Talking to commuters, "VOTE YES" street team (video)
1 of 1 2 of 1
Our multimedia intern hit the street to find out what transit users think of the current system and the proposed 0.5 percent increase in PST.
The "VOTE YES" street team was on hand at Broadway-City Hall station along the Canada Line to answer some questions about what a "yes" vote would mean for not just public transit users, but drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians as well.
Residents of the Metro Vancouver area have from now until May 29 to send in their vote.

I See Soviet Style Propaganda Teams

This is wonderful! Very similar to the agitprop teams that made sure every citizen and comrade knew about rural electrification; the literacy drive; the evils of kulaks; the joys of collectivization of agriculture; the correct party line; wreckers behind the famine and failures in the five-year plan and the crimes of the various victims of the purge trial.
The "Stakhanovite Street Team" was visiting factories today to encourage workers in their quest to over achieve production quotas. Their performances were well recieved and the daily quota exceeded the norm by 1000%! Thanks you Comrade Stalin for inspiring new feats of industrialization!
Naturally such claptrap was a regular feature of top-down decision making: you knew what was right because the street team told you so. This entire campaign has been an absurd joke and I honestly doubt the expected "NO" will be respected by politicans. We are going to pay for the promises made to developers one way or another folks: thank you Citizen Robertson!
