“Home is where the heart is”: new music video release from Strathcona Park tent city by music composer Tenshun tha Stressed One. youtu.be/VV5iYBEvRic “Between love relationships, devastating losses, losing my family and watching others struggle - I see a life less obvious.”

Morning at the Deltaport blockade. The sun is starting to rise. A man drove up in one of the first trucks to arrive and brought us a gift of sage to thank us for defending Wet’suwet’en land and sovereignty.

@sqwabb @fionaeyork @CCAPdtes This is so sad. Just looking for some basic necessities during a pandemic.
@CityHallWchVAN @yojolew I don't know who was offered what housing in Oppenheimer Park. What I do know is that there is not enough welfare rate decent housing in Vancouver. This is crystal clear @CCAPdtes

Thanks @CCAPdtes for this petition to demand "a measured, appropriate, culturally-safe response to the #COVID19 pandemic to those who are unhoused & overlooked by current pandemic protocols." Homelessness is ALWAYS a threat to health, never more than now. change.org/p/department-o…

@builtjustice It’s dubious that there’s any relationship b/w the shootings & the park. But that won’t stop these guys from stretching to make the connection to justify levelling the park of the inhabitants who otherwise have no other housing option.

@kwardvancouver @Kehyslop @pivotlegal @CCAPdtes @zakvescera @CBCEarlyEdition @AndreaWoo @fabulavancouver @sarahblyth In case not clear, this is not meant of any criticism of your incredible work, just reflecting on the communication end of things.
The motion was a bit watered down by other councillors, as usual. We've learned over and over that change never comes easy, so we can't let up the pressure.
