Morning Brew: January 9th

Are they barking mad? The City of Vancouver is pledging to spend $15m upgrading housing for a marginalized homeless population in the city. Dogs.

100 Years of Homelessness. The perfect read to pluck me out of my mid winter doldrums. Sigh.

Fortress Vancouver. Hopefully it will look something like laser tag.

Adbusters goes to the Supreme Court of B.C. for the right to communicate. Unfortunately, press release is ignored.

Finally, beer and global warming. Together at last.

Obvious statement of the day: People hate the transit fare increase.

More than 7,000 sign online petition for 24-hour SkyTrain. Unfortunately, a similar petition garnered 23,000 signatures calling on Translink to 'pimp' the Skytrain; an X-Box at the front, a hot-tub at the back, a Cristal fountain, and all leather/chrome interior.

While Discover Vancouver user discovers that the new trolleys have an electrical glitch that prevent the back doors from opening and that its not just the driver being a dick.

Who would you like to see as Mayor? Trevor!!!!
