Morning Brew: August 24th

Vancouver No. 1, Toronto No. 5 on most livable cities list. Oh god, not this shit again. Have they even been here? Its the second least affordable place to live in North America thanks to your ratings, now, the working poor are taking refuge in housing meant for transients. Then you have developers ripping up hotels and converting them into condos or hotels or whatever. Dominion Hotel being one of them. But on the bright side, we beat Toronto again.

"Either they are not competent, or they are not trying" says NDP critic of Vanoc's cost overruns. Always blame incompetency.

I gotta say, I saw those pictures of the provocateurs with the same boots as the other cops, but this video caught them red handed as a Union leader stops and confronts the cops in bandannas.

Credit Check: - 8 In unsurprising news, the DTES is getting hit worst by the strike. The silver lining to this raincloud? Maybe the homeless people will get so fed up that they leave.

Mental Health fight intensifies. Yeah, just today I saw a woman give birth to one of those red plastic beer cups.
