The can wrapping was done by the city. They all had signs with the city’s logo at first, but many of these signs were no longer visible thanks to vandals.

Its nuts. I mean at least put on a show right? Pretend that you’re trying to resolve it. Instead the city’s pretending that these workers are not needed- i smell otherwise. but if i lived in a fancy condo, or in rosedale. . . .

I’ll call up gloydo get the militia back together again.

I’ve been working on a “little bit of terror” post. Too many people have got their heads in the sand- especially politicians.

Its not so bad, you can barely see the rats for all the flies.

Yup, that garbage strike is awful and i hope it gets resolved soon. Unfortunately the ‘pig-heads’ that are supposed to work out a deal seem to have no real desire to do so …. just force what happened before, mandatory arbitration legislated by the province.
This one whacko anti-poverty group did one smart thing here in vancouver when we had our garbage strike a couple years back….. they dumped trash at the steps of the mayor’s condo! Some called members of this group ‘terrorists’ due to some of their aggressive tactics….. maybe a little ‘terror’ directed at the right people is just what’s needed to stop this strike.
Having to wade through rat-infested garbage….. I’d do anything to avoid that!

I wonder if people will try and bill the city for the expense of calling private collections companies?

So far my solution is to fill the front yard, even the temp dump at Christie is already closed.

If we were all country sows we would live in a much less efficient world.

Most landlords don’t do anything. Its like the non-job job. The fat old lord and lady watching their peasants til the field.

Gotta agree with Russ here. Dump your shit where people will see it. Put the pressure on. Although i’m sure city officials are getting private pickups.
