This morning I was pleased to see large flats of water being unloaded off of a truck on East Cordova obviously meant to be handed out to those down here that are less fortunate and don’t have access to clean water. Of course, that hasn’t stopped some from suggesting that…
“While many people in Greater Vancouver consider the boil-water advisory to be a hassle, some residents of the Downtown Eastside are welcoming it.�
Imagine that. The balls on the disenfranchised hey? I’ve seen a grown woman throw a temper tantrum because America’s Next Top Model was preempted, and yet when people who are used to drinking out of filthy public taps are amazed that they’re being given free clean water they’re still humiliated for it.
Not to worry. The closer the Olympics get, the cleaner the streets around here will become. And complete jackasses such as myself will sit in our fancy fucking lofts and say things like “that’s bullshit!� before pouring glasses of pinot noir and reading the latest issue of Dwell.
Welcome to Vancouver.
