Consequences

Wrote to the premier this morning. Got this reply. Fastest turnaround from a premier.

She might not be effective in long run, but it sure is good politics.

The Gastown riot was a much smaller event which happened in 1971. I can still find a photo of a kid from my school on the internet. It appeared on the front page of the Vancouver Sun after the event.

And Christy will impress me when she actually looks into the BC Rail issue. I would like to see some consequences there too.
Hooligans and Consequences

Interesting that an elite athlete who attends a private school is one of the hooligans.

Got bounced of the national water polo team to boot.

Another hooligan showed up for work on Friday and was told he was fired.

Logical consequences?
Province acts

I won't take credit, but the province is stepping up to the plate in providing resources for the VPD and city.
