plainpalais in Genf statt. Hintergrund des Events ist die am 5. Juni 2016 in der Schweiz stattfindende Abstimmung über die Einführung eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens. Weiterhin erklärt Hanes Sturzenegger von der Generation
Grundeinkommen: „Zum ersten Mal stimmt man auf der Welt über ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen ab. Das bringt Fragen mit sich. Die essentielle Frage dieser Initiative ist: Was würdest du arbeiten, wenn für dein Einkommen gesorgt wäre? Über diese Frage möchten wir diskutieren, indem wir sie auf dem größten Plakat stellen und niemand drum rum kommt.“
Am heutigen Tag war es endlich soweit, auf dem größten Plakat der Welt wurde die
zentrale und wichtigste Frage gestellt:
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR INCOME WERE TAKEN CARE OF?
WAS WÜRDEST DU ARBEITEN, WENN FÜR DEIN EINKOMMEN GESORGT WÄRE?
Mehr als 1200 Menschen haben per Crowdfunding rund 200.000 Euro zusammengetragen, um diesen Weltrekordversuch möglich zu machen. Das Plakat wurde aus LKW-Planen ausgeschnitten, die dann miteinander verschweißt wurden, um das größte Plakat der Welt zu bilden. Die offizielle Rekordrichterin von Guinness World Records, Lena Kuhlmann, war bei dem Event in Genf dabei und kann bestätigen, dass alle Richtlinien eingehalten wurden. Das Plakat hat ingesamt eine Größe von 8.115,53 m2 und ist damit ein neuer, offizieller Guinness World Records Weltrekord.
Nach dem erfolgreichen Rekordversuch werden aus dem Plakat Fragetaschen, Weltrekordrucksäcke, Kulturbeutel und viele weitere Produkte gefertigt, die später im Online-Shop gekauft werden können.
Den vorherigen Guinness World Records Rekord für das größte Plakat der Welt, das es zu brechen galt, lag bei 7.164,78 m2 und wurde am 26. Februar 2016 im Irak von Fareed Lafta aufgestellt.»
